What are the symptoms of GBS infection in pregnant women?

1. Most pregnant women infected with GBS have no obvious symptoms or no symptoms. However, regardless of whether pregnant women have symptoms or not, they may cause GBS infection in newborns. Pregnant women infected with GBS will transmit it to their newborns during delivery. Too early GBS screening cannot guarantee that there will be no reinfection in late pregnancy. It is difficult to detect GBS infection in pregnant women, and it is impossible to determine whether GBS testing should be performed based on the symptoms of the pregnant women. Therefore, GBS screening for all pregnant women at 35 to 37 weeks of pregnancy can more effectively ensure the safety of newborns at birth.

2. Countries and regions such as the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Hong Kong, China, Italy, the Netherlands, and France recommend that all pregnant women be screened for GBS at 35 to 37 weeks of pregnancy, and those with positive results should receive protective treatment.

Wash and change underwear frequently, scald with hot water or expose to sunlight to prevent repeated infection; physiologically, the female vagina also has various secretions, so pay attention to the cleanliness of the vulva; it is best to take a shower and wash with warm water.
