Gynaecological problems.

Dear all,

Here i'm starting this thread to know about gynaecological problems something little bit theoretically. I'm not sure whether the home remedies works or not. But i guess you'll learn what it is? How does it happen? and its prevention. I'm new to this forum. If you all are interested to know other gyaneacological problems., will post it here.
Waiting for your reply.

Dear all,
Here I'm posting about Dysmenorrhoea .
Check it out what it is.

Dysmenorrhoea - Period Pains

Painful menstruation or pain during the time of the monthly periods is called dysmenorrhoea. Congestion in the pelvic organs and ovulatory cycles are the causes of dysmenorrhoea during the early years of womanhood. Dysmenrrhoea which starts in the later years may be related to pelvic infections, fibroids or other gynaecological conditions.
There are certain chemicals called prostaglandins that a woman's uterine lining produces every month. These help the uterus to contract ,and discharge its tissue and tissue fluids, which were formed to make the lining conducive for a fertilized ovum to embed itself. For some unknown reasons, when these prostaglandin levels are too high they cause cramps.
What Causes period pain - Information on Causes of Dysmenorrhoea.

• Pains may start with the first-ever period. However, they are more likely to begin 6-12 months later, once cycles where an egg is released are established. It's these cycles that appear to cause more pain.
• The cause of period pain is not certain. Once an egg has been released from one of the ovaries, natural chemicals produced by the body called prostaglandins are made in the lining of the uterus (womb). Some prostaglandins cause the walls of the uterus to contract. Some women produce higher levels of prostaglandins, which may cause increased contractions of the uterus. These cramps may be more painful because there is reduced blood (and therefore oxygen) supply to the myometrium (muscle wall of the uterus) during the contractions.

Symptoms of period pain - Information on Symptoms of Dysmenorrhoea.

• Period pains vary a lot in strength and in position. Some women have a dull dragging pain in the abdomen or lower back or in both areas; others have more severe cramping abdominal pain. In some the pain may be felt in front of the thighs.
• Up to 15% of women have period pains severe enough to interfere with their daily activities. This can lead to missing days at school or work or decreased participation in social or sporting activities.
• Some women may get nausea and vomiting, and in severe cases fainting may occur.

Remedies for period pain - Treatment of Dysmenorrhoea.

• Holding a hot-water bottle on the abdomen will give temporary relief.
• Decrease your salt intake a day or two before your periods are due. This helps excess fluid to be easily discharged by the kidneys, thus relieving pelvic congestion.
• Take a long leaf of aloe vera. Wash it well and put it into a mixer to extract the juice. Strain and filter this juice. Take a tablespoon of this with honey 2-3 times a day for 4-5 days. It has an added laxative effect. So vary the dose as required. Make fresh juice every day.
• Papaya aids menstrual flow. Have a large bowlful daily during your periods. Papaya also has a laxative action, so monitor the amount taken. It is supposed to have oestrogen-like prapiraties.
• A cupful of carrot juice drunk once a day is also beneficial.
• Carrot and parsley soup help in combating period pains.

Consult your general practitioner if the pain worsens or if you develop period pain following 3 or 4 years of relatively pain-free periods.

Dear All,

Here I'm posting another article about adenomyosis which i found in the net.

Don't get with these symptoms. The motive of this thread is to know something about Gynaecological problems.

What is Adenomyosis?

Adenomyosis is uterine thickening that occurs when endometrial tissue, which normally lines the uterus, extends into the fibrous and muscular tissue of the uterus. Adenomyosis disease may coexist with external endometriosis

in which endometrial implants are located outside the uterus. The abnormally located endometrial tissue, like the normal endometrium, tends to bleed with the menses. The blood and debris may accumulate in these misplaced glands creating small fluid collections inside the uterine wall. This penetrating and functioning endometrial tissue may lead to swelling; the uterus may become larger and globular.

Adenomyosis may present as a diffuse condition or it may be focal. In the latter, there are local areas of swelling, so-called adenomyomas, that may mimic other uterine masses.
The background incidence of adenomyosis in all women either with or without symptoms is not known precisely because only in recent years has MRI imaging been able to diagnose adenomyosis without doing a hysterectomy. In studies of chronic pelvic pain in which women had hysterectomies, the incidence of adenomyosis is about 15% to 25%.
What are the symptoms of Adenomyosis

Adenomyosis may be present and cause no symptoms. When this condition presents with symptoms the typical triad is uterine enlargement, pelvic pain and heavy and abnormal menstrual bleeding. Pain, which is most common during menses (dysmenorrhea), may be severe cramping or knifelike. However, pain may be present any time during the cycle and not only during the period. Some of the common symptoms of Adenomyosis may includes :-

• New onset of menstrual cramping.
• Painful menstruation.
• Prolonged or heavy menstrual bleeding.
• The uterus is often 2-3 times the normal size.

What are the causes of Adenomyosis

The cause is unknown. Sometimes a focal area of adenomyosis appears to cause a mass or growth within the uterus, which is called an adenomyoma. The disease usually occurs in women older than 30 who have borne children and rarely occurs in women who have not carried a pregnancy to term. Cause is basically unknown although there seems to be an increased incidence associated with any :-

• Child birth
• Pregnancy terminations
• Cesarean sections
• Tubal ligations

Complications in Adenomyosis
Oral contraceptives may aggravate symptoms of heavy bleeding or pain.
Natural home remedies for the treatment of Adenomyosis

Some of the common home remedies for the treatment of Adenomyosis are :-

• Have a teaspoon of Indian gooseberry juice with sugar on an empty stomach every morning. Follow it up with a glass of warm water.
• Grind fresh bael leaves. A teaspoonful of this paste with warm water, had once a day, is efficacious.
• Coriander-seed decoction: Boil a teaspoon of coriander seeds in a cup of water till it is reduced to half. Add sugar to taste and have twice or thrice a day while it is still warm.
• Soak 2-3 almonds in water overnight. Next morning, remove the skins and grind the almonds to a paste with 2-3 small bael leaves. Add a little honey and have daily. (The bael-Ieaf juice should be about a teaspoonful). Follow this with a cup of warm milk.

Other treatment for Adenomyosis

Usually the only treatment is pain medication (analgesics). A hysterectomy may be necessary in women with severe symptoms who are not approaching menopause.Most treatment attempts with hormones have been unsuccessful.
Hysterectomy is currently considered by most the only effective treatment for symptomatic adenomyosis. In recent years, many patients with adenomyosis by surgically removing only specific areas of the uterus containing the bulk of the disease (as carefully defined by transvaginal ultrasound).
The drawback of this surgical treatment is that pregnancy is no longer an option. Nonetheless, patient satisfaction has been high because this more limited operation avoids all the other drawbacks of hysterectomy.
