The first reason: the pace of life is fast, and women have to give up what they should.
"Raising children to guard against old age" and "having more children and more happiness" are traditional concepts that have been circulated in China for thousands of years. With the development of society, this concept is also changing quietly. Especially for urban women, there are more choices before them, so their concept of fertility has changed greatly with the fashion trend.
The reporter once talked with some women who decided not to have children. These 30-year-old women have different ideas, but to sum up, they mainly have the following points:
I feel that work and study are stressful and time is tight, so I have no time to care about having children. Ms. Gu told the reporter: "I am now a middle-level manager of the enterprise, and my work itself is very busy. At the same time, I'm still a graduate student, and 24 hours a day is not enough for me. Besides, if I go home to have a baby now, it's hard to say whether the position of the company can be kept for me after I come back. "
Some people think that the economic foundation is not solid enough, and having children will affect the quality of life now. Ms. Luo, 29, is a supporter of this view. She said: "At present, we haven't saved enough money. If we have children, it will definitely affect the quality of life now. " There is also a view that asexual marriage is the reason why women don't have children. Ms. Zhang told reporters frankly: "My wife and I are very busy. We go to work separately every morning. Sometimes I fall asleep at night. He hasn't come home yet. We seldom eat together for a month. How can you have time to have children? "
Reason 2: I am at the best reproductive age, but I am not pregnant.
When the reporter visited the Reproductive Medicine Center of Peking University Third Hospital, Professor Qiaojie told the reporter a case: a child got married at the age of 26, and the young couple planned to have children the next year. However, there was no movement in the child's stomach. Later, the two went to the hospital for examination. As a result, the doctor said that the child's endocrine was seriously out of balance, resulting in no ovulation at all! Children are flight attendants and often fly international flights. The upside-down life day and night, coupled with great mental pressure, made her endocrine disorder unconsciously. Professor Qiao Jie told reporters that there are not a few women who are at the best reproductive age but can't get pregnant.
There are two reasons for this:
The first is that children, like children, have reproductive system diseases caused by environmental factors or other diseases, leading to infertility. Experts believe that the reproductive health of seven professional women, such as computer operators, medical staff, chemical workers, laboratory technicians, textile workers, salespeople and flight attendants, is more vulnerable to damage due to the working environment. Experts believe that women's reproductive health should include pregnancy, safe pregnancy, giving birth to healthy children and contraception. Pelvic inflammatory disease, endometriosis and hysteromyoma, which are common in gynecological clinic, are killers threatening women's reproductive health, and more than 50% of women are infertile because of these diseases.
In addition, Professor Qiao Jie particularly emphasized that among such patients, there is a phenomenon that should be concerned, that is, premature ovarian failure in women. Judging from the clinical cases, women's ovarian function has been declining recently. A few years ago, the menopause of women in China was generally around 50 years old, but in recent years, the problem of premature ovarian failure has become more and more serious, and many women under the age of 35 have begun to decline their ovarian function.
The second reason is abnormal tubal function. A very important reason for not being pregnant is abnormal tubal function. Although some patients have no history of abortion or serious infection, it is difficult to get pregnant, which may be related to having tuberculosis as a child. Women's fallopian tubes are vulnerable to tuberculosis virus attacks. Some tuberculosis with no clinical manifestations and abdominal tuberculosis can be combined with genital tuberculosis to cause tubal obstruction. According to Professor Qiaojie, this situation may account for 30%-40% of tubal obstructive infertility.
Reason three: it is easy to get pregnant, but you can't keep children.
In addition to not wanting to have children and not being pregnant, being pregnant but not keeping children is also one of the reasons for the decline in female fertility rate. For those who want to be mothers, the most painful thing is to have a child, but in the end they can't keep it. Professor Xiangyang told reporters that there are many cases where children can't be saved, and the reasons vary from person to person. Clinically, spontaneous abortion accounts for about 10% of the total number of pregnancies. In addition, it is more common to stop production, that is, the embryo stops developing in the uterus and eventually dies; Pregnancy-induced hypertension (pregnancy-induced hypertension syndrome), high blood pressure of pregnant women, leading to fetal death in the third trimester; Threatened abortion induced by mental stress and psychological stress.
There are several main reasons for these phenomena: genetic factors, which is one of the most important reasons for spontaneous abortion; Self-factors, such as reproductive tract malformation, uterine malformation, ovarian insufficiency, etc. Immune factors, such as blood incompatibility between parents, prevent the fetus from staying in the mother's body. In recent ten years, the proportion of spontaneous abortion has increased. Xiangyang believes that this is mainly due to the increase of elderly women and people with abortion experience. Chen Qian, deputy director of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of the First Hospital of Peking University, told the reporter that 60%-70% of the outpatients in their hospital had had abortion surgery. Here, experts remind women of childbearing age to do a good job of contraception and protect their reproductive organs so as not to leave regrets. In addition, if you have habitual abortion, you should go to the hospital for examination first to find out the symptoms of abortion.
At the end of the interview, several experts told reporters with deep feelings that the low fertility rate of urban women is inextricably linked with modern life. This is an era of rapid development. While women are becoming more and more independent, their bodies and minds are constantly under great pressure, so giving birth to children is a very serious matter. Therefore, every responsible woman will not make a decision easily. Finally, experts remind women that it is very important to pay attention to reproductive health and develop good living habits regardless of family planning.
