Introduction The human body of a female is surprisingly strong and endures many obstacles, such as constant menstrual cycles and giving birth.

High prolactin levels cause excessive production of the hormone by cells in the pituitary gland. Tubal disease is when the Fallopian tubes are blocked due to previous infections such as untreated STD’s. Fibroids, diabetes, woman’s age also affects her fertility. Women over the age of 35 have less of a chance to conceive because their egg production…

Preterm labor is defined as regular contractions of the uterus resulting in changes in the cervix that start before 37 weeks of pregnancy. Preterm births are classified according to gestational age at delivery. Though multiple interactive continuous variables are implicated in its etiology, the two strongest risk factors for idiopathic preterm labour are low socio-economic status and previous preterm delivery. Intrauterine infection plays a major role in the genesis of preterm labour. Diagnosis…
