Problems existing in elderly childbearing
With the progress of society and the improvement of people's living standards, more and more women choose to postpone the childbearing age. Elderly childbearing refers to women's pregnancy and childbirth at the age of 35 and above. Although elderly childbearing provides opportunities for women who marry and have children later, it also brings a series of problems.
First of all, the risk of pregnancy increases with the age of childbearing. With the growth of women's age, the function of the reproductive system will gradually decline, and the number and quality of female eggs will also gradually decrease. This will not only increase the difficulty of pregnancy, but also increase the risk of early abortion and deformed children.
Secondly, the elderly childbirth increases the risk of childbirth. The older the woman is, the greater the risk of her diseases, such as hypertension, diabetes, etc. These chronic diseases will increase the complications of childbirth and the difficulty of postpartum recovery.
In addition, the elderly childbearing also has an impact on the health of the fetus. As the maternal age increases, the risk of fetal chromosomal abnormalities (such as Down syndrome) increases significantly. At the same time, the maternal health will also affect the growth and development of the fetus.
Avoidance of health risks in elderly women and fetuses
In order to reduce the health risks of elderly mothers and fetuses, the following suggestions are made:
First, prenatal examination and consultation should be carried out in advance. Prenatal examination should be carried out in a timely manner before pregnancy to ensure good health. At the same time, consult the doctor to understand the risks and possible complications of elderly childbearing, and formulate a reasonable birth plan.
Second, maintain a healthy lifestyle. The elderly puerpera should pay attention to reasonable nutrition, increase the amount of exercise, maintain a good attitude and adequate sleep. Avoid contact with harmful substances and environment, such as chemicals, radiation, etc.
In addition, regular prenatal examination and monitoring of fetal development are also essential. Doctors will evaluate the health of the fetus through ultrasound and other inspection methods, and timely find and deal with possible problems.
Finally, if the elderly women have other chronic diseases, such as hypertension, diabetes, etc., they should be fully treated and adjusted before pregnancy to ensure the stability of their physical conditions.
Reminder based on the actual situation of the hospital
In fact, the equipment and professional level of different hospitals will also have a certain impact on the health risks of elderly mothers and fetuses. Therefore, it is also very important to choose suitable hospitals and doctors.
It is suggested to choose a gynecology and obstetrics hospital with advanced equipment and high professional level for prenatal examination and delivery. In this way, more accurate examination results and more timely medical treatment can be obtained, and the risk of maternity and fetus can be reduced.
At the same time, it is also very important to choose experienced doctors. Experienced doctors can better judge and deal with problems and reduce complications and risks.
Summary
Although giving birth at an advanced age provides women with more choices, it also brings a series of problems. Older women have difficulties in pregnancy, increased risk of delivery and affected fetal health. In order to avoid the health risks of elderly mothers and fetuses, it is recommended to carry out prenatal examination and consultation in advance, maintain a healthy lifestyle, carry out prenatal examination regularly, and select appropriate hospitals and doctors for prenatal examination and delivery.
