Women's gonorrhea on railway transport

The material for this article is the cards of patients who passed through the gynecological office of the Kazan polyclinic Moscow-Kaz. zh. d. for 2 / 2 years of its existence (from 1 VII 1926 to 31 XII 1928). These patients consisted exclusively of the railway population of Kazan and the nearest stations that applied to our office not only for narrowly specialized help for female gonorrhea, but in general for obstetric and gynecological. Once in the gynecological office, they were subjected to accounting, special studies, systematic treatment and preventive treatment. During the specified period, 4,350 primary visits were registered in our office, of which 957 cases fall to the share of gonorrhea (zh. g.) and its complications, which is 22% relative to the total number of visits. The percentage is large, but not exhaustive, because not all cases are included in this number; many patients suffering from this disease have passed us by or have not been treated anywhere at all. Therefore, the actual percentage should be expected to be even higher. If we compare it with the percentages available in this regard from other authors, we will make sure that it is higher than them. So, according to the material of the Volyn district dispensary for the urban population, it is equal to 18.7%. Of course, the % obtained by us has only relative significance: it does not reflect the actual size of the gonorroization of the female population of transport, but based on it we can still say with confidence that, in terms of its prevalence and significance, gonorrhea in transport workers undoubtedly occupies one of the first places among gynecological diseases, and that the actual percentage of women affected by this the disease should be considered, in any case, not lower, but higher than it is calculated in Koltsov (from 20 to 30%).
