Introduce the current situation of infertility in the elderly
With the development of society and the change of people's living habits, more and more couples choose to be pregnant at an advanced age. However, the problem of female infertility at an advanced age has gradually emerged. The so-called elderly childbearing refers to the situation that a woman over 35 years old, especially over 40 years old, still fails to attempt a natural pregnancy for one year. Elderly infertility may be a huge blow to couples, but through timely treatment, many couples can still achieve good results.
There are many reasons for infertility in the elderly, including female egg quality decline, weak endometrium, hysteromyoma, fallopian tube problems, etc. At the same time, the sperm quality of men will decline with age. Therefore, in order to obtain a good therapeutic effect, it is necessary to conduct a comprehensive and careful examination of both the husband and wife.
At present, many hospitals with advanced technology and professional experience have provided treatment programs for infertility in the elderly, including in vitro fertilization and assisted reproductive technology. The following will elaborate on the good results of fertility infertility treatment for the elderly from different aspects.
Treatment plan I: In vitro fertilization (IVF)
In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a commonly used and effective technique for the treatment of infertility in the elderly. By combining the female egg with the male sperm in the laboratory, and then transplanting the fertilized egg back into the female uterus, the chance of pregnancy is increased.
The success rate of IVF is related to many factors, including female age, egg quality and uterine conditions. However, despite the fact that age is an important factor, it does not mean that an older person will not be able to successfully conceive. In fact, many elderly women successfully conceive and give birth through in vitro fertilization.
The Reproductive Center of Beijing People's Hospital is a hospital specializing in in vitro fertilization technology. The hospital has internationally leading laboratory equipment and first-class medical team, which can provide the most advanced treatment scheme for elderly couples.
Treatment plan II: Assisted reproductive technology (ART)
Assisted reproductive technology refers to the technology that helps couples complete pregnancy through artificial means. In addition to in vitro fertilization, there are many other assisted reproductive technologies available, such as egg freezing, embryo freezing and surrogacy.
Egg freezing is a common technique for the treatment of infertility in the elderly. Cryopreservation of healthy female eggs can delay the aging of eggs and improve the chance of pregnancy. Egg freezing technology has been widely used in many hospitals, including the Reproductive Center of Shanghai Huashan Hospital.
In addition, surrogacy is also a feasible option for the elderly infertility caused by uterine problems. The Reproductive Center of Guangzhou Union Medical College Hospital is a hospital that provides surrogacy services. Through surrogacy technology, many elderly couples have successfully achieved their reproductive aspirations.
Treatment plan III: TCM assisted treatment
In addition to Western medicine technology, Chinese medicine also has a certain role in the treatment of infertility in the elderly. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that infertility at an advanced age is mainly caused by weakness of the body, disharmony of qi and blood, loss of blood essence, etc. The chance of pregnancy can be increased by recuperating the body and improving the physique.
Longhua Hospital affiliated to Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine is a hospital that specializes in auxiliary treatment of traditional Chinese medicine. Their original fertility regulation program combines the theory of traditional Chinese medicine and the practice of modern medicine, which has good effects on the elderly infertility.
The treatment results are encouraging
Although the problem of infertility in the elderly has brought troubles to couples, many couples still achieved good results through timely treatment. Whether Western medicine technology or traditional Chinese medicine treatment is chosen, it can improve the chance of pregnancy to a certain extent. However, in order to obtain better treatment effect, couples should see a doctor as soon as possible and choose a professional hospital for examination and treatment.
In a word, the problem of infertility in the elderly is not incurable. Through the professional treatment plan and the support of the medical team, many couples finally realized their reproductive dreams.
