Gynecology and Obstetrics Specialist Op. Dr. Ali Fuat Şengör, pointing out that the age of marriage is advancing due to social or intellectual reasons, said, “Pregnancy can be possible from the age of 18 until the age of 34, after the age of 34, the quality of eggs begins to decrease, especially after the age of 37, it progresses further. The most suitable age is between the ages of 20 and 30.”
Private Vitale Hospital Gynecology and Obstetrics Specialist Op. Dr. Ali Fuat Şengör made statements about the things to be considered during pregnancy and the gestational age. Uzm. Dr. Şengör stated that with the increase in the number of university students, the age of conception and childbearing has advanced.
“Egg quality starts to decline after the age of 34”
Op. Dr. Şengör said, “People's reproductive ability decreases with age, but as the age of marriage advances, the age of marriage is gradually delayed for social or intellectual reasons, and accordingly, the age of conception and childbearing advances. People's ability to reproduce declines with age because we are exposed to harmful agents without realizing it. Radioactive conditions, electromagnetic waves, chemicals, chemicals, the food we eat, all cause deterioration in our cell structure. From the age of 18 until the age of 34, pregnancy is possible, after the age of 34, the egg reserve and egg quality begin to decrease, especially after the age of 37. The most suitable age is between 20 and 30. The ideal birth structure is variable, the physical and genetic structure of the person may be effective, familial genetic diseases and early menopause should not be ignored, it would be better for a doctor to examine and decide as a result of the necessary hormone test and examination.”
“The weight a pregnant woman should gain is between 9 and 12 kg”
Gynecology and Obstetrics Specialist Op. Dr. Ali Fuat Şengör drew attention to the importance of nutrition during pregnancy. Stating that pregnancy is a situation that many women desire, Şengör emphasized the importance of the mother to think of herself as 2 people during the process. Şengör continued as follows: “During pregnancy, expectant mothers should think of themselves as two people, not one person, pregnancy is a natural process, but of course we have some suggestions for expectant mothers, especially for nutrition during pregnancy. If possible, it is useful to get in touch with a dietician, apart from that, pregnant women should consume plenty of fluids, especially during the hot summer period. They should avoid salt and excessive carbohydrates such as sugary products and doughy foods as much as possible. We wish them to consume fresh vegetables and especially fruits of the season, foods containing vitamin B such as a handful of nuts and walnuts every day, daily eggs, weekly meat consumption, and healthy seafood if available. Above all, she should drink plenty of fluids and eat a balanced diet at regular intervals. The weight that a pregnant woman should gain is between 9 and 12 kg, and in the first three months there is usually loss of appetite and weight loss. Starting from the third month, women start to gain weight, the ideal state is a maximum of 12 kilograms.”
“If there is no risk during pregnancy, physical activities can be continued”
Underlining that pregnancy is not a disease, Op. Dr. Ali Fuat Şengör explained that if there is no risky situation during the process, normal physical activities can be continued. Şengör said, “Pregnancy is something that is in the woman's nature, if there is no risky situation after a good doctor's examination, she can continue her normal sports activities. It can be pregnancy pilates, swimming, walking, but if there is a risk of miscarriage, bleeding risk or bleeding condition, she should take care of herself. Pregnancy is not a disease, normally our ancestors and grandfathers worked in the fields and gave birth to healthy children. If there is no danger of miscarriage, it should not be seen as a disease, she should continue her normal physical activity. We can recommend swimming in coastal areas, extreme physical activity, cycling, motorcycling, sports that may be exposed to falls or trauma should be avoided.”
“Genetic or chromosomal reasons cause miscarriage”
Noting that women face a risk of miscarriage between 5 and 8 percent during pregnancy, Op. Dr. Ali Fuat Şengör gave the following statements: “In general, 95 percent of miscarriages are caused by what we call genetic or chromosomal disorders. When there is a faulty fertilization at the time of fertilization, the baby does not continue its development. We call this situation early pregnancy loss. It is very difficult to prevent the pregnancy I mentioned. In addition, infections during pregnancy, internal diseases such as thyroid and diabetes, severe febrile diseases can lead to miscarriage. We can prevent these. But it is very difficult to prevent miscarriages due to genetic or chromosomal causes, of course medical advances continue. If there is a carrier of a genetic or chromosomal disorder, in recent years, this disorder can be detected by in vitro fertilization and miscarriage can be prevented by selecting a healthy embryo.”
“In infertility, male-related problems can be encountered”
Stating that if a married couple is not protected, pregnancy will be caught at a rate of 85 percent, Uzm. Dr. Ali Fuat Şengör completed his speech as follows: “If a married couple does not use contraception, 85 percent of them will get pregnant within a year, and around 15 percent of them are people with baby problems that we call infertility. We usually treat people with this disorder, but we cannot get a response from the treatment of some patients, these are more advanced disorders. The age of marriage, harmful habits, surgeries the patient has undergone are important factors that can disrupt the conception process of women. There are male factors and female factors, the female factor is more prominent. Although the male factor is a little lower, we also encounter such problems. We can give a rate of around 55-60 percent female and 40 percent male.”
