Childbearing needs of the elderly with white hair
In recent years, with social progress and the improvement of medical standards, more and more women choose to postpone childbirth in order to pursue career success or enjoy the stability of marriage. With the growth of women's age, elderly childbearing has become a demand. Although there are certain risks and challenges in elderly childbearing, with the continuous progress of medical technology, more and more couples choose to challenge the natural law and achieve the desired fertility through assisted reproductive technology. This article will elaborate from four aspects: physiological condition, psychological demand, social influence and medical treatment.
Physiological condition
With the growth of age, women's fertility will gradually decline. The quality of female eggs decreases with age, and the ovarian function gradually declines. Among women over 35 years old, the decline of egg quality is more obvious, and the chances of pregnancy and pregnancy are greatly reduced. In addition, older pregnant women are prone to face more risks of pregnancy complications and fetal malformations. However, it is undeniable that some elderly pregnant women are still able to successfully conceive and give birth to healthy babies through good conditioning and medical technology.
In addition, older pregnant women need to receive more prenatal and prenatal examinations to ensure the health of the mother and fetus. Hospitals such as Peking Union Medical College Hospital and Ruijin Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine all provide professional reproductive services for elderly pregnant women. These hospitals are equipped with world-class equipment and professional medical teams, which can provide all-round professional care for elderly pregnant women.
However, it is worth noting that the babies conceived by older pregnant women are more likely to have chromosome abnormalities and gene mutations. Therefore, genetic counseling and fetal gene testing are very important for older pregnant women. Only after comprehensive consideration of various risks and personal realities can couples make a wise reproductive decision.
Psychological needs
For some elderly couples, childbirth is a psychological need. They hope to have a child of their own and continue their blood. For these couples, age is not an obstacle to their pursuit of happiness and becoming parents.
However, with the growth of age, some elderly couples may face more anxiety and pressure. They may worry about their fertility and their inability to shoulder the responsibilities of their parents. At this time, it is very important to communicate with professional psychological consultants and provide psychological support. These consultants can help them cope with anxiety and stress and find solutions that are suitable for them.
In addition, older pregnant women, like ordinary pregnant women, need the care and support of their surrounding families during pregnancy. The family's companionship and understanding can help them get through the anxiety and confusion during pregnancy. Sometimes, a warm word or a hug is enough to make the elderly pregnant women feel relieved and happy.
social influence
With the change of social concept, more and more people begin to accept the elderly childbearing. Especially in some developed countries, elder childbearing has become a fashion and trend. Some famous people, such as Hollywood stars, have welcomed their beloved son in the white haired years. Undoubtedly, this phenomenon has had a certain social impact on other elderly couples, making them more determined to choose to have children at an advanced age.
However, the elderly childbearing has also caused some disputes and doubts. Some people believe that giving birth at an advanced age may bring risks to the health of mothers and fetuses, and also increase their rearing burden. In addition, the physical condition and energy level of older parents may not be as good as that of younger parents, which affects their intimate interaction and educational ability with their children. These problems can not be ignored, and need to be fully considered and prepared by couples.
Medical aspects
Elderly childbearing requires assisted reproductive technologies, such as test tube babies. IVF technology is one of the most commonly used assisted reproductive technologies at present. It realizes pregnancy and delivery by combining sperm and eggs in the laboratory, and then implanting the fertilized eggs into the mother's uterus.
In China, there are many professional hospitals and expert teams providing IVF technology and fertility services. For example, the Reproductive Center of Peking Union Medical College Hospital is a professional institution with international standards. The center is equipped with advanced equipment and an experienced medical team, which can provide all-round reproductive counseling and treatment services for elderly couples.
Although assisted reproductive technology provides opportunities for elderly couples to achieve fertility, it should also pay attention to the limitations and risks of medical technology. Different couples have different conditions in terms of fertility, so personalized treatment plans need to be formulated according to individual conditions.
Summary
Older childbearing is a real demand, although there are some challenges and risks in physical, psychological, social and medical aspects. However, with the continuous innovation and progress of medical technology, more and more elderly couples can realize their reproductive dreams. Before making a decision, couples should fully understand their physical conditions, psychological needs and social impacts, and actively seek professional medical advice and support. Only by comprehensively considering various factors and making wise decisions can we achieve the birth of healthy babies.
