Delayed results of combined conservative treatment of uterine myoma

We observed 157 women of reproductive age allocated to three groups. Patients of the study groups (groups 1 and 2) were given magnetotherapy and dietotherapy respectively in addition to conventional treatment. Control patients (group 3) received traditional treatment alone. The average size of myoma nodes in patients of group 1 decreased within 3 months after the initiation of the study and tended to decrease further during the next 6 months (overall by 16.7%; p < 0.05). No significant reduction of the size of myoma nodes was documented in the two remaining groups. None of the patients in group 1 exhibited the growth of myoma during the 12 month-long follow-up period in contrast to those in two other groups (6.6% of whom had to undergo resection of fast-growing supravaginal uterine fibroids).
