Sex infection risk of miscarriage
The fact of infection that can affect the sex content was also evidenced in a study in the UK some time ago.
The researchers found that genital infections that commonly associated with the risk of miscarriage in the second trimester. For that reason, pregnant women are advised to conduct screening and early treatment may be so, since the beginning of pregnancy to reduce the risk of miscarriage.
The study concluded that the woman with Bacterial Vaginosis (BV) three times more risk of experiencing miscarriages in the first week of second-trimester pregnancy. In previous studies, researchers Philip Hay MDBS and his team found that the infection is also associated with the risk of miscarriage five times greater in women who are pregnant 16-24 weeks.
“From the research we know that the infection can increase the risk of miscarriage in pregnancy, and the results of further research report that even this risk can come more quickly, that is, at the age of second trimester pregnancy,” he said.
BV is the most common venereal infection in the female reproductive age. Center for Dissease Control (CDC) estimates the United States as much as 16 percent pregnant women experiencing them, marked with inconsistencies.
In research published in the British Medical Journal, the Hay and his team conducted tests BV in 1200 that pregnant women less than 10 weeks. Some 121 women experienced a miscarriage before they turned age pregnancy 16 weeks.
Studies conducted by the National Institutes of Health found that the UK also handling the vagina other infections, namely, trichomoniasis with drugs such as metronidazole may need to consider the implications for pregnant women.
Trichomoniasis, such as BV, also showed increased risk of premature birth.
In the study, researchers Mark Klebanoff MD record number of pregnant women who experienced premature birth twice more in those treated with drugs instead of the pregnant women who do not consume drugs. The possibility that because of the handling of late. That is, you can only be done from the beginning, the treatment may be successful cure without any side effects.
“We need to design a study to prove that early treatment may be useful better. However, how much better if women not to prevent infection,” he said.
In addition to genital infections, sexually transmitted diseases (STIs) in the UK also continue to increase. Nearly 400,000 new cases of infection terdiagnosis years ago, that means increased approximately 6 percent in 2006. Half of the new cases were found in young adults aged 16-24 years is 12 percent of the population.
UK Health Protection agents recommend that all young adults to test Chlamydia each year as part of the detection (screening) national. Chlamydia is a sexually transmitted infection (STI), which most commonly occur.
Choco Hughes, the staff of the UK Health Protection Agency for Infectious Diseases revealed, young adults most vulnerable affected IMS. “The more they are sexually active, often have more than one partner, and the tendency to have sexual intercourse in action as excessive or fad,” he said.
