Diseases Associated With Pregnancy and Childbirth

Abstract

This article discusses diseases of the female reproductive system, types of eclampsia, and their symptoms. The article also specifically examines ectopic pregnancy and trophoblastic disease. Pregnancy and childbirth, while often a time of excitement and joy, can be complicated by various medical conditions that pose risks to both the mother and the baby. These conditions can be classified into pre-existing, gestational, and pregnancy-related disorders. Pre-existing conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, and thyroid disorders may exacerbate during pregnancy, leading to complications like gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, and thyroid dysfunctions. Pregnancy-related conditions include conditions such as preeclampsia, eclampsia, gestational hypertension, and placenta previa. Additionally, infectious diseases like urinary tract infections, bacterial vaginosis, and viral infections (e.g., HIV, Zika virus) are also prevalent and can affect pregnancy outcomes. Other complications, including deep vein thrombosis (DVT), anemia, and postpartum hemorrhage, further highlight the importance of regular prenatal care and timely medical intervention. Early detection and effective management of these conditions are crucial to improving maternal and fetal health outcomes.
