What are adhesions in gynecology

Adhesive disease of the pelvic organs in women is a complication after which fibrinous connective tissue grows between the pelvic and abdominal organs.
In this way, the body tries to protect the source of inflammation - due to excess tissue, the fallopian tubes, uterus, ovary and intestinal loops stick together, pull tightly together, which disrupts their functions. Adhesive processes can be of several types, depending on the “neglect”:

1. Formation of single thin adhesions (synechia).
2. Synechiae become denser, covering up to 50% of the surface of the ovary.
3. The adhesions are dense and numerous, changing the position of organs or causing their deformation.

Adhesions cause pain and disturbances in the functioning of the pelvic organs. They appear after gynecological diseases or operations and can lead to serious complications: ectopic pregnancy, infertility, frequent inflammation and more.

To prevent the occurrence of adhesions, avoid complications and prescribe competent treatment, make an appointment with the doctors of the Doctor A clinic. We employ gynecologists of the first and highest qualification categories

What causes adhesions to form in the pelvis

Inflammation of the pelvic organs. The disease is diagnosed in women who have suffered acute inflammation or suffer from chronic:

• colpitis;
• endometritis;
• andexite;
• parametritis and other diseases.

Operations. Adhesive disease appears in 16% of those operated for the first time and in 96% of women after the third operation. The percentage is high for laparotomy operations:

• appendectomy;
• C-section;
• removal of appendages;
• hysterectomy;
• supravaginal amputation.

Pelvic hemorrhages. The trigger is ovarian apoplexy, bleeding due to a ruptured tube during an ectopic pregnancy.

Endometriosis. The formation of fibrinous ties is provoked by endometrioid growths, which spread to the organs and peritoneum of the pelvis.

Pelvic injuries. Open and closed damage after accidents, falls from a height received at work are one of the reasons for the appearance of adhesions.

Predisposing factors. The occurrence and development of the disease is influenced by:

• invasive gynecological interventions;
• promiscuous sex life;
• late visit to the clinic.

Information about calamus

Common calamus (from Latin Ácorus cálamus) is also called marsh or reed calamus. Belongs to the perennial calamus family. The plant can be found near coastal waters and swamps. Grows on a massive scale in Southeast Asia, North America, Russia, and Europe. In our country, calamus can most often be found in Southern Siberia, the Far East and the European part.

According to scientists, the homeland of calamus is China and India. But since ancient times, thanks to man, the plant was known throughout Asia. The spread of this species was determined by the fact that it grows on the banks of reservoirs, the water of which is suitable for drinking. Therefore, nomadic tribes, traveling, scattered rhizomes by overcoming water and swampy barriers.

The plant came to Russia in the 12th-13th centuries. It was brought by Tatar tribes. They were sure that calamus roots purify water in reservoirs, which becomes suitable for consumption. In order to drink water from an unknown river, the Tatars always carried a calamus root with them and added it to their drink. Calamus has a subtle spicy aroma. It was used as a replacement for bay leaf, cinnamon, and ginger root. The root is used in medicine.

Adhesions in gynecology: symptoms

The adhesive process can be both acute and chronic, or have a periodic nature (with periodic exacerbation of symptoms). Often, women do not notice any symptoms of adhesions in the pelvis, and the disease is discovered only when examining the possible causes of infertility.

Signs of adhesions in the pelvic cavity:

• Painful sensations in the lower abdomen, lower back, above the pubis or in the sacral area;
• Discomfort during physical activity, before menstruation, after stressful situations;
• Pain during sexual intercourse or urination;
• Intestinal disorders: diarrhea, constipation, flatulence;
• Periodic attacks of nausea and vomiting.

Symptoms may worsen when consuming foods that increase gas formation.

Chemical characteristics

The rich composition of this perennial plant allows you to cure diseases of teeth and gums. The ancient Greeks and Romans already knew that calamus helps with toothache and bleeding gums. The rhizome contains:

• complex essential aromatic oils;
• tannins;
• phytoncides;
• starch;
• organic acids;
• tannins;
• resins;
• ascorbic acid;
• palmitic acid;
• iodine;
• aromatic azarinaldehyde;
• macro and micro elements;
• vitamins.

Calamus oil appears as a yellow or light brown liquid. The oil tastes spicy-bitter and smells like a lava leaf. Rhizomes have wound-healing, soothing, and disinfectant effects. In addition, the root can produce an analgesic effect.

Diagnosis of the disease

Diagnosis of adhesions in the pelvis is carried out using various studies:

• Diagnostic laparoscopy. This method can most accurately see adhesions and assess the severity of the process. Diagnosis is carried out under local (or general) anesthesia; a small incision is made through which a camera is inserted.
• Ultrasound of the pelvic organs;
• Hysterosalpingography (performed using X-rays or ultrasound and contrast agents);
• MRI of the pelvic organs.

The necessary examination (or set of examinations) will be prescribed to you by your attending physician.

Calamus root contraindications and side effects

Calamus is unique in its composition and very useful, but there are also contraindications. Proper application and use in the right proportion will give many advantages, while careless use will only harm the body. The medicinal properties are obvious, but it is worth taking into account under what circumstances the use is not permissible:

• intolerance at the individual level;
• allergic reactions;
• period of pregnancy and breastfeeding;
• low blood pressure, since calamus can lower it even further and also reduce the heart rate;
• presence of bleeding of any category;
• kidney ailments.

Neglecting the dosage and rules of administration can cause hallucinations and vomiting. This is primarily due to the strong medicinal qualities of the herbal preparation. This herb requires constant monitoring, and it is best to consult with a therapist or specialist who will give recommendations and examine the patient’s condition. Doctors do not recommend using calamus in tandem with sedatives, as this can cause more disastrous consequences.

How to treat adhesions in the pelvis

What to do if adhesions are found in the pelvis? Depending on the severity of the adhesive process, the doctor will select the appropriate treatment for you.

To treat single thin adhesions in the pelvis in women, drug therapy is used. What is usually prescribed:

• Antibiotics and antimicrobial agents (to relieve inflammation);
• Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (as a pain reliever);
• Fibrinolytic agents (for resorption of adhesions);
• Vitamins and immune system regulators (to restore immune balance);
• Hormonal drugs (in cases where adhesions are caused by endometriosis).

Additionally, physiotherapy, balneotherapy and mud therapy may be prescribed as auxiliary measures.

In more severe forms of adhesive disease, a surgical method is used to treat adhesions in the pelvis, i.e. their dissection. The most gentle surgical procedure is manipulative laparoscopy. To prevent re-formation of adhesions, hyaluronic acid is injected into the surgical area.

Useful properties of the composition for dental treatment

The tincture is effective due to the components it contains. Calamus is an evergreen herbaceous plant with pronounced disinfectant properties. The roots are used as medicinal raw materials. They contain vitamins, microelements, fatty acids, antioxidants, tannins, and essential oils.

Even in ancient times, crushed rhizomes were used to treat purulent wounds and ulcers on the body. Today, calamus is deservedly considered one of the best plants for the prevention and treatment of oral diseases, since:

• has an astringent, disinfecting, anti-inflammatory effect;
• effectively heals ulcers and wounds that appear due to stomatitis;
• relieves bad breath, strengthens teeth during periodontitis;
• eliminates bleeding gums.

The property of calamus is known to be “sealing” the tooth. Regular use of tincture or powder stops the carious process.

Propolis is a traditional beekeeping product. It is rich in flavonoids, resins, tannins, aromatic acids, minerals, enzymes, vitamins A, E, C.

Propolis is actively used to treat wounds, ulcers, and prevent many skin diseases. Bee products are good for teeth because:

• soothes, relieves inflammation and pain;
• reduces sensitivity;
• accelerates the healing of damaged gums;
• destroys germs and prevents the spread of infection;
• removes pus.

Is it possible to get pregnant during adhesions?

Adhesions disrupt the proper functionality of the reproductive organs, which greatly reduces the chance of getting pregnant. There is a chance of pregnancy and its successful gestation, especially in cases where the adhesive process affected only one tube. But the likelihood of conception decreases, and the risk of ectopic pregnancy and miscarriage also increases.

In this case, IVF may help. The fallopian tubes are not involved in such fertilization, and a 3-5-day-old embryo is immediately implanted into the uterine cavity.

Features of application

For dental diseases, mix each tincture in a 50:50 ratio. Take 2 tablespoons of the prepared solution and rinse your mouth for at least two minutes. With daily use, the pain goes away after 3-5 days.

To eliminate the bitter taste of the tincture, you can add 1 tablespoon of water to the prepared recipe.

After rinsing, the mixture is not swallowed, but spat out, as pathogenic bacteria have accumulated in it. It is recommended to rinse before going to bed, as well as when pain occurs, to achieve an anesthetic effect.

After using the product, ulcers located inside the teeth may open on the gums. After the pus comes out, the gums will become healthy again. It is recommended to use the tincture daily for a month.

For children

Calamus and propolis are used with caution for dental treatment in children, as allergic reactions are possible. When rinsing with alcohol-based products, care must be taken to ensure that the child does not accidentally swallow it.

Any home remedy for a child must first of all be approved by a pediatrician, who will determine the course and dosage, as well as the advisability of using the remedy.

For small children, to relieve pain when teething, it is better to prepare decoctions of calamus and propolis in water. They can be stored for no longer than three days. Tampons soaked in the broth are applied to the gums.

During pregnancy and lactation

Pregnant women and nursing mothers can use the tincture as a mouth rinse, but care must be taken to ensure that the product does not get inside.

Alcohol penetrates the placental barrier and into breast milk, which can negatively affect the baby’s condition. To eliminate pain, it is better to use water tinctures of calamus and propolis.

For children and women during pregnancy and breastfeeding, it is safer to use a zabrus (honey seal) for problems with teeth and gums.

Prevention of adhesions

For the prevention and treatment of adhesions, enzyme preparations based on hyaluronidase are used. Perhaps the most popular drug for the treatment of adhesions in gynecology is Longidaza suppositories.

Prevention is mostly aimed at preventing relapses of the disease or before an upcoming operation (since adhesions often appear after them).

Remember that the best prevention is regular visits to the doctor and timely diagnosis. Don’t delay until later and sign up for a pelvic ultrasound or a consultation with a gynecologist.

If you feel acute pain in the abdominal cavity or pelvic organs, do not delay visiting a doctor - prevent the development of the disease. Doctors at the Doctor A clinic will conduct an expert examination and prescribe competent treatment. Call or make an appointment online.

Editor's comment

I would like to say the following on my own behalf. The tincture is quite hot, you need to be patient a little at the beginning of rinsing.

Instead of preparing propolis tincture, I use a ready-made one from a pharmacy (30-50 rubles per bottle).

I use two 25 ml bottles per 0.5 liter of tincture of calamus rhizomes. I first strain the tincture from the roots and mix everything together. I think it's not critical. Although, it is probably preferable to prepare propolis tincture yourself.

As for the growth of new teeth, of course, it’s hard to believe, but to strengthen the health of teeth, the teeth themselves can be very suitable.

I recommend using tinctures when a tooth hurts and for prevention.

If you make powder from eggshells, first remove the thin film from them. Otherwise, it will go rotten and will smell unpleasant for some time. By the way, I read that it is recommended to use the powder with a small amount of lemon juice for better absorption.

Cyst on the root of a tooth

This species grows in the alveolar area and can appear in any area of ​​the gum. There are no symptoms except for tingling when eating or touching. Pain appears in later stages of development. A cyst on the root of a tooth is divided into 3 types:

• Peri-root - appears in the upper part of the root.
• Interroot – formed between the roots.
• Radical - appears near the root canal and over time can cause the growth of a malignant tumor of the jaw (if not properly treated).

Today, not everyone will be able to find and collect calamus, but many still find it and make blanks from it. To make it easier for people, special farms have been created that grow calamus.
