Abstract

The article describes the medicinal properties of peloids, the mechanism of action and the possibilities of using peloid therapy in the treatment of patients with chronic infectious and inflammatory diseases of the pelvic organs. A search and study of publications containing information on the use of peloid therapy in gynecological practice was carried out in domestic and foreign databases (PubMed, CyberLeninka, Elibrary, Google Scholar). Also, authors have presented their own clinical experience of using Dead Sea mud in treatment, preventive and rehabilitation programs for women with infectious and inflammatory diseases of the urogenital tract.

Conclusion. Most publications on the use of peloid therapy cover the treatment of rheumatic or dermatological diseases. Data on the effectiveness of peloid therapy in gynecology are very limited. Analysis of available data and author’s own clinical experience using a gel based on Dead Sea mud confirmed the positive effect of peloid therapy in the rehabilitation of patients with chronic urogynecological diseases, such as vulvovaginitis, cervicitis, cystourethritis. However, further studies with a larger sample of patients are necessary to develop standardized algorithms for the prevention of chronic gynecological diseases.
