What is a mud tampon

Mud from the salt lake in Sovata is used for gynaecological treatments. The peat and mud act as a form of localised heat therapy, and are applied in the form of a sterile tampon that is introduced into the patient’s vagina by a skilled nurse. The tampon is left in place for 15-20 minutes. 

How a mud tampon helps

Not only is the treatment effective for inflammatory conditions and rehabilitation after gynaecological operations, but it is prescribed as a treatment for menstruation and menopause disorders. This procedure is often combined with a pelvic peat/mud pack at the same time so that the beneficial effects of peloid treatment from the inside and outside are enhanced. Both peloids are renowned for successfully treating both primary and secondary infertility.
