Preterm birth (preterm labor) refers to a delivery that occurs before the 37th week of pregnancy, and it can have significant consequences for reproductive health. Every year, millions of women and newborns around the world suffer from health problems related to preterm birth.

The prevention of preterm birth and the management of its complications play a crucial role in improving both maternal and fetal health. Modern medicine utilizes a variety of advanced technologies and methodologies to reduce the risk of preterm birth during pregnancy. Today, approaches such as hormonal therapy, stress management, dietary control, and increasing physical activity are considered effective in lowering the risk of preterm labor. However, the causes of preterm birth are complex and involve various factors, indicating a need for new scientific approaches and medical technologies. This research explores the causes of preterm birth, its obstetric complications, and modern strategies for preventing and managing these challenges.
