Reasons for the low fertility success rate of the elderly
With the progress of society and the development of medicine, more and more women are delaying childbearing and choosing to become pregnant at an advanced age. However, the elderly fertility is often accompanied by a lower success rate. So, what is the reason for the low fertility success rate of the elderly?
First, as women grow older, their ovarian function gradually declines, and the number and quality of eggs will also be affected. Low egg quality will lead to implantation obstacles and abnormal embryonic development, increasing the risk of miscarriage. In addition, old age will increase the probability of suffering from some gynecological diseases, such as hysteromyoma, polycystic ovary syndrome, etc. These diseases will also affect pregnancy and the healthy development of embryos.
Secondly, the metabolism and immune system of women will also decline with age. This means that the cellular immune response to pregnancy will be reduced during natural pregnancy, thus increasing the risk of rejection of early embryos. In addition, with the growth of age, the incidence of gynecological diseases and chronic diseases will also increase, and these diseases will affect the outcome of pregnancy.
In addition, male fertility will also decline with age. The quality and quantity of male sperm will be affected, thus reducing the fertility. This is also one of the factors that lead to the low fertility success rate of the elderly.
Methods to improve the success rate of elderly childbearing
Although the success rate of elderly childbearing is relatively low, we can improve the success rate of elderly childbearing through some medical means and methods.
1. High quality egg and embryo screening
For older women, the quality of eggs and embryos is very important. Therefore, through assisted reproductive technology, such as in vitro fertilization (IVF) or egg donation, better eggs and embryos can be screened to improve the success rate of pregnancy.
In addition, screening healthy embryos through gene testing can also reduce the risk of chromosomal abnormalities and genetic diseases, and improve the success rate of pregnancy.
2. Adjustment of nutrition and health care
Older women should pay attention to nutrition and health care before preparing for pregnancy. Balanced diet, proper exercise and good living habits are very important for improving the fertility success rate.
In addition, supplements of folic acid, vitamin D and other nutrients can also improve fertility. Regular physical examination and gynaecological examination, timely detection and treatment of potential gynaecological diseases, are also important measures to improve the success rate of elderly childbearing.
3. Select appropriate medical institutions
Choosing a professional medical institution is also the key to improving the success rate of elderly childbearing. First class and regular medical institutions have the most advanced equipment and technology, and experienced doctors, who can provide better medical services for elderly women.
For example, the Reproductive Medicine Center of Guangzhou Women and Children's Medical Center in Guangdong Province of China is a professional reproductive medicine institution with international level. They have the most advanced IVF technology and rich clinical experience, and can provide all-round medical services for elderly women.
4. Psychological counseling and support
In the process of giving birth at an advanced age, women often face more pressure and problems. Therefore, the maintenance and guidance of mental health is very important. Women can seek professional psychological consultation and support, communicate with professional doctors, family members and friends, share experience and feelings, reduce pressure and maintain a good attitude.
summary
The low fertility success rate of the elderly is mainly due to the decline of female ovarian function, the weakening of body metabolism and immune system, and the decline of male fertility. In order to improve the success rate of elderly childbearing, we need to help elderly women realize their reproductive dreams through high-quality egg and embryo screening, adjusting nutrition and health care, selecting appropriate medical institutions, and psychological counseling and support.
