At Medicover, prevention is the central pillar of the medical services offered. Through an integrated, patient-centered approach, Medicover specialists aim for early identification of risk factors and medical conditions in their early stages, when treatments are most effective and chances of recovery are greatest.
Pregnancy is a period of major transformations for the body of expectant mothers, including the blood system. The increase in blood volume and the changes in coagulation mechanisms, necessary for the protection of the body during childbirth, can favor the appearance or worsening of some hematological problems, such as anemia, coagulation disorders or the risk of thrombosis.
In this context, close collaboration between obstetricians and hematologists becomes essential for the prevention and management of complications that may endanger the health of the mother and child.
“The hematological complications associated with pregnancy represent a great challenge and therapeutic success is conditioned by an excellent collaboration between the obstetrician and the hematologist” says Prof. Dr. Daniel Coriu, doctor of medical sciences, primary doctor of Hematology and Doctor of Medicine, Medicover Pipera Hospital.
Globally, statistics show that approximately 40% of pregnant women experience various hematological conditions, from iron deficiency anemia, which is the most common of the blood system in pregnancy, to coagulation disorders.
Diseases of the blood system increase the risk of complications during pregnancy. Pregnant women are at increased risk of thrombosis and bleeding, as well as blood pressure disorders (preeclampsia). At the fetal level, fetal hypoxia, intrauterine growth restriction and premature birth may occur.
To ensure a complete and safe monitoring of each pregnancy, the obstetrician doctors of the Medicover Băneasa Maternity Hospital collaborate with the specialists of the Hematology Department of the Medicover Pipera Hospital. Careful monitoring and interdisciplinary collaboration can make the difference between a high-risk pregnancy and a safe term.
