Can super old childbearing conceive naturally?
With the progress of modern medicine and the change of social concepts, more and more women choose to postpone childbearing and try to conceive again when they are very old. However, whether the super old childbearing can be naturally conceived has become the focus of many people's attention. This article will elaborate this problem from many aspects, such as physiology, psychology, environment and society.
Physiological angle
From a physiological point of view, women's fertility will gradually decline as they grow older. Under normal circumstances, women will have the ability to ovulate at the beginning of puberty, and will have the opportunity to release eggs once a month. However, with the growth of age, the number and quality of female eggs will gradually decrease.
Over age childbearing usually refers to the pregnancy of women over 40 years old. At this age, women's ovulation is not as stable as when they were young, and the quality of eggs will also decline. Research shows that women over 40 release only half of the healthy eggs of young women every month. The decline of egg quality will increase the difficulty of pregnancy, and will also increase the risk of chromosomal abnormalities in the fetus.
In addition, other factors of women's body will also affect the success rate of ultra old childbearing. For example, endometrial thinning, pelvic organ prolapse and other problems may lead to difficult pregnancy or increased risk of abortion.
Psychological perspective
In addition to physiological problems, the super old childbearing will also have an impact on women's psychology. Because of the growth of age and the lack of childbearing experience, ultra old expectant mothers may face more anxiety and pressure. For example, for women who are pregnant for the first time, the process of pregnancy and the risks of childbirth may cause anxiety. At the same time, super old expectant mothers may also face more social pressure and scrutiny, which will also increase their anxiety and pressure.
Environmental perspective
The living environment of very old expectant mothers will also have an impact on natural pregnancy. Lifestyle has an important impact on the ability to conceive, such as eating habits, amount of exercise, environmental pollution, etc. Some studies have shown that foods rich in folic acid, vitamin D and antioxidants in the diet can help improve fertility. In addition, reducing smoking, drinking and avoiding exposure to harmful chemicals can also improve the chances of pregnancy.
In addition, the partner age of the ultra elderly expectant mother is also an important factor affecting pregnancy. The quality and quantity of male sperm will also decline with age, which will have a negative impact on pregnancy.
Social perspective
Over age childbearing is also affected by social factors. The laws and regulations in different regions have different restrictions on ultra old childbearing, and some countries even prohibit ultra old childbearing. In permitted areas, the development of medical resources and technology will also affect the choice of ultra old childbearing.
In China, some high-level hospitals, such as Peking Union Medical College Hospital and the Ninth People's Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine, provide technical support and professional medical teams to provide assisted reproduction opportunities for ultra elderly women. These hospitals usually use assisted reproductive technology, such as IVF, egg donation and other ways to help expectant mothers achieve pregnancy and delivery.
Summary
It is a complex problem whether the super old childbearing can be naturally conceived, which involves many factors such as physiology, psychology, environment and society. Physiologically, the fertility of ultra old women will gradually decline; Psychologically, super old expectant mothers may face more anxiety and pressure; From the perspective of environment, factors such as lifestyle and partner's age also affect fertility; Finally, social factors such as laws and regulations and medical resources will also have an impact on ultra old childbearing. Therefore, it is very important for women who want to give birth at an advanced age to consider these factors comprehensively and consult professional doctors.
