Balneo physio gynecology in Bihor County

Introduction: The beneficial effects of balneotherapy on gynecological conditions are due to the physical-chemical properties of thermo-mineral waters, through external and internal applications. Objective: This study highlights the localities in Bihor County that have hydro- mineral resources with physio-chemical properties, aimed at therapeutic indications in the management of gynecological pathologies. Methods: A bibliographic study was carried out on the effect of balneotherapy in gynecological conditions, preceded by the identification, selection and centralization of the localities in Bihor County that have balneary resources valued in gynecological pathologies. Results: Out of the total of 81 localities with hydromineral resources found in Bihor County, the hydromineral resource is exploited for balneotherapeutic purposes only in six localities (Băile Felix, Băile 1 Mai, Băile Tinca, Sarcău, Marghita, Ștei), of which only four localities have resources hydrominerals with therapeutic indications aimed at gynecological conditions (Băile Felix, Băile 1 Mai, Marghita, Băile Tinca, Sarcău). Conclusions: The balneary treatment certainly has its own, primary, but also complementary role in the treatment of chronic gynecological diseases and is increasingly recommended. However, future studies would be necessary to refer to gynecological pathologies and the influence that the properties of thermal waters can have on them.
