The relationship between multiple uterine fibroids and elderly fertility
With the rapid development of social economy, more and more women choose to delay childbearing, which leads to the increase of elderly childbearing. At the same time, hysteromyoma has also become one of the common gynecological diseases in women. So, is there a relationship between multiple uterine fibroids and elderly childbearing? This paper will analyze this problem from many aspects.
1. The influence of uterine fibroids on the fertility of the elderly
Uterine myoma is a benign tumor of uterine smooth muscle tissue, which has a certain impact on female fertility and pregnancy process. First of all, multiple uterine fibroids will lead to deformation of the uterine cavity, which will affect embryo implantation and placental implantation. Secondly, uterine fibroids may also cause uterine cavity to become smaller, which will restrict fetal development and increase the risk of premature delivery and low birth weight. Therefore, multiple uterine fibroids will adversely affect the pregnancy success rate and pregnancy outcome of elderly women.
Taking Peking Union Medical College Hospital, a famous top three hospital in China, as an example, the gynecology and obstetrics experts of the hospital pointed out that the presence of hysteromyoma would increase the risk of pregnancy for elderly women, including early abortion, premature rupture of membranes, prenatal bleeding, etc. Therefore, when older women consider giving birth, they need to go to the hospital in advance for relevant examinations to assess the impact of uterine fibroids on the pregnancy process and ensure the safety of mother and baby.
2. Does old age affect the formation of uterine fibroids
On the other hand, it is also worth discussing whether the elderly fertility will increase the incidence of multiple uterine fibroids. Research shows that with the increase of women's age, the prevalence of uterine fibroids also shows an upward trend. This is related to the decline of the level of lutein in the body of elderly women. The lutein plays an important role in maintaining the balance of uterine smooth muscle tissue, and its reduction can cause abnormal proliferation of uterine smooth muscle cells, thus promoting the formation of uterine fibroids.
For example, a study conducted by the Shanghai Maternity Hospital found that the prevalence of uterine fibroids among women over 45 years of age was significantly higher than that of women in other age groups. Therefore, the elderly women should pay attention to their own physical conditions, check regularly, find and deal with uterine fibroids in time before birth planning.
3. The elderly women who give birth need to pay special attention to the monitoring of uterine fibroids
The monitoring of hysteromyoma is particularly important in the process of elderly women considering fertility. Once the existence of hysteromyoma is found, it is necessary to closely monitor its size and growth rate, so as to take timely measures for treatment.
Experts from the Third Hospital of Peking University pointed out that for older women, if multiple uterine fibroids are large or develop rapidly, it may affect the safety and success rate of pregnancy. Therefore, such women should seek medical advice in a timely manner and receive personalized evaluation and guidance from professional doctors to determine the best timing of pregnancy and treatment plan.
4. Summary
To sum up, there is a certain correlation between multiple uterine fibroids and elderly childbearing. Uterine fibroids will have a negative impact on the pregnancy success rate and pregnancy outcome of elderly women, and elderly fertility may also increase the incidence of uterine fibroids. Therefore, the elderly women should pay attention to their own physical condition, check regularly, find and deal with uterine fibroids in time when they are planning their family. At the same time, for the elderly women who have suffered from uterine fibroids, special attention should be paid to the monitoring of uterine fibroids in order to take timely treatment measures to ensure the safety of mothers and infants.
