\”Doctor, I have XX diseases, am I not able to have a baby?\” \”Doctor, I have a lot of problems now. Which diseases should I cure before I have a baby?\”
Such a question I encounter them almost every day in clinical practice. In fact, although there are many diseases that seem very annoying, they seem to be innocuous when it comes to having children, but many seemingly insignificant diseases are closely related to our eugenics. According to the principles of eugenics, generally speaking, any disease that has adverse effects on pregnant women or fetuses cannot lead to pregnancy until it is cured. Otherwise, pregnancy during the disease will aggravate the condition and affect the growth and development of the fetus. In severe cases, pregnancy and childbirth may cause life-threatening consequences.
Then, patients with the following diseases should postpone pregnancy and can give birth under the guidance of a doctor during the stable period or after cure.
Women should not get pregnant before their high blood pressure has stabilized: High blood pressure will bring danger to expectant mothers and babies. Patients with high blood pressure are not unable to become pregnant, but they can easily cause eclampsia. And most of them are severe. Expectant mothers who are found to have high blood pressure during physical examination should pay attention to their daily life and try to return their blood pressure to normal before pregnancy. In addition, pay attention to eating more high-protein diet and appropriately control salt intake. Avoid overwork, lack of sleep, mental stress, etc.
Women with diabetes should conceive under the guidance of a doctor: Expectant mothers with diabetes are 4 times more likely to develop high blood pressure than healthy people, and the fetus is likely to grow If the baby is too large, it will cause difficulty in childbirth. Pregnant women with diabetes have a higher probability of miscarriage, stillbirth and deformed babies. Therefore, it can be said that diabetes is one of the diseases that may bring fatal risks to pregnancy. However, as long as you receive appropriate treatment before becoming pregnant, have regular pregnancy check-ups during pregnancy, and strictly follow the doctor\’s instructions, you can generally give birth smoothly and there is no need to be overly nervous.
Women should not get pregnant before their heart disease has stabilized: Anyone with symptoms such as difficulty breathing, easy fatigue, palpitation, etc. should undergo a heart examination. If diagnosed with heart disease, it should be done before pregnancy treatment before. Among heart diseases, including heart valve disease, endocarditis, cardiac malformation, etc., as long as the symptoms are not severe and there are no obstacles in daily life, you can still get pregnant. However, the risk of pregnancy for people with any heart disease is higher than that for healthy people. Therefore, pregnancy check-ups and delivery should be done in a hospital with a professional heart disease doctor. If necessary, you can receive timely medical treatment and life guidance from the doctor.
Women with certain chronic diseases should not be pregnant:For diseases such as severe kidney disease, osteomalacia, anemia (hemoglobin below 6 grams), rubella, hyperthyroidism and other diseases, pregnancy should be postponed until they are completely cured.
It is not suitable to conceive when one party suffers from an acute infectious disease: Suffers from acute viral infection, such as influenza, rubella, infectious hepatitis, active tuberculosis, viral encephalitis, Typhoid fever, measles, etc. can easily cause fetal malformations. Hepatitis B virus infection can cause the offspring to carry the virus for life, and the incidence of liver cancer in adulthood increases. Therefore, patients with infectious diseases should postpone pregnancy until they are completely cured.
Postponing pregnancy when sexually transmitted diseases such as syphilis and gonorrhea are not cured:These diseases are extremely harmful to reproductive health and pregnancy should be postponed. For example: the most serious harm of gonorrheal conjunctivitis to newborns is blindness. Herpes simplex virus infection can directly infect the fetus through the placenta, causing fetal microcephaly, congenital heart disease, limb defects, etc. Couples suffering from sexually transmitted diseases should actively go to regular hospitals for treatment and wait until the sexually transmitted diseases are cured before considering pregnancy.
Men and women should postpone pregnancy when taking certain drugs for a long time: Because many drugs can affect fetal development and cause malformations at different stages of pregnancy. Before conception, you should consult an obstetrician and gynecologist to confirm that the drugs you are taking are harmless to the embryo before you can consider pregnancy, or you should stop taking the drugs for a period of time before becoming pregnant again.
Women should postpone pregnancy until gynecological diseases such as vaginitis are cured: Fungal vaginitis can cause the fetus to be infected with mold during delivery. Therefore, women with fungal vaginitis should wait until they are cured before conceiving. As for cervical erosion, mild inflammation generally does not affect pregnancy. If the erosion is severe, such as human papilloma virus infection or herpes virus infection, it should be treated before pregnancy.
Women suffering from mental disorders should postpone pregnancy until they are cured: Women who have suffered from mental disorders will relapse during pregnancy, puerperium and lactation, and some may inherit the disease. . Women suffering from such diseases should not get pregnant easily. The disease should be treated seriously. After adequate rest and close observation, the pregnancy can be determined based on the condition and the doctor\’s opinion.
Women with ovarian cysts should be diagnosed and treated before becoming pregnant: According to reports, a pregnant woman who was three months pregnant began to have severe abdominal pain after having sex with her husband and went to the hospital for diagnosis. Due to the sudden torsion of the ovarian cyst, the doctor opened the abdomen to remove the cyst that had turned purple and black, and removed the left ovary. Thankfully, the fetus was saved. There are various conditions for suffering from ovarian cysts. Ovarian cysts can be divided into benign and malignant, as well as different sizes. If a malignant tumor is found, it should be surgically removed immediately and chemotherapy should be performed to save life. For benign tumors, they are also divided into two types: neoplastic and non-neoplastic. If benign ovarian tumors are found during examination, the size and relationship to the menstrual cycle should be determined, such as ovarian cystsIf the tumor grows too fast or is too large, it should be surgically removed or removed as soon as possible; some cysts, such as teratomas, can have pedicle twisting and cause acute abdominal pain; some cysts have thin walls and are prone to spontaneous rupture, causing acute abdominal pain. Therefore, the pelvic cavity should be checked clearly when preparing for pregnancy. If the cyst is larger than 5 cm, surgery should be performed before pregnancy. If you find an ovarian cyst after pregnancy, you should go to the hospital for regular check-ups. If it gradually grows during pregnancy, it is best to have it surgically removed within 18 to 20 weeks of pregnancy.
Women should not get pregnant before tuberculosis is cured: Women with pulmonary tuberculosis should use contraception and avoid pregnancy and childbirth while their tuberculosis is still active. The so-called active stage of pulmonary tuberculosis mainly refers to symptoms such as fever, night sweats, general fatigue, cough, hemoptysis, infiltrative and exudative lesions found on chest X-ray, and elevated blood sedimentation rate. The treatment of tuberculosis requires the use of anti-tuberculosis drugs and other chemotherapy, as well as adequate nutrition and rest, and maintaining a regular life. Patients with severe tuberculosis need surgery, and they can have a safe pregnancy and delivery after being cured.
Since women have greater reproductive burdens and risks than men, if women experience physical discomfort during pregnancy preparation, especially diseases caused by some viruses, they should be treated with caution. If they are diagnosed by a doctor and are cured, they should not If you suffer from pregnancy-related diseases, you must be treated under the guidance of a doctor. Before recovery, you should use contraception carefully and cooperate with the doctor\’s treatment.
Therefore, pregnancy while sick is a dangerous thing. It can not only aggravate your own condition, but also put the fetus at greater risk. However, not all diseases prevent pregnancy. Although some chronic diseases cannot be cured in a short time, after reasonable treatment and conditioning, pregnancy can be achieved under the guidance of a doctor after the condition improves. If you have any uncomfortable symptoms during pregnancy preparation or pregnancy, you should seek medical treatment and receive timely treatment to avoid danger.
