The paper analyzed pregnancy course, delivery, and outcomes in 160 women who had been previously treated for genital endometriosis, compared with 50 healthy women with normally progressing pregnancies, using standard clinical, laboratory, and instrumental methods and statistical analysis with Statistica 10.0. In the endometriosis group, key “critical” gestational windows were reported at 6–12, 18–22, and 30–34 weeks, with complications including threatened early miscarriage (50%), placental dysfunction (65%), chronic fetal hypoxia (35%), fetal growth restriction (20%), and abnormal labor activity (60%). The main limitation is that the study focuses on women previously treated for genital endometriosis rather than treatment-naïve cases, and it does not provide further methodological details beyond the stated methods and analysis approach. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it specifically examines pregnancy and delivery outcomes in women with genital endometriosis.

Abstract

Background. The problem of genital endometriosis is relevant both in medical and in social aspects.Aim of the research. To analyze the course of pregnancy, childbirth and their outcomes in genital endometriosis to justify the critical terms of the complicated course of pregnancy and determine approaches for the development of therapeutic and preventive measures.Material and methods. The main group – 160 pregnant women, previously treated for genital endometriosis. The control group was 50 healthy women with a normal pregnancy. The generally accepted clinical laboratory and instrumental methods of the research were used. Statistical analysis of the data was carried out using the software package Statistica 10.0. Results. Gestational periods of 6-12 weeks, 18-22 weeks, 30-34 weeks of pregnancy are critical for women of the main group. The course of pregnancy is complicated by the threat of an early miscarriage (50%), placental disorders (65%), chronic hypoxia (35%) and fetal growth retardation (20%), anomalies of labor (60%).Conclusions. The complicated course of pregnancy in patients with genital endometriosis justifies the need to develop a comprehensive program for the prevention of gestational and perinatal complications.

ТЕЧЕНИЕ БЕРЕМЕННОСТИ И ИСХОДЫ РОДОВ У ЖЕНЩИН С ГЕНИТАЛЬНЫМ ЭНДОМЕТРИОЗОМ Аннотация Введение. Проблема генитального эндометриоза актуальна как в медицинском, так и в социальном аспектах. Цель. Провести анализ течения беременности, родов, их исходов при генитальном эндометриозе для обоснования критических сроков осложненного течения беременности и определения подходов для разработки лечебно-профилактических мероприятий. Материал и методы. Основнкая группа – 160 беременных, ранее пролеченных по поводу генитального эндометриоза. Контрольная группа – 50 здоровых женщин с нормально протекающей беременностью. Использованы общепринятые клинико-лабораторные и инструментальные методы исследования. Статистический анализ данных проведен с использованием пакета прикладных программ Statistica 10.0. Результаты. Критические для женщин основной группы сроки гестации – 6-12 недель, 18-22 недели, 30-34 недели беременности. Течение беременности осложняется угрозой раннего выкидыша (50%), плацентарными нарушениями (65%), хронической гипоксией (35%) и задержкой роста плода (20%), аномалиями родовой деятельности (60%). Выводы. Осложненное течение беременности у пациентов с генитальным эндометриозом обосновывает необходимость разработки комплексной программы профилактики гестационных и перинатальных осложнений.
