Patient's question:
During the check-up, the doctor said I have signs of preterm labor. How can I improve the prognosis for premature babies? Is it very serious?Doctor's answer:
It is unpredictable whether premature infants will leave behind sequelae, but as long as they have a heartbeat, efforts should be made to rescue them. Born at 32 weeks, weighing 1650 grams, the child's weight is significantly lower than that of a normal full-term birth, and their physical resistance is low, making them prone to lung infections. They should be treated in the hospital. Modern medical technology has greatly improved the treatment of premature infants, and many of them can recover to the same extent as normal full-term births.
