What are the new regulations on test tube babies for ultra elderly mothers?
Ultra old puerpera refer to women over 35 years old. With the help of modern medicine, more and more ultra old puerpera choose IVF to realize their reproductive dreams. However, with the increasingly serious problem of social aging, the problem of IVF for ultra elderly mothers has also caused a series of concerns and disputes. In order to maintain the health of ultra elderly mothers and infants, relevant departments have made new regulations on IVF.
1. Age limit
According to the new regulations, the age limit for ultra elderly mothers will be relaxed. In the past, women over 40 years old were not allowed to have IVF, while according to the new rules, women between 40 and 45 years old can apply for IVF. This regulation was issued to provide more over aged mothers with birth opportunities, but it also requires hospitals to conduct a more rigorous assessment of their physical conditions when performing such operations.
In order to ensure that the maternal health can withstand the risk of IVF surgery, hospitals usually require the maternal to undergo a series of physical examinations, including ECG, blood routine, ultrasound, etc. Only in good health, the hospital will give the pregnant woman the qualification for IVF operation.
2. Infant health risk warning
The health risk of IVF will also increase due to the relatively poor physical condition of the ultra elderly mothers. According to the new regulations, the hospital must explain the possible risks to the pregnant women in detail and ask them to sign the informed consent form before carrying out the IVF operation. At the same time, the hospital also needs to carry out more rigorous screening of IVF to ensure that the health of embryos meets the requirements of fertility.
In addition, the new regulations also require hospitals to conduct long-term monitoring of the health of IVF babies. Doctors will provide corresponding guidance and suggestions, pay attention to the growth and development of infants, and timely find and solve possible problems.
3. Psychological guidance and family support
IVF is a major decision for ultra old mothers, which will bring great pressure and anxiety. In order to help mothers better cope with these problems, the new regulations require hospitals to provide psychological guidance and family support for ultra elderly mothers. Under the guidance of professional psychological consultants, pregnant women can talk about their inner anxiety and worry, and get professional response and support.
In addition, family support is also very important. The hospital encourages the spouses and family members of pregnant women to participate in the whole IVF process and face difficulties and challenges together.
4. Comprehensive medical management
In order to standardize the operation process of IVF, the new regulations require hospitals to establish a comprehensive medical management mechanism. The hospital should set up an IVF expert team, organize expert consultation on a regular basis, and conduct a comprehensive assessment of the maternal health to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the operation.
The hospital also needs to establish a test tube baby database to record the operation of each maternal and the development of the baby, so as to provide reference and basis for subsequent medical work. At the same time, hospitals should also train and assess doctors to improve their professional level and operational skills.
Summary
The new regulations on IVF for ultra old mothers mainly include age limit, infant health risk warning, psychological counseling and family support, and comprehensive medical management. These regulations are designed to ensure the health and safety of ultra elderly mothers and infants, and provide them with a secure reproductive environment and scientific medical services.
