How old is a man? Are there age requirements for male fertility?
With the development of social economy and the improvement of people's living standards, more and more couples are reluctant to have children until they are over 40. At this time, a key question came: How old is a man to count the number of old children? Are there age requirements for male fertility? The following is a detailed description of physiology, psychology, medicine and society.
Physiological aspects
Physiologically, the function of male reproductive organs will gradually decline with age, and the quality and quantity of sperm will also decline. According to expert research, male fertility begins to decline after the age of 30, and rapidly declines after the age of 40. This means that for men, if they are over 40, they will be considered as having a child at an advanced age.
On the one hand, with the growth of age, the number and quality of male sperm will decrease, including abnormal morphology and poor vitality. On the other hand, men's libido will also weaken with the growth of age, and sexual function will have problems. This will affect the chance of pregnancy.
Therefore, physiologically speaking, how old a man is, how old he is and how old he is to give birth mainly depends on the decline of sperm quality and quantity.
Psychological aspects
Psychologically, men may face a series of pressure and confusion in the process of age growth, especially in terms of children's education and economic pressure. With the growth of age, many men may feel that they have been unable to assume the responsibility of their father, or worry that they cannot provide sufficient material conditions and energy support for their children. This will lead them to hold a wait-and-see attitude towards fertility issues.
In addition, the growth of age will also bring about concerns about their own physical conditions, such as increased risk of disease, short time with children, etc. These psychological pressures may affect men's fertility desire and decision-making.
To sum up, how old a man is is not only a physiological problem, but also a psychological problem.
Medical aspects
In medicine, there is no fixed standard for the requirement of male reproductive age. Standards may vary from country to country and from hospital to hospital. Generally speaking, the medical profession generally believes that the risk of male fertility begins to increase after the age of 30, and the risk of fertility is greater after the age of 40, which may lead to an increase in the risk of children's disease and the probability of deformed children.
In order to ensure the health of the children, some hospitals will recommend that men should have prenatal examinations after the age of 35, including sperm quality and quantity examinations and common genetic diseases examinations. If the examination results are normal, the doctor will think that the man has the conditions for childbirth; If the test results are abnormal, the doctor may recommend men to use assisted reproductive technology or take other measures to reduce the risk.
Social aspects
There are different requirements for male childbearing age in society. Some people think that men can give birth at an advanced age when they are 40 years old, while others believe that they can give birth as long as they are healthy. Some social institutions also have different policies and regulations, for example, some countries may have restrictions on the fertility of older men.
In addition, the society's view of the male childbearing age is also changing. In the past, men's social status often had a lot to do with whether they had children, so many men would marry and have children at an earlier age. However, with the change of social concept, more and more people begin to attach importance to personal career and pursuit rather than getting married and having children early. This also makes the childbearing age of men gradually postponed.
Summary
To sum up, how old a man is is not only related to physiological, psychological, medical and social considerations. Physiologically, male fertility begins to decline after the age of 30, and rapidly declines after the age of 40. Psychologically, men may face pressure and confusion and hold a wait-and-see attitude towards fertility problems. In medicine, there is no fixed standard, and the standards of different hospitals and countries may be different. The requirements for male childbearing age vary from society to society. Therefore, how old a man is is not simply defined by an age figure, but should be comprehensively considered according to his physical condition, mental state and medical advice.
