[Aging and anti-aging of oocytes].
The functions of organs decrease as the age increases. The fecundity of women also decreases due to mainly the decreasing quality of oocytes. The recent change of life style makes the age of infertility patients elder and infertility treatments more difficult. The therapeutic strategy for the elder infertility patients is still chaotic. The precise evaluation for the ageing in the female genital organs should be developed and the treatment for the failure of fecundity due to aging must be overcome.
