THE IMPORTANCE OF CONNECTIVE TISSUE DYSPLASIA IN PATHOLOGICAL CONDITIONS IN OBSTETRICS AND GYNАECOLOGY

Abstract

A review of the literature on the problem of connective tissue dysplasia in
obstetrics and gynecology is presented. Questions of terminology, classification,
clinical manifestations are covered. Currently, many experts note a change in the
classical clinical course of significant number of somatic diseases, an increase in the
frequency of allergic and autoimmune diseases. Since the 90s years of the last century,
one of the main causes of the above-mentioned conditions began to be considered
connective tissue dysplasia. Connective tissue dysplasia is an anomaly in the
development of the human body, which lies at the basis of the formation of a significant
number of somatic diseases, with diverse symptoms and the absence of the clear
diagnostic criteria. In recent years there have been works devoted to the study of
connective tissue pathology in a number of gynecological diseases and conditions in
obstetrics. The presence of connective tissue dysplasia in women is a big problem in
obstetrics and gynecology. The obstetrician-gynecologist, when treating patients,
should pay close attention to the phenotypic features of connective tissue dysplasia and
carefully assess the state of the cardiovascular and pulmonary systems, the blood
coagulation system in this group of patients to shun possible severe, often life-
threatening complications.
