Background Overview
Test tube baby technology is an important achievement of modern reproductive medicine, which provides many infertile couples with the opportunity to realize their dreams. However, according to statistics, in recent years, the proportion of women over 45 years old participating in IVF has gradually increased. Due to the growth of age, women in this age group face some special problems and risks during IVF. Therefore, if 45 year old women decide to achieve pregnancy through IVF, they need to pay attention to the following issues.
Physical condition assessment
First, a 45 year old woman should receive a comprehensive physical condition assessment before considering IVF. These assessments should be completed by professional doctors to understand their reproductive organ status, ovarian function, uterine condition and hormone levels. These evaluation results will have an important impact on the treatment plan and success rate of IVF.
Secondly, 45 year old women are often accompanied by more physical problems, such as hypertension, heart disease, diabetes, etc. These health problems will have an impact on the process and results of IVF. Therefore, these women need to have relevant physical examination before IVF to ensure that their physical condition is suitable for IVF.
Finally, 45 year old women need to know clearly whether their physical and physiological conditions are suitable for hormone therapy and egg collection. After experiencing a series of hormone therapy, they may face more side effects and risks. Therefore, they should fully communicate with doctors to assess the degree of ovarian response and ensure whether the body can withstand the pressure of hormone treatment and egg collection.
Hospital selection
When choosing a hospital for IVF surgery, 45 year old women need to pay special attention to the reputation and experience of the hospital. These women face greater risks and difficulties because of the physiological characteristics brought about by aging. Professional and experienced hospitals will have better solutions and more effective technical means to improve the success rate of surgery.
In addition, the hospital equipment and professional medical team are also important factors for selection. 45 year old women should choose hospitals equipped with advanced equipment and professional teams to ensure the safety and success of surgery.
Hospitals with special needs for 45 year old women, such as a well-known IVF center, provide first-class treatment technology and professional medical team, which is worth considering.
Psychological preparation
IVF surgery is a long and arduous process for 45 year old women, which requires a lot of time, money and energy. Therefore, these women need to be mentally prepared to maintain a positive attitude and patience.
In the whole process, 45 year old women may face the possibility of failure, and may need to try many times to get pregnant successfully. Therefore, they need to learn to accept failure and persist in pursuing their dreams. At the same time, they also need to seek the support of family and friends to reduce psychological pressure and maintain a good psychological state.
In addition, 45 year old women also need to do a good job in planning their baby's future, including time arrangement, economic budget, etc. The age of the mother will also have a certain impact on the health and education of the child, so it is necessary to make various preparations for the child's future in advance.
Genetic counseling and risk assessment
Finally, for 45 year old women, due to the growth of age, IVF may face higher genetic risk. Therefore, they need genetic counseling and risk assessment under the guidance of doctors.
Genetic counseling can assess the risk of disease by detecting family history, genetic disease history, etc., and provide personalized counseling and advice. In addition, 45 year old women can also consider embryonic genetic screening to avoid embryo transfer with serious genetic diseases and improve the success rate of embryo implantation.
Through genetic counseling and risk assessment, 45 year old women can better understand their children's genetic status and future health status, and provide more comprehensive protection for their children's future health.
Summary
For a 45 year old woman, IVF is a way to realize her fertility desire. However, due to the growth of age, women in this age group need to pay special attention to physical condition assessment, hospital selection, psychological preparation and genetic counseling. Understanding and paying attention to these problems will help to improve the success rate of IVF and ensure the health of mothers and infants.
