Physiological conditions of elderly childbearing

With the development of modern society, more and more women choose to conceive and give birth at an advanced age. However, with the growth of age, women's physiological conditions have also changed. The physiological conditions of elder childbearing will be elaborated from four aspects below.

1. Egg quality

Women only excrete one egg per month, and the quality of eggs will gradually decline with age. Women's eggs before the age of 30 usually have good quality, but after the age of 30, the quality will decline faster. The decrease in egg quality may lead to chromosomal abnormalities, thus increasing the risk of pregnancy failure, abortion and congenital diseases.

In addition, women will have more egg immune problems when they are old. The problem of egg immunity will cause the immune system to attack the normal fertilized eggs, further reducing the probability of successful pregnancy.

2. Uterine condition

The condition of uterus is also one of the physiological conditions that affect the fertility of the elderly. With the increase of age, the endometrium will gradually become thinner and the blood supply will be reduced, thus affecting the implantation of fertilized eggs and the growth of the fetus. In addition, the incidence of diseases such as hysteromyoma, endometriosis and adenomyosis will also increase with age, which may lead to increased infertility or fertility risks.

3. Risk of pregnancy complications

Older women who give birth are more likely to suffer from pregnancy complications, such as gestational diabetes, hypertension and placental dysfunction. These complications will affect the health of mother and fetus, and increase the risk of premature delivery, low birth weight and neonatal death.

Gestational diabetes is one of the common complications, and the probability of older women suffering from gestational diabetes is significantly increased. Gestational diabetes will lead to increased blood sugar, increasing the risk of fetal macrosomia, dystocia, fetal malformation, etc.

4. Psychological and emotional conditions

Older women who give birth may face more psychological and emotional pressure. With the growth of age, women tend to worry about fertility and fetal health. This worry and anxiety may have a negative impact on the body, affecting the quality of eggs and the uterine environment. Therefore, a good psychological state is very important for the elderly childbearing.

Before choosing to give birth at an advanced age, women should fully understand their physiological conditions and have a detailed discussion and evaluation with doctors. At the same time, reasonable diet, proper exercise, good mental state and regular physical examination are also important factors to maintain reproductive health.

summary

The physiological conditions of elder childbearing include egg quality, uterine status, risk of pregnancy complications and psychological and emotional status. With the increase of age, the quality of eggs decreases, the condition of uterus gradually worsens, and the risk of pregnancy complications increases. At the same time, psychological and emotional conditions also have a certain impact on elderly childbearing. Therefore, women should make full physiological evaluation and psychological preparation before giving birth at an advanced age, and adopt an active lifestyle to maintain good physical and mental health.
