Perinatology Department is a specialty that carries out the identification, diagnosis and treatment of problematic pregnancies. After becoming a Gynecology and Obstetrics Specialist, it is necessary to take a minor specialization training in this subject for at least 3 years.
It is the science that deals with the health of both mother and baby. The aim is to identify risky situations and plan follow-up and treatment accordingly.
Risk pregnancy is a very broad concept. An important part of the risks; genetic structure, age and lifestyle determines. We can reduce some risks by changing our lifestyle (such as smoking, weight, drug use, exercise, stress). In fact, there are risks that concern more or less all pregnant women. The important thing is to identify those in the higher risk group and to take precautions, if any. We make this evaluation more effectively in the light of the following information;
