Can women still have children at 40?

Women's reproductive function is one of the most important body functions. It is of great significance to the continuation of the race. Once a woman loses her reproductive function, it will not only have a great impact on her normal life, but may also have adverse effects on her health. There are many reasons that affect women's normal reproductive function. Both congenital and acquired factors can affect reproductive function. Next, we will introduce whether women can still have children after they are 40.

When a woman is 40 years old, as long as she has not reached menopause and her menstrual period time, cycle and menstrual volume are normal, it means that she is still in the normal ovulation stage and the possibility of pregnancy is still relatively high. However, a 40-year-old woman is already middle-aged, so the risk of pregnancy will be much greater. She is an elderly mother. Therefore, if she is pregnant, she must undergo regular check-ups to maintain the protection of the fetus, and it is recommended to choose a cesarean section during delivery.

Women are too old and the quality of their fertility is not high

But it does not mean that the later you have children, the better. Physiologically, women are still fertile for about 30 years from the time of menarche to menopause. From the age of 25 to 30, fertility is also very ideal, as women in this period have reached maturity both psychologically and physiologically, but it should not be later than 35 years old at the latest.

As age increases, the number of diseases will increase accordingly, and complications during pregnancy will also increase, such as pregnancy-induced hypertension syndrome. During delivery, due to the reduced elasticity of muscle fibers and ligaments of internal reproductive organs such as the reproductive tract, pelvis, and uterus, dystocia is prone to occur. In addition, eggs that are too old are prone to abnormalities, which will affect the quality of the next generation.

The question of whether a woman can still have children at the age of 40 is directly related to her physical condition. Some people are in relatively good physical condition, and their ovulation and other functions are normal, so turning 40 will not affect their fertility. If the physical condition is poor and reproductive functions such as ovulation are greatly affected, then normal fertility will be affected.
