What examinations do couples need to do to give birth at an advanced age?

With the development of society and the improvement of people's requirements for quality of life, many couples choose to delay childbearing, especially the elderly couples. However, the possibility of some risks and problems will be increased by giving birth at an advanced age. Therefore, both husband and wife need to carry out a series of examinations to ensure a safe pregnancy and a smooth birth. This article will elaborate on the inspection of elderly childbearing of couples from four aspects.

1. Physical condition inspection

First of all, both husband and wife need a comprehensive physical examination. This includes physical examination, blood routine test, liver function, kidney function, electrocardiogram, hepatitis B virus indicators, HIV indicators and other inspection items. Through these examinations, we can know whether the physical conditions of both spouses are suitable for pregnancy and childbirth. If potential diseases or health problems are found, corresponding treatment and adjustment measures need to be taken in time.

At the same time, women also need gynecological examination, including vaginal discharge examination, cervical smear, breast color ultrasound and other items. These tests can help doctors assess women's fertility and reproductive system health.

In this regard, Beijing Hospital of Obstetrics and Gynecology is a professional hospital that provides comprehensive gynecological examination services.

2. Fertility assessment

In order to accurately assess the fertility of both husband and wife, a series of fertility assessment checks need to be carried out. Men need semen analysis to assess the quantity, quality and mobility of sperm. Women need to carry out hysterosalpingography, ovarian function evaluation, endometrial thickness inspection and other items to assess whether the ovarian function and uterine structure are normal.

3. Gene screening

Babies of elderly couples may face the risk of some genetic diseases. Therefore, both spouses need to conduct gene screening to assess genetic risk. Gene screening can help couples know whether they carry harmful genes, so as to avoid the occurrence of genetic diseases. Common gene screening items include autosomal genetic disease screening and chromosome number abnormality screening.

4. Mental health assessment

Older couples face greater pressure, so mental health assessment is also very important. Couples can understand and cope with possible psychological pressure and anxiety through the guidance of psychological experts. Mental health assessment can also help couples better adapt to the process of pregnancy and parenting.

Summary:

The examinations that couples need to do for elderly childbearing include physical condition examination, fertility assessment, gene screening and mental health assessment. Through these examinations, we can understand the physical health of both spouses, assess their fertility and genetic risks, and help them better adapt to the process of pregnancy and childbirth. If problems or needs are found, seek the help and guidance of professional medical institutions in time to ensure the smooth and safe delivery of the elderly.
