Gynecological physical therapy and nursing care

With the improvement of living standards, more and more female friends are suffering from gynecological diseases. Gynecological diseases are a very troublesome condition, and if they are not taken seriously and allowed to develop, they will lead to cancer, which is very terrible for a woman. Therefore, I hope all women will pay attention to their bodies, do not be careless, do regular check-ups, and take care of their bodies. Today, the editor brings you gynecological physical therapy methods and nursing means, hoping to provide help and understanding to all female patients with gynecological diseases.

Types of Physical Therapy

The range of physical factors is extremely wide, including sound, light, electricity, magnetism, heat and various mechanical stimuli. The application of a certain physical factor for treatment is called physical factor therapy. Such as natural physical factors such as solar therapy, atmospheric therapy, sea bath therapy, mineral spring therapy, mud therapy, paraffin therapy, etc. Artificial physical factors include electrotherapy, magnetic therapy, phototherapy, etc.

2. Physical therapy effect

In non-surgical gynecological treatments, physical therapy occupies a very important position. It can be used alone or in combination with medication or surgical therapy. Physical therapy has become an indispensable treatment method for certain gynecological diseases.

3 Advantages of physical therapy

Its advantages are that it has a wide range of effects, is non-destructive, painless, and relatively safe, and it has varying degrees of therapeutic effects on many diseases and injuries. Nevertheless, patients undergoing physical therapy should still master certain knowledge and actively cooperate with doctors to improve efficacy, shorten treatment courses and ensure safety.

4 Physical therapy

In gynecological diseases, commonly used physical therapy methods are as follows: [1]

Direct current therapy

The voltage used is 500V. The method of using 100V direct current to treat diseases on the human body is called direct current therapy. Direct current has a significant effect in promoting local blood circulation and can increase local blood flow. Direct current stimulates the receptors on the sensory nerve endings and blood vessel walls, reflexively causing the peripheral blood vessels to dilate, improving blood supply and nutrition to tissues, accelerating the elimination of metabolic products, and enhancing the tissue regeneration process.

Direct current drug ion conduction therapy

Direct current is used to introduce drug ions into the body through the skin or mucous membranes to achieve the purpose of treating diseases. This method is called direct current drug ion introduction therapy. The advantages of direct current drug ion introduction therapy are: the drug is directly introduced into the treatment area and maintained at a high concentration locally, without damaging the skin, causing pain, or irritating the gastrointestinal tract, and it has the dual effects of direct current and drug. However, the polarity of the drug selected for introduction must be clear. For example, when introducing streptomycin to treat tuberculous peritonitis, it must be introduced from the "*" pole.

Induction electrotherapy

The purpose of treating diseases is achieved by using low-color alternating current obtained by induction coils. This method is called induction electrotherapy. The induced electrical energy stimulates the motor nerves and muscles, causing the muscles to contract. For example, induction electrotherapy can achieve better results in postpartum carpal paralysis and urinary retention.

High frequency electrotherapy

The method of treating diseases by using oscillating current with a frequency higher than 1dHy8 lang and the electromagnetic field it forms is called advanced electrotherapy. Including resonance spark therapy, shortwave therapy, medium wave therapy, ultrashort wave therapy, and microwave therapy.

Simple frequency electrotherapy has a good analgesic effect, can dilate blood vessels, enhance blood circulation, improve tissue nutrition, increase metabolism, and accelerate the disappearance of inflammation.

Audio Electrotherapy

Audio frequency electrotherapy has good effects in reducing inflammation, promoting blood circulation, dissolving cancer scars and loosening adhesions.

Ultraviolet light therapy

Ultraviolet rays have the functions of sterilization, anti-inflammation, detoxification, promoting wound healing, promoting the formation of vitamins in the body, and enhancing the body's immunity.

Infrared therapy

Infrared rays can improve local blood circulation, promote body metabolism, and accelerate the absorption of local exudates. It can relieve muscle spasms and has analgesic effect o(7) Paraffin therapy. Paraffin wax has a large heat capacity and low thermal conductivity, so it can evenly heat deep inside human tissue without causing burns. This method can be used in the early stages of inflammation or acute sprains and contusions to reduce tissue edema and promote the absorption of the diagnostic fluid.

In short, there are many types of physical therapy, and the specific one should be selected according to the condition of the disease.

Physiotherapy considerations

Physical therapy is the use of weak external physical factors to induce physiological reactions in the human body, which in turn affect the body's functions, control the causes of disease, and promote recovery from injuries. Therefore, physical therapy must be carried out in a quiet, clean and harmless environment. Only in such an environment can the therapeutic effect of physical therapy be fully exerted.

Physical therapy, like injections and medication, should be taken on time. Regular treatment can not only accumulate the therapeutic effects, but also shorten the treatment course. If treatment is frequently interrupted or not conducted on time, not only will the therapeutic effect not be accumulated, but the existing therapeutic effect will also be reduced or lost.

Patients who are undergoing physical therapy should not add other therapies on their own initiative, so as not to affect the effect of physical therapy. They should also not increase the current without authorization, otherwise it may cause damage to the body. Generally, before physical therapy, the staff will tell the patient what feelings should and should not be felt during treatment, as well as issues that require attention and cooperation, and the patient should strictly follow these instructions.

For a period of time after physical therapy, avoid other adverse factors that may affect the therapeutic effect. Because after the physical therapy is over, the physiological reaction it causes still exists. If there are no external adverse factors, this reaction will continue for a period of time, prolonging its therapeutic effect. Therefore, you should rest outside the treatment room for 20 to 30 minutes after physical therapy, and do not rush back as soon as the treatment is over.

After physical therapy, some patients may experience side effects, such as abnormal skin color, muscle stiffness, or even worsening of original symptoms. These reactions are mostly normal and will generally disappear on their own. But no matter whether the reaction is abnormal or normal, you should report the situation to your doctor truthfully.

The above are the gynecological physical therapy methods and nursing measures. I believe that female patients with gynecological diseases are all aware of them! Remember what the editor said, you must pay attention to your body, don’t be careless, and make sure to detect and treat it early. Finally, I wish all women can have a good body.
