Article Synopsis
  • The study evaluated the effects of partial term prelabor rupture of membranes (TPROM) on the spontaneous onset of labor, comparing it with complete TPROM in over 389 women at a French maternity hospital.
  • Findings revealed that only 45% of women with partial TPROM went into spontaneous labor within 24 hours, significantly lower than the 64% for those with complete TPROM.
  • The study concluded that having a partial TPROM increases the likelihood of not going into labor within 24 hours, indicating that residual membranes might delay labor onset.

Female genital mutilation/cutting (FGM/C)-also known as Female Genital Cutting or Mutilation-is defined as the partial or total removal of the female external genitalia for non-therapeutic reasons. This White Paper, prepared under the auspices of the International Continence Society (ICS), is intended by the ICS as a statement promoting the abandonment of this practice. The ICS also supports the respectful and evidence-based care or treatment of women and girls already affected by FGM/C, in keeping with the World Health Organization (WHO) Guidelines on the Management of Health Complications from Female Genital Mutilation.
