Does Age Affect Pregnancy?
Explained by Dr. K. Anitha, Gynecologist at Pragathi IVF Centre, Guntur

Age plays a significant role in a woman's ability to conceive and have a healthy pregnancy. Dr. K. Anitha from Pragathi IVF Centre, Guntur, explains how fertility changes with age and its impact on pregnancy.

🔹 Fertility Declines with Age – Women are born with a limited number of eggs, and as they age, both the quantity and quality of eggs decrease, making conception more difficult.

🔹 Best Age for Pregnancy – The most fertile years are between 20-30. After 35, fertility declines more rapidly, and the chances of pregnancy complications increase.

🔹 Risks of Delayed Pregnancy – Women over 35 may face a higher risk of:
✔️ Miscarriage
✔️ Gestational diabetes
✔️ High blood pressure
✔️ Chromosomal abnormalities (e.g., Down Syndrome)
✔️ Difficulty in natural conception

🔹 IVF and Fertility Treatments – Advancements in medical science, such as In Vitro Fertilization (IVF), egg freezing, and hormone treatments, can help women conceive even at an older age.

Dr. K. Anitha advises women to plan their pregnancy at an optimal age and consult a fertility specialist if they face difficulties conceiving. Early medical intervention can increase the chances of a successful and healthy pregnancy.
