Understanding Preganancy 101 Teratology and drugs in Pregnancy
A teratogen is an agent that can disturb the development of the embryo or Fetus. The clinical consequences of drug teratogens lead to developmental defects in humans. Defects may be due to genetic, environmental, or unknown causes. Drug use is an uncommon cause of birth defects, but certain medications can increase the risk of developing a birth defect.

“Impact of Pregnancy on Long Term Health World Women’s Day”
Pregnancy can have both positive and negative impacts on a woman's long-term health, depending on various factors such as age, pre-existing health conditions, and lifestyle habits. It can increase the risk of developing certain chronic health conditions such as hypertension, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease, especially in women who had gestational diabetes or preeclampsia during their pregnancy. On the other hand, pregnancy is known to have a protective effect against certain types of cancer such as ovarian and endometrial cancer, especially if a woman has had multiple pregnancies. It can have lasting effects on a woman's mental health, with some studies suggesting that women who experience postpartum depression may have an increased risk of depression and anxiety in the long-term.
Role of Anaesthesia in sustainable environment
Anesthesia plays a crucial role in reducing the carbon footprint of medical procedures by reducing the length of surgery and recovery time, leading to lower energy consumption and waste generation. The implementation of sustainable practices in anesthesia can also lead to cost savings for healthcare systems, further promoting environmental sustainability. By carefully monitoring and controlling the use of anesthetic drugs, waste and pollution can be reduced, while ensuring patient safety and comfort.
Endometriosis and Infertility.
The exact cause of endometriosis is unknown, but hormones, genetics, and immune system problems may play a role. Endometriosis can also lead to infertility by affecting the ovaries, fallopian tubes, and the tissues surrounding the uterus. Treatment for endometriosis-related infertility typically involves medication or surgery to remove the endometrial tissue. In vitro fertilization (IVF) and other assisted reproductive technologies can also help women with endometriosis and infertility to conceive.
Sleep Disorders in pregnancy
Pregnant women are at a higher risk for sleep apnea, a condition where breathing stops during sleep. RLS is a condition that causes an uncomfortable feeling in the legs and an urge to move them, interfering with sleep. Hormonal changes during pregnancy can cause night sweats, leading to disrupted sleep. Aches and pains in the joints and muscles can make it difficult to get comfortable and fall asleep .Gastrointestinal issues like Heartburn, nausea, and other digestive problems can interfere with sleep during pregnancy.

Most cervical cancers are squamous cell carcinomas. Risk factors for cervical cancer include Many sexual partners, early sexual activity, other sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
