Is 35 a senior birth age?
With the rapid development of society, more and more women choose to postpone childbearing, which also makes "elder childbearing" a topic of concern. So, does 35 years old belong to the elderly childbearing? Will fertility decline? This article will elaborate on this issue from four aspects: age factor, ovarian function, pregnancy rate and pregnancy risk.
Age factor
The fertility of women is greatly affected by age. With the increase of age, the ovarian function of women gradually declines. Although fertility varies from person to person, in general, women's fertility will decline significantly after the age of 35. This is mainly because the number and quality of female eggs will decrease with the increase of age, and the fertility of eggs will also become worse.
In addition, with the increase of age, the number of eggs that can be fertilized in the female ovary will also decrease, leading to a reduced chance of pregnancy. A study shows that 35 year old women have only 15% chance of getting pregnant every month, but it drops to about 5% when they are 40 years old.
However, not every woman will encounter fertility problems immediately after the age of 35. Some women's physical condition may still be very suitable for childbirth, and they can successfully conceive and have healthy babies in their later years. Therefore, 35 years old is only a rough watershed, and the specific situation needs to be evaluated by doctors.
ovarian function
Ovary is an important part of female fertility, which is mainly responsible for ovulation and estrogen secretion. With the growth of age, the ovarian function gradually declined, the number of follicles decreased, and the quality of eggs declined.
The decline of ovarian function will lead to the unstable menstrual cycle, frequent delay or advance, and even the condition that menstruation does not come. This limits women's ability to conceive, and also increases the difficulty of pregnancy.
Therefore, the fertility of 35 year old women may decline in ovarian function, which is why many doctors would recommend that women complete childbirth before the age of 35.
Pregnancy rate
Pregnancy rate is one of the important indicators to measure female fertility. After the age of 35, the pregnancy rate of women has significantly decreased. This is mainly because the decline in egg quality leads to the weakening of fertilization ability, and also increases the risk of chromosomal abnormalities.
After 35 years old, the proportion of chromosomal abnormalities in female eggs also showed an upward trend. Chromosome abnormalities will lead to abnormal embryonic development, which will inevitably lead to early abortion or fetal malformation. Therefore, the risk of miscarriage of women after 35 years of age is significantly increased.
Although the ability to conceive and the rate of pregnancy decrease with the increase of age, it does not mean that after the age of 35, you cannot conceive at all. With the progress of medical technology, many women can still successfully conceive and give birth after the age of 35.
Pregnancy risk
Women who become pregnant after the age of 35 face more pregnancy risks. Because of the aging of the body and the decline of the quality of eggs, women after 35 years old are more likely to have early pregnancy abortion, placental dysfunction, fetal Down syndrome and other problems.
In addition, women who are pregnant after the age of 35 also face a higher risk of postpartum complications, such as hypertension, gestational diabetes, oligohydramnios, etc. These factors make pregnancy and childbirth more complicated and dangerous.
To sum up, the age of 35 is an important node for women's fertility to begin to decline, but it does not mean that after the age of 35, there will be no fertility at all. Every woman's physical condition is different. Some people can still successfully conceive and give birth to healthy babies after the age of 35. However, it is very important for women who plan to postpone childbearing to consult a doctor as early as possible, understand their physical condition and fertility, and formulate a reasonable birth plan.
Summary
35 years old is a period of time for the elderly to give birth. The fertility of women will decline with age, which is mainly manifested in the decline of ovarian function, the reduction of pregnancy rate and the increase of pregnancy risk. However, not every woman will encounter fertility problems immediately after the age of 35. The specific situation needs to be evaluated by doctors. It is very important for women after the age of 35 to consult doctors as early as possible, understand their own situation, and formulate reasonable birth plans.
