Description
Constantin-Cristian Vaduva and six co-authors published a 2024 review on probiotics for preventing two pregnancy complications that lead to early birth. Premature rupture of membranes and cervical incompetence both raise the risk of preterm birth, a top cause of newborn illness and death. A disturbed vaginal microbe balance is tied to both problems.
The reviewers searched the literature from 2005 to 2024 and found over eighteen hundred records. Seven studies fit their focus on restoring healthy vaginal flora and cutting harmful bacteria. The evidence suggests probiotics, above all Lactobacillus strains, may help restore balance and calm immune responses. That could lower the odds of membrane rupture and cervical failure. The authors judge the approach promising but in need of stronger trials.
