Medical and social characteristics of women of reproductive age who have undergone urgent gynecological surgery

Abstract

The objective: to study the medical and social characteristics of women in reproductive age who had urgent gynecological surgical operaions.Material and methods. The studied cohort consisted of 135 women in reproductive age who had urgent surgery for ovarian apoplexy (43; 31.9 %), ectopic pregnancy (57; 42.2 %), complicated ovarian tumor (35; 25.9 %). The inclusion criteria were age from 19 to 40 years; intraoperatively confirmed ovarian apoplexy, ectopic pregnancy, complicated ovarian formation; informed consent of the patient to participate in the study. Social and clinical data were registered in the developed questionnaire, which included social and household data, professional and material factors, somatic and obstetric and gynecological anamnesis. Statistical processing of the results was carried out using standard Microsoft Excel 7.0 and “Statistica 6.0” programsResults. It was determined that 26 (19.3 %) women did not visit a gynecologist at all, 18 (69.2 %) of them did not have a sexual activity, 8 (30.8 %) patients did not plan to become pregnant, so they were not considered that it is necessary to visit a doctor. Another feature of the gynecological anamnesis of patients who had urgent surgical operations was a repeated surgical intervention due to a similar gynecological pathology. Thus, 26.9 % of patients were re-hospitalized due to ovarian apoplexy, and 19.2 % had operation again. 17.3 % of women had a repeat ectopic (tubal) pregnancy, for which 13.5 % of patients had repeated surgery. Recurrence of ovarian tumor and urgent surgical intervention occurred in 25.8 % of patients.Conclusions. The lack of full coverage of patients with pathogenetically justified medical and preventive measures after urgent surgical operations leads to the recurrence of similar gynecological pathology and repeated urgent surgical interventions. The obtained results indicate the need for a multifaceted analysis of factors affecting the frequency of acute gynecological diseases and in the scientific justification of medical and diagnostic approaches with the introduction of modern organizational technologies into practice.
