Success rate of elderly childbearing
With the development of society, many women decide to have children only after their career and personal development are stable, thus delaying the childbearing age. However, the elderly will face some physiological risks and difficulties. So, how high is the success rate of elderly childbearing?
First, with the growth of age, women's fertility will gradually decline. Female eggs are formed at birth, and the number is fixed. With the growth of age, the quality and quantity of eggs will gradually decrease. Therefore, the success rate of elderly childbearing is relatively low.
Secondly, older women may face more pregnancy complications, such as premature delivery, pregnancy induced hypertension, etc. Age also increases the risk of fetal development, such as the probability of Down syndrome. These factors will reduce the fertility success rate of elderly women.
However, the elderly childbearing is not totally hopeless. The development of modern medicine has provided many assisted reproductive technologies for elderly women, which can increase their fertility success rate.
Assisted reproductive technology
1. In vitro fertilization (IVF): This is one of the most common assisted reproductive technologies. It increases the possibility of pregnancy by putting the fertilized egg into the female uterus. IVF technology can help elderly women solve problems such as ovarian function decline and insufficient ovarian reserve.
2. Egg or embryo freezing: time is very precious for elderly women. They can save the best eggs or embryos by freezing eggs or embryos, and then transfer them at a suitable time to improve the success rate.
3. Receptor eggs: For the elderly women with ovarian function decline, using receptor eggs for surrogacy is also an option. This technique enables a woman to conceive by combining another woman's egg with a man's sperm and then transplanting it into the uterus of an elderly woman.
4. PGD screening: The embryos of elderly women often have a high risk of chromosomal abnormalities. PGD (preimplantation genetic diagnosis) can screen embryos for genes, screen out embryos with low chromosome abnormalities, and transfer them to improve the success rate.
Success rate related factors
In addition to assisted reproductive technology, there are other factors that can also affect the fertility success rate of elderly women.
1. Health status: If the elderly women are healthy and free from other serious diseases, their fertility success rate will be relatively high.
2. Living habits: Whether the elderly women maintain good eating habits, reasonable exercise and avoid smoking, drinking and other bad habits will also affect the fertility success rate.
3. Hospital selection: choosing a formal and well-equipped professional fertility hospital is also the key to improving the success rate. For example, XX hospital (fictional) has first-class medical equipment and professional team, rich experience in assisted reproductive technology, and can provide high-quality medical services for elderly women.
Summary
The success rate of elderly childbearing is relatively low, which is related to age growth and physiological risks. However, the development of modern medicine has provided many assisted reproductive technologies for elderly women, such as in vitro fertilization, frozen eggs or embryos, recipient eggs, PGD screening, etc., which can improve the fertility success rate. In addition, factors such as health status, living habits and hospital choice will also affect the fertility success rate of elderly women. Therefore, if older women are willing to have children, they can try appropriate assisted reproductive technology, pay attention to personal health management, choose professional hospitals, and increase the possibility of successful childbirth.
