The Influence of Male Elderly Childbearing on the Health of Wife and Children
With the progress of society, men generally believed that only women would face the limit of childbearing age. However, nowadays more and more men have delayed their birth plans. However, the elderly childbearing of men will also have a series of impacts on the health of wives and children. This article will elaborate from four aspects: fertility problems, child development, wife's physical and mental health, and family stability.
1. Fertility
Male elder childbearing is usually accompanied by an increase in fertility problems. Research shows that the increase of male age will lead to the decline of sperm quality, including sperm quantity, motility, morphology and structure. These problems will increase the risk of wife's pregnancy failure, premature delivery, low birth weight infants, etc. In addition, older men will also increase the probability of children's genetic defects, such as cleft lip and palate, congenital heart disease, etc. These problems will bring long-term challenges to children's health and life.
In addition, older men may also lead to increased complications during pregnancy. During the pregnancy of the wife, the elderly male will increase the risk of pregnant women suffering from gestational diabetes, pregnancy induced hypertension and other diseases. These complications may have a long-term impact on the health of mothers and infants, and even increase the risk of premature delivery, fetal death and other adverse outcomes.
The fertility problems brought about by the elderly male childbirth need to be paid attention to. Both husband and wife should consult the doctor in advance to understand the related reproductive risks so as to make a wise decision.
2. Child development
The elderly male childbearing will also have a certain impact on the development of children. The study found that there was a negative correlation between the growth of father's age and children's intellectual development and academic performance. Older fathers may increase the risk of children suffering from autism, schizophrenia and other psychological and developmental disorders. In addition, the father's old age may also affect the child's physical development, increasing the child's risk of obesity, hypertension and other diseases.
To solve these problems, fathers can reduce risks by improving their lifestyle, such as eating a balanced diet, exercising moderately, and reducing smoking and drinking. In addition, fathers should also attach importance to the establishment of early parent-child relationship, actively participate in the growth and education of children, and provide a good learning and living environment for children.
3. Wife's physical and mental health
Male elderly childbearing may also have a certain impact on the wife's physical and mental health. During pregnancy, women need to bear more pressure and burden. Older fathers may increase the risk of psychological problems such as depression and anxiety during pregnancy. In addition, the pregnant wife also needs to endure pain and discomfort for a longer time. In addition, the elderly father may increase the risk of complications, which makes the wife face greater physical pressure.
In order to ensure his wife's physical and mental health, men should actively participate in the care and preparation during pregnancy, and give her enough support and care. In addition, both husband and wife should have regular physical examination to find and deal with potential health problems as soon as possible, so as to reduce the risk of complications.
4. Family stability
Older male childbearing may also have an impact on family stability. With the growth of age, men are more likely to face various problems such as occupational pressure and economic pressure. Men may fall into the dilemma between career development and family responsibilities, resulting in poor family stability.
In order to maintain the stability of the family, both husband and wife should strengthen communication and understanding, and negotiate to solve various problems. Men should also do a good job in career planning, provide stable economic support for the family, and ensure the material and spiritual needs of the family.
Summary
The impact of male elderly childbearing on the health of wives and children is mainly reflected in fertility problems, child development, wife's physical and mental health, and family stability. Older men who give birth will increase the risk of fertility problems, which may lead to genetic defects in children and increased complications during pregnancy. In addition, the advanced age of men will also affect children's intellectual development and physical health, increase the risk of wife's psychological problems, and affect family stability.
Therefore, men should fully understand the relevant risks and impacts when considering childbearing, discuss with their wives and make wise decisions together. At the same time, men also need to pay attention to their own health status, improve their lifestyle, improve their awareness and responsibility of childbirth and children's education, and be responsible for the health and happiness of the whole family.
