“As women age, fertility naturally declines, making it more difficult to conceive. While age-related infertility cannot be fully prevented, there are proactive health measures that can significantly improve reproductive longevity and allow women to better plan for their future.
“”While age-related infertility can’t be fully prevented, proactive health measures can improve reproductive longevity,”” explains Dr Sonal Chouksey, IVF Specialist at Birla Fertility and IVF Bhopal. “”Regular check-ups, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, and fertility preservation techniques like egg freezing allow women to safeguard their fertility. Early intervention and fertility assessments can help women plan for the future more effectively.””
A woman’s fertility begins to decline gradually in her 30s and more rapidly after age 35. However, regular fertility health check-ups can help identify potential issues early on. Assessing factors like egg reserve and overall reproductive health can offer a clear picture of fertility potential, empowering women to make informed decisions about family planning.
In addition to medical evaluations, lifestyle choices play a critical role in preserving fertility. A healthy diet, regular physical activity, and avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol consumption can help protect reproductive health and delay some of the negative impacts of aging on fertility. Stress management and hormonal balance are also crucial in maintaining reproductive well-being.
Fertility preservation, particularly egg freezing, has emerged as an effective option for women who want to extend their fertility window. By freezing eggs at a younger age, when the quality and quantity are higher, women can preserve their fertility and increase their chances of successful conception later in life.
While age-related infertility remains a natural part of the reproductive process, proactive health measures can offer more control over family planning and improve the likelihood of achieving pregnancy when the time is right.”
