Teenage Pregnancy

Any pregnancy in a human female under the age of 20 years at the time the pregnancy is completed is termed Teenage Pregnancy in India. It is a social problem distributed worldwide with serious implications for maternal and child health, especially in the context of developing countries. In India, teenage pregnancy is an important public health problem.

There can be various causes and risks of Teenage Pregnancy. The main Teenage Pregnancy Causes are:

Teenage pregnancies put mothers at high risk of many health-related complications of teenage pregnancy and the newborns to poor birth outcomes. Pregnant teens need to be assessed for smoking, alcohol use, and drug use, and they are offered support to quit for a better outcome of the pregnancy. Teen mothers are more likely to have unhealthy habits that place the infant at greater risk for inadequate growth, infection, or chemical dependence. The younger a mother is below 20 years of age the greater is the risk of her infant dying during the first year of life. Pregnant teens need to have early and adequate prenatal care.

The Complications of Teenage Pregnancy may occur in both the mother and the child if the teenage pregnancy age is less. Teenage mothers are also at a greater risk of developing medical complications such as preeclampsia and gestational diabetes. Teenage mothers' children are also at risk of infections, respiratory distress, and developmental delays.

A couple of years back when my uncle Dr D K Tandon was diagnosed with Dementia, we were looking for a decent place where he can be taken care of. We chanced upon Vardaan Senior Citizen centre. I spoke to Dr Rekha Khandelwal and found her to be quite empathetic & considerate in her approach. My uncle is staying in Vardaan for last couple of years and we are grateful to Dr Rekha and her staff for taking care of my uncle.

Shantanu Tandon

My mother, Manorama Devi, was a patient of Parkinson’s disease and paralysis. We were managing her at home but due to complications of the illness and lack of trained caregivers I had to shift her to Vardaan Senior Citizens Home. Vardaan is truly home away from home and the entire staff under the able guidance of both Dr Rekha Khandelwal and Dr Rajiv Khandelwal works tirelessly to make the senior citizens feel at home.
