Consequences Of Drug Abuse

Drug abuse is no longer found in the world of men only but it has also penetrated in the world of women already. Nowadays it is found that a large number of women (this number is increasing steadily of course) are getting addicted to drugs and are becoming easy preys of drug abuse by mistake. Well, by now, lots of researches have advocated this rising trend but the bulk of women remain unconscious of this.

What do the researches reveal? According to their priceless observations, the majority of these women drug users, if not more, represent fragile household conditions and are the victims of exploitation of various sorts. On the other hand, it has also been found that the greatest numbers of them are sufferers of an assortment of health or mental problems and even diseases that are transmitted by sexual means. Now let's turn on the consequences of this drug abuse. The researchers have claimed that that a drug addict happens to be more at risk always for being infected with HIV.

Why does this happen? This does happen only to a simple reason. It is to be noted that the largest part of drugs are injected in the vein by means of soiled or used needles that may be the perfect carriers of a lot of diseases. Well, the same problem gets more knotty if the pertinent woman happens to be pregnant. The same process not only endangers the live of the woman but also the unborn baby within her.

Are you a woman? If you are, you have got to know these more than others. Bear in mind this simple ratiocination always. Whenever a woman gets pregnant and starts off the utilization of drugs, her baby faces a greater number of problems than the mother. This simple practice can be instrumental in making the baby infected with HIV or AIDS. On the other hand he/she can have smaller head than under normal conditions, low weight at birth along with lots of behavior problems. The worst is that he/she can even die at birth!

There are also other innumerable medical problems, apart from this, which the innocent or ingenuous child may face. What are these problems? They can be many like the problems ensuing from the utter negligence, malnutrition even physical abuse from the drug addicted mother.

Try to gauge the perilous consequences of drug abuse from this list for a better understanding. The very first step is that the mother can be malnourished, along with unnatural high blood pressure and very fast heart beats. She may also be found with a diminished weight that is enough to make her disconsolate and lose the self-esteem.

Never remain in this tomfool's world that the precarious consequences of drug abuse befall only on the mother. The baby also becomes hapless prey of this reckless behavior. He/she is bound to suffer from the aftermath of HIV or AIDS provided the mother possesses that. He/she can also be the ill-fated victim of learning disabilities, all types of infections. Don't you consider these as serious?
