With the change of concept, many women are reluctant to have children because of their body shape and other reasons, but it is a Chinese tradition to pass on the family, so many women are torn between having and not having children. Here are a few of the benefits of women having children, after reading you may no longer be torn.
1, reduce breast problems
Numerous sources show that breastfeeding can reduce the risk of breast cancer, and not having children is an important risk factor for the development of breast cancer! Likewise, women who do not have children are more likely to develop breast enlargement and other benign breast diseases than women who have experienced pregnancy and childbirth in a long-term “non-confrontational” high estrogen environment.
2. Say “goodbye” to menstrual cramps
Soon after childbirth, menstruation will resume again. This time, however, there is a welcome change: the annoying menstrual cramps are reduced or even largely gone. This is a very common phenomenon, but no one knows the exact cause. One theory is that childbirth eliminates certain prostaglandin receptor sites in the uterus. Prostaglandins are hormones with multiple functions, one of which is to cause the uterus to contract during movement, which is one of the causes of menstrual cramps. The result? Naturally, the fewer pain-causing points, the less pain there will be.
3. Reduce the chance of fibroids
This common “hormone-dependent” benign tumor in women is more likely to occur in women who have never experienced childbirth in their lives than in those who have had children in due course, and their chances of eventually needing surgery are greatly increased ……
4. Can treat endometriosis
This is also a disease that is closely related to a woman’s fertility status. Although the mechanism of this disease is still unknown to modern medicine, one thing is for sure, that is, if the affected woman’s cycle of ovulation is aborted, the “progress” of the disease will also be strongly curbed! Therefore, pregnancy and childbirth at the right time is even the most effective and least side effect way to “cure” the problem. This is also one of the treatments recommended by gynecologists.
5.Reducing the chance of endometrial cancer
During pregnancy, due to the need of “stabilizing” the embryonic environment, the endometrium also suspends its cyclic exfoliation and bleeding, and the epithelial cells of the endometrium undergo the process of damage – repair – re-damage – repair again, which is necessary during the menstrual cycle. The process of damage – repair – re-damage – re-repair of endometrial epithelial cells during the menstrual cycle is temporarily stopped, and the chance of cancer is reduced.
According to research, endometrial cancer is more common in women with high income and no children, and is often accompanied by metabolic diseases such as obesity, diabetes and hypertension.
6.Reduce the chance of ovarian cancer
The relationship between pregnancy and the reduced incidence of breast cancer is well documented. Based on the fact that women’s ovaries automatically stop ovulating during pregnancy, experts deduce that women who ovulate less are less likely to develop breast or ovarian cancer. Mothers who have never conceived or breastfed are more likely to develop ovarian cancer.
Some information shows that women who have children after the age of 35 have a 58% lower chance of developing ovarian cancer than women of the same age who have never given birth.
7.Increase immunity
Research data in the literature shows that if a woman has one complete pregnancy in her life, she can increase her immunity for 10 years, and this immunity is mainly for gynecological tumors. Many gynecological diseases, such as breast cancer and endometriosis, are related to women’s fertility because infertile women do not receive timely and effective protection from progesterone. At the same time, experts also found that women who have not given birth are prone to hormone-dependent diseases, such as uterine fibroids and endometriosis, and the incidence of benign ovarian tumors and ovarian cancer in women who have not given birth is correspondingly higher than in women who have given birth.
8.Sense becomes more sensitive
Pregnancy seems to enhance your sense of smell and even taste. Of course, such an acute sense of smell in the early stages of pregnancy may aggravate the nausea in the morning, but in the later stages, it will make you enjoy all kinds of delicious. Some experts attribute this “radar nose” to the high estrogen content in pregnant women’s bodies; others believe that a sensitive sense of smell will make pregnant women consciously resist harmful substances, such as smoke or expired food, a self-protective measure of the body.
9.Surprise your body
Pregnancy, like a project that requires you to do it all yourself, is a special way to build self-confidence. Some women find that their physical condition has changed dramatically during pregnancy. Doctors point out that as long as the pregnancy is normal, pregnant women are fully capable of participating in many activities, even under great stress.
For women who once thought they couldn’t have children, pregnancy is a relief that reassures them that their bodies are also capable of this miraculous mission.
10. Delaying menopause
Women are affected by hormones throughout their lives, and on the role of hormones, their sexual organs gradually develop from infancy to maturity, and their shapes are then equipped with the unique curves of women. After entering old age, we seldom see women with medium body shape, most of them are fat or thin, in fact, this is also caused by hormonal changes, and there is no inevitable connection with whether women have given birth or not.
Therefore, it is not good for women’s physical and mental health to refuse to have children just for the fear of body shape change and early aging. During pregnancy and lactation, the ovaries of pregnant women suspend ovulation until the fourth to sixth month of lactation due to hormonal effects, and as a result, the onset of menopause may be delayed in women who have given birth.
