Abstract
Objective of the Review: To study the impact of endometriosis on the course and outcomes of pregnancy; to propose methods for prevention of obstetrics complications in pregnant women with endometriosis. Key Points. Pregnant women with endometriosis are at a high risk of miscarriage, preterm delivery, preeclampsia, placental disorders, intranatal and postnatal bleeding, still birth, high rates of caesarean section; and at a risk of acute complications from endometriosis, e.g., spontaneous hemoperitoneum. Endometriosis is associated with progesterone resistivity, impaired endometrium receptivity; therefore, prescription of progesterone to pregnant women with endometriosis can be a key to prevention of not only miscarriages and preterm delivery, but also of preeclampsia and placental disorders. Folic acid has favourable effect for placenta formation. Low doses (75–150 mg/day) of acetylsalicylic acid prevent placentation disorders. Conclusion. In order to prevent impaired implantation, placentation, cytotrophoblastic invasion, and uteroplacental perfusion with a high risk of obstetric complications, pregnant women with endometriosis should take progesterone, folic and acetylsalicylic acids. Keywords: endometriosis, obstetric complications, pregnancy follow-up
