Prevalence of Endocrinological Medications among Pregnant Women in the Military and Khartoum Teaching Hospitals, Khartoum, Sudan, 2016

Abstract

Normal women have intricate modifications to their maternal endocrine systems as a result of the heightened metabolic demands of pregnancy. Endocrinologic system disorders may have harmful repercussions on the mother, the embryo, or the fetus. Increases in infertility, spontaneous abortions, congenital deformities, abnormalities in maternal/ fetal metabolism, and maternal and fetal deaths are some of these impacts. Certain endocrine disorders, including gestational diabetes mellitus is emerge spontaneously during pregnancy. While pre-existing endocrine conditions (such thyroid issues) may aggravate, improve, or remain stable throughout gestation.
