The composition of Wobenzym contains only natural substances of plant and animal origin. However, this drug (as well as all others) during pregnancy is recommended to be taken with caution, and only on prescription.

What is a Wobenzym and how it works

Wobenzym - a drug, which comprises enzymes (enzymes) plant and animal origin, which help break down proteins, fats and carbohydrates, and take an active part in the action of various organs and systems. Additionally composed Wobenzym Wobenzym - indispensable in the complex therapy   includes Rutoside - bioflavonoid, which strengthens the vascular wall, reduces the threat of blood clots, improves blood circulation in the blood vessels and has an antioxidant effect. It is believed that Wobenzym has antimicrobial, antiviral, immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, anti-edematous and antithrombotic effect. Produces Wobenzym German pharmaceutical company Mukos Pharma.

This overall effect on the body allow to use it in a variety of diseases as part of a treatment including antibiotics with Antibiotics - whether they will help you in the foreseeable future? , The effectiveness of which it enhances. At the same time a broad spectrum of action and application of a variety of diseases, consistently with a positive therapeutic effect and virtually no side effects, alarming. The question arises: either the drug is not as effective as it is advertised, or it does have some side effects that producers have not been identified. That is why its use during pregnancy should be treated with caution.

The use of Wobenzym in pregnancy for immunity

During pregnancy, under the influence of hormones reduced immunity - a physiological response that does not allow the body to get rid of alien organisms - embryo. But the decline of immunity has a negative side: the woman becomes defenseless against infection.

In cold weather, cold and lying in wait for its own activation pathogenic microflora of upper respiratory tract, as well as viral infections. Sharpen and chronic infectious and inflammatory diseases, which began before pregnancy (but this is not always, in some women during pregnancy, in contrast, can completely disappear symptoms of chronic diseases). A significant threat during pregnancy may be latent sexual infections, which are beginning to manifest itself with a decrease in immunity.

It is believed that Wobenzym helps to cope with this problem during pregnancy. But assign it to a pregnant woman doctor can only after the examination, exclusion of contraindications to receiving this drug, the selection of the correct dosage and duration of treatment.

The use of Wobenzym to reduce the toxicity of the first half of pregnancy

In the first 12-16 weeks before the placenta is formed, women often have nausea, vomiting, salivation, which are called the first half of pregnancy toxemia. Today, it found that this condition is caused by a violation of adaptation to pregnancy women, which manifests itself in violation of coordination between the activities of the central nervous system (CNS) and the autonomic nervous system (ANS), which innervate the internal organs and blood vessels.

Such adjustment disorder occurs more often in women suffering from inflammatory diseases, endocrine disorders (eg, abortion-related), intoxication (eg, with frequent smoking) and so on. Disorders arising from the gastrointestinal tract (including enzymatic disorders), metabolism Metabolism: The basis of life of all living things , Excretion of the decay products of the hormones and so on contribute to the emergence of even greater violations of the CNS and ANS.

Vobenzim in this case is assigned to the removal from the body of the decay products of various biologically active substances (hormones, substances produced as a result of metabolic processes, and so on). Anti-inflammatory and anti-edema effect of this drug also contributes to harmonization of the general condition of the woman. But it must be very well aware of the fact that in the first half of pregnancy taking any medications pose a threat to the fetus - in this period is laying its tissues. Therefore Wobenzym may appoint a doctor, after weighing all the pros and cons.

The use of Wobenzym to reduce the toxicity of the second half of pregnancy

In the second half of pregnancy disorders of the CNS and ANS give rise to serious violations of the blood vessels. Such a condition called preeclampsia. It begins with the expansion of capillaries and irregularities in their blood circulation, which leads to swelling first, then the changes in the internal organs, primarily in the kidneys, high blood pressure Blood pressure - dangerous if his swing? . In severe cases, the affected brain head, which is already a threat to the woman's life.

Wobenzym, has anti-edematous, and antithrombotic action strengthens blood vessels, improves blood circulation in the capillaries, which facilitates the state of women. But hopefully that will have a significant effect of Wobenzym in gestosis is not necessary - it is an auxiliary drug, which is used in the complex treatment.

Hepatitis B and pregnancy - this is not an uncommon phenomenon. Today, found that more than half of the carriers of hepatitis B virus contracted the infection from the mother during pregnancy or childbirth. Nevertheless, it is established in the same way that the risk of infection of the child can be significantly reduced with proper supervision and treatment of pregnant women.

How to avoid trouble

Hepatitis B is a very common infection that is transmitted by blood. During pregnancy, fetal infection from the sick mother can occur through the placenta or during birth.

Therefore, in order to avoid possible complications during pregnancy, all women are encouraged to plan the birth of a child with conducting a comprehensive examination before conception. Including carried out blood tests for hepatitis. If a woman is not detected in the blood of HCV RNA particles B (HBsAg) and antibodies to the virus, it is recommended to be vaccinated against hepatitis. Only vaccination can prevent hepatitis B during pregnancy in case of infection. In addition, mandatory testing is also carried out on the virus of hepatitis D, which is often accompanied by hepatitis B and dramatically increase the weight of its course.

In general, in the absence of the woman phenomena of acute hepatitis or cirrhosis are no contraindications to pregnancy, since in most cases for hepatitis B during pregnancy is not changed. However, not always possible to predict what will be the reaction of the body of the woman is a combination of Hepatitis B and pregnancy.

Therefore, all women with hepatitis B and are planning a pregnancy should not only be tested, but treated, after which, if the liver function is not affected to a large extent, they are allowed the birth of a child.

Contraindications for pregnancy are acute hepatitis and severe liver in chronic hepatitis characteristic of cirrhosis.

Acute hepatitis B in pregnancy

Acute hepatitis B during pregnancy - this is very dangerous. The disease can be difficult because of the fact that the liver is a woman carries a double burden, clearing from toxic products of the body and the mother and child.

Acute hepatitis B Hepatitis B - a dangerous inflammation of the liver   It occurs in pregnant women in most cases, cyclically, as well as other patients. The incubation period of the disease is from six weeks to six months, after which a woman has a fever, there is a weakness, malaise, joint pain Joint pain - how to understand what is going on?   and after a while - yellow skin and sclera. Along with the yellow coloring sheets appear in the right upper quadrant pain, nausea, vomiting and indigestion. Acute hepatitis Hepatitis - the scourge of our time   It can last about four months, followed by a recovery, or, or the transition of the disease into a chronic form.

But sometimes the disease is as minimal symptoms (the main manifestation of such an infection is a weakness) and very hard (for lightning) with increasing hepatic encephalopathy (brain cell damage) and acute liver failure, which is the main cause of death of pregnant women. According to statistics, the risk of acute liver failure increases sharply during the third trimester in the presence of an additional obstetric pathology (eg, preeclampsia).

Chronic hepatitis B and pregnancy

Chronic hepatitis B rarely occurs with severe symptoms. Typically, patients complain of severe weakness, a complete lack of appetite, heaviness in the right upper quadrant Heaviness in the right upper quadrant - require examination Sometimes - the temperature rise to small numbers. Periodically, the activity of the inflammatory process may increase in this case appear jaundiced sclera coloration, skin, itchy skin, and digestive disorders such as nausea, vomiting, unstable chair.

If a woman becomes infected with chronic hepatitis B before pregnancy, during pregnancy, it rarely changes its course. In addition, in women already have protective antibodies, so the risk of infection of the child during pregnancy is not so great.

What complications can give hepatitis B during pregnancy

As with any infection, hepatitis B can cause miscarriage. In acute hepatitis can occur during intrauterine fetal death with subsequent miscarriage or premature birth and stillbirth. This can lead to a dramatic deterioration, and most women, including the development of acute renal failure.

During the chronic Hepatitis B miscarriage rare. But it is a risk of bleeding during childbirth, because there is a reduction of blood clotting.

For the prevention of hepatitis B in children during the first 12 hours after birth vaccinations against hepatitis B - it allows the child to prevent infecting more than 90% of cases. Babies born to mothers with hepatitis B, additionally introduced specific immunoglobulin containing antibodies to the infection.
