Infections and other risk factors linked to premature birth, experts say.
2004 JAN 1 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- Common infections of the genital tract account for up to 50% of preterm births, especially those that occur before 30 weeks, experts told a gathering of reporters and editors sponsored by the March of Dimes.
All women who are thinking of having a baby or who are pregnant should discuss testing and treatment for such common vaginal infections as bacterial vaginosis, chlamydia, and gonorrhea, as well as urinary tract infections, with their physicians to help prevent preterm birth, said Ronald S. Gibbs, MD, professor and E. Stewart Taylor chair in obstetrics and gynecology in the department of obstetrics and gynecology at the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center, Denver, Colorado. He noted these infections often do not produce tell-tale symptoms.
