Diagnostic of vaginitis of bacterial etiology in the nutrias using the colpocytoscopy method

Abstract

To date, there are a number of unresolved problems in breeding of nutrias, one of which is the diagnosis of vaginitis in the early stages of the development of the process. Due to the lack of timely detection of the pathology of the reproductive organs of females in the postnatal period, in particular, the vaginitis, females go through, the fertilization of such animals is not effective and, as a consequence, the farm receives low profits. Therefore, the development of fast and cheap methods for the diagnosis of vaginitis of bacterial etiology in sodium in the early stages of the development of the process is an urgent issue. The purpose of the work was to adapt the method of colpocytoscopy for the diagnosis of postnatal vaginitis of bacterial etiology in females in the early stages of the development of the process in order to provide timely treatment and to develop methods for the prevention of complications. Colpocytoscopy – a method of studying the state of the internal genital organs of female animals, by which they assess the condition of the mucous membrane, the presence of injuries or tumors, determine the presence of pathological processes. The essence of the technique is to paint a vaginal smear, followed by studying it under a microscope. We performed a colpocytoscopy study of 12 females in the first week of postpartum period that had complications during labor. According to the results of our studies, 7 females out of 12 had inflammation of the vaginal mucosa. At the microscopy of the vaginal smear of these females, a large number of neutrophils were detected in all 7 diseased animals, as well as bacterial microflora: sticks, cocci in 3 out of 7 diseased animals (normally in the diestrous stage in vaginal infusion of nutrias, as in females of other animals (in particular female), there is only a small amount of neutrophils available). Conducting such a study becomes of special relevance, taking into account the peculiarities of the course of the genital cycle, as in some animals the fertility ability is 2‒3 days after the puppy. In farms, the diagnosis of vaginitis in the postnatal period is not carried out, but very often they carry out fertilization immediately after delivery. In this case, traumatized, inflamed sex can be further infected by the female during sexual intercourse with the male and, accordingly, have more severe consequences – intrauterine infection, embryonic mortality, and so on. Thus, colpocytoscopy is not expensive, easy to implement by a method for assessing the state of genital organs of females, the use of which provides objective diagnosis of vaginitis of bacterial etiology, allows the development and introduction of reasonable and timely treatment, as well as preventing more severe consequences such as intrauterine infection, embryonic mortality, and so on.
