In the structure of infertility 50-60% is the tubal-peritoneal factor - the obstruction of the pipes due to inflammation. Another cause of infertility has often been surgery in cystic ovarian lesions, when young women were removed the entire ovary. Now less traumatic endoscopic operations are performed, which are much less complicated by the adhesive process.
Undoubtedly, the treatment of female infertility was and will remain the prerogative of high reproductive technologies involving the use of inducers of ovulation, endoscopic surgery, in vitro fertilization. But are these mutually exclusive methods so high technology and herbal preparations? Most likely, they can be allies in the treatment of certain forms of infertility.
Despite the success of assisted reproductive technology (restoration of patency of pipes, in vitro fertilization, etc.), in recent years there has been growing interest in traditional methods of traditional medicine used in the complex treatment of female infertility. These include herbal medicine, occupational therapy, acupuncture, massage and manual therapy. If 10-20 years ago, chemical preparations prevailed among drugs, today the number of herbal preparations used in obstetric-gynecological practice reaches 50%. Their value lies in the genetically fixed positive reaction of the human body to natural bioactive substances, a small number of side effects and the possibility of prolonged use. Used primarily drugs from plants that have antibacterial properties - sage, yarrow, eucalyptus, chamomile, St. John's wort, calendula, etc. Water extracts of these plants are taken inside, as well as in the form of irrigation, syringings and tampons.
One of the causes of female infertility is dysfunction of the ovaries. In the practice of a gynecologist, cases of anovulatory infertility often occur against the background of hypomenorrhea. This problem can be solved through the use of phytoestrogens. To plants containing in a high enough concentration these substances include: seeds of pomegranate, klopogon (tsimitsifuga), red clover, rhubarb, sage, snakehead, hops, sparrow, yellow egg, pulse-tilla, celandine, lumbago and soy.
Optimum treatment of infertility in this case is the method of cyclic receptions of phytospores. There is a stimulation of the first phase of the menstrual cycle with the help of herbs, which have an estrogen-like effect (like marsh swamp, hops, clover oregano, grass cocklebur). The doctor prescribes charges plus ovulation inductors from the 1st to the 14th day (sleep-grass, black-capped grass). Regulation of the second phase occurs with the help of herbs with gestagenic action. They are prescribed from the 15th to the 26th day of the menstrual cycle. Preference is given to the grass of St. John's wort, yarutke, aira, nettle roots, carnation field. The listed plants are used for dysmenorrhea in the form of monochais or in gatherings.
In cases of hypermenorrhea, a very good effect is given by an alcoholic tincture of raspberry leaves. These observations of phytotherapeutists deserve attention and careful study. In the treatment of chronic inflammatory processes, one should not forget about the use of plant immunomodulators - eleutherococcus, magnolia vine, zamanichi, levzei, aralia Manchurian, etc. They increase the body's defenses and potentiate the action of any antibacterial agents.
Female infertility can also occur against the background of increased secretion of estrogen, when the picture of endometriosis is formed. In the foreign literature recommend in the treatment of female infertility folk methods in the form of preparations from the vitex sacred. The authors of this article use calendula, celandine in combination with uterotonic (raising the tone of the uterus) means.
After abortion, a course of phytotherapy, including medicinal plants with antimicrobial effect and wound-healing carotenoid-containing plants: calendula, nettle, string, swine, and the like, should be carried out without fail.
Serious attention in the treatment of female infertility folk methods should be given to the state of the thyroid gland, as well as dysbiosis. Violation of the normal ratio of intestinal microflora leads to a deficiency of vitamins, minerals, opens the way for pathogenic microflora. In this case, it is advisable to combine the use of probiotics: bifidobacterin, lactobacterin with medicinal plants: sage, alder clusters, yarrow, erect ctenophore, snake mountaineer, etc.
Numerous observations of women suffering from hormonal infertility and concomitant hypothyroidism have shown that the use of herbs that improve the function of the thyroid gland (cocklebur, cocklebur, nettle, plantain, European zucchus, etc.), largely restored the reproductive function of women.
