Benefits of giving birth at an advanced age to improve women's health
With the progress of society, more and more women choose to postpone childbearing, which makes the elderly childbearing gradually become a trend. However, compared with young women, there may be some risks in giving birth at an advanced age, but it also has certain benefits, especially for women's health. This article will elaborate on the benefits of elderly childbearing on women's health from four aspects: improving self immunity, reducing the risk of breast cancer, protecting cardiovascular and cerebrovascular health, and enhancing the function of reproductive system.
Improve self immunity
Older women have a more mature immune system than younger women, which makes them more resistant to various pathogens. Research shows that older women who give birth are more likely to produce antibodies, which can help them better resist infection and disease. In addition, during pregnancy, the estrogen level in women's body increases, which has a positive impact on the function and repair ability of the immune system and can help women better cope with various diseases.
In addition, a study found that after a pregnancy, the number of immune cells and immune function in the body of elderly women who gave birth will be enhanced, thus improving their self immunity. This means that elder childbearing is not only a physiological change for women, but also an exercise of the immune system, which makes the immune cells in women's bodies more active and healthy.
Reduce breast cancer risk
Older childbearing can help women reduce the risk of breast cancer. Breast cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors in women, and there is a certain relationship between early pregnancy and breast cancer. The study found that women who gave birth at an advanced age had a lower risk of breast cancer than women who gave birth later or did not give birth.
After giving birth at an advanced age, women's breast tissue is in an active state, and breast cells will continue to divide and renew, which may reduce the chance of abnormal cell proliferation in breast tissue, thereby reducing the risk of breast cancer. In addition, during pregnancy, the level of progesterone in women's bodies increases significantly, which helps to inhibit the growth of breast cancer cells and further reduce the risk of breast cancer.
Protect cardiovascular and cerebrovascular health
The protective effect of elderly childbearing on women's cardiovascular and cerebrovascular health has attracted much attention. When women give birth at an advanced age, their bodies will increase some hormone levels, such as progesterone and estrogen. The increase of these hormones can promote the health of the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular systems.
Research shows that the increase of estrogen during pregnancy can help reduce women's risk of heart disease and stroke. In addition, during pregnancy, the level of fetal lipoprotein A1 (HDL-C) in women's blood will increase, while the level of triglyceride (TG) will decrease. These changes make it easier for women to maintain an ideal blood lipid level, thus protecting cardiovascular and cerebrovascular health.
Enhance reproductive system function
Elderly childbearing helps women strengthen the function of the reproductive system. With the growth of age, women's ovarian function will gradually decline, which will lead to a decline in the number and quality of eggs. However, studies have shown that the ovarian function of older women who have children will be effectively stimulated compared with women of the same age who do not have children, thus increasing the chance of ovulation.
In addition, progesterone levels in women during pregnancy will significantly increase, which is beneficial to women's reproductive and endocrine systems. Progesterone can promote the secretion and thickening of endometrium, providing a good environment for the implantation of fertilized eggs and the development of embryos. At the same time, progesterone can also regulate the balance of female endocrine system and promote the recovery and adjustment of ovarian function.
Summary
To sum up, giving birth at an advanced age has many benefits for women's health. First of all, elderly childbearing can enhance women's self immunity and enhance their resistance. Secondly, the elderly childbearing can reduce the risk of breast cancer for women. In addition, elderly childbearing can also protect women's cardiovascular and cerebrovascular health and reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke. Finally, elderly childbearing can help women enhance the function of the reproductive system, improve the balance between ovarian function and endocrine system. Therefore, when giving birth at an advanced age, women should pay attention to reasonably adjusting their lifestyle and maintaining good pregnancy management, so as to maximize the benefits of the advanced birth.
