Which diseases are related to elder childbearing?

With the development of society, more and more women choose to postpone childbearing, and the elderly childbearing has become a more common phenomenon. However, the elderly childbearing is also accompanied by a series of health risks, and some diseases are closely related to the elderly childbearing. This article will analyze which diseases are related to elder childbearing from four aspects, and introduce the practical experience of some relevant hospitals.

1. Hypertension and elder childbearing

Hypertension is a common disease, which is especially common among the elderly women who have given birth. In the process of pregnancy and childbirth, women are often accompanied by changes in hormone levels and increased cardiovascular burden, which is particularly difficult for older women. Older women are more likely to suffer from hypertension, which may increase the risk of complications during pregnancy, such as hypertensive disorder during pregnancy and pre eclampsia. Therefore, after careful evaluation and treatment, it is recommended that the elderly women should have a comprehensive physical examination before giving birth and give birth under the guidance of the hospital.

• Experts from Zhongshan Hospital said that they usually adopt individualized methods in the treatment of elderly reproductive patients, and formulate appropriate treatment plans according to the specific conditions of patients.
• Shanghai Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital also provides a special fertility diagnosis and treatment center for the elderly to provide comprehensive pre pregnancy and pregnancy care for the elderly.
• Peking Union Medical College Hospital helps elderly women reduce the risk of hypertension by providing specific diet and exercise guidance.

2. Diabetes and elderly childbearing

Diabetes is another common disease, which is also closely related to elderly childbearing. During pregnancy, changes in hormone and insulin levels may lead to elevated blood sugar, which is a challenge for older women with diabetes or gestational diabetes. Older women have a higher risk of gestational diabetes, which may lead to fetal abnormalities and other complications. Therefore, before birth planning for the elderly, it is recommended that women take glucose metabolism tests, and receive close monitoring and appropriate treatment during pregnancy.

• The diabetes expert team of Peking Union Medical College Hospital showed a high level of professionalism in treating diabetes and gestational diabetes in elderly women.
• West China Hospital has also set up a comprehensive diagnosis and treatment center for elderly childbearing and diabetes management to provide all-round care for patients.
• The gynecologist and obstetrician of Shanghai Renji Hospital also emphasized the importance of blood glucose monitoring and timely intervention for elderly pregnant women.

3. Uterus and ovary related diseases

Due to the aging of reproductive organs, older women are more likely to face the risk of uterus and ovary related diseases. For example, diseases such as endometriosis, polycystic ovary syndrome and ovarian function decline may lead to irregular menstruation, ovulation disorder and ovarian function decline, thus limiting the ability to conceive. For elderly women, these diseases may be more common and serious. Therefore, it is recommended to consult a gynecologist and carry out corresponding examination and treatment before considering childbearing.

• The gynaecological expert team of Peking Union Medical College Hospital has rich experience and shows a high professional level in the treatment of uterus and ovary related diseases.
• Shanghai Maternal and Child Health Hospital also carried out research on endometriosis and polycystic ovary syndrome, and provided corresponding diagnosis and treatment services.
• Guangzhou Women and Children's Medical Center has a team of gynecological and endocrinological experts to provide a wide range of medical services for elderly women.

4. Chromosome abnormalities and genetic diseases

The risk of chromosomal abnormalities in female eggs increases with age. Chromosome abnormalities and genetic diseases may lead to abnormal embryonic development and inevitable abortion, thus affecting the success rate of elderly childbearing. In order to reduce the risk of chromosomal abnormalities, genetic counseling and genetic examination are recommended. For older women who are already pregnant, appropriate prenatal screening and genetic testing can help to detect fetal abnormalities as early as possible and further intervene when necessary.

• Shanghai Children's Medical Center has a team of experts for genetic counseling and diagnosis and treatment of genetic diseases, providing all-round genetic services for elderly women who have given birth.
• Beijing Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital also provides a variety of genetic tests and prenatal diagnostic techniques to help elderly women carry out risk assessment and prenatal optimization.
• Guangzhou Women and Children's Medical Center also launched a genetic counseling center to provide personalized genetic risk assessment and counseling services for elderly pregnant women.

To sum up, elderly childbearing is closely related to a variety of diseases, including hypertension, diabetes, uterus and ovary related diseases, chromosome abnormalities and genetic diseases. In order to ensure the health of elderly pregnant women and fetuses, it is recommended to conduct comprehensive physical examination and assessment of related diseases before childbirth, so as to detect and deal with potential risks as early as possible. At the same time, timely consultation with professional medical institutions and individualized treatment and management according to doctors' suggestions can help elderly women successfully pass the pregnancy process and reduce the risk of related diseases.
