Abstract

The problem of pregnancy termination is multifaceted. According to the current legislation, women who come to a healthcare facility for an induced termination of pregnancy undergo pre-abortion counseling. During the consultation, the specialist has several tasks: to compare the arguments for pregnancy termination or preservation; to help competently assess the current life situation; to consider ways to solve problems; to provide information about federal and regional support measures for pregnant women and families with children; to inform about possible negative consequences of an artificial termination of pregnancy. The authors believe that in addition to psychological assistance to women in the situation of choice, it is of great importance to provide detailed information about the negative reproductive consequences of abortion, including the problem of premature ovarian insufficiency. Due to the high prevalence of premature ovarian insufficiency among female population, it seems necessary to supplement the existing pre-abortion counseling procedure with a section devoted to the problem of physiological and pathological loss of ovarian reserve and the impact of pregnancy termination on this process. To inform a woman about her risk of premature ovarian insufficiency and about her presence of this condition in general would allow a woman to consciously avoid additional negative influences (smoking, alcohol, stress), make an informed decision about her reproductive plans and their timing, and possibly resort to oocyte cryopreservation methods in cases where the risks of premature ovarian insufficiency are extremely high. When premature ovarian insufficiency is already diagnosed, the only way to have a baby is to use assisted reproductive technology, but with the use of donor eggs.
