Date of commencement of the patent: 1994.11.03

The invention relates to medicine, viz., Gynecology and can be used to interrupt pregnancy early. The essence of the method consists in the action of needles on the corporal points of general, segmental and local action and on the outside points of docking with additional influence on them by an electric current with a constant and changing polarity in the inhibition and excitation modes, and acupuncture is performed in the auricular pairs of points AT: 28, 55, 58.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The invention relates to medicine and can be used to interrupt early pregnancy.

A method of interrupting early pregnancy is known - surgical abortion. The analysis of the consequences showed that when the pregnancy is 7-8 weeks, artificial abortion causes fewer complications than with a period of 5-6 weeks [1].

The disadvantages of this method include all those that are inherent in invasive procedures: a possible trauma to the woman's body, surgical and / or hormonal.

There is a known method of abortion with the help of vacuum aspiration, which is now called "regulation of menstruation," "mini-abortion", "mini-aspiration" [2].

Abortion by vacuum aspiration in the early period is an easily feasible operation. The patients feel well during the interruption of pregnancy and after quite satisfactory. There is no need for hospitalization.

However, the drawbacks of this method include the same ones that are inherent in invasive procedures.

There is a known method of aborting pregnancy in the first trimester with the help of prostaglandin analogues [3].

The advantage of using prostaglandins in comparison with surgical abortion is the possibility to avoid mechanical trauma and the development of ischemic-cervical insufficiency, which in subsequent pregnancies can contribute to the formation of habitual miscarriage.

The use of vaginal suppositories of certain types of prostaglandins is effective enough to interrupt pregnancy, but the general effect of prostaglandins on physiological functions has not been sufficiently studied to date. Thus, both surgical and medicamentous methods of abortion do not exclude the trauma of a woman's body, surgical and / or hormonal.

In this connection, the ways of abortion due to the organism's own reserves are presented, without traumatic intrusion into the fulfillment of physiological functions. Such opportunities represent a method of abortion by the method of acupuncture, which has no side effects and is not capable of leading to trauma to the body.

So far, only single unapproved attempts to use acupuncture for abortion have been known [4].

This method is the closest, but it was inevitably doomed to contradictory results, since it assumes no objective unification of the gestational age at the time of the procedure.

Classical acupuncture did not allow abortion for religious reasons, so acupuncture for abortion is the realization of the needs of Western medicine using this ancient Eastern method.

The essence of the proposed method is that abortion of early pregnancy is carried out by acupuncture in corporal pairs E 36 and RP 6, further acupuncture is performed in the corporal pair points R 11, Gi 4, Gi 11, P 7, VB 34, V 60 And also unpaired VC 2, VC 3, VC 4 with additional influence on them by an electric current with a constant and changing polarity in the braking and excitation modes, and acupuncture is performed in the auricular pairs of points AT 22, AT 23, AT 28 , AT 55, AT 58.

The difference in the proposed method of abortion is not only that acupuncture is carried out at additional relatively known points, but also in the direction and depth of the injection of needles: at the right angle to the surface of the skin, needles 5-7 Depending on the thickness of the subcutaneous fat at the points VC 4 and VC 3, and at the points VC 2 and paired R 11 needles of size 8-10 are introduced before entering the zone of occurrence of the pre-bubble tissue - deep, at an angle of 30-40 o to the surface of the skin in the direction To each other, until the appearance of secondary sensations.

In the remaining points, the needles are inserted according to the usual method, until the sensations are indicated, except for the points VB 34, V 60 and docs having the features of administration. At the points VB 34, the size needles 5-7 are introduced at an angle in the direction of the point E 36 until a secondary sensation is introduced. At points V60, the needles are inserted in the direction of the R3 (5) point of the tai-si until a repeated sensation is provided on the inner side of the tibia. At the dock points, 2-3-gauge needles are inserted until the intended sensations are obtained and are stimulated to different degrees of ascending irradiation along the shin.

Thus, in addition to the classical effects on the point (before the indicated sensations are introduced), deep reflexes and reflexes with aponeurosis (VC 2 points, paired R 11), whose mechanisms Finally is not yet clear.

To conduct electrical stimulation of points, serial devices "Elita-4" and "Diaton" are used. To the needle at the point VC 3, in the author's modification, a passive electrode combined for three devices is connected, the effect on the other points is differentiated:

- swing (apparatus "Elite-4") - pairs points Gi 4, Ci 11, VB 34 and docking;

- excitation (apparatus "Diaton") - points VC 3, VC 2 and paired points R 11;

- braking (the apparatus "Diaton") - in two stages: first the pair points P 7 and V 60, then the pair points E 36 and RP 6.

Ears permanent button needles on both sides are put without additional influence in the process of corporal acupuncture: at points AT 22, AT 23 and AT 28 - with a delay of menstruation to 3 days; In addition to the points AT 55 and AT 58 - with a longer delay. Needles are left for a period until the onset of menstruation and another 2-3 days against its background.

During the procedure, the patient develops certain feelings in the lower abdomen, which serve as a guide for individualizing the force of influence, continuing or completing the session. At first, the waves come with a sense of heaviness, as if something heavy was placed on the bottom of the stomach, gradually stabilizing locally in the center. Only after the adjustment of the brake electrodes from the points P 7 and V 60 to E 36 and RP 6, the sensations of gravity diverge sideways fanwise all over the abdomen, there are original sensations of filling, filling, filling, at the height of which there appear the usual pre-menstrual sensations . At the end of the increase in sensations in the lower abdomen, the procedure ends.

The proposed mechanism of action: the reconstruction of the premenstrual regress of the yellow body of the ovary with the help of its vegetative block and the reaction of rejection of the mucosa (decidua) together with the fetal egg.

The most difficult to predict group are non-pregnant and in the presence of uterine fibroids. In previously pregnant women, especially those who gave birth, menstruation comes or does not come in greater dependence on the gestational age. If the pregnancy has reached or exceeds the three-week period, then the menstruation does not come, the pregnancy progresses, and it often happens that the fetus freezes, slows down for some time in its development so that in the bimanual examination by the gynecologist the uterus is increased in proportion to the actual time, and with ultrasound examination The size of the fetal egg does not correspond to gestational age, recalling an undeveloped pregnancy. However, the fetal does not die, and the development of the fetal egg after some time comes in accordance with the norm. The subsequent course of pregnancy and childbirth, if a woman leaves pregnancy, remains without consequences.

If the period allows, usually menstruation begins within the first three days, sometimes within the next hours after the procedure. In some cases, a delayed response is noted (on the 4th, 5th, 10th day after the procedure), and in this case the procedure is repeated three days after the initial one. Most often, the need for a repeat procedure arises in connection with the phase of the lunar cycle, under the new moon.

Some rare cases of the effectiveness of acupuncture for a period that clearly exceeds the three-week pregnancy, in the presence of gestosis, probably only indicate the initial hormonal predisposition of the woman's organism to miscarriage.

Others, except those peculiar to the very method of acupuncture, complications are not revealed. In some cases, women suffering from premenstrual syndrome, noted subjective deterioration of well-being during the new moon, which, however, may be out of touch with acupuncture.

No discharge of uterine bleeding was more abundant than in normal menstruation. There were no cases of progressive pregnancy, if after the acupuncture the menstruation passed like menstruation. There were rare cases of hemorrhaging instead of menstruation after acupuncture, when pregnancy progressed, but the nature of discharge (light blood) does not allow them to be confused with menstruation.

Documentary evidence of the effectiveness of the proposed method of aborting pregnancy can serve as registration cards of patients.
