How to cure thrush (part 2)

March 30th, 2010 by admin

Thrush is a mycotic lesion (candida, yeast infection) of mucous membranes of vagina or oral cavity. It often develops after antibiotics intake, especially uncontrolled one. At the same time it can be easily transmitted sexually.

Thrush is usually caused by Candida – type of fungus, which is normally present in human body. Candida exists on a skin and mucous membranes (in mouth and bowels) of most healthy people. In certain conditions this fungus grows very fast and its growth leads to thrush. As a rule yeast infection appears as a result of general and local immunity reduction. If one has not started treatment at the right time, he risks to drag the cure process out for a very long period.

Thrush is not referred to venereal diseases and is considered together with them due to similar clinical presentation.

Factors, leading to Candida growth

  • antibiotics intake;
  • syringing;
  • wearing tight underwear (especially synthetic one)
  • pregnancy;
  • pancreatic diabetes;
  • HIV infection.

Thrush symptoms of men:

  • itch, painfulness and balanus reddening
  • edema of balanus and prepuce
  • white clotted incrustation on balanus
  • pain during coitus

Thrush symptoms of women:

  • itch, painfulness and pudendum reddening;
  • itch and painfulness of vagina;
  • white clotted vaginal discharge;
  • painful urination;

Is thrush dangerous?

There is no big health threat from this disease. Though it gives much trouble to the patient and impedes normal sexual life. Besides thrush can be an indication of serious general diseases (e.g.: pancreatic diabetes and HIV infection).

Once a patient appeals to doctor for medical help and get instructions on how to treat candida, he as the need arises usually follows them again and again. Such line of action will help in thrush cure one, two, three times, but sooner or later the magic wand will get broken. As the root of troubles is in immunity weakening, and thrush is just its external manifestation. That is why together with thrush treatment it is necessary to look for and to eliminate the reason of immunodeficiency, to strengthen own microflora. Without such measures thrush will crop up again and again. In addition thrush symptoms, discharge, itch and burning can turn out to be not as harmless as it seems. The same symptoms are typical for gonorrhea, chlamydiosis, trichomoniasis, ureaplasmosis, and other infections. And for their cure we need entirely different remedies.

Thrush diagnostics

candida fungi

Diagnostics is based on clinical presentation and results, light microscopy. Detection of fungi of Candida species in nutrient medium by direct immunofluorescence method (DIM) and DNA diagnostics method (PCR) does not make diagnostic sense, as the mentioned methods can detect even single microorganisms and thrush is conditioned by large number of fungi of Candida species. As you already know, in quantity these fungi exist on skin and mucous membranes of most healthy people.

Thrush cure

Can be cured by one-time intake of on 150 mg pill of Fluconazole (Diflucan, Flucostat, Mikomax). At the same time Pimafucin suppositories or vaginal tablets Clotrimasol should be applied for thrush treatment. In addition vaginal suppositories that include Lactobacillus acidophilus should be also used for 5-7 days to recover normal state of microflora.

Thrush and sex

If you suffer from thrush then sexual acts will most likely be accompanied by pain. If you don’t feel a pain, you may safely have sex, but surely with condom.

The sexual partner should be also treated by taking Fluconazole and smear his genitals with Clotrimasol cream.

How to cure psoriasis

March 30th, 2010 by admin

Psoriasis is known as a skin non-communicable disease being called so due to chronic dermatitis which affects the skin and sometimes the joints, nails.

Psoriasis is presented via papules which are getting raised above the surface of the skin and are pinkish red being covered with some kind of silvery scales that disappear when scratched. Papules also tend to merge into larger plaques within the time being. As for the typical psoriasis case itch is perceived as a common thing. Papules are most commonly on the skin of the knees, elbows, buttocks, thighs on the scalp, but also quite often appear in such places where the skin is traumatized. However, violations may be almost any organ.

Psoriasis cure

The causes of psoriasis are still not exactly evaluated since the variety of cases are many. That’s in accordance with one theory psoriasis is seen as a hereditary disease or the one influenced by the gene which he passed and not yet identified. Scientists believe that psoriasis appears due to endocrine disorders and metabolic disorders causing changes in the immune system of the patient as well as various stresses and neuroses. At present, the mechanisms of this disease are still being in disputes and the related data is still in progress of being collected since sufficient amount is not gathered which would give the way of life in terms of human genome influenced by environmental factors or the nature of power and so on.

Psoriasis is usually treated being treated for a long time period and very often requires the individual selection of therapy for each patient precisely since it is not being a healthy reason accepting all drugs which are not equally effective and giving help is absolutely all patients.

Typically, the treatment of psoriasis is a kind of complex and outpatients in dermatological or medical setting changes depending on the stage of the process with respect to the clinical forms. Before we take a chance to prescribe the necessary remedy applicable to a particular patient we have to examine the patient first and to determine metabolic disorders, as well as the state of the nervous, endocrine and immune systems.
The main objective of treatment procedure of psoriasis is that to achieve such a state that is more or less appropriate for an ordinary patient providing him/her with an adequate quality of life.

In the arsenal of dermatologists in the present conditions there are various methods of treatment that allows you to select a program suitable for you. It will be determined depending on the form and severity of disease, localization of rash, presence of concomitant diseases, sex and age.

Currently available therapy procedures are targeting the reducing the overproduction in terms of cells of the surface layer of the skin and the normalization of their division being suppressed of immune reactions in the skin and eliminate the imbalance between the substances that increase and reduce inflammation (cytokines). Such therapy can be both systemic as well as outside.

In fact, it looks like the more often happening case that only the therapeutic effects of a local nature are perceived as not enough especially with large lesions of the skin which is more than 20% of the infected area or with severe clinical forms of the disease, referred to earlier. In these cases, the system shows the impact of drugs.

One of the brake even events of modern pharmacology is the creation of biological or as being are called as anticytokine drugs which are made and imposing a significant breakthrough in the treatment of inflammatory diseases of man. The means of biological therapies are aimed selectively for blocking the activity of the key activators of the cascade of reactions that cause inflammatory changes in psoriasis. Thus, they are able to interrupt the development of all clinical manifestations of disease.

How to cure cystitis

March 27th, 2010 by admin

The inflammation process of the bladder is a relatively common disease of urinary tract which is the most frequently seen amongst women rather than men, to whom the disease occurs in reasonably much less cases.

Cystitis cure

In accordance with classification adopted worldwide cystitis is in fact split into primary and secondary phases.

Primary cystitis most often occurs in the intact bladder being raised without any previous changes within intact bladder being developed as an independent disease.

Secondary cystitis is a more complicated situation compared to other diseases of the urinary bladder.

Remember! Primary cystitis are often seen as an acute whereas secondary ones present the chronic cases only.

Originally the name Cysts comes from the Greek. Kystis which is bladder inflammation of the bladder which usually is being developed on the basis of infection which is basically characterized by frequent and painful urination, blood and pus in the urine, discomfort during sexual life.

In fact, it is difficult to treat cystitis and achieve full recovery stage is not a feasible thing for everyone. Unfortunately, for the majority of patients there is not always a stronghold chance comprising of one hundred percent which guarantees of recovery. In many cases there is a relapse of the disease in relation to the erosion of general immunity combined with colds, chill or the use of substances which is irritating the mucous membrane of the urinary bladder. The obvious question which comes to mind more or less often is “whether it is worth to treat cystitis, not enough to be a simple medication to reduce the symptoms of the disease?”. The question is hard to answer in fact since most of the experts trust that the need to treat cystitis is essential although in some cases after taking some pills the patient feels like a healthy person. This is especially important for young women who want to know the joy of motherhood. The spread of infections a child is possible in 40-60% of cases.

For the sufficient treatment of cystitis the patients need to obtain the competent on time advice of a urologist or gynecologist consultation. The specialists of up to date clinics would offer demanded procedures i.e. laser urological special nozzles, bladder instillation of solutions of silver being the relevant methods of injection of the relevant drugs combined with hydrosulphuric mud which is seen as accelerated mechanism for the healing process of the patient without serious medical intervention. Wide experience of the practice of treating the disease and the annual collaboration with leading urologists in Europe and North America are the key points while considering the clinic and appropriate treatment for such inconvenient kind of disease at any stage of complexity. After passing the basic therapy the patient should remain under the supervision of the attending physician with special treatment procedures still done in order to overcome post recovery sindrome.

General causes of cystitis

The general cause of cystitis may be caused by many factors like infection, allergy, stones and other foreign bodies such as trauma or autoimmune diseases, bladder cancer, radiation therapy and medicinal substances, especially anticancer chemotherapeutic agents. But more often the cause of cystitis is an infection which in the most cases has the bacterial origin but sometimes a viral, fungal or parasitic.
By the nature of the flow distinguish three forms of cystitis:

  • Acute
  • Recurrent
  • Chronic

Acute cystitis develops suddenly like a storm developing within several hours which manifests itself in typical cases of burning and / or tenderness during urination being followed by frequent urgent impulses, pain over the pubis, a slight increase in temperature and nocturia. Often there is a severe pain in the waist, as well, especially for women we notice gross hematuria or in other words blood in urine.

Chronic cystitis is a term which can be misleading since it does not include cases of recurrent acute cystitis where in between of the attacks there may take place weeks or even months of a kind of relief but applies only to this form of the disease in which symptoms persist continuously for many weeks. The basis of chronic cystitis often lies deeper (interstitial) tissue inflammation of the bladder.

How to cure prostatitis

March 27th, 2010 by admin

What is prostatitis? Basically saying it’s inflammation of the prostate so that it goes swelling. This is the most frequent urological disease happening amongst men aged 20-50 years. The believe is such that after 30 years the number of men suffering from prostate accounts to 30% whereas after 40 years the figure comprise 40% of the same and amongst 50 y.o. people it is around 50% which makes people to worry a lot.

How is prostatitis treated and what is the right way for that?

According to the results obtained via clinical and laboratory examination the practicing urologist is the one in charge to offer the complex treatment program, which should include a range of therapeutic measures. In other words, a comprehensive treatment program typically has to include doctor’s recommendations with respect to antibacterial and antiviral therapy i.e. the therapy with drugs that enhance overall vascular tone. Physiotherapy treatments being widely used like magnetic-laser-short-wave therapy or ultrasound therapy and massage procedures are appointed as a course in many cases. Overall, in each case the choice and appropriate method of treatment might vary according to recommendations of urologist.

Main reasons:

1) Infections obtained via sexual contacts i.e. transmitted infections such as: Chlamydia, Ureaplasma, Mycoplasma, herpes virus, cytomegalovirus, Trichomonas, gonococci, fungus genus Candida and Escherichia coli which can infect the urethra and identified in prostate tissue; As you can see the number of reasons for the disease are many and for each case being identified we require somewhat different approach taking into the account it’s specifics.

2) Disruption in the blood circulation relating to the pelvic organs like the stagnation in the prostate leads to its inflammation:

  • Sort of “sitting lifestyle” which is rather common when we talk about drivers or office workers and even government servants;
  • Prolonged sexual abstinence or interrupted coitus, or artificial lengthening of the sexual act.

3) So called frequent hypothermia which is seen common with lovers of extreme recreation i.e. diving, surfing, kayaking, skiing etc.

4) Common stress situations both mental and physical overload experienced more often.

Prostatitis and your potency as a man is always the crucial point to negotiate. The amount of inflammation of the prostate itself does not lead to impotence. However, chronic prostate being left without treatment and taking care of, as well as inflammation of the seed tubercle can lead to the oppression of sexual desire, lack of erection, premature or rapid ejaculation, pain during ejaculation, and so-called “erased” orgasm.

Prostatitis cure

Prostate is commonly seen as a male infertility at the end. One the one hand that is true and among other factors which have to be taken into account are the ones also affecting the prostate on the viability of sperm and in some cases the inflammatory process leads to infertility.

True and false beliefs about prostatitis

It was like a strong believe for many years that prostate is not the thing which can cause a direct threat to the life of the patient and, thus, the disease can be adapted to live separately from you and it is OK. Nowadays, the situation has changed completely since when one of the priorities of modern medicine has been focused upon the quality of life. Recent studies conducted in North America have revealed that chronic prostatitis is one of the most frequent clinically and socially significant diseases. Hence, a mental health in relation to chronic prostatitis suffers no less than the same for other serious somatic diseases, which drastically reduces the quality of life of men. And this was a major impetus for studying this problem.

Another very serious issue is that many doctors were convinced, as some still believe that the cause of all cases of prostate is a chronic infection that needs to be treated with antibacterial drugs. Well, mow it is absolutely proven fact that chronic bacterial prostatitis is a relatively rare disease and occurs only at 10% of all cases of prostatitis.

Another serious problem is the difficulty in diagnosing some forms of prostate, but this is the cause of inadequate and ineffective treatment for such patients, which ultimately leads to frustration of both the patient and doctor.

For example, men with urological masked depression more often become urologists and patients have been treated for many years from a non-existent prostatitis. This point only proves the view of the complexity and futility of treatment of prostatitis. Another common omission is frivolous relationship of chronic prostatitis and erectile dysfunction. Yet, until recently, has not been studied mechanism of erection and standardized methods of diagnosis and treatment of erectile dysfunction, most patients who seek a urologist with special Doctor’s Degree i.e. who passed the examination and treatment of chronic prostatitis. Regarding non-existent disease patient received numerous antibiotics, he regularly massaging the prostate gland and prescribed a variety of physiotherapeutic procedures.

How to cure gastric ulcer (part 2)

March 22nd, 2010 by admin

Ulcer of stomach. Treatment procedures

There are conservative and operative ways of treatment for gastric ulcers as well as duodenal ulcers which one can easily observe in hospitals.

Gastric ulcer cure

Conservative treatment of gastric ulcers and 12 duodenal ulcer differs not much i.e. within 12 to 15 week period most of the gastric ulcer stuff is normally cured successfully and the healing period comes.

What is the conservative treatment of gastric ulcers and duodenal ulcers?

    1. Diet is the first initial instrument in the treatment of ulcers. The patient should set a limit for some kinds of food. The food recommended is aimed to stimulate increased secretion of gastric juice. It is not recommended for dairy products to be consumed since they increase the secretion of acid. Also, you have to remember that things like caffeine and alcohol stimulate secretion of gastric juice also. We recommend having meals 3 times a day with some snacks in between. It is very important also to avoid periods of hunger and overeating. When you are eating or sit please do not get up immediately after the meal i.e. it is better to stay in the same position within an hour or so. It should not be there for 3 hours before bedtime since the food at night can cause nocturnal secretion of gastric juice. Antacids such as drugs, neutralizing acidity etc. should take half an hour time period before eating and 3 hours after. We do not recommend to consume milk as an antacid because it increases the secretion of gastric juice.
    2. Antacids consumed in duration of the treatment of ulcers period should contain chemical compounds, neutralized with hydrochloric acid in the stomach.
    Remember, hydrochloric acid and pepsin (a component of gastric juice) can not digest food. The basic structure of antacids is magnesium or aluminum which is also known as almagel. Quite often, some patients use soda as an antacid which is also not recommended. The first reason for rejection of soda is that excessive consumption of soda leads to accumulation of sodium in the blood and its alkalization. Secondly, the PR and neutralize acid ash produced carbon dioxide, which stretching the stomach and again stimulates the secretion of gastric juice.
    3. The main drugs in the treatment of ulcers are the ones H2 blockers. These drugs block specific cell receptors in the gastric mucosa. This leads to the fact that in response to food intake is reduced reflex selection of hydrochloric acid. Such drugs include, for example, famotidine, ranitidine, and many others.
    4. Blockers Na-K-ATPase are widely used since these drugs reduce the secretion of hydrochloric acid.

H2 blockers

Ranitidine is one of the most effective preparation of H2 blockers for histamine receptors of the stomach. It has wealthy antisecretory effect, reducing the content in gastric secret hydrochloric acid and pepsin, and the levels of secretion in general. The remedy increases the pH of gastric content and duration of ranitidine after a single dose comprise about 12 hours, so that in some cases it can be applied in the schemes of eradication therapy. According to up-to-date studies, the effectiveness of such schemes is close to those in which the use of proton pump blockers.

The drug is produced in tablet form for 150 and 300 mg, as well as a solution for injection (50 mg in ampoule). For the treatment of relapse of gastric ulcer ranitidine is more often used in a dose of 150 mg 2 times a day in the morning and evening. In some cases the dose of 300 mg is also recommended once at night. In duodenal ulcer is more effective dosage of 300 mg 2 times a day (morning and evening). Increasing the dose does not increase the frequency of side effects.

The infectious agent of herpes virus is a specific intracellular parasite. The term “herpes” when translated from the Greek means “creeping”. That means herpes infects human cells by placing its gene unit into them. Therefore, by division of cells the virus is being transmitted to other cells with the whole hereditary information.
