Abstract

Balneo-gynaecological treatment methods include external bath hydrotherapy, sedentary baths and topical dressings/cataplasm, and internal (intravaginal or intrarectal use of peloids and mineral water). Hyperosmolar thermal spas have been very popular in the treatment of infertility due to the improvement of symptoms of chronic pelvic pain, endometriosis, chronic vascular and inflammatory pelvic diseases. Acute pelvic inflammatory syndrome is a contraindication for balneo-hydrotherapy while hyperthermal hydrotherapy is contraindicated in endometriosis and neurovegetative dystonia due to the stimulation of hyperemia, which worsens the clinical picture. Balneo-hydrotherapy is not recommended in metrorrhagia and malignancies. Balneogynaecological treatment certainly has its own primary but also complementary role in the treatment of chronic gynaecological diseases and is increasingly recommended today.
