The influence of elderly childbearing on maternal breast health
With the development of social economy and the improvement of people's living standards, more and more women choose to postpone childbearing, which leads to the increase of the elderly fertility rate. However, the elderly childbirth has an important impact on the breast health of pregnant women. This article will elaborate on the impact of elderly childbirth on maternal breast health from the aspects of breast cancer risk, breast tissue changes, children's breastfeeding needs and postpartum rehabilitation.
Breast cancer risk
There is a certain correlation between the elderly childbearing and the occurrence of breast cancer. Research shows that women's breast tissue gradually ages with age, and the risk of breast cancer also increases accordingly. The risk of breast cancer is further increased due to changes in the intrauterine environment, fluctuations in hormone levels, chronic mastitis and other factors in the elderly pregnant women. Especially for first-time mothers, the risk of breast cancer is more prominent than that of early childbearing. Therefore, the elderly pregnant women should pay more attention to the breast health, and conduct regular breast examinations.
In addition, the selection of screening methods should also be paid attention to when the elderly parturients are screening for breast cancer. For elderly women with relatively loose breast tissue, traditional mammography may be difficult to find small masses, so breast ultrasound or magnetic resonance imaging can be selected to improve the detection rate.
Breast tissue changes
Due to the aging of breast tissue and the increase of redundant fat, the shape and organizational structure of the breast will change to a certain extent. Breast will become loose and sagging, and it is easy to cause problems such as breast redundant skin and lengthening. These changes not only affect the appearance, but also may affect the normal function of the breast, increasing the risk of breast disease.
In order to improve the appearance of the breast and protect the health of the breast, the elderly pregnant women can choose to have breast plastic surgery. Breast plastic surgery can improve the shape and structure of the breast, enhance the tightness and uplift of the breast, and thus improve the appearance of the breast. At the same time, puerpera can also protect breast health by correctly wearing a bra, carrying out breast massage and exercising breast muscles after delivery.
Breastfeeding needs of children
There is a certain difference in postpartum lactation needs between the elderly and young mothers. Due to the slow postpartum recovery and weak physical resistance of elderly mothers, there may be insufficient milk secretion and poor quality. At the same time, the breastfeeding movements of elderly mothers may not be flexible enough, and the lack of experience in baby rearing may lead to difficulties in breastfeeding.
In view of these problems, pregnant women can actively prepare for pregnancy before delivery, and prepare for postpartum rehabilitation in advance, including reasonable diet conditioning, balanced nutrition intake, and physical strengthening. At the same time, pregnant women can also learn prenatal breast feeding knowledge and train prenatal breast massage during pregnancy to improve their own breast feeding ability.
postpartum recovery
The importance of postpartum rehabilitation for the elderly can not be ignored. Due to the decline of physical function of the elderly parturient, the recovery process is slower, and more attention should be paid to rest and recuperation. During postpartum rehabilitation, the puerpera can carry out breast dredging massage, postpartum gymnastics and other activities to promote breast patency and milk discharge, and prevent the occurrence of breast diseases.
In addition, the puerpera can also accelerate their recovery by eating a balanced diet, increasing protein intake, and supplementing appropriate nutrients. At the same time, properly arranged postpartum rest and sleep will help improve the immunity and resistance of the pregnant women and maintain a good mental state.
Summary
The elderly childbearing has a significant impact on the breast health of pregnant women. The risk of breast cancer of the elderly pregnant women increases, breast tissue and morphology change, lactation demand is difficult, and postpartum recovery is slow. Therefore, the elderly pregnant women need to pay more attention to breast health, carry out regular breast examinations, and actively carry out breast health care and rehabilitation measures to maintain the health and function of the breast.
