MOTHER THANKS TO THE SPA
Bromine and iodine-salt water heals some fertility-related illnesses.
At the Spa to be mother. It might seem astonishing but there is nothing incredible about it. Actually some people do not know that bromine and iodine-salt thermal water helps to heal some diseases related to the gynaecological field that might damage women's fertility index.
Professor Gino Del Boca, gynaecologist and specialist in medical hydrology and Salsomaggiore Spa consultant says: “ These thermal waters represent an useful complement to pharmacological treatments after an antibiotic or antifungal therapy. Thermal therapies are useful to prevent relapses and to heal possible residual inflammations after pharmacological treatment. Some inflammations tend to become chronic and, among these, the most dangerous are the so-called adnexitis, which can be divided into two classes: slapingitis (inflammations of the tubes) and ovaritis (of the ovaries).” The most effective waters are the hypertonic bromine and iodine-salt water (which have an high concentration of mineral salts). These waters contain a mix of anti-inflammatory substances such as iodine, bromine, magnesium and sodium chloride that play a delicate but at the same time efficient antiphlogistic action.
Crenotherapy is based on vaginal irrigations with disposable sterile cannulas that deeply wash the genital tract, preceded by hypertonic thermal baths. During these baths you will plunge in a tub with constant water temperature (37° C) for the whole duration of the
treatment. Other complementary therapies are the vaginal aerosol and the pelvic mud.
Thermal water action is based on its strong anti-inflammatory effect due to its complex mineralization. Moreover, salts dissolved in bromine and iodine salts waters contribute to keep active the hypothalamic-hypophyseal-gonadal axis which is the centre that regulates ovarian activity.
For this reason bromine and iodine salts waters are also useful for women during their climacteric, the delicate phase before the menopause in which there are a lot of hormonal changes, They improve the vaginal trophism, the elasticity of the mucosa, and reduce all the problems related to this phase of the life (hot flushes, palpitations and changes in humour).
Thermal baths and vaginal irrigations can be paid by Italian National Health Service for 12-day cycles. If a woman needs them, she can ask her family doctor for a prescription once a year. When she arrives at the spa she will pay a reduced fare according to the law.
Vaginal Irrigations
They can be used for chronic and subacute inflammations of the female reproductive system buy they are also useful for the treatment of uterine fibromyomata, hormonal imbalances, micropolycystics ovaries, oligomenorrhea. Dysmenorrhea, infertility and climacteric .
Vaginal aerosol
It is a support therapy to thermal bath and, in some cases, to vaginal irrigations. In this therapy thermal water is micronised and nebulised in the female reproductive system. This method guarantees a better absorption at the mucosa level than irrigations.
