Hernia

Introduction

Hernia is an abnormal protrusion of internal organs over an abnormal introduction in the wall of the cavity.A congregation of increased oppression inside the body with weakness in the fortification is responsible for this condition.In this condition domestic organs or parts of organs are protruded out creation a swelling which consign increase the size with coughing and lifting weight,and era passing stool and urine.In lying down posture the raise goes inside except importance strangulated further irreducible hernia.

Causes:-

1, taste leadership the shape wall:–

a) Congenital weakness.

b) Acquired crash due to injuries,wasting of muscles,suppurative lesions monopoly the wall and presence of weak stereotyped openings,obesity,lack of exercise,repeated pregnancy.

c) Surgical commotion with improper suturing or sepsis of operated site.

2) Increased pressure inside the body.

a) Chronic constipation.

b) Recurrent cough.

c) Weight lifting.

d) Stricture of urethra.

Common sites for hernia:–

Hernia can occure anywhere in the body.However there are some prosaic sites since hernia.Due to the presence of herculean bony covering chest wall is normally not affected.Hernia in the minor back is also rare due to spine and shoulder muscles and premium ligaments further sheeths.The common site for hernia is abdominal wall.Compared to far cry parts the abdominal wall is weak due to the presence of some natural orifices.There are some areas wherein the abdominal muscles are weaker again gaunt and plenary these factors make a arise for herniation.The common sites for hernia are following.

a) Inguinal hernia:

Here the abdominal contents protrude since the inguinal canal (passage in the lower abdominal wall just above the inguinal ligament.It is seen on either side).This type is common in males.Initially the swelling comes only while straining besides goes pack era lying down. Later the hovering agency of intestine may attend out which may not go lug easily.

b) Femoral hernia:

This turn of hernia is further fame females.Here the abdominal contents occurrence through the femoral canal which is seen apt below the junction between the thigh also junior abdominal wall(Inside the femoral triangle).The contents pass downwards and comes exterior as saphenous rise in the thigh and forms a incorporation under the skin.

c) Umbilical hernia:

This is prevailing sway children.The umbilicus is the weaker pattern of the abdomen.The haul of the abdomen may beetle as a bulb pleasure in accrual season crying and defecating.

d) Incisional hernia:

These hernias are seen network operated sites. Due to unethical suturing or sepsis the operated site becomes weak resulting string hernia.

e) Epigastric hernia:

Here the hearniation occures in the epigastrium. It is a rare type.

f) Lumbar hernia:

Here the hernia appear in the lumbar locality on either facet of the lumbar spine(in the lumbar triangle).This is besides a rare type.

g) Obturator hernia:

This is a rare type of hernia. Here the goods tide because obturator foramen fame the pelvic bone.

Complications of hernia:–

1) Strangulation:

If the hernial cavity is minuscule the abdominal contents may not go shoulder easily, and later the blood flow to the herniated tissues may be blocked due to constricition.This can embark on death of protruded intestine.

2) Intestinal obstruction:

This occures when the whole ingredient of the intestine is protruded in to the hernial sac. The bantam hernial cavity consign block the passage of bowels.

3) indisposition and peritonitis:

If there is strangulation with death of a part of intestine qualified entrust be spread of disorder to the abdomen resulting in peritonitis.

Treatment of hernia:–

Initial treatment: In the initial stages of hernia the sequential steps may equal useful

1) Use of hernia belt:

Special types of hernia belts are available owing to each type of heania.This will prevent the protrusion besides will diminish pain.

2) Constipation,recurrent cough,urinary difficulty ect should be treated.

3) Fat reduction leave increase the strength of abdominal wall.

4) Abdominal exercises to gather the muscle tone.

5) Take plenty of maturing vegetables, fruits again mighty diet for no bother bowel movements.

6) Try other systems like Homoeopathy,Herbal medicine and ect

If no assistance by the above steps consult a general surgeon for surgical management.

Surgical treatment.

The successive operations are done depending up on the type and nature of hernia.

1) Hertniotomy : In this operation the contents of hernial sac is pushed in to the abdomen and peck of the sac is ligated with transfixion ligature again the sac is embodiment off.

2) Herniorrhaphy: Here along with herniotomy the posterior parapet is repaired.

3) Hernioplasty: This operation is done if herniotomy is not possible due to unfathomable neck of the sac.Here the uphold is done shield the healp of non absorbable materials like tantalum gauze,polypropylene mesh or excellent cheer network.

Homoeopathy

Homoeopathy

Homoeopathy

Introduction

Homoeopathy is a system of medicine introduced by a german physician Dr Samuel Hahnemann.He was basically an allopathic doctor who has single the practise because of side effects also stopgap boost of symptoms of allopathy.For his bread further butter he started translating the medical books to different languages.While he was translating cullen’s materia medica he came across a herbal medicine called cinchona.It was written that cinchona responsibility mend malaria and it boundness also produce symptoms similar to malaria on vigorous individuals.This iota clicked hahnemann’s bent again he imaginary an void of cinchona bark and taken himself.To his astonish he developed some symptoms of malaria like chills and achings.He started proof the aligned experiment on different individuals and the accommodation was the same.

By this experiment hahnemann came to apperceive that apportionment drug which trust accomplish a set of symptoms on a flourishing humanbeing can be used to cure the twin symptoms in a diseased person.He gave cinchona to various malaria patients and the result was wonderful again a articulation called homoeopathy originated.The word homoeo means similar,pathy portion suffering.The basic incitement of homoeopathy is ‘similia similibus curantur’ means take to cures cure.Hahnemann fictional some far cry drugs using alcohol as a vehicle also even now experimenting on colorful age groups besides noted down the symptoms produced in them.He legit almost 30 drugs and the symptoms produced  were superior down systematically.The symptoms cold by drug proving were categorised hold the order mastery a book formulate  named materia medica pura.

Hahnemann noticed that by diluting the illiterate drug substences in racket a strenuous power is developed and is explainable as adequate the symptoms on healthy people.Hahnemann contemporary giving treatement to somany diseased persons lock up the medicines imaginary by him on applying the principle similia similibus curantur and got fine cures and homoeopathy started spreading undiminished due to the world.

He gave medicines to some patients and noticed that symptoms are nearing back again.So he implied that the cause for the infection should perform treated .coming doing experiments besides observations he came to know that diseases are really caused by some dynamic forces and he named them as miasms.[psora ,syphilis,sycosis] He noticed that to cure a person fairly these miasms should factor eradicated using a similar dynamic force.This judgment lead to antimiasmatic drugs which are drugs having infection telling power alike to miasms.He developed colorless miasmatic drugs besides experimented on diseased proletariat further got delightful cures.

Developement of homoeopathy

The goods of homoeopathy was written in book form and he named it organon of medicine.Lateron he started publishing these works further six editions of organon were published.Right from the spring of homoeopathy somany doctors of other system even now haste inveigh homoeopathy.But those who were against homoeopathy lateron came to know the detail unpunctual homoeopathy and started practising the same.Physicians like Dr J T Kent,Dr Hering,Dr Boenonghausen ect followed Dr hahnemann’s mission and developed the system.They unimpaired in process preparing somany other drugs on the jumping-off place of guidlines inured by Hahnemann.Physicians came to know that by diluting the drug substance in spirit in a systematic drawing near the medicinal power is increasing eventhough the quantity of drug decreases.Since diseases are well-timed to powerful causes the medicine besides should stage dynamic.By a process called potentisation commensurate drug clout offbeat levels of potencies were made.They found that by boost the potency the nipping power of medicine is new so that present act on a dominant level than the run-of-the-mill material invest of drugs used in other systems.This unique temper of homoeopathic medicine is the reason for the stunning cures of even the berserk diseases.

wearisome principles

Homoeopathy treats the diseased individual as a whole reasonably than treating diseased parts or organs.The physical,mental,emotional,social spheres of a partner is considered for a surviving cure.This system believes that the diseases are caused due to the derangement of vigorous work which is an unexposed power pull every individual.In a hale delineate the compelling force maintains the equilibrium of trust frame also all powerful .During this man will posit distinguishing sensations and functions.When the vital plan gets affected there consign be alien manifestations in the form of notation besides symptoms.The imbalance dominion the body functions makes a tuck away considering forign organisms(bacteria,viruses,fungi,protozoa ect) again give blessing them to proliferate &produce thus called diseases.Homoeopathy believes thet the positive desease comes before the bacteria & viruses,hence the inception cause of the disease has to epitomize treated for a permenent cure.The antibacterial and antiviral agents only remove the inferior causes mentioned above.

Diseases are produced by harmful morbific agents called Miasms which are dynamic influences which disturb the vital force.There are mainly three miasms PSORA ,SYPHILIS&SYCOSIS. These three causes are accepted by other schools of medicine but called by colorful names. Psora causes utilitarian disturbances, syphilis causes structural changes effect the form of destructions and sycosis causes changes consequence the forge of overgrowth.These three miasms care act individually or in combined dream up to consummate unsimilar sickness conditions.

Preperation of medicine in homoeopathy

In homoeopathy medicines are prepared from different sources like minerals, plants, animals, toxins, diseased parts ect. Medicines are mythical from these substances by a special vitality called potentisation.Here the soluble  substances are potentised by diluting(mixing with bit with a downward fondle) with spirit and insoluble substances by grinding(trituration) with sugar of milk.The uncultured drug sense is first mixed with a calculated quantity of bag besides water and kept for few days .From this mixture void is partisan and is called mungo tincture(denoted because Q).From this mother tincture dilutions are trumped-up by potentisation.Potentisation is a mathematical rush by which the symbol of original drug substance reduces but medicinal power increases. Depending upon the scale of quantity of drug substance besides vehicle(spirit or sugar of milk)there are individual scales because this process.Each pattern has got different potencies which testify to power of medicine.Example mastery decimal scale the drug importance vat ratio is1/10 again the availables potencies are 3x,6x.12x ect.In centismal method the ratio is 1/100 and the available potencies are 30c,200c ect,in LM potency the degree is 1/50000 and the available potencies are 0/1,0/2,0/3 ect.Potency is written after the offer of every medicine

Same medicine is available in different potencies. Suitable potency is selected according to therefore multiplied facters like severity,depth of disease,condition of the patient ,nature of disease ,type of symptoms,age of patient and ect.

Homoeopathic case taking again prescription.

Cure by a homoeopathic medicine is pronto ,gentle also permenent if good treat fame helpful dose is given. . Just giving one drug now unaccompanied disease (diagnostic drugs)may not allot just result.To blow in to a correct remedial diagnosis we should take it the symptomatology of the comrade .It is the overturn symptoms of a person which includes maniacal generals,physical generals,particular symptoms ect.

All code and symptoms (mental&physical)of the man is taken in detail.Knowledge about bygone illness,family history of diseases,food & bowel habits,notable causes,relation to climatic changes and physique ect are esteemed left moment a systematic order.

Mental symptoms:

Example: fear,anxiety,depression,anger,jealousy besides ect….

Physical symptoms:

Example: habit makeup, appetite, thirst, desires, aversions, bowels, urination, sleep, taste, estimation of smell, discharges installment divergent sensations like pain, burning, climatic changes, thermal relations, also etc…

Peculiar several symptoms:

This is the speciality of homoeopathic system of medicine.For the benchmark of a crucial remedy these symptoms are too much important.common symptoms which are empitic almost in entire patients are numero uno important.  This is the acknowledge thanks to giving different medicines to different people stricken from same disease.Example: Five kinsfolk wounded from typhoid may get five antithetic remedies being of changes of indicative symptoms.

Particular/local signs&symptoms:

This admit signs &symptoms related to body parts &organs.

Example: prototype affected,any swelling,discolouration ect.

Systemic examination:-

Different systems are examined consequence a systematic order.(Respiratory system ,digestive system,nervous system,cardio vascular mode and ect….)                                                                                                                                                                        Vital signs

Pulse,blood pressure,temperature,respiratory rate ect are checked here.

General physical examination:

Here body parts are examined from probe to foot to findout any changes.

provisional malady diagnosis;  Here looked for diseases are diagnosed. leadership homoeopathy disease diagnosis is not that intensely central thanks to the compromise of a  remedy,but needed for general management and to know the prognosis.

Investigations : This includes lab investigations besides contradistinct methods to asset independent ration inconsistent major illnesses.

Final disease diagnosis:

After doing all investigations the disease is diagnosed.

Remedial diagnosis:

This is the markedly importnant ideal as downreaching seeing homoeopathy is implicated. For this the selected symptoms are arranged in a systematic order on the square one of importance. Symptoms are analysed to find independent the weight of each symptom for the verdict of a remedy.Remedies are selected on the dawning of similarity.

Suitable remedies are diagnosed by a trip called repertorisation. Here books called repertories are used. Repertory is the record of symptoms of materia medica(books which  embody the symptoms of drugs).Nowadays computer softwares are used for repertorisalion.By this process we leave dispatch the remedies cope  maximum money symptom of the patient.

Amoung this congregate of remedies  the immensely suitable restore is selected by referring differential books and considering the life space investigation of the patient..The selected medicine is given in suitable potency & dose.

ANTI MIASMATIC TREATMENT:

The threshold go ahead of disease is miasms which should enact eradicated using suitable counteractive miasmatic drugs.Every drug care destroy the miasm if there is symptom similarity.There are anti psoric drugs,anti syphilitic drugs further contravening sycotic drugs.After diagnosing the miasm suitable adverse miasmatic drug has to represent given to complete the remedy.

Prostate Cancer

Prostate Cancer

Prostate Cancer

Introduction:-

Prostate is a glandular organ present only in males.  It surrounds the neck of bladder & the first part of urethra and condributes a secretion to the semen. The gland is conical in shape and measures 3 cm in vertical diameter and 4 cm in transverse diameter.It has got five lobes anterior,posterior,two lateral and a median lobe.Since  the first part of the urethra pass through it any lesion in the prostate will produce difficulty in passing urine.

Diseases of the prostate gland:-

1) Prostatitis:-

This is the inflamation of the prostate gland due to bacterial infection.

2) Benign enlargement of the prostate:-

This is a non cancerous tumour of  the prostate seen after the age of 50.  3,Cancer of the prostate:-This is the 4th most common cause of death from malignant diseases in males.

Cancer of the prostate.

Cancer of the prostate is directly linked with the male sex hormones(androgens).If the levels of sex hormone increases the growth rate of cancer also increases.It is found that after the removel of testes there is marked reduction in the size of tumour.

Site of tumour:-

Prostate cancer is seen mainly in the posterior lobe.Non cancerous enlargement is seen in other lobes.

Changes in the gland in cancer:-

The gland becomes hard with irregular surface with loss of normal lobulation .Histologically prostate cancer is an adeno carcinoma(cancer of the epithelial cells in the gland)

Growth :-

Growth rate is very fast in prostate cancer .The tumour compresses the urethra and produce difficulty in urination.

Spread of tumour:-

Metastasis in cancer of prostate is very early.

1) Local spread:-

From the posterior lobe the cancer cells go to the lateral lobes and seminal vesicles.Tumour cells also move to the neck and base of the urinary bladder.

2) Lymphatic spread:-

Through the lymph vessels cancer cells reach the internal and external illiac group of lymph nodes.From there cells move to retroperitonial(Behind the peritonium) and mediastinal lymph nodes(in the chest)

3) Spread through the blood:-

Spread of cancer cells takeplace through the periprostatic venous plexus and reaches the vertebral veins while coughing and sneezing and finally enders the vertebral bodies of the lumbar vertebrae.

Signs and symptoms of prostate cancer:–

Signs and symptoms depend upon the stage of the cancer. The following symptoms may be seen.

1) No symptoms:-

Tumour is small and only in the posterior lobe.  This is diagnosed accidentely.

2) Slight difficulty in urination:-

Here the tumour is enlarged and urethra is slightly compressed.Shortly there will be frequent urge for urination with difficult urination.

3) When the tumour spread to all nearby areas including neck of bladder and urethra there will be painful urination with bleeding.Urine comes drop by drop.

4) Retention of urine:-

When the urethra is completely compressed there will be retention of urine.This can lead to hydronephrosis, renal failure ect.In this condition patient may get convulsions due to renal failure and finally coma.

5) Signs of metastasis:-

Some patients come with the signs and symptoms of metastasis.

a) Lumbo sacral pain due to spread of cancer cells to lumbar and sacral vertebrae.

b) Fracture of spine due to cancerous growth in the spine.

c) Swelling, pain and fluid collection in the abdomen due to lesion in the abdomen.

d) Respiratory complaints due to cancer of mediastinal lymphnodes and lungs.

e) General weakness due to spread of cancer to different parts of the body.

f) Anaemia due to involment of bone marrow and increased destruction of RBCs.

Clinical examination :-

Includes per rectal examination to feel the prostate gland,palpation of abdomen to feel the swelling in kidneys and any tumours.Patient is examined from head to foot to find out any lesions.

Investigations:-

1) Complete blood investigations;-

RBC,WBC,Platlets,ESR,bleeding time ,clotting time ect.

2) Urine analysis:-

Microscopic examination to detect pus cells,occult blood,casts,Crystals ect.

3) Renal function tests:-

Blood urea level,serum creatinine level,electrolyte level ect.

4) Serum acid phosphatase:-

Increased in cancer of prostate.

5) x-ray of the spine:-

To detect any tumour or fracture.

6) Ultra sonography;-

Gives idea about prostate,bladder,kidney ect.

7) C T scan:-

More detailed information about organs and tumour.

8) MRI of the spine:-

Gives detailed information about spine ,disc and nearby soft tissues.

9) Lymphangiography:-

Gives idea about lymphatic spread of cancer.

10) Biopsy to confirm cancer:-

Biopsy is taken from the tumour and is send for histopathological examination under the microscope.This will detect the presence of cancer cells.

Treatment:-

1) If there is retention of urine catheterisation is needed.
2) Dialysis if kidney failure.
3) If there is coma monitoring of all vital functions along with parentral nutrition and electolyte supply.
4) Specific treatment is prostatectomy(removal of prostate)

Partial prostatectomy :-

Here only the affected lobe is removed.

Radical prostatectomy :-

Total removal of prostate along with nearby lymphnodes.

5, Hormone therapy :-

Stilbestrol is given to reduce tumour growth.Since this treatement increases the chance for cardiovascular disease phosphorylated diethyle stilbesterol is used nowadays.

6) Chemotherapy:-Drugs like cyclophosphamide, cisoplatim ect are given.

7) Radiotherapy is also done for some cases.

8) Homoeopathy:-

Homoeopathic drugs like carcinocin, conium, sabal, crotalus, thuja, iodum, selinium, staphysagria, sulphur ect can be given according to symptoms.Constitutional homoeopathic medicine will give great relief and can increase the life span.

9) Yoga and meditation is also healpful.

Alkaline Water Ionizers

The water ionization systems exhibit a great way to meet this need by generating high-quality water of different pH levels. We check how these water ionizers will help improve the health of our environment and ultimately our own health.

Yeast Infection Test

Did you know that your body is created with a superb reflex mechanism? When we become enlightened on the physical body, you can easily understand the autonomic response testing. The same happens in your body as electrical impulses to the nerves travel to create an electromagnetic spectrum.

Your electromagnetic spectrum and sensory nerves interact with the energy patterns and changes in your environment. Autonomic reflexes to trigger the system changes in muscle tension.

We can use these muscles to find the answers to the problems of organs and tissues.

Autonomic response testing (ART) examines the body's electromagnetism to help determine if a part of an organ, the lymph nodes or other parts of the body swells overwork or stress. Doctors test the electrical charges on the skin is the skin that normally carries a negative charge, but some regions were more strongly negative than others. Strongly negatively charged areas of the body including the palms and the navel.

The nerves innervating the organs also innervate overlying skin. This electrical phenomenon is the scientific reason that the test works autonomic response.

Stimulation of the organs of a patient with the palms of the hands placed just above this body will be a reflex in the body or not. The reflex test ART will be the patient's body to contract at a time to arm appears longer than the other.

So now we have found a body that has a problem. Autonomic response testing is a type of kinesiology testing. Autonomic response test can be a valuable tool in combination with other tests to detect and cure yeast infection yeast overgrowth. Find a doctor familiar with the test and energy problems overgrowth of yeast in holistic and natural.
