Why are the tragedies of elder childbearing frequent?
In recent years, the tragedies of elderly childbearing have occurred frequently, which has brought great pain to families and social confusion. Why do tragedies such as elder childbearing occur frequently? From the perspective of medicine, society, psychology and law, we can find some reasons.
Medical reasons
First of all, the reproductive process needs a healthy physical condition, including endocrine, heart and lung functions, pelvic structure and many other aspects. However, with the increase of age, various functions of the female body gradually decline, such as the decline of ovarian function, uterine aging, etc., which will lead to difficulties in pregnancy or an increased risk of fetal malformation.
Secondly, elderly mothers are more likely to suffer from chronic diseases than ordinary mothers. For example, chronic diseases such as diabetes and hypertension will bring difficulties to pregnancy management and increase the risk of pregnant women and fetuses.
In addition, the tragedy of elderly childbearing is often related to medical technology and medical care level. Some small hospitals or doctors without rich experience may have shortcomings in dealing with the pregnancy and childbirth of elderly mothers, so they cannot find and prevent potential dangers in time.
Social causes
Family pressure is one of the common social reasons for elderly childbearing. In order to "complete the task as soon as possible" or meet family and social expectations, some couples lead to late marriage and late childbearing. However, in the face of various difficulties and pressures, it is difficult to maintain a good physical and mental state, which further increases the risk of fertility.
In addition, occupational and economic reasons are also important components of social reasons. Some successful women may delay childbearing, hoping to focus more on career development. However, age restriction and physical function decline make them face more risks and difficulties in childbirth.
The society's understanding of elderly childbearing also plays a role. In some social groups, childbearing at an advanced age is considered as a symbol of "fashion" or "success", which leads some women to actively choose to give birth at an advanced age, ignoring the risks associated with it.
Psychological causes
Some elder childbearing tragedies are also related to individual psychological state. On the one hand, the uncertainty and anxiety of life may lead some women to persist in their desire to have children at an advanced age. On the other hand, for some women who fail to give birth successfully, they may have a strong sense of frustration and self blame, leading to endless psychological pressure.
In addition, the expectations of family and society for fertility will also cause some women to have inner conflicts and anxiety. They may feel pressure from relatives, friends and society, and are unwilling to take possible blame and criticism.
The importance of mental health cannot be ignored. Through professional psychological consultation and support, women can better face the pressure and risks of childbirth and make wise choices.
Legal reasons
Legal factors are also one of the reasons for the frequent occurrence of the tragedies of elderly childbearing. Different countries and regions have different restrictions and regulations on childbearing at an advanced age. In order to protect the health of women and fetuses, some places have stipulated the maximum age limit and prohibited the use of third-party eggs. However, some laws and regulations are imperfect or not strictly implemented, which leads to some elderly mothers still giving birth within the scope of the law, increasing the possibility of tragedy.
In addition, some countries' restrictions on marriage law and medical law also have an impact on elderly childbearing. For unmarried women or women who do not meet the legal age of their spouses, they will face legal restrictions and difficulties if they want to give birth at an advanced age.
epilogue
Why are the tragedies of elder childbearing frequent? Medical, social, psychological and legal reasons are intertwined. In order to reduce the occurrence of tragedies and protect the health of women and fetuses, it is necessary to comprehensively consider various factors and establish sound systems and norms for the elderly childbearing.
