Pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium

Role of immunity indices of pregnant women in predicting the development of fetoplacental insufficiency

A study was conducted to determine cytokines in patients in the second trimester of pregnancy. It was found that immune disorders in the presence of signs of chronic fetoplacental insufficiency (FPI) are manifested by increased production of TNF-a and a simultaneous decrease in cytokines IL-4, IL-10, IL-13, which proves their role in predicting the probable risk of developing FPI.

Habitual spontaneous abortion

Habitual spontaneous abortion is a common pathology of pregnancy, which has serious psychological consequences.

Swelling in pregnant women

Edema in pregnant women is in vain considered an inevitable and typical phenomenon accompanying the period of pregnancy. Just like edema in women who do not plan to give birth, in men who do not plan 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 peak during reproductive age. Thus, these disorders are most common in pregnant women.

Chorioamnionitis

Chorioamnionitis is an infection of the chorion and amnion, usually occurring near term. Chorioamnionitis may result from an ascending infection through the genital tract.

Bubble skid

A hydatidiform mole is a proliferation of trophoblastic tissue in pregnant or recently pregnant women. Symptoms may include excessive uterine enlargement, vomiting, vaginal bleeding, and preeclampsia, especially in early pregnancy.

Placental abruption

Placental abruption is the premature separation of a normally located placenta in late pregnancy. Signs of this pathology may include vaginal bleeding, uterine pain and tenderness, hemorrhagic shock, and disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC).

Fetal erythroblastosis

Fetal erythroblastosis is a hemolytic anemia in the fetus or neonate caused by transplacental transfer of maternal antibodies to fetal red blood cells.

Ectopic pregnancy

An ectopic pregnancy cannot be carried to term and eventually terminates or regresses. In an ectopic pregnancy, implantation occurs outside the uterine cavity - in the fallopian tube (in its intramural part), cervix, ovary, abdominal cavity or in the small pelvis.

Postpartum hemorrhage

Postpartum hemorrhage is a blood loss of more than 500 ml during or immediately after the third stage of labor. Diagnosis is based on clinical findings. Treatment consists of uterine massage and intravenous oxytocin, sometimes combined with injections of 15-methyl prostaglandin F2a or methyl-ergonovine.
