The literature suggests that tobacco smoking is a significant risk factor for preterm birth. Publications in recent years point to the negative impact of smoking e-cigarettes and aicos on reproductive health. A retrospective and prospective analysis of the effect of smoking different types of cigarettes and second-hand smoke on the timing of childbirth was carried out. The study found statistically significant evidence of an increased risk of preterm birth in women who smoke cigarettes. However, there were no statistically significant findings on the effect of icosa, e-cigarette and passive smoking on the risk of preterm birth.
Presacral masses have a heterogeneous etiology. Most cystic masses are asymptomatic and are first detected during routine ultrasound examination. During pregnancy, presacral cysts can become infected and cause compression symptoms and therefore require monitoring. This article presents a clinical case of pregnancy and delivery in a woman with an asymptomatic large presacral cyst. This clinical observation once again points to the need for prepregnancy preparation and a competent multidisciplinary approach in the management of women of reproductive age.
Preterm birth is one of the leading causes of infant and neonatal mortality. Progressive placental and hypertensive disorders and pre-eclampsia often increase the proportion of induced preterm births. The study aims. There is conflicting evidence in the literature about the association of active and passive smoking with the risk of these gestational complications. The present study analysed the complications of pregnancy in smoking and non-smoking women according to the timing of delivery. According to the results, smoking is a significant risk factor for preterm birth, placental and hypertensive disorders. The chances of severe pre-eclampsia and fetal growth retardation were higher in women who smoked. The likelihood of these complications increases with the duration of smoking.
Postpartum haemorrhage is still the leading cause of maternal morbidity and mortality. Uterine artery embolisation (EMA) is an effective organ-preserving treatment for uncontrolled obstetric haemorrhage. To date, there is evidence that EMA may lead to a reduction in ovarian reserve. In the present study, we retrospectively and prospectively analyzed clinical manifestations of ovarian dysfunction in 30 women of reproductive age 1.5 years after uterine artery embolization during massive obstetric bleeding.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
