The relationship between the elderly puerpera and IVF technology
Older women refer to women over 35 years old. IVF technology is an assisted reproductive technology that can help couples who cannot conceive naturally realize their dreams of childbirth. So, is it suitable for elderly mothers to carry out IVF technology? This article will discuss this problem from many aspects.
1. Physiological factors
The fertility of women in some age groups will gradually decline after a certain age accumulation. Female fertility is mainly related to the quantity and quality of eggs in the ovary. With the increase of age, the number and quality of eggs will gradually decrease. This means that there may be chromosomal abnormalities, morphological abnormalities and other problems in the eggs of elderly mothers, which will significantly increase the risk of pregnancy complications.
However, IVF technology can artificially control ovarian function, collect fresh sperm and eggs, combine sperm and eggs in vitro in the laboratory, and then implant embryos into the mother's uterus. This process can avoid to the greatest extent the reproductive difficulties caused by the egg problems of elderly mothers. Therefore, from the perspective of physiological factors, the elderly mothers can achieve fertility through IVF technology.
2. Psychological and social factors
The elderly parturient women may have experienced the pain of long-term infertility, and their psychological and social pressure is greater. IVF technology can provide these couples with a new choice of pregnancy preparation, help them realize their dream of becoming parents, and thus reduce their psychological burden.
In addition, IVF technology also has certain social significance for elderly mothers. With the development of society, people's requirements for childbearing age have gradually increased. The successful case of elderly mothers obtaining healthy babies through IVF technology can change people's inherent concept of elderly mothers and provide more childbearing options for more couples with similar needs.
3. Medical conditions
IVF technology usually needs to be carried out in the artificial pregnancy center of the hospital, rather than the general obstetrics and gynecology hospital. These artificial pregnancy centers have complete facilities, professional medical staff and advanced equipment. With medical conditions guaranteed, IVF technology is safe and feasible for elderly mothers.
For example, Beijing Union Medical College Hospital Artificial Conception Center is an international leading scientific research institution and medical unit. They have rich experience in the implementation of IVF technology and can provide high-quality medical services and consultation for elderly mothers.
4. Risks and precautions
Although IVF technology provides an opportunity for older women to have children, there are also risks and precautions. IVF technology may increase the risk of multiple pregnancy and premature delivery. In addition, some women may experience problems such as stress and emotional fluctuation during the whole IVF process.
Therefore, before IVF technology, the elderly mothers and their husbands should have a comprehensive health examination under the guidance of professional doctors to understand the possible risks and precautions. At the same time, they should also be clear about their fertility desire and ability, and be psychologically prepared.
summary
To sum up, the test tube baby technology can be carried out for elderly mothers. Under the consideration of physiological, psychological and social factors, IVF technology provides a new choice for the elderly mothers to achieve fertility. However, it should be clearly pointed out that IVF technology also has risks and precautions, so it needs to be carried out under the guidance of professional doctors and be fully prepared.
