Patient's question:
Patient: Female, 28 years old. I am currently 36 weeks pregnant and my water broke. What should the doctor do?Doctor's answer:
Based on the information you provided, I can make the following assumptions. If you go to the hospital for a thorough examination and it is confirmed that your water has broken, then this situation is considered preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM). The causes of PPROM include sudden increase in intra-abdominal pressure, sexual intercourse, or falls. It is recommended that you go to the hospital for inpatient observation to prevent the recurrence of intrauterine infection or umbilical cord prolapse. I hope the above explanation is helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
