Can infrared rays treat gynecological inflammation?

Infrared is a medical method for treating physical diseases. Infrared can treat body bacteria or wound infections by irradiation. Gynecological inflammation is a common gynecological disease in women in real life. Gynecological inflammation can cause great harm to women's health. Infrared can effectively kill bacteria and reduce inflammation. Infrared can be used to treat gynecological inflammation.

Can infrared rays treat gynecological inflammation?

In fact, nursing is a particularly important part of the entire clinical treatment and rehabilitation process, and infrared therapy is an indispensable tool in nursing work. Infrared therapy can act directly on local areas through clothes, which can produce thermal effects on muscles, subcutaneous tissues, etc., and can promote blood circulation, increase metabolism, accelerate cell tissue repair, reduce pain, etc.

According to clinical investigation results, infrared therapy has a good healing effect on chronic ulcers, bedsores, etc. It also has significant therapeutic effects on post-operative wound healing, inflammation, and trauma healing. In addition, in obstetrics and gynecology care, infrared therapy has a good therapeutic effect on a variety of gynecological inflammations.

How effective is infrared therapy in treating gynecological inflammation?

Infrared treatment for gynecological inflammation is widely used in clinical practice. Infrared treatment can relieve itching, kill bacteria, and reduce inflammation. It has significant therapeutic effects on most gynecological inflammations, especially for gynecological inflammation caused by bacterial infection. The effect of infrared treatment is very good.

However, it should be noted that although infrared treatment of gynecological inflammation has a good effect, patients with gynecological inflammation still need to take care of themselves in all aspects in their daily lives, especially in personal hygiene and care, and all aspects of dietary structure adjustment need to be treated with caution. It can be seen from this that no matter how advanced and high-tech the treatment methods are, it is completely impossible to recover quickly from the disease without the necessary daily care. Therefore, patients with gynecological inflammation should not forget the basic care while cooperating with the doctor for treatment.

Medical

When infrared rays hit the body surface, part of them is reflected and the other part is absorbed by the skin. The degree of skin's reflection of infrared rays is related to the condition of pigmentation. When irradiated with infrared rays with a wavelength of 0.9 microns, skin without pigmentation reflects about 60% of its energy, while skin with pigmentation reflects about 40% of its energy. When long-wave infrared rays (wavelength above 1.5 microns) are irradiated, most of them are reflected and absorbed by the shallow skin tissue, and the depth of penetration into the skin is only 0.05 to 2 mm, so they can only act on the surface tissue of the skin; short-wave infrared rays (wavelength within 1.5 microns) and the near-infrared part of red light penetrate the deepest into the tissue, with a penetration depth of up to 10 mm, and can directly act on the skin's blood vessels, lymphatic vessels, nerve endings and other subcutaneous tissues.

In the infrared area, the most beneficial band for the human body is the 4 to 14 micron band, which is collectively referred to as the "fertility ray" in the medical field, because this infrared band promotes the growth of life. This infrared ray has a good effect on activating cell tissue and blood circulation, and can improve human immunity and enhance the body's metabolism.

Infrared erythema

When infrared rays of sufficient intensity are irradiated to the skin, infrared erythema may appear, which disappears soon after the irradiation stops. When high doses of infrared rays are irradiated to the skin multiple times, brown marble-like pigmentation can be produced. This is related to the thermal effect that enhances the pigmentation of melanocytes in the basal cell layer of the blood vessel wall.

effect

The basis of infrared therapy is the thermal effect. Under infrared irradiation, tissue temperature rises, capillaries dilate, blood flow speeds up, metabolism increases, and tissue cell vitality and regeneration ability improve. When infrared rays are used to treat chronic inflammation, they improve blood circulation, increase the phagocytic function of cells, eliminate swelling, and promote the dissipation of inflammation. Infrared rays can reduce the excitability of the nervous system, have the effects of relieving analgesia, relieving skeletal muscle and smooth muscle spasms, and promoting nerve function recovery. When treating chronic infected wounds and chronic ulcers, it improves tissue nutrition, eliminates granulation edema, promotes granulation growth, and accelerates wound healing. Infrared irradiation can reduce exudation from burn wounds. Infrared rays are also often used to treat sprains and contusions, promote tissue expansion and hematoma dissipation, reduce postoperative adhesions, promote scar softening, and reduce scar contracture.
