Area of Science:

  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Hematology

Background:

  • Pregnancy induces substantial physiological changes in coagulation and fibrinolysis.
  • These hemostatic alterations aim to prevent excessive bleeding during childbirth.
  • However, they elevate the risk of thromboembolic events in the antepartum and postpartum periods.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the primary thrombotic and hemorrhagic disorders that complicate pregnancy.
  • To provide an overview based on existing literature data.

Main Methods:

  • Literature analysis of thrombotic and hemorrhagic disorders in pregnancy.

Main Results:

  • Physiological procoagulant changes during pregnancy increase thromboembolism risk.
  • Inherited or acquired bleeding disorders can complicate pregnancy, leading to hemorrhage.
  • Both thrombotic and hemorrhagic complications require careful management.

Conclusions:

  • Pregnancy-associated hemostatic changes present a dual risk of thrombosis and hemorrhage.
  • Understanding these disorders is crucial for managing pregnancy complications.
  • This review synthesizes current knowledge on these critical conditions.
