Patient's question:
I and my husband are already at a very old age. I am 40 years old this year, and my husband is 44 years old. Can we still have children when we are older?Doctor's answer:
General male menopause occurs between the ages of 55 and 65. If a man is in good physical condition, it may be slightly delayed, so there is still a fairly high possibility. If you want to, you should hurry. The quality of the child born depends on the man's physical condition.Generally, the best age for men to reproduce is between 25 and 35. However, as men age, their physical functions decline, and factors such as inflammation, diet, and environmental influences can lower testosterone levels, increase seminal fluid secretion, and deprive sperm of nutrients. This can affect sperm maturation, weaken male fertility, and gradually reduce the chances of the woman giving birth. After the age of 50, this decline becomes more pronounced. Additionally, older men have a higher probability of having children with congenital defects or diseases.
