Asking about the reason of not having babies

(Oita Godo Newspaper, July 24^th 2010, Evening Paper, Page 1) 

The women's reproductive ability has decrease over the years. The prefecture has conducted a survey last year, with adult women as the main target, naming it "Questionnaire regarding health of women", a total of 479 women replied. One of the questions was the reason on why women would not want to get pregnant.

According to the prefecture health strategy office, the age where girls get pregnant easily is in their twenties, this percentage will go down as they age. However, the women who answered the questionnaire, 60% of the people are in their late thirties. The women are not sure about their own body. According to the analysis, this is what is showing.

Delayed marriage, also means delayed in giving birth. According to the ministry of labor, statistics have shown that women having their face born at an older age are increasing continuously, in 2009; the average was 29.7 years old. The gap is increasing at a alarming rate.

In life, when you get married, when you give birth is yours to choose. But even so, as you grow older, the percentage that you could get pregnant gets smaller with age, and therefore, the risk of giving birth increases.

In reality, at the first pregnant, the damage sustain by the women is huge. The representative of the same section, said " with the delayed pregnancy, the risk towards the body also increase, hence you should think of your option in life."

The age of marriage and giving birth is also a reason for the aging population; sexual intercourse is at an all year low. Manmade pregnancy, under age sex with sexual transmitted disease also serves as deterrence for getting pregnant at a young age. If one contracts chlamydia when young and do not seek treatment, it will hinder getting pregnant at a later age.

The background is "casual sex", and " the education that the high school students are receiving encourages sexual intercourse". Sexual education research institute representative said that it is necessary to educate the young ones about protective sex. This is to prevent girls from not getting pregnant in future because of such disease, having sexual intercourse at a young age cause problems and influence the person. If sex education is present, it would be better.

In Japan, about 14,000,000 women suffers from unable to get pregnant.

Late marriage, unhealthy habits like smoking, unbalance lifestyle, sexually transmitted disease, stress, over dieting, causes the hormone dysfunction.

What we can do is to have a conscious mind to prevent not able to get pregnant. The frustration and despair of women not able to get pregnant are making known to the public by NPO. Fine.           

Comments

I think that this is a serious problem, and we should take precaution when choosing a wife. It is very frightening to see that the numbers are so high, and I have seen students getting into relationships and having an intimate in a short time. For the future of your kids, we should preserve ourselves and only be faithful to the one that you love and not have multiple sex partners.
