Bleeding from the uterus is a rather serious pathology, which can be determined by a variety of reasons and provoke anemia or a violation of blood coagulation. Uterine bleeding is observed with gynecological diseases, pregnancy pathology, or as a complication in the postpartum period, with injuries, and hematopoiesis. The cause may be an imbalance between the functioning of the hypothalamus, pituitary and ovaries. Favorable factors include overwork, hypovitaminosis, disorders in the thyroid gland or adrenal glands. Juvenile uterine bleeding can be triggered by infectious diseases.
Traditional treatment for uterine bleeding
Therapy is carried out in 2 stages: first, the blood from the uterus is stopped, and then measures are taken to prevent repeated bleeding and regulate the menstrual cycle. With this complication, before the doctor arrives, an ice bladder should be placed on the stomach and the patient should be laid on a flat horizontal surface. When uterine bleeding occurs, treatment includes hemostasis, which is carried out taking into account the general condition of the patient and the amount of blood loss. So, in patients with moderate anemia and no signs of endometrial hyperplasia, only symptomatic therapy is performed.
Uterine bleeding
It includes the use of drugs that cause uterine contractions (for example, Oxytocin), as well as hemostatic agents (Dicinon, Vikasol, Ascorutin, and Aminocaproic acid). If significant uterine bleeding is observed, treatment should take into account hemoglobin levels. If it is below 70 g / l, then a red blood cell transfusion is performed.
To achieve the maximum effect, pharmacotherapy is combined with physiotherapeutic methods, which include the influence of sinusoidal modulated currents, as well as the use of acupuncture and electropuncture. In order to prevent repeated bleeding, vitamin therapy courses are carried out and low doses of synthetic progestins or gestagens are prescribed (Novinet, Logist, Silest, Dufaston or Norkolut are used).
Uterine bleeding: surgical treatment
If massive bleeding from the uterus is diagnosed, which leads to a sharp anemia and hypovolemia, a separate diagnostic curettage is shown, which is carried out under the control of hysteroscopy. It should be remembered that in case of bleeding disorders, surgical therapy for uterine bleeding is not used. This treatment method is usually used in the treatment of postmenopausal women. When uterine bleeding occurs with menopause, treatment should be prescribed only by a doctor.
This pathology responds well to therapy if curettage is combined with hormone treatment. In adolescents and patients of reproductive age who have not yet given birth, diagnostic curettage is performed according to vital indications.
Alternative treatment of uterine bleeding
Of the medicinal plants with uterine bleeding, nettle, yarrow, knotweed, as well as viburnum, cedar, and water pepper are most often used. As a rule, take decoctions or tinctures that require clear dosing. When uterine bleeding is observed, treatment should be carried out immediately. It should be remembered that massive blood loss can pose a threat to life, so self-treatment with folk remedies is unacceptable.
