Recently, laser therapy in gynecology is becoming increasingly prevalent. And this is due to good therapeutic effectiveness and a number of advantages in comparison with other physiotherapeutic procedures. In addition, the use of the laser in gynecology is becoming more accessible.
Laser action in gynecology
Laser treatment can be carried out in several variations. This can be done by contact with the skin of the stomach or by inserting a special sensor into the vagina. In some cases, a combination of the above methods is used. Intravascular laser application is also possible.
Physiotherapy with a laser in gynecology allows:
- normalize biochemical processes at the cellular level;
- blood circulation and saturation of cells with oxygen and nutrients improves;
- the process of tissue repair is stimulated;
- increases the therapeutic effect of drug therapy;
- decreases the manifestation of the main symptoms of diseases, including pain.
In addition to efficiency, laser treatment in gynecology is also well tolerated and absolutely painless. The undoubted advantage is that in the treatment of chronic diseases this method significantly increases the duration of remission.
Laser therapy - when you can and you can not?
The therapeutic laser in gynecology does not have side effects. Course laser therapy is valid under the following conditions:
- chronic inflammatory diseases of the genital organs;
- Adhesive processes that interfere with the normal functioning of the pelvic organs;
- menstrual dysfunction, abnormal ovarian function;
- endocervicitis ;
- light and moderate forms of endometriosis;
- some causes of infertility;
- removal of genital warts, papillomas;
- to improve the course of the postoperative and postpartum period .
But it is not recommended to use physiotherapy with a laser in gynecology for various neoplasms. Including with myomas, cysts, mastopathy. In such cases, the laser can provoke further growth of the formation and even lead to its malignancy.
In acute inflammatory processes, laser therapy should also not be used. It is known that the action of the laser can promote an even greater activation of inflammatory mediators and free radicals. And this does not always successfully affect the overall condition.
