शरीर में कई तरह के भीतरी अंग होते हैं जो हमारे शरीर को सुचारु रूप से चलाने में मदद करते हैं। शरीर में मौजूद इन अंगों का अपना एक अलग कार्य होता है। शरीर में ऐसा ही एक अंग होता है मूत्राशय, जो शरीर के विषाक्त पदार्थों या अपशिष्ट को शरीर से बाहर निकालने में सहयोग करता है। व्यक्ति के लिए मूत्राशय को स्वस्थ रखना बहुत जरूरी होता है।

तो चलिए आज आपको कुछ ऐसे तरीके बताते हैं, जो आपको मूत्राशय को स्वस्थ रखने में आपकी काफी सहायता करते हैं। हालांकि इसके पहले आप यह जान लीजिये कि यह मूत्राशय होता क्या है और क्या काम करता है।

क्या होता है मूत्राशय

दरअसल, मूत्राशय शरीर में पेट के निचले हिस्से में स्थित एक भीतरी अंग है, जो खोखला होता है। यह एक गुब्बारे की तरह होता है और मूत्र को संग्रहित करता है।  यह मूत्र शरीर के अपशिष्ट और विषाक्त पदार्थों का तरल रूप होता है, जो हमारे भोजन से निकलता है। प्रत्येक दिन, वयस्क मूत्राशय के माध्यम से और शरीर के बाहर लगभग डेढ़ चौथाई मूत्र निकालते हैं।

इसे हम यूं भी समझ सकते हैं कि हमारे शरीर में मौजूद गुर्दे खून से अपशिष्टों और विषाक्त पदार्थों को निकालते हैं और मूत्र के रूप में परिवर्तित करते हैं। यह मूत्र यूरेटर्स नामक नलिकाओं से होकर मूत्राशय तक पहुंचता है। इस मूत्र को संग्रहित करने वाला अंग मूत्राशय होता हैं। फिर यह मूत्र मूत्रमार्ग के माध्यम से शरीर से बाहर निकल जाता है।

कब हो सकती है मूत्राशय में समस्या

जैसे-जैसे लोग बूढ़े होते हैं, उनके मूत्राशय में परिवर्तन होता है। कई बार गर्मियों के दिनों में मूत्राशय का लोचदार ऊतक सख्त कम खिंचाव वाला हो जाता है। ऐसे में मूत्राशय में मूत्र को रोकने की क्षमता पहले जैसी नहीं रह जाती है और लोगों को अधिक बार मूत्र बाहर निकालने जाना पड़ता है। इस अवस्था में मूत्राशय की दीवार और पेल्विक फ्लोर की मांसपेशियां कमजोर हो सकती हैं, जिससे मूत्राशय को पूरी तरह से खाली करना कठिन हो जाता है और मूत्र का रिसाव होता है। ऐसे में मूत्राशय को प्रभावित करने वाली हर चीज को नियंत्रित नहीं किया जा सकता है। तो चलिए आपको ऐसे  16 तरीके बताते हैं जो मूत्राशय को स्वस्थ रखने में आपकी मदद कर सकते हैं।

मूत्राशय को स्वस्थ रखने के ये तरीके

मूत्राशय को स्वस्थ रखने के निम्नलिखित तरीके हैं:

बहुत देर तक मूत्र को रोकने की कोशिश न करें

मूत्राशय को स्वस्थ रखने के लिए जरूरी है कि जब भी आपको पेशाब लगे तो उसे रोकना नहीं चाहिए और जितनी जल्दी हो शरीर से बाहर निकाल देना चाहिए। सभी को 3 से 4 घंटे में कम से कम एक बार पेशाब करने की कोशिश जरूर करनी चाहिए। इसकी वजह यह है कि अपने मूत्राशय में बहुत देर तक मूत्र रोककर रखने से मूत्राशय की मांसपेशियां कमजोर हो सकती हैं और मूत्राशय में संक्रमण होने की संभावना बढ़ जाती है। इसलिए इसे समय समय पर खाली करना जरूरी होता है।

ज्यादा से ज्यादा चलें

कुछ लोग जैसे जो ज्यादा चलते नहीं हैं या जिन्हें हृदय रोग है, दिन के दौरान उनके पैरों में तरल पदार्थ का निर्माण हो सकता है। रात में, इस द्रव के कारण उन्हें अपने मूत्राशय को बार-बार खाली करने की आवश्यकता पड़ती है। यदि आपके पैरों में द्रव एकत्र है जो रात भर सक्रिय मूत्राशय पैदा कर रहा है, तो पूरे दिन अधिक चलने का प्रयास करें। यदि आप चल नहीं सकते हैं, तो अपनी पिंडली की मांसपेशियों को मोड़ें और अपने पैरों को कमर के स्तर तक उठाएं।

पेशाब करते समय आराम की स्थिति में रहें

पेशाब हमेशा आराम की स्थिति में ही करना चाहिए। दरअसल, ऐसा करने से मूत्राशय के आसपास की मांसपेशियों को आराम मिलता है और इससे मूत्राशय खाली करने में आसानी होती है। इसलिए जहां तक हो सके टॉयलेट सीट पर बैठकर ही पेशाब करना चाहिए।

पेशाब करते समय जल्दबाजी न करें

कभी भी जल्दबाजी में पेशाब नहीं करना चाहिए और पेशाब को शरीर से बाहर निकालने के लिए पूरा समय निकालना चाहिए। दरअसल, जल्दी पेशाब करने से मूत्राशय खाली नहीं हो पाता है और पेशाब की कुछ मात्रा उसमें रह जाती है। अगर मूत्र मूत्राशय में बहुत देर तक रहता है, तो इससे मूत्राशय में संक्रमण होने की संभावना अधिक हो सकती है।

शौचालय के बाद सफाई जरूरी

महिलाओं को मूत्राशय के संक्रमण से बचने के लिए सफाई का विशेष ध्यान देना चाहिए। उन्हें यह ध्यान रखना चाहिए कि आंतों के बैक्टीरिया मूत्रमार्ग में प्रवेश न कर पाएं। इसलिए शौचालय का उपयोग करने के बाद महिलाओं को आगे से पीछे की ओर पोंछना चाहिए। मल त्याग के बाद यह कदम सबसे महत्वपूर्ण है।

सेक्स के बाद पेशाब करें

संभोग क्रिया के बाद महिलाओं और पुरुषों दोनों को पेशाब जरूर करना चाहिए। दरअसल, यौन गतिविधि बैक्टीरिया को आंत्र या योनि गुहा से मूत्रमार्ग के शुरुआत तक ले जा सकती है। इससे संक्रमण का जोखिम बढ़ जाता है। इसी जोखिम को कम करने के लिए महिलाओं और पुरुषों दोनों को सेक्स के तुरंत बाद पेशाब करना चाहिए।

कीगल एक्सरसाइज करें

पेल्विक फ्लोर एक्सरसाइज को ही कीगल एक्सरसाइज के नाम से जाना जाता है। यह एक्सरसाइज मूत्राशय में मूत्र को रोकने में मदद करती हैं। रोजाना यह एक्सरसाइज करने से मूत्राशय के आसपास की मांसपेशियां मजबूत होती हैं। इससे छींकने, खांसने, उठने, हंसने या अचानक पेशाब करने की इच्छा होने पर मूत्र को लीक होने से रोकने में मदद मिलती है। ये एक्सरसाइज मूत्राशय को खाली करने में मदद करने वाली मांसपेशियों को मजबूत करके संक्रमण से बचने में भी मदद कर सकते हैं।

सूती अंडरवियर और ढीले-ढाले कपड़े पहनें

जहां ता संभव हो, लोगों को सूती अंडरवियर और ढीले-ढाले कपड़े पहनने चाहिए। इससे मूत्रमार्ग के आसपास के क्षेत्र को सूखा रखने में मदद  मिलती है। टाइट-फिटिंग पैंट और नायलॉन अंडरवियर नमी को रोक सकते हैं और बैक्टीरिया को बढ़ने में मदद कर सकते हैं।

नियमित रूप से व्यायाम करें

शारीरिक गतिविधि मूत्राशय की समस्याओं के साथ-साथ कब्ज को रोकने में मदद कर सकती है। यह स्वस्थ वजन बनाए रखने में भी मदद कर सकता है। इसलिए व्यायाम मूत्राशय को स्वस्थ रखने का एक अच्छा उपाय है।

स्वस्थ वजन रखें

जिन लोगों का वजन अधिक होता है, उन्हें मूत्र रिसाव का अधिक खतरा हो सकता है। स्वस्थ भोजन विकल्प बनाने और शारीरिक रूप से सक्रिय होने से स्वस्थ वजन बनाए रखने में मदद मिल सकती है। इसके साथ ही इससे मूत्राशय भी स्वस्थ रह सकता है।

स्वस्थ भोजन करें

कुछ विशेष तरह के खाद्य पदार्थ आपके मूत्राशय की समस्या के कारक साबित हो सकते हैं। इसलिए मूत्राशय को स्वस्थ रखने के लिए खान-पान का विशेष धयान रखना चाहिए। सोडा, कृत्रिम मिठास, मसालेदार भोजन, खट्टे फल या उनका रस, और टमाटर-आधारित खाद्य पदार्थ, मूत्राशय की समस्याओं को और भी बदतर बना देते हैं। इसलिए ऐसे भोजन और पेय पदार्थो के सेवन से बचना चाहिए। अपना आहार बदलने से आपको बेहतर महसूस करने में मदद मिल सकती है।

पर्याप्त मात्रा में पानी पियें

मानव शरीर का आधे से अधिक हिस्सा पानी से बना है, इसलिए पर्याप्त मात्रा में पानी पीना आवश्यक होता है। आपको कितने पानी की आवश्यकता है, यह आपके आकार, गतिविधि स्तर और रहने के स्थान के आधार पर अलग-अलग हो सकता है। सामान्य तौर पर, पर्याप्त मात्रा में तरल पदार्थ पिएं ताकि आपको हर कुछ घंटों में पेशाब करने की आवश्यकता पड़े। कुछ लोगों को गुर्दे की विफलता या हृदय रोग जैसी कुछ स्थितियों के कारण कम पानी पीने की आवश्यकता होती है। इसलिए डॉक्टर से सलाह जरूर करना चाहिए कि आपके लिए कितना तरल पदार्थ स्वस्थ है।

शराब और कैफीन को सीमित करें

कई लोगों के लिए शराब पीने से मूत्राशय की समस्या और भी बदतर हो सकती है। कैफीन युक्त पेय (जैसे कॉफी, चाय और अधिकांश सोडा) मूत्राशय को परेशान कर सकते हैं और लक्षणों को बढ़ा सकते हैं जैसे कि बार-बार या तत्काल पेशाब करने की आवश्यकता।

कब्ज से बचे

कोलन में बहुत अधिक मल का निर्माण को कब्ज कहा जाता है। यह स्थिति मूत्राशय पर दबाव डाल सकता है और इसे उस तरह से फैलने से रोक सकता है, जैसा इसे करना चाहिए। साबुत अनाज, सब्जियों और फलों जैसे उच्च फाइबर वाले खाद्य पदार्थों का सेवन करना, पर्याप्त पानी पीना और शारीरिक रूप से सक्रिय रहना कब्ज को रोकने में मदद कर सकता है।

धूम्रपान छोड़े

धूम्रपान करने वाले लोगों में मूत्राशय की समस्या अधिक होती है। धूम्रपान से मूत्राशय के कैंसर का खतरा भी बढ़ सकता है। यदि आप धूम्रपान करते हैं, तो छोड़ने के लिए कदम उठाएं।

कुछ दवाएं हो सकती हैं हानिकारक

कुछ दवाएं आपके मूत्राशय से मूत्र के रिसाव की संभावना को बढ़ा सकती हैं। ऐसी दवाएं जो आपकी नसों को शांत करती हैं ताकि आप सो सकें या आराम कर सकें, मूत्राशय में नसों को सुस्त कर सकती।  ऐसे में बाथरूम जाने की इच्छा महसूस नहीं हो सकती है और मूत्राशय में संक्रमण की स्थिति बन सकती है।

Preventing Ear, Nose, and Throat Disorders

What is Ear, Nose, and Throat Disorders?

Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) Disorders are a group of conditions that affect the areas of the head and neck. Examples of common ENT disorders include chronic sinusitis, ear infections, dizziness, allergies, hearing loss, hoarseness or voice problems, neck masses, throat infection or pain and tonsil swelling

Many of these conditions can cause significant discomfort and impair your quality of life. Treatment can sometimes involve medication or even surgery to open blocked airways or remove abnormal growths. 

In addition to treatment provided by a doctor or an otolaryngologist (ear-nose-throat specialist), you may benefit from alternative treatments such as massage therapy and lifestyle changes.

What are the signs and symptoms of Ear, Nose, and Throat Disorders?

Common signs and symptoms related to ENT disorders include:

  • Hearing loss or diminished hearing.
  • Ear pain or discomfort.
  • Ringing in the ears (tinnitus).
  • Discharge from the ear.
  • Vertigo, dizziness, imbalance or spinning sensation.
  • Nasal congestion or blockage.
  • Sinus pressure and pain.
  • Post-nasal drip or drainage from the nose or down the throat.
  • Sore throat (pharyngitis)
  • Hoarseness or changes in voice quality. 
  • Tonsillitis 
  • Swelling in the neck. 
  • Difficulty breathing through the nose. 
  • Unexplained cough.

What are possible complications of Ear, Nose, and Throat Disorders? 

Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) disorders can have a variety of complications that can range from mild to severe. Some of the more common complications include:

  • Perforation of the eardrum: Damage to the eardrum that can cause hearing loss, balance issues, and infection.
  • Sinus infections and/or nasal congestion: Sinus infections occur when bacteria or viruses enter your sinuses and cause inflammation; nasal congestion is caused by inflamed tissues blocking nasal passages.
  • Meniere's Disease: An inner ear disorder that causes dizziness, tinnitus, vertigo, hearing loss and a sense of fullness in the ear.
  • Vocal Cord Paralysis: Damage to the nerves controlling the vocal cords which damages voice control and may lead to difficulty speaking or breathing problems.
  • Vertigo: A feeling of spinning or whirling motion when either standing still or moving; can cause nausea, sweating, vomiting and difficulty concentrating.

Remedies and Tips for Preventing Ear, Nose, and Throat Disorders

  • Lavender oil: Apply a few drops of warm lavender oil in the ear to reduce inflammation and relieve pain from ear infections.
  • Garlic oil: It has anti-inflammatory properties that can help treat various ear, nose and throat problems like common colds and allergies. Garlic oil can also be applied directly on to the affected area for quick relief from irritation and discomfort.
  • Sesame Oil: It may help provide relief from nasal congestion caused by allergies or a common cold due to its antibacterial properties. It may also help reduce snoring by soothing the passageways in the throat that are often blocked in cases of sleep apnea.
  • Turmeric: Turmeric can be added to food or consumed raw as it helps break down mucous buildup in the throat which could cause discomfort when swallowing or talking. It also helps regulate temperatures with its anti-inflammatory properties, which could be beneficial for people suffering from sinusitis or rhinitis. Additionally, turmeric contains antifungal and antiviral elements which makes it an excellent remedy for head colds as well as any infection related to the ears, nose and throat such as tonsillitis or laryngitis.
  • Honey: Honey is an effective Ayurvedic remedy for many ear, nose and throat ailments due to its antibacterial properties that can help fight off bacteria causing infections like strep throat. Additionally honey coats the throat walls providing instant relief from soreness while kicking off a healing process due to active enzymes present in honey.
  • Keep your ears and nose clean: It’s a good idea to clean your ears and nose daily using a warm washcloth or cotton swab. This helps to keep debris, dust, and other irritants from entering your ears and nose, which can lead to infection or inflammation.
  • Humidify the air in your home: Dry air can contribute to dryness and irritation of the ear, nose, and throat membranes. Adding a humidifier to your bedroom or other areas of the house can help promote comfortable breathing and reduce symptoms such as congestion.
  • Use nasal saline spray: Spraying nasal saline spray into each nostril prior to bedtime helps keep nasal passages moist throughout the night and makes it easier for mucus to move more freely from one nostril to another which reduces congestion.
  • Avoid smoking: Exposure to secondhand smoke can be especially damaging for ear, nose,and throat disorders so it's best for everyone in the household if you quit smoking entirely or avoid being exposed in areas where smoking is allowed.
  • Eat healthy foods: Eating fresh fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, whole grains should all be part of an overall healthy eating plan that also helps protect against ear nose and throat problems including infections of both external structures like sinuses as well as inner structures like tonsils or adenoids.

If the measures indicated above fail, you may have to resort to medical or surgical treatments.

What are the surgical treatments for Ear, Nose, and Throat Disorders? 

Surgery is often considered a last resort to treat ENT disorders, only after other treatments have been explored. Common surgeries used to address Ear, Nose, and Throat Disorders are:

  • Septoplasty: Surgery to correct a deviated septum and improve airflow through the nose.
  • Tonsillectomy: Removal of the tonsils through a surgical procedure.
  • Endoscopic Sinus Surgery: Endoscopic surgery of the sinuses for a more thorough treatment of sinusitis or to remove polyps from the nose and sinuses.
  • Tympanoplasty: Surgery to repair any damage done to the eardrum in cases of chronic ear infections.
  • Myringotomy: Surgical procedure sometimes used for people with chronic ear infections or fluid buildup behind the eardrum in which a small incision is made in the eardrum and fluid is drained from behind it.

Best doctors to consult for Ear, Nose, and Throat Disorders? 

Ear, Nose, and Throat Disorders can be treated by a number of specialists, primarily Otolaryngologists, who treat the head and neck.

  • Otolaryngologists: These doctors are equipped to diagnose and treat disorders of the ear, nose, throat and mouth region. They can provide evaluations in devices such as hearing aids and endoscopy to examine various parts of the throat.
  • Speech therapists or allergists: Other types of specialists could include speech therapists or allergists who specialize in treating sinusitis or allergies.

Depending on your individual needs it is best to consult with a doctor before deciding what is best for you.

जानिये क्या होते हैं सबक्यूटेनियस इंजेक्शन और क्या है उपयोग का सही तरीका

जब किसी भी तरह की बीमारी के इलाज की बात आती है तो दवाइयों और इंजेक्शन का जिक्र होना स्वाभाविक है। दरअसल, कई बार जब हम बीमारी का इलाज कराने के लिए डॉक्टर के पास जाते हैं तो डॉक्टर कई तरह की दवाइयों और इजेक्शन लेने की सलाह देता है और हम इन इंजेक्शन को लेकर लगवाते भी हैं।

क्या आपको मालूम है कि इंजेक्शन लगाने के अलग-अलग तरीके भी होते हैं। ऐसा ही एक तरीका है सबक्यूटेनियस इंजेक्शन। तो चलिए आज हम इस सबक्यूटेनियस इंजेक्शन के विषय में विस्तार से बात करते हैं।

क्या है सबक्यूटेनियस इंजेक्शन

सबक्यूटेनियस इंजेक्शन को शॉर्ट भाषा में एससी इंजेक्शन भी कहते हैं और इसकी हिंदी अंतस्त्वचा इंजेक्शन मतलब त्वचा के नीचे लगने वाला इंजेक्शन है।  इस तरह जो इंजेक्शन त्वचा के नीचे लगाए जाते हैं उन्हें सबक्यूटेनियस इंजेक्शन कहते हैं। कुछ परिस्थितियों में डॉक्टर आपको सबक्यूटेनियस इंजेक्शन घर पर लगाने की सलाह देते हैं। कुछ बीमारिया ऐसी होती है जैसे मधुमेह की बीमारी में आपको सबक्यूटेनियस इंजेक्शन घर पर ही लगाने होते है।

कैसे लगाया जाता है सबक्यूटेनियस इंजेक्शन

सबक्यूटेनियस इंजेक्शन में दवा को त्वचा और मांसपेशियों के बीच ऊतक परत में इंजेक्ट किया जाता है और इसके लिए छोटी सुई का उपयोग किया जाता है। इस तरह से दी जाने वाली दवा आमतौर पर नस में इंजेक्शन लगाने की तुलना में अधिक धीरे-धीरे अवशोषित होती है। कभी-कभी इसमें 24 घंटे तक का समय लग जाता है। हालांकि, इसके बावजूद कुछ बीमारियों में यह इंजेक्शन नसों में लगाए जाने वाले इंजेक्शन से ज्यादा प्रभावित करते हैं। इसी वजह से डॉक्टर इस प्रकार के इंजेक्शन को लगाने की सलाह देते हैं।

डॉक्टर्स क्यों देते हैं सबक्यूटेनियस इंजेक्शन लगाने की सलाह

कुछ बीमारियां ऐसी भी होती हैं जिसमें खाई जाने वाली दवाइयां ज्यादा असरदार नहीं होती, क्योंकि पेट में एसिड और एंजाइम इन दवाइयों को नष्ट कर देते हैं। ऐसी सूरत में डॉक्टर्स सबक्यूटेनियस इंजेक्शन लगाने की सलाह देते हैं। क्योंकि इनपर पेट में मौजूद एसिड और एंजाइम का कोई असर नहीं पड़ता। वहीं नसों में लगने वाले इंजेक्शन जैसे तरीके कठिन और महंगे हो सकते हैं।  जबकि मांसपेशियों में लगने वाले इंजेक्शन जैसे अन्य तरीके कठिन और महंगे हो सकते हैं। सबक्यूटेनियस इंजेक्शन आपके शरीर में दवा लेने का एक उपयोगी, सुरक्षित और सुविधाजनक तरीका हो सकता है।

सबक्यूटेनियस इंजेक्शन से दी जाने वाली दवाएं

सबक्यूटेनियस इंजेक्शन के माध्यम से शरीर में ऐसी दवाओं को इंजेक्ट किया जाता है जिनकी मात्रा कम होती है। आमतौर पर इन दवाओं की मात्रा 1 एमएल से कम होती है लेकिन 2 एमएल तक सुरक्षित माना जाता है। इसके अलावा जिन दवाओं को बहुत जल्दी देने की आवश्यकता होती है, उन्हें भी सबक्यूटेनियस इंजेक्शन के माध्यम से भी दिया जा सकता है। उदाहरण के रूप में हम एपिनेफ्रीन को ले सकते हैं जो एक स्वचालित इंजेक्टर रूप में आता है। इसे एपिपेन भी कहा जाता है। इसका उपयोग गंभीर एलर्जी प्रतिक्रियाओं का तुरंत उपचार करने के लिए किया जाता है।

कुछ दर्द की दवाएं जैसे मॉर्फिन और हाइड्रोमोर्फोन (डिलाउडिड) को भी सबक्यूटेनियस इंजेक्शन के रूप में दिए जा सकते हैं। मेटोक्लोप्रमाइड (रेगलन) या डेक्सामेथासोन (डेक्सपैक) जैसी मतली और उल्टी को रोकने वाली दवाएं भी सबक्यूटेनियस इंजेक्शन के माध्यम से दी जा सकती हैं। कुछ टीकों और एलर्जी शॉट्स को भी सबक्यूटेनियस इंजेक्शन के रूप में दिया जाता है।

ज्यादातर कहां लगाए जाते हैं सबक्यूटेनियस इंजेक्शन

सबक्यूटेनियस इंजेक्शन के लिए कुछ स्थान महत्वपूर्ण है। इसकी वजह भी है। दरअसल, दवा को त्वचा के ठीक नीचे फैटी टिश्यू में इंजेक्ट करने की आवश्यकता होती है। शरीर के कुछ क्षेत्रों में ऊतक की अधिक आसानी से सुलभ परत होती है, जहां त्वचा के नीचे इंजेक्ट की गई सुई मांसपेशियों, हड्डी या रक्त वाहिकाओं को नहीं लगेगी।

शरीर में सबक्यूटेनियस इंजेक्शन लगाने के सबसे आम स्थान :

  • उदर: नाभि के स्तर पर या उसके नीचे, नाभि से लगभग दो इंच की दूरी पर
  • भुजा: ऊपरी भुजा के पीछे या बगल में
  • जांघ: जांघ के सामने

सबक्यूटेनियस इंजेक्शन के माध्यम से दी जाने वाली दवाओं के रूप

  • दवा: तरल दवा की शीशियां सिंगल यूज या मुलती यूज हो सकती हैं। शीशियों को एक पाउडर से भी भरा जा सकता है जिसमें तरल को जोड़ने की आवश्यकता होती है।
  • सीरिंज: सुइयां मात्र 5/8 इंच लंबी होती हैं। सुई की मोटाई आमतौर पर 25 या 27 गेज होती है। 1 एमएल से अधिक या बच्चों या दृष्टिबाधित लोगों को इस माध्यम से सबक्यूटेनियस इंजेक्शन दिया जा सकता है।
  • ऑटो-इंजेक्टर पेन: कुछ दवाएं पेन में उपलब्ध होती हैं। इसे एक बार ही उपयोग में लाया जा सकता है। इसमें पहले से ही सुई लगी होती है। आवश्यक दवा पर्याप्त मात्रा पहले से ही मौजूद रहती है। एपिनेफ्रीन जैसी आपातकालीन दवाएं भी इस रूप में आ सकती हैं।

सबक्यूटेनियस इंजेक्शन लगाने का सही तरीका

  • संभावित संक्रमण को रोकने के लिए अपने हाथों को साबुन और गर्म पानी से धोएं। उंगलियों के बीच, हाथों के पीछे और नाखूनों के नीचे अच्छी तरह से स्क्रब करना चाहिए। रोग नियंत्रण और रोकथाम केंद्र (सीडीसी) अपने हाथों को सुखाने के लिए 20 सेकंड के लिए ताली बजाने की सलाह देता है।
  • इंजेक्शन लगाने से पहले सबक्यूटेनियस इंजेक्शन में इस्तेमाल की जाने वाली सभी चीजों को इकट्ठा करें। जैसे दवा या ऑटो-इंजेक्टर पेन के साथ सुई और सिरिंज, इंजेक्शन को लगाने वाली त्वचा को साफ करने के लिए अल्कोहल पैड, सुई को हटाने के लिए शार्प कंटेनर और पट्टियां।
  • उस जगह की सफाई और निरीक्षण करें, जहां इंजेक्शन लगाना हो। दवा इंजेक्ट करने से पहले, यह सुनिश्चित करने के लिए अपनी त्वचा का निरीक्षण करें कि क्षेत्र में कोई चोट, जलन, सूजनतो नहीं है। बार-बार इंजेक्शन वाले क्षेत्र को नुकसान से बचाने के लिए शरीर में किसी अन्य स्थान का चयन भी पहले से ही कर लेना चाहिए जहां इंजेक्शन लगाया जा सकता हो। फिर आपको एल्कोहल पैड से त्वचा को साफ करना चाहिए। इंजेक्शन लगाने से पहले अल्कोहल को अच्छी तरह सूखने दें।
  • दवा के साथ सिरिंज तैयार करें। शीशी से दवा वापस लेने और खुद को या किसी और को इंजेक्शन लगाने से पहले, सुनिश्चित करें कि आप सही दवा का उपयोग सही मात्रा में, सही समय पर और सही तरीके से कर रहे हैं। प्रत्येक इंजेक्शन के साथ एक नई सुई और सिरिंज का प्रयोग करें।

कैसे तैयार करें एक सिरिंज

  • शीशी से ढक्कन हटा दें। यदि शीशी मल्टीडोज है, तो इस बात पर ध्यान दें कि शीशी को पहली बार कब खोला गया था। रबर स्टॉपर को अल्कोहल पैड से साफ किया जाना चाहिए। 
  • जिस खुराक को आप इंजेक्ट कर रहे हैं, उस तक सिरिंज को हवा से भरने के लिए प्लंजर को वापस खींचें। ऐसा इसलिए किया जाता है क्योंकि शीशी वैक्यूम होती है, और आपको दबाव को नियंत्रित करने के लिए समान मात्रा में हवा जोड़ने की आवश्यकता होती है। इससे दवा को सिरिंज में खींचना आसान हो जाता है। हालांकि, यदि आप इस चरण को भूल जाते हैं, तब भी आप दवा को शीशी से बाहर निकाल सकते हैं।
  • सुई से टोपी निकालें और शीशी के शीर्ष पर रबर डाट के माध्यम से सुई को धक्का दें। सारी हवा शीशी में डालें। इसे साफ रखने के लिए सुई को छूना नहीं चाहिए।
  • शीशी और सीरिंज को उल्टा कर दें। सुई ऊपर की ओर रहनी चाहिए। फिर दवा की सही मात्रा निकालने के लिए प्लंजर को वापस खींच लें। सीरिंज में अगर कोई बुलबुला नजर आ रहा है तो उसे हटा दें। बुलबुले को हटाने के लिए सिरिंज को टैप करें और हवा के बुलबुले को बाहर धकेलने के लिए प्लंजर को धीरे से दबाएं।
  • अब अपने अंगूठे और तर्जनी के बीच की त्वचा की एक बड़ी चुटकी लें और इसे पकड़ें। (आपका अंगूठा और तर्जनी लगभग एक इंच और डेढ़ इंच अलग होनी चाहिए।) यह वसायुक्त ऊतक को मांसपेशियों से दूर खींचती है और इंजेक्शन को आसान बनाती है।
  • 90 डिग्री के कोण पर पिंच की हुई त्वचा में सुई डालें। आपको इसे जल्दी करना चाहिए, लेकिन बिना ज्यादा ताकत के। यदि आपके शरीर पर बहुत कम वसा है, तो आपको सुई को त्वचा पर 45 डिग्री के कोण पर इंजेक्ट करने की आवश्यकता हो सकती है।
  • दवा इंजेक्ट करने के लिए प्लंजर को धीरे-धीरे दबाएं। आपको दवा की पूरी मात्रा इंजेक्ट करनी चाहिए।
  • दबी हुई त्वचा को छोड़ दें और सुई को बाहर निकाल लें। उपयोग की गई सुई को पंचर-प्रतिरोधी शार्प के कंटेनर में छोड़ दें।
  • इंजेक्शन साइट पर हल्का दबाव लागू करने के लिए मुलायम कपड़े का प्रयोग करें। अगर कोई खून बह रहा है, तो यह बहुत मामूली होना चाहिए। आपको बाद में थोड़ी चोट लग सकती है। यह सामान्य बात है और इसमें चिंतित होने की कोई बात नहीं है।

सबक्यूटेनियस इंजेक्शन के दुष्परिणाम 

रोजाना सबक्यूटेनियस इंजेक्शन लगाने वालों को इस बात का ध्यान जरूर रखना चाहिए कि कहीं आप एक ही जगह पर एक से अधिक बार या कई दिनों से  इंजेक्शन तो नहीं लगा रहे हैं, क्योंकि ऐसे इंजेक्शन लगाने के लिए शरीर के स्थान को बदलना आवश्यक है। इसका मतलब है कि आपको एक ही स्थान पर लगातार दो बार दवा इंजेक्ट नहीं करनी चाहिए।

उदाहरण के लिए, यदि आपने आज सुबह अपनी बाईं जांघ में दवा का इंजेक्शन लगाया है, तो आज दोपहर अपनी दाहिनी जांघ का उपयोग करें। एक ही जगह पर इंजेक्शन का बार-बार उपयोग करने से असुविधा हो सकती है और ऊतक क्षति भी हो सकती है।

जैसा कि किसी भी इंजेक्शन प्रक्रिया के साथ होता है, इंजेक्शन की जगह पर संक्रमण होने की संभावना होती है। इंजेक्शन स्थल पर संक्रमण के लक्षणों में शामिल हैं:

  • गंभीर दर्द
  • लालपन
  • सूजन
  • गर्मी या जल निकासी

इन लक्षणों को तुरंत अपने डॉक्टर को सूचित किया जाना चाहिए।

Hyperuricemia

Hyperuricemia

When there are high levels of uric acid in the blood a condition occurs called hyperuricemia. When there are high levels of uric acid in the blood it can lead to many diseases like highly painful arthritis disease called gout.

High uric acid can lead to many more health problems like kidney diseases, heart diseases and a few more. 

Purines are nucleic acid ring structure bases. When these purines break down in the body Uric acids are formed. These purines are found in the food we eat.

Such foods are:

When we urinate  we discard uric acid but when the body makes too much or we are not able to discard it through urination, hyperuricemia occurs. Discarding is an indication that the kidney is not functioning properly.

These uric acids at many places get crystallized by forming bonds to another and deposit at one place. Mainly it forms near joints or in your kidney. When immunity sees it as foreign substances WBC attacks the crystal causing it pain and inflammation.

Diseases

Gout

Gout is a type of arthritis called gouty arthritis. 15 percent of people suffer from hyperuricemia. when there is a sudden drop in the levels of uric acid gout can be experienced. Gout at joints are isolated attacks for a short time like flares. But there are people who experience chronic gout. In this there are numbers of attacks for a long period of time.

sometimes called gouty arthritis, occurs in about 20 percent of people with hyperuricemia. A rapid drop in uric acid levels can also trigger gout. Gout can appear as isolated attacks, or flares. Some people experience chronic gout, which involves a number of attacks occurring over short periods of time.

Gout can occur at any  joints  like knee, elbow, feet,ankles and sometimes toes and fingers. These are normal occurrences of gout. Usually gout happens to inflammate at night and continue to pain for a long period of time.

Symptoms of gout in the body are:

  1. There is severe pain in your joints.
  2. Joint stiff in the morning.
  3. Joints are not able to move.
  4. Redness and swelling are seen in the area of joints.
  5. Misshapen joints can be seen.

Kidney stones

Uric acid deposits in cyst to form the crystal stones in the kidney. Sometimes these stones are small in structure and can easily pass in urine while urinating. For some people these crystal forms  are big and cannot leave the kidney or urinary tract which cause high pain in the abdomen. 

Symptoms of kidney stones are:

  1. There will be pain in the abdomen, back or in the urinary tract.
  2. We might feel nauseated.
  3. There is pain while urinating and urinating is increased.
  4.  There might be blood in your urine.
  5. Your urine may smell more and you have fever and chills.

How to clean private part during pregnancy

As a pregnant woman, maintaining good hygiene is crucial for the health and well-being of both you and your baby. Taking care of your intimate area is an important part of this. From increased vaginal discharge to the risk of infections, pregnancy can bring about many changes to your body. That's why we've put together this guide on how to clean your private parts during pregnancy. Follow these tips to keep your intimate area clean, healthy, and comfortable throughout your pregnancy.

Use warm water and mild soap

It's crucial to clean your intimate area with warm water and a light, unscented soap. The equilibrium of germs in your vagina might be upset by hot water, which can irritate your skin. Avoid using harsh soaps or products with overpowering scents since they might irritate your vagina and throw off its pH balance.

Wipe from front to back

From front to back, wipe After using the bathroom, wipe your anus from front to back to stop bacteria from spreading to your vagina.This will help to keep your vagina clean and prevent the risk of infections.

Avoid douching

Douching is the practice of using a liquid solution to clean the inside of the vagina. As it may disturb the delicate balance of microorganisms in the vagina and raise the risk of infections, it is not advised during pregnancy. The vagina naturally cleans itself, thus douching is not necessary to maintain cleanliness.

Wear clean, breathable underwear

Wearing clean, breathable underwear can help to keep your intimate area clean and healthy. Avoid wearing tight or synthetic underwear as they can trap moisture and bacteria, increasing the risk of infections. In order to maintain your intimate area clean and odor-free, it's also crucial to change your underwear frequently.

Avoid using feminine hygiene products

Feminine hygiene products, such as sprays and wipes, are not necessary for maintaining good hygiene during pregnancy. Chemicals in these products have the potential to irritate skin and upset the normal balance of microorganisms in the vagina. It is best to stick to using warm water and mild soap to clean your intimate area.

Pay attention to your perineum

During pregnancy, the skin around the vagina (called the perineum) can become stretched and prone to irritation. To avoid infections, it's crucial to keep this area dry and clean. After going to the bathroom, gently pat the perineum dry with a clean, soft towel. Avoid using scented products on the perineum as they can cause irritation.

Use pads rather than tampons during pregnancy

It is generally recommended to use pads rather than tampons during pregnancy. Tampons can increase the risk of toxic shock syndrome (TSS), a rare but serious condition that can occur during pregnancy. Pads are a safer alternative as they do not carry the same risk of TSS.

Consult with your healthcare provider

It is completely normal for pregnant women to experience changes in their intimate area, including increased vaginal discharge and swelling. These changes are caused by the increased blood flow and hormone production during pregnancy. While it is important to maintain good hygiene during pregnancy, it is also important to be gentle and avoid harsh or abrasive cleaning techniques.

One common concern during pregnancy is the risk of developing a yeast infection. Yeast infections are caused by an overgrowth of the fungus Candida and can cause symptoms such as itching, burning, and discharge. Pregnancy can increase the risk of developing a yeast infection due to the changes in hormone levels and pH balance in the vagina. To prevent a yeast infection, it is important to keep the area clean and dry and to avoid wearing tight or synthetic clothing. If you are experiencing symptoms of a yeast infection, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider as they can recommend treatment options.

It is also important to be aware of the risk of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) during pregnancy. STIs can be harmful to both you and your baby and can be transmitted through sexual activity or by sharing contaminated objects. If you are pregnant and have had unprotected sex or are concerned about the risk of STIs, it is important to speak with your healthcare provider. They can recommend testing and treatment options to protect the health of you and your baby.

While maintaining good hygiene is important during pregnancy, it is also important to practice self-care and listen to your body. If you are experiencing discomfort or irritation in your intimate area, it is important to seek the advice of a healthcare provider. They can provide guidance on how to care for your body during pregnancy and address any concerns you may have.

Conclusion

In summary, maintaining good hygiene during pregnancy is important for the overall health and well-being of both you and your baby. By following the tips outlined above and seeking the guidance of a healthcare provider, you can keep your intimate area clean and healthy during pregnancy.

Why Are Condoms Flavored? Here are 10 Most Used Condom Flavours

Flavored condoms may seem like a sales tactic, but they actually serve a great purpose. Not only do they help make sex more enjoyable, but they also help reduce the risk of transmitting sexually transmitted infections and diseases (STIs and STDs). It's not a stretch to say that flavoured condoms could be an excellent way to spice up your sex life while also protecting your health at the same time.

Furthermore, this article will provide you with all the information you need to know about flavoured condoms so that you can spice up your sex life like never before! Flavored condoms can add an extra layer of excitement, and you'll love having the chance to try new, refreshing flavors and sensations. Whether you are looking to add a little something extra to your next sexual encounter, or are simply curious about flavoured condoms, this article will tell you everything you need to know!

What Is the Real Purpose of Flavored Condoms?

Flavored condoms are designed to make oral sex more enjoyable and delectable by masking the nasty taste of latex with a coating that adds a desirable flavor. This also makes it more likely that people will be willing to use condoms during oral sex, which eventually helps reduce the risk of sexually transmitted infections.

Flavored condoms are just an amazing way to make oral sex super exciting and stay safe all at once. Moreover, it must be noted that using condoms, especially during sexual intercourse and oral sex, is the sole way to protect oneself against sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and diseases (STDs). All in all, flavored condoms can be regarded as an excellent way to enjoy oral sex while remaining safe.

Did you know that sex not only feels great, but it has health benefits too? Studies being conducted around the world have shown that people who have sex on a frequent basis live longer than those who don't. But it’s important to always practise safe sex by using protection, like condoms, every time you engage in any kind of sexual activity—this includes oral sex.

Why Should You Use A Condom During (Oral) Sex?

Condoms are not only meant for preventing unwanted pregnancies. They are also effective at preventing the spread of any sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) or infections (STIs). Wearing a condom during sex (including oral sex) can help protect you and your partner from STIs and STDs, so make sure to always use one if you are not planning on getting pregnant and want to stay safe!

STIs and STDs don't discriminate at all; they can be transmitted through all types of sexual activity if precautions are not taken. This includes vaginal penetration, anal sex, or oral sex without protection. So no matter what kind of sex you are having, it is important to take the necessary steps to protect yourself and your partner from any kind of fatal infection or disease.

Many STIs can be spread through oral sex, which is why using protection is so important. STIs can be spread even if your partner doesn’t have any symptoms, so it’s important to take precautions. Although using protection during oral sex does not create a zero-risk situation when it comes to STIs, it is still crucial to use protection because it will help reduce the overall risk.

How Should You Go About Buying Flavored Condoms?

The first and most important step to take when considering the purchase of flavored (or any) condoms is to make sure they will fit you properly. If the condom is either too big or too small, it could slip off or, worse, break. So, the best way to avoid any accidents and to ensure both you and your partner enjoy oral sex is by choosing a size that fits comfortably.

Apart from that, you must keep in mind that there are many flavored condoms that are made of latex. So if you have a latex allergy, you must be sure to check the condom package before purchasing.

The idea of flavored condoms was mainly based on their being used only during oral sex. Hence, it is important to remember this fact before using them for vaginal or anal sex. 

The added sugars in the flavored coating of the condom could contribute to a vaginal yeast infection, so unless the directions on the package state otherwise, you should avoid using them for vaginal or anal sex. Lastly, always remember to read the instructions on the condom wrappers before using them to ensure you're using them correctly!

How Should You Use Flavored Condoms?

Make sure you know how to use a (flavored) condom before engaging in any sexual activity. First of all, it is important to choose a condom that fits correctly in order to prevent any unwanted pregnancies or sexually transmitted diseases or infections.

Second, make sure the condom you are using is not expired. You might also want to avoid using a condom if the wrapper is damaged or torn. Always inspect the condom for any obvious issues while you are purchasing it, such as any kind of stiffness, damage, or tiny holes.

Also, remember to use a brand new condom every time you plan to indulge in any kind of sexual activity, whether vaginal, oral, or sex. Even if you are just switching from one type of sexual activity to another, you need to put on a fresh condom.

Apart from that, you must use only condom-safe lubricants to reduce the risk of pregnancy or contracting an STI. Even natural lubricants, such as olive oil, may be the reason for latex condoms to break or tear.

10 Most used condom flavours

When we talk about flavoured condoms, it is believed that it only enhances sexual pleasure and lacks safety checks. It is partially true as flavoured condoms help in protecting you and your partner from sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) but at the same time, the additional chemicals and flavours used may cause itching in the female vagina. Favours in condom, however, are enticing and there are 20 plus flavours available in the market.

Black Stool Treatment Home Remedies

Some foods with a black tint can cause you to have black stools. However, it can also happen due to various medical reasons like gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding, colon polyps, stomach ulcers or esophageal varices giving it a rather dark appearance than its bright red colour.

It has been upheld by many medical studies that the appearance of one’s stool can tell a lot about their health and what illnesses and conditions they have. Similarly, a black stool (if not eaten something that could potentially change the colour of your poop) can tell that from where the blood is coming down. The farther the haemorrhage site is the darker the colour of your stool would be.

There are broadly two main reasons that may change the colour of your poop from normal brown to black;

Food or Medications 

  • If eaten dark-colored foods like; blueberries, black licorice
  • Iron supplements can also give it a black appearance
  • Post-pregnancy medicines containing iron and folate supplements
  • Newborn kids pass black stool during 24 hours of birth due to ingesting amniotic fluid, bile, and mucus 
  • Breastfed newborn can also excrete black stool if mother’s milk is coming mixed with blood
  • Medicines containing bismuth has also a potential effect on the colour of your stool

Medical conditions 

  • After a surgery
  • Stomach ulcers can discharge blood that get mix with your digestive fluids and may turn your poop black
  • Upper gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding can also do the same 
  • Esophageal varices is also one of the causes for black stool

Depending on what is causing the issue, there are many ways to treat black stools. If you have no symptoms and suspect that a certain food or medicine can be responsible for the black colour of your stool, you don’t need to be worried about it. 

However, if you have symptoms such as abdominal pain, nausea, dizziness, or upset stomach along with black colour stool you should contact your doctor right away.

Home remedies for black stool treatment are among the most popular ways to lessen clinical symptoms at home. These treatments are generally secure and may be favoured when someone treats themselves without the assistance of a doctor or other specialist. 

The most effective preventative measures and treatments for black stools are;

  • Drinking more water will keep you not only hydrated but might also help you with diarrhoea and bloody black stools from constipation
  • As black stools are typical after drinking, stay away from smoking, drinking, vaping, and other hazardous substances
  • Avoid using artificial food colouring because it can lead to more stools with black patches
  • Avoid taking unnecessary over-the-counter medications since they may alter the colour of your stool
  • Increasing the intake of high fibre foods can be the best course of action if you experience constipation and dark stools. A diet high in fibre can benefit your GI system and lower your risk of haemorrhoids or any other complications that might develop as a result
  • Reduce acid reflux by consuming less spicy food and including fruits and vegetables in your diet
  • Arugula, bay leaf, allspice, and basil are a few herbs that can help treat loose, black stools
  • Carrots, avocado, almond milk, cooked apples, barley, acorn, acai,  alfalfa sprouts and apple cider vinegar are a few fruits and vegetables that you should think about including in your diet
  • One of the most popular ayurveda remedies for black stools is almond-date drinks with cinnamon. You can also make a banana-cinnamon smoothie made with almond milk, or a pesto made of chickpeas and coconut to help you with black poop
  • Avoid acai, anise, buckwheat, cardamom, and celery seeds as much as possible because they can induce tarry, black stools

Treatment for black stool in newborns

Mucusy, dark-colored stools could be an indication of a bacterial infection, and taking antibiotics as prescribed by a doctor could help. Anti-inflammatory or anti-bacterial medications should be used to treat strep skin infection, which frequently results in red spots in black stool.

Also, if the kid is taking Pepto-Bismol, which may turn his/her stool black, such a case also doesn't require any treatment.

Treatment for black stool in kids

If you notice your kid excreting thin or oily stools with gas, you can cure them with easy at-home remedies. A black stool or a black stool with blood and mucus, however, makes the situation more complicated. Cow milk colitis, a common cause of the illness, can be prevented by using formula milk in place of cow milk. 

In older kids, black stool problems can be healed by improving food, addressing constipation with medication, and staying hydrated.

Conclusion

Black stool with additional clinical symptoms may be a sign or indication of an underlying medical illness, hence, it’s always advisable to consult your healthcare provider if you are sure the black colour is not coming from something that you have eaten.
