Does IVF hospital have age requirements?
The IVF Hospital is a medical institution that helps couples who cannot conceive naturally to achieve their reproductive aspirations. However, due to physiological and psychological reasons, age often becomes one of the key factors for IVF. The following details the requirements of IVF hospitals on age from various aspects.
1. Female age requirements
Female age is one of the important factors affecting the success rate of IVF. The older the woman is, the lower the quality and quantity of her eggs will be, which will lead to difficulties in pregnancy. Most IVF hospitals will limit the age of women to some extent. Generally speaking, the success rate of IVF for women before the age of 35 is higher, but with the growth of age, the success rate gradually decreases. Therefore, many hospitals limit the age of women to 35 years old.
In addition, some IVF hospitals will further refine the age requirements and divide women into different age groups. For example, some hospitals will restrict women aged 35-40 to use their own eggs for IVF, while women over 40 need to use the method. This is because with the growth of age, the number and quality of eggs carried by women are greatly reduced, and the use method can improve the success rate of pregnancy.
2. Male age requirements
Although the influence of male age on IVF success rate is relatively small, some hospitals still have certain requirements for male age. Generally speaking, the success rate of IVF for men before the age of 50 is high. However, unlike women, the fertility potential of men declines slowly in the process of age growth, so the age limit is relatively loose.
In addition, the reproductive health of men will also affect the results of IVF. Some hospitals may require men to conduct semen analysis to evaluate the quality and quantity of sperm, so as to improve the probability of successful pregnancy.
3. Requirements for physical health
IVF hospitals have certain requirements for patients' health. This is because the health status is directly related to the success rate of IVF and the safety of patients.
Generally speaking, women need to have a comprehensive physical examination, including excluding any gynecological diseases, eliminating the risk of genetic diseases, and evaluating the health of the uterus and ovary. For men, some hospitals may require semen analysis and male hormone tests to determine whether their reproductive system is normal.
4. Requirements for mental health
The IVF process is a journey with greater psychological pressure for couples. Therefore, some IVF hospitals will evaluate the psychological health of couples and provide psychological counseling services. This is to ensure that patients have good psychological quality to face various difficulties and challenges in the process of IVF.
In conclusion, IVF hospitals have certain requirements for age. Female age is the most important limiting factor. Generally, women under 35 have a higher success rate. The age limit for men is relatively loose, but the fertility potential and sperm quality of men will also be affected by age. In addition, the patient's physical and mental health are also factors considered by IVF hospitals.
