Older generation women's elderly childbearing increases the risk of related diseases
With the development of society, more and more women choose to postpone childbearing. Under the general environment of late marriage and late childbearing, the phenomenon of older generation women giving birth gradually increases. However, the elderly childbearing also brings a series of risks and challenges. This article will elaborate on the risk of diseases related to the increase of older women's fertility from four aspects: reproductive health, metabolic diseases, pregnancy complications and fetal development.
reproductive health
The fertility of women decreases with age. With the increase of age, the quality and quantity of female eggs will decrease, leading to a decline in the fertility of eggs, increasing the difficulty of pregnancy. At the same time, older generation women have a higher risk of abortion and infertility due to ovarian dysfunction. Therefore, women who give birth at an advanced age should pay more attention to reproductive health and carry out relevant inspection and intervention as soon as possible.
In addition, the older generation of women may also increase the risk of diseases such as uterine fibroids and ovarian cysts. After menopause, women's ovarian function gradually declines, and hormone changes will affect the normal function of the uterus and ovary. Therefore, the elderly pregnant women need to carry out prenatal examination regularly to find and deal with relevant gynecological diseases in a timely manner.
Metabolic disease
With the growth of age, older women are more likely to suffer from metabolic diseases, such as diabetes, hypertension and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. These diseases not only affect the patients' own health, but also have certain risks to the development of the fetus and the health of the mother and baby. The control and management of metabolic diseases are very important for elderly pregnant women, and factors such as drug treatment and lifestyle changes need to be comprehensively considered.
In addition, the older generation of women may also increase the risk of pregnancy with diabetes during pregnancy. Pregnancy with diabetes will increase the probability of fetal macrosomia, make the delivery process more complex, and increase the risk of maternal and infant health.
Pregnancy complications
The older generation of women also increased the risk of pregnancy complications. For example, older pregnant women are more likely to have complications such as pre eclampsia, polyhydramnios and oligohydramnios. These complications will not only affect the health of the mother, but also adversely affect the development and life safety of the fetus. Therefore, older pregnant women need to monitor and manage their pregnancy more closely.
In addition, the older generation of women may increase the risk of premature delivery, low birth weight infants and chromosomal abnormalities. The risk of chromosomal abnormalities in embryos increases with age. Therefore, the elderly pregnant women need to carry out relevant prenatal screening and genetic testing in order to find possible fetal problems as early as possible and make appropriate decisions.
Fetal development
The older generation of women who give birth at an advanced age will also have a certain impact on the development of the fetus. The older the pregnant woman is, the lower the birth weight of the fetus is, and the growth retardation and nervous system development abnormalities are more likely to occur after birth. Therefore, elderly pregnant women need to pay attention to supplement adequate nutrition, increase weight control, and ensure the healthy development of the fetus.
To sum up, the older generation of women's elderly childbearing increases the risk of related diseases. Reproductive health, metabolic diseases, pregnancy complications, fetal development and other aspects need the common attention and management of elderly pregnant women and doctors. By strengthening health education and regular inspection, relevant risks can be effectively reduced to ensure the safety and health of mothers and infants.
