Younger age at cervical surgery may raise preterm birth risk
NCT ID NCT05765188
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether women who had a cervical procedure called LEEP (loop electrosurgical excision procedure) before age 25 face higher risks in future pregnancies, such as preterm labor or early rupture of membranes. Researchers reviewed records of 115 women who had LEEP and later gave birth, comparing those under 25 with those 25 or older at the time of the procedure. The goal is to see if younger age at conization is an independent factor for pregnancy complications.

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP)
What this could lead to
If age at LEEP is found to be an independent risk factor, it could help doctors counsel younger women about future pregnancy risks.
What could go wrong
This is a small, retrospective study (115 women) that can only show associations, not cause and effect. Results may not apply to all populations.
