Inability to go to sleep or to get sleep for a period sufficient for the needs individual. Chronic inability to sleep .The most common cause of insomnia is worry; the other is depression. Environmental disturbances also cause lack of sleep.Sleeping pills should be avoided as far as possible.Practice some technique to relax. Yoga can help and so can meditation or listening music.
Definition :- According to the definitions in encyclopedias Insomnia is a symptom of any of several sleep disorders, characterized by persistent difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep despite the opportunity. Insomnia is a symptom, not a stand-alone diagnosis or a disease. By definition, insomnia is "difficulty initiating or maintaining sleep, or both" and it may be due to inadequate quality or quantity of sleep. It is typically followed by functional impairment while awake. Both organic and non-organic insomnia without other cause constitute a sleep disorder, primary insomnia. According to the United States Department of Health and Human Services in the year 2007, approximately 64 million Americans regularly suffer from insomnia each year. Insomnia is 1.4 times more common in women than in men.
Types of insomnia:-
Although there are several different degrees of insomnia, three types of insomnia have been clearly identified: transient, acute, and chronic.
1. Transient insomnia lasts from days to weeks. It can be caused by another disorder, by changes in the sleep environment, by the timing of sleep, severe depression, or by stress. Its consequences - sleepiness and impaired psychomotor performance - are similar to those of sleep deprivation.
2. Acute insomnia is the inability to consistently sleep well for a period of between three weeks to six months.
3. Chronic insomnia lasts for years at a time. It can be caused by another disorder, or it can be a primary disorder. Its effects can vary according to its causes. They might include sleepiness, muscular fatigue, hallucinations, and/or mental fatigue; but people with chronic insomnia often show increased alertness. Some people that live with this disorder see things as though they were happening in slow motion, wherein moving objects seem to blend together. Can cause double vision.
Causes:-
Insomnia can be caused by:
• Psychoactive drugs or stimulants, including certain medications, herbs, caffeine, cocaine, ephedrine, amphetamines, methylphenidate, MDMA, methamphetamine and modafinil
• Fluoroquinolone antibiotic drugs, see Fluoroquinolone toxicity, associated with more severe and chronic types of insomnia Restless Legs Syndrome can cause insomnia due to the discomforting sensations felt and need to move the legs or other body parts to relieve these sensations. It is difficult if not impossible to fall asleep while moving.
• Any injury or condition that causes pain. Pain can preclude an individual from finding a comfortable position in which to fall asleep, and in addition can cause awakening if, during sleep, the person rolls over and puts pressure on the injured or painful area of the body.
• Hormone shifts such as those that precede menstruation and those during menopause
• Life problems like fear, stress, anxiety, emotional or mental tension, work problems, financial stress, unsatisfactory sex life
• Mental disorders such as bipolar disorder, clinical depression, generalized anxiety disorder, post traumatic stress disorder, schizophrenia, or obsessive compulsive disorder.
• Disturbances of the circadian rhythm, such as shift work and jet lag, can cause an inability to sleep at some times of the day and excessive sleepiness at other times of the day. Jet lag is seen in people who travel through multiple time zones, as the time relative to the rising and setting of the sun no longer coincides with the body's internal concept of it. The insomnia experienced by shift workers is also a circadian rhythm sleep disorder.
• Estrogen is considered to play a significant role in women’s mental health (including insomnia). A conceptual model of how estrogen affects mood was suggested by Douma et al. 2005 based on their extensive literature review relating activity of endogenous, bio-identical and synthetic estrogen with mood and well-being. They concluded the sudden estrogen withdrawal, fluctuating estrogen, and periods of sustained estrogen low levels correlated with significant mood lowering. Clinical recovery from depression postpartum, perimenopause, and postmenopause was shown to be effective after levels of estrogen were stabilized and/or restored.[9][10]
• Certain neurological disorders, brain lesions, or a history of traumatic brain injury
• Medical conditions such as hyperthyroidism and rheumatoid arthritis[11]
• Abuse of over-the counter or prescription sleep aids can produce rebound insomnia
• Poor sleep hygiene, e.g., noise
• Parasomnia, which includes a number of disruptive sleep events including nightmares, sleepwalking, violent behavior while sleeping, and REM behavior disorder, in which a person moves his/her physical body in response to events within his/her dreams
• A rare genetic condition can cause a prion-based, permanent and eventually fatal form of insomnia called fatal familial insomnia
• Parasites can cause intestinal disturbances while sleeping.[citation needed]
• Sometimes a rare case of insomnia is also seen in individuals who have long hours of consistent television watching or computer surfing.[citation needed]
Sleep studies using polysomnography have suggested that people who have insomnia with sleep disruption have elevated nighttime levels of circulating cortisol and adrenocorticotropic hormone They also have an elevated metabolic rate, which does not occur in people who do not have insomnia but whose sleep is intentionally disrupted during a sleep study. Studies of brain metabolism using positron emission tomography (PET) scans indicate that people with insomnia have higher metabolic rates by night and by day. The question remains whether these changes are the causes or consequences of long-term insomnia. Insomnia can be common after the loss of a loved one, even years or decades after the death, if they have not gone through the grieving process. Overall, symptoms and the degree of their severity affect each individual differently depending on their mental health, physical condition, and attitude or personality.
A common misperception is that the amount of sleep required decreases as a person ages. The ability to sleep for long periods, rather than the need for sleep, appears to be lost as people get older. Some elderly insomniacs toss and turn in bed and occasionally fall off the bed at night, diminishing the amount of sleep they receive.

CONSTIPATION
Difficult and delayed passage of stool. It is one of the most bothersome problems. Almost every other person suffers from constipation. Over a period of time, this results in tears in the rectum. Constipation leads to headache and overall discomfort. Constipation is usually called mother of diseases ( Umm ul amraaz = in Urdu / Persian )
Some of the best cures are obtained by changing dietary habits. The diet must include fibrous food, lots of vegetables, fruit, and other roughage. Whole-wheat bread should be preferred to while bread. Regular exercise helps.Routine use of laxatives should be avoided. Sufficient quantities of liquids must be consumed.
Causes :-
According to the medical dictioneries the main causes of constipation include:
• Hardening of the feces
o Insufficient intake of dietary fiber
o Dehydration from any cause or inadequate fluid intake
o Medication, e.g. diuretics and those containing iron, calcium, aluminum
• Paralysis or slowed transit, where peristaltic action is diminished or absent, so that feces are not moved along
o Hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid gland)
o Hypokalemia
o Injured anal sphincter (patulous anus)
o Medications, such as loperamide, opioids (e.g. codeine & morphine) and certain tricyclic antidepressants
o Severe illness due to other causes
o Acute porphyria (a rare inherited condition)
o Lead poisoning
o Lactose Intolerance
o Dyschezia (usually the result of suppressing defecation)
• Diverticula
o Tumors, either of the bowel or surrounding tissues
• Obstructed defecation, due to:
o Mechanical causes from morphological abnormalities of the anorectum including megarectum, rectal prolapse, rectocele, and enterocele
o Functional causes from neurological disorders and dysfunction of the pelvic floor muscles or anorectal muscles, including anismus, descending perineum syndrome, and Hirschsprung's disease
o Retained foreign body or a bezoar
• Psychosomatic constipation, based on anxiety or unfamiliarity with surroundings.
o Functional constipation
o Constipation-predominant irritable bowel syndrome, characterized by a combination of constipation and abdominal discomfort and/or pain[8]
• Smoking cessation (nicotine has a laxative effect)[9]
• Abdominal surgery, other types of surgery, childbirth
• Severe dehydration
• Some causes are with particular respect to infants:[10]
o Switching from breast milk to bottle feeds, or to solid meals
o Potty training anxiety
o Hirschsprung’s disease - a condition from birth where the child has a nerve cell defect that affects communication between the brain and bowels
There are many things you can do to prevent constipation. They include :-
• Eating more fruits, vegetables and grains, which are high in fiber.
• Drinking plenty of water and other liquids
• Getting enough exercise
• Taking time to have a bowel movement when you need to
• Using laxatives only if your doctor says you should
• Asking your doctor if medicines you take may cause constipation
It's not important that you have a bowel movement every day. If your bowel habits change, however, check with your doctor.

FISTULA-ANAL
A very painful channel created between the rectal canal and the skin around the surface of the anus. At times, there is pus formation and slight bleeding.
Definition:- According to the medical Dictionaries A fistula is an abnormal tunnel connecting two body cavities (such as the rectum and the vagina) or a body cavity to the skin (like the rectum to the outside of the body). One way a fistula may form is from an abscess - a pocket of pus in the body. The abscess may be constantly filling with body fluids such as stool or urine, which prevents healing. Eventually the fistula breaks through to the skin, another body cavity, or an organ. Fistulas are more common in Cohn's disease than in ulcerative colitis. Approximately one quarter of people with Cohn's disease develop fistulas.Fistulas often occur in the area around the genitals and anus (known as the perineum).
The four types of fistulas are:
• Enterocutaneous: This type of fistula is from the intestine to the skin. An enterocutaneous fistula may be a complication of surgery. It can be described as a passageway that progresses from the intestine to the surgery site and then to the skin.
• Enteroenteric or Enterocolic: This is a fistula that involves the large or small intestine.
• Enterovaginal: This is a fistula that goes to the vagina.
• Enterovesicular: This type of fistula goes to the bladder. These fistulas may result in frequent urinary tract infections, or the passage of gas from the urethra during urination.
Symptoms
Symptoms of fistulas can include pain, fever, tenderness, itching, and generally feeling poorly. The fistula may also drain pus or a foul-smelling discharge. These symptoms vary based on the severity and location of the fistula.
Diagnosis
Fistulas, depending on their location, can be diagnosed by some of the diagnostic tests often used in IBD. Barium enema, colonoscopy, sigmoidoscopy, or an upper endoscopy may be used.
Another test, a fistulogram, may also be used. In this test, dye is injected into the fistula, and X-rays are taken. The dye helps the fistula to show up better on the X-rays. The dye is inserted into the rectum, similar to an enema, for fistulas that are in the rectum. The dye must be 'held' inside during the procedure. With a fistula that is to the outside of the body, the dye is put into the opening with a small tube. X-rays will be taken from several different angles, so a patient may have to change positions on the X-ray table. As with any other kind of X-ray, remaining still is important .For a suspected enterovesicular (bladder) fistula, an intravenous pyelogram (IVP), another type of X-ray, is performed. Prepping for this test may include a clear liquid diet or fasting, because stool in the colon can obstruct the view of the bladder. The dye (contrast material) is injected into the arm, and several X-rays are taken.
Complications
A fistula may form an abscess when it closes, or if it becomes infected. An abscess is an infection inside a cavity in the body.

DIABETES MELLITUS:
Diabetes is called a silent killer .When the pancreas does not produce sufficient insulin, the body cannot use sugar and starch properly. Sugar accumulates in the blood and the tissues. This leads to certain defects in various parts of the body.
In non-insulin dependent diabetes, although the body produces almost enough of insulin, the body cells are not able to use it effectively.
The first symptoms of diabetes are abnormal thirst and abnormal passing of urine, both day and night. The taking of fluids does not reduce the feeling of thirst. The vision is blurred. Fatigue overtakes. When there is no insulin or its is less than what is required, the appetite increase. Yet there is a weight loss. In men the penis itches. In women, there is itching in the vulva.
The patient develops ulcers on the feet. He experiences numbness in the hands and the feet.
Diabetes is not curable; but, it is controllable. Expert medical advice must be obtained. A controlled diet is of great help , however, the medicines given below would help.
Many types of diabetes are recognized. The principal three are:
• Type 1: Results from the body's failure to produce insulin. It is estimated that 5-10% of Americans who are diagnosed with diabetes have type 1 diabetes. Presently almost all persons with type 1 diabetes must take insulin injections.
• Type 2: Results from Insulin resistance, a condition in which cells fail to use insulin properly, sometimes combined with relative insulin deficiency. Most Americans who are diagnosed with diabetes have type 2 diabetes. Many people destined to develop type 2 diabetes spend many years in a state of Pre-diabetes: Termed "America's largest healthcare epidemic,"[4]:10-11, pre-diabetes indicates a condition that occurs when a person's blood glucose levels are higher than normal but not high enough for a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes. As of 2009 there are 57 million Americans who have pre-diabetes. Gestational diabetes: Pregnant women who have never had diabetes before but who have high blood sugar (glucose) levels during pregnancy are said to have gestational diabetes. Gestational diabetes affects about 4% of all pregnant women. It may precede development of type 2 (or rarely type 1).In Homoeopathy DIABETES MELLITUS may be controlled effectively without any reverse reactions.It have naot any cure in any way of treatments , however Homoeopathy it has an edge that their are not harmful side effects, if these remedies are according to the symptoms , Diabetes may be controlled .

BED WETTING
In some children, the nervous system which controls the movement of the bladder matures rather slowly. Hence, even after the age of 3, they continue to pass urine at night in bed.Bedwetting is involuntary urination while asleep after the age at which bladder control would normally be anticipated. The medical term for this condition is "nocturnal enuresis." Primary nocturnal enuresis (PNE) is when a child has not yet stayed dry on a regular basis. Secondary nocturnal enuresis (SNE) is when a child or adult begins wetting again after having stayed dry.Bedwetting is the most common pediatric-health issue. Studies show that parents become worried too quickly because they expect children to stay dry too early. Most girls can stay dry by age six and most boys stay dry by age seven. By ten years old, 95% of children are dry at night. Studies place adult bedwetting rates at between 0.5% to 2.3%.
Most bedwetting is a developmental delay, not an emotional problem or physical illness. Only a small percentage (5% to 10%) of bedwetting cases are caused by specific medical situations.Bedwetting is frequently associated with a family history of the condition.
Treatment ranges from behavioral-based options such as bedwetting alarms, to medication.Since most bedwetting is simply a developmental delay, most treatment plans aim to protect or improve self-esteem. Bedwetting children and adults can suffer emotional stress or psychological injury if they feel shamed by the condition. Treatment guidelines recommend that the physician counsel the parents, warning about psychological damage caused by pressure, shaming, or punishment for a condition children cannot control.

BACKACHE / LUMBAGO / PAIN.
Backache is a very common complaint but rarely a symptom of a serious disease. It usually results from wrong posture, form wrong lifting of weight or from strain or injury. Usually the middle or lower back is the seat of pain. Backache is also known as Lumbago.
According to the Encyclopaedia Back pain (also known "dorsalgia") is pain felt in the back that usually originates from the muscles, nerves, bones, joints or other structures in the spine.The pain can often be divided into neck pain, upper back pain, lower back pain or tailbone pain. It may have a sudden onset or can be a chronic pain; it can be constant or intermittent, stay in one place or radiate to other areas. It may be a dull ache, or a sharp or piercing or burning sensation. The pain may be radiate into the arm and hand), in the upper back, or in the low back, (and might radiate into the leg or foot), and may include symptoms other than pain, such as weakness, numbness or tingling.Back pain is one of humanity's most frequent complaints. In the U.S., acute low back pain (also called lumbago) is the fifth most common reason for physician visits. About nine out of ten adults experience back pain at some point in their life, and five out of ten working adults have back pain every year.The spine is a complex interconnecting network of nerves, joints, muscles, tendons and ligaments, and all are capable of producing pain. Large nerves that originate in the spine and go to the legs and arms can make pain radiate to the extremities.

News For Pregnant Moms.
A recent study in the journal Obstetrics & Gynecology shows that moms who gained more than 40 pounds during their pregnancy were twice as likely to have babies who were too large, compared to other moms. In fact, out of 40,000 moms in the study, 1 in 5 of them had gained too much weight during their pregnancy.
Moms who gain too much weight during pregnancy are at increased risk of facing serious health complications such as gestational diabetes, gestational hypertension and preeclampsia. Also, a pregnant mom who gains too much weight is more likely to encounter difficulties during labor and childbirth, such as a baby stuck in the birth canal, vaginal tearing, c-section, a longer hospital stay and other recovery complications.
Babies born to overweight or obese moms face their own special health risks, too. These newborns are at increased risk of being born prematurely, having certain birth defects and needing special care in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Some studies even suggest that babies born too big are more likely to face obesity in their childhood, which is a growing problem in the U.S.Posted by Dr.Mubashar Ahmad Khan at 5:29 PM 0 comments

PSORIASIS.
Psorias( Chambal in Urdu ) is a chronic skin eruption .Red patches develop slowly and are covered with silvery white , hard and dry scales .The lesions are permanent rough and red. There is no itching The area affected are the scalp , the eyebrows ,the elbows ,the fingernails ,the back ,the buttocks and the knees.
According to the dermatologists The scaly patches caused by psoriasis, called psoriatic plaques, are areas of inflammation and excessive skin production. Skin rapidly accumulates at these sites and takes on a silvery-white appearance. Plaques frequently occur on the skin of the elbows and knees, but can affect any area including the scalp and genitals. In contrast to eczema, psoriasis is more likely to be found on the extensor aspect of the joint.
The disorder is a chronic recurring condition that varies in severity from minor localized patches to complete body coverage. Fingernails and toenails are frequently affected (psoriatic nail dystrophy) and can be seen as an isolated finding. Psoriasis can also cause inflammation of the joints, which is known as psoriatic arthritis. Ten to fifteen percent of people with psoriasis have psoriatic arthritis.
Psoriasis probably one of the longest known illnesses of humans and simultaneously one of the most misunderstood. Some scholars believe psoriasis to have been included among the skin conditions called tzaraat in the Bible. In more recent times psoriasis was frequently described as a variety of leprosy. The Greeks used the term lepra ( λεπρα) for scaly skin conditions. They used the term psora to describe itchy skin conditions.

EMERGENCY IN HOMOEOPATHY ( HEART )
A medical emergency is an a condition , injury or illness that is acute .This condition also poses an immediate risk to a person's life or long term health. These emergencies may require assistance from another person, who should ideally be suitably qualified to do so. Like allopathy , Homoeopathy have many Emergency remedies which can be administered according to the condition of the patient. Some emergencies may be treated with medicines , however where it is life threatening the patient would be referred to the nearest Hospital, emergencilly , because there cannot be take a risk .
In Homoeopathy there is great remedy named ARNICA. Simply doses of ARNICA 1M and ARNICA 12C; it is also a specific scientifically tested and verified protocol for using pre- and post-surgery. Whether you need surgery as a result of trauma, disease, or for cosmetic reasons, this product may be helpful in helping to recover from the surgery. This integration of using the best that conventional medicine offer through surgery and the best that natural medicine offers through a tested-method of using homeopathic Arnica creates a new model of real quality health care.
Speeds recovery from major traumas:
• Fractures & sprains
• Facial injuries
• Muscle pulls

Plus Sports Injuries:

Arnica Montana – also known simply as “Arnica”– has been used for centuries to reduce the uncomfortable swelling and bruising associated with a physical trauma. Prepared from a daisy-like plant native to the Swiss Alps, the herb is toxic; conversely, the resulting homeopathic medication is not, due to the small doses of Arnica used in Homeopathy.
Major physical traumas result in broken or crushed blood vessels bleeding into injured muscle and/or connective tissue. Trauma Care is proven in research studies to speed the body’s natural response to injury. The body’s healing process is to re-establish normal blood flow, re-build the injured tissue, and remove the damaged, torn, crushed, or cut muscle fibers and connective tissue.
Specifically designed to speed recovery from a major physical trauma, Trauma care is generally considered too strong for a minor bump or bruise. A “major trauma” is an injury which causes disruption to your normal routine, taking several days or weeks to heal on its own. Here we will discuss on Heart Emergency only.In the next sessions we will discuss on other emergencies.

Reshape Your Body With HOMOEOPATHY.
It will be a good news that without costly surgeries and exercises you can reshape your body and may be look smart and handsome. Why is this possible? Answer is with Homoeopathy .May you have not knowledge that it could be possible to reshape the body or change one’s appearance without the use of costly exercise regimes or surgeries? That it is possible to highlight or enhance a part of your anatomy or even reduce the extra ‘curves’ without body sculpting?
The answer lies in Plastic Medicine, a science that was accidentally brought to the notice of a French homoeopath, Dr. Jean-Pierre Gallavardin, while treating his patients. Plastic medicine is a science that one can study and apply while treating self or the patients. After the plastic arts that we owe to painters and to sculptors, we have the plastic surgery which gives shapes to the nose, to the face, to a limb and which we owe to allopathy. Then we have the plastic medicine, which we owe to Homoeopathy.
At the first approach, it would seem unlikely that by the help of remedies, some parts of the body as regards their formations and colour can be modified . However if a remedy increases the nutrition of a particular part it will increase its plumpness and by bringing the repletion of tissues, it will cause to disappear the folds and the wrinkles. If another remedy diminishes the nutrition of a part, it will diminish its plumpness.
The first of these remedies, by causing the flow of blood in that part will give colour (more or less rosy) to that part .The second, by causing the diminution of the flow of blood in that part of the body, will bring about paleness.
With some appropriate remedies therefore, one may increase the plumpness and the colour of certain parts of the body and with some other remedies obesity and colour of those parts may be diminished.
Here are some examples of drugs that were found very effective as plastic medicines:
PLASTIC Medicines:
1. When there is a glandular swelling on the body with simultaneous disappearance of the breasts, Iodium 200 should be considered.
2. Breasts not developed with chlorotic anaemia- Ignatia 200.
3. When the shoulders and buttocks are very large and the breasts are too small- Calcarea carbonica 200.
4. Deformed breasts after feeding or delivery- Pulsatilla, Bryonia, Belladonna or Mercurius vivus.
5. Breasts too big- Nux vomica.
6. Neck very short and very big with an enormous double chin- Nux vomica 200.
7. Dark skinned men with an enormous belly- Nux vomica 10M (in women with an enormous belly- Nux vomica 200 ).
8. To make the skin fair from an unhealthy colour- Mercurius cyanatus.
9. Buttocks very fat- Nux vomica.
10. Pelvis, hips, buttocks very fat- Baryta carb, Calcarea carb, Antim crud.
11. Pelvis, hips, buttocks very thin- Silicea, Lycopodium, Sulphur.
12. Arms very lean- Graphites.
13. Face easily sun burnt- Sepia, Nux vomica, Sulphur, Nitric acid.
14. Lips wanting in red flesh- Mercurius solubilis, Nitric acid, arsenic.
15. Cheeks very lean- China , Phos. acid, Arsenic, Terebinth.
16. Chin very fat (double, triple)- Calcarea carb, Antim crud, Baryta. Pulsatilla, Nux vomica
17. Thinness of the four limbs, obesity of the face, neck, breasts, belly and hips- Nux vomica.
18. Ridges on the skin of the face- Lyco, Silicea.
19. Vertical ridges between the eyes- Natrum mur.
20. Horizontal ridges on the forehead- Lyco, Sepia, Sulphur.
21. Ridge of the two lips, which are folded like monkey’s- Arsenic, Lachesis.
22. Lines on the belly of a woman during pregnancy- Sepia, Natrum mur.
N.B :-When one wishes to make a part bigger, the remedy should be given during the increasing moon i.e. the 2nd, 3rd, 4th day after the new moon.
When one wishes to diminish the plumpness of the part, the remedy should be given during the decreasing moon i.e. the 2nd, 3rd, 4th day after the full moon.
Every homoeopathic doctor may find some plastic remedies, if they observe attentively the effects produced by a single dose of a remedy in 200 dilution and that it is allowed to act for 3, 5 or 8 weeks.
However, a note of caution- in the plastic treatment these doctors will be successful at first only in 30 percent of cases, then in the long run they will be successful in more than 50 percent cases .In the book there are more many medicines . In next article they also be mentioned .

PAINLESS DELIVERY WITH HOMOEOPATHY , IT IS SAFEST AND WITHOUT SIDE EFFECTS.
If anybody asks that if in Homoeopathy have any remedies that make sure safer and Painless Delivery in females who have no any side Effects ? So its reply is YES . Homoeopathy have remedies who make sure the safer and Painless delivery . However , we first of all know about the physiology of Labor, delivery etc.
The three stages of explusion of the infant and placenta constitute delivery.During the labor or delivery there is stretching of the cervix, uterus, vagina and perineum leading to stretching of nerve fibres supplying them, thus causing pain. The soft tissues are squeezed due to fetal skull and add pain. This is the reason why pain subsides and decrease in intensity after the head comes out.
There are various methods to have a painless delivery or delivery with minimal pain but each methods have some advantages associated with some disadvantages.
Pregnancy and child birth is the most precious gift for women given by God. The only one thing which makes a pregnant lady curious, anxious and fearful is the pain during delivery .While our mothers and grandmothers quietly bore this pain while delivering normal and healthy babies, it is the modern-day woman who is largely resorting to anesthetic intervention.
Epidural Anesthesia or Epidural for short is a popular painkiller administered during labor to achieve a virtually painless delivery. It has been in use in the western countries for decades, so it has been introduced especially for performing C-section surgeries, in Pakistan also.
Epidural literally means the part of human spine inside the spinal canal which is separated from the spinal cord. It is into the epidural space that a trained anesthetist injects the painkilling drugs through a catheter. The epidural space contains only loose tissue and veins, which means that it is very easy injecting there. The effects of the painkiller vary from patient to patient. Numbness lasts about 60 to 90 minutes.
Side Effects:-
Its use, however, has been open to debate for its side effects, some of which may be dangerous. The three main side effects of an epidural injection are :loss of other modalities of sensation loss of muscle power. loss of function of the sympathetic nervous system, which controls blood pressure.
HOMOEOPATHY REMEDIES FOR PAINFUL DELIVERY:-
Perhaps Homoeopathy is the only way of Treatment in which safer and painless delivery is possible .These remedies act as a tonic to the uterine muscles. These dilate the lower segment and reinforces the contractions at the fundus. Tones up the abdominal and pelvic muscles and helps the delivery.
Symptoms:
Pain, contraction, bearing down pains.
Treatment :-
Caulophyllum thalktroides; Q = Ensures Painlnless Delivery if it is given Twice since 7th month . If in Labor it is given it ensures safer delivery. This remedy acts as a tonic to the uterine muscles. It dilates the lower segment and reinforces the contractions at the fundus.
Also Aconitum napellus; Arnica Montana ,Gelsemium sempervirens; Phosphorus; Silicea; Staphysagria.
Aconitum napellus: Allays anxiety during child-birth. Given as pre-operative medication for caesarean section or forceps delivery.
Arnica montana: Heals injuries in the birth passage.
Gelsemium sempervirens: Tones up the abdominal and pelvic muscles and helps the delivery.
Phosphorus: To arrest bleeding.
Silicea: Useful in the elderly primipara.
Staphysagria: Heals episiotomy wounds.
N.B.This may be noted here that all these remedies will be according to the symptoms.Posted by Dr.Mubashar Ahmad Khan at 5:16 PM 0 comments
