Nevertheless, scheduled survey of spouses before conception can solve many problems, in particular to prevent intrauterine infection in the fetus caused by herpes virus.
one. Why need to be examined at herpes virus before pregnancy, if you still get rid of it is impossible?
Indeed, it is impossible to cure herpetic infection, but no one puts such tasks. The goal is to prepare the body of a woman, strengthening its immunity, increasing the resistance of the body, which will not allow herpes virus to be intensified in the responsible period of having a child.
2. What is so dangerous herpes virus?
The disease Herpes during pregnancy can lead to miscarriage, malformations of the fetus, in particular microcephali, microftralmia, chorioretinitu. The child's infection can be fraught with the development of the disseminated form of infection flowing with the lesion of the liver, spleen, bleeding, pneumonia, encephalitis and 90–95% of cases leading to death, especially if the kid is born premature. In light cases, herpetic infection leads to lesions of the skin and mucous.
3. How can the child get?
In 85% of cases, the child's infection occurs intranatally, that is, during childbirth, when passing through labor pathways. Interestingly, the virus is transmitted from the mother to the newborn, regardless of whether the clinical manifestations of herpes are currently in the field of genital organs of a woman or not, that is, infection proceeds asymptomatic. The danger of infection increases at times, if there are herpetic rashes on the cervical canal and vulva and vulva, if the premature rupture of the fetal shells is preceded, a long anhydrous period, if the doctors have to use instrumental interventions in childbirth.
Herpes can be transmitted to the newborn and after birth, while contact with a mother having skin manifestations of infection.
4. What herpes is most dangerous for pregnant, genital or ordinary?
For a pregnant woman and fruit, the greatest danger is a genital herpes, but not even the very fact of its presence, and infection them during pregnancy. Such cases lead to intrauterine infection of the fetus and have the most serious consequences. Therefore, it is necessary to examine on the herpes virus not only a woman, but also her sexual partner, regardless of whether he has the manifestations of infection.
As statistics, only 20% of the people infected with the virus have a confirmed diagnosis, in 60% disease proceeds in atypical form, in 20% — In imscimal. In such cases, it is possible to identify the virus with the help of analyzes.
If a woman's partner finds herpes, and there is no woman, it is important to prevent infection during pregnancy.
five. What if the woman is already pregnant?
Survey on herpes virus need in any case. If it is detected, but there is no disease manifestations, treatment is not required. Subsequently, a local treatment with antiviral drugs is carried out by antiviral drugs, they are practically not absorbed into the blood and cannot affect the development of the fetus.
Especially important assessment of the condition of the genital paths before childbirth. If a woman is close to childbirth, herpetic rashes on the genitals are observed, or she suffered a primary episode of herpes during pregnancy, for the prevention of fetal infection, it shows a planned delivery by the cesarean operation.
6. Pregnant woman with herpes is almost no chance to give birth to a healthy child?
Everything is not so gloomy. According to statistics, 40% of people suffer from ordinary (labial) herpes, another 20% have a genital (sex) option of infection. Many women manage the power of their own immunity to suppress the development of the virus, to safely make pregnancy and give birth to a healthy baby, but the risk of infection still exists, which means it needs to minimize.
7. Maybe the drugs stimulating immunity will help?
It is quite logical: if the immune system is fighting with viruses, it is necessary to strengthen it, but by what means? The use of immunostimulants can give an effect, which is the opposite expected. Unmunistic intervention without prior study of the immune system is fraught with the development of autoimmune diseases, the formation of blood clots in the placenta vessels, impaired uterine-placental circulatory circulation, developmental delay and fetal death. During pregnancy, only the use of interferon drugs with antiviral activity and immunomodulatory action is justified, which is practiced for the prevention of recurrences of herpetic infection.
eight. And what about herpes on the lips?
As a rule, labile herpes, manifested by characteristic rashes on lips, does not affect pregnancy. Moreover, antibodies formed in the mother's body in response is not the introduction of herpes virus, are transmitted to the fetus and for three months after childbirth protect the baby from infection. However, newly minted mothers with «cold» Care is recommended on the lips when careing the kid: Wash your hands thoroughly before touching the child, avoid kisses and wear a one-time bandage until the rashes on the lips get sick. For the treatment of herpetic rashes, it is recommended to use antiviral ointment.
