THE AGE OF BECOMING A MOTHER IS INCREASING, THE RISK IS GROWING
According to data, the average age of mothers giving birth in Turkey was 29.1 years. Op. Dr. who says that women’s postponement of motherhood or the absence of children brings with it many health risks. Dr. “Being a mother from the point of view of a woman is the most basic indicator of a healthy life cycle. Interfering with this natural cycle greatly increases the risk of infertility, uterine cancer, breast cancer, lung cancer, pancreatic cancer, and colon cancer,” he said.
According to the data announced by the Statistical Institute of Turkey, the average age of mothers who gave birth in 2001 was 26.7, and in 2021 it was 29.1. When the average maternal age at first birth was examined by provinces, the province with the highest average maternal age at first birth in 2021 was Istanbul with 28.4. Op., who said that with the increase in the level of education of women over the years, the issue of career has become a priority and motherhood has been postponed to advanced age. Dr. “With the transition from the traditional structure of society to the modern structure of society, the structure of thinking about marriage and having children has also changed. In the new social order, where career, education, social life and economic expectations are decisive, the age of women to become mothers has increased only. From the point of view of a woman, becoming a mother is the most basic indicator of a healthy life cycle. This natural cycle to delay or interfere with infertility (infertility), uterine cancer, breast cancer, lung cancer, pancreatic cancer, and greatly increases the risk of colon cancer,” he said.
Not only the age of becoming a mother has increased, but also the age of marriage
Op., Who says that not only the age of becoming a mother of women has increased, but also the age of marriage has also increased. Dr. “While the ovarian quality and reserve have been damaged by harmful chemicals consumed over the years, becoming a mother at an advanced age has been added to this situation. For these reasons, the orientation towards vaccination and IVF approaches, which are assisted reproduction techniques, has increased. When the female population with an increased level of education was also included in the group of infertile patients called infertile, there was a decrease in the number of children owned,” he said, and summarized the psychological reasons for the issue with the following words:
“Women began to consider it unfair to give birth to a child in a changing world and difficult living conditions. The effort to provide the best for her child socially, culturally and economically also caused the age of becoming a mother to shift forward.”
The risk is higher in women who are not breastfeeding
“Breastfeeding is one of the most important cases that reduces the risk of breast cancer. For this reason, being a late mother or having never given birth greatly increases the risk of breast cancer and ovarian cancer for women,” Op. Dr. “Studies indicate that breastfeeding has great benefits not only for children, but also for the mother and society. Breastfeeding provides the highest level of development of the child, as well as provides protection against chronic diseases, acute diseases and infections such as diabetes, cancer, cardiovascular diseases. For mothers, breastfeeding helps reduce the risk of breast cancer and ovarian cancer by reducing bleeding during the postpartum period,” he explained.
Not giving birth at all sets the stage for lung and colon cancer
Op. “Cancer causes thousands of people to turn a blind eye to life every year and experience psychological and financial depressions. According to statistics, one of the most common types of cancer in Turkey is uterine cancer. One of the reasons for the occurrence of uterine cancer is that you have never given birth. On the other hand, giving birth late or not giving birth at all has a close relationship not only with uterine cancer, but also with other types of cancer,” he said, concluding his words as follows:
“If a woman has never given birth or has given birth little, she has a high risk of ovarian cancer. If a woman has been exposed to a high dose of the hormone during an assisted reproductive technique such as vaccination, IVF, the risk of ovarian and breast cancer is high. If a woman has never given birth or has given birth little, she has a high risk of uterine cancer. Among the most common cancers, lung cancer ranks Dec among the most common. The risk of developing lung cancer in women who have given birth to children is reduced by 50 percent compared to those who have not had children. This protective effect becomes even more pronounced in people who do not smoke. However, it has been observed that giving birth to bladder cancers also reduces the risk by as much as 25 percent. There is a 30-40 percent reduction in the risk of brain and esophagus cancers due to childbirth. It is reported that the risk of liver and pancreatic cancers is similarly reduced with childbirth.”
