La endometriosis es una enfermedad debilitante que afecta al 10 % de las mujeres de todo el mundo. Cuando su diagnóstico se retrasa, corren el riesgo de sufrir problemas de salud mayores, como daños en útero e intestinos, o infertilidad.
Further exploring this connection could potentially lead to better treatment of the condition.
Maternal antibodies are passed through the placenta to the fetus, providing protection against COVID hospitalisation for infants.
Severe COVID raises the risk of preterm birth, being admitted to intensive care and still birth – so everyone who is pregnant should get vaccinated.
There is immense interest in understanding whether potentially protective SARS-CoV-2 antibodies are provided to the baby via breast milk. This is what we know so far.
Excluir a las mujeres embarazadas de los ensayos de la vacuna COVID-19 pone en riesgo su salud.
Researchers in the US are the first to study how pregnant and breast-feeding women are responding to the vaccines. The results are promising
Theories that antibodies affect the placenta are completely unfounded.
Your immune system changes when you are pregnant, and this may help protect you and your child from COVID-19 – but we need more research to understand this better.
Understanding how pregnancy changes some of the body’s fundamental systems could help treat cancer and other diseases.
