Genital Warts

Genital warts often occur in clusters and can be very tiny or can spread into large masses in the genital or penis area. In women, they occur on the outside and inside of the vagina, on the opening (cervix) to the womb (uterus), or around the anus. They are approximately as prevalent in men, but the symptoms may be less obvious. When present, they appear on the tip of the penis. They also present on the shaft of the penis, on the scrotum or around the anus. Rarely do genital warts also can develop in the mouth or throat of a person who has had oral sex with an infected person. Genital warts may disappear without treatment, but sometimes eventually develop a fleshy, small raised growth. There is no way to predict whether they will grow or disappear. Genital warts (or Condyloma, Condylomata acuminata, or venereal warts) are a highly contagious sexually transmitted infection caused by some sub-types the human papillomavirus (HPV). HPV spreads via direct skin-to-skin contact during oral, genital or anal sex with an infected partner.

Pregnancy Complications

Overweight and obesity raise the risk of pregnancy complications for both mother and baby. Pregnant women who are overweight or obese may have an increased risk for: Gestational diabetes high blood sugar during pregnancy; Pre-eclampsia, which is high blood pressure during pregnancy that can cause severe problems for both mother and baby if left untreated; and Cesarean delivery or complications with cesarean delivery.
Babies of overweight or obese mothers have an increased risk of neural tube defects of the brain and spinal cord, stillbirth, prematurity and being large for gestational age.
Pregnant women who are overweight are more likely to develop insulin resistance, high blood sugar and high blood pressure. Insulin resistance is when cells do not respond properly to the hormone insulin, which carries blood sugar to cells for energy. Insulin resistance may result in high levels of blood sugar. Being overweight also increases risks associated with surgery and anesthesia and severe obesity increases operative time and blood loss.
Some studies have shown that gaining excess weight during pregnancy, even without becoming obese, may increase risks. It is important to consult with an obstetrician or other health care provider about how much weight to gain during pregnancy.
Women who are overweight or obese and who would like to become pregnant should speak with a health care provider about losing weight before becoming pregnant. Pre-pregnancy weight loss significantly reduces pregnancy complications. Pregnant women who are overweight or obese should speak with a health care provider about limiting gestational weight gain and being physically active during pregnancy.
Losing excess weight after delivery may help women reduce their health risks. If a woman developed gestational diabetes, losing weight will lower her risk of developing diabetes later in life.
