The content of the article
Adhesions are cell growths. Often they are compared with threads, since they connect organs and tissues to each other, for example, the intestine, uterus and the surface of the peritoneum, the rectum and the cervix. In these "threads" pass vessels, nerves. Even the physiological movement of organs causes tension of adhesions and pain. In addition, the adhesion process can "close" the lumen of the fallopian tubes and cause infertility. Such filaments can form in any part of the genitals - the uterine cavity, cervical canal, and vagina.
Composition and principle of action
“Longidase” refers to enzyme preparations and contains bovgyaluronidase, an “improved” version of the natural human enzyme. Candles for rectal and vaginal use are most popular, but the drug is also available in ampoules for intramuscular and subcutaneous administration. The main properties of the drug are as follows:
- anti-inflammatory;
- antioxidant;
- immunomodulatory;
- enzymatic.
Best of all, Longidaza acts as a prevention of adhesions. In this case, its antifibrotic properties are due to the following:
- reduces the number of inflammatory mediators in the focus - they damage tissues and contribute to the further formation of adhesions in them;
- resistant to high temperatures - the usual enzyme hyaluronidase at 37 ° C ceases to work, which is why most often adhesions are the consequences of complicated healing, with temperature and suppuration;
- inactivates collagen stimulants - it is from it that the commissures “build”;
- acts on glycosaminoglycans - this is a component of already formed “threads”, destroying the bonds between glycosaminoglycans, hyaluronidase reduces the tension of adhesions, relieves swelling, increases the mobility of previously fixed parts of organs.

Reviews: “Put 10 injections. Since 2007, spikes have not bothered ”
Hello! I am new to the site. My gynecologist prescribed 10 injections of longidase plus candles with polyoxidonium due to the fact that a small polyp (endometrium, 3 mm) was found on my ultrasound. I did some injections, a little painful. The next cycle came - no one polyp and no suspicion was found. Longidaza also prevents tissues from growing and soothes inflammation very well, but I think it’s unlikely to “cure” adhesions, it is more likely to be an adjuvant or since adhesions tend to grow and come back — longidaza prevents this. Although now (already a year has passed after that) I again have a suspicion of a polyp, though it is already larger. Probably again they will propose to pierce the longidase ....

I am already completing a course of 10 injections, given 1 injection every 5 days, against the background of injections, G. took another Wobenzym + physiotherapy as indicated by the injections, the result is now visible, rather noticeable, the tension on examination of G. disappeared, it smears less after M. Diagnosis of endometriosis. As for the fact that these injections are more painful, this garbage, girls, sulphurous magnesia are many times “more pleasant”. From the unpleasant sensations there was a slight redness of the buttocks and itching. And it is better to buy injections in packages of 5 pcs., So that later on the body perceives the drug.

Hi. I had a course of Longidaza in the spring 10 times every 5 days. Assigned to treat hr. endometritis. Well, in general, I did not have a pronounced inflammation. Just M were very painful and very plentiful. Therefore, the treatment was without antibiotics. Among other things, I was prescribed physiotherapy (first a magnetic laser, then an ultrasound), immunomodulating candles and homeopathic injections for building up the endometrium. About Longidaza read only the good. Well, if in fact. I can’t say that I see a specific result. M remained as plentiful, after them it still smears for a long time. BT in the first phase is a bit high. Before treatment, she was even better. Therefore…..
