Among pregnant women, the debate between natural childbirth and cesarean section remains a prominent topic. At Erebuni Medical Center's Women's Health Center, consultations with ophthalmologists are pivotal, especially for those with myopia, corneal or pupil changes, and other ocular pathologies. Initial assessments aim to prevent visual system complications, while subsequent consultations aid in delivery method decisions.
Collaboration between ophthalmologists and obstetricians-gynecologists addresses the risks posed by hormonal fluctuations during pregnancy. From eye drop prescriptions to laser vision correction, every vision-related concern is meticulously addressed.
Beyond ocular health, pregnant women with conditions like diabetes, thyroid disorders, and cardiovascular diseases face heightened risks. Norayr Ghukasyan, Deputy Director of the Maternity Hospital, acknowledges the rising cesarean section rates, influenced by factors like maternal age and medical history.
Ghukasyan's observation that "One in four women worldwide undergoes cesarean section" underscores the global significance of this issue.
Upcoming sessions at Erebuni Medical Center will continue to address these concerns, with a particular focus on the natural childbirth versus cesarean section dilemma, ensuring comprehensive support for expectant mothers.
