Using magnetic therapy with the seta-tm device to stimulate muscle contractility

Postpartum subinvolution of the uterus is one of the causes of hypotonic uterine bleeding and the development of purulent-septic complications.

The aim of the study was to develop a method for the preventive treatment of hemorrhagic complications in women in labor using electromagnetic stimulation.

Materials and Methods. The control group included 20 healthy women in labor, with an average age of 25.1 ± 1.7. Women in the study group received a course of Seta-TM in a stimulating mode from the first day after childbirth for 3–5 days of inpatient treatment daily. Women in the comparison group received only oxytocin during labor at a dose of 1 ml (5 IU) according to the clinical protocol. The effectiveness of preventive treatment was assessed based on an analysis of the women’s general condition, bimanual examination, daily assessment of uterine height and lochia quality, peripheral blood counts on the second day after delivery, and ultrasound biometry of the pelvic organs on the third and fourth days. Patients were monitored for 42 days postpartum.

Results. The study revealed that combination therapy using Seta-TM in a stimulating mode, aimed at increasing myometrial contractility, resulted in a significant reduction in uterine cavity size on the third and fourth days after delivery. The incidence of complicated postpartum periods, including hemorrhagic complications, was also reduced compared to the group of patients not receiving electromagnetic stimulation.
