What are the effects of anesthesia on the fetus?

Patient's question:

What are the effects of anesthesia after vaginal tumor surgery on the fetus?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, the effects of local anesthetic during pregnancy on the child and the risk of teratogenicity cannot be predicted.
Guidelines:
If you want to continue the pregnancy, it is recommended that you undergo a Down syndrome screening at 15–20 weeks of gestation to check the development of the fetus. If there are any issues, timely symptomatic treatment can be administered.
