The effect of elderly childbearing on mammary gland
With the progress of social economy and the development of medical technology, more and more women choose to postpone childbearing, which leads to the increase of elderly childbearing. However, the elderly childbearing will have a certain impact on women's breast health. This article will elaborate on the influence of the elderly childbearing on the mammary gland from four aspects.
1. Aging of breast tissue
Older women who give birth tend to be older, and breast tissue will also age. The aging of breast tissue will lead to changes in the number and size of fibrous glands under the breast skin, thus affecting the shape and function of the breast. The aging of breast tissue has a direct impact on breast health and may increase the risk of breast cancer.
In addition, the aging of breast tissue will also lead to the decline of breast elasticity, which is prone to relaxation and sagging, causing psychological and physiological discomfort to women. Therefore, women who give birth at an advanced age should pay more attention to breast health and take relevant preventive measures in time.
2. Increased risk of breast cancer
There is a certain correlation between the elderly childbearing and breast cancer. The study found that the incidence of breast cancer was relatively high among the elderly women who gave birth. This may be related to the aging of breast tissue, changes in hormone levels and slowing down of metabolism and other factors.
In addition, women who give birth at an advanced age may experience a longer lactation period after giving birth, and the breast is in a high load state for a long time, which increases the risk of breast cancer. Therefore, women who have given birth at an advanced age need to pay close attention to the changes of the breast, carry out regular breast examinations, and find and treat lesions as soon as possible.
3. Breast disease development
The aging of breast tissue may make the elderly women who give birth more likely to suffer from breast diseases due to their older age. Breast diseases, including hyperplasia of breast, breast cyst and mastitis, will bring women uncomfortable symptoms such as breast pain, nipple bleeding, etc.
The development of breast disease will not only affect women's quality of life, but also increase the risk of breast cancer. Therefore, women who have given birth at an advanced age need to pay special attention to breast health, carry out regular breast examinations and self observation, and timely discover and treat breast diseases.
4. Breastfeeding difficulties and child health
Older women who give birth may face more difficulties in breast-feeding due to aging of breast tissue and slow metabolism. Breast tissue is relatively loose, and milk secretion may not be as sufficient as that of young women, which has a certain impact on baby feeding.
In addition, female children born at an advanced age are relatively young at birth and may have more health problems. This will have an impact on breastfeeding and baby nutrition intake. Therefore, women who give birth at an advanced age should consult a professional doctor during pregnancy to understand and adopt appropriate feeding methods to ensure the healthy growth of the baby.
Summary
To sum up, the impact of elderly childbearing on the breast is mainly reflected in the aging of breast tissue, the increased risk of breast cancer, the development of breast disease, difficulties in breastfeeding and child health. In the face of these impacts, women who have given birth at an advanced age should pay attention to the health monitoring and protection of the breast, conduct regular breast examinations, timely find and treat potential problems, consult professional doctors in advance, and ensure the health of themselves and their children.
