Abstract
Objective. Assessment of the effectiveness of pelotherapy in combination with phytoaromatic baths in women during menopause transition. Patients and methods. We examined 26 women aged 52 ± 2.4 years. All women with vegetative-vascular manifestations of the climacteric syndrome were randomly assigned to 2 groups for comparison: group 1 – 12 patients, who received full-body “rapa” baths, inhalation phytoaromatherapy with a complex composition including phytoestrogens; group 2 – 14 patients, who received pelotherapy with applications of Saki lake mud on the «panty» zone and hydrodynamic phytoaromatic baths with a complex composition including phytoestrogens. Results. After therapy, a significant improvement of the parameters of climacteric disorders was noted in group 2. Severe disorders were practically absent in the second group – 2% (65 ± 6.1 scores), whereas mild changes prevailed – 64% (18 ± 5.3 scores). Changes in the microcirculation parameter were found, which increased by 19%, an increased contribution of endothelial oscillations to the total flux motion level, an increase of the amplitude of neurogenic and myogenic oscillations, a decrease of respiratory rates on average from 9.2 to 5.51 perf. units. In the first group, no significant changes were recorded. Conclusion. The use of pelotherapy in combination with hydrodynamic phytoaromatic baths permits to improve the parameters of microcirculation, venous and lymph output, trophism and oxygenation of tissues, and also ensures an adaptogenic effect.
