The current situation of elderly childbearing
With the improvement of people's living standards and the continuous improvement of the social pension system, more and more couples choose to postpone the childbearing age and pursue better economic conditions and career development. However, there are also some problems and challenges in elder childbearing. First of all, with the growth of age, women's fertility will gradually decline, which is prone to infertility or abortion. Secondly, childbirth at an advanced age will also increase the health risks of mothers and infants, such as the probability of pregnancy complications and birth defects. In addition, the physical recovery of the elderly women is also relatively slow, and they are prone to psychological problems such as postpartum depression.
In order to solve the problem of elder childbearing, we need to expand the childbearing space and provide more support and guidance.
Strengthen the popularization of fertility knowledge
In order to help couples understand the risks and challenges of elder childbearing, hospitals can carry out fertility knowledge popularization activities. Through holding lectures, publishing publicity materials and other ways, the public can be introduced to the relevant knowledge of elderly childbearing, including the impact of age on fertility, the risks of elderly childbearing, and possible preventive measures that need to be taken. In addition, new media platforms such as WeChat official account and short video can also be used to expand the coverage of knowledge popularization.
In addition, the hospital can organize relevant experts to carry out free clinic activities and provide opportunities for consultation and answering questions. Through communication with professionals, couples can have a more comprehensive understanding of the problems and solutions of elder childbearing.
Optimizing assisted reproductive technology
Assisted reproductive technology is an important choice for the elderly. At present, the assisted reproductive technologies that hospitals can use include IVF and egg freezing. IVF technology can help infertile couples achieve their fertility aspirations, while egg freezing technology can help women delay their childbearing age and retain their fertility in young age.
In order to expand the scope of application of assisted reproductive technology, hospitals can increase scientific research investment, improve technical level and constantly optimize technology. At the same time, the government can also increase the support for assisted reproductive technology research and expand the application fields of technology. Through scientific and technological innovation, we can improve the fertility success rate and reduce the risk of elderly childbearing.
Establish a sound security mechanism
Older childbearing needs more care and protection. The hospital can cooperate with all sectors of society to establish a complete security mechanism. First, we should establish a sound prevention and treatment system, strengthen the pre pregnancy inspection and prenatal inspection, and timely identify and deal with possible risks. Secondly, we need to improve relevant policies, provide more benefits and subsidies for elderly mothers, and protect their living and medical rights and interests. In addition, the hospital can also carry out mental health counseling and post natal rehabilitation services to pay attention to the physical and mental health of pregnant women.
Summary
The expansion of elderly childbearing needs comprehensive consideration and efforts from many aspects. Strengthening the popularization of fertility knowledge can improve couples' fertility awareness and cognitive level; Optimizing assisted reproductive technology can improve the success rate of elderly childbearing; The establishment of a sound security mechanism can provide more support and security for elderly mothers. Only through joint efforts can we effectively expand the space for elderly childbearing and meet the childbearing needs of couples.
