Abstract

Background: Recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA) is a serious disorder that may be detrimental to a woman's health. Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is a vaginal microsystem disorder that seems to be connected to a higher risk of abortion, early birth, and puerperal endometritis. 60 percent of all vaginitis types are caused by BV. The purpose of this research is to explore whether vaginal bacterial infection is connected to spontaneous abortion during the first trimester. Methods: This was a cross sectional study on 120 pregnant women on the first trimester diagnosed with spontaneous abortion during the first trimester. Results: No significant difference in clinical data of included subjects in both groups. Significant high prevalence of symptoms in pregnancy loss group. Significant increase in lactobacilli in all grades in abortion group compared with evolving pregnancy group. Significant increase in pathogenic bacteria in abortion group. No significant difference in enteric bacteria. A high significant association between infection and abortion occurrence. All pathogens were significantly associated with pregnancy loss occurrence. Also B. Streptococci were significantly associated with abortion occurrence. Conclusion: To exclude out chronic infections, all RSA patients should be evaluated according on their personal infection risk, which involves a thorough history as well as physical and laboratory examinations. Despite the fact that many RSA patients are healthy, monogamous, and have a minimal risk of STDs, they should be checked. During the first trimester, vaginal infection may be a risk factor for spontaneous abortion.
