Can infertility in the elderly be improved?
With the development of society, more and more women choose to postpone childbearing, but the growth of age will also make fertility gradually decline, increasing the risk of infertility. However, the development of modern medical technology has provided hope for the elderly patients with infertility. Many hospitals and doctors have taken a series of methods to improve this problem.
Provide personalized treatment
For the elderly patients with infertility, modern hospitals are increasingly adopting personalized treatment methods. First, doctors will make a comprehensive assessment based on the patient's physical condition and reproductive health, including weight, blood sugar, blood pressure and other indicators. Then, according to the patient's age and reproductive system function, a personalized treatment plan is formulated.
Personalized treatment includes promoting ovulation, increasing the chance of pregnancy, and improving the pregnancy rate. By giving patients appropriate drug treatment or artificial assisted reproductive technology (such as test tube baby technology), doctors can help elderly infertile patients achieve their desire for pregnancy and safe delivery.
Doctor Wang, a gynaecological expert from a hospital in Beijing, said: "Personalized treatment can be adjusted according to the specific conditions of patients, taking more factors into consideration, and improving the accuracy and success rate of treatment." The emergence of this personalized treatment method has brought more hope to the elderly infertility patients.
Advances in assisted reproductive technology
Assisted reproductive technology plays an important role in solving the problem of infertility in the elderly. With the development of science and technology, the success rate of IVF and other assisted reproductive technologies is increasing. This technology can help patients conceive and deliver successfully through in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer.
Dr. Li, a reproductive expert from a hospital in Shanghai, pointed out that "the progress of assisted reproductive technology has given older infertile patients more opportunities." He also said that the continuous innovation and improvement of assisted reproductive technology has not only improved the success rate, but also reduced the pain and discomfort of patients. "
In addition, the emergence of new assisted reproductive technologies such as stem cell technology and gene editing technology also provides new treatment options for elderly infertile patients. The development of these technologies has provided more hope for the elderly infertile patients, so that they can have the opportunity to realize their reproductive aspirations.
Psychological support and care
Elderly infertile patients need not only physical help, but also psychological support. Many hospitals have realized this and set up psychological consultation rooms and psychological support groups to provide professional psychological help for patients.
Ms. Wang, a psychological consultant, said: "Elderly infertile patients often suffer from great psychological pressure, and they need to communicate with professionals to talk about their troubles and anxieties." The provision of psychological support can help patients alleviate anxiety and tension, and increase their enthusiasm and confidence in facing treatment.
In addition, some hospitals also provide nutrition counseling and life guidance services to help patients maintain a healthy lifestyle, enhance physical fitness, and improve the success rate of pregnancy and childbirth.
Summary
The infertility of the elderly is a complex and sensitive problem, but the progress of modern medical technology has brought hope for this problem. The development of personalized treatment, assisted reproductive technology and psychological support and care provide more opportunities and choices for elderly infertile patients.
Although the success rate and risk factors of treatment still exist, these advances have made remarkable achievements, making more elderly infertile patients able to achieve their own fertility aspirations. Therefore, it can be said that the fertility infertility of the elderly can be improved to a certain extent. With the continuous development and improvement of medical technology, I believe that there will be more methods and means in the future to help more elderly infertile patients usher in the miracle of life.
