How many days less than the gestation period from fertilization to delivery are considered preterm infants?

Patient's question:

Testing and careful examination of results: From fertilization to the birth of premature infants, how many days are there?

Doctor's answer:

This time starts from the day of the last menstrual period. If the baby is born before completing 40 weeks, it is considered a preterm infant. However, generally speaking, there is no significant difference between babies born after 36 weeks and those born at full term. The patient is directly facing childbirth risks, and we should promptly implement symptomatic treatment principles. Avoid avoiding medical visits. If the labor is prolonged and the condition does not improve with treatment, a new treatment plan should be adopted in a timely manner.
