Treatment of male elderly childbearing
With the development of society and the change of people's ideas, the demand for older men to have children is gradually increasing. Although male fertility is limited by age, the development of modern medicine has provided a variety of treatments to solve the problem of elderly male fertility. This article will elaborate from four aspects: lifestyle change, drug treatment, assisted reproductive technology and sperm extraction technology.
Lifestyle change
First of all, one of the treatment methods for male elderly childbearing is to change the bad lifestyle habits. Research shows that the improvement of life style of older men can significantly improve their fertility. For example, it is very important to stop smoking and limit alcohol consumption, maintain good eating habits and moderate exercise.
Secondly, the treatment of male elderly childbearing also includes maintaining reasonable weight and reducing stress. Obesity and excessive pressure are common factors affecting male fertility. By reasonably controlling weight and finding ways to relax, such as moderate leisure activities and learning some stress relief skills, fertility can be effectively improved.
In addition, improving sleep quality is also very critical. Reasonable rest and sufficient sleep time can improve male sexual function and fertility.
medication
Drug therapy is another common method of male fertility at an advanced age. Drug treatment can improve male sexual function and fertility. The commonly used drug treatment methods include oral medicine and injection treatment.
Oral drugs mainly include hormone replacement therapy and assisted reproductive drugs. Hormone replacement therapy can regulate male hormone levels and improve fertility. Assisted fertility drugs can promote sperm production and improve sperm quality.
Injection therapy mainly refers to stimulating the testes to produce more sperm by injecting hormones or other drugs, improving the quantity and quality of sperm, thus increasing fertility.
Assisted reproductive technology
When life style changes and drug treatment fails, assisted reproductive technology can be used for the elderly male reproduction. Assisted reproductive technology has many forms, such as test tube baby, artificial insemination, egg or sperm transplantation, etc.
Test tube baby is a common assisted reproductive technology, which is suitable for men with severe sperm abnormalities or infertility. This technology achieves the goal of reproduction by combining eggs and sperm in the laboratory and then implanting them into the mother.
Artificial insemination means that after special treatment of semen, sperm is directly injected into the uterus or ovary of women to increase the probability of pregnancy. This method is suitable for the condition that the number of sperm in male semen is small or the quality is poor.
Egg or sperm transplantation is to implant the donor's egg or sperm into the male or female body to achieve the purpose of fertility. This method can solve the problem of male infertility or female egg quality.
Sperm extraction technology
Sperm extraction technology is also a common method for the treatment of elderly male fertility. Sperm extraction technology is mainly applicable to the situation that the sperm reserve is reduced or there is no sperm in the semen.
Common sperm extraction techniques include seminal plasma collection, spermatic cord sperm extraction and testicular sperm extraction. These technologies directly extract sperm from men's bodies through surgical or non-surgical methods, and then use them in assisted reproductive technology to achieve reproductive purposes.
Summary
The treatment methods of male elderly fertility include lifestyle change, drug treatment, assisted reproductive technology and sperm extraction technology. Changes in lifestyle and medication can improve male fertility. When these methods are ineffective, assisted reproductive technology and sperm extraction technology can be considered. Through these treatment methods, the chances of men's elderly childbearing can be significantly improved.
