Abstract

The article presents the results of the comparative study of the effectiveness of phytodrug Normocycle to restore the menstrual cycle in women with chronic inflammatory diseases of the pelvic organs.

The study cohort included 96 women aged 25–32 years with verified chronic inflammatory diseases of the pelvic organs and disorders of the menstrual cycle, which developed after suffering inflammation.

At the first phase of the rehabilitation program was provided for the appointment of a 14-day course of anti-inflammatory therapy for all study participants. Patients from two major groups received Normocycle by standard scheme: the first group (40 patients) – from the first day of anti-inflammatory therapy and for 3 months thereafter, the second group (30 patients) –

within 3 months after completion of the anti-inflammatory therapy. 26 patients of control group received anti-inflammatory therapy only.

As a result of treatment in both major clinical groups was observed significantly decrease the incidence of dysmenorrhea (from 67.5 to 12.5% in the first group and from 53.3 to 20.0% in the second group), whereas significant reduction the manifestations of dysmenorrhea in patients of control group was occurred only in 15.4% of cases (from 42.3 to 26.9%). Normalization of the menstrual cycle after 3-month Normocycle therapy was occurred in 77.5% of patients of the first group and 70.0% of patients of the second group, and only in 42.3% of cases of the comparison group.

As the study authors note, rehabilitation of reproductive function in women with menstrual cycle disorders due to inflammatory diseases of the pelvic organs should be initiated concurrently with the anti-inflammatory therapy. Pharmacological effects of Asparagus racemosus, Glycyrrhiza glabra, Kurkuma longa, Symplocos racemosa, which are the part of the drug Normocycle, enhance the effects of anti-inflammatory therapy, and allow to achieved the clinical effect in 77.5% of patients, the normalization of hormonal balance at 72.5% of patients and the recovery of ovulatory cycles in 52.9% of patients.
