Effectiveness of magnetic therapy/laser therapy/homeopathy combination in the treatment of uterine myoma

Abstract

Background: uterine fibroma is a health problem that affects women in reproductive age. Elective treatments based on surgery and uterine arterial embolization, although successful, are invasive and risky.Objective: to assess the effects of a combined treatment with magnetic therapy, laser therapy and homeopathy in women with uterine myoma referred to the department of natural and traditional medicine at “Rafael Izquierdo” Teaching Polyclinic from July 2015 to March 2016.Methods: an intervention study was carried out with 25 women of the 20 to 49 age group with a diagnosis of uterine myoma, in the place and during the period herein mentioned. Patients were distributed at random into two groups. The first group received a combined therapy, while the second group received hormonal treatment (medroxiprogesterone). Follow-up was conducted clinically and by ultrasound, at 3 and 6 months after the end of the treatment.Results: at 6 months of treatment, the study group reduced the tumor size in 21,34 mm3, more than in the control group; the latter, at 3 months, reduced the tumor intensively in 7,7 %, while 92,3 % was moderate. At 6 months, the patients with intense reduction increased to 30,8 %. In the study group only 16,7 % reached the intense reduction of the tumor. Concerning the reduction of the uterus size there were no remarkable differences between the two groups. Clinical progress was higher in the control group.Conclusions: Hormonal therapy showed better clinical and ultrasonographic results; both treatments were harmless.
