Experts remind female friends that they must have a physical examination before pregnancy. disease After you are cured or under control, follow your doctor's advice before getting pregnant again to avoid regrets in the future. So what diseases should women suffer from to avoid pregnancy? What should women pay attention to before pregnancy? Next, I will introduce them one by one for your reference.

      Women suffering from these eight diseases should not be pregnant

      1. Anemia

      If women with anemia are not treated in time, they may suffer from malnutrition after pregnancy, aggravate anemia, and even intrauterine growth retardation, premature birth or risk of stillbirth. For pregnant women, it may also cause anemic heart and heart failure, Postpartum Bleeding, postpartum infection, etc. Therefore, it is best for women with anemia to wait until the anemia is cured before becoming pregnant.

      2. Heart disease

      If you have heart disease before pregnancy and do not receive timely and effective treatment, the pregnant woman is likely to develop cardiac insufficiency, leading to miscarriage, premature birth, placental insufficiency, etc.

      3. Liver disease

      If a pregnant woman has liver disease, she may infect her baby. Therefore, women with liver disease should make sure that their condition is under control and stable before becoming pregnant, and they must not get pregnant during the infectious period of liver disease. And after pregnancy, you still need to follow the doctor’s advice vaccinate hepatitis vaccine , blocking the possibility of infection to the baby.

      4. Kidney disease

      Pregnancy of women with kidney disease may not only cause pregnancy-induced hypertension, but may also be detrimental to the development of the fetus, causing fetal growth retardation, and in severe cases, miscarriage, premature birth, etc. Pregnant women may also suffer from kidney failure and uremia.

      5. High blood pressure

      Pregnant women with high blood pressure are more likely to develop pregnancy-induced hypertension syndrome.

      6. Diabetes

      Women with diabetes are prone to gestational diabetes after pregnancy. If it is not well controlled, it may lead to miscarriage, premature birth, and even macrosomia.

      7. Tuberculosis

      If a pregnant woman has infectious tuberculosis, it may lead to miscarriage and premature birth. If you take anti-tuberculosis drugs during pregnancy, it will inevitably affect the development of the fetus.

      8. Sexually transmitted diseases

      If STDs are not cured during pregnancy, they can cause fetal growth retardation and can also be transmitted vertically to the baby. Most STDs can be cured with regular treatment.

      Precautions for women before pregnancy

      1. Find out you are pregnant in time

      Some women look forward to getting pregnant sooner, but don't know if they are already pregnant. Sometimes, when it is clear that one is pregnant and her menstrual period is overdue, she still thinks it is irregular menstruation and takes medicines for regulating menstruation and promoting blood circulation without authorization, which may lead to very dangerous consequences and may even cause infertility.

      2. Choose the appropriate pregnancy age and season

      From the perspective of childbearing age, the ideal age for women to conceive is 25 to 30 years old, and the best age for conception is 25 or 26 years old. Premature pregnancy is prone to cervical cancer. If the pregnancy is too late, the fetus is prone to congenital defects, malformations, and the rate of dystocia will also increase.

      The best time to get pregnant also depends on the season. It is generally recommended to conceive in spring, that is, in March, April, and May. Conception occurs at this time, and when the fetus develops to about 3 months, it is the time when brain cells develop most rapidly and nutrients are most needed - it also happens to be the summer months from June to August, which is the season when the supply of vegetables, fruits, eggs, and meat is most abundant on the market, which is enough to meet the needs of pregnant women. Moreover, the climate is stable from March to May, and pregnant women are less susceptible to colds and other diseases.

      3. Avoid vaccinations

      If you, a couple, are going to get pregnant and the health department requires people to get vaccinated because of the prevalence of certain diseases, you need to think twice. Generally speaking, if vaccines are not required during this period, vaccination should be avoided as much as possible.

      If it is a live virus vaccine, such as rubella, measles, etc., it should be absolutely avoided to avoid infection of the fetus. Even with cholera and other lethal vaccines, although the embryo will not be infected, it can still cause miscarriage once an immune response such as high fever occurs. The hepatitis vaccine is a gene-synthesized vaccine that is mostly harmless to the fetus, but vaccination should be avoided during pregnancy.

      Of course, if you are suffering from a life-threatening disease, such as being in close contact with a sick person in an epidemic-prone area, or being bitten by a mad dog and risking rabies, or tetanus, etc., your life is still the most important thing and you must get vaccinated.
