[The problem mare part 1: pathogenesis and clinical investigation].

The research article covers the issue of fertility in mares that have a problem with getting pregnant, detailing methods of treatment, causes and a practicable approach to clinical examination. The article further explores various therapeutic possibilities including anatomical corrections, anti-infection therapies, and treatments to enhance uterine defence mechanisms.

Problem Mares and Fertility Issues

• The research looks into cases of mares that have difficulty getting pregnant. These cases are often complex, and determining the right treatment requires an understanding of the uterus’s defence mechanisms and the causes of the horse’s difficulty in carrying a pregnancy.
• This could be due to a number of factors, including uterine infections, anatomical abnormalities or issues with the uterine defence mechanism.

Diagnosis and Clinical Examination

• The research emphasizes the importance of a complete clinical examination in making an accurate diagnosis. This examination should be undertaken systematically and thoroughly, taking into account every aspect of the mare’s health that could affect fertility.
• The article provides a practical walkthrough of how such an examination should be conducted, potentially serving as a guide for veterinarians dealing with similar cases.

Therapeutic Methods

• The paper discusses different therapeutic methods in its second section. The authors classify these into three main groups: anatomical corrections, anti-infectious therapy, and treatments to boost the uterine defence mechanism.
• Anatomical corrections could involve surgery to rectify any structural abnormalities in the uterus that may be causing fertility issues.
• Anti-infectious therapy could entail the use of antibiotics or other treatments to combat any infection or disease in the uterus that may be preventing pregnancy.
• Treatments to enhance the uterine defence mechanism may include pharmaceutical or other therapeutic interventions designed to strengthen the uterus’s ability to protect and maintain a pregnancy.
