Pregnancy has its own complications such as premature rupture of membranes, preterm delivery, premature birth, low-birth-weight children, and infection. This study aimed to determine the prevalence rate of reproductive tract infections among pregnant women.
In this cross-sectional study, 85 randomly selected pregnant women referred to the ambulatory care facilities of Ardal County, Iran, were recruited via a systematic classified random sampling. Questionnaires, clinical examination by midwives, and laboratory assessments were used to gather the required data.
According to the laboratory tests, 71.76% of samples were infectious. Candida albicans (35.76%), Escherichia coli (17.97%), and Streptococcus (13.06%) were the most observed infections, with a higher prevalence rate of reproductive tract infections during the second half of pregnancy compared to the first half.
Since the prevalence rate of vaginal infections was high among pregnant women, and apparent symptoms and clinical examinations alone could not be used for diagnosing these infections, considering vaginal tests during pregnancy in additionto other routine tests could be helpful.
怀孕会带来一些并发症，如胎膜早破、早产、低出生体重儿和感染。本研究旨在确定生殖道感染在孕妇中的流行率。
在这项横断面研究中，我们通过系统分类随机抽样，招募了 85 名随机选择的伊朗阿尔达尔县门诊就诊的孕妇。我们使用问卷、助产士的临床检查和实验室评估来收集所需数据。
根据实验室检测结果，71.76%的样本为感染性样本。最常见的感染包括白色念珠菌（35.76%）、大肠杆菌（17.97%）和链球菌（13.06%），与妊娠前半期相比，妊娠后半期生殖道感染的流行率更高。
由于孕妇阴道感染的流行率较高，仅通过明显的症状和临床检查无法诊断这些感染，因此除了其他常规检查外，在怀孕期间进行阴道检查可能会有所帮助。
