Gynecologists in private practice, hospitals, and health resorts can offer hydrotherapy and physiotherapy as primary or supplementary treatments. Balneogynecology, a branch of true naturopathy, has become part of standard treatment. These treatments should mainly be applied as supplementary treatments, according to indication. As primary treatment they should only be applied in chronic diseases and acute muscle tension to relieve pain and affect the tissue positively.
