Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Faculty of Medicine, BEU. Dr. Ülkü Özmen gave information about the frequency of Covid-19 in pregnant women, precautions and measures to be taken.
Stating that pregnant patients have decreased immune system and should pay more attention to themselves. Dr. Özmen, in cases so far, said that the baby in the womb was not infected. However, stating that the mother candidates should pay more attention to themselves during this period, Professor. Dr. Özmen, “How does the common pandemic affect pregnant women? Is there a high number of pregnant women? I am happy to say that this infection is rare in pregnant women.
Influenza infections affect the pregnant very seriously. Pregnant women may also experience some decrease in immune status. We have seen that Covid infection is a virus that affects conditions such as hypertension and chronic disease. A very new infection yet. Research continues. According to the data we have obtained, as far as we can see now, they fall into a slightly less risky group due to the fact that people in pregnancy are especially young population and they do not have chronic diseases. As women, we take care of ourselves more when we are pregnant. We pay more attention to our health. ”
ATTENTION AFTER BIRTH!
Saying that they detected 3 cases in the hospital, Professor. Dr. Özmen said, “A virus that loses its chance to live very quickly when we take the necessary precautions. Pregnant women should pay much more attention. I think we are really running the corona virus business successfully.
How do we know if Covid is suspected? The same symptoms occur in pregnant women. The mask is very important. It is very important that both the patient and the other person wear it. If you keep the distance, the risk of getting caught is reduced. We saw that the data from China and in our experience did not infect the baby. But after birth, it can be transmitted to the baby.
3 baby records have been observed so far. These babies were preterm babies. There was such a risk factor. We see that Covid-19 does not pass from mother to baby. This is a very important thing for us. Many viral infections are passed from mother to baby and this is a disease we worry about. Influenza infection scares us a lot. We have not seen the baby for now, but we can say for now. We will be able to provide better information in the future, ”he said.
AL LET’S DON’T LEAVE MEASURES ‘
Professor Dr. Özmen said that although the Covid-19 outbreak has decreased, measures should not be overlooked. Professor Dr. Özmen said:
“The flu is now mutated. Our intensive care patient has decreased a little now, but Covid-19 still exists. We will take all precautions in the awareness of this. We will pay attention to our hygiene. We will wear our mask. The current infection has decreased a little as it is now, but that doesn’t mean it’s destroyed. If you have a chronic illness, you can see the infection with the same severity. So if you have it, you can have it. This is the most important. In order to be protected from all viral infections, we need to pay attention to our mask, social distance and hygiene. ” DHA
