///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Maternal mortality, while often preventable, can result from various factors. Here are some common causes: Obstetric Hemorrhage: Excessive bleeding during childbirth, either before, during, or after delivery, can lead to maternal death if not promptly managed. Hypertensive Disorders: Conditions like pre-eclampsia and eclampsia, characterized by high blood pressure during pregnancy, can result in severe complications for both the mother and baby. Infections: Maternal deaths can occur due to infections such as sepsis, postpartum infections, or complications from sexually transmitted infections. Unsafe Abortions: In regions where access to safe abortion services is limited, women may resort to unsafe methods, leading to severe complications and maternal mortality. Obstructed Labor: When the baby cannot pass through the birth canal due to issues like cephalopelvic disproportion or malpresentation, it can lead to obstructed labor, which, if not managed promptly, can be fatal for both the mother and baby. Pre-existing Health Conditions: Women with pre-existing medical conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, or HIV/AIDS are at higher risk of maternal mortality if their conditions are not adequately managed during pregnancy and childbirth. Lack of Access to Healthcare Services: Limited access to quality prenatal care, skilled birth attendants, emergency obstetric care, and transportation to medical facilities can significantly increase the risk of maternal death, especially in low-resource settings. Socioeconomic Factors: Poverty, lack of education, and social inequality can contribute to maternal mortality by limiting women's access to healthcare, nutrition, and information about pregnancy and childbirth. Child Marriage and Adolescent Pregnancy: Girls who become pregnant at a young age, especially in regions where child marriage is prevalent, face higher risks of maternal complications and death due to their bodies not being fully developed for childbirth. Cultural and Societal Factors: Cultural practices, gender discrimination, and stigma surrounding pregnancy and childbirth may prevent women from seeking timely and appropriate medical care, leading to adverse outcomes. |
