1. How does the Palwick-Fit device work?
Using special sensors, the device RECORDS microsignals from working muscles (electromyogram, EMG), measures muscle effort, displays it on the monitor screen and controls the progress of the training.
2. Is it possible to increase the strength of the pelvic floor muscles in another way?
Increasing muscle strength and tone cannot be achieved by any other means other than training. Look at the athletes. Do they sit in comfortable chairs with electrical muscle stimulators? No, they constantly run, lift weights, that is, they train to make their muscles strong and voluminous. “Pelwick-Fit” allows patients to do the same: “pump up” the pelvic floor muscles and restore their nervous regulation.
3. Is it possible to train the pelvic floor muscles without the Palwick-Fit device?
The pelvic floor muscles, unlike other muscles in our body, are not subject to conscious control (tension through willpower). These muscles are involved in reflex reactions of urination, defecation, and sexual reflexes. We do not feel the work of these muscles. Therefore, in order to learn how to intensively strain the pelvic floor muscles, visual control of their work is necessary. This is exactly what Palwick-Fit does. The sensor registers microsignals from the muscles and they, in an understandable form, are displayed on the computer screen. This is the only way to effectively train the pelvic floor muscles.
4. What are the differences between the effects when using the Palwick-Fit device and drugs such as Viagra for sexual dysfunction in men?
Drugs of the sildenafil group (Viagra, etc.) effectively, but for a limited time, increase blood flow to the penis and, thereby, enhance erection for the duration of the drug's effect. But for many men, the outflow of blood from the cavernous bodies is too large, so the erection is incomplete and cannot be compensated pharmacologically, in principle. "Pelvik-Fit" strengthens the work of the muscles that control the outflow of blood from the cavernous bodies. These muscles restore the ability to compress the efferent veins, thereby solving the problem of erection in the long term. In addition, Palwick-Fit restores the nervous regulation of the ejaculation reflex, which has not yet been effectively treated pharmacologically. "Pelvik-Fit" has no contraindications and can significantly enhance the effect of drugs such as Viagra.
5. Does Pelvic-Fit help with diseases? prostate gland?
Yes, it helps. Prostatitis and prostate adenoma are treated pharmacologically. However, this treatment is significantly hampered by venous congestion and lymphostasis. "Pelvik-Fit" solves this problem much more effectively than any other means and methods. The device repeatedly increases blood flow in the prostate gland, which is the main factor in increasing efficiency drug therapy. At the same time, “Pelvik-Fit” solves the problem of restoring sexual functions impaired pathological processes in the prostate gland.
Peripheral circulation - blood flow in small arteries, arterioles, capillaries, postcapillary venules, arteriovenular anastomoses, venules and small veins. As a result of structural or functional disorders, the following circulatory disorders may occur:
1) Arterial hyperemia - increased tissue filling arterial blood. It manifests itself as redness and warming of the skin over the affected area. It develops under the influence of chemicals, toxins, inflammatory products, fever, and allergies.
2) Venous hyperemia - an increase in blood supply to an organ or tissue as a result of obstructed blood outflow through the veins. Manifested by blueness of the tissues. Causes: compression of veins or their blockage, weakening of the heart muscle, obstruction of blood flow in the pulmonary circulation.
3) Ischemia - limited or complete disruption of the arterial blood supply. Causes: compression, blockage or spasm of the arteries. It manifests itself as pain due to the accumulation, under conditions of reduced oxygen supply to the tissues, of under-oxidized metabolic products - inflammatory mediators.
4) Stasis - slowing down and stopping blood flow in capillaries, small arteries and veins. Reasons: high or low temperatures, poisoning, high concentrations table salt, turpentine, mustard oil, microorganism toxins.
5) Thrombosis - the formation of blood clots consisting of its elements and preventing normal blood flow. It manifests itself as swelling and cyanosis of the tissues.
6) Embolism - blockage of blood vessels foreign bodies(microorganisms, drops of fat) or gases.
TO clinical forms peripheral circulatory disorders include obliterating endarteritis, thrombophlebitis and phlebothrombosis, thromboembolism pulmonary artery, chronic disorders cerebral circulation, varicose veins lower limbs, eye diseases ischemic origin, Raynaud's disease.
The complaints that patients make are varied. You should contact a specialist if:
Pain in the legs at the end of the day, when walking or standing for a long time; swelling and cyanosis of the lower extremities;
- there are headaches, tinnitus, hearing loss, sleep disturbances, memory disorders, unsteadiness when walking, numbness in the arm or leg, speech disorders, swallowing disorders;
- there is chilliness in the hands, pain in the fingers during exertion, whitening of the hands when cooling;
- there is a decrease in visual acuity or loss of visual fields.
Means for improving peripheral circulation
Drugs that improve peripheral circulation include:
1) Drugs that improve microcirculation. Angioprotectors. Normalize capillary permeability, improve metabolic processes in the walls of blood vessels. Curantyl (dipyridomol), persantine, trental, flexital, vasonite, radomin, pentoxifylline, doxy-chem.
2) Low molecular weight dextran preparations. The drugs attract additional volumes of blood from the intercellular space into the bloodstream. Improves blood fluidity. Reomacrodex, reopoliglucin.
3) Prostaglandin E1 preparations. Improves blood flow, microcirculation, and elasticity of red blood cells. Increases blood anticoagulant activity. Dilates blood vessels, reducing peripheral vascular resistance and blood pressure. Vazaprostan.
4) Calcium channel blockers. They improve microcirculation of brain vessels and have a cerebroprotective effect. Used primarily for cerebrovascular accidents. Cordafen, cordaflex, nimotop, stugeron, cinnarizine, adalat, arifon, grindeke, brainal, diacordin, cordipin, cortiazem, logax, lacipil, nafadil, nemotan, nifecard, stamlo, foridon, cinedil, cinnasan, plendil, norvax.
5) Myotropic antispasmodics. Drugs in this group are capable of dilating blood vessels, increasing cerebral blood flow. They are highly effective in treating cerebral vascular spasms. Less effective for vascular damage due to atherosclerosis. The disadvantages of drugs (except for Cavinton) include the phenomenon of stealing - dilation of predominantly intact vessels with a decrease in blood flow to starving areas of the brain.
Drugs in this group have the ability to dilate blood vessels, increasing cerebral blood flow. As a rule, they are highly effective for spasms of cerebral vessels, but with the development of sclerotic processes, the ability of cerebral vessels to relax decreases and, consequently, the effectiveness of vasodilators also decreases.
funds. In addition, these drugs can cause the phenomenon of intracerebral “steal” (absent in Cavinton), when, under the influence of vasodilators, a preferential expansion of intact vessels occurs and blood flow is redistributed in favor of healthy areas of the brain.
No-shpa, no-shpa forte, drotaverine, halidor, cavinton, mydocalm, nikoshpan, spasmol, aminophylline.
6) Herbal medicines. Preparations made from natural raw materials. Unlike synthetic drugs, the effect of this group develops more slowly; the therapeutic effect is exerted by a combination of compounds. Effective for diseases of cerebral vessels and obliterating diseases of the lower extremities. Bilobil, tanakan
7) Bioflavonoids. They have the ability to improve blood fluidity by increasing the elasticity of red blood cells. Normalize capillary blood flow. Venoruton, troxevasin, anthoxide.
8) Ganglioblockers. They dilate arterioles, venules, and small veins, thereby achieving a decrease in blood pressure. Promote the redistribution of blood into the vessels of the lower extremities. Dimecoline, camphonium, pachycarpine, pentamin, pyrylene, temekhin,
9) Alpha adrenergic blockers. They cause dilation of blood vessels in the skin, kidneys, intestines, especially arterioles and precapillaries, reducing their overall resistance, improving blood supply to peripheral tissues. Sermion, nilogrin, prazosin, pyrroxan, phentolamine.
10) Dopamine receptor stimulants. The vasodilating effect is carried out due to the stimulation of dopamine receptors, which are also present in the vessels of the lower extremities. Increases blood flow in the vessels of the lower extremities. Pronoran.
Since diseases based on disturbances in peripheral blood flow lead without timely treatment to disability, self-medication is contraindicated.
Vascular changes or circulatory disorders are a fairly common problem modern humanity. Stress, poor nutrition, insufficient vitamins, lack of time to rest, sedentary lifestyle, smoking and others bad habits– all this leads to the development of serious disorders in our body.
A number of signs may indicate a circulatory disorder:
- frequent headaches (migraines),
- dizziness,
- memory impairment,
- nosebleeds,
- pain in the heart area,
- blurred vision,
- changes in blood pressure,
- vegetative-vascular dystonia,
- numbness, coldness of the extremities,
- feeling of stuffiness,
- varicose veins veins,
- haemorrhoids.
Headache and dizziness are the main symptoms of circulatory disorders in the brain
To prevent and correct these symptoms, medications are used to improve blood circulation.
These drugs can be divided into several categories depending on the factor causing the changes.
Medicines that improve brain microcirculation
They can be divided into three types.
Substances that promote vasodilation. Depending on the impact they are:
- neurotropic vasodilators - dilate blood vessels, affecting the central nervous system(Dihydroergotoxin);
- myotropic vasodilators - increase the lumen of blood vessels by relaxing muscle fibers (Cavinton, Vincamine, Nimotop, Eufillin);
- angioprotective – restoration of the elasticity of the vessel wall (Parmidin).
Cavinton dilates brain vessels, increases blood flow and improves oxygen supply to neurons
Agents that improve blood flow and regulate blood clotting. They differ in their properties:
- anti-aggregation properties - prevent platelet clumping (Curantil, Acetylsalicylic acid);
- anticoagulants - prevent excessive blood clotting (Heparin, Warfarin);
- low molecular weight dextrans – data ability medicinal substances linger in bloodstream, due to its low molecular weight, helps normalize blood pressure and restore circulating blood volume (Reopoliglucin).
Drugs aimed at lowering blood lipid levels. Prevention of the formation of cholesterol plaques (Lovastatin).
Drugs that improve nutrition and metabolic processes in the brain
- Medicines whose action is aimed at regulating oxygen consumption in the blood as a prevention of hypoxia, ischemia, etc. (Actovegin, Glycine).
- Antioxidants are substances that neutralize the effects of free radicals and normalize cell function (Tocopherol, Aevit).
Actovegin has a complex effect on metabolic processes in tissues
Agents that accelerate metabolic processes in the brain by accelerating the transmission of nerve impulses from one cell to another (Cerebrolysin).
Means combining the first two groups
All medical supplies are divided into the following groups:
- synthetic - this type of drug contains various chemical substances;
- biological - medicines plant origin(Vinca alkaloids, Ginkgo biloba);
- combined - mixed, containing both biological and synthetic components, and components that enhance the effect of the former. This group also includes dietary supplements (biologically active substances), which are not drugs, but are widely used in medicine in combination with other chemicals.
Vasobral is a complex vasodilator drug
Vascular drugs to improve blood circulation should not be taken without a doctor’s prescription, since taking these medications in inaccurate dosages can lead to negative consequences.
In addition to tablets, suppositories and injection solutions, there are drugs local action, improving venous circulation (in the form of gels, ointments, creams). Their goals are aimed at eliminating mast manifestations of congestion, such as varicose veins and thrombophlebitis.
These funds can be divided into several types:
- The first includes substances that strengthen the walls of the blood vessel, increase their elasticity and strength, and also prevent their permeability - phlebotonics (Troxerutin, Troxevasin).
- The second type includes heparin-based substances that improve blood movement through the vessels. They thin the blood, prevent the adhesion and accumulation of blood cells, reducing the risk of thrombosis and hematomas (Heparin ointment, Hepatrombin).
- Another variety is herbal ointments, which may contain extracts horse chestnut, ginkgo biloba, calendula, menthol, etc. (Cycloven, Normoven, Dr. Theis ointment - venene gel).
Selection of drugs for local application wide enough. It is advisable to consult a doctor before use. But if this problem catches you on the road, for example, and there is no such possibility, you need to pay attention to the composition of the product you have chosen to eliminate allergic reactions on the components of the ointment.
Various functional and organic lesions can lead to cerebral circulatory disorders blood vessels, which are caused by injuries or systemic diseases of the body. Blood clots, intoxications, transferred infectious diseases, stress, vascular spasms and mechanical compression - all these disorders can significantly destabilize the blood supply to the brain and cause a malfunction in its normal functioning, which regulates everything life processes person.
The pharmaceutical industry offers a wide selection of drugs to improve cerebral circulation. How can you not get confused and know what type of medicine your doctor prescribed for you? This is what this article is about.
Main types of drugs
Prevention and treatment of cerebral circulatory disorders should not be delayed when the first symptoms appear, since the progression of such pathologies can lead to serious consequences (, etc.) and even fatal outcome. A wide range of drugs are used for these purposes:
- anticoagulants and antiplatelet agents;
- vasodilators;
Drawing up a regimen for the treatment and prevention of cerebrovascular accidents is possible after a detailed examination of the patient and can only be carried out by a doctor. Self-medication in such situations is unacceptable and can lead to various serious consequences. In our article we will only introduce you to the most popular means to normalize cerebral circulation and systematize them.
Drugs for vasodilation
The action of vasodilators is aimed at increasing blood flow to brain cells and improving its blood supply. This pharmachologic effect allows you to prevent oxygen starvation and insufficiency nutrients. These drugs also help improve energy metabolism in brain cells and normalization of its functions.
Calcium antagonists
Drugs of this group have long been used to improve cerebral circulation, and the modern pharmacological industry is already developing the third generation of these drugs. Calcium antagonists promote dilation of the arteries (by relaxing their muscle wall) and do not affect the tone of the venous vessels. Once their effects begin, cerebral blood flow increases and sufficient oxygen and nutrients are delivered to the brain.
These drugs can have a systemic effect on the body and should be taken only after an examination has been carried out to determine the advisability of their use. Their dosage and duration of administration are strictly individual and can only be prescribed by a doctor.
Preparations based on nicotinic acid:
- Enduratin;
- Nikoshpan;
- A nicotinic acid;
- Nicofuranose;
- Acipimox.
Such drugs are taken in courses of injections, which are performed under medical supervision, since self-medication with nicotinic acid derivatives is unacceptable and can lead to severe complications. Next, the patient can be prescribed tablet forms of nicotinic acid.
Preparations for strengthening the walls of blood vessels
The purpose of prescribing such medications and dietary supplements to improve cerebral circulation is to maintain the elasticity of the walls of blood vessels.
Preparations based on vitamins and some minerals can have this effect:
- vitamin P – Ascorutin, Blueberry Forte, etc.;
- selenium, potassium, silicon - various vitamin and mineral complexes and dietary supplements (Greenvit, Lecithin formula for blood vessels, Nootropic, Microhydrin);
- dihydroquercetin – Flavit, Flaol, Flukol, Dihydroquercetin NTG, etc.
Vitamins and minerals can be used not only to treat cerebrovascular accidents, but also to prevent their occurrence. These medicines and dietary supplements can be taken without a doctor’s prescription, but taking into account all the recommendations specified in the instructions.
Nootropic drugs
These medications help stimulate metabolism in nervous tissue, increase the brain's resistance to oxygen deficiency, and improve intellectual abilities and memory. Some of them are made from animal brain tissue and contain natural amino acids.
Nootropics include the following drugs:
- Cerebrolysin;
- Pantogam;
- Microhydrin;
- Glutamic acid;
- Glycine;
- Piracetam;
- Cortexin;
- Phenotropil;
- Actovegin et al.
These drugs can be used to treat many conditions accompanied by impaired cerebral blood flow: vascular dementia, coma, chronic ischemia brain, asthenic syndromes, acute disorders cerebral circulation, delay mental development etc. Nootropics can only be prescribed by a doctor after a detailed examination of the patient.
Anticoagulants and antiplatelet agents
The main purpose of prescribing anticoagulants and antiplatelet agents is to reduce blood viscosity and improve its fluidity. This effect achieves normalization of cerebral circulation.
These drugs are prescribed in the presence of risk and transient cerebrovascular accidents. Antiplatelet agents prevent the formation of blood clots and the development of thromboembolism.
For such purposes, the patient may be prescribed the following drugs:
- Aspirin, Ecotrin, Aspilat, ThromboASS, Akuprin, Aspo, etc.;
- Ticlopidine;
- Curantyl (Dipyridamole);
- Clopidogrel (Plavix);
- Pentoxifylline (Trental).
Prescription of antiplatelet agents can only be carried out by a doctor after studying the data laboratory research and identification possible contraindications to their use. The duration of their administration will be determined individually.
The prescription of anticoagulants is aimed at reducing blood clotting and improving microcirculation in the capillaries. Depending on the indications, the following drugs can be used:
- Warfarin;
- Clexane;
- Unfractionated heparin;
- Fraxiparine;
- Fragmin.
When taking drugs from these groups, in order to avoid the development of complications, the patient is recommended to periodically take biochemical analysis blood and hemocoagulogram. If increased bleeding, bruising, vomiting with blood or black feces occurs, the patient should immediately seek medical help.
Homeopathic remedies
Golden iodine (1 g of granules contains Aurum iodatum C6, Barium carbonicum C6), is recommended at the first signs of cerebrovascular insufficiency (tinnitus, headaches, unsteady gait, memory loss, etc.).
