750 gm baby born at 25 weeks gets new lease of life at Cloudnine Hospital Bengaluru
Advertisement
Bengaluru: In a remarkable medical achievement, doctors at Cloudnine Group of Hospitals in Bengaluru successfully saved the life of a premature baby girl born at just 25 weeks, weighing a mere 750 grams.
At 25 weeks into the pregnancy, doctors diagnosed the mother with an incompetent cervix and a severe urinary tract infection (UTI).
While an incompetent cervix can shorten and weaken the cervix, or open it too soon during pregnancy, UTIs cause inflammatory reactions leading to uterine contractions and an increased risk of preterm labour.
