Pregnancy is a crucial step, which must be decided only after a thorough examination. Many women neglect this important condition, which subsequently leads to depressing consequences. Examination before pregnancy significantly increases the ability to safely complete the pregnancy and give birth to a healthy and full-fledged baby.
A full examination before pregnancy includes a round of doctors of the following specialties: therapist, gynecologist, ophthalmologist, dentist, cardiologist and others, depending on the state of health of the future woman in labor.
Gynecologist.
Every woman planning a conception must undergo gynecological examinations. They include a standard smear for infections, inflammation and microflora. Do not do without an examination on the chair, as a result of which the doctor will be able to determine or suggest the presence of any diseases. If cervical erosion is diagnosed, conservative treatment is necessary. Cauterizing erosion before the first pregnancy is not recommended, since the scar on the uterus may not withstand a large load with an increase in the uterus during pregnancy.
After the examination on the chair and a detailed questioning of the patient about the state of health, the doctor will prescribe an ultrasound of the pelvic organs and abdominal cavity, as well as an examination of the mammary and thyroid glands. An ultrasound examination will show organ diseases and the possibility of unhindered conception in the absence of developmental abnormalities.
If the menstrual cycle is irregular, it is necessary to take hormone tests. With an imbalance of hormones, hormone therapy will be prescribed with subsequent re-analysis.
It is very important for women planning pregnancy to be tested for infections. This is necessary to prevent pregnancy complications and deviations in the development of the baby. For example, a rubella infectious disease during pregnancy can lead to deformity and disability of the fetus.
Tests for genital infections are included in the examination before pregnancy and examination during pregnancy. These are tests for ureaplasma, mycoplasma, chlamydia, human herpes, cytomegalovirus and other infections.
In case of detection of infections that are in an active state, that is, capable of harming a woman and bearing a pregnancy, it is necessary to conduct treatment. Both partners should be treated, as infections are transmitted sexually.
Therapist.
When visiting a therapist, you need to tell everything about your health and previous illnesses. According to the hospital card and the story, the therapist will prescribe the necessary tests and examinations. A general urine and blood test, a biochemical blood test and a coagulation test are required.
Ophthalmologist.
For an independent delivery, the conclusion of an optometrist about the condition of the patient's eyes is necessary. The predisposition to detachment of the retina during exercise and pressure on the eyes during childbirth, as well as other ophthalmic diseases, is studied.
Dentist.
During pregnancy, dental problems can occur. Due to a decrease in the amount of vitamins and minerals in the mother's body, increased brittleness of teeth, the occurrence of caries and other dental diseases can be observed. Therefore, it is necessary to undergo an examination before pregnancy and solve all, even small, problems with the oral cavity in order to reduce the likelihood of manifestations of diseases during gestation. In addition, during pregnancy you can not use anesthesia and X-rays - this can damage the development of the fetus.
