WHY YOU WILL NEVER BE PREGNANT

The joy of any woman is to have a baby of her own .As great
As this may sound , many a woman will never cuddle any baby
In their life time. This is no curse. It is the habit and the damnable
Life style of some that will rob them of the desired fruit of
the womb.

First on the list is the issue of Frozen Pelvis. This occurs
As a result of repeated infection of the reproductive tract.
From sexually transmitted diseases. The inflammation
Accompanying this repeated chronic infection causes serous
Exudates that plasters the tubes, the ovaries and other
Reproductive structures on the pelvis. The pelvis appears
Frozen

The implication of a frozen pelvis is that the normal
Anatomy of the reproductive pathway becomes distorted.
There is associated abdominal pain and impedance to free
Passage of eggs through the fallopian tube during ovulation
with consequent infertility.


Efforts must not be spared in treating infections of the private
Parts. Early visit to the clinic and compliance to drug regimen
And duration must be sacrosanct. The duration of treatment of
Such infection can be up to two weeks. The temptation
Has always been to stop medication when symptoms have
Subsided. This must be resisted and strict adherence to
Duration of treatment must be the norm.

Similar to Frozen Pelvis is Tubal Blockade. This is as a result
Of movement of disease causing pathogen to the fallopian
Tubes with consequent blockade with time. When the tubes
Are blocked ovulation becomes a wasted exercise because
Passage of eggs becomes practically impossible.


Fibroid, which is abnormal growth from the muscle of the
Uterus can also protrude into the lumen of the uterus where
It can prevent implantation of the fertilized eggs or completely
Block the entrance of the fallopian tubes in to the uterus. Fibroid
Can be surgically removed. This is a serious cause of infertility.


Hormonal imbalance may also cause infertility. Patients who
Are lactating when not pregnant may have problem with some
Hormones in the body. Some other hormones assist ovulation
And prepare the uterus for implantation. When in adequate
Amount. So, hormonal assay is the answer to ascertain the
Adequacy of hormone of pregnancy.

Less frequent but important causes of infertility include
Some social activities like excessive smoking, alcohol
Consumption and over work. Lack of adequate coital
Interaction from pressure of work and other related
Social reasons.

To be pregnant efforts must not be spared in active
Infection treatment, improved social life and general
Body care.

REASONS WHY MOTHERS DIE DURING PREGNANCY

Doctors would say pregnancy is just a normal physiological
condition.
Mothers, however still die from this an otherwise
Innocuous process of procreation. Though this phenomenon
may be said to be prevalent in the third world countries and
And among the flotsam and jetsam of the dredges of this
World; pockets of such unfortunate incidence, nonetheless
Still occur in the so called civilized setting.

The first reason for death among mothers is bleeding disorders
in pregnancy (hemorrhagic disorders). When placenta, through
Which the baby feeds is abnormally sited close to the opening
Of the uterus, they tend to bleed profusely. The bleeding may
Be occasioned by the placental bruising or total dislodgement.


If corrective measures are not put in place by mother’s resuscitation
and sometimes caesarean section, mother may die.
Other serious causes of bleeding are Abruptio placenta, cervical
laceration and sometimes uterine rupture.

Pre eclampsia, which is a severe hypertension with excess urinary
Protein in pregnancy is also a potent cause of death in mothers. If
Left untreated this may graduate into a frank severe convulsion
otherwise known as eclampsia .This type of convulsion is always
associated with loss of consciousness. Graduation to eclampsia
is always heralded by severe headache, chest pain or blurring of
vision.

Pregnancy is always associated with clot formation in the blood
vessels. When these clots are dislodged they move into the blood
vessels of the lungs. These may be occluded in the process causing
sudden breathing difficulties and eventual death.
Mothers should be ambulant avoiding unnecessary sedentary life style.
A little exercise will go a long way in saving the situation.


Mothers whose babies have stopped kicking should call for help.
A dead baby that has stayed in the uterus for an extended period
of time may leak out certain chemicals into the mother’s blood
vessels. This may increase tendencies for reduced clot formation
In mothers. Excessive bleeding may ensue from disseminated
coagulopathies. Doctors must be seen when it is assumed that
there is intra uterine fetal death. .


These are some of the causes of maternal death. Eternal vigilance
is the key.Pregnancy is a thing of joy, it must not be allowed to
consign our women to their early grave
