Obesity makes pregnancy difficult for urban women

From a medical perspective, infertility means that a normal couple still fails to conceive within a year without using any contraceptive measures. Experts analyzed that the widespread phenomenon of late marriage and late childbearing, unhealthy modern lifestyles, huge work pressure and increasingly serious environmental pollution are the main reasons for the rapid increase in infertility rates.

Generally speaking, the best childbearing age for women is 25 to 28 years old. After over the age of 28, the cells in a woman's body have passed the peak period. As she ages, the quality of ovulation continues to decline, resulting in a great decline in fertility.

Dr. Zang Pingli, a successor of the "Southern Zang and Northern Yellow" school, said: Infertility now presents such a characteristic. The proportion of infertility caused by induced abortion is increasing. The reason is that there are many complications after induced abortion, coupled with lack of good rest, increasing the chance of infection. Moreover, the risk of miscarriage for older pregnant women is also greatly increased. According to statistics, about 15% of 30-year-old pregnant women will suffer miscarriage, while the risk is as high as 25% among 40-year-old pregnant women.

In addition, modern medical research shows that obesity can cause amenorrhea, irregular menstruation and infertility in women. Obese women are not only difficult to conceive, but also have more obstetric complications after pregnancy.

Among the many causes of infertility, in addition to physiological reasons, psychological reasons cannot be ignored. Neuroendocrinology research has confirmed that stimulation from adverse psychosocial factors such as long-term anxiety, depression or fear may be transmitted to the brain through nerves, and after a series of reactions, it will eventually make it difficult for women to conceive.

Zang Pingli believes that the main cause of infertility is the imbalance of love. It is necessary to adopt the theory of syndrome differentiation and treatment of traditional Chinese medicine, and adopt different treatment plans according to different periods, ages, seasons, physiques, etc. Zang Pingli reminded patients to express their inner depression, pain, anxiety, trauma and troubles when seeking medical treatment. As long as you correctly view your condition, recuperate quietly, and supplement it with medication, infertility can be cured. (Internship Editor: Jiang Yan)
