Women can't get pregnant after menopause, and men seem to have no age limit. How long does a man have fertility? Do you have fertility for life? Let's take a look at expert analysis!
There are four seasons in life, and sometimes fertility
Recently, the divorce between Murdoch, the 82-year-old "media tycoon", and his wife Wendi Deng, has been stirred up. According to media reports, in 2001, Wendi Deng gave birth to her and Murdoch's first daughter using test-tube baby technology, while Merkel was 70 years old when she was born in 1931. In 2003, Wendi Deng gave birth to a daughter for Murdoch, who was 72 years old at that time. In this regard, many people question how old is the maximum reproductive age of human beings? According to the literature, the male with the largest natural reproductive age is 93 years old. It seems that with the progress of medical technology, it is not difficult for families with "old husbands and young wives" to have a baby. But for women, age has a great impact on fertility.
"Human life is a sexually transmitted disease with a mortality rate of 100%," said Lunenfield, a famous male reproductive endocrinologist. This maxim, which is in line with scientific facts, full of philosophy and wisdom, reveals that before the emergence of human cloning, the reproduction of human life will depend on sexual activities, and ultimately will not avoid death.
Men can have fertility for life
The rise and fall of reproductive system function in a person's life is like climbing a mountain. Born at the foot of the mountain, he slowly climbed to the top of the mountain in childhood, and accelerated his sprint and finally reached the top in adolescence. After a short stay, he began to walk again to the foot of the mountain on the other side until the end of his life. The function of the reproductive system is on the way down the hill. Men are different from women. Men always yearn for the charming scenery on the top of the mountain, and reluctantly walk slowly down the hill step by step; And women fell to the bottom like falling off a cliff. Therefore, unlike women, the function of male reproductive system is only gradually decreased, and the level of androgen and reproductive function are only partially reduced, so the clinical symptoms are not obvious. Men can have a certain degree of sexual function and reproductive capacity throughout their lives. Although its function is only partially decreased, its androgen level, sexual function and fertility will also significantly decrease with the gradual increase of age, which is called male delayed hypogonadism in medicine. In addition, when men encounter certain diseases or accidents, the function of their reproductive system will decline. At this time, men, like women, can also show obvious symptoms of male menopause.
Female menopause is not the boundary of ending sexual life
In view of the above characteristics of the physiological functions of the male reproductive system, there is no age limit for the termination of sexual activities of healthy elderly men. Of course, female menopause is not the limit of female sexual life termination. On the contrary, many postmenopausal women are no longer worried about accidental pregnancy. At the same time, the relationship between husband and wife has become more stable, and the children have grown up and left the nest. At this time, they have leisure time, carefree mood and undisturbed environment, and carefully taste their "sexual bliss" life. There is no doubt that normal and moderate sex life is human instinct and one of the signs of physical health. As long as we maintain good health, human sexual function should be accompanied by life, and there will never be retirement or layoff. Appropriate sexual activities for the elderly often exceed the function of procreation, can bring physical and mental pleasure, and can improve self-confidence, relax mood, improve sleep, enhance immunity, enhance mutual trust between husband and wife, and make life better.
