[State of the reproductive function in women who had lymphogranulomatosis in childhood and adolescence].

Abstract

As many as 33 women who received combined treatment (fully successful) at an age of 5-26 years for lymphogranulomatosis were examined. In 30 patients, the structure and function of the reproductive organs was within age norm. In 20 women, there were 20 deliveries at an age of 19-33 years, with the mean age amounting to 23 years; 10 boys and 10 girls were born. The children are healthy. The selective toxicity of the treatment as a whole and of each of its components with regard to the reproductive organs was not proved. In the authors' opinion, two cases of disease relapses in pregnant women do not form basis for recommending the woman do refrain from pregnancy in the long-term periods after the treatment of lymphogranulomatosis.
