Any
chronic disease in one way or another affect the course of pregnancy, and the
pregnancy itself affects disease
Doctors
call these diseases extra genital pathology and is considered important and
serious cause for a close monitoring of the future mother.
Among
the diseases that are affected by pregnancy:
Bronchial asthma
Nearly
5% (according to some data, and up to 9%) of pregnant women suffer from asthma.
None
of the doctors cannot foretell how "interesting" situation will
affect the course of the disease.
The more dangerous:
If an
asthma attack, it feels not only the expectant mother but also her baby. Hypoxia
occurs, then there is a lack of oxygen, which hinders the proper development of
the fetus, and if the attack occurred in a significant period for the crumbs
when bodies are laid, it is almost certainly not pass unnoticed.
What to do:
Modern
anti-asthma medications are safe for a pregnant woman and the fetus. But
it is better to take care of oneself and try to avoid contact with allergens. Usually
chronic "asthmatics" know that it can cause a seizure. The most common
allergen - the usual dust. Its sources - soft
toys, draperies and carpets. But
everything is in your hands: the drapes easily replaced with blinds, books and
small things to hide the glazed shelf. Try
as often as possible to change the bed linen, pillows and blankets are washed,
possibly purchase a special anti-allergy covers.
You can
also buy an air purifier. But
before buying to find out how filters work, not to hurt yourself and the baby. If
a pregnant woman cleans the apartment itself, it must use a respirator, and
restore order after an hour or aired.
Bowel pathology
The
growing uterus puts pressure on the intestines, which can lead to malfunction. More often than not - it's diarrhea. Its
cause may be stress, infections, and chronic diseases of the gastrointestinal
tract.
The more dangerous:
Diarrhea
is often accompanied by abdominal bloating and cramping during bowel. Diarrhea
cannot be left without medical treatment, as dehydration can occur, and then
the disruption of water and electrolyte balance and metabolism, which is not
only dangerous for the baby, but also for his mother. But, it is not necessary to
self-medicate. After
all, depending on the cause of diarrhea need a completely different drugs.
Another
common attack in pregnancy - is constipation. The
reasons are numerous: dramatic hormonal changes, the weakening of the abdominal
muscles and the perineum, the pressure of the uterus, impaired motility.
What to do:
The most
important thing in this case - to establish a proper diet and drinking water
treatment. Vegetables
(beets, carrots, and cabbage), fruits (plums and apricots), dairy products help
to cope with constipation. But if the
diet does not help, consult a doctor.
Pathology of the gallbladder
It also
happens that chronic diseases of the digestive tract starts for the first time
in women during pregnancy. This is
particularly true of the gallbladder and bile ducts. Since
the cause of the problems is a violation of their physical activity, and during
pregnancy increases levels of progesterone - a hormone that relaxes and all the
smooth muscles (to prevent premature birth), the gallbladder begins to empty
very sluggish, there is a stagnation of bile. But
if chronic cholecystitis was already before pregnancy, the effect of
progesterone on it, too, will affect. In
this case, a woman complains of pain in the right upper quadrant, the feeling
of bitterness in the mouth, nausea, vomiting, belching air, heartburn,
bloating.
The more dangerous:
Women
with the above pathology heavier passes toxemia, sometimes with excruciating
nausea, excessive salivation.
What to do:
To cope
with the problem of diet will help in which one cannot eat spicy, greasy,
fried, marinated, and smoked. Nutrition
should be a float. The
basis of the menu should be boiled and stewed dishes, low-fat dairy products,
eggs, low-fat fish and lean meat. Mandatory
acceptance of choler etic drugs of plant origin. You
can brew grass (Helichrysum flowers, corn silk, peppermint leaves, rose hips,
barberry root) at the rate of 1 tbsp. Spoon
1 cup of raw materials to the boiling water and take one-third cup 3 times a
day for an hour or half an hour before meals. If, in spite of diet and intake of herbal
decoction, health does not improve, consult your doctor.
Hypertonic disease
This is
- a very common pathology in pregnant women. If,
before the pregnancy the woman already had hypertension, it is necessary to
inform the gynecologist and the therapist, which necessarily needs to be
observed the entire pregnancy.
The more dangerous:
This
pathology can cause complications and the mother and her unborn child. Due
to the high pressure decreases blood flow to the placenta and this often leads
to growth retardation. As
for the mother, then it is a risk of hypertensive crisis and severe kidney
damage. But
the main danger of hypertension in pregnancy - the possibility of
pre-eclampsia, severe but reversible condition.
What to do:
All
fixable with a properly sized treatment. After
all, there are lots of antihypertensive drugs (pressure reduction), which is
not dangerous for a pregnant woman and her unborn baby. But
it is of great importance dosage of the drug, which must pick a doctor.
