People most afraid of giving birth at an advanced age
With the progress of society and the change of people's ideas, the elderly childbearing has become an increasingly common phenomenon. Although the development of modern medicine makes it more feasible to give birth at an advanced age, some people still face higher risks and challenges due to physical conditions or other factors. This article will elaborate on the population most afraid of childbearing at an advanced age from four aspects.
Patients with cardiovascular disease
Cardiovascular disease is one of the most feared groups for elderly childbearing. The heart is the pump of the human body and plays a vital role in the nutrient supply of the embryo. However, the aging will lead to the decline of heart function and weaken the ability to support embryonic development. Especially those with cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension and coronary heart disease are more likely to have complications and pregnancy and childbirth risks.
Moreover, hormonal changes and increased load during pregnancy will further increase the pressure on the cardiovascular system and increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. Therefore, patients with cardiovascular diseases need to be particularly cautious when giving birth at an advanced age, and accept the full guidance and supervision of professional cardiovascular doctors.
Patients with chronic diseases
People with chronic diseases are also one of the most afraid groups of elderly childbearing. Chronic diseases such as diabetes and kidney disease will affect the functions of various systems of the body, including the reproductive system. The normal function of the reproductive system is crucial to the pregnancy of healthy fetuses, while chronic diseases may lead to problems such as decreased ovarian function, abnormal intrauterine environment, etc.
In addition to being harmful to the mother, chronic diseases may also be passed on to the next generation through heredity, increasing the risk of neonatal disease. Therefore, people with chronic diseases should seek the advice of professional doctors to assess their physical conditions and fertility risks before deciding to give birth at an advanced age.
Threatened abortion and preterm birth history
Those with threatened abortion and preterm birth history are also one of the most afraid groups of elderly childbearing. Threatened abortion refers to the occurrence of abdominal pain, vaginal bleeding or other symptoms during pregnancy, which indicates the possible loss of embryos. Premature birth history refers to the past experience of premature birth.
The elderly childbirth itself will increase the risk of threatened abortion and premature delivery of pregnant women. For those with a history of preterm birth, because the function of the uterus has been damaged, pregnancy again is likely to lead to the recurrence of preterm birth. Therefore, those with threatened abortion and preterm birth history need to pay special attention to the pregnancy process when giving birth at an advanced age, and receive adequate examination and treatment in the early stage.
Low ovarian reserve
Low ovarian reserve refers to the decrease in the number of available eggs in the female ovary, which is usually manifested by the decrease in the level of follicle stimulating hormone (AMH). Those with low ovarian reserve not only have difficulty in ovulation, but also can enter menopause in advance. Such people have a low probability of natural pregnancy and often need assisted reproductive technology, such as IVF.
For those with low ovarian reserve, the dual risk of elderly childbearing is greater. First, the number of follicles is limited, and the aging will further accelerate the decline of ovarian function. Secondly, due to the low quality of the reduced eggs, the probability of successful pregnancy and healthy pregnancy is correspondingly reduced. Therefore, people with low ovarian reserve need to consult with professional reproductive doctors to evaluate appropriate fertility programs.
Summary
The population most afraid of giving birth at an advanced age mainly includes patients with cardiovascular diseases, patients with chronic diseases, those with threatened abortion and preterm birth history, and those with low ovarian reserve. These people face higher risks and challenges when they give birth at an advanced age. Therefore, before deciding to give birth at an advanced age, they must fully understand their own physical conditions, actively consult doctors, and accept professional monitoring and treatment to ensure their own and fetal health.
