Physiological effects of elderly childbearing on menopause
With the progress of modern medical technology, more and more women choose to postpone pregnancy until menopause. However, the elderly fertility will have a series of physiological effects on menopause.
First of all, the elderly birth will accelerate the arrival of menopause. Menopause is a turning point in the female physiological cycle, which generally occurs between 45 and 55 years old. Under normal circumstances, the ovaries will gradually stop ovulation, and menstruation will gradually become irregular and eventually stop. However, due to the decline of ovarian function, the elderly women who have given birth often need in vitro fertilization and other assisted reproductive technologies to successfully conceive. These processes will produce extra load on the ovary, leading to premature ovarian failure, thus entering the menopause ahead of time.
Secondly, the elderly childbearing will increase the occurrence of menopausal symptoms. Climacteric symptoms, including hot flashes, sweating, insomnia, mood fluctuations, etc., often affect women's quality of life. The study found that women who gave birth at an advanced age were more likely to have these symptoms than women who were naturally pregnant at the same age. This may be related to the interference of elderly childbearing on hormone levels, making menopausal symptoms more obvious.
In addition, elderly childbearing also increases the risk of menopause related diseases. Postmenopausal women are prone to osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease and other diseases. However, women who have given birth at an advanced age are prone to these diseases because of their older childbearing age and lower physical recovery ability after menopause. At the same time, when the children born at an advanced age are in menopause, they will also face the dual pressure of raising parents and taking care of children, increasing the risk of disease.
The Psychological Influence of Old Childbearing on Climacteric Period
In addition to the physiological impact, the elderly childbearing will also have a certain impact on the psychological state of menopause.
First, the elderly childbearing may cause anxiety and depression. Women who give birth at an advanced age often face pressure from society and family, worrying about whether they can successfully conceive and the health of their children in the future. If you have not been pregnant, this concern may further aggravate, leading to psychological problems.
Secondly, women who give birth at an advanced age may feel lonely and helpless during menopause. Due to the pressure of children's life and work, they often cannot get enough company and care. At the same time, the growth of age makes it more difficult to communicate with other menopausal women, increasing the sense of loneliness in psychology.
In addition, elderly childbearing may also lead to changes in sexual partnership during menopause. During menopause, due to physical changes and the increase of life pressure, the sexual desire of women who have given birth at an advanced age may decline, leading to tension and contradiction in sexual partnership and affecting the feelings between husband and wife.
The Social Impact of Old Childbearing on Climacteric Period
Older childbearing not only has an impact on individuals, but also has a certain impact on society.
First of all, the elderly childbearing will increase the pressure of social pension. When the children born at an advanced age are in menopause, their parents are also in the stage of old age. This means that they not only need to bear the responsibility of taking care of their children, but also need to pay attention to pension issues, increasing the pressure on the society to provide for the elderly.
Secondly, the elderly childbearing will affect women's career development. Because women who have given birth at an advanced age need more time and energy to take care of their children, they are often unable to devote themselves fully to their work. This may limit their career development and increase women's economic pressure after menopause.
In addition, elderly childbearing will also have an impact on families. When the children born at an advanced age are in menopause, their parents have entered old age and may need more care and attention. This means that menopausal women not only have to face their own physical changes and pressure, but also need to take into account the needs of the family, which has brought some pressure to the family.
summary
The influence of elderly childbearing on menopause is mainly embodied in three aspects: physiology, psychology and society. Physiologically, elderly childbearing will accelerate the arrival of menopause, increase the occurrence of menopausal symptoms, and increase the risk of menopausal related diseases. Psychologically, elderly childbearing may cause anxiety and depression, make women feel lonely and helpless, and have an impact on sexual partnership. In society, elderly childbearing will increase pension pressure, affect women's career development and bring pressure to families. Therefore, women need to consider these factors comprehensively and make wise decisions when considering elder childbearing.
