Ozonetherapy as the Main Component of the Complex Treatment of Threatened Abortion

Abstract

80 pregnant women with threatened abortion of infectious (40) and endocrine (40) genesis were treated with medical ozone. We established the following laboratory changes:

–          The study of lipid peroxidation processes on the background of ozonetherapy showed a decrease in the primary and secondary molecular products. The average 22,1% increase in the total antioxidative plasma activity was established.

–          The patients treated with ozone showed an average week’s increase in progesterone concentration 3,3 times higher, in placental lactogen 2,4-3,6 times higher as compared with the conventional treatment.

–          After using ozonetherapy, we established a credible decrease (by 20-50%) in circulating immune complexes. That correlated with  intensification of the phagocytic activity. The level of IgM had a tendency to normalize.

Thus, owing to its varied positive effects on pregnant women ozonetherapy has proved to be an effective method of treatment and prophylaxis of threatened abortion.
