Trabalho de Conclusão de Curso (Graduação em Farmácia), Departamento de Farmácia, Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, Natal, 2022.https://repositorio.ufrn.br/handle/123456789/50049The vaginal microbiota acts as the first line of defense against opportunistic microorganisms with pathogenic potential. Factors such as the use of broad-spectrum antimicrobials, hormonal contraceptives, urogenital infections and hormonal changes can unbalance this microbiota and favor the appearance of vulvovaginitis, as is the case of pregnancy, in which physiological changes make the pregnant woman prone to developing some genital disease. Reproductive Tract Infections during pregnancy can have consequences such as premature birth, miscarriage, pelvic inflammatory disease, low birth weight, infertility, premature rupture of membranes, chronic infections and even death. The objective of this work is to identify the prevalence of vulvovaginitis in pregnant women through an analysis of data from pre-existing studies. An integrative review was carried out in PubMed, Scielo and Google Scholar electronic databases. Cohort, case-control and cross-sectional studies that have been published in English, Portuguese and/or Spanish, from 2001 to 2021 were selected. Twelve articles were selected, adding up to a total of two thousand, three hundred and thirty-three (2,3088) pregnant women. The cases of each occurrence of vulvovaginitis in the inserted works were added. The three most prevalent vulvovaginitis in pregnant women were Bacterial Vaginosis (552 cases), which had Gardnerella vaginalis as the main causative agent; Vulvovaginal Candidiasis (507 cases), whose predominant fungus was Candida Albicans; and Trichomoniasis (44 cases). The use of hormonal and antimicrobial contraceptives was controversial in terms of favoring vulvovaginitis. Pregnant women with some vaginal condition were mostly in the second half of pregnancy, or third trimester. As for the outcome of pregnant women who developed vulvovaginitis during pregnancy, only one study pointed out the results, showing membrane rupture as the most important and relevant perinatal complication in the study carried out. Through this integrative review, it was possible to observe the need for greater attention for the detection of vulvovaginitis in pregnant women, given the susceptibility to changes in the vaginal flora; in addition to developing studies that monitor the outcome of pregnancy in women who developed vulvovaginitis during this period.Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 Brazilhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/br/microbiotavulvovaginitesgravidezvulvovaginitispregnancybachelorThesisCNPQ::CIENCIAS DA SAUDE
