Requirements for the treatment of infertility in the elderly
With the development of society and the improvement of people's living standards, more and more women choose to have children in their later years. However, the problem of infertility is often accompanied by elder childbearing. For the treatment of infertility in the elderly, there are the following requirements:
1. Comprehensive assessment of physical condition and fertility
The treatment of infertility in elderly women requires a comprehensive physical assessment first. This includes physical examination, gynecological examination and relevant laboratory examination to understand the ovarian function, uterine condition, sex hormone level and other indicators of women. In addition, the physical condition of women needs to be assessed, focusing on the existence of chronic diseases and related genetic history. Doctors will develop personalized treatment plans based on the evaluation results.
In Guangzhou Women and Children's Medical Center, professional gynecologists provide comprehensive evaluation and personalized treatment programs for elderly patients with infertility according to the specific conditions of women.
2. Provide assisted reproductive technology support
Assisted reproductive technology plays an important role in the treatment of infertility in the elderly. Common assisted reproductive technologies include in vitro fertilization (IVF) and embryo transfer. In vitro fertilization refers to the fertilization of female eggs and male sperm in the laboratory and the cultivation of embryos, and then transfer the embryos to the female uterus to help women conceive. For older women, you can choose to use the eggs of young women or the eggs of egg donors for pregnancy.
In the fertility center of Peking Union Medical College Hospital, the expert team, through skilled technology and advanced equipment, provides in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer technology support for elderly infertile patients to help them achieve their fertility aspirations.
3. Personalized treatment plan
The treatment of infertility in the elderly needs to develop personalized programs. According to the specific conditions of women, doctors will formulate treatment plans based on factors such as ovarian function, fertility and physical condition. Some women may need to take orally or inject hormones to promote ovulation, some women may need surgery to solve the problem, and some women may need assisted reproductive technology to help conceive.
In Shanghai First Maternity and Infant Health Hospital, doctors will develop personalized treatment plans based on the individual differences of elderly infertility patients to ensure the pertinence and effectiveness of treatment.
4. Comprehensive assessment of treatment risk and psychological support
The treatment of infertility in the elderly involves certain risks, including physical risks and psychological risks. Age increases the recovery ability of the body, which will increase the risk of surgery or assisted reproductive technology and other treatment methods. In addition, elderly women are also prone to psychological pressure of fertility failure.
In Renji Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine, professional doctors will conduct a comprehensive assessment on elderly patients with infertility to ensure that the treatment risk is controllable. At the same time, the hospital also provides psychological counseling support to help patients relieve pressure and enhance mental health.
To sum up, the treatment of fertility infertility for the elderly requires comprehensive assessment of physical condition and fertility, provision of assisted reproductive technology support, personalized treatment plan, comprehensive assessment of treatment risk and psychological counseling support. Only on the premise of meeting these requirements can we better help elderly women to achieve their reproductive aspirations.
