Hwang emphasizes that as a woman gets older, apart from losing eggs and having aging ovaries, her reproductive organs are more likely to have undergone pathological changes. For instance, older women are more likely to suffer from fibroid tumors of the uterus, endometriosis, and obstructed fallopian tubes. All of these conditions can negatively affect their chances of becoming successfully impregnated.
黃建榮強調，女性隨著年齡漸增，除了卵子減少、卵巢功能與卵子品質老化，生殖器官也較容易出現病變，例如常見的子宮肌瘤、子宮內膜異位、輸卵管阻塞等，都會影響到成功受孕的機會。
