Multicenter Study
Is the increased risk of preterm birth following excision for cervical intraepithelial neoplasia restricted to the first birth post treatment?
To explore whether the increased risk of preterm birth following treatment for cervical disease is limited to the first birth following colposcopy. ⋯ The increased risk of preterm birth following treatment for cervical disease is not restricted to the first birth post colposcopy; it remains for second and subsequent births. These results suggest that once a woman has a deep treatment she remains at higher risk of a preterm birth throughout her reproductive life.
