Lateral gangina during pregnancy
Lateral gangina during pregnancy does not represent an acute risk situation.Of course there are exceptions; however, the transmission of the responsible germs to the unborn child has not yet been observed. In general, the following applies to diseases during pregnancy: The earlier in pregnancy the mother falls ill, the more serious the effects on the unborn child can become. The immune system of the pregnant woman is challenged during this time anyway, so that the probability of falling ill is increased compared to a woman who is not pregnant.
Affected patients should, however, always consult a doctor to have the responsible germ determined. As a rule, the doctor will try to treat the lateral strangulation without antibiotics and with as few other drugs as possible. However, if this conservative treatment method does not bring the desired success, drug treatment is unavoidable.
Pregnant women should never take any medication of their own accord and should follow the doctor’s recommendations. Antibiotics as well as other medications can have a negative effect on the development of the unborn child. In this case the physician speaks of a terratogenic effect of these drugs.
