title: [Results of examination of the reproductive organs of female workers in the textile industry].
abstract: 595 women, knitting-industry workers, were examined. This number constituted 47% of all employees of the knitting plant. 125 of those women were pregnant. Among non-pregnant women 35% exhibited reproductive organ pathologies. Of pregnant women 61% exhibited pregnancy complications. The prevalent pathologies of reproductive organs were uterine cervix erosion--37.8%, vaginitis--23.9%, and menstruation disturbances--12.8%. Of pregnancy complications anaemia--47.8%, early gestoses--27.8%, and vaginitis--6.6% prevailed. The working women indicated a statistically significant dependence between the posture at work and prevalence of gynecopathies. Most pathologies affected women walking at work, whereas, least pathologies were observed in those working at sitting posture.
