Patient's question:
I am already 50 years old this year, and my wife is also over 40. We already have one child, but now the policy allows for a second child, so we both want to have another one.Doctor's answer:
Based on your description, it is inferred that a 50-year-old man can have a second child as long as his sperm is normal. However, for a 40-year-old woman, ovarian function tends to decline, and fertility also declines. But if her menstrual cycle and menstrual volume are currently normal, she can still get pregnant. It is recommended that if the couple wants to get pregnant, they should first go to the hospital for some pre-pregnancy tests. If all pre-pregnancy tests are normal, they can proceed with normal pregnancy preparation.
