Postmenopausal IVF mode
Menopause means that the ovarian function of women gradually stops, and the menopause lasts for more than one year. For those postmenopausal women who want to have children, IVF can be an effective way of assisted reproduction. The development of IVF technology provides hope for postmenopausal women. The following is a detailed introduction to the test tube babies that can be tried after menopause from different aspects.
Egg donation
For postmenopausal women whose ovarian function has completely lost, egg donation is a feasible option. Egg donation refers to taking eggs from young and fertile women and implanting them into the uterus of postmenopausal women after in vitro fertilization. In this way, menopausal women can have and raise their own children.
In this process, we need to find suitable egg donors and professional medical institutions. At present, many large tertiary hospitals in China have fertility centers, which are specially responsible for the implementation of IVF technology. Women can consult relevant information in these hospitals and conduct appropriate examinations to ensure that their physical conditions are suitable for egg donation.
Frozen autologous egg
Freezing autologous eggs is another option for postmenopausal women who want to have children. Before menopause, women can choose to freeze their eggs in advance. When they decide to try IVF after menopause, they can use their frozen eggs for IVF. The advantage of this method is that women can use their own eggs to have children, avoiding dependence on donors.
This technique needs to be performed before menopause, so it is necessary to consult a doctor in advance and carry out relevant examinations. Some well-known hospitals, such as Peking Union Medical College Hospital and Ruijin Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine, have set up reproductive medicine centers to provide the service of freezing autologous eggs.
It refers to the way in which the embryo is implanted into the mother's uterus and the mother becomes pregnant and gives birth. For postmenopausal women whose own uterine function is also affected, it is a choice. Embryos can be obtained through artificial fertilization or in vitro fertilization, and then implanted into the mother's uterus.
It needs legal means, so it needs to be carried out under the guidance of professional institutions. Reproductive medical centers in many places in China, such as the Reproductive Medical Center of the General Hospital of Guangzhou Military Region and the Reproductive Medical Center of Wuhan Tongji Hospital, provide services.
embryo transfer
For some women who have retained the function of the uterus but whose ovarian function has stopped, embryo transfer is a feasible option. After menopause, women can obtain embryos through artificial fertilization or in vitro fertilization, and then implant the embryos into their own uterus to achieve pregnancy.
Embryo transfer needs to be carried out at the right time and requires precise operation by doctors. In China, well-known hospitals such as the Third Hospital of Peking University and the Affiliated Pediatric Hospital of Fudan University all have reproductive medicine specialties, which can provide embryo transfer services for postmenopausal women.
Summary
Postmenopausal women who want to have children can try a variety of IVF methods, such as egg donation, frozen autologous eggs, and embryo transfer. Egg donation allows them to use donor eggs for in vitro fertilization. Freezing autologous eggs can preserve their own eggs and then use them after menopause. You can choose to implant the embryo into the mother's uterus, and the mother will be pregnant and give birth. Embryo transfer is the implantation of embryos into their own uterus to achieve pregnancy. Different methods are applicable to different menopause situations. Women can consult doctors in professional hospitals and make choices according to their own conditions.
