Maternal damage caused by elderly childbearing
With the progress of society and the continuous development of medical technology, more and more women choose to postpone childbearing, and the elderly childbearing has also become a trend. However, the elderly childbearing is not without risks to the mother, it may bring a series of health problems. This article will elaborate on the damage to the mother from four aspects.
1. Increased complications during pregnancy
Older pregnant women will face higher risk of pregnancy complications due to physiological differences. First, the incidence of gestational diabetes is increasing, which is caused by the decline of pancreatic islet function and the increase of insulin resistance in elderly pregnant women. Secondly, older pregnant women are also prone to pre pregnancy hypertension, which will increase the risk of premature delivery, intrauterine growth restriction and other risks. In addition, the problems of nausea, vomiting and gastroesophageal reflux during pregnancy of elderly pregnant women are also prominent, which brings many discomfort during pregnancy.
For these complications during pregnancy, doctors usually take corresponding treatment measures to protect the health of mothers and babies. However, these treatment processes may increase the burden of the mother and have certain risks. Therefore, older pregnant women need to monitor their physical conditions more carefully, see doctors regularly and accept the guidance of doctors.
2. Increased risk of delivery
Older pregnant women face an increased risk of delivery. First, elderly pregnant women may have poor uterine contractile function, which increases the time after labor pains and the risk of prolonged labor process. Secondly, the elderly pregnant women will face higher cesarean section rate, which is because the elasticity and contractility of the uterus muscle layer and pelvic floor muscle group of the elderly pregnant women are reduced, leading to difficulties in natural delivery. In addition, older pregnant women are more likely to have complications such as postpartum hemorrhage and infection.
In order to reduce the risk of delivery, the medical team usually actively carries out prenatal inspection and evaluation to select the most appropriate delivery mode. In some elderly pregnant women with diseases or pregnancy complications, cesarean section may be recommended to ensure the safety of mother and baby.
3. Later health problems
Older childbearing may have a long-term impact on women's health. On the one hand, old childbearing will accelerate the decline of ovarian function, lead to earlier menopause, and increase the risk of gynecological tumors such as breast cancer and ovarian cancer. On the other hand, elderly childbearing will also increase women's risk of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes.
Therefore, after giving birth at an advanced age, women need to regularly carry out relevant health consultation and inspection, and improve their lifestyle to reduce the risk of disease. Doctors may suggest breast and gynecological tumor screening, and develop personalized health management plans according to individual conditions.
4. Psychological and social pressure
For women, giving birth at an advanced age is not only a physical challenge, but also may bring psychological and social pressure. On the one hand, women may face various pressures from their families, relatives, friends and society, including concerns about their physical condition and fetal health, as well as the impact of marriage and career development. On the other hand, the physical discomfort and pregnancy reaction caused by the elderly childbirth may increase women's anxiety and stress.
In order to reduce these psychological and social pressures, women should communicate with their families and friends to seek psychological support and understanding. In addition, it is also a good choice to join the relevant pregnancy support group or consulting experts. Through effective psychological adjustment, women's reproductive experience can be positively improved.
Summary:
Older childbirth has a series of damages to the mother, including increased complications during pregnancy, increased risk of delivery, later health problems and psychosocial pressure. Therefore, women should fully understand and consider these risks when choosing to give birth at an advanced age, and fully communicate and consult with doctors to ensure the safety and health of mothers and babies.
