What is the success probability of IVF at the age of 40?
Test tube baby technology is an important method to help infertile couples achieve their reproductive aspirations. However, with the growth of age, women's fertility gradually declined, and the success rate of using IVF technology for women over 40 years old also faced certain challenges. This article will elaborate on the success probability of 40 year old IVF from the aspects of age factor, physical condition, hospital selection and auxiliary technology.
1. Age factor
Female age is one of the important factors affecting the success rate of IVF. With the growth of age, the quality and quantity of female eggs will gradually decline, leading to the reduction of fertility. According to statistical data, the pregnancy rate of women under 40 years old is about 20% on average every month, while that of women over 40 years old is only about 10%. This means that the success probability of IVF for women over 40 years old is relatively low.
However, even though they are older, there are still some women over 40 who can successfully conceive and give birth. This mainly depends on individual differences and individual physical condition.
2. Physical condition
The physical condition of women also has a greater impact on the success probability of IVF. In addition to age, the success rate of IVF will also decline for women with some chronic diseases or poor health. For example, the success rate of IVF for women with gynecological diseases such as polycystic ovary syndrome and endometriosis will be affected to some extent.
In addition, women's physical conditions and living habits will also affect the success probability of IVF. Maintaining good living habits, such as a balanced diet, proper exercise, and reasonable avoidance of pressure, will help improve the success rate of IVF.
3. Hospital selection
Choosing the right hospital and professional doctors is one of the key factors for the success of IVF. When selecting hospitals, we can refer to the hospital's technical strength, equipment level, professionalism of the doctor team and other factors. In China, some well-known hospitals, such as Peking Union Medical College Hospital and Fudan University Affiliated Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital, have strong scientific research strength and rich clinical experience. They have rich experience in IVF operation for women over 40 years old, with a relatively high success rate.
At the same time, when choosing a hospital, we should also consider the rate of the hospital and customer evaluation, understand the experience and success rate of other patients, so as to make more intelligent decisions.
4. Auxiliary technology
In addition to the IVF technology itself, there are some auxiliary technologies that can improve the success probability of IVF for women over 40 years old.
First, for women with poor ovarian function, ovulation promoting drugs can be used to stimulate the development of follicles and improve the quantity and quality of eggs.
Secondly, preimplantation genetic diagnosis technology can be used to screen whether embryos have chromosome abnormalities, so as to select good embryos for implantation and improve the success rate of IVF.
Finally, IVF technology can also improve the success probability of IVF for women over 40 years old. This technology can improve the success rate of fertilization by directly injecting sperm into the egg, bypassing the process of sperm naturally penetrating the egg.
Summary
In conclusion, the success probability of IVF for women over 40 years old is relatively low. Age, physical condition, hospital selection and auxiliary technology all affect the success rate of IVF. Choosing appropriate hospitals and adopting assistive technology can improve the success probability of IVF for women over 40 years old. However, the situation of each individual is different. It is recommended that couples consult professional doctors in detail before IVF, understand their own actual situation, and develop personalized treatment plans according to the doctor's suggestions.
