[The role of the combined balneotherapeutic treatment as the 'add-back therapy' against the background of the anti-hormonal effects of the agonists of gonadotropin-releasing hormone in the women suffering from endometriosis genitalis externa].

Background: The use of agonists of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) for the rehabilitation treatment of the patients presenting with endometriosis genitalis externa is known to significantly enhance the risk of development of hypoestrogenism. The so-called 'add-back-therapy' is carried out as a preventive measure to eliminate hypoestrogenism caused by the intake of GnRH agonists without detriment to the effectiveness of anti-hormonal therapy.

Aim: The objective of the present study was to estimate the effectiveness of the new method ('add-back hormone replacement therapy') in comparison with anti-hormonal therapy with the use of GRH agonists at the stage of the early postoperative medical rehabilitation based on the drinking of mineral waters (MW) and radon therapy (RT) in the patients who had undergone the laparoscopic interventions for the treatment of endometrioid heterotopies of the ovaries (1-3 months post-operatively).

[The spa and health resort-based treatment of metabolic syndrome with the application of the therapeutic courses of different duration: the evaluation according long-term results].

Aim: The objective of the present study was to estimate the effectiveness of the new therapeutic modalities for the spa and health resort-based treatment of metabolic syndrome based on the results of the long-term follow-up observations.

Material And Methods: A total of 100 patients presenting with metabolic syndrome were recruited for the participation in the study. All of them underwent a shortened course of mineral water intake in the combination with the use of the herbal medicinal products.
