Is 36 years old a senior puerpera?

For women, childbearing age is an important decision, and the growth of age is often accompanied by a series of physiological changes. So, does 36 years old count as an elderly woman? What are the effects on fertility? This article will discuss from four aspects: age and fertility, medical perspective, psychological perspective and hospital practice.

Age and fertility

With the growth of age, women's fertility will gradually decline. From the medical point of view, the quality, quantity and ovulation function of women's eggs will decrease with the increase of age, which will lead to a decline in fertility. Generally speaking, it is more difficult for women to conceive after the age of 35, and the risk of miscarriage and chromosomal abnormalities will also increase, which is one of the reasons why 36 years old women are regarded as elderly mothers.

However, everyone's physiological condition is different. Some women still maintain good fertility at the age of 36, while some women may have fertility problems at the age of 20. Therefore, it is not accurate to take the age of 36 as the only criterion for fertility.

Impact from medical perspective

In addition to the decline in fertility, 36 year old women may also face some risks and challenges during pregnancy and childbirth. For example, problems such as gestational diabetes, pregnancy induced hypertension and fetal dysplasia are more common in older women. In addition, the proportion of cesarean section may be required during delivery will also increase.

However, the progress of modern medical technology enables the elderly mothers to reduce risks and deliver successfully through more sophisticated screening, standardized prenatal examination and the assistance of professional obstetric medical teams. Therefore, although the age of 36 is a key age node, it does not mean that children cannot be born smoothly.

Influence of psychological perspective

At the age of 36, women may face pressure from society, family and individuals, especially those who want to become mothers as soon as possible. The growth of age may make them feel anxious, worried and stressed. This kind of psychological burden not only has an impact on their physical health, but also may have a negative impact on pregnancy and child growth.

Therefore, for 36 year old women, when deciding whether to give birth or not, they need to consider their physical health and mental state comprehensively and choose the right time for themselves and their families.

Hospital practice and summary

In actual hospital practice, doctors will evaluate and improve fertility based on women's specific conditions and combined with assisted reproductive technologies such as in vitro fertilization and other means. Some regular hospitals usually include women over 35 years old into the management scope of elderly mothers, and give more careful inspection and attention.

To sum up, 36 years old is not the absolute age of infertility, but it does have some impact on fertility. Women should consider their physiological status, health risks and psychological pressure when deciding to give birth, and make appropriate decisions under the guidance of professional doctors. The important thing is to keep a positive attitude, reasonably arrange the birth plan, and welcome the arrival of new life in a good state.
