Aim: The aim of this study is to investigate and examine the possibility that cesarean section, which is becoming increasingly common today, may cause risky conditions such as allergies not only for the mother but also for the baby in the future.
Material and Method: The questionnaire was applied to the mothers who applied to the Family Medicine outpatient clinic between July and November 2020, who accepted to participate in the study and received written consent.
Results: Of the 90 participants included in the study, 45 (50%) had cesarean section and 45 (50%) had a normal birth. No variation was found according to the type of delivery in those whose children were diagnosed with allergies. Likewise, there was no statistical relationship between the presence of allergies and the variables we looked at. Among the other variables examined, there was only a significant difference in smoking during pregnancy according to the mode of delivery (p = 0.041).
Conclusion: Although it is prohibited off-label cesarean delivery, which can be left to the patient due to commercial concerns, is a delivery method to be chosen by a doctor only in the presence of an indication. Cesarean section may have complications for the mother and the baby, and the recommended method is to deliver the baby with normal delivery through the vaginal canal. Pregnant women should be informed that normal birth is the healthiest delivery method with correct information.

Sezaryen ile Doğan Bebeklerde Alerji Görülme Sıklığının Değerlendirilmesi
Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı günümüzde gittikçe yaygınlaşan sezaryen ile doğumun sadece anneye değil ileri de bebek için de alerji gibi riskli durumlar ortaya çıkarabileceği ihtimalinin araştırılarak irdelenmesidir.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Araştırmaya Temmuz – Kasım 2020 tarihleri arasında Aile Hekimliği polikliniğine başvuran, 2 yaş altı tek çocuğu olan annelerden çalışmaya katılmayı kabul edip, yazılı onam alınanlara anket uygulanmıştır.
Bulgular: Çalışmaya dahil edilen 90 katılımcıdan 45 (%50) tanesi sezaryen, 45 (%50) tanesi normal doğum yapmıştı. Çocuğu alerji tanısı alanlarda doğum şekline göre bir değişkenlik saptanmadı. Aynı şekilde alerji varlığı ile baktığımız değişkenler arasında istatistiksel bir ilişki saptanmadı. Bakılan diğer değişkenlerden sadece gebelikte sigara kullanımında doğum şekline göre anlamlı bir farklılık vardı (p=0.041).
Sonuç: Günümüzde endikasyon dışı yasak olmasına rağmen ticari kaygılarla hastanın kendine bırakılabilen sezaryen doğum, sadece endikasyon varlığında doktor tarafından seçilecek bir doğum yöntemidir. Sezaryen doğumunun anne ve bebek için komplikasyonları olabilmekte olup, önerilen yöntem, bebeğin vajinal kanaldan geçerek normal doğumla doğurtulmasıdır. Gebeler doğru bilgilendirmelerle normal doğumun en sağlıklı doğum yöntemi olduğu anlatılmalıdır.
