Reproductive age - a concept familiar to everybody. However, we know what it is? More often than not - someone has heard something, but really no one knows. Perhaps the time has come to eliminate this gap, is not it? Today we try to understand what is and what features it has the most reproductive age.

And we will not stop on the generally accepted definition, which states that the reproductive age - is the age at which a woman can have a baby. This is clear without explanation. But much more interesting to look into the matter in more detail. For sure you will learn a lot for myself.

Start of reproductive age

Most people believe that the reproductive age begins with the arrival of the first menstruation. Strictly speaking, this is true. However, the preparation for this moment begins much earlier - around 10-11 years, while the so-called puberty or, more simply, puberty.

The first sign of the onset of puberty is almost always a breast enlargement. As soon as parents notice this, they must understand that their daughter began to transform from a girl into a girl. This period - the most favorable in order to talk with the girl, tell her about the upcoming changes in her body, if you have not done this before.

Then, after a while, there is first the vegetation - first under the arms, and then the pubic. As the finale - the beginning of menstruation. Official puberty is considered ended. However, this does not mean that she can have a baby. That is, it is physically capable of becoming pregnant, and in most cases bear a child. But the price is too high - the health of women.

What, in fact, and not surprising, because a teenager girl who is still a child herself and her body is not ready for childbearing and childbirth. Doctors are advised not to give birth to a very girl who is under at least 18-19 years. Otherwise there is a risk of complications, and sometimes quite serious.

Gynecologists say that the younger the girl became pregnant, the greater the risk of miscarriage, bleeding, and a different, of course, a strong toxicity. And the kids at such a young mother often have health problems; they are born with a too low body weight, weight gain worse, and adaptation to environmental conditions occurs much heavier.

Although we can not write off the individual characteristics of each particular girls - and some who at age 14 is able to give birth to a beautiful healthy baby, while maintaining their health. But also about the psychological aspect in any case we must not forget - is rarely a teenage girl is psychologically ready to become a mother.

It is fair to say that in some cases, very young girls are excellent mothers. But still need to talk with her teenage daughter about the methods of contraception. In the end, the child must be a child - all the time. She still had time to appreciate the charm of sleepless nights, diapers, GAZ cars and other attributes.

Healthy women of reproductive age

Women's Health - the substance is very delicate and depends on many factors. First and foremost, the general state of health of the woman. Any chronic disease - whether it is a problem with the cardiovascular system, or other systemic diseases - a very strong influence on the state of the reproductive system. That is why it is so important to monitor your health and undergo regular medical examinations, and in any case not to self-medicate. There is no trifling diseases - even the common cold is able to affect the female reproductive system.

In addition, you need to know, and that women's health depends largely on the development of intrauterine girls of her health in the neonatal period and childhood, let alone a teenager. Tragically, medical statistics says that only 15-20 per cent of children are born perfectly healthy.

And not surprisingly, most of the girls to the top of childbearing age already has those or other diseases of the reproductive system. To avoid this, parents should carefully monitor the health of girls and do not ignore the existence of the children's gynecologist.

Yes, and an adult woman should keep in mind that it should go to a gynecologist at least two times a year - even if it did not bother. Too many diseases occur in a latent form for a very long time. And it was like check-ups can help to recognize the disease and start appropriate treatment.

The end of reproductive age

In medicine, it is assumed that the end of the reproductive age - this is the beginning of menopause. In fact, the body begins to prepare for it in advance - after about 40 years, begins a smooth fading reproductive function. This whole process is caused by hormonal changes in the body.

The ability of the female body to the natural fertility starts to decline - the menstrual cycle starts failing, the process of ovulation is also violated. You know that the number of eggs in the female body are strictly defined by the girl at birth? And the egg during the reproductive age and mature. New egg is not matured.

Of course, the ability to conceive does not disappear in one day - even in the waning women's reproductive function may still become pregnant. However, we must not forget that the older the woman, the greater her likelihood to have a baby with certain genetic abnormalities.

That is why doctors do not recommend to postpone childbearing until later too long. Of course, no one says that in 40-45 years there is no chance of having a child - they are also quite high. But the pressures on a woman's body in any case we must not forget - the older a woman is, the harder it is given pregnancy.

Menopause

We would like to mention about menopause, which occurs in about 45-50 years when the egg finally cease to ripen. So, the probability of conceiving a child is excluded. Of course, this does not occur on the same day - the whole process from the start of menstrual irregularities before its extinction can last several years.

In this period a woman can expect a surprise. A more precise - Kinder Surprise, in the truest sense of the word. The woman believes that menstruation is not due to menopause, but in reality she is pregnant! So be sure to protect yourself until the end. And - stop protection can be used only if you visit the doctor, and you pass the necessary tests.

As you can see, the characteristics of reproductive-age women are not so little. But if you know about them, you will probably be able to avoid a huge number of problems. Be healthy and beautiful at any age!
