Ozone therapy

Author:  //  Category: Cosmetology

Ozone therapy is a therapeutic method, which finds in recent years increasingly used in clinical practice. Ozone has a large variety of medicinal effects. For example, we know that it has antibacterial, antiviral, anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects, enhances mikrogemodinamiku, facilitates correction of disorders of lipid peroxidation and increases the activity of antioxidant defense system. All this made it possible to use this method in the treatment of a number of diseases.

Application of ozone therapy:

  • Cosmetology: acne, local lipodystrophy, alopecia, Facial Rejuvenation, and cellulite treatments;
  • Surgery: abscesses, peritonitis, bedsores, burns, scars, thrombophlebitis, trophic ulcers, chronic osteomyelitis, rheumatism, arthritis, arthrosis;
  • cardiac surgery: ischemic heart disease;
  • gastroenterology: chronic gastritis, peptic ulcer and 12 duodenal ulcers, colitis, hepatitis, cirrhosis of the liver;
  • metabolic disease: diabetes mellitus;
  • allergies;
  • respiratory diseases;
  • hypertension;
  • eye disease: optic atrophy, atrophy of the retina, cornea injury;
  • infectious diseases and viral diseases;
  • disease, transmitted mainly through sex;
  • Urology: pyelonephritis, cystitis, urethritis, prostatitis;
  • Dermatology: furunculosis, pyoderma, herpes, scleroderma, psoriasis, eczema, fungal lesions, dermatitis;
  • Gynecology: inflammation, toxicosis, infertility, anemia of pregnant women;
  • neuropathy: abnormalities of cerebral blood circulation, migraine;
  • Dentistry: periodontitis, pulpitis, stomatitis.
  • Contraindications

    Ozone therapy is contraindicated in the following diseases: acute pancreatitis, myocardial infarction, alcohol intoxication, hyperthyroidism, hypotension, internal bleeding (obligatory medical consultation).

    Currently, more and more insistently an interest in non-medicated treatments that can replace or significantly limit the need for drugs and thus affect various aspects of the pathological process, contribute to impaired regulation of homeostasis, improvement of the functional state of various organs and systems, enhancing the protective forces organism. One such method is the use of ozone treatment, receiving widespread in our country and abroad.

    The broad possibilities of using ozone for treatment and prevention of its high clinical efficacy, good tolerance by patients, the relative cheapness of the method, and therefore significantly cheaper – all these contribute to the fact that ozone therapy in an isolated form or combined with other medical factors must be widely used.

    New ozone, as antiseptic was tested A. Wolff in 1915 during the First World War. In subsequent years gradually accumulate information about the successful use of ozone in the treatment of various diseases.

    Low concentrations of ozone contribute epithelialization and healing.

    In the treatment of colitis, rectal, fistulas, and several other diseases of intestines used rectal ozone-oxygen gas mixture. Ozone dissolved in distilled water, has been successfully used for the rehabilitation of various body cavities.

    In recent decades, came to the fore the methods associated with parenteral (intravenous, intramuscular, intraarticular, subcutaneous) administration of therapeutic doses of ozone. For intravenous use ozone, dissolved in saline or in the patient’s blood.

    Therapeutic doses of ozone introduced parenterally, significantly strengthens and improves the microcirculation of trophic processes in organs and tissues, affect the rheological properties of blood, have a pronounced immunomodulating effect contributes to the upsurge in detoxification of the body’s defense.

    The variety of mechanisms of therapeutic action of ozone identified and breadth of its clinical application.

    Vacuum massage

    Author:  //  Category: Cosmetology

    Vacuum massage - a universal means of rejuvenation, purification, mobilization of internal reserves of the organism. Also called the Cup massage, or more precisely – the gradient of the vacuum therapy.

    It has high efficiency and specific advantages over the more well-known and common procedures – in depth study of the soft tissues, duration of exposure, expressed detoxification of the body, training the muscles and the normalization of microcirculatory blood flow. Already Avicenna said that the need to clean the affected organ with cans.

    The method is widely distributed in the East – in China, Japan and Korea.

    Impact of vacuum cans leads to a temporary reddening of the skin (hyperemia), and then formed Punctulata hemorrhage (ekstravazaty or petechiae). They dissipate within 3-5 days.Therefore, the mechanism of action is similar to the cans, which produces autohaemotherapy – treatment with the patient’s own blood.

    Experts say that with skilful application of vacuum-massage can replace acupuncture, point, classical, segmental massage, physiotherapy and drug therapy together.

    During the procedure, due to pressure changes created unprecedented conditions for the dosage increase of superficial and deep vessels. There is a kind of vascular gymnastics, that is, alternating expansion and contraction of blood and lymph vessels. Accelerating microcirculation of blood, lymph and interstitial fluid in the skin, underlying muscle-fascial structures, ligaments, tendons and reflexively related bodies. Decongest, derived toxic products of metabolism, normalized regulatory and metabolic processes are activated and function of organs.Especially stimulated nerve endings and capillaries and larger vessels, and after such a severe exposure, are included in the work of those capillaries that had for some time "inactive".

    In the brain dramatically increases the speed of blood circulation. Being intensified general metabolism in the body. With the secret of the sweat glands begin to actively allocated to products of metabolism that contributes to the rapid removal from the body of toxic substances.

    Indications:

  • pathology of the locomotor system: osteochondrosis, back pain, arthritis, scoliosis;
  • neurological disorders and pathology of the vascular system: neuritis and neuralgia, headaches and insomnia, neurosis, depression, chronic fatigue syndrome, psycho-emotional stress, endarteritis, cerebral blood flow;
  • internal diseases: chronic bronchitis and pneumonia, bronchial asthma, vegetative dystonia, hypertension, peptic ulcer and 12 duodenal ulcer;
  • urology, gynecology: impotence, enuresis, ischuria, stagnant-inflammatory processes of urogenital sphere;
  • Dermatology: neurodermatitis, urticaria, chronic furunculosis, dermatitis
  • Cosmetology: premature withering of the skin, cellulite, premature aging.
  • Contraindications: tumors, acute infections, seizures, decompensated diseases of the cardiovascular system, thrombophlebitis, abscesses and fungal skin lesions, the second half of pregnancy.

    Usually course vacuum massage consists of 7.11 procedures with an interval of 1-3 days. If you have a goal of getting rid of any specific diseases, the pattern of course is made individually.If necessary, procedures can be repeated a month.

    Oseltamivir is recommended for up to 4 sessions per month or up to 4 courses per year.

    At a reception at gynecologist

    Author:  //  Category: Gynecology, Reproduction

    It’s no secret that many women, getting ready for the gynecologist, feel a sense of uncertainty or even fear. For them, stress, because it is a very delicate matter. Some women, because of shyness shy even to talk to your doctor about your problems, but there still has to undergo examination.

    The situation is compounded by the fact that the patient does not know or understand what those needs or other research, and doctors once, explain, reassure them, "decrypt" incomprehensible and frightening medical terms. 



    So, you came to see the gynecologist. The doctor first will talk to you, hear complaints, ask questions that may seem irrelevant, even outrageous, but these "insignificant" trifles, often help the clinician in diagnosis, since many diseases are linked to conditions of life, work, migrated stress, etc. At the reception at the gynecologist is not so shameful. Everything that you tell your doctor to remain in the walls of the cabinet. The data obtained during a conversation, allow the doctor to determine the direction of research, to choose methods of diagnosis. Therefore we must candidly answer the questions, because the success of the mutual cooperation. 



    After the conversation, usually requires examination. Somatotype, the nature of fatty deposits, the distribution and amount of hair on the body, especially the exterior of a doctor can tell a lot about the problems of the patient. Example of hormonal changes, chronic diseases. This examination is conducted, usually not noticeable to the patient at a time when a woman enters the room, while preparing for the study. 



    Do not be surprised if the gynecologist ask to show breasts. They are part of the reproductive system and its diseases are the responsibility of not only the doctor mammologist, but also a gynecologist. Study of breast allows the diagnosis of mastitis, suspected cancer, and even determine the cause of infertility. 



    Survey on Gynecological chair doctor begins with inspection of the external genitalia. Next comes the examination in the mirror. Special tools called mirrors, allows to view the wall of the vagina and cervix. If this reveals any deviation from the norm, there is a need to take fluids genital tract in the study. The easiest and most affordable method, it is used in any women’s clinic and the clinic is a smear on the flora. Special spoons take the discharge from the canal of the cervix, vagina and urethra and cause the glass. Laboratory doctor examines the material under a microscope. Using this method can detect the presence of an inflammatory process (it will measure the number of white blood cells), the state of the epithelium (mucosa), target organ, to identify certain types of infection (fungal, candidiasis, gonorrhea, trichomoniasis, bacterial vaginosis). In some cases, these microscopic smears are not sufficient for diagnosis and therapy, then resorted to the method of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) or immuno-enzyme analysis (ELISA). The capture of material for study by PCR by using miniershika, which is injected into the cervical canal, with the epithelial cells and bacteria contained therein remain on its bristles. The method consists in finding the genetic material of the causative agent of an infectious process. The reliability of PCR is 99%. These methods (PCR, ELISA) used for the diagnosis of specific infections such as chlamydia, mycoplasmosis, ureaplasmosis, gardnerellez, papillomatosis, cytomegalovirus and herpes infections. 



    Sometimes, often in the identification of viral infection, is required to determine in what form – acute or chronic – disease occurs in the patient. Then determine the blood titer (level) of antibodies to the infection (by ELISA). ELISA method is based on the interaction of antibodies and antigens. Antibodies – a substance produced by the body for protection against pathogenic factors (eg, microbes). Antigens – it ourselves microbes. As antibody, as well as to any class of antibodies detected, can judge the limitations of the process. 



    In protracted and repetitive processes doctor may prescribe sowing on the flora and sensitivity to antibiotics. The material from the vagina or cervical canal is placed in a nutrient medium on which bacteria grow, and then determine the most effective antibacterial agents. 



    Since no analysis is not 100% certainty, doctors often prescribe and seeding, and PCR, and ELISA, and smear on the flora at the same time. Obtained on the basis of several studies information is more reliable and helps to make an exact diagnosis. 



    If you suspect a cervical pathology spend colposcopy – examination of the cervix under a microscope. With this method it is possible to identify cervical erosion, leukoplakia, papilomatoz, cancerous changes. If necessary, under the supervision of colposcopy, a biopsy taken (a small piece of tissue) of the amended section and send the material for histological examination.The fabric is treated with a special way and study under magnification. Histology provides the most accurate information about the state authority. If excluded oncology, for treatment of diseases of the cervix is often used methods that are based on a pathological fracture site, and after healing at this point formed the normal tissue. Such methods include diathermocoagulation ( "moxibustion"), laser effect (destruction of the pathological formation with a laser), cryodestruction ( "freezing" of the affected area), the use of acid solution ( "Solkovagin"). 



    After inspection in the mirrors usually produce two-handed vaginal study. In this study, determine the size, position, state of the uterus, fallopian tubes and ovaries. With vaginal study diagnosed uterine fibroids, inflammation of the appendages, ovarian cysts, ectopic pregnancy, uterine pregnancy may be suspected endometriosis, and so on. If the study cast doubt on the accuracy of diagnosis appoint ultrasonography (U.S.). This method is one of the leading methods of investigation in gynecology. It is effective, harmless, allows to determine the state of internal organs without damaging the integrity of the organism. The method is based on the ability of different tissues in different ways to reflect the ultrasonic waves. When pathological changes in organs, the ability to change. With determine ultrasonic diagnosis of the functional state of the endometrium (uterine lining) and the ovaries, the size and location of bodies, clarify the diagnosis delivered in the previous study. Ultrasound technique is different and depends on the specific situation and diagnostic equipment cabinet. In transabdominal ultrasound investigations were carried out through the anterior abdominal wall during the filling of the bladder. The bladder pushes a loop of intestines, which contributes to better visibility of the uterus and ovaries. When transvaginal study sensor device is introduced into the vagina. This method is more progressive, it offers more opportunities for diagnosis. Sensor is almost directly in contact with the target organ, so there is no need to fill the bladder, the study is not hampered by obesity, adhesive process, the presence of scars on the anterior abdominal wall. But pregnant women at later stages of this method is contraindicated. 



    The human body is almost completely hormone. Many processes are subject to fluctuations in hormone levels. Determine the functional state of the reproductive system allows tests of functional diagnostics. These include measurement of basal temperature in the rectum, which varies depending on the phase of the menstrual cycle and is an indicator of the ovaries.However, the basal temperature does not always provide enough information about the hormonal status of the patient, and there is a need for hormonal studies. The level of some hormones, depending on the phase of the menstrual cycle, so they can take only on certain days. In a number of hormonal disorders is necessary to study the brain for which resort to computed tomography (CT), radiography of the skull. These studies provide insight on the state of the pituitary, which regulates the activity of many endocrine glands, including those that govern the reproductive system. 



    In addition to infertility investigations hormone levels determine patency of the fallopian tubes. When kimograficheskoy pertubatsii (method of identifying the functional state of the uterus and fallopian tubes) in the uterus, tubes and into the abdominal cavity of injected air or gas and graphically record the reduction of the fallopian tubes. Often requires an additional hysterosalpingography (GSG). In the uterus injected radiopaque substance, and then make an X-ray. When the Fallopian tubes of the substance enters the pipe and poured into the abdominal cavity – it will be seen in the picture. If the pipes are not passable, then the picture will be clear which department pipe struck. This is important in order to solve the problem of surgical treatment. If impassable final section tubes, then this situation can be corrected with surgery. It is now widely used laparoscopic surgery (in this case do, as a rule, three small puncture, which assume a video camera and instruments), such an operation is less traumatic and postoperative period was easy. If the pipe is not passable in the near to the uterus department, then eliminate this defect with the operation impossible. Such women offer ekstakorporalnoe fertilization (IVF), ie fertilization in vitro. In acute situations, in the differential diagnosis between ectopic pregnancy, ovarian appopleksiey (torn capsule of the ovary), and appendicitis – perform diagnostic laparoscopy, ie through a puncture in the abdominal wall introducing a video camera and examined the innards. If you find a pathological process producing operation. With GSG also diagnosed endometriosis of the uterus (adenomyosis), uterine cancer, uterine anomalies in the structure, isthmic-cervical insufficiency. 



    To identify intrauterine pathologic processes using hysteroscopy. It is introduced into the uterus manipulator with a video camera. With this method, you can see the canal of the cervix and uterus. This allows in some cases to avoid scraping, which is a traumatic procedure, or take a biopsy with only a suspicious area. Under the supervision of hysteroscopy may divide the intra-seam that prevent pregnancy, and even remove uterine myoma, which grows inside the cavity. 



    Women who had a history of miscarriages, non-developing pregnancy, birth of children with Disabilities, etc., displaying medical genetic research. 



    All pregnant women in establishing the fact of pregnancy necessarily measure the size of the pelvis special device tazomerom. It is very important information because narrowing pelvis birth vaginal possible and necessary cesarean section. Pronounced narrowing of the anomalies of the pelvis, suspected inadequate size of the pelvis and fetal head, a history of injuries of the pelvis, spend rentgenopelviometriyu, ie measurement of the pelvis through the X-ray image. Apply this technique at the end of pregnancy, when he was no longer dangerous to the fetus.Throughout the pregnancy, measured the height of the bottom of the uterus and abdominal circumference – it gives an indication of how to grow fruit, whether the size of the term of pregnancy. With this data you can calculate the estimated fetal weight. 



    A method by which to evaluate the condition of the fetus is cardiotocography. At the mother’s abdomen is placed sensors that detect fetal cardiac activity, its movement, uterine contractions.The device records the data in the form of the curve on which the judge on the state of the baby. 



    Pregnant women are advised on the age of 16 – 21 week of pregnancy to explore such an indicator as alpha-fetoprotein, which is an indicator of the nervous system of the fetus. To analyze the blood of the mother or take amniotic fluid. To study okolloplodnyh water resort that is suspected to any deviations in the fetus (genetic disorders, etc.), this involves an operation amniocentesis (amniocentesis). 



    Naturally, the problem of the relationship of patients to the gynecological examination is not solved a single article. But perhaps, after reading it, you’ll be able to talk with your doctor, better aware of the core problem. Dealing with a competent patient easier and communication is more productive. Hopefully, you will be going to the doctor, not only when a problem arises with health, but also as a prophylactic measure once every six months or a year. The full survey should take if you are thinking about the baby while you can avoid many problems in the future.The fact that the disease is easier to prevent than to treat everyone knows, but not all follow the truth.

    Fibroids

    Author:  //  Category: Gynecology, Reproduction

    Fibroids of the uterus is one of the most common benign tumors in women. Frequency of occurrence is strikingly high – one in four women older than 30 years and every third woman predklimakterichesogo age has given pathology. Approximately every second patient department of operative gynecology is scheduled surgery for uterine myoma.

    Fibroids of the uterus or, more precisely, leiomyofibroma - smooth-tissue tumor of the uterus with a pronounced connective tissue component. Myoma (leiomyoma) of the uterus in its pure form is rare. Thus, fibroid with nodes located in the middle of the myometrium is the ratio of muscle and connective parts of 2:1 and more like a true myoma. In podbryuschinnyh nodes fibroids, the ratio is 1:3.

    The causes of fibroids include, above all, the stimulating effect of hormonal background on the myometrium. Found that estrogen increased the background is not observed in all patients, but it develops metabolic functions of estrogens and yellow bodies, changing the sensitivity of the uterus to the action of hormones.

    A role in the origin and development of uterine fibroids are violations in the hypothalamus – pituitary – ovary – uterus. Although no specific data in this regard, little, most authors agree on the idea that since the beginning of puberty before the start of menopause estrogen levels in the blood increases by about 3 times and this factor should be considered, if not causal, then one of the important starting points. It is important and heredity, ie in families where there were fibroids and polycystic ovarian risk of fibroids in direct relatives is much higher.

    The development of uterine fibroids frequently characterized by the formation of multiple units of various sizes. Single units are rare. The most frequent localization of nodes – in the midline, near the pipe spools and lateral parts of the cervix, where there is a close intertwining of muscle fibers. Quite often, the node starts to grow inside the muscular layer. For the limits of uterine fibroids often grow on the muscle pedicle. Sometimes the leg is so thin that it can twist and cause complications of the disease. Simple myoma, myoma and proliferating predsarkoma usually are stages of development of malignant disease – sarcoma, but because timely treatment of fibroids is the most effective way to prevent the development of leyomiosarkomy.

    Clinic fibroids

    The clinic depends on the type of tumor growth, its localization and some other factors. With slow growth node disease for years can take place without any manifestations, despite the relatively large size of fibroids by the time of its detection. The rapid growth of the tumor gives a more pronounced symptoms, therefore, such patients enter the surgical department after 1-2 years of onset.

    Patients go to the doctor when they detect bleeding associated with its anemia, abdominal pain, symptoms of the bladder and other adjacent organs. Bleeding is usually manifested in the form of heavy monthly (with clots, more than 5 days), but then can be transformed into cases of bleeding out monthly.

    With long-term course of the disease caused disturbances of ovarian function up to the lack of ovulation or luteal dysfunction, which leads to even more pronounced hormonal shifts. These shifts are considered to be a stimulating factor in the development of cystic changes in the ovaries, and endometrial hyperplasia. With the onset of menopause, a decrease tumor size. If the tumor size for the year increased by 5 weeks of pregnancy, the need for careful examination to exclude malignant transformation of uterine sarcoma.

    Diagnosis of fibroids

    The diagnosis is easily already in the normal gynecological examination. If you suspect submucosa fibroids sometimes necessary hysteroscopic examination (examination of the uterus).Great importance in diagnosis are the means of medical imaging, among which played a leading role ultrasonography. Are also used magnetic resonance imaging, X-ray and some other methods.

    Treatment of fibroids

    Predominantly surgery. Now try to apply organ-saving operations. However, the rapid growth of the tumor, suspicion of malignancy, large size of the tumor carrying out radical surgery: amputation of the uterus, ektirpatsiya uterus.

    But modern surgery can remove even large fibroids laparoscopically, which creates additional opportunities for the treatment of a doctor and patient. Sometimes you can do without surgical intervention. In these cases, pharmacological inhibition of tumor growth through an integrated treatment of hormonal and nonhormonal drugs.

    Injuries to the female genital organs

    Author:  //  Category: Gynecology, Reproduction

    Injuries to the female genital organs develop as a result of falls, especially at the sharp and pointed objects, during intercourse, with the introduction into the vagina and uterus of hard and sharp objects, tools (Bougie, metal catheters, dilators, etc.).

    Varieties genital injuries

    In the practice of obstetrics and gynecology sexual mutilation outside the act of birth is rarely observed. They are classified as follows:

    1.  breaks during sexual intercourse;

    2.  damage caused by foreign bodies in the genital tract;

    3.  Trauma of the external genitalia and vagina domestic and industrial nature, inflicted by a sharp object;

    4.  genital injuries, crushing;

    5.  chopped, sliced and gunshot wounds genitals; damages due to medical activities.

    Symptoms of genital injuries

    Trauma of the external genitalia seen bleeding, hematoma formation, often extensive, in large and small labia, in the vagina. If the damage the clitoris, where there is an extensive vascular network, the bleeding can be very abundant.

    Treatment of genital injuries

    Regardless of the cause of damage to determine the volume required a thorough examination in a hospital environment, which includes along with the initial examination, special techniques (rectoscopy, cystoscopy, radiography, ultrasono-and NMR-study, etc.).

    Treatment of genital injuries, as a rule, surgical. It is a thorough treatment of wounds, stop bleeding by ligating blood vessels or with tamponade. Rarely produce suturing the gap (provided fresh "uncontaminated" wounds). With injuries, penetrating into vaginal vaults, shown laparotomy. At the same time fulfill protivoshokovym activities, introducing tetanus, provide prevention and treatment of the inflammatory process.

    Ectopic pregnancy

    Author:  //  Category: Gynecology, Reproduction

    Ectopic pregnancy - an abnormal pregnancy, which poses a serious threat to the woman’s life. Rather than develop as expected, in the uterus, the fertilized egg develops outside.

    Variations of ectopic pregnancy

    Localization fetal eggs ectopic pregnancy is divided into the tubal, ovarian, abdominal, cervical pregnancy. Most (99%) fetal egg is implanted in various parts of the uterine tube – ampullar (60-95%), istmicheskom (15%), rarely (1-3%) – interstitial (intramural). Very rare ovarian (0,1-0,7%), abdominal (0,3-0,4%), pregnancy, pregnancy in the cervix (0.01%).

    Symptoms of ectopic pregnancy

    The developing ectopic pregnancy is exactly the same as normal. Woman feels pregnant: it has a delay of mammary glands swell, her nausea increases uterus, etc. All these symptoms persist until spontaneous termination of ectopic pregnancy. Therefore, the correct diagnosis is very difficult.

    This pregnancy is making itself felt when she begins to be interrupted. Thus the main symptoms are:

  • appearance mazhuschih dark discharge from the vagina;
  • concerned about abdominal pain, smack in the anus. They may be small, if there is a release of an egg into the abdominal cavity, or sharp and strong, if the ruptured pipe)
  • abdominal bleeding can cause a woman to lose consciousness.
  • If a woman has appeared such symptoms should immediately call an ambulance and go to the gynecology department.

    Treatment of ectopic pregnancy

    Previously, ectopic pregnancy eliminated only through surgery. This woman had to remove the tube, to which was attached a fertilized egg (which is a direct path to infertility). Now there are so many options when you can do without surgery. The most important thing – time to make a diagnosis. And so you should not delay the march to a gynecologist. This will help avoid many complications.

    Prevention of ectopic pregnancy

    First of all – time to treat inflammation in the pelvis. Before the planned pregnancy should do a comprehensive survey on the presence of chlamydia, mycoplasma, ureaplasma, and other pathogenic microbes to quickly get rid of them. This survey, together with you to get a husband (or a permanent sexual partner).

    Vaginitis

    Author:  //  Category: Gynecology, Reproduction

    Vaginitis (coleitis) - one of the most common diseases in gynecology. At present, unfortunately, the increasing number of patients. According to statistics, vaginitis occurs in one third of women of childbearing age.

    It is associated with the spread of sexual infection, low immunity, frequent change of sexual partner, the deterioration of the environment. Contributing factors are vaginitis hypovaria not respect the elementary rules of personal hygiene, hormonal disorders.

    Vaginitis or coleitis - is an inflammatory process that affects the whole mucous membrane of the vagina. It is often combined with inflammation of the external genitalia and may take the form of vulvovaginitis. The main cause of vaginitis – vaginal penetration of pathogenic microorganisms (gonococcus, Trichomonas, pinworms) with contaminated clothing, dirty hands, when non-compliance with basic rules of personal hygiene. Often occurs with prolonged mechanical irritation of the mucous membrane. Girls 5-12 years vaginitis may develop in contact infection in the vagina with blood (for influenza, scarlet fever).

    Symptoms of vaginitis

    Recently got a lot of data that vaginitis in any case connected with sexual activity and is a disease that is transmitted sexually.

    The main symptoms of vaginitis:

  • swelling and redness of the mucous membrane of the vagina;
  • allocation of a large number of abnormal vaginal discharge (sometimes bloody);
  • aching pain in the abdomen;
  • sensation, itchy external genitals;
  • unpleasant odor.
  • Signs of vulvovaginitis in the form of reddening of the external genitalia are often distributed on the skin of the thighs and buttocks, there are copious purulent discharge, itching, burning.Occurs and senile vaginitis, which occurs against the backdrop of age-related changes (dryness of the mucous membrane of the vagina) in the body.

    In no case do not exercise self! Even when symptoms similar to symptoms of vaginitis, the diagnosis in any case shall deliver a specialist after conducting a survey and analysis results. Is not necessary to delay a visit to a gynecologist, because any disease is best treated in its early stage of development to avoid the complications and unpleasant consequences.

    It should be noted that, although many authors claim that vaginitis is often caused by infection, sexually transmitted infections. According to recent data 40% of cases of vaginitis occurs for quite different reasons.

    Vaginitis can affect sexually active women. Reduce sexual activity, causing pain during intercourse, and accompanied by an unpleasant odor. This raises a number of disadvantages for women or weaken the desire of its partner to intimacy.

    About 28% of women of reproductive age are very often ill vaginitis. In addition, at least 60% of all cases of vaginitis are primarily related to the bacterium Gardnerella (gardnarelloy), also known as Hemophilias vaginalis, or Corynebacterium vaginale.

    Clinical manifestations of vaginitis

    On clinical course distinguish between acute, subacute and chronic vaginitis. In acute vaginitis patients often complain of:

  • heavy vaginal discharge different nature;
  • intolerable itching in the vagina;
  • feeling of burning and bursting open;
  • sensation of pressure, pain in the genital organs and the small pelvis.
  • Many women may experience problems with urination.

    In chronic pain the same form of vaginitis are practically absent. Patients often complain of heavy allocation, itching, burning and small ulcers in the vagina. Overall health is often not affected.

    Treatment of vaginitis

    Bacterial vaginitis is caused by microorganisms, which always live in the vagina, but not much. In a healthy woman is dominated by lactic acid bacteria. But circumstances can arise so that pathogens (staphylococci, streptococci, etc.) begins to multiply. Their reproduction is likely to worsen during pregnancy. Pass the analysis of pregnancy. Pregnant women should be required to treat vaginitis, as well as at birth the child may become infected. Vaginitis increases the risk of ruptures of the cervix during childbirth.

    Chlamydial vaginitis can be contracted from another woman in the swimming pool, gym, or when using someone else’s toilet. During the treatment of vaginitis requires completely abstain from sexual activity.

    For the treatment of vaginitis shown douching solution of potassium permanganate, chamomile, sage and other herbs. It is also used candles and vaginal tablets. Antibiotics should not use, because disease-causing microbes can be insensitive to them, and the normal microbes can be killed.

    After the treatment of vaginitis, when the discomfort persist, you must go to the gynecologist and make a smear to ensure recovery. After recovery, medications should be used to promote growth of lactobacilli and restore the normal flora of the vagina.

    Treatment of vaginitis should be comprehensive and imposed only a gynecologist. It depends on many reasons for the development of vaginitis. Treatment of vaginitis include antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, restorative therapy.

    It is widely used topical treatment: washing, douching, vaginal suppositories with different drugs, trays with drugs. Screening and treatment should undergo both sexual partners. At the time of treatment of vaginitis are advised to refrain from sexual intercourse to prevent reinfection or to use condoms.
