Inflammation within the genital organs in women is an important problem in gynecology and venereology. Understanding the factors contributing to the inflammatory process and the role of defense mechanisms against their occurrence is important in terms of prevention and treatment. The importance of pre and probiotics was also discussed. It has been proven that the use of probiotics, prebiotics and symbiotics in the diet has a beneficial effect on many body functions. Functional food including an important role in the prevention of inflammation in gynecology. The mission of the medical community, in addition to treatment, should be an emphasis on informing parents, teachers and adolescents and indicating sources of reliable knowledge on topics related to health promotion (including the promotion of a proper diet, physical activity, hygienic lifestyle), which also significantly affects the prevention of inflammation, including sexually transmitted diseases.

Increased Risk

Approximately half of all American adolescents have experienced sexual intercourse by age 17 years.1 The second highest rate of reported gonococcal infections (1,229 cases per 100,000 persons) occurs in 15- to 19-year-old adolescents. This increased risk in the adolescent population has been associated with the greater number of young people having sexual intercourse, the infrequent use of barrier contraceptive methods, the obstacles to prompt medical care that teenagers face, with consequent delay in diagnosis and further spread of the disease, and the large number of asymptomatic carriers.2 The pediatrician has an important responsibility for providing sexuality-related care to children and adolescents.2-4

The role of sexual transmission of microorganisms in bacterial vaginosis (BV) is controversial. If sexual intercourse were a risk factor for BV, then we would expect that women with BV would also be coinfected with other sexually transmitted diseases (STD). We investigated the prevalence of STD among pregnant women of low socio-economic status with bacterial vaginosis in Indonesia. Among these women, 23.3% had at least one STD (chlamydia, gonorrhoea, syphilis or trichomoniasis). Chlamydial infection was the most prevalent (19.5%), followed by trichomoniasis (3.8%), gonorrhoea (3.2%) and syphilis (0.4%). Compared to the rates of STD observed in a previous study of all pregnant women (with or without BV) in Indonesia, pregnant women with BV have more than a 2-fold increase in chlamydia (19.5% vs 8.2%) and a 6-fold increase in gonorrhoea (3.2% vs 0.5%). Because detection of BV by Gram stain is easy to perform and economical, detection of BV has potential as a prescreening marker for chlamydia and gonorrhoea among asymptomatic pregnant women of low socio-economic status in Indonesia. Further work is needed to evaluate the usefulness of BV as a prescreening marker for chlamydia and gonorrhoea.
