Prevention of women's health through structured preconception counseling - medically managed prevention
Since the introduction of maternity care in 1961 as a standardized, comprehensive and freely available measure of preventive medicine, perinatal mortality has fallen by a factor of 10 and maternal mortality has fallen many times more. However, an increase in perinatal and maternal morbidity as well as cesarean section rates can be observed. The question arises to what extent pregnancy outcomes are not also influenced by the woman's health outside of pregnancy. Against this background, the increase in fertility disorders must also be examined, as well as the two main causes of death in women, cardiovascular diseases and carcinomas.
