There are risks involved in IVF, especially for elderly mothers who are at high risk. We all know that the age of 35 is a 'feng shui mountain', and for women under the age of 35, the risk of IVF is relatively low, while older mothers over the age of 35 have a high risk. This is mainly due to the decline in reproductive function and various physical indicators of elderly women, and even some reproductive system diseases. So, what are the risks of in vitro fertilization for elderly women in childbirth? Let's learn more together.

35 year old women have less than half of the chance of having healthy offspring than 25 year old women. The incidence of infertility has increased significantly. The abortion rate of 40 year old women is more than 40%, and the incidence rate of some chronic digestive diseases also increases with age. In addition to an increased risk of miscarriage, when a pregnant mother is over 35 years old, there is a significant increase in chromosomal variation, which will lead to an increase in fetal malformation rates.

But with the development trend of medical technology, there are now more methods to help older women have children than before. Although the shortcomings mentioned above still exist, adequate pre pregnancy preparation and prenatal examination are the guarantee of this difficult path to pregnancy.

Firstly, evaluate fertility. If the uterus and ovaries are in good condition, a trial pregnancy can be conducted for six months. After six months of trial pregnancy, the third generation IVF technology for ovulation promotion, IVF, and cell biology screening before IVF implantation can be performed. Remember not to blindly wait for natural pregnancy, as the pass rate of IVF will continue to decrease.

Secondly, it is necessary to select and evaluate the hematopoietic function of the uterus. As age increases, the incidence of uterine tumors will also increase, and diseases such as endometriosis may also occur, leading to increased difficulty during pregnancy, increased risk during pregnancy, and difficulty in postpartum recovery for pregnant women. If you cannot create it yourself, you need to give up moderately and choose a third party to do IVF.

Women with poor uterine and ovarian conditions should seek professional technical assistance in childbirth as soon as possible, and do not blindly follow the trend to prepare for pregnancy. Time is really precious for older women!

Elderly women who undergo in vitro fertilization need to take these health measures well

1. Caution with medication: If you are taking prescription or over-the-counter medications, please inform your doctor. Some medications may interfere with the medication used during your treatment process, or affect ovulation and embryo implantation.

2. Avoid drinking alcohol: Alcohol is an anesthetic and should generally be avoided during infertility treatment. Alcohol is an unknown factor in the treatment process and can affect the efficacy.

3. Avoid smoking: Both you and your husband should stop smoking before ovulation induction. If you cannot completely quit smoking, do not smoke at least 2 weeks before ovulation induction. According to research, smoking during pregnancy can lead to low birth weight infants and affect fetal development.

4. Adjusting emotions: Any surgery or IVF treatment may cause emotional fluctuations and significant stress for you and your husband. During your treatment, it is important to eat reasonably and maintain sufficient sleep. At the same time, you and your husband can consider the help of others, such as friends, colleagues, family, and psychologists.

5. Avoid strenuous exercise: During ovulation induction and before testing for pregnancy, avoid engaging in strenuous exercise such as aerobics, jogging, weightlifting, ice skating, etc.

There is a high risk of IVF for elderly mothers giving birth, especially those over 35 or even 40 years old. They should have sufficient risk awareness and not blindly follow the trend. Especially when choosing hospitals and doctors, they must have their own independent ideas, actively cooperate with medical students, maintain good health, and actively prepare for pregnancy.
