Is it necessary to accept assisted reproductive technology to give birth at the age of 39?
In recent years, with the increase of late childbearing, many women still hope to have a smooth pregnancy and childbirth at the age of 39. However, women in this age group have entered the stage of rapid decline in fertility, facing many difficulties and risks. In this case, whether to accept assisted reproductive technology has become a controversial issue.
1. The real challenge of fertility decline
With the growth of age, women's fertility gradually declined. The number and quality of eggs of women aged 39 will be significantly reduced compared with those aged 30. This makes the 39 year old childbearing face lower natural pregnancy rate and higher abortion rate. For example, the Mayo Clinic in the United States pointed out that women over 35 years old have only about 25% chance of getting pregnant every month. Therefore, assisted reproductive technology can provide a way to increase the chance of pregnancy.
In addition, aging is accompanied by various risks for pregnant women and fetuses. For a 39 year old woman, the risk of pregnancy complications such as hypertension, diabetes and Down syndrome will be significantly increased. Assisted reproductive technology can reduce these risks by means of gene screening, embryo screening and monitoring the physical condition of pregnant women.
However, assisted reproductive technology is not perfect. Although it can improve the chance of pregnancy and reduce the risk, not all women are suitable for these technologies. Everyone's physical conditions and physiological conditions are different, and need to be evaluated and judged according to the specific situation.
2. Types and applicability of assisted reproductive technology
At present, the common assisted reproductive technologies include IVF, IVF and transplantation. IVF means that after in vitro fertilization of female eggs and male sperm, the fertilized eggs are transferred to the female uterus. In vitro fertilization is to fertilize the female egg and male sperm in a culture dish, and then transplant the fertilized egg into the female uterus.
According to the specific situation of each woman, the doctor will evaluate which assisted reproductive technology is more suitable for them. Age, ovarian function, tubal patency, etc. will affect the doctor's judgment. Generally speaking, for women aged 39, IVF and IVF are common and effective choices.
3. Risks and precautions of assisted reproductive technology
Although assisted reproductive technology can increase the chance of pregnancy, it also comes with certain risks and precautions. First, assisted reproductive technology may lead to an increase in the incidence of multiple pregnancies. This will increase the health risks of pregnant women and fetuses, which requires strict monitoring and management by doctors.
Secondly, assisted reproductive technology may cause certain pressure and burden on women's body and psychology. The treatment process may require multiple egg retrieval, hormone therapy, etc. This will have a certain impact on women's body and mood, and needs professional guidance and support from regular hospitals.
It is worth mentioning that assisted reproductive technology is not a panacea, nor can it guarantee 100% success rate. Every woman's situation is different, and many factors need to be considered for success.
4. Comprehensive evaluation and individual selection
When deciding whether to accept assisted reproductive technology, it is recommended that women aged 39 and their partners comprehensively assess their own situation. They should consult professional doctors to understand their reproductive potential, risks and feasibility.
In addition, women can also improve their chances of natural pregnancy through a healthy lifestyle. Reasonable diet, balanced nutrition, moderate exercise and smoking cessation all contribute to improving fertility.
To sum up, the 39 year old childbearing is facing practical challenges such as declining fertility and increasing risks, and assisted reproductive technology has become an optional method. However, the choice of whether to accept assisted reproductive technology requires comprehensive consideration of various factors and consultation with professional doctors. No matter which way you choose, the key is to realize your fertility wish as far as possible on the premise of ensuring safety and health.
