Vaginal Pain Can be Intolerable

January 21st, 2010

When our bodies can not handle too much discomfort due to vaginal pain then the most important thing to do is to take it to the doctor to do his job. Although women are said to be the weaker sex, this can be considered ironic reflecting on the pain she has to go through with the birthing process only to be reciprocated by some undeserving punches by the so-called father after reporting home at the morning. As if this pain is not sufficient, she then has to deal with intolerable in the same wretched organ after the birth either internally or externally.

Vaginal pain is experienced typically during sexual intercourse. A considerable vaginal pain case can be linked to a health problem that would automatically demand medical intervention. I have seen many women suffering bladder problems after giving birth and they have reported having experience dire lower belly pain and lower back pain. This will then progress to the vagina when passing urine or having sexual intercourse. Nonetheless the vaginal pain could be complicated by leading a stressful life style resulting to anxiety and emotional strain. So in fact the major effect of one experiencing vaginal pain is sexual dysfunction which might result to marital infections.

Chronic vaginal pain possible causes of symptoms include ovarian cysts, endometrial and cervical cancers, pelvic inflammatory disease, and uterine fibroid among others. But then when one can exactly spot the parts and after what actions they become very painful then seeing a doctor will be the next important step. There some women who experience extreme pain during their periods in form of cramps. However one experiences severe pain in the pelvic bone, rectal pain during bowel movement, bloody spots on the stool, these should be enough reasons to seek medical intervention.

If by any chance if he blames any vaginal infection for this vaginal pain, then the next step must be the one of treating the underlying causes. One may opt to take the doctor’s prescription in the hospitable, purchase the over the counter medication or decide on what indoor remedy to use. Whichever one chooses the aim should to get better any way. Due to these vaginal infections the victims might experience painful abrasions and pain that automatically results to vaginal pain.

The yogurt is one of the best remedy that could be used to sooth these abrasions and inflammations both externally and internally. It should be easy to apply because one need only to trace a pot of plain yogurt and then dip a tampon there and then inserts it inside. He must also massage some of it over his vaginal walls and the swollen vulva. The other important herbal remedy is garlic that should be inserted as a clove or rubbed to the sores. Others include the cranberries, tree oil, and aloe Vera among others. What is more a woman must discontinue sex when she is experiencing vaginal pain until the symptoms subsides. She must also ensure good hygiene practices so as prevent persistent vaginal infections causing vaginal pain.

Adverse Effects of Arthritis Painkillers and How to Minimize Them

December 15th, 2009

Over the counter painkillers have become a multi-billion dollar business as a result of millions of people suffering from Arthritic joint pain and inflammation. NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) are the most common form of drug treatment for arthritis. Aspirin, acetaminophen and ibuprofen are the best selling NSAID drugs.

Many people rely on NSAID drugs because they quickly reduce arthritic pain and inflammation. However, these pain medications cause serious side effects in the long term. NSAIDs have been found to cause following adverse reactions:

- gastric bleeding and ulcer

- cramps, indigestion and diarrhea

- nausea, vomiting, stomach upset and constipation,

- skin rashes and allergic reactions

- dizziness, nervousness and confusion

The adverse reactions depend on the length of drug use and strength of the dose. Higher doses and long time usage causes more severe side effects. The quick pain relief provided by the NSAIDs quickly plateaus and diminishes with time. As a result, people with severe pain have to keep taking them at short and regular intervals. Such people need to be aware of the adverse effects of NSAIDs and how to minimize them. Following are some helpful tips about NSAID usage:

- always take them with food to minimize stomach problems

- while taking the drugs, drink a full glass of water to prevent stomach irritation

- do not combine two different NSAID drugs

- do not drink alcohol while taking NSAID drugs, it increases the risk of stomach problems

- do not use antacids to relieve stomach problems caused by NSAIDs. It may hide a serious stomach problem

- NSAIDs tend to increase sensitivity to sunlight, try using a high SPF sunscreen for skin protection

In the long term, it is better to reduce the dependence on drugs and resort to other means of arthritic pain & inflammation treatment. Following are some of the guidelines that will help in giving relief from arthritic pain and inflammation:

- Use Hot and Cold packs, they are one of the best and simplest remedy for inflammation pain

- Reduce sugar from the diet

- Calcium/magnesium supplements help in relieving muscle spasms and chronic headaches

Emotional healing and a regular exercise regimen can also help in improving arthritis symptoms.

Emotions such as tension, anxiety, depression, loneliness and anger aggravate the pain by blocking the body’s production of natural painkillers. Therefore, it is very important to control your emotions and achieve mental peace through the use of various techniques such as meditation, aromatherapy, music therapy, etc. These techniques help in separating physical sensations from thoughts and emotions which tend to aggravate the pain. As a person becomes emotionally stable, the pain begins to slowly dissipate.

Exercise plays an important role in arthritis treatment. It improves the circulation, coordination, posture, balance, increases relaxation, strengthens the muscles and improves mood. It also helps in correcting bad posture and incorrect movements, which are among the main causes of chronic pain.
