PROGNOSIS OF HYPOGALACTIA DEVELOPMENT IN WOMEN WITH UTERINE LEIOMYOMA
The objective: the study of the reliability and feasibility of the use of a method for early prediction of hypogalactia in women with leiomyoma of uterus. Patients and methods: 50 pregnant women with leiomyoma of the uterus were examined. The concentration of estradiol, progesterone, prolactin, cortisol in the blood of women on the 5th day of postpartum lactation and the cortisol / prolactin concentration factor in serum of these women were studied. Subsequently, the duration of lactation in such women is analyzed. Results: the results indicate an increased cortisol / prolactin factor greater than 2 times in the 5th day of the postpartum period in women with leiomyoma in the uterus, in which later there was hypogalactia, in comparison with women of the same group who had lactation prolonged and fully . Conclusion: a study of the cortisol / prolactin factor in serum in a childbearing age with leiomyoma in the uterus at the 5th day of the postpartum period is reliable in relation to the prediction of hypogalactia in such in such a group of women.
