title: [Preventive gynecological examinations of women employed in the cement industry].
abstract: Prophylactic gynecologic examinations were carried out in 218 women-workers of a cement plant. The most frequent diseases were: retroflexion of the uterus (55.5%), inflammation of the ovary (50.45%), erosion of the vaginal part of the uterus (41.8%), prolapse of the vaginal walls (39.45%), incontinence (35.32%) and Trichomonas vaginalis (18.7%). The extensive prevalence of the diseases imposes a need to carry on preventive examinations of women employed in cement industry. The authors indicate that certain diseases are obviously due to deficient hygiene.
