Precautions for 60 year old women to choose IVF scheme
Test tube baby is a kind of assisted reproductive technology, which is an effective way to realize the fertility desire for many couples who cannot conceive naturally. However, for women aged 60, the success rate and risk will increase. Therefore, it is particularly important to choose a suitable IVF program. This article will elaborate from four aspects: age limit, physical health, professional doctors and laws and regulations.
1. Age limit
IVF has certain restrictions on the age of women, because with the growth of age, the egg quality will gradually decline, which may lead to difficulties in pregnancy and abnormal embryonic development. Generally, 60 year old women have entered menopause, and their ovarian function almost stops. Therefore, age limit is the primary consideration in selecting IVF scheme.
For 60 year old women, it is usually recommended to use donated eggs for IVF. This means that the eggs of young women are used, and after in vitro fertilization, the embryos are transferred to the uterus of a 60 year old woman. This way can improve the success rate of pregnancy and reduce the risk of fetal dysplasia.
However, the specific age limit will also change due to individual differences and doctors' opinions. It is necessary to select an experienced doctor to conduct a comprehensive examination and assessment to understand the individual's physical condition and fitness.
2. Good health
When choosing the IVF program, 60 year old women must consider their own health conditions. After all, pregnancy and childbirth are a burden on the body and may pose certain risks to health.
First, check the condition of the individual's uterus to ensure that it can accommodate and support the growth of the fetus. If the uterus is abnormal, the doctor may suggest that the fertility desire be realized through the uterus.
In addition, a comprehensive physical examination is required, including the function of the heart, kidney, liver and other organs. If there are serious chronic diseases, such as hypertension, diabetes, etc., we should weigh the advantages and disadvantages to determine whether it is suitable for IVF.
3. Professional doctors
It is very important to choose professional doctors and hospitals, because IVF is a complex technology, and involves hormone therapy, egg retrieval process, embryo culture and transplantation and other aspects.
First, doctors with rich experience and professional qualifications should be selected for consultation and treatment. They can make appropriate treatment plans according to their personal conditions, and adjust and monitor the treatment process in a timely manner.
Secondly, choose a regular medical institution for IVF. To understand their equipment and technical level, ask about the success rate and postoperative management and nursing. You can consult others' experience and opinions and choose a hospital with good reputation.
4. Laws and regulations
Finally, local laws and regulations need to be considered, especially the provisions on age limits and egg donation. Different regions and countries have different policies on IVF, so we need to understand and comply with local legal requirements.
Some countries may set the upper age limit and prohibit women over 60 years old from carrying out IVF; Some countries may restrict the source and use of donated eggs. Before choosing the IVF scheme, you must ensure that you comply with local laws and regulations.

The age limit usually means that eggs are donated; Physical health requires a comprehensive examination to ensure that it is suitable for pregnancy and childbirth; Select professional doctors and regular hospitals to ensure the quality and safety of treatment; Finally, local laws and regulations should be observed to ensure that the selected IVF scheme is legal and compliant.
