What is abdominal decompression? For which diseases is it effective, and for which it is contraindicated? Today we will try to reveal all these issues as widely and as accessible as possible for any person.
Thanks to Professor Haines from South America, who in 1959 proposed a vacuum method for treating various diseases (especially gynecological ones) called "abdominal decompression", medicine took another step towards the effective treatment of many diseases. This physiotherapeutic procedure is performed by applying negative pressure to the lower torso, which helps to normalize blood circulation in the abdominal cavity and improve metabolic processes.
In a special pressure chamber, the air pressure is periodically reduced and held for several minutes, then raised again, this cycle is reproduced up to ten times. Similar procedures were performed on pregnant women undergoing outpatient treatment. During the tests revealed the high efficiency of this device. About 86% of pregnant women with complications did not need in-patient treatment and medication.
Also, abdominal decompression is used to treat varicose veins, chronic poisoning, vascular diseases of the extremities, obstetric pathology and other diseases.
The main advantage over traditional treatment:
1. Refusal or reduction of medicinal drugs, which contributes to maintaining the health of the mother and the unborn child;
2. The possibility of outpatient treatment or reduction of time in the case of inpatient.
Abdominal decompression is widely used in maternity hospitals, antenatal clinics, obstetric and gynecological hospitals for the treatment of fetal hypoxia and malnutrition, dysmenorrhea, the threat of miscarriage, infertility, infantilism, gestosis of varying severity.
Abdominal decompression during pregnancy allows you to save it and reduce a woman’s hospital stay in 97% of cases. Local decompression enhances the transfer of metabolites and oxygen, thereby ensuring the proper functioning of the placenta, and eliminates fetal hypoxia. According to doctors, even women at risk (gynecological complications, chronic diseases, late births), but having passed the necessary course of procedures, carried and gave birth to children without complications.
Indications:
· Early toxicosis in pregnant women;
Fetal hypoxia;
Fetal malnutrition;
Late toxicosis;
· risk of miscarriage;
Vascular atherosclerosis, erysipelas of the lower extremities, varicose veins;
· The inflammatory process of the internal genital organs;
· Radiation and toxic lesions, drug and alcohol addiction, constipation, liver disease, weight correction.
Contraindications:
Hypertension of the 3rd stage;
Oncology;
· infectious diseases;
Severe bleeding during pregnancy;
Acute inflammatory diseases;
Acute peptic ulcer disease;
Thrombophlebitis.
Ultrasound abdominal. Study preparation
An abdominal ultrasound of the bladder is done on an empty stomach. A few days before the examination, you must adhere to a certain diet: restrict the intake of foods with a high fiber content - fruits, juices, vegetables, dairy products. These days apply fermented preparations and activated carbon.
Special preparation is not needed for gynecological transabdominal ultrasound of the bladder and Doppler blood flow, in the I, II, III trimesters of pregnancy, studies of the adrenal glands and kidneys, as well as examination of the lymph nodes, mammary glands, thyroid gland, penis, scrotum, prostate gland.
Exact information on this subject can only be given by a doctor during an examination.
