What is the success rate of older IVF infants?
As an assisted reproductive technology, IVF has been widely used in modern times. It has realized the birth dream for many infertile couples. However, for elderly couples, the success rate has always been a matter of concern. So, what is the success rate of IVF for elderly couples? This article will elaborate and analyze from many aspects.
Age and success rate
Age is an important factor affecting the success rate of IVF. With the growth of age, the quality of female eggs gradually declined, and the ability to conceive also gradually weakened. According to the data from some authoritative hospitals in China, the success rate of IVF for women under 35 years old is relatively high, about 40% to 50%; The success rate of women between 35 and 40 years old is 30% to 40%; The success rate of women over 40 years old is only 10% to 20%.
Although age has a significant impact on the success rate of IVF, it does not mean that elderly couples must not succeed. In fact, some hospitals have accumulated rich experience in assisted reproductive technology, which can improve the success rate by adopting more accurate treatment schemes.
Hospital experience and success rate
Choosing an experienced hospital is crucial for elderly couples. Some well-known hospitals, such as Peking Union Medical College Hospital, Fudan University Affiliated Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital, have professional teams and advanced equipment, which can provide personalized treatment programs for elderly couples. These hospitals have continuously accumulated experience and exchanged and cooperated with experts at home and abroad to continuously improve their technical level and further improve the success rate of older IVF babies.
In addition, some hospitals have carried out many innovative research in the field of IVF. For example, a hospital has used high-throughput sequencing technology to screen the whole genome of embryos, so as to screen high-quality embryos and improve the implantation rate and pregnancy rate. The application of these new technologies and methods has brought new hope for IVF treatment of elderly couples.
Physical condition and success rate
In addition to age and hospital experience, the physical condition of elderly couples also has a certain impact on the success rate of IVF. The disease and discomfort of women's body will affect the quality and quantity of eggs, thus reducing the ability to conceive. Similarly, the physical condition of men will also affect the quality of sperm.
Therefore, before IVF, elderly couples should have a comprehensive physical examination to understand their own health. If you find some physical problems, you can actively communicate with the doctor to develop appropriate treatment plans.
summary
To sum up, the success rate of older IVF infants is affected by many factors. Age is an important factor. The older the female, the lower the success rate. However, choosing a hospital with rich experience can improve the success rate. In addition, the physical condition of the couple will also affect the success rate of IVF.
Therefore, for elderly couples, they should actively choose the appropriate hospital for treatment, and conduct a comprehensive physical examination before treatment. At the same time, in the process of treatment, we should also actively cooperate with the guidance of doctors to maintain physical and mental health and improve the success rate of IVF.
