Gonorrhea during pregnancy

Overview of gonorrhea during pregnancy It is not uncommon for gonorrhea infection in pregnant women, accounting for 1% to 8%. Gonorrhea infections at any stage of pregnancy have an impact on the prognosis of pregnancy. Gonococcal cervicitis in early pregnancy can cause infectious abortions and infections after induced abortion. In the third trimester, prone to gonococcal cervicitis can increase the fragility of the fetal membrane and prone to premature rupture. Premature rupture of membranes can cause amniotic infection syndromes in pregnant women, and prolonged labor can occur during delivery. After delivery, the maternal resistance is low. If there is damage, gonorrhea spreads easily, causing endometritis and salpingitis, and severe cases can cause disseminated gonorrhea. The threat to the fetus is preterm birth and intrauterine infection, with a prevalence of about 17%. Fetal infections easily cause fetal growth restriction, fetal distress, and even lead to stillbirth and stillbirth.
