Nowadays, both men and women have become aware, so they give priority to their career before marriage. In such a situation, many times there is a delay in marriage and then in having children. At such a time, the effect of increasing age on your fertility starts showing. This problem of fertility can occur in both the female partner and the male partner. Here we will learn from Dr. Chanchal Sharma the answers to all those questions that are in the mind of most couples. Like what is the relation of fertility with age? How can your increasing age become the reason for infertility? And what are the factors that affect a person’s fertility?
Effect of age on fertility
Every woman’s ovarian reserve is fixed, which decreases with increasing age. Ovarian reserve, also known as ovarian reserve in Hindi, indicates the number and quality of eggs present in a woman’s ovaries. This tells about a woman’s fertility. Sometimes it may decrease due to some kind of injury or disease, but in general this ovarian reserve decreases with increasing age. As it decreases, a woman’s fertility also decreases. Due to this, couples are unable to become parents and remain worried.
How to know if ovarian reserve is decreasing?
If your ovarian reserve is decreasing, then it is very important to know this, only then you can plan pregnancy by getting proper treatment in time. Now we will know how to know about ovarian reserve? To know this, you have to do a test called AMH test. This test is done through your blood. Often doctors advise this test to those couples who are having trouble conceiving and are over 35 years old.
How to know whether AMH is normal or not?
The level of AMH in a woman keeps changing according to age, but if we talk about a normal range, then 1.5-4.0ng/ml is considered a healthy level, in which any woman can easily conceive. But here it has to be understood that sometimes pregnancy can happen even if AMH is less than 1, but for that it is very important for the woman’s uterus to be healthy. It is important to understand the interrelationship between age, AMH and ovarian reserve. If a woman is 25 years old, then normal AMH level for her will be considered to be 3. If a woman is between 25 and 30 years old, then normal AMH level for her will be considered to be 2. As your age increases, this level of AMH keeps on decreasing. By the age of 45, this count becomes less than 1 and then it becomes difficult for a woman to conceive naturally.
What to do when ovarian reserve is low?
Fertility expert Dr. Chanchal Sharma says that through Ayurvedic treatment, she has helped many patients to conceive whose AMH was less than 1. Therefore, you do not need to be disappointed because through Ayurvedic treatment, you can get the happiness of becoming a mother naturally without any surgery. According to Ayurveda, Shaman, Shodhana and Rasayana are used for this. You are asked to consume foods rich in Omega 3 fatty acids and Vitamin D. Because all these measures help in increasing your ovarian reserve.
