Traditional and modern ideas about the health of women whose pregnancy occurred as a result of assisted reproductive technologies
It is established that the health of women, whose pregnancy occurred as the result of assisted reproductive technologies, significantly more likely to have a negative impact of gynecological and physical disorders compared with the group of women with spontaneous pregnancies occurred. Women undergoing IVF were more likely to have complicated obstetric history mainly due to high frequency of non-developing or ectopic pregnancies, which along with a high frequency of somatic and gynecological diseases in these women may adversely affect the course and outcome of pregnancy after IVF. Taking into account centuries-old traditional medical beliefs about infertility, we consider it is necessary to evaluate the results of the present study with the positions of the various traditional medical systems to retrieve ways of health status correction in women with a diagnosis of “infertility” with methods of traditional medicine.
