ABSTRACT
Background: Children born by C-section are not exposed to maternal vaginal flora, intestinal flora, or both, which explains, in part, changes in neonatal microbial flora through vaginal delivery. Objective: Determine whether cesarean delivery as a factor contributing to this condition for an increase in cases of constipation, dermatitis and allergies in children less than five years in two hospitals. Material and methods: We studied 150 children living in Ciudad del Carmen, Campeche, clinic whose allegiance is General Hospital Family Medicine # 4 and the same sample size for children whose allegiance the FMU # 11 in Playa del Carmen, Quintana Roo. In the 2012 National Health Second time when more children come to receive vaccines was carried out a questionnaire to the mother of the children, then we searched the records of 150 children in order to validate the results of the questionnaires and reporting bias existed. The Ethics Committee of the institution reviewed and approved the project. Results: We performed a descriptive, observational, retrospective Epi Info was used for statistical analysis, we find the following: babies born by cesarean are 7.8 times more likely to have constipation if born by normal delivery, 5.7 times of suffering dermatitis, and 1.9 times of suffering allergies, ailments of greater consultation in the field of family medicine. Conclusion: The increase in C-sections is related to the preference for practical reasons or supposed safety status manifested mainly women from the middle and upper classes by this procedure. This demand is often associated with a lack of information and poor mothers’ participation in decisions related to their pregnancies, who are unaware that a surgical delivery expose their children to recurrence in conditions such as constipation, dermatitis and allergies as well as other type of pathology own childhood.REFERENCES
