Whether the elderly puerpera are suitable for assisted reproductive technology
With the development of society and the gradual increase of people's requirements for childbearing age, more and more elderly women hope to realize their childbearing aspirations through assisted reproductive technology. However, whether it is suitable to accept assisted reproductive technology requires comprehensive consideration of various factors.
Assessment of physical condition
Due to the growth of age, the physical function of elderly mothers has declined to some extent. Before receiving assisted reproductive technology, doctors need to conduct a comprehensive assessment of the body, including the functions of the cardiovascular system, endocrine system and reproductive organs. If you are in poor physical condition, you may need to take some measures to improve your physical condition, such as adjusting medication, exercising, etc.
Before in vitro fertilization (IVF) and other assisted reproductive technologies, women need to inject ovulation promoting drugs to promote ovarian development and collect eggs. This process may bring some risks to the elderly women who are weak. Therefore, before deciding whether to accept assisted reproductive technology, doctors need to comprehensively consider the physical conditions of elderly mothers to ensure that they can withstand this process.
Evaluation of success rate
The success rate of elderly women receiving assisted reproductive technology is affected by many factors, among which the most critical factor is the quality of eggs. With the growth of age, the quality of women's eggs gradually declined, leading to increased difficulty in pregnancy. According to statistics, the probability of successful IVF for women over 40 years old is only about 15%, while that for women under 35 years old can reach 30% to 40%.
In addition to the quality of eggs, the elderly women may also face other problems during the fertilization process, such as weakened implantation ability of fertilized eggs, increased abortion rate, etc. Therefore, for older women, the success rate may be low. However, with the progress of medical technology, the emergence of some new assisted reproductive technologies, such as gene screening after egg extraction, can improve the pregnancy success rate of elderly women.
Psychological and economic considerations
Accepting assisted reproductive technology for elderly women, not only needs to bear certain physical pain and risk, but also needs to pay considerable economic costs. For example, the cost of IVF is relatively high. In addition to drug costs and surgery costs, the cost of a treatment may exceed tens of thousands of yuan. Moreover, due to the low success rate of the elderly women, they may need to try many times, which further increases the economic pressure.
In addition, psychological pressure can not be ignored for elderly mothers. Due to the restrictions of childbearing age and the expectations of people around, the elderly mothers may face more anxiety and tension. Therefore, before deciding whether to accept assisted reproductive technology, it is necessary to assess the psychological state to ensure that the elderly women have sufficient psychological preparation.
Selection of medical team
The ability and experience of the medical team should also be considered to determine whether the elderly women are suitable for assisted reproductive technology. Assisted reproductive technology needs professional medical teams, who should have rich clinical experience and advanced technical equipment. Only by choosing formal and professional hospitals and doctors can we ensure that the elderly mothers receive the best medical services in the process of receiving assisted reproductive technology.
summary
Older women can accept assisted reproductive technology, but they need to evaluate their physical condition, success rate, psychological and economic considerations, and the choice of the medical team. The egg quality and pregnancy success rate of elderly women are relatively low, so careful consideration should be given to the selection of assisted reproductive technology. At the same time, it is also very important to choose a formal and professional medical team. It is hoped that scientific evaluation and individualized treatment can help more elderly women realize their dreams of childbirth.
