Abstract

The conceptual basis of population’s reproductive health care problem is premature detection and prevention of reproductive disorders caused by the influence of various adverse factors. Evaluation of these disorders and primary prevention remains a less-heeded and acute problem of health care. The aim of research is to study the diseases caused by the influence of harmful industrial chemical factors on the reproductive health of women employed in different fields of Georgian industry (Zestafoni Ferro Alloy Plant and Chiatura ores of LTD “Georgian Manganese”). Epidemiological research of the employed women's contingent was conducted in these enterprises. The primary material was obtained using a questionnaire developed by internationally recognized criteria for reproductive health. The questionnaire included age (20 - 60 years and above) and years of work (0 - 25 years and above) and following indicators such as menstrual cycle disturbance, spontaneous abortions, toxic pregnancy, stillbirth and low weight of newborns. The identified changes in the reproductive health of women at these plants such as menstrual cycle disorders, spontaneous abortions, multiple births, a high number of health disorders in the generation, should be considered as specific indicators and a risk factor of the harmful effects of manganese compounds.
