Adolescent pregnancy is a complex and frustrating problem that exacts a large social and personal cost. This year approximately 40,000 Canadian teenagers will become pregnant. With proper prevention, this number could be reduced. Pregnant teenagers seem to be at increased risk for some obstetric complications and their children for some neonatal complications. Family physicians who see patients over the course of a lifetime are in a good position to prevent adolescent pregnancy and the associated complications.
青少年怀孕是一个复杂且令人沮丧的问题,会带来巨大的社会和个人代价。今年,大约4万名加拿大青少年将会怀孕。通过适当的预防措施,这个数字可以降低。怀孕的青少年似乎出现某些产科并发症的风险增加,而她们的孩子出现某些新生儿并发症的风险也增加。在患者一生中都为其看病的家庭医生,在预防青少年怀孕及相关并发症方面具有优势。
