Preconception preparation. Myths and reality

Abstract

Given the unfavourable demographic situation in the Russian Federation today, giving birth to a healthy child is becoming a topical issue. This is so because the generation with poor health indicators is entering their childbearing period. The portrait of contemporary young woman can be described as follows: she has 2 or more chronic extragenital diseases (arterial hypertension, chronic pyelonephritis, cystitis, anemia), early initiation of sexual activity, frequently changing sexual partners (STD), failure to use contraceptives (abortions), weight deficit, and bad habits.
