Whether elder childbearing affects wife's fertility
With the social progress and the improvement of people's living standards, more and more women choose to postpone childbearing, which makes the phenomenon of elderly childbearing more and more common in modern society. However, people hold different views on whether the elderly childbearing will affect the wife's fertility. This article will elaborate on this issue from the aspects of physical health, reduction of ovarian reserve, increased risk of disease, complications and fetal health.
Physical health
As women grow older, their physical conditions will change, and the functions of various organs of the body will gradually decline, including the reproductive system. Some studies have found that with the increase of age, women's ovarian function declines, and the possibility of irregular or anovulatory ovulation increases. This may lead to difficulties in pregnancy and even decline in sexual function of elderly women, thus indirectly affecting fertility. In addition, older women may face more health problems, such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, etc. These chronic diseases may have an impact on pregnancy and fetal health.
However, everyone's physical condition is different, and different elderly women also have differences in their physical health. Some women can reduce adverse effects and delay aging by maintaining good living habits, such as healthy diet, moderate exercise and regular physical examination. Therefore, elderly women may also maintain good physical conditions without significantly affecting their fertility.
Decreased ovarian reserve
Female ovarian reserve is an important index to measure ovarian function. With the increase of age, women's ovarian reserve gradually decreases. The reduction of ovarian reserve plays a key role in successful pregnancy and fetal health. Therefore, the fertility of older women may be affected.
In a study in a regular hospital in China, it was found that the pregnancy rate of women over 35 years old was significantly lower than that of young women. This is because with the increase of age, the female ovarian reserve decreases, the number of follicles decreases, the quality of egg quality decreases, and the risk of oocyte chromosome abnormalities increases, leading to difficulty in pregnancy and increased abortion rate.
Increased risk of disease
As women grow older, their risk of disease increases. Women are more likely to suffer from chronic diseases when they are old, such as hypertension, diabetes, breast cancer, etc. These diseases may affect the function of female reproductive organs and lead to fertility decline. In addition, the drugs used for treatment of elderly women after illness may have adverse effects on the fetus, further affecting fertility.
Therefore, regular physical examination and active treatment of chronic diseases are very important for the elderly women who have given birth. At the same time, according to the doctor's suggestion, we can make a decision on whether it is suitable for childbirth according to the actual situation of individuals.
Complications and fetal health
The incidence of pregnancy complications in older women is higher than that in younger women. For example, hypertension during pregnancy, gestational diabetes, placenta previa, etc., these complications may lead to health problems of pregnant women and fetuses. Especially for women over 40 years old, the risk of congenital abnormalities in their fetuses will also increase significantly.
Therefore, elderly women need to fully understand these complications and risks when considering childbirth, and seek professional doctor's advice. Doctors will assess the health status of pregnant women and fetuses according to their personal conditions, and provide corresponding guidance and health care measures.
Summary
To sum up, the elderly childbearing may have a certain impact on women's fertility. Physical health, decreased ovarian reserve, increased risk of disease, complications, fetal health and other factors may affect the fertility of elderly women. However, everyone's situation is different. Some women can still maintain certain fertility by maintaining good physical condition and actively treating chronic diseases. Therefore, for women who have given birth at an advanced age, it is necessary to comprehensively consider their personal physical conditions and doctors' suggestions and make wise decisions.
