Coping methods of infertility in the elderly
With the progress of society and the change of people's conception of fertility, more and more couples choose to postpone childbearing, which may lead to the problem of infertility in the elderly. Elderly childbearing infertility refers to women over 35 years old who still fail to conceive after a year or more of normal sexual life. Faced with this problem, couples can take the following countermeasures:
1. Seek help from professional medical institutions
First, couples need to seek the help of professional medical institutions, such as large general hospitals, reproductive centers, etc. These medical institutions are usually equipped with advanced equipment and professional medical teams, which can carry out comprehensive inspection and diagnosis, find out the causes of infertility and give corresponding treatment plans.
Secondly, couples need to choose experienced and reputable specialists for consultation and treatment. These specialists have rich experience and professional knowledge in the field of reproductive medicine, and can develop individualized treatment plans for different infertility causes.
Finally, couples can also consider participating in some prestigious fertility diagnosis and treatment projects, such as IVF, artificial insemination, etc. Through the application of modern reproductive technology, these projects provide more fertility opportunities for elderly infertile couples.
2. Adjust lifestyle and eating habits
Lifestyle and eating habits have an important impact on fertility. For elderly couples, adjusting their lifestyle and eating habits is an important way to improve infertility.
First of all, couples need to maintain a regular schedule of life and ensure adequate rest and sleep. In addition, we should pay attention to control mental pressure and avoid overwork. These measures help to improve the body's immunity and regulate endocrine function, thus promoting pregnancy.
Secondly, couples need to pay attention to the balance and diversity of diet. Reasonably intake foods rich in protein, vitamins and minerals, such as lean meat, fish, vegetables and fruits. In addition, we should avoid consuming too much caffeine and alcohol, and reduce the consumption of foods high in salt, sugar and fat.
Finally, the couple can take some proper exercise, such as walking, yoga, etc. These exercises help to improve blood circulation, regulate endocrine function, and improve the metabolic level of the body.
3. Receiving assisted reproductive technology treatment
For the elderly infertile couples, if the natural pregnancy efforts are not successful after a period of time, they can consider receiving assisted reproductive technology treatment, such as test tube babies, artificial insemination, etc.
IVF is a common treatment method of assisted reproductive technology, which can increase the success rate of pregnancy by fertilizing the taken eggs and sperm in the laboratory, and then transferring the embryos back to the mother. In addition, artificial insemination is also an effective treatment, which can improve the chance of pregnancy by injecting sperm directly into the uterus.
However, to receive assisted reproductive technology treatment, couples need to fully understand the risks and possible side effects of treatment, and make reasonable choices according to the guidance and suggestions of doctors.
4. Psychological guidance and support
In the face of the plight of infertility in the elderly, couples need psychological support and guidance. At this time, you can seek professional psychological consultants or join relevant support groups.
Psychological guidance and support can help couples alleviate anxiety and pressure, establish a positive attitude towards childbirth, and increase confidence in the success of childbirth. At the same time, through communication and sharing with other couples, more information and experience can be collected to provide reference for selecting appropriate treatment methods.
In a word, infertility in the elderly is a common problem. Couples can deal with this problem by seeking help from professional medical institutions, adjusting their lifestyle and eating habits, receiving assisted reproductive technology treatment, and receiving psychological counseling and support. Through comprehensive treatment and support, couples are expected to achieve their reproductive aspirations.
