Pelvic Inflammation Disease (PID) is defined as condition caused by inflammation or infection of the female uterus, fallopian tubes, and/or ovaries as a result of scars and adhesion in the pelvic which in turn may prevent the implantation of egg during natural pregnancy process. It affects over 1 million women in U.S. every month and most of them are in their teen and twenties and over 100,000 women become infertile in the US alone each year.

I. Symptoms of (PID)

1. Fever – It is due to infection or inflammation of the pelvic region.
2. Cervical motion tenderness – Caused by swelling of cervical inflammation area as a immune system reaction.
3. Lower abdominal pain – It is caused by sexual transmitted diseases Chlamydia pneumoniae that infect the pelvic tissues and immune responds.
4. Abnormal discharge – Due to immune system in fighting with the bacteria to protect the pelvic tissues.
5. Painful intercourse – As a result of some infected tissues have been damaged.
6. Irregular menstrual bleeding – Caused by bleeding of the infected area.

II. Causes of PID

1. Sexual transmitted diseases – Chlamydia is also known as Chlamydia pneumoniae, it is a type of organism causes sexual transmitting disease. In women, it may damage the Fallopian tube leading to infertility. Sexual transmitted disease happens most often to sexual active women with several partners and without understanding much of the partner’s health and condition. The diseases can also transmit through sexual intercourse without the use of a barrier device such as condom. Chlamydia can live in the body for months and years without causing any symptoms, but when it strikes the symptoms include:
a) Pain or burning when urinating
b) Abnormal vaginal discharge
c) Bleeding between periods
d) Pain during sexual intercourse as we mentioned above.

2. Virus – It may be caused by human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)

3. Fungi – It causes infection, low levels of estrogen or allergy and abnormal vagina discharge. In case of frequent vaginitis, it is caused by women who are taking birth control pills, or taking antibiotics, as antibiotics kill bacteria, it causes uncontrolled yeast growth). Fungi can also be contracted through sexual intercourse.

4. Parasitic – PID is caused by a tiny parasite, known as trichomonas vaginalis.

5. Bacterial infections – Bacteria (germs) get into a woman’s internal reproductive organs such as douching or when the cervix is opened due to menstruation or ovulation for sperm invasion.

6. Surgery – Surgeries such as C section, abortion, childbirth or insertion of an IUD may cause bacteria getting into the pelvic region, leading to infection resulting in scars in the region.

7. Cervicitis – Cervicitis is defined as a medical condition caused by inflammation or infection to the cervix, leading to abnormal production of cervical mucus and increasing the risk of infertility

III. Affects of PID

1. Chronic pelvic pain – Pelvic inflammatory disease often causes pelvic pain, it can lead to chronic pelvic pain if left untreated for too long as a result of scars building up in the pelvic region.

2. Infertility – If the scar covers a large portion of the uterus that disrupts the chance of egg to implant in the uterus or blocks the Fallopian tube, causing fertilization egg unable to travel down to the uterus for implantation.

3. Ectopic pregnancy – As a result of the end of Follopian tube that connects to the ovaries becoming partially or completely blocked due to forming of scars after infection.

IV. Treatment of PID in conventional medicine perspective

PID have to be cured early by antibiotics, otherwise it may cause forming of large scars in the pelvic region, leading to blockage at the end of Fallopian tube that affects the uterus in egg implantation.

V. Summary

1. PID can be prevented if a woman
a) Uses a condom
b) Abstains from sexual intercourse
c) Avoids douching
2. Early treatment

Sexually active women must check with her doctor, if some of above symptoms are found.

Filed under: Herbal Breast Actives — Tags: , , , , , , , , , — libertees @ 2:14 am January 1, 2012

Pelvic Inflammation Disease (PID) is defined as a condition caused by inflammation or infection of the female uterus, fallopian tubes, and/or ovaries as a result of scars and adhesion in the pelvic region, which in turn prevent the implantation of egg during natural pregnancy process. It affects over 1 million women in U.S. every month and most of them are in their teen and twenties and over 100,000 women become infertile in the US alone each year. In traditional Chinese medicine PID is classified as the infection of a woman reproductive system.

Treating Bacterial Vaginitis Naturally – Easy Treatment For BV

Bacterial vaginitis is a very common condition, but nevertheless extremely embarrassing and irritating. It is characterized by a fishy smelling discharge, which is often gray or white in color and watery in consistency, and itching and burning around the vagina.

Although it is a bacterial infection, antibiotics are not the best treatment as there are both good and bad forms of bacteria within the vagina and antibiotics will eradicate both, leaving a serious imbalance. Treating bacterial vaginitis naturally is by far the best option as it is far more likely to lead to a permanent cure.

Under normal circumstances, the good bacteria maintains the healthy balance inside the vagina. If you have BV, this is a sign that there is a serious imbalance between the good and bad bacteria. Treating bacterial vaginitis naturally can be done by supplementing the beneficial bacteria with probiotics. This can be in the form of live yogurt or capsules which can be bought from a health food store.

Tea tree oil is another excellent treatment for bacterial vaginitis. This very powerful oil is great at killing bacteria yet is gentle on the body. You can add 10-12 drops to your bathwater or use tea tree oil pessaries, which can be bought from health food stores.  Some women also find cider vinegar to be a good treatment. Its naturally acidic pH level is similar to that of a healthy vagina and can help to restore balance. Adding 2 or 3 cupfuls to a shallow bath or sitz bath can be helpful.

Whilst you have BV, it is best to avoid intercourse and wear loose-fitting cotton panties, as these will allow air to circulate around the area.

Prompt action is always a good idea if you have BV as although not dangerous in the early stages, if left untreated bacterial vaginosis can lead to pelvic inflammatory disease and even infertility. The risks of this increase if you are prone to recurrent attacks.

Natural Bacterial Vaginitis Treatment – Easy Ways to Cure BV

Bacterial vaginitis affects many thousands of women worldwide and it is estimated that somewhere between 10% and 60% of women will have the condition at any given time. It is therefore very common, but nonetheless distressing condition which many women seem unable to shake off.

Conventional treatments seem to have little lasting effect, although there is no doubt that they can bring some temporary symptomatic relief. Natural bacterial vaginitis treatment seems to be the way forward to cure BV permanently, so lets have a look at some facts about bacterial vaginitis.

What Is Bacterial Vaginitis?

Also known as bacterial vaginosis, or “BV”, this condition is caused by an overgrowth of bacteria within the vagina. The main symptoms are a foul, fishy smelling discharge which is usually gray or white in color and watery in consistency. Very often, the vaginal area is itchy and sore.  Sometimes it is difficult to establish just what has caused the overgrowth of harmful bacteria but in these circumstances, the normally acidic conditions of the vagina which support the growth of healthy bacteria have become replaced by a more alkaline environment in which harmful bacteria thrives.

So, What Does Cause BV?

It can be difficult to tell, but there are certain factors which can contribute and it is rarely caused by poor hygiene! Indeed, one main contributory factor is overwashing, as this strips the vagina of its natural protective lubricants. Sometimes, intercourse with a new partner can be responsible as this can affect the natural balance in the vagina, but it is just as likely to be because the women is “under the weather” Hormonal changes during the menstrual cycle are also thought to be a potential cause.

Diagnosis

If you suffer from recurrent bacterial vaginitis, then you will know the symptoms only too well. If you are at all unsure, your doctor can diagnose the condition after taking a vaginal swab of the discharge.

Complications of Bacterial Vaginitis

Although not normally harmful, if left untreated BV can sometimes cause pelvic inflammatory disease or even infertility. It can also increase your risk of developing HIV if you have sex with an infected partner. It is therefore sensible to take action promptly if the condition persists for more than a few days.

Natural Bacterial Vaginitis Treatment

Although antibitoics are sometimes given, these work by killing off all bacteria within the vagina, which means that both harmful<i>and</i> beneficial bacteria are eliminated. This means that as soon as bacteria begins to naturally re-populate the vagina, the beneficial bacteria is unlikely to be of sufficient quantity to maintain a healthy balance and so the symptoms recur. This is why a huge proportion of women who take antibiotics for bacterial vaginitis will find that they have repeated outbreaks within a few weeks.

Two good natural bacterial vaginitis treatment options are probiotic yogurt and tea tree oil. Probiotic yogurt contains live beneficial bacteria and introducing it into the vagina can help to strengthen the body’s resources. For ease of application, try soaking a tampon in the yogurt and leave in place for a couple of hours.

Tea tree oil is a powerful antibacterial substance and can help to kill off the harmful bacteria. Add around 10-12 drops to a sitz bath or shallow bath for 3 nights in a row.

Prompt action is always a good idea if you have BV in order to prevent any problems developing in the future.

Irregular menstruation and Endometriosis – What we know

The endometrial is a special type of tissue that lines the inner walls of the uterus of a woman. The endometrial migrates and sometimes implants in other areas within the pelvis.

In women with endometriosis may have endometrial tissue in the fallopian tubes, ovaries or elsewhere in the pelvis? In these places there should be no endometrial tissue.

During the normal menstrual cycle a woman inside the uterus the endometrial thickens and prepares for the possibility of conception and pregnancy. This occurs under the influence of hormones in the blood stream. If no conception occurs, the hormone levels decrease and the endometrial becomes detached from the wall of the uterus and is expelled through it – what we know as menstruation or our monthly period.

In women with endometriosis the same process occurs but additional endometrial tissue in various sites around the pelvis reacts in the same way to hormonal changes in the bloodstream. This means that the endometrial placed in the wrong place; it takes off and wants to leave the body but is trapped. This can lead to inflammation and pain in the surrounding tissue and in the long run, it can form cysts and scar tissue.

How will I know if I have endometriosis?

Endometriosis can cause severe pain, usually in the pelvic area, and women with this condition usually feel the most pain and discomfort during their menstrual period. This pain can be debilitating and is generally more severe than what other women experience as “period pain.”

Other symptoms of this condition are excessive menstrual bleeding, average periods of bleeding and pain during relation or bowel movements.

Endometriosis may also decrease fertility and is an important factor in women who are having difficulty getting pregnant. In some women, endometriosis may cause few or even no symptoms. Endometriosis is a common disorder and it is estimated that almost 1 in 10 women in their reproductive years suffer from this condition. It is more common in women who have had children.

Other conditions can present the same symptoms as endometriosis, it is important to consult your health care provider about any troublesome menstrual symptoms or anything that makes you suspect this condition. Endometriosis is usually easily diagnosed by an internal pelvic examination.

The Breast Defense Against Violence: Ban the Bra!

As the world recognizes the United Nations’ International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, one form of violence has been overlooked that happens everyday, all over the world, and causes pain, suffering, disfigurement, and even death to thousands of women annually. And women actually do it to themselves. It is something they do out of fear of rejection and ridicule. It is the ultimate form of psychological violence, a form of self abuse to conform to the demands of men.

I am referring to breast disease and cancer, and how it is caused by the wearing of tight bras.

Most women agree that their bras are uncomfortable. However, the demand for acceptance trumps all reason, as women eagerly spend billions of dollars annually to display their cleavage to the pleasure of men.

Creating cleavage and a perky, youthful bustline, however, has a price. To get the “right” look, the bra must be tight, as it compresses the soft breast tissue. This causes pain, cysts, and can lead to cancer, something that was rare prior to the advent of the bra.

It is nothing new for women to abuse themselves for fashion. For example, not long ago, Chinese women bound their feet to please their men. Foot binding was disabling, causing completely distorted feet and toes. Some toes would actually rot off. Men would find erotic pleasure unwrapping, cleaning, and re-wrapping their women’s feet. And this went on for centuries!

Another senseless fashion, the wearing of corsets, also tortured women for centuries. The tight lacing impaired breathing, digestion, kidney function, and blood and lymphatic circulation, and caused pelvic disease and permanent skeletal deformation. But men loved the hourglass look, so women put up with the abuse.

Fashions can be sick. And this also applies to the wearing of bras.

Bras are constrictive by design. Their purpose is to alter breast shape, and this requires constant pressure applied to the soft breast tissue. Pressure, however, impairs the circulation of blood and lymph within the breast tissue. Most effected are the tiny, easily compressed lymphatic vessels, which drain the tissue of lymph fluid and is the circulatory pathway of the immune system.

Lymph fluid bathes the cells and needs to be regularly cleansed, taking with it toxins, waste products, viruses, cancer cells, bacteria, and cell debris. This lymph fluid is brought via lymphatic vessels to lymph nodes, which filter the fluid and mount an immune response, if needed. Eventually, the fluid re-enters the bloodstream. However, if the breast is constricted by a tight bra, the lymphatic vessels can be compressed, causing the fluid to accumulate in the tissue, along with the toxins it was trying to eliminate, some of which are carcinogenic. The result is pain, cyst formation, fibrocystic breast disease, toxification of the breast tissue, and, ultimately, cancer. Red marks and indentations in the skin left by the bra are telltale signs of constriction.

But will women eliminate their bras? Some women do once they hear about the bra/cancer link. However, for many, the fear of cancer and the pain of constriction are not as compelling as the fear and pain of rejection. To feel accepted, some women accept the self abuse of bra wearing. Some even pay a surgeon to cut their breasts, enlarging or reducing their size, subjecting themselves to the risks of surgery, anesthesia, and potential complications, all to look acceptable to others.

This is violence against women masquerading as fashion. That women do this violence to themselves makes it more disturbing. If a man were to punch a women in the breast, it would be obvious violence. When a woman binds her breasts to the point of pain, cysts, and cancer, it is still violence, even if the bra is lacy, sexy, and fashionable.

Sydney Ross Singer is a medical anthropologist and director of the Institute for the Study of Culturogenic Disease, located in Hawaii. His unique form of applied medical anthropology searches for the cultural/lifestyle causes of disease. His working assumption is that our bodies were made to be healthy, but our culture and the attitudes and behaviors it instills in us can get in the way of health. By eliminating these causes, the body is allowed to heal. Since most diseases of our time are caused by our culture/lifestyle, this approach has resulted in many original discoveries into the cause, and cure, of many common diseases. It also makes prevention possible by eliminating adverse lifestyle practices. Sydney works with his co-researcher and wife, Soma Grismaijer, and is the author of several groundbreaking health books, including the acclaimed book, Dressed To Kill: The Link Between Breast Cancer and Bras (Avery/Penguin Putnam, 1995; ISCD Press, 2005).
