It's important to realize that when you get pregnant again that infection won't necessarily be gone. At the time of testing, some can be present in one partner and not the other. If examination of your slides or tissue reveals significant infection in the pregnancy you lost, make sure both you and your partner are treated. When you become pregnant again make sure that you are monitored for future infection. Some patients wonder why their doctors don't just prescribe antibiotics prophylactically.
Physicians are concerned about resistant organisms coming from protracted use of antibiotics.
We really feel that clinical monitoring and judgement are extremely important rather than just a chronic snarfing of antibiotics. Copyright 2000-2001 EarlyPath . All rights reserved.
