Admit it, what is the first thought you have when the door opens and a pregnant woman enters the office? I don't know about you, but mine is, “Oh my God! Why did she come on my shift?!”.

Are you smiling? You recognize yourself? And indeed, kudos to the therapist who is confident in his or her knowledge when across from the expectant mother who is either coughing, or complaining of abdominal pain, or fever, or hypertension, or diarrhea, etc.

In pregnant women, some indicators change, and this worries the doctor: is this the normal physiology of this period, or is it necessary to take some measures? Tachycardia, the appearance of negative T in several leads on the ECG, constipation, leukocytosis, increased ALT and the same D-dimer, increased urination, even an increase in T4. How do we treat all of this?

The issue you are holding in your hands is dedicated to women's health. But we decided to make the main emphasis specifically on the problems of non-gynecological diseases in the pregnant woman. Antiphospholipid syndrome, intrahepatic cholestasis, arterial hypertension, and much more.

Enjoyable and useful reading!
