The aim of the study – to increase the effectiveness of treatment of perimenopausal women with urogenital disorders by studying the effect of local application of liquid vaginal suppositories "Vaginal-panten" (Angie).
Materials and Methods. We examined 176 women with urogenital disorders in perimenopausal period, whose average age was (52.2±4.8) years. In group I – 86 (48.8 %) patients received traditional treatment. Group II included 90 (51.1 %) patients who, in order to eliminate the symptoms of bacterial vaginosis due to individual intolerance to local HRT, were prescribed “Vaginal-Panten” liquid suppositories intravaginally to restore the vaginal microbiota.
Results and Discussion. As a result of the treatment, there was a decrease in vaginal dryness and itching in 87.7 % of cases, no vaginal burning sensation in 74.4 % of cases, normalization of the clinical analysis of urine samples, a significant decrease in nocturia by 3 times, a positive cough test by 2 times and pollakiuria by 2.5 times (p˂0.05).
Conclusion. Vaginal suppositories “Vaginal-Panten” can be successfully used in the treatment of urogenital disorders in perimenopause, which is especially important for women with contraindications to the use of synthetic estrogen-containing drugs.
