Abstract
Objective. To assess the knowledge of reproductive possibilities among female medical university students and to reveal their awareness of Chlamydia infection. Subject and methods. A total of 1391 first-to-fifth-year female medical students were examined for their reproductive health. In addition, 100 first-to-second-year students were tested for Chlamydia trachomatis, by using two nucleic acid amplification methods (polymerase chain reaction and transcription-mediated amplification). Results. The medical university students turned out to be unaware of contraception, sexually transmitted infections, and abortion complications. The detection rate of urogenital chlamydiasis among early-year students was 12%, which was higher than the respective rate in other countries. Conclusion. The main directions of enhancing the reproductive potential of the students are to optimize sexual and reproductive behavior, by preventing abortions and urogenital infections, and to extensively introduce diagnostic, therapeutic, and preventive measures for reduction of gynecological morbidity in students.
