[Psycho-electroregulation in conservative treatment of patients with uterine myoma]. / Psikhoélektroreguliatsiia v konservativnoi terapii bol'nykh miomoi matki.

Basing on the concept of the uterine myoma presenting as a psychosomatic process that manifests in ischemic disease of the uterus, the author has tried psychoelectrostimulation in 76 patients with interstitial and subserous interstitial myomas as a method of psychotherapy and electrotranquilization. Indications for such treatment are the presence of psychoemotional stress syndrome (high anxiety level, pain and hemorrhagic syndromes, dysuria) and a rapid growth of the tumor. The reference group consisted of 73 patients with the same myoma forms, treated by hormonal therapy. Psychoelectroregulation has exerted a regulating effect on the central nervous, cardiovascular, endocrine and reproductive systems, it eliminated or alleviated the neurotic symptoms, and slowed down or arrested the tumor growth.
