Use of low-frequency magnetic field in the complex rehabilitation of puerperas after cesarean section

The efficiency of complex prevention of postcesarean section pyoseptic complications, by using a low-frequency pulsed magnetic field (PMF), was studied in 55 puerperas, including 30 patients who underwent PMF and 25 who had the routine preventive therapy. The use of PMF on the first day after cesarean section was established to considerably increase the rates of involution of the postpartum uterus with the slit cavity forming in 86.7% of the patients by puerperal days 7-8. Magnetotherapy reduced the number of complications and the incidence of endometritis by 3 and 2.4 times, respectively. Pulsed magnetotherapy used in the package of rehabilitative measures is effective in restoring uterine evacuatory function after cesarean section, has a marked spasmolytic effect on uterine circular muscles, by alleviating the puerperium in patients at risk for infectious complications.
