Vaginal Infection in Pregnant Women

A descriptive study was conducted on the behaviour of vaginal infection in pregnant women in the period 2017 - 2018. The universe was represented by pregnant women diagnosed with vaginal sepsis in any trimester of pregnancy, from which a sample of patients was taken and to whom a questionnaire was applied, taking into account variables such as age, schooling, gestational age at diagnosis, causal agent, mode of hygiene, condom use and occurrence of prenatal and postnatal complications. We conclude that vaginal infection in pregnancy is very frequent in young women; in addition to other significant results associated with this health problem.
