Introduction
Preterm birth is one of the most serious pregnancy complications, occurring when a baby is born before the 37th week of gestation. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), it remains one of the leading causes of neonatal complications and infant mortality. However, modern medicine and proper prenatal care allow most cases to be prevented.
At KindCare Medical Center (Dubai), Dr. Surayo Nazarova, Doctor of Medical Sciences, Associate Professor, and Consultant Obstetrician-Gynecologist of the highest category, successfully manages high-risk pregnancies, helping mothers carry their babies safely to full term.

Main Risk Factors
• Chronic or latent infections of the urinary and reproductive systems
• Multiple pregnancy
• Structural abnormalities of the uterus or cervix
• Cervical insufficiency
• History of preterm birth
• Smoking, alcohol use, chronic stress, and fatigue

Methods of Preventing Preterm Birth

1. Early prenatal care. Regular check-ups and ultrasound examinations help identify even minor abnormalities at the earliest stages of pregnancy.
2. Timely treatment of infections. Prompt therapy prevents inflammation that may trigger uterine contractions or affect cervical tone.
3. Monitoring cervical length and condition. Ultrasound allows the doctor to assess the structure and function of the cervix, detecting early signs of shortening or softening.
4. Medical support measures. In cases of risk, Dr. Nazarova applies modern, evidence-based methods such as cervical cerclage (stitching) or placement of an obstetric pessary. These procedures reduce pressure on the cervix and help prevent premature dilation.
5. Lifestyle correction. Limiting physical strain, ensuring sufficient rest, maintaining a balanced diet, and managing stress all contribute to a healthy pregnancy course.
