Angel test tube baby: Is it suitable for elderly mothers?
With the aging of the population, more and more women choose to have children later. However, the elderly women are facing a series of problems due to the decline of reproductive capacity. In this case, Angel IVF technology, as an assisted reproductive technology, is widely used to solve the reproductive problems of elderly mothers. However, is it suitable for older mothers to use Angel IVF technology? This article will elaborate from four aspects: physiological condition, success rate, physical risk and psychological pressure.
1. Physiological condition
Older women are faced with problems such as decreased reproductive capacity and egg quality, which will affect the success rate of Angel IVF. First of all, the decline in egg quality will lead to the decline in the quality of fertilized eggs, reducing the opportunities for embryo implantation and development. Secondly, the aging of endometrium will also affect the implantation of embryos. Therefore, when selecting Angel IVF, the elderly mothers need to be evaluated under the guidance of doctors to ensure that their physiological conditions are suitable for the application of this technology.
However, different hospitals may have different age limits for elderly mothers. Taking Peking Union Medical College Hospital as an example, they usually recommend women under the age of 35 to choose Angel IVF, because this can improve the success rate and reduce the risk of complications.
2. Success rate
The success rate of Angel IVF technology is mainly affected by the quality of fertilized eggs, endometrium and female age. According to statistical data, with the increase of women's age, the success rate of Angel IVF gradually declined. This is because the quality of eggs decreases with the increase of age, leading to the decrease of the quality of fertilized eggs.
A hospital with rich experience in Shanghai, such as Ruijin Hospital, reported that the success rate of Angel IVF for women under 35 years old was about 50%, while the success rate for women over 40 years old dropped to about 30%.
3. Physical risk
For elderly mothers, carrying out Angel IVF technology may face some physical risks. First, ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome is one of the common complications of this technique, which may lead to ovarian swelling, abdominal pain and other symptoms. Secondly, the risk of multiple pregnancy is also high, which may increase the health risks of pregnant women and fetuses. Therefore, before conducting Angel IVF technology, doctors will conduct a detailed assessment and understanding of the pregnant women to ensure safety.
4. Psychological pressure
Angel test tube baby technology is an important issue for elderly mothers, in addition to physical tests, psychological pressure is also an important issue. Long term treatment and waiting may bring anxiety, loss and frustration to the pregnant women. Therefore, communication and support between mothers and their families are very important. Some hospitals, such as Renji Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine, provide psychological counseling and support services to help mothers and their families cope with psychological problems during treatment.
To sum up, Angel IVF technology can be used as an option for elderly mothers, but physiological conditions, success rate, physical risks and psychological pressure need to be considered. The doctor will assess the situation of the pregnant women and provide appropriate advice and support. In the end, mothers need to make decisions under the guidance of doctors, weigh the advantages and disadvantages, and choose the most suitable way for themselves.
