FEATURES OF DIAGNOSING VULVOVAGINAL INFECTIONS IN PREGNANT WOMEN WITH THREATENED ABORTION USING VARIOUS METHODS

Vulvovaginal infections are a significant concern in obstetrics, particularly among pregnant women with threatened abortion. Timely diagnosis of these infections plays a crucial role in preventing complications such as preterm labor and other pathological conditions. Objective: To investigate the features of diagnosing vulvovaginal infections in pregnant women with threatened abortion using various methods. Methods: The study involved 164 pregnant women diagnosed with cervicovaginal infection (CVI). All participants were divided into two groups: the main group (115 women) with threatened abortion and the comparison group (49 women) without threat. The control group consisted of 50 healthy pregnant women. Results: The use of microscopic, bacteriological, and PCR methods revealed common infections, including bacterial vaginosis and candidiasis. The application of gas-liquid chromatography (GLC) demonstrated high sensitivity and accuracy in identifying microorganisms and determining their quantitative content. Conclusion: A comprehensive approach, including GLC, significantly improves the effectiveness of diagnosis and enables the timely detection and treatment of vulvovaginal infections, thereby reducing the risk of complications in pregnant women with threatened abortion.
