NEW YORK (Reuters Health) May 29 –
Vaginal douching during pregnancy is associated with an increased likelihood of preterm delivery, investigators in Georgia report.
Thus, douching may represent a factor amenable to intervention to lower the risk of untoward pregnancy outcomes. Dr. F. Carol Bruce, of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, and associates identified a stratified random sample of women who delivered preterm and at term and who were members of the Kaiser Permanente Medical Care Program, also in Atlanta.
As reported in the May issue of Epidemiology, subjects were surveyed by telephone regarding douching practices.
