1. Impact of childbearing age
Female fertility is closely related to age. With the growth of age, women's ovarian function will gradually decline, and the quality of eggs will also decline, leading to difficulties in pregnancy and reduced embryo implantation rate. According to statistics, 30-year-old women have 20-25% chance of getting pregnant every month, but with the growth of age, 40 year old women have only about 5% chance of getting pregnant every month.
Because fertility is age related, women aged 30 can try to conceive naturally, but if they fail to conceive for a long time, assistive technology becomes particularly important.
In China, many large cities have special reproductive hospitals, such as Shanghai Xinhua Hospital Reproductive Center, Beijing Maternity Hospital Reproductive Medicine Center, etc. These hospitals provide a series of assisted reproductive technologies.
2. Types of assisted reproductive technology
Assisted reproductive technology includes in vitro fertilization embryo transfer (IVF-ET), assisted anti fertility retrouterine tubal exploration (ART), intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), etc.
IVF-ET is a widely used auxiliary technology, which combines female eggs with male sperm in vitro to form a fertilized embryo, and then transfers the embryo to the female uterus for development.
ART is mainly used in the case of obstructed fallopian tubes, polycystic ovary syndrome, etc., to help eggs and sperm combine in the body and improve the chance of pregnancy.
ICSI is used to improve the success rate of pregnancy by injecting a single sperm directly into the egg when the quality of male semen is low and the number of sperm is insufficient.
3. Advantages of assisted reproductive technology
The main advantage of assisted reproductive technology is that it can help couples with fertility difficulties to achieve their fertility aspirations.
For 30 year old women, if they fail to conceive naturally for a long time, assistive technology can provide a higher success rate and shorten the pregnancy time. At the same time, assisted technology can also remove some fertility obstacles, such as tubal obstruction, difficulty in embryo implantation, etc.
In addition, assisted reproductive technology can also provide services such as gene screening and embryo sex selection, so that couples can have more control and ensure the health of children and the integrity of the family.
4. Risks and considerations of assisted reproductive technology
Although assisted reproductive technology has obvious advantages, it also has certain risks and considerations.
On the one hand, assistive technology may lead to the risk of multiple pregnancy. Since assistive technology usually transplants multiple embryos at the same time, it may increase the probability of twin and triplet pregnancy and increase the risk of maternal and infant health.
On the other hand, the cost of assistive technology is high, and the price of different technologies and treatment courses is different, so it is necessary to fully evaluate the economic situation between couples.
In addition, although assistive technology provides a greater chance of pregnancy, it cannot guarantee 100% success. Before couples decide to accept assistive technology, they need to understand the possible results and risks, and fully communicate and discuss with doctors.
summary
For 30 year old women, the need for assisted technology in childbirth is related to multiple factors. The influence of reproductive age makes assisted reproductive technology a possible choice. Different assistive technologies provide different programs that can help couples improve their chances of pregnancy and achieve the desired fertility results. However, assistive technology also has certain risks and considerations. Couples need to weigh the advantages and disadvantages, make decisions together with doctors, and finally achieve the goal of healthy and safe reproduction.
