[Urinary tract infections in pregnancy: when to treat, how to treat, and what to treat with].
Urinary tract infections (UTI) in pregnant women are a relatively frequent occurrence and the spectrum of these infections ranges from lower urinary tract disease (asymptomatic bacteriuria, acute cystitis) to upper urinary tract disease (acute pyelonephritis). Anatomical and functional changes in the urinary tract in pregnancy result in significantly higher susceptibility to progression of the infection from asymptomatic bacteriuria to the stage of acute pyelonephritis. Untreated asymptomatic bacteriuria in pregnancy leads, in as much as 40%, to the development of acute pyelonephritis with all the subsequent negative effects not only for the woman herself, but particularly for the fetus. ⋯ The article provides an overview of medications that can be safely used throughout the pregnancy or only in certain stages of pregnancy. The selection of an appropriate antibiotic should always be preceded by the result of urine culture. The article presents the principles and rules for treating asymptomatic bacteriuria, acute cystitis and acute pyelonephritis in pregnant women.

Randomized Controlled Trial
[Effect of GnRH analogues pre-treatment on myomectomy outcomes in reproductive age women].
To evaluate the role of three-monthly pre-treatment with gonadothropin releasing hormone (GnRH) analogues prior to myomectomy for women in comparison with control group of patients with no application. Analysis is focused on peroperative and postoperative results of surgery treatment for women with clinically symptomatic uterine fibroids in reproductive age with interest in getting pregnant. ⋯ Application of GnRH analogues in observed group of patients before LM and OM have not lead to improvement of peroperative results in comparison with control group. Pre-treatment of GnRh analogues before OM have lead to significant drop in recidives of uterine fibroids observed by SLL (p = 0.0025) compared with control group.
