The reproductive period is primarily the period of fertility, during which a woman retains the ability to conceive and bear children. The duration of the fertile period always depends on the boundaries of the reproductive age.
The fertile period in every woman's life begins with the onset of the first menstruation and ends with menopause. Based on demographic analysis, it has its limits: the lower one is the age of 15 years, the upper one reaches the mark of 50 years. But still, the duration of the reproductive period directly depends on the he alth of the woman.
The right to reproductive choice is an integral part of human rights. And the opportunity to exercise their reproductive rights must certainly be guaranteed by the state and be secured with the help of special legislation. Today, the activities of public and stateorganizations should primarily be aimed at protecting the reproductive he alth of women and those segments of the population who are at risk for both social and medical reasons.
In recent years, the late reproductive age of women has begun to attract more and more attention. This is primarily due to the fact that the population of this age category has increased significantly.
The fair sex aged 35 to 45 make up about 30% of the total number of women of reproductive age.
Women of late reproductive age are primarily at risk due to pregnancy. In this category of women, pregnancy is rarely planned and in most cases ends in an abortion.
Late reproductive age and the period of perimenopause can be disturbed even in the previous period, this is due to the social, economic and sanitary conditions of modern life.
Pregnancy at a late reproductive age is a fairly high probability of miscarriage, postpartum hemorrhage, fetoplacental insufficiency, the birth of children with low body weight, etc. The number of spontaneous miscarriages associated with genetic disorders in women whose reproductive age approaches the period of perimenopause reaches 75%. Although an aged woman and pregnancy are concepts quitecompatible, especially nowadays.
Based on the above, women of this age are a group of the population that needs a special reproductive he alth program. Late reproductive age also needs a special differentiated approach to the appointment of safe and effective contraception, which will combine both preventive and therapeutic qualities. The need of many women for effective contraception during the perimenopausal period is obvious and requires intervention from both society and the state as a whole. This will help raise the demographic situation in our country and improve the quality of life.
