Pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium

Endometritis

Endometritis is an inflammation of the mucous membrane of the uterus of polymicrobial etiology. Endometritis during childbirth (chorioamnionitis) is a polymicrobial infection of the fetal membranes and amniotic fluid.

Hypothyroidism in pregnant women

Hypothyroidism is a clinical syndrome caused by a long-term, persistent deficiency of thyroid hormones in the body or a decrease in their biological effect at the tissue level.

Bronchial asthma and pregnancy

Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease of the airways in which many cells and cellular elements play a role. Chronic inflammation causes a concomitant increase in airway hyperreactivity, leading to recurrent episodes of wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, and coughing, especially at night or in the early morning.

Gastroesophageal reflux disease and pregnancy

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a chronic recurrent disease caused by a disorder of the motor-evacuation function of the organs of the gastroesophageal zone and characterized by spontaneous or regularly recurring reflux of gastric or duodenal contents into the esophagus, which leads to damage to the distal esophagus with the development of erosive-ulcerative, catarrhal and/or functional disorders.

Chronic venous insufficiency and pregnancy

Chronic venous insufficiency or chronic venous diseases include varicose veins, post-thrombotic disease, congenital and traumatic venous vessel anomalies

Diabetes mellitus in pregnancy

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a group of metabolic diseases characterized by hyperglycemia resulting from defects in insulin secretion, insulin action, or both. Chronic hyperglycemia in diabetes leads to damage and failure of various organs, especially the eyes, kidneys, nervous system, and cardiovascular system.

Gestational pyelonephritis

Pyelonephritis is a non-specific infectious and inflammatory process with a predominant initial lesion of the interstitial tissue, the renal pelvis and tubules, followed by involvement of the glomeruli and renal vessels in the pathological process.

Premature detachment of the normally located placenta

Premature detachment of a normally located placenta is the premature (before the birth of the child) separation of the placenta from the wall of the uterus.

Bleeding in the II and III trimesters of pregnancy

Bleeding during pregnancy occurs in 2-3% of women. The most common causes of bleeding are placenta previa and premature detachment of a normally located placenta.

Placental insufficiency - Diagnosis

Currently, various methods are used to diagnose placental insufficiency. Clinical methods include identifying anamnestic risk factors, objective examination of the pregnant woman and fetus by measuring the abdominal circumference and the height of the fundus of the uterus, determining the tone of the myometrium, the position of the fetus, and calculating its estimated weight.
