Problems of IVF
With the development of IVF technology, many older couples still have the opportunity to realize their reproductive dreams. However, for 42 year old women, the opportunities brought by IVF are accompanied by some problems and risks. This article will elaborate on the problems that 42 year old IVF should pay attention to from the aspects of pregnant women's health, embryo quality, hospital selection and subsequent infant health care.
1. Health of pregnant women
Women aged 42 have a relatively high risk of pregnancy, so when considering IVF, the health status of pregnant women is crucial. First, ensure that pregnant women have no basic diseases, such as hypertension and diabetes, which will increase the risk of complications during pregnancy. Secondly, pregnant women should receive comprehensive physical examination, including evaluation of heart function, liver and kidney function, to ensure that their bodies can withstand the physiological and psychological changes during pregnancy.
In addition, pregnancy in a 42 year old woman may increase the risk of fetal chromosomal abnormalities. Therefore, before IVF, pregnant women should receive genetic counseling and relevant examinations to assess the chromosome normality of the embryo. This helps to reduce the risk of embryo implantation failure and abortion, while ensuring the health of the baby.
Finally, 42 year old pregnant women need to pay more attention to their body changes during pregnancy. Regular examination during pregnancy, supplementary nutrition according to the doctor's advice, and proper exercise are all important measures to ensure the health of pregnant women.
2. Embryo quality
42 year old women may have some problems in ovarian function and egg quality, which will directly affect the success rate of IVF. Therefore, attention should be paid to the quality of embryos when selecting eggs. First, the doctor will conduct a detailed assessment of ovarian function to ensure normal ovarian function. Secondly, doctors may recommend multiple IVF cycles to increase the success rate. Finally, doctors will select the best embryo according to the quality of eggs to improve the success rate of IVF.
In addition, 42 year old women face a higher risk of chromosomal abnormalities because of their older age. To reduce the risk of chromosomal abnormalities, doctors may recommend embryo gene detection (PGD) or latent chromosomal abnormality screening (CCS). These detection methods can help eliminate abnormal embryos and improve the birth rate and health of infants.
3. Hospital selection
It is very important for a 42 year old couple to choose the right hospital. First of all, we need to choose a special IVF hospital with professional knowledge and experience. This can ensure that medical staff understand the whole process of IVF and can provide the best medical service.
Secondly, the equipment and technical level of the hospital are also important considerations for selection. Modern IVF technology is constantly updated. Hospitals with advanced technical equipment and operating procedures can provide better services and improve the success rate of IVF.
In addition, choosing a hospital close to home is also one of the factors considered. IVF babies need to go back and forth to the hospital for inspection and treatment many times. Choosing a nearby hospital can reduce fatigue and inconvenience of travel.
4. Follow up baby care
After the success of 42 year old IVF, couples also need to pay attention to the health care of follow-up infants. First of all, the newborn needs to receive a comprehensive physical examination and various screening to ensure the health of the baby. Regular physical examination in hospital, timely vaccination, and adequate nutrition intake are all important measures to ensure the healthy growth of infants.
Secondly, 42 year old mothers may encounter some difficulties in breast-feeding. Under the guidance of doctors, choose appropriate feeding methods to ensure that breastfeeding is scientific and adequate, and can provide adequate nutrition and antibodies for infants.
Finally, couples need to pay attention to the development and behavior of infants and carry out early intervention in a timely manner. If necessary, consult a professional doctor in time to pay attention to the healthy growth of the baby at any time.
summary
42 year old IVF has many problems to pay attention to. Every aspect, from maternal health, embryo quality, hospital selection to follow-up infant health care, requires the attention and efforts of couples. In the whole process, the couple should actively follow up the guidance of the doctor to ensure that they and the baby can successfully go through the process of IVF and achieve the birth of a healthy baby.
