Dysbacteriosis is quite common during pregnancy. This disease means disruption of the functions of the gastrointestinal tract. Many factors affect the occurrence of this disease, but it should be remembered that during pregnancy this diagnosis is dangerous because the immunity decreases. If there is a violation of microflora, immunity decreases, the risk of penetration of various bacteria increases, which, during pregnancy, has unpleasant consequences for the mother and baby.
How does dysbiosis manifest during an interesting situation?
In this disease there is a large number of pathogenic flora. And these are proteins, streptococci, staphylococci and other microorganisms. Symptoms of dysbiosis are very diverse. This pathology is characterized during pregnancy by bloating, belching, fever above 37.5 degrees. And also there are heartburn, allergic reactions, an unpleasant taste in the mouth, etc.
The human body is inhabited by various kinds of bacteria. Useful bacteria protect the body from viruses and "control" the presence of pathogenic microbes. At the same time, these bacteria participate in the digestion of food, promote the breakdown of complex proteins and carbohydrates, help digest vitamins, fats, iron, etc. If the "microbial balance" in the intestine begins to actively develop pathogenic microorganisms, resulting in useful bifidobacteria and lactobacilli perish. As a result, metabolism, hepatic toxins, carcinogens, neurotoxins enter the blood. Violated local immunity, antiviral protection is reduced. This process negatively affects pregnancy, because the body remains unprotected from bacteria.
What are the causes of bacteriosis?
Bacteriosis in pregnancy can develop from the use of antibiotics, which kill the microorganisms necessary to maintain the balance of microflora. Some experts believe that the radiation of household appliances also has a negative impact on the microflora of the body, affects the state of the environment (the level of air pollution). Also, inadequate nutrition affects the development of bacteriosis. Nowadays, a large number of products contain dyes, preservatives and other chemical additives. The consequence of this disease can be other disorders of the body. These are diseases associated with the gastrointestinal tract, changes in hormonal metabolism and salt metabolism, allergic reactions, etc.
How to avoid the development of this disease during pregnancy
In order for dysbacteriosis to not be able to develop during pregnancy, it is best to take the measures in advance. To treat this pathology is possible, but not desirable, because any drugs have a negative effect on the child. To reduce the risk of this disease, you need to even before conceiving a child, cure possible chronic diseases. The diet of a pregnant woman should be correct and balanced. For the prevention of the disease, it is advisable to use future products such as dog rose, prunes, dried apricots, red currants. And also cranberries, bread with bran, oatmeal, dill, carrots. It is useful to use sour-milk products, which are rich in bifidobacteria and lactobacilli. A woman during pregnancy will have a minimal chance of having a dysbiosis with taking multivitamin preparations. These drugs are able to replenish the deficiency of essential nutrients that do not enter the body with ordinary food.
If a pregnant woman gets a dysbacteriosis, you should immediately seek help from a doctor. Self-medication is not worth it. In our time, the treatment of this pathology during pregnancy is carried out by prebiotics. They help develop beneficial bacteria by destroying harmful bacteria. Also, when treating a specialist, the nutrition of the pregnant woman is adjusted.
