Methods Of Treatment

During the course of their lives, almost all women face pathological changes in the vulvovaginal area caused by various causes: dysplasia of connective tissue, excessive physical activity, childbirth, reduction of sex hormones, etc. Vulvovaginal symptoms have no significant impact on life expectancy and have a significant impact on the quality of life. In this regard, the modern possibilities of correction of these conditions, especially the minimally invasive ones, become especially important. The article discusses the methods of treatment and prophylaxis of age-associated pathological changes in the vulvovaginal area using a CO2-laser. Mechanisms of laser radiation influence on tissues are considered when using different modes. The advantages of microablative CO2-fraction laser photothermolysis in vaginal and vulva tissue rejuvenation programs are shown. The analysis of clinical studies on the use of lasers in the treatment of vulvovaginal diseases has been carried out, and tasks have been set for the development and implementation of highly effective and safe technologies in the practice of gynaecologists that affect the mucous membranes of the vagina and vulva, as well as a reliable assessment of their effectiveness.

Progressive increase in the proportion of elderly patients in the population of many countries actualizes the issues of preserving physical and mental health, working capacity and quality of life of retirees. As a part of preventive geriatric rehabilitation, ‘the Active Longevity’ program has been operating in many cities of Russia over the past three years, one of the aspects of the program is the involvement of elderly patients in active life, including an increase in physical activity. This study included 744 patients who attended face‑to‑face physical training sessions. According to the results of the survey, 41% of pensioners noted an increase of daily physical activity, 94% reported an improvement in health and mood, the level of total blood cholesterol decreased. Almost all patients, both with and without clinical and subclinical manifestations of anxiety and depression, reported a good and very good mood immediately after exercise. Increasing physical activity in elderly patients improves the quality of life and prolongs its duration, and is also an effective method of non‑drug treatment of anxiety‑depressive disorders.
