What is the best age of IVF 40?
IVF refers to the babies born in the process of in vitro fertilization and culture through artificial assisted reproduction technology. With the development of modern medicine, IVF technology has gradually matured and become an important means for infertile couples to have their own children. However, age has a certain impact on the success rate of IVF. The following will elaborate on the optimal age of IVF 40 from four aspects: age limit, success rate, health risk and hospital selection.
Age limit
Female age is one of the important factors affecting the success rate of IVF. Generally speaking, female fertility gradually declines after the age of 35. Therefore, if you want to try IVF technology, the age below 40 is the ideal age range. At this age, the quality of female eggs is relatively good, which is conducive to the formation and transfer of embryos. For women over 40 years old, due to the growth of age, the quality of eggs declined, and the success rate of IVF was relatively low.
However, age is only a reference index, not an absolute limit. In practice, doctors will give corresponding suggestions according to the specific conditions of patients, taking into account various factors, including the quality of the woman's eggs, the man's sperm quality, and other possible fertility problems. Therefore, for women over 40 years old, there is still a certain opportunity to achieve their reproductive aspirations through IVF technology.
Success rate
Age has a direct impact on the success rate of IVF. According to statistics, the success rate of IVF treatment for women under 40 years old is generally 30% to 40%. For women over 40 years old, the success rate is relatively low, generally around 10% to 20%. This is because the quality of eggs of women over 40 years old decreases, which is prone to chromosomal abnormalities and gene mutations, reducing the quality of embryos, thus affecting the success rate of IVF.
In addition to female age, male sperm quality will also have a certain impact on the success rate of IVF. There are differences in the quantity and quality of male spermatozoa. A small number or poor quality of spermatozoa will reduce the quality of embryos, thus affecting the success rate. Therefore, in IVF treatment, men also need to conduct semen analysis to determine whether other assistive technologies are needed to improve the fertilization rate.
Health risks
Women over 40 years old have certain health risks when receiving IVF treatment. As women get older, their risk of suffering from other diseases will also increase, such as hypertension, diabetes, etc. These diseases may have a certain impact on maternal and fetal health. In addition, with the growth of age, the risk of complications during pregnancy will also increase, such as premature delivery, placental dysfunction, etc. Therefore, before IVF treatment, women over 40 years old need to do a good job in physical examination and evaluation to ensure that their physical conditions are suitable for IVF treatment.
Hospital selection
Test tube baby is a complex technological process, and the requirements for hospitals are relatively high. When choosing a hospital, we should consider the technical strength, equipment level, successful cases and doctor-patient communication of the hospital. Some well-known tertiary hospitals and professional reproductive hospitals in China, such as Peking Union Medical College Hospital and Shanghai East China Hospital, have high technical level and can provide standardized IVF services. When selecting a hospital, patients can make a comprehensive judgment by referring to the expert team and technical equipment of the hospital, as well as patient feedback evaluation.
Summary
For the optimal age of 40 for IVF infants, the age below 40 is the ideal age range. The age of women has an important impact on the success rate of IVF. The older the women, the lower the success rate. For women over 40 years old, due to the decline of egg quality and other possible health risks, a comprehensive assessment should be made when choosing IVF treatment. When choosing a hospital, patients should consider the technical strength and equipment level of the hospital, and choose a regular tertiary hospital or professional reproductive hospital for treatment.
