1. The prevalence of inflammatory diseases of the pelvic organs in women.
Morbidity. Pelvic inflammatory disease is one of the big problems in gynecology. In the medical lexicon, the prefix – it is a direct indication of inflammation and is added to the Latin name of the organ. Each separate diagnosis of inflammatory diseases requires its own approaches to treatment since there are purely medical features in both diagnosis and treatment.
The complexity of the therapeutic tactics in relation to this disease lies in several nuances:

3. Why herbal medicine has advantages over synthetic drugs?
The standard in the treatment of acute infection is the use of antibiotics and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory substances. However, in 90% of cases, acute inflammation becomes chronic without even looking at seemingly highly effective and clinically proven drugs.
Antibiotics lose their effectiveness due to the development of resistance of bacteria to their action. Moreover, they act indiscriminately on the whole body. Their necessity is outlined by an exceptionally acute period of the disease, but they can cause harm with constant and uncontrolled use.
Chronic inflammatory diseases of the pelvic organs can be cured only with the help of herbal medicine for several reasons:
1.Bacteria are not able to quickly develop resistance to plant antimicrobial substances (Reason: each plant has a unique range of biologically active substances with antibacterial action).
2.Only plants able to contain a different set of anti-inflammatory substances independent of otaslavice on which they grew.
3.The only way to prevent relapses of inflammatory diseases are plants with anti-inflammatory action. (Clarification: synthetic drugs are not used for prevention).
4.The only way to prevent complications of chronic inflammatory processes, such as adhesions and precancerous diseases is to take herbal medicines.
4. What herbs are used and why?
Before listing medicinal plants, we list the basic principles of the appointment of phytopreparations:
1.Treatment of both partners.
The effectiveness of treatment of a woman with an inflammatory disease depends on the health of her partner. Therefore, the key point is the joint reception of phytopreparations in a married couple. The range of herbs for men may not be the same as that which may be assigned to a woman.
2. Minimum duration of treatment.
The minimum course for evaluating the effectiveness of medicinal herbs is 2-3 months. Moreover, every 2 weeks it is advisable to rotate medicinal plants in collections and increase the concentration of dominant plants in prescriptions.
3. Mainly rectal intake of herbal remedies.
Microclysms and candles with herbal remedies for anatomical reasons are essential to improve the effectiveness of herbal medicine. In addition to them, plants with antimicrobial and anti-infectious properties in the composition of fees and in the form of powders are prescribed.
4. The principle of dose titration.
The purpose of herbal remedies begin with the lowest effective dose. After determining tolerability, the dose is increased to the optimal effective dose when clinical and/or biochemical efficacy is recorded. Further, it is possible to connect other herbs, guided by the principle of pharmacological compatibility.
Plants with pronounced anti-inflammatory properties.
For the treatment of inflammatory diseases of the female reproductive sphere, herbs with strong antibacterial, antiviral and anti-infectious properties are prescribed. The list of such plants could easily fit in a thick and weighty book, as such plants are incredibly many.

Where plants can affect the hormonal background, it is always necessary to take into account the phases of the monthly cycle and its peculiarity in a particular woman.
