Vivian Tu: 我想和大家分享我个人冻卵的经历。我今年30岁,但考虑到我的职业规划,我并不打算在短期内生育。为了给自己一个保障,我决定冷冻卵子,以备将来生育困难时使用。我的一个朋友因为家族遗传的生育问题而提前检查了卵巢储备,结果发现卵子数量偏低,这让我开始关注自己的生育能力。虽然我不是医学专家,但我邀请了我的医生Nicole Yoder来为大家讲解相关知识。 Nicole Yoder: 生育医学是一个相对较新的领域,技术发展迅速。对于想要生育的人来说,规划好自己的人生非常重要,要考虑到年龄和整体健康状况。女性的生育能力在35岁左右开始下降,卵子质量也会受到影响。最佳生育年龄是20多岁中后期,但很多人会推迟到30多岁甚至40多岁才考虑生育。美国的生殖教育缺乏对不孕不育的关注,而事实上,不孕不育的比例正在上升。因此,尽早了解自己的生育能力非常重要。
