Influence of the conditions of military-professional activity on reproductive health of military females which are training in tank regiment

Abstract

The influence of the conditions of military professional activity on the reproductive health of female military personnel studying on the basis of a tank regiment is analyzed. It is known that the operating conditions of tankers are characterized by specific features that complicate and impede work, adversely affect combat efficiency and health. In August 2019, in the Russian Federation, for the first time in the history of the Tank Biathlon military competition, which took place as part of international army games, a crew consisting entirely of female military personnel took part. In this regard, new tasks have arisen regarding the organization of military professional activity, considering the physiological, anatomical, psychophysiological characteristics of the female body, considering that the physiological characteristics of the female body affect professional health, and military labor factors, in turn, manifest themselves as an adverse effect on the state of somatic and reproductive health of female military personnel. A gynecological examination of 26 female military personnel undergoing retraining in a training tank regiment (military unit 30616) in the village of Pakino, Vladimir Region, was performed to identify the incidence or other health problems resulting from adaptation to specific conditions of service. It included: a survey (collection of complaints, clarification of gynecological and obstetric anamnesis), examination of the mammary glands, gynecological examination, taking smears for vaginal biocenosis and oncocytology from the cervix with subsequent interpretation of the results, ultrasound examination of the pelvic organs. It was revealed that inflammatory diseases of the lower genital tract (65%) and, to a lesser extent, cervical ectopy (27%) and menstrual irregularities (23%) predominated from the pathology of the genitourinary system. In order to preserve the professional, reproductive health and specific functions of the female body, it is necessary to take measures to introduce targeted hygienic education of female military personnel, early diagnosis and regular medical examination, as well as introduce an individual hygiene kit into everyday use that is aimed at timely prevention, effective self-diagnosis and treatment of inflammatory pathology of the lower female genital tract, as well as to prevent unwanted No pregnancy and early pregnancy diagnosis.
