The benefits of having children for women include: reducing the occurrence of hysteromyoma, treating patients with endometriosis, reducing the occurrence of endometrial cancer, reducing the occurrence of ovarian cancer and preventing the occurrence of breast cancer.
(1) Reduce the incidence of uterine fibroids: This common "hormone-dependent" benign tumor in women generally occurs in women who have never given birth in their lives.
(2) It can treat endometriosis: endometriosis is also a disease closely related to female fertility. If the periodic ovulation of sick women is stopped, the disease will be effectively curbed. Therefore, timely pregnancy and delivery is a method often recommended by some gynecologists to treat this disease.
(3) Reduce the incidence of endometrial cancer: According to relevant research, endometrial cancer is more common in high-income and infertile women, and is often accompanied by metabolic diseases such as obesity and hypertension.
(4) Reduce the probability of ovarian cancer: Some data show that after the age of 35, the probability of ovarian cancer in pregnant women is about 58% lower than that in childless women of the same age.
(5) Reduce breast problems: Clinical data show that the incidence of diseases such as hyperplasia of mammary glands in infertile women is higher than that in women who have had pregnancy and childbirth experience.
(6) Postponement of menopause: During pregnancy and lactation, the ovaries of pregnant women stop ovulating, and will not recover until the 4th to 6th month of lactation, thus delaying the discharge of one or twenty eggs, which may cause women to postpone menopause.
