How old are boys?
With the development of society and the continuous extension of people's pursuit of personal career, many men choose to marry late and have children late, which also leads to the increase of elderly childbearing. So, how old are boys? It is discussed from the following aspects.
1. Decline in fertility
With the growth of age, male fertility will gradually decline. Research shows that the number and vitality of male sperm will decrease with age, and the DNA quality of sperm will also change. Especially for men over 40 years old, their fertility is significantly lower than that of young men, which is likely to lead to fertility problems. Therefore, it is generally believed that boys over 40 years of age are old children.
In addition, older fathers also increase the risk of some genetic diseases. For example, congenital heart disease, cleft lip and other diseases, which are related to the unstable quality of sperm DNA. Therefore, if men want high-quality offspring, it is recommended to have children at a younger age.
2. Health risks of children
As men grow older, some of the risks associated with older childbearing will also increase. For example, research has found that children born to older fathers are more likely to suffer from certain diseases, such as autism and schizophrenia. This may be related to the decrease of sperm DNA quality and the increase of genetic mutation. Therefore, elderly men need to consider the health risks of their children when giving birth.
In addition, male reproductive system function decline will also affect the health of children. For example, older fathers tend to have higher sperm deformity rates, which may lead to birth defects and other problems. Therefore, men need to weigh the risks carefully when considering fertility.
3. Consider the role of father
When men give birth at an advanced age, they need to consider their own physical conditions and the role of father. With the growth of age, men's physical strength and energy will gradually decline, and it may be difficult to care for and educate their children. In addition, with the growth of children, the time that fathers need to accompany and guide them will also be extended, requiring more effort and time. Therefore, men should carefully consider their own physical conditions and responsibilities when giving birth at an advanced age.
4. Selection of medically assisted reproduction
For older men, if it is more difficult to have a natural birth, they can choose medical assisted reproductive technology to achieve their reproductive aspirations. For example, the common IVF technology can achieve the goal of pregnancy by fusing sperm into eggs. This technology can compensate for the decline in male fertility.
Medical assisted reproductive technology needs to be operated in professional hospitals, such as the Reproductive Department of the Municipal Hospital and the Reproductive Center of the People's Hospital. When selecting hospitals and technologies, formal medical institutions should be selected, and legal and compliant operations should be followed to ensure safety and effectiveness.
Summary
The age of boys is considered as the age at which they give birth. It is generally believed that the age above 40 is considered as the age at which they give birth. With the growth of age, male fertility declines, children's health risks increase, and the assumption of the father's role also needs to be considered, and medical assisted reproductive technology can be an option. When giving birth at an advanced age, men should fully consider various factors and consult with professional doctors to choose a suitable birth mode.
