Examination required for 40 year old IVF infants
IVF technology is a way to help infertile couples achieve their reproductive aspirations. For 40 year old couples, as the growth of age will affect the quality and quantity of female eggs, a series of tests should be carried out before IVF to ensure the success rate and health.
1. Physical examination of women
Women need to undergo a comprehensive physical examination to ensure that their physical condition is suitable for IVF technology. The examination items include blood routine, blood type, liver function, kidney function and other basic examinations, as well as breast, uterus, ovary and other related organs. Through these examinations, we can understand the health status of women and exclude the influence of potential disease factors on IVF.
In addition, women also need follicle monitoring and ovulation observation. These tests are to determine the number and quality of follicles to determine the best time for fertilization. In addition, women also need to undergo hysteroscopy to understand the condition of the endometrium and ensure that they have a suitable environment for embryo implantation.
2. Male semen analysis
Male semen analysis is an important indicator to determine male fertility. The 40 year old male will have reduced sperm number and vitality due to the decline of reproductive function. Therefore, men need to conduct semen analysis to understand the quantity, quality and vitality of sperm. If problems are found, corresponding auxiliary measures can be taken according to the specific situation to improve the quality and quantity of sperm.
3. Genetic testing
40 year old couples need genetic testing before IVF. Age will increase the risk of chromosomal abnormalities, such as Down syndrome, Edwards syndrome, etc. Through genetic gene testing, it can predict whether a child carries the risk of a certain genetic disease and avoid unnecessary health problems for the child.
In addition, genetic testing can also help couples understand their own genetic situation and judge whether there are some genetic diseases or susceptible genes. According to the results, couples can take corresponding measures, such as eliminating genetic abnormalities through embryo selection, or selecting appropriate treatment programs to reduce the risk.
4. Psychological preparation
The process of IVF is a physical and mental test for couples, so psychological preparation is needed. Especially for 40 year old couples, they may experience some psychological pressure and anxiety due to the growth of age.
Couples can seek the help of a psychologist to understand and deal with their emotional problems. In addition, more support and help can also be obtained by attending lectures on IVF related knowledge and communicating with other couples who experience similar situations.
