Abstract

Introduction. Inflammatory diseases of the pelvic organs (IDPO) are common forms of pathology, which are often accompanied by serious complications. Aim: to determine the leading reproductive outcomes in adolescent girls with IDPO. Materials and methods. The review is based on the analysis of the features of the course of IDPO and the impact of their complications on the reproductive function of adolescent girls. A search was conducted in the PubMed and Cochrane Library databases with a depth of 5 years. Results. It has been established that the highest incidence of IDPO in adolescent girls is at the age of 15–19 years due to the early onset of sexual activity, the lack of effective contraception and the presence of several frequently infected partners. Recurrent infections, chronic pelvic pain, purulent complications (salpingitis, pyosalpinx, tubo-ovarian abscess), ectopic pregnancy, premature birth, endometriosis and infertility are the leading outcomes of IDPO in adolescent girls. It was revealed that the absence of sexual activity does not exclude the occurrence of IDPO and its complications in girls. This is due to the state of immune protection against infectious pathogens in girls, and the qualitative and quantitative composition of the microbiota of the genital tract. Therefore, it is so necessary to manage and conduct a wide screening of adolescents for the presence of sexually transmitted infections to prevent their negative impact on the fertility of young males and females, and effective training of adolescents on all significant issues of reproductive health.
