Infertility affects over 6 million people in the United States and has been shown to disproportionally affect minority patient populations. Asian American infertility is a particularly understudied area of research. This mini review article explores the current state of published research focusing on Asian American infertility trends as well as their barriers to fertility care. A small number of published studies have found that Asian American patients have decreased success with fertility treatments, including lower rates of pregnancy and live birth. These trends may be attributed to a combination of genetic, environmental, and cultural factors, which will be discussed here in further detail. It is crucial to continue building on Asian American fertility research to provide this diverse patient population with comprehensive, compassionate, and culturally sensitive care.
在美国，不孕症影响着超过600万人，并且已显示出对少数族裔患者群体的影响尤为严重。亚裔美国人的不孕症是一个特别缺乏研究的领域。这篇小型综述文章探讨了目前已发表的关于亚裔美国人不孕症趋势及其生育护理障碍的研究现状。少数已发表的研究发现，亚裔美国患者在生育治疗方面的成功率较低，包括怀孕率和活产率较低。这些趋势可能归因于遗传、环境和文化因素的综合作用，本文将对此进行更详细的讨论。继续开展亚裔美国人的生育研究，为这一多样化的患者群体提供全面、富有同情心且具有文化敏感性的护理至关重要。
