The paper presents a systems analysis of the data available in the current literature on the use of ozone therapy in obstetric and gynecological practice and its benefits. It considers data on the possibilities of using medical ozone in gynecology, obstetrics, and other fields of medicine, as well as the potential risks and benefits associated with ozone therapy. The basic mechanisms of action of medical ozone and the methods and procedures for its use in practice are described. Medical ozone has shown itself to good advantage in treating gynecological and other diseases, especially when it is used as part of combination therapy. The potential risks associated with the toxicity of ozone should be taken into account in determining its dosages and administration methods. It is necessary to continue investigations of the application of ozone therapy in medical practice and to elaborate well-defined algorithms for its use.
