The Background and Problems of Super old Women Having Children
With the development of society, more and more women choose to delay childbearing and pursue career and personal development. However, the decline of female reproductive function is an inescapable reality. The ultra elderly women who have given birth are those who have passed the age of 40. They are facing many difficulties and challenges in realizing their desire to give birth.
First of all, the number and quality of eggs of ultra elderly women who have given birth have significantly decreased, leading to a reduction in the probability of pregnancy and an increase in the abortion rate. Secondly, women who have given birth at an extremely old age are more likely to suffer from complications during pregnancy, such as hypertension, diabetes, etc., which also pose certain risks to the health of their children. In addition, due to the increase of childbearing age, women who have given birth at a very old age may face greater pressure in caring for children and families.
Therefore, how to realize the desire to have children has become an urgent problem for the very old women who have children. As a potential solution, assisted reproductive technology provides new hope for these women.
Application of artificial assisted reproduction technology
Artificial assisted reproductive technology is a way to help patients achieve their reproductive aspirations through medical means. At present, the common artificial assisted reproduction technologies include test tube baby technology, egg freezing technology and surrogate technology.
IVF technology is the most common artificial assisted reproduction technology. It realizes pregnancy and delivery by fertilizing women's eggs and men's sperm in vitro, cultivating them into embryos, and then transplanting them into women's uterus. This technology can overcome the problem of poor egg quality of very old women who give birth and improve the pregnancy rate. At the same time, IVF technology can also reduce the transfer of chromosome abnormal embryos and the abortion rate through embryo screening.
The egg freezing technology is to take out and freeze the female eggs, and then fertilize and transplant them at a more appropriate time. Through this technology, ultra elderly women can freeze and preserve their young eggs, and then conceive and conceive at an appropriate time. This technique can solve the problem of insufficient egg quantity and quality.
The surrogacy technology refers to the transfer of an embryo to another woman's uterus for growth, and her pregnancy and delivery. This technique is applicable to women with abnormal uterine function or without uterus. For women who have given birth at an advanced age, surrogacy technology can alleviate the pregnancy problems brought by their age growth.
Advantages and limitations of assisted reproductive technology
Artificial assisted reproductive technology has brought a glimmer of life to the ultra elderly women who have given birth, but there are also some advantages and limitations.
First of all, assisted reproductive technology can overcome the problem of poor egg quality of ultra old women, improve the pregnancy rate and delivery rate, and increase the chance of success in childbirth. Secondly, through embryo screening, assisted reproductive technology has reduced the transfer of chromosome abnormal embryos and the abortion rate. Finally, surrogacy technology provides a feasible way for ultra elderly women who have no uterus or abnormal uterine function to realize their reproductive aspirations.
However, there are also some limitations of artificial assisted reproduction technology. First of all, these technologies cannot completely eliminate the reproductive risks of ultra old women who have given birth. Pregnancy complications and infant health problems still exist. Secondly, assisted reproductive technology has certain requirements and burdens on patients' physical, psychological and economic aspects. In addition, the success rate of artificial assisted reproduction technology is not 100%, and it may take many attempts to achieve the fertility desire.
epilogue
The artificial assisted reproductive technology provides new hope for the ultra old women to realize their reproductive aspirations. Through IVF technology, egg freezing technology and surrogacy technology, these women can overcome problems such as poor egg quality, insufficient egg number and abnormal uterine function.
However, assisted reproductive technology also has some limitations and risks, which can not completely eliminate the fertility difficulties of ultra old women. Therefore, before seeking artificial assisted reproductive technology, women of super old age who have given birth should fully understand the advantages and limitations of technology, and fully consider their own physical conditions and psychological preparation.
In a word, the artificial assisted reproductive technology provides the possibility for ultra old women to realize their reproductive aspirations, but they still need to be cautious and rational in the process of using technology to ensure their physical and mental health and reproductive safety.
