Is it more likely that pregnant women will get toxoplasmosis?

Many pregnant women do not have any symptoms after being infected with Toxoplasmosis. Not every woman has the disease. Even if there are symptoms, they are generally not specific and atypical. Only by checking the four viral items can Toxoplasmosis be detected. The impact of infection may mainly increase the risk of miscarriage and premature birth. Even if there are no such symptoms, the child may have deformities in the subsequent development stage. Therefore, to determine whether you are infected with the virus, it is best to go to the hospital for a comprehensive examination. During pregnancy, you must avoid contact with pets, especially cats. The risk of infection with Toxoplasmosis is very high. After pregnancy, you must avoid raising pets to minimize this risk.

Most pregnant women infected with Toxoplasma gondii may not have any symptoms, but a very small number of pregnant women may experience miscarriage without obvious causes, premature birth, or even intrauterine fetal death. Pregnant women are infected with Toxoplasma gondii mainly through touching the excrement of small animals, especially cats and dogs. Therefore, it is recommended that pregnant women, especially in the early stages of pregnancy, minimize close contact with cats and dogs. If pregnant women are infected with Toxoplasma gondii in the early stages of pregnancy, it can infect the fetus through the placental barrier, causing a series of unexpected situations. Some fetuses can be delivered successfully, but some may suffer from deformities or brain damage.

There is currently no effective treatment, so if a pregnant woman is infected with Toxoplasma gondii in the early stages of pregnancy, abortion is recommended. Generally, screening for Toxoplasma infection will be carried out when the card is established in the early pregnancy, mainly to carry out prevention and intervention in advance.

Toxoplasma infection in pregnant women mainly includes dominant gene infection and latent infection. Latent infection is generally not easy to show clinical symptoms, but it can be transmitted to the fetus through the embryo. Toxoplasma infection with these dominant genes will cause some clinical manifestations, and may also cause patients to have fetal malformations, premature births and miscarriages. Therefore, once Toxoplasma infection is found, it is necessary to go to the hospital for treatment immediately to prevent damage to the fetus.
