Pregnancy is a common experience for women, as it involves the combination of eggs and healthy sperm. However, aging eggs can lead to health issues in the baby they give birth to.
What is egg aging?
Only one follicle matures every natural month, and mature eggs are quickly discharged into the abdominal cavity. Only one egg matures during each menstrual cycle. The normal phenomenon of egg aging is the expulsion of eggs from the ovary. Over time, the cell quality continues to age, and ultimately death is inevitable. Mammals typically age significantly about 8 hours after ovulation, and ovulation is in a state of vitality, gradually aging over time.
When female eggs age, they should actively exercise. Some female friends are physically weak and often have unhealthy eggs and poor ovulation. It is recommended that these female friends increase their outdoor activities appropriately, not too intense, such as running, climbing stairs, and skipping rope. Not only can it improve immunity, but it also helps ovulation.
Most women have abnormal menstrual cycles due to iron deficiency. Iron provides nutrients for the eggs and helps them grow better. Therefore, female friends should pay attention to appropriate iron supplementation.
What are the symptoms of egg aging?
The main characteristic of egg aging is fertility problems, where some transparent bands around the egg become thicker over time, hindering sperm entry and leading to a decrease in fertilization opportunities.
Is egg aging prone to miscarriage?
Although the egg is aging, because it still has the ability to fertilize for several hours, it can also be fertilized if it encounters energetic sperm, but this kind of zygote dies in the development process, leading to the termination or abortion of the fetus. Another hypothesis is that older women are more likely to conceive deformed children. Eggs will degenerate towards the end of reproductive age, leading to chromosomal abnormalities. This is because the process of egg division may result in cell division errors, sometimes a pair of chromosomes do not separate.
In addition, if the egg is fertilized, the embryo will produce more chromosomes. For example, patients with Down syndrome have more than 21 chromosomes. As we age, the risk of cell division errors increases, and the likelihood of chromosomal dysfunction and mutations also increases. Therefore, the incidence rate of Down syndrome and other diseases increases with age.
