There was some discussion at one point that semen may contain "something" that causes lysis of the membrane. Don't know if this has ever been formally looked at. Anybody have any info in this regard. Lynn

If intercourse does not hasten onset of labor in the term pregnancy, is it responsible for causing preterm labor? We seem to think so, and do see women in triage who admit to having sex before a flurry of preterm contractions, then we tell them to not have sex until after delivery.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
