Information on success rate of IVF infants at 45 years old
As an assisted reproductive technology, IVF technology has been chosen by more and more couples to realize their reproductive dreams. However, with the growth of women's age, the success rate of IVF gradually declined, especially for women over 45 years old. This article will discuss the success rate of IVF at the age of 45 from many aspects.
The Influence of Age on the Success Rate of IVF
The success rate of IVF is closely related to the age of women. According to statistics, when women are under 35 years old, the success rate of IVF is about 40% to 50%; However, by the age of 45, the success rate has dropped to less than 5%. This is mainly because after women enter menopause, the quality and quantity of eggs decline, and their ability to fertilize and implant embryos becomes worse.
In addition, age also has an impact on male fertility. The quality and quantity of male sperm will also decline with age, which will further reduce the success rate of IVF.
Therefore, for women over 45 years old, the chances of successful IVF are relatively small. However, it is not without hope. Here we will introduce some relevant information from other aspects.
Advances in medical technology
With the continuous progress of medical technology, the success rate of IVF is also gradually increasing. Some advanced medical equipment and methods, such as advanced microscope, genetic screening and embryo culture technology, have created better conditions for the success of IVF.
In addition, some hospitals also introduced new assisted reproductive technologies, such as single embryo ectopic transfer (SET) and preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD). These technologies can help doctors screen high-quality embryos and improve the success rate of IVF.
Therefore, although age has a greater impact on the success rate of IVF, with the progress of medical technology, the hope of women over 45 years old to achieve IVF is not completely destroyed.
Influence of lifestyle
In addition to medical technology, lifestyle also has a certain impact on the success rate of IVF. Some studies have shown that balanced nutrition diet, proper exercise and reducing stress can improve reproductive health and increase the success rate of IVF.
In addition, bad habits such as quitting smoking, limiting caffeine intake and reducing alcohol consumption also need to be avoided. These habits will have a negative impact on the reproductive system and reduce the success rate of IVF.
Therefore, women who are over 45 years old for IVF should pay attention to adjusting their lifestyle to improve their chances of success in childbirth.
Psychological and social support
IVF is a psychological and physical challenge for couples. Older women may face greater pressure and anxiety when carrying out IVF. At this time, psychological and social support is particularly important.
Some hospitals provide psychological counseling services to help couples cope with emotional fluctuations and anxiety during IVF. In addition, couples can also seek the support of family and friends to spend the whole process of IVF together.
In general, although the success rate of IVF for women over 45 years old is relatively low, with the progress of medical technology, good lifestyle and psychosocial support, there is still a certain opportunity to realize the dream of childbirth. For couples who want to try IVF, understanding these relevant information can provide reference and guidance in the decision-making process.
