What happens during the disease - premature rupture of membranes
Premature rupture of membranes (prom) occurs when the amniotic sac surrounding the fetus in the uterus ruptures before labor begins. this can be caused by a weakening of the amniotic sac due to an underlying medical condition, such as an infection, or it can occur spontaneously. when prom occurs, the fetus is exposed to an increased risk of infection, and labor is usually induced to minimize this risk.
