Objective. To develop and evaluate the efficiency of differentiated correction of the vaginal microbiocenosis in women with nonspecific cervicovaginitis in the first trimester of pregnancy.
Subjects and methods. The vaginal microflora was studied in 25 patients in the first trimester of pregnancy after using an antiseptic at Stage 1 of cervicovaginitis therapy (light electron microscopy, x1000, Gram staining). According to the status of the vaginal microflora, differentiated correction of the vaginal microbiocenosis was made in 24 women with nonspecific cervicovaginitis at 13-14 weeks’ gestation (a study group). In 26 patients (a comparison group), vaginal microbiocenosis was restored, without taking into account the pattern of microflora after the first stage of treatment.
Results. In the study group, recurrent cervicovaginitis was noted in 12.5% of cases; in the comparison group, the recurrence rate was 38.5% (p = 0.037). Preterm birth was observed in 19.2% of cases only among the patients of the comparison group (p = 0.05).
Conclusion. Differentiated correction of the vaginal microbiocenosis, according to the status of vaginal microflora, can reduce the rate of recurrent cervicovaginal infections and premature birth.
