SPECIFIC FACTORS THAT CAN MAKE THE NUMBER AND QUALITY OF EGG CELLS DECLINE AT A SLOWER RATE OR FASTER RATE
There are many studies undergoing that are trying side the factor that affect the egg cell number and slow down the ageing process.
- Avoiding or preventing medical illness such as obesity, diabetes, hypertension, anemia.
- Auto-immune disorders
- Exposure to covid virus or disease
- Recreational drugs
- Smoking and alcohol
- Sexual transmitted diseases such as chlamydia
- Age of menopause of one’s mother, grandmother, aunts and sisters.
If there is a family history of early menopause (before the age of 50) that history should be an important consideration.
Even patients have their own individual genetic likelihood of rapid or slow decline in number and egg quality. This probably can be more rapid if there are environmental factors such as toxicity, medical conditions, or illnesses. Even patients who are meticulous with their health, they may be able to slow down the loss of egg cells but not forever.
AMH level is still extremely important to help answer this question to patients.
