ABSTRACT
A therapeutic intervention was carried out in 39 workers with pelvic inflammation,
diagnosed and treated for 5 months, belonging to the health area from "La Caoba" of San
Luís municipality, in Santiago de Cuba, from January to May, 2012, with the aim of
comparing the cost of drug treatment with that of the acupunctural treatment. In the
series it was obtained that 51.3% of the female with medication improved in 2 weeks
and 23.1% required more than 28 days of treatment, while 90.0% of those who received
acupuncture recovered in 3 weeks. This alternative therapy constituted a saving for the
patients, as they decreased their economic losses due to expenses in medications and to
medical certificates; besides reducing the hospital stay and its cost. From the social
point of view it was achieved that the affected workers incorporate to their jobs and
domestic work even earlier.
