Role of vulvovaginal infection in women with short cervix: An observational clinical trial
Adequately treated vulvovaginal infections do not appear to exacerbate the risk of PTB in women with SC, highlighting the importance of routine infection screening and timely treatment to ensure effective mitigation of the potential impact of coexisting infections. Prospective studies are required to confirm our findings and explore the underlying mechanisms.
