How likely is IVF to succeed
IVF is a kind of artificial assisted reproductive technology that fertilizes the fertilized egg and sperm in vitro, and then transfers the fertilized egg to the female uterus for development. For some young couples, IVF has a higher probability of success. However, for older couples, especially those aged 60, the probability of IVF success will be relatively low. Next, I will elaborate on the probability of success in IVF at the age of 60 from the aspects of age, health status, medical technology, hospital experience, etc.
Age factor
Age is one of the main factors affecting the success rate of IVF. With the growth of age, the number and quality of female eggs will gradually decrease. By the age of 60, the number of female eggs has been very limited, and there are certain quality problems, which affect the ability to conceive. Therefore, in the case of older people, IVF has a lower probability of success.
In addition, the sperm quality of 60 year old men will also decline with the increase of age, which will have a certain impact on the ability to conceive. Therefore, 60 year old couples will face the problem of fertility decline in IVF, further reducing the probability of success.
health
Health is another key factor. At the age of 60, the functions of various systems of the body will decline to varying degrees, such as the cardiovascular system, endocrine system, etc., which will have a certain impact on the success rate of IVF. Poor health, such as hypertension, diabetes and other chronic diseases, will increase the risk of IVF operation and have a certain negative impact on the success rate of IVF.
In addition, the natural ovulation function of a 60 year old woman has also had problems, and the endometrium will also have certain changes, which may affect the implantation of fertilized eggs and the development of embryos. All of these physical health problems will reduce the success rate of IVF.
medical technology
Medical technology is an important guarantee for the success of IVF. With the progress of science and technology, the technology of IVF has become more mature. For young couples, the success rate has improved. However, for 60 year old couples, the limitations of medical technology are also obvious.
First, with the growth of age, there may be some adaptability problems for IVF assisted technologies such as superovulation, embryo culture, etc. Secondly, in view of the declining fertility of older couples, it may be necessary to use advanced auxiliary technologies such as selective screening of eggs or sperm, PGD/PGS screening, etc. However, the application of these technologies is risky and requires a high level of physical fitness, which may not be suitable for all 60 year old couples.
Hospital experience
Hospital experience will also affect the success rate of IVF. First class hospitals usually have rich experience in IVF implementation, and have a professional team that can provide personalized treatment programs and assistance for couples of different ages. At the age of 60, it is very important to choose a hospital with rich experience.
For example, Beijing Suburban Hospital is one of the hospitals with comprehensive experience in infertility diagnosis and treatment. They are equipped with advanced equipment, and have a professional doctor and nursing team. In the case of a 60 year old couple, the doctor will formulate a treatment plan according to the specific situation of the couple, and provide guidance and care throughout the process to maximize the success rate.
Summary
In conclusion, the probability of success in IVF at 60 years old is low. Age has a great influence on the success of IVF. Couples aged 60 have certain problems in fertility and fertility. Health status, limitations of medical technology, and hospital experience will also affect the success rate of IVF. Therefore, when considering IVF, couples aged 60 need to consider various factors comprehensively and make decisions under the guidance of professional hospitals.
