Abstract:
1. A method of treating gynecological conditions in a body of a mammal, comprising: stimulating tissue at a first stimulation energy dose to induce a production of at least one gynecologic hormone, the first stimulation energy dose having at least one frequency, at least one pulse width, at least one duty cycle and at least one intensity; measuring a concentration of the at least one gynecologic hormone in the body of the mammal; comparing the measured concentration of the at least one gynecologic hormone against a desired reference concentration; adjusting the first stimulation energy dose according to any measured difference in concentration between the desired reference concentration and the measured concentration; and stimulating tissue at an adjusted stimulation energy dose having at least one frequency, at least one pulse width, at least one duty cycle and at least one intensity, wherein the stimulating is performed by a tissue stimulation device comprising a memory unit with machine readable information representing a desired hormone level pattern and wherein comparing the measured concentration against the desired reference concentration comprises comparing the measured concentration against the desired hormone level pattern; and wherein the desired hormone level pattern comprises a pre-menopausal hormone level pattern for a human female.
