Abstract

Surgical treatment in gynecological practice is characterized by a relatively high incidence of postoperative complications, including pain, inflammation, infections, adhesions, etc. Systemic oral enzyme therapy can contribute to the prevention of complications and their effective relief. The drug Flogenzym has the necessary anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antiplatelet effects due to the complex action of its components, successfully prevents and reduces the intensity of possible negative consequences of surgical treatment.
