Journal Title: Interventions in Gynaecology and Women’s Healthcare - Year 2018, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
Rheumatism is a systemic inflammatory disease of connective tissue and joints with a predominantly affected heart. Children and young people are ill mostly: women are 3 times more likely than men. Therefore, the problem of rheumatism in pregnant women is quite common. The main etiological factor in acute forms of the disease is betahemolytic streptococcus of group A [1]. In patients with prolonged and continuously recurrent forms of rheumatic heart disease, the association of the disease with streptococcus often fails to be established. In such cases, the defeat of the heart, which fully meets all the main criteria for rheumatism, apparently has a different nature - allergic (not related to streptococcus or, in general, infectious antigens), infectious-toxic, viral. Speaking of rheumatism, it is implied that the process involves the musculoskeletal system and the cardiovascular system [2]. Given this fact, it becomes extremely clear that pregnancy with such extra genital pathology should proceed under the compulsory supervision of not only the obstetrician-gynecologist, but also the rheumatologist. According to statistical data, pregnancy itself rarely leads to the development of an unpleasant phenomenon of the future mother, such as rheumatism. Usually, women already suffer from this ailment, only during pregnancy the disease worsens in 20% of women and causes many pregnant women to seek medical help [3]. The development of rheumatism is observed in the first months of pregnancy, when there is a weakening of immunity and the body as a whole. This indicates that the body is not able to withstand various diseases, which are mostly infectious. Births also play a significant role in the development of extra genital pathology. After all, it is well known that after giving birth, the body is significantly weakened and loses ability to fight against many diseases, including rheumatism. It takes sufficient time for the body to recover and the woman to return to her former strength. The most unpleasant thing is that if rheumatism worsens at the initial stage of pregnancy, it can lead to an interruption of the process, because any acute inflammation occurring in the body requires mandatory medical intervention and the admission of certain groups of drugs [4]. How rheumatism is manifested and how can it happen in pregnant women? Most often it is caused by beta-hemolytic streptococcus group A.
