Pregnancy

Early pregnancy tests

Some women experience early symptoms of pregnancy witch can almost always show if she is pregnant or not.
<-336×280 Large Rectangle - center->
The end of menstruation is the first objective sign of pregnancy. However, many women have irregular periods or periods of amenorrhea witch means spontaneous cessation of menses, making this sign, in fact unreliable in early pregnancy.

Your breasts are painful, especially on the sides. They are inflated with a bulging nipples taking a darker color. They are harder and slightly larger.
You’re feeling a bit smeared on waking.

It is not uncommon to experience heartburn in the stomach, to suddenly be disgusted by certain foods or repelled by the smell.

Your appetite will vary: you can not eat or, conversely, you have trouble controlling your appetite. You feel tired in the dark, especially if it is not your first pregnancy. You have mood swings as a function of hormone action. You’re irritable or become hypersensitive. Note, however, these symptoms can confirm a pregnancy. A pregnancy  test immediately and above all a confirmation that your doctor will be necessary.

In fact, nausea is an early symptom of pregnancy, but we must also admit that it may be caused by many things, then it is difficult to conclude with certainty.

Another early sign of early pregnancy is the change in breast size. They swell a little and areola changes appearance.

Nevertheless, it is safer to wait until the date of the rules, and possibly do a pregnancy test on the first day of delay.

There   are signs of pregnancy that   are diverse and vary from woman to woman in their intensity, duration and frequency. The signs     most reliable direct link with the beginning of pregnancy to be confirmed by a pregnancy test and a medical diagnosis.

The delay rules :
This is one of the most obvious signs. But external factors such as an intense emotional shock, a diet over the long term, a long illness, certain medications can affect hormonal balance and cause a missed period without pregnancy. In case of prolonged delay rules , a pregnancy test is required. According to the result, it is also advisable to consult a doctor. Only a blood test prescribed by a doctor can officially confirm an early pregnancy.

Breasts swollen and sensitive
In early pregnancy and throughout pregnancy, the breasts begin a metamorphosis. From the earliest days of pregnancy, the breast is swollen and sometimes sensitive, painful. During pregnancy, the breasts are prepared to automatically produce milk to feed the unborn child.

Nausea
More than signs, what are symptoms of pregnancy may be premature. Nausea and vomiting may occur from the 2nd week of pregnancy. These often morning sickness can last all day and are amplified by ha

ving an empty stomach. They are often mitigated by splitting intakes and as appropriate by the choice of salty foods or dairy-based. 74% of women who carried a pregnancy to term said they had experienced nausea. Nausea usually occurs after the first month of pregnancy and disappear after the 3rd month of pregnancy.

Fatigue and sleep disorders

A state of fatigue may be an early sign of pregnancy. The body undergoes profound physiological and hormonal changes that mobilize energy. In early pregnancy, this state of general fatigue manifested by difficulty getting up in the morning, the urge to take naps and early sunsets. Sometimes early in pregnancy insomnia night - more common in late pregnancy - just amplify the general state of fatigue.Test yourself for all the simptoms mentioned but don’t forget to seek a doctor’s aid.

Pregnancy calculator

Are you pregnant or just paranoid  ? Depending on whether or not you want to become a mother, this issue is important and should be treated as such because any decision you will make in this moment will affect you your whole life.. Pregnancy is a very special period in the life of a woman and I recommend addressing  it calmly, it is important to know when it begins to take the necessary precautions in terms of diet and lifestyle , or make a decision about terminating or not. Some signs of pregnancy do not lie. Please confirm your status by your doctor or your gynecologist to initiate a proper monitoring of pregnancy.
The hints of pregnancy . What are they? How to recognize, isolate? How do you calculate if you are pregnant or not?
<-336×280 Large Rectangle - center->
Signs of pregnancy are diverse and varied. They differ from one woman to another. Signs of pregnancy also vary in their intensity, duration and frequency. The list of signs that we will establish is indicative and general.

It should keep a cool head as some signs of pregnancy are similar to premenstrual problems. So if you do not want to be pregnant, you may hope that you’ll soon have your period while you are actually pregnant. Conversely, if you want to have a child, there are signs that you take for signs of pregnancy will prove to be just premenstrual syndromes. During pregnancy, most women face many physical and emotional changes while some receive only discrete signs.

Obviously external factors such as an intense emotional shock, a strict diet, after a long illness can affect your hormonal balance and cause the absence of rules and it will be very confusing:

Am I running late or am I actually pregnant?

. In the absence of rules, the first instinct is to get a pregnancy test to confirm or disprove your hopes . Remember the power of the mind, often if your test proves negative, the rules will trigger a few days after … the feeling of many pregnant women are listening to their body and intuition of pregnant when they found no visible sign. In most cases this intuition, sixth sense, a little animal is founded. This feeling can be reinforced by basic signs: headaches, stomach aches, constipation or diarrhea, back pain, repeated desire to urinate, pain in breasts … breasts swollen and  the pain from your breats will be one of the most visible signs during pregnancy your breasts will be swollen and painful.

You will notice that sign taking your shower, while playing sports or while you’re lying on your stomach. When you are pregnant and early in pregnancy, your breasts are preparing to produce milk and feed your child. For some, the rings may become darker and breasts more sensitive and painful. The weight gain you’ve gained weight, you feel bloated and bloated. You are having trouble getting dressed even though you did not have a problem last week or last month. Similar to premenstrual symptoms, this condition is caused by the action of hormones because you’re pregnant! If you’re trying to calculate your pregnancy, do not wait and take a pregnancy test that you will need to be confirmed by a blood test prescribed by your doctor.

It’s the moment every young lady prepares for her entire life, and I don’t mean her wedding. I’m sure every woman thought of this….. Your pregnancy test is positive and gives you the answer you want. You are pregnant and the greatest miracle of life happens to you: someone that is developing inside you , whose genetic heritage is half yours and half of your spouse. A new being, unlike any other on this planet your child.
<-336×280 Large Rectangle - center->
The multiple faces of children is the specificity of the human being. All different yet all human. It is the fruit of the vast genetic mixing that occurs from time immemorial. Genetic variability is a infinite source of wealth and development.
What happens to you ?
At the end of your first month of pregnancy, you obey the 15 days late rules, because ovulation and fertilization occur, generally around the 14th day of your cycle. You have 6 weeks of gestation (6 weeks after the start of your last period).
Some women may have small blood loss during the first month, but still different from the usual rules. This is often the time of implantation of the egg in the uterus.

So little time already elapsed and your body changes. You live some signs directly related to increasing your hormonal output: your breasts are tight, you can feel sleepy or nauseous. Often you feel that anything you tired.
On the food front, it is possible that the very idea of eating makes you nauseated or otherwise you are having unusual cravings. Try not to over eat because the stress on your back from the extra weight can be massive , but try not to eat to less , you must find a dietary balance and stick to it.

Nine months of pregnancy to see a baby grow inside you also to nine months to prepare for the prospect of being parents to a baby nine months to mature and grow from a child yourself to a adult capable of taking care of another human being , just like your parents did … Such is the duration of a classic pregnancy . The pregnant woman is facing many issues and questions about the progress of her pregnancy, about what is good or bad for her and the child, what she can and can not do what is good for her offspring … issues that we address to make sure we do not damage the baby before it is even born.



Altough scary at fist young mothers , do not panic all women endure this anxiety it is perfectly natural.The most important things are not to let your emotional side take over and try to keep a cool head and take rational decisions because we basically are what our parents make us to be , so every one of your decisions will have an echo on your child’s life.
For those nine months that will lead to the birth of your you will need support. The father of the child comes to mind. You will need him and he will need you.

A good way to understand pregnancy is to understand the biological process behind it
Long before the actual fertilization and immediately after, several events must succeed: making gametes, pathways, proper fertilization, segmentation and implantation.
<-336×280 Large Rectangle - center->
Sperm and oocytes :
First, it is necessary that the gametes or reproductive cells called sperm and oocytes in humans, are present.
In humans, production of sperm in the testes begins in adolescence and continues normally throughout life. This “production” or spermatogenesis takes place in the seminiferous tubules of testes from stem cells or spermatogonia. It occurs in the lining of the tubes during 74 days before the sperm are released into the center of the seminiferous tubules. At this stage, they contain genetic material adequate or 23 chromosomes, but they do not yet have any mobility or all of their fertilizing capacity. Only during their journey through the epididymis, where they are stored between ejaculations, they will achieve full maturity. Sperm constitute only a small fraction of the volume of ejaculate (2.5 ml on average) the largest part consists of seminal plasma from the seminal vesicles and seminal fluid secreted by the prostate.

In women, the maturation of gametes or oocytes, occurs in the ovaries from a stockpile in the womb. The maximum number of about 7 million is reached in the 3rd trimester of pregnancy.From this stage, the population of oocytes gradually decreasing during puberty, there are only 400 000 and a few thousand just before menopause. In the ovary, oocytes are surrounded by follicular cells that are transformed as well. All form a follicle. From puberty to menopause, during each ovulatory cycle, a mature follicle ruptures and releases an egg which still contains 46 chromosomes. Half will be deported upon contact with a sperm, making fertilization possible.This dominant follicle began developing its final 85 days before ovulation, with the departure of many follicles, all forming a cohort. Only the dominant follicle reached maturity. Other halt their growth at different stages.
If intercourse takes place during a period of fertility, 200 to 300 million sperm are deposited in the vagina after ejaculation encounter a supportive environment. The most mobile of them will be back in the cervical canal of the uterus through the mucus that ensures their survival and migration capability. The few hundred sperm which travel in the tube were acquired after the passage of the uterine cavity, their fertilizing capacity: the capacitation. They are attracted to a dilated portion of the tube, the bulb, where the oocyte is surrounded by a cell mass: the cumulus.

The end of the tube is indeed provided with fringes to capture the egg from an ovary removed.During the last hours before ovulation itself, the dominant follicle, which measures 16 to 20 mm in diameter, deforms the surface of an ovary. He has received major hormonal stimuli making the oocyte capable of being fertilized. They allow the rupture of the follicular wall and expulsion of the oocyte which has a lifetime of only 8 to 10 hours.

In the tube, the sperm capacity through the cumulus cells come and join a second cell barrier surrounding the oocyte: zona pellucida. This causes a reaction at the head of some sperm which will release their enzymes to cross the zona pellucida. The first sperm that will cross merges with the cell membrane of the oocyte, resulting in a few seconds ofPregnancy.

Pregnancy induced hypertension: at most of the pregnant women, the tension was normal until the pregnancy and it will become normal after the pregnancy. But, there are some pregnant women who had this malady before the pregnancy and the doctors place them into the chronic arterial hypertension category.

<-336×280 Large Rectangle - center->

Which is the danger of a high arterial tension? In this case all the sanguine vessels get narrowed, including the blood vessels of the uterus, which “feeds” the baby with oxygen and nutritive substances. As result of the insufficient provision of the baby with these products, it can take place the deceleration of the baby’s development.

The slowing-down of the uterus alimentation with blood increases the risk of the displacement of the placenta (the organ which makes the connection between mother and baby), which in grave cases may provoke dangerous abundant bleeding. The most obvious symptom of the placenta’s displacement is the vaginal hemorrhage after the twentieth week of pregnancy. In this case you should go immediately to a doctor. Pregnancy induced hypertension may be also one of the symptoms of pre-eclampsia, which involves many problems.

Pre-eclampsia is the condition of the organism that has the following characteristics: the increase of the arterial tension (hypertension), the presence of a high quantity of proteins in urine (more than 3grams in 24 hours), edemas, the fast increase of the corporal weight (more than 2 kilograms per week). Pre-eclampsia may go with visual disorders, headaches, somnolence, pains in the epigastric region, nausea, errutctation, decrease of the baby’s movements, decrease of the urine’s volume. Pre-eclampsia is often met after the thirtieth week of pregnancy.

Which is the treatment method in the case when pregnancy induced hypertension? The treatment is always individual; it depends a lot on the health of the women and on the pregnancy’s term. If the evolution of the malady is slow and easy, than the doctor will recommend you a diet and the bed regime, until your arterial tension will get normal or until the moment of the birth.

It may be possible that the doctor will prescribe you a medicament treatment. But even in the easy cases it is necessary to frequently go to the doctor (at least two times a week). If the measures effectuated are not efficient and the condition of the pregnant is getting worse or she suffers of chronic hypertension, than she will be interned into the hospital until she gives birth to her child.

In this way there can be avoided the grave complications. At the hospital, the arterial tension of the mother will be measured 2 or 3 times per day, and the determination of the corporal weight and of the presence of proteins in the urine will be done daily. As well, it will be daily controlled the condition of the baby by determining the movements of the child.

In some cases, when the arterial tension increases too much, the doctors consider that it is inevitable the stimulation of a premature birth, in order to avoid the appearance of grave problems of the mother’s health, such as: infarction, affection of the liver, of the kidneys and the edema of the lungs.

If the patient suffers by chronic arterial tension or has symptoms, like: visual disorders, epigastric pains or diastolic tension higher than 100, than the doctors recommend a treatment with intravenous magnesium sulfate. It is evident that the premature birth is not desired, but sometimes this is the only chance, and in this case the babies who are born before the term are feeling better in the incubator than in their mother’s womb.

Molar pregnancy represents an abnormality at the level of the placenta, caused by a problem that appears during the fertilization in the moment when the sperm penetrates the ovum. Molar pregnancy is very rare and it appears once at every 1000 pregnancies.

<-336×280 Large Rectangle - center->

Molar pregnancy is the result of a genetic error that appears during the fertilization process, which leads to abnormal tissue increase at the level of the uterus. Rarely, molar pregnancy involves the development of an embryo and the growing of this tissue is quicker than it is in the case of a normal pregnancy. There are two types of molar pregnancy: partial and complete.

Complete molar pregnancy has just two parts of placenta (there is no baby), which appear when the sperm fertilize an empty ovum (the baby cannot be formed because the ovum is empty). The placenta grows and produces the pregnancy hormone hCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin). An echography shows that there is just the placenta, without a baby.

Partial molar pregnancy appears when the compound contains, beside the abnormal cells, an embryo with severe defects. In this case the foetus will be very soon defeated by the abnormal compound, which is growing very fast. A rare form of partial molar pregnancy appears when twins are conceived, but just one of the embryos develops normally and the other one becomes a molar pregnancy. In this case, the healthy embryo will be consumed, in time, by the abnormal growing.

Risks of molar pregnancy appear at women who are over 40 years, at women who already had a molar pregnancy or the ones who had a miscarriage. Symptoms of molar pregnancy: vaginal bleedings, sensation of nausea and eructation, development of some rare complications of the thyroid gland. As well, the early pre-eclampsia, the high-level of hCG hormone and the absence of the cardiac rhythm of the baby and his/her movements, can represent signs of molar pregnancy.

The diagnostic in case of molar pregnancy can be done by a pelvic gynecologic examination, which can relieve an increased or decreased uterus, increased ovary and abnormal high level of the pregnancy hormone hCG. Most of the molar pregnancies will spontaneous end and the tissue will be eliminated. A molar pregnancy can be removed by surgery operation, dilation and evacuation or, sometimes, it can be eliminated by a medicamentary treatment.

Almost 90% of women who had a molar pregnancy did not need a treatment after the removal of the pregnancy. There will be done some procedures in which it will be followed the pregnancy hormone’s level, these procedures can be done once a month, during 6 months, depending on the doctor’s recommendation. This observation procedure has the purpose to assure that the molar pregnancy has been completely eliminated, because some prints of molar pregnancy may reappear and may involve a cancer risk for the other parts of the organism.

You should avoid getting pregnant during a year after the elimination of the molar pregnancy. You may use all the contraceptive methods, except the intrauterine devices.

Even if the elimination of a molar pregnancy does not represent an interruption of the development of the foetus (like in the case of normal pregnancy interruption), it can still be considered a loss. Even if the embryo exists, it does not have the chance to grow and develop into a foetus. Most of women discover that they have a molar pregnancy after they discovered that they are pregnant. Dreams, plans and hopes are all destroyed in a minute, so is a significant loss.

Fifteen weeks pregnancy is a period quite pleasant. The morning nausea and the eructation completely disappear. You will start notice (physically) that you are pregnant. The growing rhythm of your baby is fast, his/her internal organs are already formed and some organs like the heart and the kidneys continue their development. Probably you have gained weight, but this thing is different from one woman to another. The high levels of estrogen may cause the inflammation of the nasal mucous and this fact is very common in the fifteen weeks pregnancy.

<-336×280 Large Rectangle - center->

The development of the baby in the fifteen weeks pregnancy – the baby has grown more in weight and in length. On his/her red and wrinkled skin start to grow small filaments of hair called Lanugos. These filaments help the baby to maintain a constant temperature and they completely disappear until birth. The baby can swallow food and he/she has the capacity to hear you and the rest of the sounds from the environment.

It is possible to feel the baby’s movement followed by breaks, dependant on how the baby moves, hits, sleeps or eats. The baby’s skin is very thin and the blood vessels are still visible. The legs have grown longer than the arms and now the body is longer than the head. The nails of fingers and toes have started to grow and the baby begins having hair on the head and eyebrows.

The baby has now taste buds and, in time, he/she will start to hiccup. The three little bones from the internal ear start consolidating, but the center of hearing does not develop so fast and it is possible that the baby will not understand what he/she hears, but the hearing starts forming. That is why the amniotic liquid carries to the baby the sounds from the exterior to the interior and the baby hears in the first place the sound of his/her mother’s heart, her stomach and her voice.

Changes of your body in the fifteen weeks pregnancy – most of women have already gain some kilograms, what it cannot be compared with the weight before the birth. It does not matter how much weight you gain now, especially that this aspect is related to the mother’s physique. But if gaining or losing weight become too accentuated it is good to see a doctor. Also it is good to ask for doctor’s advice about the pregnancy diet, because he/she will explain to you what to include in your alimentation and what to avoid eating.

At the doctor will be effectuated specific prenatal measures and at the big clinics it will be made even a graphic of the pregnancy’s evolution. This aspect may give information about the baby’s position. You may feel how ligaments of the stomach extend as the uterus continues to grow and this think may cause cramps and unpleasant sensations on the one or both parts of the abdomen. These sensations can be reduced by taking a bath in warm water.

There are some bacterial infections during the pregnancy, such as: infections of the urinary tract, bacterial vaginosis (increases the risks of premature birth). You can reduce the risk of infections by wearing clean and airy clothes and avoiding close-fitting clothes and underclothes. As well, you should avoid swimming in dirty pools and avoid perfumed sprays and soaps and it is indicated to drink 8-9 glasses of water per day.

Is flying during pregnancy dangerous? You have to take in consideration the factors, which can influence your decision to travel by the plane: How important is the travel for you? At how much stress will you expose during the travel? Can you take frequent breaks to rest? Will you have the possibility to drink a lot of liquids and to eat well?

<-336×280 Large Rectangle - center->

If you bear in mind all these aspects and you take all the right precautions, your travel by the plane will be sure. However, it is good to ask for the doctor’s advice first. There is an age limit accepted by the air lines – most of the air lines have a superior limit of pregnancy’s age, beyond which they refuse to transport a pregnant women: in general 32-34 weeks. At an age of pregnancy a little smaller (maybe over 28 weeks), the air lines companies may request a letter from your doctor which can attest that you are able to fly. These conditions are different and it is good to ask for information at the air line company.

After you are up in the air the biggest risk is that the profound thrombosis of the veins (the formation of a cruor into a vein of the leg). It is a rare complication, but a grave one. The risk of thrombosis raises by the absence of motion and dehydration. To reduce the risk of thrombosis you should try to reserve an aisle seat to have more space for your feet, drink many liquids during the fly, get up on your feet and walk a few minutes once every hour and being able to do all these things without disturbing the other passengers.

Flying during pregnancy – radiation during the fly (they have the origin into the Sun and they are caused by the deep space and they pass through the fuselage of the airplane. However, there are more studies, which demonstrate that the exposure to radiation during the fly does not present high risks to lose the pregnancy.

The dose permitted by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission from United States of America for a pregnant woman who is exposed to radiation by the work nature is of 500 millirems. What precaution measures you should take against the radiation – in this moment the specialists offer only a few advice. They sustain that during the solar explosions, when the exposure to radiation may increase by one hundred times the pregnant women must not fly.

Since you are pregnant and you plan to travel by plane, you should choose a fly at low latitude, because the fly above the polar regions involve double radiation in regard the ones above the Equator. There is a website, which offers information about the existence of solar explosions and excessive radiation associated with solar explosions.

I repeat that if you have time to choose, you should prefer the fly at low latitude and lower altitude because the level of the radiation doubles at each 2000 meters. Precisely, the jet planes, which fly at high altitude, are the ones that fly on long routes: Concorde, Boeing 747 SP, Boeing 747 – 400, Boeing 767-300 ER, Airbus A 340-200 and MD-11.

I am sure that everybody has heard about the period during pregnancy. If you are pregnant you have also probably heard about women who had their period during their pregnancy. This story is perpetuating from generation to generation at it has almost become an urban legend. Everyone knows someone who knows somebody who had period during pregnancy.

<-336×280 Large Rectangle - center->

A lot of women can experiment the episodes of vaginal bleeding during their pregnancy. Vaginal bleeding are more common in the first trimester of pregnancy (30% from the pregnant women have vaginal bleeding in the first trimester). Even if by far less women have vaginal bleeding during the second and the third trimester of pregnancy, this thing is not so unusual. Even if this bleeding looks like the menstruation, they are, in fact, something else.

Why cannot you have period during pregnancy? Menstruation is caused by menstrual cycle. During the menstrual cycle your body produces hormones, which transmit signals to your genital organs in order to do specific actions. The increase of the hormonal quantity makes that your ovaries release an egg, which “travels” from the ovaries through the Fallopian tubes. Meanwhile, a protective cover of blood and tissue is thickened along the walls of the uterus. All these factors cause the menstruation.

During the pregnancy your body is working almost exclusively to take care of the baby. Your brain sends signals to the ovaries to stop a menstrual cycle, in order to have the possibility to offer the baby a propitious medium where the baby will develop and grow well. As result, instead of decreasing, the level of your hormones will raise constantly in the next nine months. This thing helps the uterus to get prepared for the growing and feeding of your baby.

If your organism continues to have the menstruation in the next nine months, while you are pregnant, the process will lead to the elimination in every month of the protective cover (which is helping the baby to feed) along the walls of the uterus. Biologically speaking, it would not be logic that this thing would happen. Therefore, you cannot have period during pregnancy and those bleedings during the time when you are pregnant and that many women experiment, are not related with the menstruation.

Decidual bleeding – one of the most common bleeding similar with the menstruation is the decidual bleeding. Sometimes, during the pregnancy, the hormones that your body produces can “go crazy” and are able to cause the detachment of some of the parts from the protective cover along the walls of the uterus. It is demonstrated that this affection is very common in the first trimester of pregnancy, before that the protective cover had been completely stuck to the placenta.

Even if it may be an unpleasant sensation, the decidual bleeding does not present any risks of health for you or for your baby. There are many reasons why you may have bleeding during the pregnancy. Most of them no not present any risks for you and your baby. If you are pregnant it is indicated to keep under observation all these bleeding. If you have abnormal bleeding during the pregnancy you must contact the doctor immediately.

HPV (Human Papilloma Virus) is a family of viruses, which involves almost 100 different types, which can infect the people. Some of these strains of HPV do not produce the signs or the symptoms of an infection; another ones may lead to genital warts, pre-cancerous lesions or even to cervical cancer.

<-336×280 Large Rectangle - center->

HPV virus can have a genital transmission: skin on skin (meaning by all the types of sex). The virus can be transmitted even if the person who has the infection does not present any symptoms of it.

Recently, the science men are making researches of some particular situation of HPV infection. A research direction is HPV and pregnancy (infection with Human Papilloma Virus during the pregnancy and the complications that the infection may produce to the pregnancy).

HPV and pregnancy – What is the impact on the mother? There are not yet sufficient studies that can demonstrate that the HPV infection can complicate a pregnancy, raise the risk of spontaneous miscarriage, of births before term, of pre-eclampsia or may lead to other pregnancy disorders. That is the reason why the tests for HPV are not usually made during the pregnancy. However, the tests for HPV diagnostic can be effectuated during the pregnancy if it discovered that you have genital warts or in the case of abnormal vaginal smear.

When the Papanicolau test is abnormal, the doctor can recommend you a colposcopy within it can be effectuated a biopsy if there is a suspicion of cancer caused by HPV infection. If there are not any proves of cancer, it is recommended to wait until birth in order to treat the infection.

Women who have genital warts produced by HPV infection will be put under medical observation during the entire pregnancy. The treatment is rarely recommended because the genital warts usually cure by themselves in a short time after birth. If the treatment is necessary, the therapeutic measures that can be taken are the following: cryotherapy (the genital warts are frozen with liquid nitrogen), an acid substance which chemically eliminates the warts, electro-ablation, medical procedures based on laser and classic surgery.

In certain cases the genital warts can cause problems during the pregnancy. They can increase their volume and they can bleed. Sometimes they grow enough to produce compressions and provoke micturition problems or, if they have another vaginal localization they can produce the reduction of the vagina’s elasticity or obstruction at birth. In this case it will be needed caesarian operation at birth.

Doctors do not know for certain which are the reasons why genital warts increase their volume during the pregnancy. It may be caused by some changes of the organism during the pregnancy, such as hormonal changes or immune changes. HPV and pregnancy – What is the impact on the baby? In the case when the mother is infected with HPV there is a small risk that the virus will be transmitted to the baby during the birth. Fortunately, even if the Human Papilloma Virus is transmitted to the baby, his/her organism is able to eliminate the infection of this virus.
