nine0002 The human nervous system is anatomically divided into two parts: central (CNS) and peripheral (PNS). It is a complex structure that permeates all organs and tissues of our body. It is thanks to it that self-regulation of all vital functions of the body is possible, as well as the perception, storage and processing of the information received. Nerve impulses allow us to feel and perceive the world around us in all its versatility. However, due to the complexity and fragility of the structure of the nervous system, injuries, injuries and diseases (including genetic ones) can disrupt its well-coordinated work. nine0003

The most common diseases of the nervous system:

  • Acute pathologies affecting the vessels of the brain. These include stroke, dyscirculatory encephalopathy, intracerebral hemorrhages, intracranial arterial aneurysms, etc.
  • Sequelae of traumatic brain injury
  • CNS infectious diseases: meningitis, encephalitis, brain abscess, poliomyelitis and others
  • Multiple sclerosis
  • Epilepsy
  • Age-related diseases of the nervous system - Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease
  • Spinal osteochondrosis
  • Genetic and inherited diseases of the nervous system. This group includes such pathologies as Leigh's syndrome, Tourette's syndrome, spinal muscular atrophy, Huntington's and Batten's diseases, etc.
  • Various disorders in the work of the peripheral nervous system: neuralgia, neuritis, lumbalgia and others.
    • nine0035

    Symptoms of diseases of the nervous system

    Due to the variety of forms and types of neurological disorders, it is difficult to identify common symptoms, but there are a number of the most common signs that may indicate the development of a disease of the nervous system. These include:

    • Sleep disorders - insomnia
    • Increased anxiety and irritability
    • Decreased performance, lethargy, drowsiness
      • nine0017 Memory problems, reduced alertness
    • Occurrence of obsessive thoughts and phobias
    • Nervous tics, involuntary muscle contractions
    • Headaches, migraines, pain in limbs
    • Frequent fluctuations in blood pressure
    • Disorders of smell, taste disturbances, vision problems

    Treatment of diseases of the nervous system in a sanatorium

    In case of disorders in the central or peripheral nervous system, depending on individual indications and contraindications, the patient may be prescribed various procedures. Most often, the program for the treatment of diseases of the nervous system includes balneotherapy, water and mud therapy, various types of manual and hardware massage, and physiotherapy. In addition, during a holiday in a sanatorium, it is much easier to follow a daily schedule of activity and sleep, follow a diet and other prescriptions of the attending physician. nine0003

    STDs in men and women: explanation, symptoms, treatment, prevention, list of tests and making an appointment with a doctor

    STDs (sexually transmitted diseases) are a category of diseases that are transmitted through sexual contact. As a result, not only the genitals are affected, but the entire body. Today, sexually transmitted diseases are quite common. This is due to the early onset of sexual relations among young people and the frequent change of partners. The spread of disease is also facilitated by the use of hormonal and other contraceptives, which are increasingly replacing condoms. Professional and comprehensive treatment of sexually transmitted diseases allows you to quickly return to your usual way of life and forget about the unpleasant experience. nine0003

    STD classification

    All sexually transmitted diseases are divided into several groups:

    • Fungal infections. The most popular is candidiasis. Infection is predominantly those people who often use antibiotics, suffer from reduced immunity and other concomitant pathologies
    • Viral infections. These include HIV, hepatitis B, genital herpes, molluscum contagiosum, etc.
    • Bacterial infections. These diseases are also very dangerous for human health and life. These include syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, ureaplasmosis, etc.
    • Parasitic lesions. The most common of these are pubic lice and scabies

    Methods of transmission of STDs

    Sexually transmitted diseases can be spread through vaginal, oral, or anal contact. Genital herpes, for example, can be contracted even by simple skin-to-skin contact (if there is even a small injury on it).

    Signs of diseases

    The main symptoms of STDs in women and men include: nine0003

    • Itching, rash in the intimate area and redness
    • Enlarged lymph nodes
    • Painful urination
    • Discomfort and pain in the groin or lower abdomen
    • Changing the nature of discharge from the genitals
    • Discomfort during intimacy

    Each of the pathologies has a number of signs that are characteristic of it.

    If you notice any unpleasant symptoms, you should consult a doctor as soon as possible, undergo an examination and take tests. nine0003

    Most common STDs

    Common diseases include:

    • Chlamydia. The disease is transmitted only sexually. In the early stages of the pathological process, there are almost always no symptoms. As men develop, they suffer from cutting pain during the act of ejaculation and urination. Symptoms are provoked by inflammation of the epididymis and urethra. In women, the infection may not manifest itself at all, while it often becomes the cause of ectopic pregnancy and infertility
    • Hepatitis B. This infectious disease leads to the destruction of liver cells. Pathology is dangerous because it can be asymptomatic for a long time and, with development, become the cause of fibrosis and cirrhosis. Infection is possible not only through sexual contact, but also at home, during injections, etc.
    • Candidiasis ("thrush"). This disease is caused by yeast-like fungi, which can be actively multiplied by hypothermia, stress, hormonal changes (including during pregnancy) and other factors
    • Trichomoniasis. This disease also does not manifest itself in the early stages. With the development of pathology, men complain of burning in the urethra and discharge from the penis, and women suffer from both discharge with an unpleasant odor and cutting pain during sexual intercourse
    • Gonorrhea. This pathology occurs mainly in young people. In men, symptoms appear as early as 1-2 days after infection and manifest as painful and frequent urination, as well as profuse purulent discharge from the urethra. Women suffer from pain during intercourse and spotting. Patients also complain of a general deterioration in their condition
    • Genital herpes. Within 1-2 days after contact, small bubbles appear on the genitals, which cause itching. After a while, the bubbles turn into sores. Patients complain of fever and swollen lymph nodes
    • Syphilis. The first symptoms of this STD appear 8-12 days after infection. Rashes appear on the genitals. Also, a rash can form on the fingers and in the mouth. Often, patients note an increase in the cervical and inguinal (mainly) lymph nodes. Pathology is dangerous for a number of its complications, which include even meningitis
    • Ureaplasmosis. Symptoms of pathology appear 2-3 weeks after infection. Patients complain of burning sensation during urination and cloudy discharge from the genitals. The fair sex suffers from pain in the lower abdomen. If this STD is not treated, women experience complications such as cystitis, colpitis, endometritis, etc.
    • HPV (human papillomavirus). The disease can proceed without symptoms or provoke the formation of papillomas (both on the genitals and on other parts of the body)
    • HIV (human immunodeficiency virus). This disease is the most dangerous in this category. Its first signs appear after a long time (from 3 weeks to 3 months) and only at the stage of manifestation of the pathological process. Patients complain of headaches, loss of appetite, chronic weakness and inflammation of the lymph nodes. Infection can be suspected with angina that does not go away for a long time. In the absence of adequate treatment of this STD, a number of concomitant pathologies arise in men and women: candidiasis, herpes, tuberculosis, etc. AIDS gradually develops

    Diagnostics

    Testing for STDs includes:

    • Blood tests
    • Special tests
    • Swabs and cultures for microflora
    • DNA diagnostics

    You should consult a doctor at the first sign of a sexually transmitted infection. Men should make an appointment with a urologist and women with a gynecologist. Dermatovenereologists also provide assistance to patients with STDs. The doctor will conduct an examination and determine the list of tests that will need to be passed. nine0003

    Important! As a rule, the examination is complex. This is due to the fact that there is no single universal diagnostic method, and the symptoms of many diseases are similar. The most accurate method of research is PCR. This method allows you to identify even hidden diseases, which are characterized by a course without any symptoms.

    Additionally, a consultation with other doctors is often prescribed: an immunologist, a dermatologist, a proctologist, an ophthalmologist, etc. This is due to the fact that STDs affect the joints, skin, circulatory system and organs of vision. nine0003

    An accurate diagnosis can only be made by a doctor!

    Therapy

    Treatment of STDs in women and men always involves an individual approach.

    The following types of therapy are used:

    • Immunostimulating
    • Antiviral
    • Antibacterial
    • Vitamin therapy
    • Physiotherapy

    Patients are prescribed both drugs in the form of tablets and capsules, as well as suppositories, gels, creams and ointments. In some cases, a course of injections and droppers is recommended. nine0003

    Effective treatment of STDs in men and women involves not only the elimination of symptoms and is aimed not only at the genitals, but also at correcting the general condition of the body as a whole.
