The concept of elder childbearing
Elderly childbearing refers to women's behaviors of pregnancy and childbirth in the age range of 35 years and above. With the development of society and people's constant pursuit of quality of life, more and more women choose to postpone childbearing to pursue career and personal development. However, the elderly birth also brings a series of health risks and birth difficulties, which need to be paid attention to.
Influencing factors of elderly childbearing
The main influencing factors of elderly childbearing include the aging of the reproductive system, the decline of egg quality, ovulation disorders, endometrial abnormalities, and the increased risk of fetal malformations. The physiological status of women changes with age. The number and quality of eggs gradually decrease, and the ovarian function declines, which greatly reduces the chances of pregnancy and embryo implantation. In addition, the function of uterus and pelvic organs also weakens with age, thus affecting the possibility of pregnancy and smooth delivery.
In addition, older women face higher risk of diseases during pregnancy than younger women, such as hypertension, diabetes, placental insufficiency, etc. These diseases will bring potential threats to the health of pregnant women and fetuses.
Therefore, it is necessary to comprehensively assess women's physical condition and fertility, and select appropriate fertility methods and medical support to reduce health risks and improve the fertility success rate.
Medical support for elderly childbearing
Medical support plays a vital role for the elderly women who give birth. First of all, compared with young women, older women need more comprehensive physical examination and assessment before conception, including ovarian function examination, uterine examination, hysteroscopy, etc., to ensure that their physical conditions are suitable for pregnancy and delivery.
Secondly, elderly women can choose assisted reproductive technology, such as in vitro fertilization (IVF), to increase the chance of pregnancy. IVF technology can improve the quantity and quality of eggs and increase the success rate of pregnancy through the use of ovulation promoting drugs. In addition, older women with poor egg quality can choose to use eggs from young egg donors to better ensure the quality of embryos.
Finally, during pregnancy, older women need to be monitored and managed more closely, including regular prenatal examination, regular ultrasound examination, blood pressure and blood sugar monitoring, and necessary medical intervention according to the specific situation. In this way, possible complications can be found and dealt with as early as possible to ensure the health of pregnant women and fetuses.
Risks and precautions of elder childbearing
The health risks and precautions brought about by elderly childbearing mainly include the health risks of pregnant women, problems of embryo quality and risks of genetic diseases. First of all, the elderly pregnant women are prone to pregnancy complications, such as pregnancy hypertension, pregnancy diabetes, etc., which need close attention and treatment. Secondly, the embryo quality of the elderly women is relatively poor, which easily leads to embryo implantation failure, abortion and other problems. Finally, older women are more likely to carry fetuses with chromosomal abnormalities, increasing the risk of hereditary diseases.
Therefore, elderly women need to fully understand the relevant risks when considering childbearing and conduct a comprehensive evaluation in the hospital. At the same time, a healthy lifestyle and eating habits also help to improve the success rate of childbirth and pregnancy, such as a balanced diet, regular exercise, and avoiding bad habits such as tobacco and alcohol.
Summary
Elderly childbearing refers to women's behavior of pregnancy and childbirth within the age range of 35 years and above. The aging of the reproductive system, the decline of egg quality, ovulation disorders and other factors affect the elderly fertility. For women who have given birth at an advanced age, medical support is very important, including comprehensive physical examination and evaluation, application of assisted reproductive technology, and close monitoring and management during pregnancy. However, the elderly childbirth also brings a series of health risks and precautions, including maternal health risks, embryo quality problems and risks of genetic diseases. Therefore, elderly women need to fully understand the relevant risks when considering childbirth, and conduct a comprehensive evaluation and select appropriate medical support in the hospital.
