Magneto-infrared-light-laser therapy and ozone therapy in the complex treatment of salpingo-oophoritis after medical abortion

Abstract

Background. Complications following artificial abortion can lead to reproductive dysfunction and gynecological diseases, endocrine disorders, infertility, and miscarriage. One of the most important tasks of practical healthcare is the introduction of safer abortions and an adequate rehabilitation system, including early, as well as ultrasound, diagnostics of emerging complications, into the practice of obstetricians and gynecologists. Materials and methods. The study included 124 female patients (average age, 34.8+1.7 years) who applied for pregnancy termination in the first trimester. The women were divided into three groups. Group 1 included 52 (42.0%) female patients who received magnetic-infrared-light-laser and ozone therapy to prevent complications following a medical abortion in a complex of therapeutic measures with antibacterial drugs. Group 2 included 24 (19.3%) patients who had dysbiosis, allergic reactions, and drug disease and who used magnetic-infrared-light-laser and ozone therapy without antibiotics to prevent postabortion complications. The control subgroup comprised 48 (38.7%) patients who did not receive treatment for the prevention of complications. Results. A more rapid change in the size of the uterus toward normalization was noted in women in groups 1 and 2 who received preventive measures. In addition, 1 (2.0%) patient in group 1, 1 (4.1%) in group 2, and 3 (6.2%) in the control group had an exacerbation of bilateral chronic salpingo-oophoritis. Conclusions. The use of modern technologies (magnetic-infrared-light-laser and medical ozone therapy) with and without antibacterial therapy as preventive measures has a positive effect on uterine contractility and reduces the risk of inflammatory complications in the first months following artificial termination of pregnancy. Ultrasonography of the pelvic organs and laser biophotometer can be used as diagnostic tests and can assess the development of complications following a medical abortion.
