Is the success rate of IVF in the Third Hospital related to age?
Test tube baby technology is a modern reproductive medicine technology, which is a hope for those couples who cannot conceive naturally. However, many people are concerned about whether the success rate of IVF is related to age. This article will elaborate on this from women's age, egg quality, uterine environment and other factors.
1. Age of women
The age of women is an important factor in the success rate of IVF. Research shows that the number and quality of eggs in women will decline with age. In the age group below 35, the success rate is relatively high, but with the growth of age, such as over 40, the success rate will be significantly reduced. This is because women already have a fixed number of eggs at birth. With the increase of age, the number and quality of eggs will gradually decrease, thus reducing the possibility of pregnancy.
In addition, the study also found that women over 35 years old may be more likely to suffer from chronic diseases, such as hypertension and diabetes, which may increase the risk of pregnancy complications and further affect the success rate of IVF.
Therefore, for women who want to carry out IVF, it is very important to try as soon as possible to improve the probability of successful pregnancy.
2. Egg quality
Another key factor in IVF is the quality of eggs. The quality of eggs directly affects the success rate of fertilization and embryo implantation. With the growth of age, the quality of eggs will decline, leading to a lower success rate of IVF.
In view of the impact of age on the quality of eggs, some hospitals, in order to improve the success rate of IVF, would recommend that women take eggs at a younger age, and freeze the eggs, and then fertilize them when they are ready for pregnancy. This ensures that younger eggs are used before age has a greater impact on egg quality.
In addition, some assisted reproductive technologies, such as egg quality screening and embryo selection, can also help improve the success rate of IVF.
3. Uterine environment
In addition to egg quality, uterine environment also plays an important role in the success rate of IVF. The good condition of endometrium can provide a suitable environment for embryo implantation and development.
For some older women, the uterine environment may not be ideal, because as the age increases, the response of the endometrium to estrogen will decline, leading to endometrial thinning. This situation will affect the implantation of embryos and reduce the success rate of IVF.
Therefore, some hospitals may suggest that older women receive adjuvant treatment to optimize the uterine environment and improve the success rate of IVF. Adjuvant treatment includes estrogen replacement therapy, endometrial thickening, etc.
4. Other factors
In addition to age, egg quality and uterine environment, there are other factors that may affect the success rate of IVF.
For example, the quality of male sperm will also affect the success rate of IVF. If men have sperm quality problems, even if women's egg quality and uterine environment are good, it may affect the success rate of fertilization and embryonic development.
In addition, women's health status, lifestyle and drug use may have an impact on the success rate of IVF.
summary
In conclusion, the success rate of IVF is related to age. Women's age, egg quality, uterine environment and other factors will affect the success rate of IVF. The older the child is, the poorer the egg quality and the unsatisfactory uterine environment, the lower the success rate of IVF will be. Therefore, for couples who want to have IVF, early consultation with doctors, understanding their own conditions and relevant treatment can improve the success rate of IVF.
