The aim of the work was to choose the optimal concentration of chlorhexidine bigluconate solution, effectively destroying the microflora that inhabited a woman's vagina, in the shortest time preventively cleansing it to the natural degree of purity (at least to grade II). Non-pregnant premenopausal women treated at the 2nd OB/GYN clinic of Kazan HIDUV for infertility, genital infantilism, ovarian sclerocystosis, etc. were under observation. Four groups of women were isolated and subjected to sanation with appropriate chlorhexidine bigluconate solutions in the following concentrations: 1, 2, 3 и 4%.
