Medical Intervention in the Elderly Birth
With the development of society, more and more women are getting married late and having children late, that is to say, they plan to become pregnant when they are over 30 years old. In this case, because the reproductive function of women will decline with age, medical intervention is needed to improve the success rate of elderly childbearing. The following will elaborate on four aspects: age management, ovulation induction therapy, assisted reproductive technology and pre pregnancy evaluation.
Age management
For older pregnant women, age management is very critical. Doctors will make a set of suitable plans according to women's age, health status, birth history and other factors. First of all, the doctor will suggest that women should have a comprehensive physical examination before planned pregnancy, including gynecological examination, endocrine examination and genetic counseling. If a woman has some potential disease or genetic disease risks, the doctor may recommend relevant treatment or genetic counseling. In addition, age management also includes bad living habits such as weight loss, smoking cessation and drinking control to improve the success rate.
Another important aspect of age management is nutrition supplementation. With the growth of age, women's ovarian function will gradually decline, and the quality of eggs will also decline. Some studies have shown that the quality of eggs and fertilization rate can be improved by proper nutrition supplement. For example, folic acid and vitamin B12 supplementation can prevent fetal development defects, while antioxidant supplements such as vitamin C and E can reduce ovarian aging and egg damage.
Ovulation induction
For elderly women with ovulation problems, ovulation induction therapy is a common medical intervention. Ovulation induction therapy stimulates ovarian ovulation through the use of ovulation promoting drugs to increase the chance of pregnancy. These drugs can be either oral or injectable.
Before ovulation induction treatment, doctors usually conduct detailed ovulation monitoring to determine the appropriate time for drug treatment. Generally speaking, the treatment period is 28 days. During the treatment, the doctor will regularly conduct ultrasonic examination and blood examination to determine the ovulation situation and drug efficacy. In addition, attention should be paid to monitoring the occurrence of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome to reduce the risk of treatment.
Assisted reproductive technology
For the elderly pregnant women, assisted reproductive technology is an important means to improve the success rate. Assisted reproductive technology includes IVF technology, tubal pregnancy technology and embryo cryopreservation. These technologies can help women solve fertility problems to varying degrees.
For example, IVF technology can help elderly women with poor ovarian function to achieve pregnancy through artificial fertilization or embryo transfer. The tubal pregnancy technology can help women without bilateral tubal function to successfully conceive. Embryo cryopreservation technology can help women achieve pregnancy at different times to reduce drug stimulation and pregnancy risk.
Pre pregnancy assessment
Pre pregnancy assessment is an essential step for older women before pregnancy. The doctor will conduct a comprehensive physical examination for women, including gynecological examination, endocrine examination and chromosome examination. In addition, doctors will conduct specific risk assessment and health guidance according to women's age and reproductive history.
In the process of pre pregnancy assessment, the doctor will know the basic information, pregnancy and birth history and family history of the woman in detail to determine the possible genetic disease risks. If there are risks, doctors may recommend relevant genetic testing or consultation. In addition, during the pre pregnancy evaluation process, women also need to carry out a series of vaccination and infectious disease screening to ensure the health of mothers and infants.
summary
The elderly childbearing needs medical intervention to improve the success rate. Through comprehensive intervention in age management, ovulation induction therapy, assisted reproductive technology and pre pregnancy evaluation, the reproductive health of elderly women can be guaranteed to the greatest extent. However, it should be noted that each woman's situation is unique, and specific intervention programs should be formulated according to individual conditions and implemented under the guidance of professional doctors.
