Background of the problem of elderly women

With the development of modern society, more and more women begin to postpone the age of childbearing, and the phenomenon of women over 35 years old has gradually increased. However, due to the changes in physiological functions and the growth of age, childbirth at the age of 35 is also known as the elderly parturient. This phenomenon has aroused widespread concern and discussion.

First of all, we need to define the elderly puerpera. Generally speaking, elderly mothers refer to women over 35 years of age, because women's fertility will decline with age. However, not all women who give birth at the age of 35 will face a higher risk, which is related to individual differences, physical conditions, living environment and other factors.

Physiological risks of elderly puerpera

Women over 35 years old have certain physiological risks in childbirth. First of all, the egg quality of women will decline with age, increasing the risk of complications during pregnancy and childbirth. Secondly, the uterus and pelvic organs of women will also age with age, which may affect the health of the fetus. In addition, the incidence of pregnancy complications such as gestational diabetes mellitus and gestational hypertension is also high in elderly women.

In view of these physiological risks, some hospitals have set up special departments for elderly mothers to provide comprehensive pre pregnancy inspection and pregnancy management to ensure the health of mothers and babies. These hospitals usually carry out detailed physical examination, blood, urine and ultrasound examination, as well as consultation and guidance on reasonable diet, exercise and rest of the lying in women. At the same time, doctors will also develop personalized treatment plans according to the specific conditions of the pregnant women to reduce risks.

Psychological and social pressure of elderly puerpera

In addition to physical risks, the elderly women also face psychological and social pressure. In China's traditional concept, women should marry and give birth when they are young, and women over 35 years old are often questioned and pressured by family and society to give birth.

In addition, due to the growth of age and the accumulation of life experience, there may be some differences between the elderly and young mothers in terms of personality, lifestyle, family status, etc. These differences may bring more psychological pressure and discomfort to the elderly women.

Therefore, the society should pay more attention to and understand the plight of elderly mothers, and provide necessary support and help. At the same time, elderly mothers also need to learn to release pressure, maintain a positive and sunny attitude, pay attention to physical and mental health, and communicate with doctors and family members.

epilogue

To sum up, women over 35 years old who give birth are called elderly mothers, and their physiological risks are related to age, including decreased egg quality and increased risk of pregnancy complications. At the same time, the elderly women also face psychological and social pressure. However, through the professional support of the hospital and personal efforts, the elderly mothers can still get healthy pregnancy and a happy mother child life.
