Abstract

About 80% of women of reproductive age are suffer from menstrual disorders, such as dysmenorrhea, intermenstrual bleeding, irregular menstruation.

The main causes of dysregulation of the reproductive system are: significant change in body weight, increased physical activity, nervous and mental strain, smoking, taking medications that affect neurotransmitters and neuromodulators, various endocrinopathies, inflammatory diseases of the sexual sphere, surgery on the ovaries.

It was found that menstrual irregularities can be as markers desadaptation on the background of increased psycho-emotional stress.

Menstrual disorders require long-term treatment, so it is important to choose not only effective, but also safe, well-tolerated drugs with minimal side effects. To date, these properties have herbal medicines, which greatly expand the treatment of menstrual disorders.

The study to examine the effectiveness of the phytodrug normocycle in patients with stress-induced menstrual disorders was performed.

The study includes 78 patients aged 17–25 years with functional disorders of the menstrual cycle such as opsomenorrhea (main group). Patients of the main group received the drug normocycle for 3 months. The control group consisted of 40 healthy women of the same age.

The effectiveness of the prescribed treatment was studied on the level of mental stress, dynamics of hormonal profile indicators, dynamics of the menstrual cycle parameters, ultrasound picture dynamic.

Menstrual cycle returned to normal in more than 70% of women after completion of normocycle therapy. At the same time the drug was well tolerated and there were no side effects of the drug.

The study results showed that use of the drug normocycle in women with stress-induced disorders of the menstrual cycle helps to reduce mental stress, stabilize the status of the nervous system that leads to the normalization of hormonal balance and restore the menstruation rhythm. Extending therapy up to 6 months increases the effectiveness of treatment, leads to the restoration of full luteal phase of the menstrual cycle.
