Background of elder childbearing
With the development of society and the improvement of people's quality of life, more and more women choose to postpone pregnancy. However, the elderly childbearing also faces some risks and difficulties. In order to ensure the health of elderly women who have given birth and the safety of the fetus, social and medical institutions have taken a variety of security measures.
Advances in medical technology
The continuous progress of medical technology has provided a strong guarantee for the elderly childbearing. For example, IVF technology can help older women conceive, regardless of whether there are some physiological problems. With the improvement of technology, the success rate of IVF is also gradually increasing, fulfilling the dream of being a mother for many elderly women.
At the same time, medical technology also makes pregnancy monitoring more comprehensive and accurate. By means of ultrasound, fetal heart monitoring and Down syndrome screening, doctors can find and solve problems that may occur during pregnancy in time to ensure the health of elderly women and fetuses.
In addition, the continuous development and improvement of modern medical facilities also provide better protection for the elderly childbearing. Some large specialized hospitals, such as Peking Union Medical College Hospital and Shanghai Jiaotong University Children's Hospital, have higher technical level and rich experience in the field of elderly childbearing, and can provide more professional and comprehensive medical services.
Application of comprehensive assisted reproductive technology
With the progress of comprehensive assisted reproductive technology, the elderly childbearing has also been greatly promoted. Comprehensive assisted reproductive technology includes in vitro fertilization embryo transfer (IVF-ET) and cryopreservation of mature eggs.
IVF-ET technology has greatly improved the success rate of pregnancy for elderly women. By transferring sperm and eggs into the uterus after in vitro fertilization, it can not only improve the success rate of egg fertilization, but also screen high-quality embryos, reducing the risk of miscarriage and deformity.
In addition, the cryopreservation technology of mature eggs also gives older women more choices. This technology can delay the process of egg aging, so that women can freeze and save their eggs when they are young, and then unfreeze and fertilize in vitro when they want to have children, increasing the chance of pregnancy.
Comprehensive pre pregnancy assessment and prenatal examination
In order to ensure the safety of elderly pregnant women, medical institutions will conduct a comprehensive pre pregnancy assessment. Through comprehensive assessment of the physical condition, medical history and potential risks of pregnant women, doctors can customize individualized pregnancy management programs for women.
In addition, for elderly mothers, doctors will also increase the frequency and items of prenatal examination to ensure the health of mothers and fetuses. In the process of prenatal examination, doctors will focus on the blood pressure, blood sugar, fetal growth, etc. of pregnant women, find and solve possible problems at any time, and ensure the safety and smooth progress of elderly childbirth.
Summary
To sum up, the advanced childbearing has been guaranteed in many aspects, such as the progress of medical technology, the application of comprehensive assisted reproductive technology, comprehensive pre pregnancy evaluation and prenatal examination. The implementation of these measures can not only reduce the risks that the elderly childbearing may face, but also provide more choices and opportunities for the elderly childbearing women. In the future, with the continuous innovation and progress of medical technology, it is believed that the security measures for elderly childbearing will continue to improve, bringing good news to more women in their twilight years.
