XVI: Certain conditions originating in the perinatal period
Certain conditions originating in the perinatal period are medical problems that develop between the 20th week of gestation (pregnancy) and the 28th day after birth. These conditions can be due to a variety of reasons including infections acquired in utero, birth injuries or complications, as well as genetic or metabolic disorders. These conditions can manifest in various ways such as breathing difficulty, yawning movement, difficulty in feeding, changes in skin color, or unusual lethargy in the newborn. The progression of these conditions can vary widely as some may improve over time with proper medical care while others can have long-term effects or pose significant health risks. Different body systems can be impacted based on the specific condition, this could include the respiratory system, digestive system, nervous system, or the circulatory system. The diagnosis and management often require professional medical intervention. These conditions can significantly impact both the newborn's and the family's health and wellbeing.
