Reproductive age is a concept for everyone on thehearing. But do we all know what it is? Most often not - someone heard something, but really no one knows. Probably, it's time to eliminate this gap, do not you think? Today we will try to figure out what exactly and what features this most reproductive age has. And we do not dwell on the generally accepted definition that reproductive age is the age at which a woman can give birth to a child. This and without any explanation is understandable. But it is much more interesting to understand this issue in more detail. Surely you will learn a lot of new things for yourself. 
Beginning of reproductive age
Most people believe that reproductivethe age begins with the arrival of the first menstruation. Strictly speaking, this is indeed so. However, the preparation for this moment begins much earlier - about 10-11 years, during the so-called puberty period or, more simply, puberty. The first sign of the onset of puberty is almost always an increase in the mammary glands. As soon as parents notice this, they must understand that their daughter began to transform from a girl into a girl. This period is the most favorable for talking to a girl, telling her about the upcoming changes in her body if you have not done this before. Then, after a while, the first vegetation appears - first under the armpits, and then on the pubis. As the final - the beginning of menstruation. Official puberty is considered to be over. However, this does not mean that a girl can give birth to a child. That is, physically she is able to become pregnant and in most cases to bear the child. But the price will be too high - the health of the girl. That, strictly speaking, and not surprising, because in adolescence, the girl herself is still a child and her body is not ready to bear the child and childbirth. Doctors are extremely not advised to give birth to a girl who was not at least 18-19 years old. Otherwise, there is a high risk of complications, and sometimes quite serious. Doctors and gynecologists argue that the younger the girl becomes pregnant, the higher the risk of miscarriage, various bleeding and, of course, severe toxemia. And babies in these young mothers often have health problems: they are born with an excessively low body weight, gaining weight worse, and adaptation to external conditions is much more difficult. Although it is impossible to write off the individual characteristics of the organism of each particular girl - some who at the age of 14 are capable of giving birth to a beautiful healthy baby while maintaining their health. But also about the psychological aspect in any case should not be forgotten - it is extremely rare that a teenage girl is psychologically ready to become a mother. For the sake of justice, it should be said that in some cases very young girls become excellent mothers. But nevertheless it is necessary to talk with the teenage daughter about ways of contraception. In the end, the child must remain a child - everything has its time. The girl will have time to appreciate the charm of sleepless nights, diapers, gazik and other attributes. 
Health of a woman in her reproductive age
Women's health - the substance is very delicate anddepends on many factors. And first of all from the general state of health of a woman. Any chronic illness - whether it be a cardiovascular system or other systemic ailments - has a very strong effect on the condition of the reproductive system. That is why it is so important to monitor your health, regularly undergo medical examination and not to engage in self-medication. There is no trivial disease - even the most banal cold can affect the female's reproductive system. In addition, it is necessary to know and that women's health largely depends on the intrauterine development of the girl, the state of her health during the period of newborn and childhood, not to mention adolescence. Unfortunately, the medical statistics say that only 15-20 percent of children are born completely healthy. And it is not surprising that most girls by the beginning of reproductive age already have some or other diseases of the reproductive system. In order to avoid this, parents should carefully monitor the health of the girl and do not ignore the existence of a child gynecologist. And an adult woman should remember that she must visit a gynecologist at least twice a year - even if she does not bother. Very many diseases occur in a latent form for a very long time. And it is precisely such control checks that can help in time to recognize the disease and begin the necessary treatment.
End of reproductive age
In medicine, it is considered that the endreproductive age is the beginning of menopause. In fact, the body begins to prepare for this in advance - after about 40 years, the fading of the reproductive function begins. This whole process develops as a result of changes in the hormonal background of the body. The ability of the female body to naturally conceive begins to decline - the menstrual cycle begins to stray, the process of ovulation is also violated. Do you know that the number of eggs in the female body is strictly defined even at the birth of the girl? And these eggs during the reproductive age and ripen. New eggs do not ripen. Of course, the ability to conceive does not disappear in one day - even in the period of extinction of reproductive function, a woman can still conceive. However, we must not forget that the older a woman, the higher her chances of having a baby with those or other genetic deviations. That's why doctors do not recommend postponing the birth of a child for too long. Of course, no one says that in 40-45 years there is no chance to have a child - they are also quite high. But also on the burden on the body of a woman, in no case should we forget - the older a woman, the heavier she is given a pregnancy. 
Menopause
Separately, I would like to mention about menopause,which occurs about 45-50 years, when the eggs finally cease to ripen. So, the probability of conception of the child is excluded. Of course, this does not happen in one day - the entire process from the onset of menstrual irregularity to its complete disappearance can last several years. And during this period a woman can expect a surprise. Or rather, a kinder surprise, in the truest sense of the word. The woman believes that menstruation is not due to menopause, but in fact she is pregnant! So be sure to protect yourself to the very end. And that - to stop protection it is possible only in the event that you visit the doctor and hand over necessary analyzes. As you can see, the characteristics of the reproductive age of women are not so few. But if you know about them, you will certainly be able to avoid a huge number of problems. Be healthy and beautiful at any age! We advise you to read:
