How to assess the success rate and risk of elderly childbearing?
With the development of society and the improvement of living standards, more and more women choose to postpone childbearing, and the elderly childbearing has become a common phenomenon. However, there are different risks and success rates between elder childbearing and general childbearing. Therefore, how to assess the success rate and risk of childbearing at an advanced age is crucial for this group of women. This article will elaborate from four aspects.
1. Relationship between age and success rate
Age is an important factor in the fertility success rate of the elderly. The function of female reproductive organs and ovaries will gradually decline with age, and the quality and quantity of eggs will also decrease, thus affecting the success rate of pregnancy and embryonic development. According to actual data statistics, the success rate of women under 35 years old is higher than that of women over 35 years old. Especially for women over 40, the success rate has further declined. Therefore, age is an important factor to consider when assessing the success rate of elderly childbearing.
On the one hand, for older women, early blood examination and ovarian function assessment are recommended to determine fertility potential and egg quality. On the other hand, for older women, assisted reproductive technologies such as IVF can improve the success rate.
2. Correlation with basic health status
In addition to age, the basic health status of elderly women also affects the fertility success rate. Some women may have some chronic diseases, such as hypertension, diabetes, and other health problems such as obesity and depression, which may have adverse effects on pregnancy and embryonic development. When assessing the success rate of elderly childbearing, doctors usually require women to undergo a series of basic health examinations to ensure that their physical conditions are suitable for pregnancy.
In addition, if the elderly women need assisted reproductive technology to achieve pregnancy, such as test tube babies, doctors will also assess their uterus and ovary health to ensure that they are suitable for these treatments.
3. Difference in success rate of different hospitals
The success rate of elderly childbearing is also affected by the level of hospital technology. There may be differences in professional level and equipment renewal between different hospitals, which will affect the operation and success rate of assisted reproductive technology. Therefore, when choosing hospitals to give birth to the elderly, women need to carefully investigate and choose to find professional medical teams and facilities to improve the success rate.
Information about the choice of hospitals can be obtained by consulting family doctors, friends or consulting relevant materials. You can also refer to some well-known hospitals, such as Peking Union Medical College Hospital, Ruijin Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine, which have high reputation and professional level.
4. Influence of psychology and lifestyle
Finally, the psychology and lifestyle of older women may also affect the fertility success rate. Pregnancy is a period of stress and change. Some women may feel anxious, worried or other negative emotions, which may affect pregnancy and embryonic development.
In order to cope with psychological pressure, elderly women can seek psychological counseling or participate in relevant pre pregnancy counselling courses. In addition, a good lifestyle, such as healthy diet, moderate exercise, and adequate sleep, can also help improve the healthy success rate of childbirth.
summary
Assessing the success rate and risk of elderly childbearing is a complex task, which requires comprehensive consideration of age, basic health status, hospital selection and psychological factors. By understanding these factors and conducting a comprehensive assessment under the guidance of professional doctors, women can better understand their fertility potential and how to improve the success rate of pregnancy and childbirth.
