Most of the problems of the female reproductive system in fertile age are a direct consequence of those pathologies that have arisen in puberty age, in the period of the establishment of its functions. Therefore, the formation of the normal physical and sexual development of adolescent girls depends on the formation of reproductive capacity, the improvement of the demographic situation and the health of future generations. The aim of the study — detection of the relationship between the features of sexual development in healthy and girls with primary dysmenorrhea of puberty age. The results of researches of 306 girls of puberty age of different somatotypes are analyzed, defined by the Hit-Carter method. Statistical processing of the results obtained was carried out in a licensed package “Statistica 6.1”. The study group included 76 girls with primary dysmenorrhea, and the control group consisted of 230 healthy girls (data were taken from the database of the SRC National Pirogov Memorial Medical University, Vinnytsya). We investigated the peculiarities of the development of the reproductive system of girls of pubertal age with primary dysmenorrhea of different somatotypes. The results of our research show that there is a connection between the age-depending dynamics of sexual development: the thelarche, axillary hair growth, the formation of menstrual function in girls of pubertal age who suffer from primary dysmenorrhea in comparison with healthy girls. The results of our study should be taken for the diagnosing of primary dysmenorrhea of girls of pubertal age in order to reduce clinical manifestations and further development of complications in reproductive age.

Background. Patients with comorbid pathology occupy leading positions in the practice of a doctor of any specialty especially in patients with HIV. Reproductive system is known to be the gateway for viruses. This fact could explain the severity of changes developing in the female reproductive system infected with HIV, in particular in the endometrium. The purpose of this study was to assess morphological changes in the endometrium caused by the combined effects of HIV infection and chronic alcoholism. Materials and methods: The study included sectional material taken from 60 women of reproductive age (20-40 years). They were all divided into two groups. The first group (30 people) consisted of HIV-positive individuals who, according to a survey of relatives and according to an autopsy (the main symptom is the presence of alcoholic cirrhosis of the liver), alcohol abuse was confirmed. The following parameters were determined: the average diameter of the endometrial glands (proliferative type), the minimum diameter of the endometrial glands (proliferative type), the maximum diameter of the endometrial glands (proliferative type), wall thickness (proliferative type), the relative volume of the epithelium (proliferative type), the average diameter of the glands (secretory type), the minimum diameter of the glands (secretory type), the maximum diameter of the glands (secretory type), the relative volume of the epithelium (secretory type), the thickness of the epithelium. Results. the average diameter of the endometrial glands (proliferative type) decreased from 51.71 ± 2.90 x 10-6 m in the comparison group to 39.42 ± 2.35 x 10-6 m in the HIV-infected group, which was 23.77%. The minimum diameter of the endometrial glands (proliferative type) reduced from 32.47 ± 1.83 x10-6 m to 27.13 ± 1.73x10-6 m (16.45%), the maximum diameter from 72.14 ± 2.21 x10-6 m to 63.84 ± 3.29 x10-6 m (11.5%). the relative volume of the epithelium (proliferative type) decreased by 5.41% (from 54.43 ± 1.79% in the study group to 49.02 ± 2.65% in the control group). The thickness of the uterine wall was also significantly reduced from 15.18 ± 1.60 x10-6 m to 14.52 ± 1.19 x10-6 m, which was 4.35%. The maximum volume of glands (secretory type) changed from 127.98 ± 2.10 x10-6 m to 97.18 ± 3.12 x10-6 m (24%). Changes by 3.6% were also observed when examining the wall thickness (from 13.02 ± 1.36 x10-6 m to 12.55 ± 1.68 x10-6 m). Conclusion. The study evaluated features of endometrial restructuring in alcohol-abusing HIV-infected women.

The aim of the study – improvement of pregnancy outcomes in women with pelvic presentation on the background of uterine myoma by developing optimal obstetric delivery tactics. Materials and Methods. In order to achieve the stated goal, a prospective analysis of cases of first- and second-time delivering patients with full-term one fetus pregnancy in pelvic presentation (incomplete and complete) amid the uterine myoma – the main group (MG) – (n = 30) was conducted. Into the control group (CG) – (n = 30) were included the first- and second-time bearing women without fetal myoma with full-time pregnancy and the pelvic presentation. Statistical processing of the results was performed using the Microsoft Office Excel 2017 software. Results and Discussion. The analysis of the presented data shows that among pregnant women with pelvic prevalence of fetuses on the background of uterine fibroids, more frequent cases are registered: clinical manifestations of the threat of interruption of pregnancy MG – 26 (86.7 %), CG – 9 (30 %) and pre-eclampsia MG – 8 (26.7 %), CG – 3 (10 %) (p < 0.05). Raising the risk of complications of pregnancy and the expected birth of the uterine myoma requires pre-planning for the most part the operational method of delivery of MG – 19 (63.3 %). Exception, in the absence of other contraindications, there may be women with single myomatous nodes in sizes up to 5 cm – 11 (36.7 %). Only the extension of the cesarean section requires only pregnant women with uterine myoma 7 (36.8 %), and most of these interventions occur during precarious surgical delivery 4 (20 %). Conclusion. Consequently, the presented data indicate the expediency and validity of taking into account the presence of uterine myoma at BP in order to develop an optimal obstetric tactic for the delivery of such patients in order to improve their pregnancy outcomes.

Aim: to study the clinical and diagnostic manifestations of hyperandrogenism (HA) in women with subclinical thyrotoxicosis.Materials and methods. Sixty three hyperthyroid women with clinical manifestations of HA were examined. Of these, 17 patients (27.0 %) were diagnosed with hyperthyroidism and HA. The control group included 20 practically healthy women of the similar age (20–44 years old) with no signs of HA or other hormonal disorders. All women under observation (patients with thyrotoxicosis and HA syndrome and women from the control group) underwent a thorough clinical examination and were assessed for their hormonal status using biochemical assays. The levels of follicle-stimulating (FSH), luteinizing (LH), thyroid-stimulating (TSH) hormones, prolactin, estradiol (E2), estrone, and total testosterone (Ttotal) were measured as well as the levels of dehydroepiandrosterone- sulfate (DHEA-S), 17-hydroxyprogesterone (17-OHP), free triiodothyronine (T3free), free thyroxin (T4free), sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG), androstenedione, and antimullerian hormone.Results. Patients with hyperthyroidism and HA had significantly (р < 0.05) higher (than normal) levels of FSH, LH, LH/FSH, estrone, 17-OHP, Ttotal, androstenedione, DHEA-S, T3free , and T4free, as well as lower levels (р < 0,05) of TSH (0,390 ± 0,003 mU/ml), E2 (49.86 ± 4.00 pg/ml), and SHBG (49.65 ± 1.20 nmol/L). A course of pathogenetic therapy that included anti-hyperthyroidism treatment (tyrosol 5–10 mg/day for 3 months) followed by anti-HA treatment (combined oral contraceptives) resulted in significant (р < 0,05) reduction in LH, the LH/FSH ratio, estrone, 17-OHP, T3free, T4free, androstenedione (2.64 ± 0.008 ng/ml), DHEA-S (2.15 ± 0.14 pg/ml), Ttotal (1.32 ± 0.10 ng/ml) and in significant (р < 0,05) increase in E2 (69.46 ± 2.58 pg/ml), SHBG (59.59 ± 2.8 nmol/L), and TSH (1,79 ± 0,16 mU/ml).Conclusion. Combined pathogenetic therapy reduces the clinical manifestations of hyperthyroidism and HA syndrome, and restores the menstrual and reproductive functions of women.

The formation of the puberty period is an important background for the female reproductive system in the future and the realization of the childbirth. The objective: to assess medical aspects in women with cervical insufficiency (CI) and infertility associated with anovulation in history. Materials and methods. 60 pregnant women with CI and anovulatory infertility in anamnesis formed the basic group. In these persons the pregnancy occurred after the use of additional reproductive technologies. The control group formed 30 pregnant women without CI and infertility and with physiological pregnancy. Results. In 33.33% individuals in the basic group menarche started in 16 years old and more. While in the control group in all women menarche started in 11–15 years old (χ2=11.00; p<0.001). In the reproductive age all controls (100.00%) had regular menstrual cycle that was in 3.33 times more than the women in the basic group (30.00%; χ2=36.61; p<0.001), 70.00% persons in the basic group had irregular menstruations. The menstruations were always irregular from menarche in 16.64% persons with CI vs none cases among healthy women (χ2=4.06; p=0.04). Endometriosis was diagnosed in 48.33% individuals with CI and infertility, polycystic ovary syndrome – 38.33%, diminished ovarian reserve – 26.67%, hyperandrogenism – 41.67%, ovary cyst – 20.00%. The rate of the infections of the low genital tract before pregnancy was higher in women in the basic group, also 45.00% of these women had gynecological operations (χ2=19.43; p<0.001); thyroid diseases – 25.00% (χ2=5.03; p=0.02), overweight and obesity – 26.67%. Conclusion. Thus, the results of our study indicate that in the persons with cervical infertility and anovulatory infertility in anamnesis disorders in the reproductive system mostly start from the puberty period; the high rate of gynecological diseases, operations on the pelvic organs, pregnancy loss are typical for them. Key words: infertility, cervical insufficiency, factors.

Background. Primary dysmenorrhea (PD) is the commonest gynecological disorder in young women of reproductive age, and there is not always satisfactory relief of pain treated by common medications. Therefore, acupuncture has been used as an alternative therapy to relieve the symptoms of PD. In clinical practice, a penetrating method of acupuncture with long needle has been shown to be particularly effective for improving primary dysmenorrhea. This study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of this technique for pain relief in patients with primary dysmenorrhea as compared with a conventional pain medication. Methods. The present study is a perspective, randomized, ibuprofen-controlled trial. Sixty-two eligible participants were randomly assigned in a 1 : 1 ratio to receive either acupuncture treatment or ibuprofen administration. The treatment lasted for three menstrual cycles for both groups. The primary outcome was the intensity of menstrual pain measured by using the visual analogue scale at the completion of treatment. Secondary outcomes included the severity of symptoms associated with menstrual pain, responder rate, and safety of acupuncture treatment. The clinical outcomes were measured on each menstrual cycle at baseline, treatment course (3 cycles), and follow-up period. Results. Sixty-four patients of primary dysmenorrhea were recruited, and 62 subjects were included in the final analysis. At trial completion, acupuncture was shown to be associated with a significantly lower pain intensity and decreased symptom severity of primary dysmenorrhea as compared with ibuprofen (p<0.05). A significantly higher responder rate was found in the acupuncture group as compared with the control group (p<0.05). No serious adverse events were reported by patients in either group. Conclusions. The penetrating method of acupuncture with long needle may be an effective and safe therapy for pain relief in patients with primary dysmenorrhea. This trial was registered with the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (ChiCTR-IOR-17012621).

Background:Access to assays of circulating anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) levels has opened a new page in the assessment of ovarian function and fertility in various diseases, including rheumatic diseases (RDs). The definition of AMH as a marker of ovarian reserve significantly simplified its interpretation as well as measuring the contribution of the disease itself to the patients’ infertility.Objectives:To evaluate the effects of the disease and it’s treatment on serum AMH levels for Behcet’s disease (BD), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and systemic scleroderma (SSD).Methods:The study included 73 patients with RDs from 18 to 40 years: 42 patients with BD, 12 with SLE, 11 with RA, 8- with SSD, the control group consisted of 15 healthy women. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to measure AMH levels. Parametric and nonparametric statistical methods of Statistica 8.0 package were used for statistical processing of data.Results:Mean age in BD patients was 30.0 years, in SLE and RA -33.5 years, in SSD - 35.0 years, and 32.0 years in the control group. The average disease duration was 4.5 years, 11.5 years, 4.0 years and 6.0 years, respectively.BD, n=42SLE, n=12RA, n=11SSD, n=8Control, n=15Mean age, years30,0[26;35]33.5[29;38]33,5[24;36]35,0[28;40]32,0[26;35]Average disease duration, years4,5[2,6;9,0]11,5[2,8;18]4,0[4,0;6,0]6,0[2,0-10,0]-Mean AMH level, ng/ml2,5[1,1;3,7]3,5[0,4-7,1]3,35[2,0;7,6]2,5 [0,3;7,1]3,1[1,9;5,4]There were no significant differences in the mean AMH levels between the groups. No association between AMG levels and clinical manifestations, disease activity or duration of rheumatic disease was found. Baseline AMH – in treatment-naïve patients before initiation of any DMARDs was assessed in 11 BD patients. A significant (p>0.05) decrease of AMH levels was established in patients with high SLE activity treated with CP. Of notice, all examined patients were additionally receiving a GEBD -Rituximab.Conclusion:Decreased ovarian function was found in patients with high SLE activity treated with CP with Rituximab.Disclosure of Interests:None declared

Purpose of the study. Studying possible management of postoperative pain and normalization of adaptation status in patients with reproductive system onychopathology using xenon- oxygen therapy.Patients and methods. The study included 97 patients receiving surgical treatment for reproductive cancer at National Medical Research Centre for Oncology in 2016–2020. All patients were divided into the main and control groups depending on the performed corrective therapy with xenon- oxygen mixture. Inclusion criteria were: established diagnosis — endometrial cancer, cervical cancer or ovarian cancer at the surgical stage of antitumor treatment, absence of decompensated concomitant pathology. In addition to general clinical tests, the intensity of symptoms in patients was assessed using a standardized Edmonton questionnaire, adaptation status and data of a numerical rating scale of pain were recorded, the severity of endogenous intoxication was measured using calculated lymphocytic, leukocyte, nuclear and leukocyte shift index. Stages of the study included functional assessment of the patient's condition before surgical treatment and on the 1st and 5th days of the postoperative period.Results. An analysis showed statistically significant differences between the groups: in the group of patients receiving xenon- oxygen therapy, 12.9% of patients complained of pain, while in the control group — 34.2%, on mild exertion 17.1% and 39.9%, respectively (p<0.05). The therapy with xenon- oxygen mixture demonstrated its high significance in the adaptive status regulation and regression of negative clinical manifestations in patients after oncogynecological surgeries.Conclusion. The effectiveness of the chosen therapy with xenon- oxygen mixture demonstrates the possibility of anesthesia and normalization of the adaptive status of oncogynecological patients who underwent surgical treatment for reproductive cancers.

Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a complex endocrinopathy of women in their reproductive age with diversity in clinical manifestations. The phenotypic expressions and altered anthropometric indices are the key indicators of the abnormal transformations in metabolic, endocrine, and reproductive functionality of PCOS. Stress-induced activation of the Sympathetic-Adrenal-Medullary (SAM)-system and Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal (HPA)-axis results in series of neuroendocrine adaptations where over-activation of SAM/HPA response negatively affects the Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Gonadal (HPG) axis that highlight the possibility of the adverse impact of stress response system on reproductive and metabolic functions. Psychological distress and anxiety induced by the COVID-19 pandemic may aggravate the expressivity of PCOS and associated complexities. Objective: The present study aimed to find out some phenotypic features (hirsutism, acne, Acanthosis Nigricans (AN) and alopecia) in association with deviated anthropometric and derived indices, and stress biomarkers (Salivary α-amylase (SAA) and cortisol of SAM and HPA-axis respectively) among PCOS patients. Statistical analysis: SPSS (IBM, version 20) and Microsoft Office Excel 2010 were implied, and the quantitative variables were described as mean±SD (P < 0.01 and P < 0.05). Results: Significant alternations in the anthropometric indices were observed for PCOS patients that may lead to health risk. Alteration in body composition was strongly correlated with stress biomarkers in the case of both the experimental and control group. Central obesity was found to be a significant indicator of altered body composition in response to stress. Conclusion: Stress is a key modulator in the alternation of phenotypic manifestation as well as body composition of PCOS patients which could be the plausible reason for further deterioration of this multifaceted disorder due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Nevi, although benign neoplasms of the skin, but have a certain tendency to malignancy, which is influenced by various external and internal human factors. Predicting the risk of benign nevi against this background is an important topic for experimental research. The aim of the study was to establish the features of the skinfold thickness (SFT) in men of the first adult age with benign nevi. SFT was determined according to the Bunak scheme for men (aged 22-35 years) with melanocyte benign simple nevi (n=34), melanocyte benign dysplastic nevi (n=27), melanocyte benign congenital nevi (n=14) and non-melanocyte benign (n=17). The control group – SFT of 82 practically healthy men of the same age group was selected from the data bank of the Research Center of National Pirogov Memorial Medical University, Vinnytsya. Statistical processing of the results was performed in the license package “Statistica 5.5” using non-parametric evaluation methods. It was found that in practically healthy men higher than in patients – SFT on the anterior and posterior surfaces of the shoulder and thigh (in all groups of patients); SFT on the forearm, at the lower angle of the scapula, chest and shin (only in patients with melanocyte benign dysplastic nevi). Also in healthy men are found lower than in patients – SFT on the side (in all groups of patients); SFT in the abdomen (in patients with melanocyte benign simple and non-melanocyte benign nevi). When comparing SFT between patients with benign nevi, in most cases, lower values of SFT found in patients with melanocyte benign dysplastic nevi. The obtained results indicate the initial manifestations of abdominal (android) type of fat deposition in the body in patients with benign nevi (most pronounced in patients with melanocyte benign simple nevi).


Summary. Reproductive health is a priority in today’s global health care system. Among the factors of reproductive health disorders are female genital tract malformations. This pathology is mostly diagnosed with the onset of reproductive disorders at different ages of women, negatively affecting not only the reproductive but also the sexual functions of women, absorbing the quality of her life. The objective: to develop measures for the prevention of reproductive disorders in patients with female genital tract malformations based on the assessment of clinical manifestations and the frequency of reproductive disorders. Materials and methods. A retrospective assessment of reproductive disorders in 84 patients with a verified diagnosis of abnormalities in the development of the female genital organs was performed. The diagnosis was based on complaints, anamnestic data, the results of objective examination, clinical, laboratory and instrumental methods. The control group consisted of 25 women without abnormalities in the development of the female genitalia. Results. The mean age of the surveyed women was 27.6 ± 3.8 years. The duration of verification of the diagnosis of female genital tract malformations from the moment of the first visit to the gynecologist took an average of 3.1 ± 1.3 years. Of all the abnormalities in the development of the female reproductive system, 14.3 % were so-called «obstructive» abnormalities associated with impaired menstrual blood flow. Therefore, their clinical manifestation was earlier and more pronounced than in other patients and was manifested primarily by severe dysmenorrhea. Deviations in the age of onset of menarche occurred in 25 % of patients (OR =8; 95 % CI 1,019 – 62,798). In 73.8 % of women, the first reproductive disorders began during puberty. Dys menorrhea of varying severity occurred in 69.1 % of patients (OR = 7,064; 95 % СІ 2,527 – 19,744), of whom 70.6 % used medical treatment. The share of infertility among the women with anomalies in the development of the reproductive system was 19.1 %, pregnancy loss – 40.5 %. It was found that the risk of miscarriage in patients with congenital pathology of the female genitalia increases significantly (OR = 3,570; 95 % CI 1,125 – 11,325). 34.5 % of patients were diagnosed with genital endometriosis (OR = 6,064; 95 % СI 1,335 – 27,540). In 21.4 % of cases, abnormalities in the development of the female genitals were combined with congenital kidney disease. Conclusions. Prevention and predictability of reproductive disorders in patients with female genital tract malformations should begin with the pubertal period of the girl. A separate risk group consists of girls with pathology of the kidneys diagnosed prenatally. The basis for the prevention of reproductive health disorders in women with female genital tract malformations is the timely verification of congenital pathology and the development of a personalized system of management. The results of our research and the literature suggest that verification of the diagnosis of female genital tract malformations in women usually begins when patients have lost pregnancy or are experiencing infertility, while dysmenorrhea, menstrual irregularities that may occur in adolescence, often do not alert and do not become the basis for exclusion of congenital anomalies. That is why we believe that screening ultrasound examination of the pelvic organs in the presence of these disorders, it is advisable to conduct girls during puberty, if necessary – using 3D ultrasound and/or MRI.
