There are predictable diseases that are repeated in family history from generation to generation. They can be taken under control if you find out in advance what it is worth worrying about the maternal line.
Home trouble – we do not know how to ask questions, more precisely, the right questions. And not just to acquaintances, but to your relatives and closest relatives.
Meanwhile, some features of our development by almost 90% repeat maternal. It is important at the right time to ask the parents, especially the mother, what can be done in order to prevent the course of some diseases. For example, gynecological or associated with the cardiovascular system. Here are a few questions that you should ask your mother right now.
“Our family had cardiovascular diseases?”
“This is a difficult topic for conversation. But if there were cases of unexpected death in the family, this information is directly related to your health, ”comments Nikol Kharkin, a cardiologist at New York University. – You must learn about any case of heart disease or early death – for women this is an age under 65 years, for men – 55.
Genetics is by no means fate or sentence. It is important to know about all significant facts of family medical history in order to minimize any risk factor using a specially selected diet and lifestyle. “.
“Mom, when you started menstruation and the menopause came?”
This information is confirmed by medical research: in everything related to the monthly cycle, you repeat your mother. If her period began at an early age, you will begin at about the same time. The earlier beginning of menopause will also be reflected almost as in the mirror.
Felis Gersh, Director of the Center for Integrative Medicine in Irvin, also strongly recommends that your mother or her relatives have cases of such a common disease as polycystic. According to recent studies, he increases the chance that the next generation in the family can experience problems with this disease, and with it – with childbearing, metabolism, general metabolism, and even a change in mood.
“Do you have problems with pregnancy and childbirth?”
It is important to find out before you yourself begin to plan the birth of a child. Many issues related to pregnancy, as well as how childbirth and feeding
are also due to genetics.
“You should know about all cases of family history that classify you to the risk group. These include: miscarriage, premature birth, cervical failure. If you know about this in advance, you can determine special drugs together with the doctor that will warn all possible complications and develop an effective strategy taking into account the family health history, ”Daniel Rosham, gynecologist from the perinatal center in New York, is convinced.
