What is the reason of the elder childbearing leading to amputation?
In modern society, with the improvement of medical conditions and women's education level, many women choose to delay marriage and childbirth, leading to the gradual increase of elderly childbearing. However, the elderly childbearing also faces many potential risks and health problems. One of them is a broken palm, that is, a woman will have a finger or palm fracture during childbirth. This article will elaborate on the causes of amputation caused by aging childbirth from four aspects: physiological changes, osteoporosis, fetal weight and delivery mode.
Physiological changes
With the growth of age, a series of physiological changes will take place in women's bodies. For example, muscle elasticity is weakened, ligaments are loose, and bone density is reduced. These physiological changes weaken the bearing capacity of muscles and ligaments in the delivery process of elderly mothers, thus increasing the risk of finger and palm bone injuries.
In addition, the growth of age will also lead to the decline of the coordination ability and reaction ability of the pregnant women, making it difficult for them to adjust their fingers and palms in time during childbirth, further increasing the possibility of palm amputation.
osteoporosis
Osteoporosis is a common disease of the elderly, characterized by thinning of bone and decreased bone density. During pregnancy, due to the secretion of progesterone and the demand of the fetus for calcium, their bones may be under greater pressure. If the mother suffers from osteoporosis, the bone is more likely to fracture.
In addition, osteoporosis may be related to women's longer menstrual period. Long term menstrual cycles may lead to insufficient calcium intake, which may lead to bone thinning. Osteoporosis increases the risk of finger and palm fractures during childbirth.
Fetal weight
The fetal weight of the elderly parturients is generally larger than the normal fetal weight range. This may be because older women are more likely to suffer from complications such as gestational diabetes or pregnancy induced hypertension, which leads to accelerated fetal growth.
The increase of fetal weight makes the puerpera need more strength to push the fetus through the birth canal during childbirth. This excessive force may lead to excessive pressure on the bones of the mother's fingers and palms, thus increasing the risk of fracture.
Mode of delivery
Older women may prefer to choose caesarean section in the mode of delivery. Cesarean section is the removal of the fetus through an abdominal surgical incision, rather than through a natural birth canal. However, caesarean section may increase the risk of maternal finger and palm fractures.
During the caesarean section, the mother needs to keep her arms and palms fixed in a specific position for the operation. This may lead to unnatural posture of fingers and palms and increase the risk of fractures. In addition, improper operation by doctors and nurses during the operation may also lead to palm breakage.
Summary
The causes of amputation in the elderly mainly include physiological changes, osteoporosis, fetal weight and delivery mode. With the growth of age, a series of physiological changes will take place in women's bodies, which makes the bones of pregnant women prone to fracture during childbirth. The existence of osteoporosis further increases the risk of fracture. The fetus of the elderly parturient is generally heavier, which increases the possibility of finger and palm fractures during delivery. In addition, elderly women are more likely to choose caesarean section, which may lead to an increased risk of finger and palm fractures. Therefore, women who are ready to give birth at an advanced age should pay attention to health management, actively prevent osteoporosis, and choose appropriate delivery methods to reduce the risk of palm amputation.
