NPC deputy suggests better informing patients of fertility risks before treatment

During the 'two sessions', Ruan Xiangyan, a doctor and deputy to the 14th National People's Congress, proposed improving the notification system for informing patients about fertility risks prior to medical treatment. She highlighted that while modern treatments save lives, they often result in permanent fertility loss due to therapies like radiotherapy or chemotherapy. Ruan emphasized the importance of fertility preservation, particularly for women, and pointed out that despite national guidelines from China's National Health Commission, implementation at the grassroots level remains inconsistent. Her suggestions include expanding the notification system, standardizing information disclosure, increasing awareness among healthcare providers, and integrating fertility protection metrics into hospital evaluations.
