Preventing spontaneous preterm delivery using probiotics

Caption

A new study suggests that probiotics supplementation during early pregnancy may help reduce the risk of recurrent spontaneous preterm delivery (sPTD). In a multicenter clinical trial, pregnant women who consumed probiotics containing Clostridium butyricum showed lower recurrence rates of sPTD compared with national averages. These findings highlight the potential of probiotic therapy as a simple strategy to support healthier pregnancy outcomes.
