can escherichia coli live in vagina and infect baby?

Question

What happens if a baby comes out of an std-infected vagina during birth?

Answer 1

Not likely.: While anything is possible in medicine, even this, it is unlikely. The vagina has an acidic environment the kills most bacteria so the uterus does not get infected. Having said this, urinary tract infections from e.Coli can result from sexual activity, and moreover, venereal diseases, like chlamydia certainly can get to the womb and cause pelvic iflammatory disease, and infect the baby.

Answer 2

Many reasons: Your pelvis has many organs in it;s vicinity. Uterus, tubes, ovaries, bowel, bladder and spine. Pathology in any of these can cause pain. Pelvic varicosities leading to pelvic congestion can cause pain too.

Answer 3

Pelvic pain: Pelvic pain in a young woman is commonly due to infection, cyst, endometriosis, bladder or bowel issues, or early pregnancy problems like ectopic.

Answer 4

Referred & spasm: Pelvic pain originates by referral or de novo. Referred pain derives from pelvic girdle joints, SIJ & symphysis pubis. Local tissues generate pain via bleeding such as Mittleschmerz, inflammation of infection, or smooth muscle spasm, as occurs in IBS; pain of which, in my experience, is sometimes misinterpreted as a factitious disorder called "endometriosis"; which lacks etiologic proof.

Answer 5

Leave them alone: The best thing to do is to leave them alone. Try to get rid of the offending agent, heat, over bundling; consider an office visit if baby's skin does not improve. It may be eczema or another common childhood rash.

Answer 6

Repeat if desired: A general "rule of thumb" for oral meds is any vomiting within 15 minutes loses all the med & if needed it can be repeated. Vomiting after 30 minutes not so much.I try to let a kids stomach settle for an hour or so before repeating any med. I'm not a particular fan of this vaccine & don't consider it one of the must haves.

Answer 7

Not necessary!: Vomiting the rotavirus vaccine is rare but not unusual. You are still safe as boosters will follow over the next 2-4 months. Contact your pediatrician if you have other concerns. Your infant is still safe and no harm will follow.

Answer 8

Supportive ring: Rectocele occurs when pelvic floor muscle lose support; rectum, usually uterus, maybe bladder sag. Pessary is a ring inserted into vagina to help keep things up and perky (kind of like a vaginal truss). This helps keep the rectum straight (as name implies), and lets it do its job of evacuating stool out, not bulge into vaginal vault.

Answer 9

Vaginal wall support: A pessary is a small, rubber device which is inserted into the vagina for added support. They come in many shapes and sizes, for different types of support problems such as rectocele and pelvic organ prolapse.

Answer 10

Device in vagina: To hold things up. There are a variety of shapes and sizes. Google to see some.

Answer 11

Support device: Pessary is a device that comes in a variety of sizes and shapes and is inserted into the vagina to provide support to the pelvic organs. A pessary can be an effective nonsurgical method of treatment for prolapse.

Answer 12

Probably!: Most babies pause breathing for 15 to 20 seconds in the first few months of life. If the breathing resumes spontaneously and there is no change in color it s usually normal. Make sure you take him to his doctor for a ceck up.

Answer 13

Mgt: Brief apneas and periodic breathing can occur at night. I would suggest taking a video to your PCP and discussing an apnea test and other work up. Many infants though have mild brief apneas which require no treatment. Watch for any signs of distress, color changes of the lips eg.

Answer 14

Apnea Monitor?: Not enough information.What do you mean by forget to breathe at night. We need to know how old is baby.Term Birth or Premie.How much does the baby weigh.Any other children in family who had similar problem. I suggest you take the baby to Pediatrician with your concen and if you can take a video,that will help. If the Apnea is significant and there are other risk factors.Apnea Monitor may be neede
