[Chronic salpingo-oophoritis: clinical and physiological rationale for therapeutic application of impulse low-frequency electrostatic field].

Significant alterations in arterial and venous circulation, primarily in the vascular bed of the small pelvis, were detected in 63 patients with chronic salpingo-oophoritis. All the women received intensive therapy with impulse low-frequency electrostatic field (ILFEF). In 52 women the exposure was abdominovaginal, in 11 women the exposure was preceded by placebo procedures. ILFEF produced marked and long-term positive effects (up to 18 months): pain relief, reduction of vegetative anxiety, increased uterine motility, softening and better elasticity of the commissures in the regions of the uterine appendages, normalization of the circulation in the vascular bed of the small pelvis. This therapy is pathogenetically sound as it rests on changes in activity of central regulation resultant from trigger stimulation and normalization of hemodynamics in the vascular bed of the small pelvis (in 76.6%) especially in the veins in response to stimulation of the sympathetic nerves in the inflammation focus.
