Disadvantages of moxibustion for elderly childbearing

With the development of society and the progress of medical technology, more and more people choose to delay childbearing, especially for the elderly. However, although moxibustion, as a traditional Chinese medicine therapy, may help elderly women to become pregnant to a certain extent, it has some potential disadvantages. This article will analyze the disadvantages of moxibustion for elderly childbearing from the aspects of physical health, psychological pressure, social impact and economic burden.

Physical health problems

First of all, moxibustion may bring certain risks to women's physical health. While the female reproductive system is aging, the risk of disease is also increasing. Moxibustion treatment may need to be carried out in a relatively long period of time, which may cause a certain burden on women's bodies. In addition, the hot temperature used in the moxibustion process may also cause certain irritation to women's skin, increasing the risk of infection.

Secondly, moxibustion at an advanced age may also increase the risk of pregnancy complications for women. Due to the relatively weak physique of older pregnant women, they are faced with more risks of pregnancy complications. Moxibustion treatment may cause some physiological reactions in the body, increasing the incidence of complications such as improper weight gain of pregnant women, placental dysfunction, etc.

*Later, moxibustion at an advanced age may lead to health problems of the fetus. Research shows that the babies born by older pregnant women have higher fetal distress, congenital malformations and other problems. Moxibustion may have a certain impact on the temperature of pregnant women, increasing the risk of these fetal health problems.

Psychological pressure

In the process of giving birth to the elderly by moxibustion, women often need to face huge psychological pressure. First of all, because of the high risk of childbirth at an advanced age, women need to bear the challenge and pressure from family, friends and society. Secondly, because there is no guarantee that moxibustion can succeed, women may be in a state of anxiety and worry for a long time, further increasing the psychological burden. This long-term psychological pressure may have a negative impact on women's physical and mental health.

social influence

Moxibustion at an advanced age may also bring about a series of social impacts. First, old childbearing may lead to unstable family structure. Because the children born at an advanced age will have a relatively short time after marriage, and the parents are older, it may bring uncertainty to the children's education and growth. Secondly, moxibustion at an advanced age may also lead to increased family economic burden. Children born at an advanced age need more care and resource investment, which may bring greater economic pressure to older parents.

financial burden

Moxibustion is also an extremely expensive medical option. Moxibustion treatment may require multiple visits, purchase of moxibustion materials, etc., which requires a large amount of economic investment. At the same time, the success of moxibustion does not guarantee that elderly women will be able to successfully conceive, which means that women may have to bear the cost of multiple treatments. For some women with poor economic conditions, this may be a heavy economic burden.

Summary

Moxibustion has certain disadvantages while pursuing fertility desire. From the aspects of physical health, psychological pressure, social impact and economic burden, moxibustion may bring a series of negative effects on women's physical and mental health and family. Therefore, when considering giving birth to the elderly by moxibustion, women need to fully understand the risks and fully communicate and make decisions with doctors.
