prof. Alert from Dr. COVID-19 Increases Risk of Premature Birth

Eskişehir Provincial Health Director Prof. Dr. Ugur Bilge, Recent COVID-19 most of the cases Delta He stated that it originated from the variant and especially increase in cases in pregnant women drew attention.

As it is known, COVID-19, which is more serious in pregnant women, is also risk of premature birth increasing.

Everyone should get two doses of the vaccine:

Compared to previous versions of the Delta variant more contagious Bilge, who underlined that there are more cases of COVID-19, at a young age Noting that the incidence of the disease in pregnant women has increased with the increasing incidence of the disease, he stated that everyone, whether or not they have survived COVID-19, two doses of vaccine emphasized that it should be

“In addition to being more contagious than the original or Alpha variants, the Delta variant now causes more serious illnesses and consequently hospitalizations in age groups where only mild infections were previously seen. With the recent decline of COVID-19 in the world, there has been an increase in the incidence of this disease in pregnant women, and as a result, deaths due to COVID-19 are observed in pregnant women. ‘ said the wise, “Both the risk of serious illness due to COVID-19 and the risk of preterm birth increase during pregnancy. COVID-19 is more severe in pregnant women. It is therefore recommended that all persons aged 12 years and over be vaccinated against COVID-19, including those who are pregnant, breastfeeding, trying to become pregnant, or may become pregnant in the future. Adding to his words, he underlined that pregnant and lactating mothers and everyone aged 12 and over should be vaccinated against COVID-19.

It’s not the vaccine that causes infertility, COVID-19:

wise, “Vaccines do not cause infertility. It is known that COVID-19 causes disorders related to the reproductive system. Anyone who has had COVID-19 should also be vaccinated. It is known that people who still have COVID-19 in the world have the same disease and have complications. In addition, those who have COVID-19 but are not vaccinated are at twice the risk of being reinfected than those who are fully vaccinated. He pointed out that the cause of infertility is COVID-19, not the vaccine, and that everyone should have 2 doses of vaccine, even if they have survived the disease.

“While natural immunity declines sooner than previously thought, there are also theories that vaccines can give us stronger and longer immunity. For this reason, those who survived the disease should definitely be vaccinated in full dose. The delta variant causes twice as many hospitalizations, especially in people who are unvaccinated or only partially vaccinated. It is even more important than before that young adults are also vaccinated in 2 full doses. Because the prejudice that this age group will not have severe COVID-19 patients is unfortunately no longer true. “ Bilge said, emphasizing the importance that young people should also be vaccinated.
