Pregnancy brings a surprising benefit to women

Numerous clinical data show that breastfeeding can reduce the risk of breast cancer, and infertility is an important risk factor for breast cancer! Similarly, infertile women are more likely to develop breast hyperplasia and other benign breast diseases under the long-term "unopposed" high estrogen effects than women who have experienced pregnancy and childbirth.

Benefit 1: Reduce the risk of uterine fibroids

This common "hormone-dependent" benign tumor in women is more likely to occur in women who have never given birth in their lifetime than in those who give birth at the right time, and their chances of eventually needing surgery are also greatly increased.

Benefit 2: Can treat endometriosis

This is another "eccentric" disease that is closely related to a woman's reproductive status. Although many aspects of this mysterious disease are still unclear to modern medical experts, one thing is certain: if the monthly cyclical ovulation of women with the disease is stopped, the "progression" of the disease will be strongly curbed! Therefore, timely pregnancy and childbirth are the most effective and least side-effectful way to "treat" this problem. It is a method often recommended by some gynecologists to treat this disease.

Benefit 3: Reduce the risk of endometrial cancer

During pregnancy, in order to maintain a "stable" living environment for the embryo, the endometrium also suspends its periodic exfoliation bleeding. The process of "damage" - "repair" - "re-damage" - "re-repair" that the endometrial epithelial cells must undergo during the menstrual cycle will be temporarily stopped, and the chance of cancer will also be reduced.

According to relevant research, endometrial cancer is more common in high-income women who are infertile, and is often accompanied by metabolic diseases such as obesity, diabetes, and hypertension.

Benefit 4: Reduce the risk of ovarian cancer

Recent studies have shown that pregnancy allows women to produce an antibody that resists ovarian cancer, which can effectively prevent the occurrence of ovarian cancer. The more pregnancies you have had and the earlier the first pregnancy, the more significant the effect. Some surveys have also found that breastfeeding for more than three months can also reduce the risk of certain cancers.

Data show that women who give birth after the age of 35 have a 58% lower risk of developing ovarian cancer than women of the same age who have never given birth.

Benefit 5: Reduce breast problems

Numerous clinical data show that breastfeeding can reduce the risk of breast cancer, and infertility is an important risk factor for breast cancer! Similarly, infertile women are more likely to develop breast hyperplasia and other benign breast diseases under the long-term "unopposed" high estrogen effects than women who have experienced pregnancy and childbirth.

The relationship between pregnancy and a reduced incidence of breast cancer is well documented. Based on the fact that women's ovaries will automatically stop ovulating during pregnancy, experts have concluded that women who ovulate less frequently are less likely to develop breast cancer or ovarian cancer. Mothers who have never been pregnant or breast-feeding are more likely to develop breast cancer.

Benefit 6: Say goodbye to dysmenorrhea

Shortly after giving birth, menstruation will resume. However, there was a welcome change this time: bothersome menstrual cramps decreased, and some women even found that the cramps basically disappeared after giving birth. This is a common phenomenon, but no one knows the exact reason. One of the more likely possibilities is that childbirth eliminates certain prostaglandin receptor sites in the uterus. Prostaglandin is a hormone with multiple functions, one of which is to cause the uterus to contract during movement, which is also one of the causes of dysmenorrhea. The result? Naturally, the fewer pain points there are, the less pain there is.

Benefit 7: Increase immunity

Relevant literature research data show that if a woman has a complete pregnancy process in her lifetime, her immunity can be increased by 10 years, and this immunity is mainly against gynecological tumors. Many gynecological diseases, such as breast cancer and endometriosis, are related to women's fertility because infertile women cannot get timely and effective protection from progesterone. At the same time, experts have 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 also higher than that in women who have given birth.

Benefit 8: Feelings become more sensitive

Pregnancy seems to enhance your sense of smell, and even taste. Of course, such a heightened sense of smell may exacerbate morning nausea in early pregnancy, but in later pregnancy, it will make you enjoy all kinds of delicious food even more. Some experts attribute this "radar nose" to the high estrogen levels in pregnant women; others believe that a keen sense of smell makes pregnant women consciously resist harmful substances, such as cigarettes or expired food, which is a self-protection measure of the body.

Benefit 9: Surprise your body

Pregnancy, like a do-it-yourself project, is a unique way to build self-confidence. Some women find that their physical condition improves dramatically during pregnancy. Doctors point out that as long as the pregnancy is going well, pregnant women are fully capable of participating in a variety of activities and even enduring great stress.

For women who once thought they could not have children, pregnancy is a relief, reassuring them that their bodies can also perform this miraculous mission.

Benefit 10. Delay menopause

Women are affected by hormones throughout their lives. Under the action of hormones, their sexual organs gradually develop from immature to mature, and their bodies also acquire the unique curves of women. As people get older, they rarely see women of average build. Most people are either fat or thin. In fact, this is also a change in body shape caused by hormonal changes, and it has no necessary connection with whether a woman has given birth.

Therefore, refusing to have children simply because of fear of body shape changes and premature aging is detrimental to women's physical and mental health.

During pregnancy and lactation, due to the effect of hormones, the ovaries of pregnant women stop ovulating and do not resume until the 4th to 6th month of lactation. Because the ovaries delay the release of 10 to 20 eggs, the result is that women who have given birth may have their menopause delayed.
