How old are men?
With the development of society and the improvement of people's living standards, more and more men choose to marry later and have children later. However, the problem of fertility related to age growth has gradually attracted people's attention. So, how old are men? How to judge the timing of male elderly childbearing? Next, we will elaborate from four aspects: age, reproductive capacity, genetic quality and mental health.
Age
The fertility of men will gradually decline with age. According to medical research, men gradually enter the advanced childbearing age after the age of 35. This is mainly because the number and quality of male sperm will decline with the increase of age, which will reduce the fertility. Therefore, generally speaking, a man over 35 years old is considered as an elderly child.
In addition, the age of men is closely related to the risk of genetic diseases. When men give birth at an advanced age, their sperm quality will decline, which will increase the risk of suffering from some genetic diseases, such as Down's syndrome, congenital heart disease, etc. Therefore, men also need to consider the risk of genetic diseases when choosing to have children.
Therefore, how old a man is to give birth at an advanced age is mainly determined by whether he is over 35 years old.
Reproductive capacity
In addition to age, male fertility is also an important indicator to judge the timing of childbearing at an advanced age. Male fertility is mainly assessed by the quantity and quality of sperm. With the growth of age, the quality of male sperm will decline, which will affect the ability to conceive. In addition, men may also have erectile dysfunction, ejaculation dysfunction and other reproductive dysfunction, which will also affect fertility.
In order to judge male fertility, semen analysis can be used to assess the quantity and quality of sperm. If the semen analysis results show that the quantity and quality of sperm are within the normal range, then men also have certain fertility. However, if the quantity and quality of sperm are significantly lower than the normal range, it means that fertility has been greatly affected.
To sum up, fertility is another important factor in judging the timing of male elderly childbearing.
Genetic quality
The problem of genetic quality should also be taken into account when men are old enough to bear children. As men grow older, their sperm quality will decline, which may increase the risk of genetic diseases. Therefore, when men give birth at an advanced age, they need genetic counseling and genetic testing to understand whether there is a risk of genetic diseases.
In some cases, if men are at risk of carrying genetic diseases, they can choose to screen the fertilized eggs through artificial assisted reproduction technology to reduce the risk of transmission of genetic diseases. Therefore, genetic quality is also an important factor for men to consider when giving birth at an advanced age.
mental health
Finally, not only physical conditions but also mental health conditions need to be taken into consideration when giving birth at an advanced age. The pressure and anxiety caused by late childbirth may have a negative impact on male fertility. Therefore, when choosing to give birth at an advanced age, men need to ensure their physical and mental health and have the ability to cope with pressure and anxiety.
Summary
There is no clear standard for how old a man is, but it is generally believed that if he is over 35 years old, he will be considered as an elder. The timing of elder male childbearing should consider factors such as age, fertility, genetic quality and mental health. In addition, before giving birth at an advanced age, men should also consult professional doctors, and carry out relevant examinations and assessments to ensure that they have the conditions for giving birth at an advanced age.
