Pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium

Swelling in pregnant women

Edema in pregnant women is in vain considered inevitable and typical phenomenon accompanying the period of pregnancy. As well as swelling in women who do not plan to give birth, in men who are not going to become fathers, edema in a pregnant woman is a sign of uncharacteristic changes and possible diseases in the body.

Autoimmune disorders in pregnancy

Autoimmune disorders occur in women 5 times more often than in men, and reach their maximum in the reproductive age. Thus, these disorders are commonly found in pregnant women.

Chorioamnionitis

Chorioamnionitis is an infection of the chorion and amnion, usually occurring at the time of delivery. Chorioamnionitis can be the result of an ascending infection through the genital tract.

Bumpy drift

A bladder is a proliferation of trophoblast tissue in pregnant women or women who have recently had a pregnancy. Manifestations of the disease can include excessive expansion of the uterus, vomiting, vaginal bleeding and pre-eclampsia, especially in the early stages of pregnancy.

Placental abruption

Detachment of the placenta - premature separation of the normally located placenta in late pregnancy. Signs of this pathology may be bleeding from the vagina, pain and soreness of the uterus, hemorrhagic shock and disseminated intravascular coagulation (DVS).

Fetal erythroblastosis

Fetal erythroblastosis is a hemolytic anemia in a fetus or newborn caused by transplacental transmission of maternal antibodies to fetal erythrocytes.

Ectopic pregnancy

Ectopic pregnancy can not be tolerated before the term and, eventually, interrupted or regressed. In ectopic pregnancy, implantation occurs outside the uterine cavity - in the fallopian tube (in its intramural region), in the cervix, in the ovary, in the abdominal cavity, or in the small pelvis.

Postpartum hemorrhage

Postpartum hemorrhage is a loss of blood of more than 500 ml during or immediately after the third stage of labor. The diagnosis is made on the basis of clinical data. Treatment consists of uterine massage and intravenous administration of oxytocin, sometimes in combination with injections of 15-methyl prostaglandin F2a or methyl-ergonovin.

Pregnancy High Risk

Pregnancy at high risk is a pregnancy in which an increase in risk factors complicating the course of pregnancy or increasing mortality before or after delivery is possible for the mother, fetus or newborn.

Bleeding from the vagina in the last stages of pregnancy

The most common cause of bleeding in the last period of pregnancy is the presentation and detachment of the placenta. This can lead to hemorrhagic shock, which requires intravenous fluid recovery and other measures before or during diagnosis.
