Seasonal disease: myths and truth


Seasonal disease: myths and truthThere are many myths about how to prevent seasonal exacerbation. Which ones are correct and which are outdated? Advises private practice therapist Margarita V. Antonov.



Dystonia


"Dystonia heal does not heal, and the attacks still overtake'.




Of course, to fully cure dystonia difficult. Because it is associated with hereditary peculiarities of the nervous system and blood vessels. However, to prevent the fall and winter exacerbation quite real.




In recent years, people with dystonia began to advise biologically active food supplements, including coenzyme Q10 and L-carnitine. Coenzyme Q10 is, for example, kodesana, and L-carnitine - the new BAD Carnitin and elcar. These additives improve the metabolic processes in the heart, normalize vascular tone, prevent discomfort in the chest. Moreover, L-carnitine enhances mental and physical performance and endurance.




We should not forget about the traditional scheme of the struggle with dystonia. In the morning take adaptogens such as ginseng or Siberian ginseng, and in the evening soothing tincture of a peony or motherwort.




Very good and physiotherapy. If dystonia develops on hypertonic type, suitable coniferous, chloride, oxygen baths with the addition of soothing herbs.


When the disease hypotonic type raise the tone or contrasting circular shower, pearl, radon and hydrochloric coniferous baths.




When dystonia in cardiac type better work bubble baths and douches. Useful massage, acupuncture and physiotherapy.




Gastritis and peptic ulcer disease




"In diseases of the stomach in the season exacerbations need a strict diet: semi-solid porridge, soups, the complete elimination of spices and alcohol.




Of course, such a diet reduces the likelihood of relapse. But not by much. According to the latest data scientists, it takes in a series of preventive measures is not the first place. A much greater effect on the stomach has a psychological condition. When you are constantly deprived of sleep, often feel the excitement and anxiety, aggravation can still occur.


If you cannot avoid stress, you need a calming treatment. In mild cases this herbal preparations. More serious, perhaps the doctor will recommend tranquilizers or antidepressants.




And the most important from the point of view of gastroenterology - tests for the presence of Helicobacter. If this organism continues to live freely in your stomach, many of the preventive measures have no meaning.




"The best means of prevention of gastritis and ulcers - folk. Help vodka with a raw egg and butter, sea buckthorn oil, fresh cabbage and potato juices".




Is only partly true. Of course, and fresh vegetable juices, and sea buckthorn oil is useful. But in gastritis and peptic ulcer improvement they give a temporary and very short. Medicines in this case, more reliable and more efficient.




As for the vodka with butter and eggs, it is often used to treat stomach ulcers. This potion gives short-term analgesic effect. However, contrary to popular belief, there is no "disinfection" and the death of Helicobacter not happening. Yes and daily intake of alcohol is harmful to the liver and the whole body. So to use this tool does not make sense.




Chronic pyelonephritis




"To prevent the exacerbation of pyelonephritis can herbal".




This is an absolutely correct statement. The effectiveness of medicinal plants in this disease is proven. Particularly good diuretic herbs and plants with antimicrobial effect.




Regular "washing" of the kidneys and bladder herbal teas infection does not stagnate. Thus prevents the aggravation. But the composition of grasses in fees should be alternated every two weeks.




The most useful extracts of bearberry, cowberry leaf, flower cornflower, birch kidneys, renal tea. And also the fruit drinks from cranberries and blueberries. It is desirable that the fruit drinks you cooked yourself.




However, herbal medicine is not a panacea. In some cases, will be effective only pills. Therefore, in chronic pyelonephritis throughout the autumn it is necessary once in two or three weeks to do the comparative analysis of urine.




Do not assign yourself treating yourself, the tools that were used previously. First, the germs can get used to the medication. Secondly, in recent time there are new tablets for the prevention of exacerbation of pyelonephritis, which are well tolerated. Before medications are often caused nausea and other side effects. The new generation have virtually no effect on other organs and systems. They operate only in the kidneys and bladder.





"Clothes and lifestyle kidney is not affected. The main thing - time to drink tablets or grass.


This is not the case. Youth fashion in recent years a bad influence on the course of pyelonephritis. Short blouse and trousers with low waist cause the lumbar region pereohlajdenia. And because of the fact that jeans and trousers tightly hug the body, the blood circulation in the pelvis is deteriorating. All this leads to the aggravation.




Therefore, the propensity for kidney diseases special attention to your wardrobe. Try not to wear tight clothing. And maximally protect against hypothermia waist. To improve circulation in sedentary work every hour get up and warm-up, making rotation of the pelvis.




Depression





"Depression can endure, life will get better".


The mood in the winter months is reduced by many. This is a common phenomenon occurring with increasing day length. To autumn melancholy did not aggravate, enter a special, gentle. No you can reboot at work, try to get enough sleep.




Independently can try a soft herbal antidepressants based on St. John's wort, for example, negratin. Familiarize yourself with the list of contraindications and side effects. However, if your condition does not return to normal, contact your doctor.




Long-term decreased mood may be a very real depression. And in this case you need psychotherapy or antidepressants. Depression, in contrast to the autumn Blues, without treatment does not stop.





Chronic bronchitis



"In the season of colds exacerbations of chronic bronchitis can not be avoided".


Chronic bronchitis is really difficult to treat. But significantly reduce the frequency of exacerbations. First of all it is necessary to pass the examination and make the spirography. If this study shows that bronchial patency is reduced, will require long-term use bronchodilatory funds. According to the latest data scientists, this therapy significantly reduces the likelihood of relapse.




If you smoke, try to quit or reduce the number of cigarettes smoked.




Try to avoid prolonged contact with dust and cigarette smoke. If you have a long time to be in areas with polluted air, wear a protective mask.


Definitely moisturize the air at home. This helps the cough and sputum elimination. Good methods of prevention are moderate hardening of the body and the intake of herbal adaptogens. Physiotherapy also helps the bronchi and facilitates health.




By direct contact with diseased cold recommended taking Oscillococcinum, Anaferon, lawmacs or other drugs. But only after consultation with your doctor.





"That cold not be hindered by coughing and shortness of breath, weak lungs need from the first day of the disease to take antibiotics".


This statement is only half true. People with chronic bronchitis, indeed most frequently used antibiotics for colds. But need this treatment is not from day one.




If you are sick of SARS, it is necessary to take all measures for a speedy recovery. By prescription use immunomodulators and antiviral drugs, as well as the entire Arsenal of folk remedies.




If you have a nebulizer, pay attention to the inhalation. It is better to use a combination of thinning phlegm, and drugs that stimulate its expectoration.


Antibiotics should only be needed if all these measures will be ineffective. To assess your condition and decide on the use of antibiotics can the doctor on day 4-5 of the disease.




"Vaccination against influenza reduces immunity. Increased frequency of colds, and hence exacerbations of bronchitis.




This view is incorrect in principle, though very common. You need to understand that the vaccine protects against influenza viruses. This means that before any other agents of the common cold you are still vulnerable. In nature over hundreds.


However, the flu is most dangerous for the lungs. In patients with chronic bronchitis it almost always leads to deterioration.




Doctors have estimated that the annual flu shot, made in October or the first half of November, reduces the number of severe exacerbations of bronchitis twice.
