Methods. From 100 women suffered from a chronic adnexitis 50 (group 1) were treated by intravaginal infrared laser irradiation, gestagenes and antioxidantes. The group 2 (50 women) was treated with antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs. A semiconductor low intensive laser «LATON-100» (I = 760 - 820 nM) have been used. An exposure was 3-5 minutes with energy of 100 mW. The course consisted of 8 - 10 sessions.

Results. Reduction of a pain syndrome was observed in 48 patients of the group 1 and in 26 of the group 2 (p<0.001); correction of the menstrual cycle in 38 and 22 correspondingly (p<0.01); normalization of leukocyte formula in 43 and 36 (p<0.1). Dysbacteriosis was revealed in 17 women treated by antibiotics and not in any one of the group 1. After the treatment has been completed 15 women of the 1-st group and 2 of the 2-nd became pregnant (p< 0.01).

Conclusion. Infrared laser irradiation combined with antioxidants and gestagenes seems to be more effective method of treatment of a chronic adnexitis than the traditional one. This method should be more widely used for outpatients.
