A simple program for prevention of premature birth, and some regrettable contradictions
Prematurity and late abortions are still major problems of modern obstetrics. An important cause is ascending genital infection, which can often be prevented by very early diagnosis of vaginal milieu disturbances by the patients themselves. In cases of recurrent late abortions or early preterm births, an operative total cercix occlusion is probably the most effective method currently available.
ascending infection / bacterial vaginosis / prematurity prevention / vaginal pH-measurement / early total cervix occlusion
