Requirements of IVF technology on female age
IVF technology (assisted reproductive technology) is a medical method through in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer to help couples who cannot conceive naturally realize their reproductive aspirations. However, female age is one of the important factors to be considered when choosing IVF technology. The following will elaborate the requirements of IVF technology on women's age in terms of age, egg quality, success rate, etc.
1. Egg quality and female age
Egg quality is one of the important factors affecting the success rate of IVF. Generally speaking, the egg quality of women will decline with age. Among women under 30 years old, the quality of eggs is relatively good and the chance of pregnancy is higher. However, the quality of female eggs began to decline after the age of 30, and accelerated significantly after the age of 40. This is due to the decrease in the number of female eggs and the increase in chromosomal abnormalities of eggs. Therefore, female age has an important impact on the success rate of IVF technology.
In fact, many professional hospitals have certain restrictions on the age of women. For example, a hospital stipulates that women under 35 years old can choose IVF technology, while for women over 35 years old, the hospital will evaluate whether it is suitable for IVF according to their personal conditions.
2. Success rate and female age
The success rate of IVF technology is also closely related to women's age. According to statistics, the probability of successful pregnancy for women aged 20-29 is about 30-35%, 25-30% for women aged 30-34, and only 5-10% for women over 40. This is because the decline of egg quality leads to the weakening of fertilization ability and implantation ability, thus reducing the success rate of IVF.
Therefore, doctors usually advise women to consider IVF technology as early as possible when they are young, so as to improve the success rate. Some hospitals even stipulate that women over a certain age need to take ovulation promoting drugs or donate eggs in order to carry out IVF treatment.
3. Older puerpera and increased risk
The elderly female parturients refer to those who are 35 years old or older. With the growth of women's age, the related risks of IVF also increased significantly. For example, the risks of early miscarriage, fetal termination, birth of malformed children and fetal chromosomal abnormalities will increase with women's age. Therefore, older mothers need to be more cautious in choosing IVF technology, and conduct comprehensive prenatal examination and consultation.
It should be noted that although age is an important factor, it is not the only one to consider. Other factors such as basic physical health, uterine condition, hormone level, etc. will also affect the success rate and risk of IVF.
4. Summary
IVF technology has certain requirements for women's age. The quality of female eggs decreases with age, and the success rate will also decrease. In order to improve the success rate of IVF and reduce the related risks, women should consider IVF technology as soon as possible to avoid the risks of older pregnancy. However, women's age is not the only consideration. Doctors will take multiple factors into consideration to provide each woman with a personalized treatment plan.
