GHAZNI CITY (SW) – Several obstetricians in Ghazni report that heavy work and the indiscriminate use of medications have led to an increase in abnormal bleeding among pregnant women.
Mohammad Atef Noori, a doctor in Ghazni, told Salam Watandar that the incidence of abnormal bleeding among pregnant women in the province has risen.
He adds: “Most of the women who visit clinics or obstetricians have experienced abnormal bleeding, and the number of such cases is unfortunately on the rise due to heavy workloads they undertake. This is why abnormal bleeding occurs more frequently among these mothers.”
Rahela, a mother visiting a private clinic in Ghazni for treatment, said that heavy labor has caused her to experience abnormal bleeding.
“A few days ago, I had a lot of work at home and lifted heavy weights, which led to this problem. I also had bleeding during my first pregnancy. When I visited the doctor, she advised me not to use any medications from the market. I am alone in household chores; it’s not possible to avoid them. I am being cautious and have taken some medicine,” she explained.
Pregnant women in Ghazni express concern over abnormal bleeding during pregnancy, saying that the issue has made them feel weak and worry about the health of their unborn child.
“I had this problem during the birth of my first child, but it was less severe. It has returned in the last two weeks, and I feel weaker now. There isn’t much pain, but I am distressed. My request is to be given proper medication and guidance. I am somewhat anxious,” Zainab, a pregnant woman told Salam Watandar.
Nasrin, another pregnant woman and a resident of Ghazni, also shared her experience: “I have been experiencing irregular bleeding for a few days; I am worried that it might lead to further complications. This problem has arisen during my pregnancy, and I have not visited the doctor yet. I just came to the doctor today and am waiting for my turn.”
Salima, a mother worried about her health, recently sought help at a private clinic in Ghazni due to complications during her pregnancy. She said: “I am very worried about any potential issues for my baby. I’m in my sixth month of pregnancy; I came here today, but I can’t get an appointment. We’ll see what happens; God is merciful,” she expressed.
It is important to note that a lack of awareness among mothers regarding pregnancy, poverty, heavy workloads, and inadequate nutrition are significant challenges that leave women vulnerable during this critical time. These factors can often lead to various health complications for expectant mothers.
