The most effective hemostatic drugs for uterine bleeding

In the life of almost every woman, such problems happen when she needs hemostatic drugs for uterine bleeding. A sufficient amount of such drugs is used in modern gynecology to, in each case, maximally effectively help the patient maintain both health and life.

Dysfunctional uterine bleeding: why and why?

The problems of the female body in the vast majority of cases make themselves felt not only by painful sensations, but also by the appearance of spotting in the wrong time or in the wrong volume. This is because the woman’s uterus is a muscle organ pierced by blood vessels. Inflammatory processes, neoplasms of the female genital area, as well as hormonal disruptions, become bleeding activators in women of any age. Separately, we can single out the problems of miscarriage - spontaneous abortion and the threat of miscarriage, accompanied by uterine bleeding. Also, dysfunctional vaginal discharge can be one of the symptoms of disorders in the work or condition of other organs and systems - hypothyroidism, blood coagulation, liver disease, side effects of certain medications. Hemostatic drugs are often used for uterine bleeding in case of myoma, because this problem is directly related to a functional disorder of the female reproductive system and often manifests itself as abnormal discharge.

Any (with a deviation from the norm) spotting in a woman requires a mandatory visit to a specialist. Severe bleeding can develop in a short time and cause death.

An integrated approach to solving the problem

A mandatory group of drugs that are in every gynecological department of hospitals is hemostatic drugs for uterine bleeding. The list of them is quite extensive, since such a problem with a woman’s health requires an integrated approach to solving it. So with dysfunctional discharge, specialists take several directions of therapy:

• stopping bleeding;
• finding and fixing the cause of the problem;
• blood replacement therapy;
• rehabilitation therapy;
• selection of means for the prevention of bleeding relapse.

Which of the drugs or methods to prefer in a particular case, the specialist decides. Women need to remember that dysfunctional bleeding is always a formidable symptom of serious health problems, which in no case should be left without qualified assistance.

Aminocaproic acid

Faced with a certain kind of problems, many women are looking for information on which effective hemostatic drugs can be used for uterine bleeding. Here it must be remembered that only a competent specialist can correctly stop dysfunctional secretions and establish their cause. Quite often, to stop the bleeding, doctors prescribe such a substance as aminocaproic acid. It is part of the pharmacological group of fibrinolysis inhibitors. Medicines based on this component work like this.

Once in the bloodstream, aminocaproic acid inhibits the production of fibrinolysin by inhibiting the activators of profibrinolysin, the kinases involved in fibrinolysis processes. At the same time, this substance potentiates platelet production. With this action, aminocaproic acid has a systemic hemostatic effect, which is the main important property that hemostatic drugs should have in case of uterine bleeding. In medicine, the active substance itself is mainly used in the form of a solution for infusion, also as a powder for the preparation of a solution for oral administration.

Aminomethylbenzoic acid

Some hemostatic drugs for uterine bleeding contain an active component such as aminomethylbenzoic acid. It acts as an inhibitor of fibrolysis by inhibiting the production of plasminogen proenzyme and, accordingly, plasmin protein that destroys fibrin clots. By its action, this medicinal substance contributes to the deposition of fibrin, clogging small vessels, which helps to stop bleeding. Experts take into account that aminomethylbenzoic acid is contraindicated during pregnancy. It is used in drugs such as Amben injection, Gumbix tablets and tablets, and Pamba tablets.

Menadione Sodium Bisulfite

Many women who are faced with dysfunctional secretions of the female genital area are familiar with the drug "Vikasol", used both as a solution for intramuscular injection, and in the form of tablets. This medicine, like many other strong hemostatic drugs for uterine bleeding, contains sodium menadione bisulfite as an active component. This substance belongs to the pharmacological group of coagulants, hemostatics. His main work is to activate the production of factors II, VII, IX, X by the liver - the so-called prothrombin complex. The substance itself is a homologue of vitamin K, which is directly involved in the production of K-vitamin-dependent plasma components of hemostasis. In pharmacies, you can mainly buy the drug "Vikasol" in the form of tablets or solutions for intramuscular injection from different manufacturers.

Tranexamic acid

In any gynecological hospital, hemostatic drugs are mandatory for uterine bleeding during pregnancy. One of the most effective substances used in these medicines is tranexamic acid. This substance is a fibrinolysis inhibitor that prolongs thrombin time by inhibiting the production of plasminogen. Medicines with tranexamic acid as an active component are used not only in gynecological practice, but also for the treatment of bleeding such as epistaxis, gastrointestinal, pulmonary, in the treatment of allergic diseases manifested by dermatitis, eczema, rash, urticaria. Preparations with this active component are produced by different manufacturers under various trade names in the form of tablets and injectable solutions. The most famous and often used are Tranexam, Troxaminate, and Stagemin.

Etamsylate

Due to certain circumstances, women have to use hemostatic drugs for uterine bleeding. Pills are considered one of the most convenient outpatient therapies. Often, the specialist prescribes drugs that work on the basis of etamzilate - coagulant, hemostatic, microcirculation corrector and angioprotector. Such a wide range of functionality of this substance has allowed the pharmaceutical industry to produce drugs based on it that help people cope with many health problems. One of the areas of etamzilate activity is the fight against uterine bleeding. The best known drug that uses etamsylate is Dicinon. Under this name, in pharmacies you can buy pills. In the form of a solution for injection, a drug is used that has the name of the most active substance. Tablets are taken with meals and washed down with a little water.

Calcium and its derivatives

Oddly enough, this may sound, but calcium is one of the components that can be part of hemostatic drugs for uterine bleeding. The injections used in gynecological practice may contain derivatives of this chemical element - gluconate or chloride. If the doctor chooses these substances as the hemostatic preparation, then it should be remembered that calcium chloride cannot be administered intramuscularly, since tissue necrosis occurs at the injection site. But then, starting the course of treatment with the introduction of a calcium-containing drug intravenously or intramuscularly, therapy can be continued in the form of tablets. A feature of injections with substances such as calcium chloride or calcium gluconate is the emerging sensation of heat, which disappears after a few minutes. Calcium preparations have a fairly wide spectrum of action, since the natural substance itself is an obligatory participant in a large number of processes that occur in the human body.

Oral contraceptives

Quite often in gynecological practice, oral contraceptives are used to stop uterine bleeding. These include the combined preparations Marvelon, Rigevidon, Non-Ovlon, Mercilon and some others. These drugs actively normalize the hormonal cycle of the female genital area, and they are often used as hemostatic drugs for uterine bleeding. Tablets that a woman needs to take in a particular case will be selected only by a specialist who has compared the general condition of the patient’s body, the cause of bleeding, the degree of blood loss and other important factors.

Drugs that affect the menstrual cycle should be taken only on the recommendation of a doctor, as their improper use can aggravate the situation and cause profuse bleeding.

Hormonal drugs

Often, in order to cope with women's health problems, doctors prescribe certain hormonal preparations for use, which include substances such as oxytocin, gifotocin, pituitrin. They have the ability to contract the uterus, which positively affects the development of homeostasis. Hormonal hemostatic drugs are especially often used for uterine bleeding with menopause or the threat of miscarriage, as well as in the postpartum period. These funds contribute to the normalization of the state of the female organ, but it is impossible to use them independently without a doctor’s prescription.

Assistive therapy

In addition to hemostatic drugs, for uterine bleeding, women are shown auxiliary therapy, which includes two areas of drugs:

• antianemic drugs to restore hemoglobin levels;
• vasoconstrictors and vitamin-mineral complexes that contribute to the normalization of homeostasis.

The first group includes blood components, which are administered, if necessary, intravenously, and iron-containing tablets such as "Fenyuls", "Maltofer". The second group includes drugs with rutin, ascorbic and folic acid, pyridoxine and cyanocobalamin, which help strengthen the walls of blood vessels, activate and normalize blood formation processes.

Herbal preparations

Traditional medicine is one way to stop dysfunctional discharge in women. Some plants, which have long been used by the people for this purpose, have laboratory-proven efficacy, and their extracts or dry parts can be purchased in pharmacy chains.

At home, you can use hemostatic drugs for heavy uterine bleeding based on tincture of water pepper. This plant is also called the mountaineer pepper. It grows almost throughout Russia in places where there is a lot of moisture - wetlands, banks of rivers and lakes. It found a large number of biologically significant substances for the human body, which allowed this plant to become popular in the treatment of many diseases, including uterine bleeding. The easiest way to buy a tincture of "Water Pepper" in a pharmacy is that it can be attributed to the group of inexpensive hemostatic drugs for uterine bleeding. You can take the medicine as prescribed by your doctor: 10 drops of the drug in half a glass of water and drink 3-4 times a day before meals.

Another plant in demand in the treatment of gynecological bleeding is dioica nettle. Yes, few in childhood, burning on green carved leaves, could imagine that nettle has a huge number of useful properties, including vitamin K, which is so important for normal homeostasis and metabolic processes. Nettle can be dried on its own, having prepared it for the future, and can be purchased already in dry form in pharmacies. Brew it for the preparation of hemostatic infusion as follows:

• 1 tablespoon of crushed raw materials should be filled with a glass of hot water;
• insist under the lid for half an hour;
• then wring out.

Take the medicine should be half a glass 3-5 times a day. Nettle-based drugs cannot be drunk for a long time, as this can trigger the development of thrombosis.

Shepherd’s bag is another plant on the basis of which hemostatic preparations for uterine bleeding can be prepared at home. It, like nettles, can be purchased at pharmacies or procured in the summer for future use. The infusion is prepared in the same way as the infusion of nettle - take 1 cup of boiling water on a tablespoon of dry grass, insist and squeeze. Take this medicine should be 1 tablespoon 3-5 times a day for a while before meals.

Many herbalists recommend using herbs to stop uterine bleeding and normalize the menstrual cycle. For example, this:

• oak bark (ground);
• yarrow (grass);
• shepherd’s bag (grass).

All components are taken in equal proportions, carefully crushed and mixed. Then the collection, at the rate of 1 tablespoon, is poured with hot water in an amount of 0.5 cups, covered with a lid and put in a water bath for 30 minutes. Cool the infusion in air at room temperature. Then filter and squeeze through cheesecloth. The resulting medicine is taken in tablespoons - one 3-4 times a day.

Another effective collection consists of the following components:

• Stinging nettle;
• shepherd’s bag;
• burnet;
• yarrow;
• St. John's wort

They are mixed in equal proportions and brewed, like the previous medicine. In addition to the fact that the resulting infusion has a hemostatic effect, it also helps to fight inflammation in the female genital area, and also compensates for the lack of vitamins and minerals.

Uterine bleeding, whatever it is, is very dangerous. At the first signs of dysfunctional vaginal discharge, a woman needs to see a doctor as soon as possible in order to establish the cause of the problem and solve it in a qualitative manner.
