THE ROLE OF GUT MICROBIOTA IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF VARIOUS PATHOLOGIES DURING PREGNANCY

Abstract

During pregnancy, the gut microbiota is closely associated with the immune, metabolic, and endocrine systems of the body and plays a crucial role in the health of both the mother and the fetus. Recent studies have demonstrated a link between gut microbiota dysbiosis and the development of conditions such as gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, preterm birth, and intrauterine growth restriction. This article analyzes changes in the gut microbiota during pregnancy, their effects on pathological outcomes, and reviews current scientific research and statistical data. The study concludes with discussions of the applied research methods and final conclusions.
