Reasons for the low fertility success rate of the elderly
With the progress of modern medical technology and the extension of people's life span, the phenomenon of elderly childbearing is increasingly common. However, it is undeniable that the success rate of elderly childbearing is relatively low. So, what is the reason for the low fertility rate of the elderly? The following will elaborate on physiological factors, psychological factors, medical technology and lifestyle.
1、 Physiological factors
First, the decline in egg quality of elderly women is one of the important reasons for the low fertility success rate of elderly women. With the growth of age, the number and quality of female eggs will gradually decrease, and the ovarian function will gradually decline, thus reducing the possibility of pregnancy. In addition, elderly women are prone to chronic diseases and immune system decline, which will also have a negative impact on fertility.
Secondly, the sperm quality of older men is also one of the factors affecting the success rate of fertility. Due to the decline of testicular function and the change of sperm quality, the number, vitality and morphology of sperm in elderly men have changed, which affects the possibility of pregnancy.
Finally, the increased risk of pregnancy in elderly women is also one of the factors that lead to the low success rate of fertility in elderly women. Older women are prone to pregnancy complications, such as hypertension, diabetes, oligohydramnios, etc., which will bring certain risks to the development of the fetus and the health of the mother, thus increasing the difficulty of childbirth.
2、 Psychological factors
The psychological pressure of elderly childbearing is also one of the reasons for the low success rate. For elderly couples, they may face the pressure of pressing childbearing time, and worry about missing the best time for childbearing; They may also face the pressure of fertility failure and a sense of self blame. These negative emotions will have an impact on fertility.
In addition, the elderly couple may affect the endocrine and immune system functions of the body due to excessive anxiety, thus further reducing the success rate of fertility.
3、 Medical technology
Although modern medical technology has made a great breakthrough, there are still some technical problems in the elderly childbearing. For example, the decline of ovarian reactivity, the low rate of egg implantation, and the weakening of embryo implantation ability of elderly women will have a negative impact on the fertility success rate.
In addition, for the assisted reproductive technology of elderly women, such as in vitro fertilization (IVF), due to the limitation of egg quality, the success rate is relatively low, which requires more sophisticated technical operations.
4、 Lifestyle
Lifestyle is also an important factor affecting the fertility success rate of the elderly. The unreasonable diet structure, lack of exercise, and bad living habits (such as smoking and drinking) will affect the quality of eggs and sperm, and thus affect fertility opportunities.
In addition, reducing stress, maintaining a good attitude and a positive and optimistic attitude towards life are also very important for the elderly childbearing, which helps to improve the success rate.
How to improve the success rate of elderly childbearing
In order to improve the success rate of elderly childbearing, we can start from the following aspects:
First of all, plan the birth time early, consult the doctor as soon as possible, understand your own birth status and receive necessary inspection and treatment.
Secondly, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, reasonable diet, balanced nutrition, proper exercise and avoiding bad living habits will help improve the quality of sperm and eggs.
In addition, for elderly women and men, assisted reproductive technologies, such as in vitro fertilization (IVF), can be tried and treated according to the guidance of doctors.
Finally, attention should be paid to regulating the psychological state, maintaining a positive and optimistic attitude, and avoiding excessive anxiety and pressure, which will help to improve the fertility success rate.
summary
The reasons for the low fertility rate of the elderly mainly include physiological factors, psychological factors, medical technology and lifestyle. Physiological factors are mainly reflected in the decline of female and male reproductive system functions, psychological factors mainly include the influence of anxiety and pressure, medical technology mainly includes the restrictions of assisted reproductive technology, and lifestyle mainly includes diet, exercise and mentality. Improving the success rate of elderly childbearing can be achieved through early planning, healthy lifestyle, assisted reproductive technology and good mentality. We should increase the awareness and understanding of elderly childbearing, and actively take corresponding measures to improve the success rate of elderly childbearing.
