宗旨及范围

The journal discusses the most pressing health issues such as reproductive health protection, problems of modern perinatal obstetrics, and adverse effects of environmental and industrial factors on the women's reproductive system and health. The journal deposits new and important information and recommendations for practitioners (introduction of modern technologies, the use of effective drugs and diagnostic techniques, etc.). Of great interest are publications related to clinical genetics and the role of genetic factors in obstetric and gynecological pathology, medical and genetic counseling of patients with reproductive dysfunction and at the birth of children with congenital malformations and hereditary diseases in the past.

National reproductive behavior is a cause of the deteriorating health of the population, low fertility and the lack of simple reproduction of the population in this country. In this regard, there are regular publications of clinical and sociological studies on modern contraceptives in family planning, prevention of abortions and their harmful consequences for women's health. Publications related to perinatal protection of the fetus and newborn, timely identification of risk factors in pregnant women, and differentiated management, considering the pathology of pregnancy and extragenital diseases, as well as the choice of a rational method of delivery in all fairness occupy a large place in the journal.

Multifaceted coverage of the problems of reconstructive surgical gynecology remains traditional for the journal. These are improving the technique of surgical interventions, in particular, endoscopic methods using lasers, electro- and cryosurgery, as well as reconstructive plastic surgery of the pelvic floor using modern synthetic materials, prevention of tumor recurrence, medical rehabilitation, and therapeutic and rehabilitation therapy (improving the quality of life, restoring the ability to work, returning the ability to implement reproductive function). As before, the journal pays much attention to vaginal dysbiotic conditions, bacterial vaginosis, diagnosis and treatment of reproductive tract infections in pregnant women and gynecological patients. Taking into account the importance of the physiology and pathology of the perimenopause, due to the absolute and relative increase in the number of elderly and senile women, the journal systematically publishes materials on hormone replacement therapy.

The periodicity of the journal is six issues a year. In addition, special issues are published within the framework of congresses and conferences.

It can be stated with confidence that the first Russian "Journal of Obstetrics and Women's Diseases" makes a prominent contribution to the formation of the national school of obstetricians and gynecologists, and now supports and promotes promising scientific research, contributing to its implementation in practice and thus bringing valuable assistance to both doctors and patients.
