Objective/Purpose: The purpose of this work was the assessment of the clinical efficacy
and safety of Bioapigyn® vaginal ointment for pelvic muscle tonus compared to
pelvic floor muscle training in alleviating the symptoms of stress, urge and
mixed urinary incontinence and vulvo-vaginal disorders in child-bearing and
menopausal & postmenopausal women. Materials
and Methods: The experimental group consisted of 66 women was treated 28
days with Bioapigyn® ointment for pelvic muscle tonus (2.5 mL/day). The control
group also consisted of 66 participants
was subjected to pelvic floor muscle training during 28 days (five times a
day). ICIQ-UI SF score, the residual urine volume, perineometry, the total
score of vulvo-vaginal symptoms and vaginal pH were determined before and after
the treatment or training. Results:
Following the treatment with Bioapigyn® ointment ICIQ-UI-SF score decreased
54.9%, perineometry parameters increased between
31.5 and 34.3%,
residual urine decreased
for 76.9% and vaginal
pH for 14.2%. All the symptoms of
vulvo-vaginal disorders disappeared completely in all participants. The control
group showed no changes in vaginal pH or the improvement concerning the
vulvo-vaginal complaints. ICIQ- UI-SF score decreased for 4.3%, residual urine
volume for 9.1% while perineometry parameters increased between 4.3 and 8.3%. Conclusion/Discussion: Bioapigyn®
vaginal ointment for pelvic muscle tonus alleviate the symptoms of incontinence
by tightening and firming of the smooth muscles of the pelvic floor thanks to
the ingredients with smooth muscles contraction/relaxation and astringent
properties. Low pH, high osmolarity, viscosity, greasiness and coating effect
of the ointment eradicated vulvo-vaginal complaints.
