Abstract

The aim of the study – to analyze the role of an infectious pathogen in the development of uterine hyperplastic processes in comparison with healthy women to form risk groups for the occurrence of hyperplastic changes in the uterine mucosa.

Materials and Methods. We examined 90 patients of the gynecological department of Ternopil City Clinical Hospital No. 2 with benign endometrial hyperplasia of reproductive age during 2017–2019, confirmed by histological findings after surgical hysteroscopy. In a control group of volunteer patients (30 women), material was collected using a Pipel biopsy with examination of the evacuated material from the uterine cavity. All patients were tested for pathogens such as Mycoplasma hominis, Ureaplasma urealiticum, Chlamydia trachomatis, Herpex simplex virus I, II by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) (IgG, IgM); Gardnerella vaginalis, Trichomonas vaginalis in smears from the vagina and urethra by the method of polymerase chain reaction, as well as the detection of human papilloma virus (PVL) 16/18 was performed using the method of polymerase chain reaction.

Results and Discussion. The most common among infectious agents was the human papilloma virus type 16/18, which in the experimental groups was detected in 40.0–41.67 % compared with the control group of 10.0 %. The obtained data necessitate high-quality infectious screening for the formation of risk groups for the occurrence of hyperplastic changes in the uterine mucosa.

Conclusions. The role of infectious agents play an important role in the development of hyperplastic changes of the uterine mucosa. The obtained results allow us to consider infectious pathogens as cofactors of hyperplastic processes of the uterus, which are pathogenetically associated with the flora of the lower genital tract and are involved in the implementation of the inflammatory process.
