Abstract

Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (HSCT) has been widely used fore decades as the most effec- tive treatment of several malignant and non-malignant hematological diseases. Among many complica- tions with occurrence after HSCT procedure, reproductive issues are often neglected although these can adversely affect the patient quality of life. The most common gynecological complications after HSCT include: ovarian insufficiency, increased risk of cervical atypia and carcinoma, thrombocytopenia-associ- ated menorrhagia, genital involvement of graft versus host disease, osteoporosis, fertility and pregnancy issues etc. Due to their relevance to the patients and constant growing of life expectance of women after HSCT it is of huge importance to diagnose and treat reproductive complications after the transplanta- tion procedure by multidisciplinary approach.
