Abstract
A clinical trial was carried out to determine the efficacy of predelivery homœopathic and ‘traditional’ prophylaxis of uterine inertia and post partum haemorrhage. Under our observation, there were 206 pregnant women characterized by high risk of uterine contractile function disturbances. The 1st group of pregnant women (n=102) received only homœopathy. The 2nd group (n=104) received conventional medical preparations including oestrogenic hormones. We studied a use of homœopathic drug complex possessing ‘relatively narrow range of influence’.Clinical examination, foetal cardiomonitoring and ultrasound scanning were carried out in each case. The normal methods were used to treat uterine inertia, foetal distress and post partum haemorrhage.In our opinion homœopathy can be an effective method for prophylaxis of disturbances of uterine contractile function in delivery and at the postnatal stage for pregnant women at high risk of complications.Keywords
