Questions About Perinatology
Perinatology is a branch of medicine that deals with the follow-up and management of high-risk pregnancies. A perinatologist should be consulted in cases such as situations that threaten maternal or fetal health, congenital anomalies, multiple pregnancies and pregnancy complications.
Prenatal diagnostic methods include ultrasonography, amniocentesis, chorionic villus sampling (CVS) and non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT). These methods are used for the diagnosis of genetic diseases, fetal development delays and congenital anomalies.
High-risk pregnancies are managed with regular periodic check-ups, special diagnosis and treatment methods, nutrition and exercise counseling, psychological support and birth planning. Perinatology specialists take the necessary precautions and create treatment plans to protect maternal and fetal health.
The risk of premature birth can be reduced with regular follow-up, bed rest, medication and appropriate birth planning. Babies born prematurely receive specialized care in neonatal intensive care units (NICU) and their health is regularly monitored.
The perinatologist determines the appropriate birth plan by evaluating the health status of the mother and the fetus. This plan covers issues such as the type of birth (normal birth, cesarean section), the place where the birth will take place, and postnatal care. The birth plan is prepared to protect the health of the mother and baby.
