Symptoms of pelvic circulatory disorders in women. Stagnation of blood in the pelvis in women: symptoms and treatment. Why does venous stagnation occur?

Stagnation of blood in the pelvis most often occurs in people who do not spend enough time on the move, and in people of “sedentary” professions. This disease is quite serious and should not be taken lightly. Stagnation of blood can lead to very disastrous consequences, for example, kidney disease, genitourinary system and rectum.

Causes and symptoms of pelvic blood stagnation

Some of the most common causes of the disease are:

• Pregnancy;
• Childbirth;
• Bend of the uterus;
• Regular carrying of weights;
• Sedentary lifestyle;
• Weak walls of blood vessels;
• Taking contraceptives.

When, due to additional loads, the vascular valves cannot cope with the blood flow, they produce it only in one direction - from bottom to top in inferior vein. Subsequently, dilation of the veins occurs, which leads to unpleasant heaviness and constant pain lower abdomen.

Stagnation of blood in the pelvis has very noticeable symptoms. It may be stabbing, sharp pains in the lower abdomen, which either suddenly appear or disappear without a trace. The pain can be severe or not very strong, and it can also appear only during sex or after playing sports.

Stagnation of blood in the pelvis has symptoms only painful in nature. This pain is aching, which can shoot in the lower back, perineum or leg.

Treatment and consequences of the disease

The most serious consequences after blood stagnation are: infertility and severe psychical deviations. Women, as a rule, have more complications after this type of illness than men. Many people run the risk of giving birth to premature babies or not being able to carry their child to term at all. Naturally dire consequences can be avoided if the treatment of blood stagnation in the pelvis is not delayed, but started immediately.

People who are, so to speak, at risk of illness, need to perform preventive exercises. They are quite easy, but they will only bring results if done daily.

Treatment of stagnation of blood in the pelvis takes place in several stages. If the disease was detected on early stage, then you can get by medicines, aimed at thinning the blood and strengthening the walls of blood vessels. But you also need to be extremely careful with medications; you must take medications strictly under the supervision of a doctor!

For illness for more advanced stage It is recommended to resort to mini surgery. This procedure is performed using laparoscopy. During the operation, several punctures are made in the pelvic area, and a microcamera is inserted there, helping doctors see everything in full view. Next, the doctor can only find the dilated vessels and bring them into previous state, that is, bandage. Operation without serious consequences, does not take much time, and most importantly, it is very effective!

Pelvic venous congestion syndrome (hereinafter referred to as PVC, in Russian literature known as pelvic venous congestion syndrome) is also known as ovarian vein reflux. This syndrome causes constant pain in the pelvic region (lower abdomen) in approximately 13-40% of women.

Chronic pelvic pain is an unhealthy sensation in the lower abdomen that lasts for 6 months or more. STVZ, and as a consequence painful condition, is often caused by dilation of the ovarian vein and/or veins in the pelvis (pelvic varicose veins).

Varicose veins often occur when the veins become less flexible and the valves that prevent blood from flowing back from the heart stop working.

This increases the flow of blood and its accumulation in the veins; gravity causes the veins to enlarge, causing them to become bulging and knotty. This also happens in the pelvic veins, which leads to congestion, that is, to pelvic venous stagnation syndrome.

This situation leads to pain symptom syndrome, and can also cause visible varicose veins around the genitals, vagina, inner thighs, sometimes gluteal region and goes down the leg(s).

In order to understand which veins are dilated and why varicose veins form around the genitals/vagina and go down inside hips, you need to understand the anatomy. The diagram below (Diagram 1) shows the normal location of veins in the body (normal anatomy).

Diagram 1: Normal arrangement of veins: Blood is pumped from the legs, through the veins in the pelvis and abdominal cavity to the heart. Blood usually flows from the ovaries through the ovarian veins. The right ovarian vein joins the inferior vena cava, and the left ovarian vein joins the left renal vein.

When the valves in a vein stop working or there is an obstruction to the flow of blood in the veins returning to the heart muscle, the blood flows in a reverse direction (that is, in the wrong direction, away from the heart muscle). This creates varicose veins in the pelvis - around the ovaries, genitals/vagina and down the inner thighs and legs, causing pelvic venous stasis syndrome (PVS).

Look at Diagrams 2 and 3, which demonstrate what happens when the veins are dilated.

Diagram 2: Demonstrates what an enlarged vein looks like, which causes varicose veins around the ovary because the valves do not work. The blood flows in the wrong direction, the blood concentrates in the veins and causes them to enlarge.

Causes of blood stagnation

The causes of dilatation of the ovarian vein and/or vein in the pelvis in pelvic venous stasis syndrome (PVS) are almost unknown. STD is most common in young women, and, as a rule, in women who have given birth to 2-3 children.

During pregnancy, the ovarian veins may be compressed by the enlarging uterus or dilated due to increased blood flow to the uterus. This is thought to affect the valves in the vein, causing them to stop working, which in turn allows blood to flow backwards, contributing to the syndrome (STD).

There are other causes that can cause blockage of the ovarian vein and pelvic veins leading to the syndrome, which are much less common and also result from vein obstruction. STD may also be associated with polycystic ovarian disease.

The absence of valves in the vein as a result of abnormal development may also be a factor in the development of SVT.

Symptoms, manifestations and signs of the disease

All symptoms of SVT are associated with dilatation of the pelvic veins, due to the fact that blood flows in the wrong direction (that is, in the opposite direction).

Varicose veins in the pelvis surround the ovary, and can also encourage the appearance of varicose veins in the veins of the bladder and rectum. This may lead to the following symptoms:

• Pelvic pain or unbearable tenderness around the pelvis and lower abdomen
• Unpleasant sensations and nagging and nagging pain in the pelvic area
• Feeling of swelling in the legs
• Exacerbation of stress urinary incontinence
• Worsening of symptoms associated with irritable bowel syndrome

Pain is usually a common symptom and has been present for 6 months or more. The pain usually occurs on one side, but can occur on both sides.

The pain worsens when standing, lifting, during fatigue or pregnancy, and after sexual intercourse. The menstrual cycle/hormones also damage the veins and hence the pain may increase during menstruation. The pain usually goes away when lying down.

However, not every woman with pelvic vein reflux experiences the above symptoms; for many, they only appear after pregnancy. This happens because after pregnancy, the veins are still dilated due to compression by the uterus. This gives rise to varicose veins of the genitals/vagina (Diagram 3). Varicose veins may improve after pregnancy, but the condition of the veins worsens over time.

Diagram 3: Demonstrates the spread of varicose veins that run down the medial aspect of the inner thigh. This often happens after pregnancy or if the disease is not treated.

How is this disease diagnosed?

First method: pelvic venous congestion syndrome (PVS) can be diagnosed by typical symptoms, especially if varicose veins are obvious and visible to the naked eye. Many women have a history of varicose veins around the vulva during pregnancy.

On examination, these veins can be seen around the vulva, and they may extend down the inner thigh. On the inner side of the thigh there is a muscle tendon along which dilated veins are felt to the touch and visible to the naked eye. If the veins lie behind this tendon or behind the leg muscle, then most likely their dilation is caused by reflux of the ovarian vein and/or pelvic veins.

Ultrasound examination (ultrasound) is useful in in this case. This survey uses sound waves to detect abnormal veins. Well visualizes the flow of blood through the veins and is not invasive method research.

However, sometimes the veins in the pelvis are difficult to see through the abdomen. Therefore it may be necessary special type Ultrasound, when a small probe is inserted into the vagina to see the veins, the so-called transvaginal ultrasound.

Diagnosis may require further investigation using non-invasive imaging assisted by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography(CT).

These methods allow us to see where varicose veins are located (where they start and where they end) so that doctors can plan and prescribe adequate treatment. Most often, the ovarian veins are the cause of varicose veins, but it happens that other pelvic veins are also involved.

Pelvic venography

Although ultrasound, CT and MRI are used primarily, pelvic venography is used along with these methods for diagnosing SVT. Method evaluates anatomical features and its results are taken into account when prescribing treatment.

Venography can be done at the same time as ovarian vein/pelvic vein treatment (embolization) or as a separate procedure if the choice of treatment option needs further discussion.

This is a more invasive examination, but simple and safe diagnostic procedure. Venography is performed by injecting dye (contrast) through a small tube (catheter) into the femoral vein (in the groin) or into the internal jugular vein(on the neck) under local anesthesia.

The contrast (dye) can be seen with an X-ray machine (fluoroscope). The catheter is placed in the ovarian vein and pelvic vein and contrast is injected; images are visible on the fluoroscope, which give an anatomical picture. This allows the doctor to see abnormal veins.

Once the images are captured, the tube is removed. The area over the small incision in the groin or neck is then pressed to prevent bleeding. A little later, after 1 - 4 hours you can go home.

What are the treatment options?

First of all, if you feel that you do not need this procedure, there are several medications (medroxyprogesterone acetate or the newer goserelin) that show effectiveness in approximately 75% of women, reducing pain and the size of varicose veins.

Treatment is often prescribed in the form of subcutaneous transcatheter vein embolization in the pelvis. This is a minimally invasive surgery that is harmless and can be done in one day. You come to the hospital for the procedure in the morning and can leave almost immediately, that is, on the same day.

In most cases, it is the ovarian vein that causes varicose veins. However, other pelvic veins such as: internal iliac vein, internal pudendal vein, obturator vein and sciatic vein can also help cause varicose veins and therefore also need treatment.

Other treatment options, such as opening or laparoscopic surgery, are used to ligate the culprit diseased vein. Both of these procedures are more aggressive than ovarian vein embolization because they require general anesthesia and more a long period rehabilitation.

How to prepare for embolization?

1. If you are taking warfarin, you may need to stop or stop taking the drug for a while. Your doctor will advise what is best for you and go over the details before the procedure.
2. Make sure that none of the medications listed for surgery (including herbal medicines) does not cause you any allergies. Special attention Look for iodine (X-ray dye is known to contain iodine).
3. It is important to inform your doctor about any recent illness medical condition or the likelihood that you are pregnant. Pelvic venography (phlebography) and vein embolization are procedures using x-ray radiation. If you are pregnant, the fetus will be exposed to radiation.
4. You should wear comfortable clothes. You will be provided with a gown to use during the procedure.

How is this procedure carried out?

Pelvic vein embolization is a minimally invasive procedure. Performed consciously by a trained and trained interventional radiologist on the surgical radiology unit, usually in the radiology (radiology) department.

You will be placed on an X-ray table with an X-ray machine and a TV-like monitor suspended above the table, above you. An X-ray tube known as a fluoroscope allows X-ray images to be converted into video images so that an interventional radiologist can view and guide the procedure.

During surgical intervention(procedures) you will lie on your back with a cannula in your vein (a small, hollow needle will be placed either in the back of your arm or in your elbow), allowing doctors to give you any medications or fluids intravenously if needed. You will also be connected to equipment to monitor your heart rate and blood pressure.

During this procedure, the interventional radiologist inserts a hollow needle (catheter, a long, thin plastic tube, usually about 2 mm in diameter) into the vein. Veins in the groin or neck are usually used. This is done by making a small cut in the skin.

Before the incision is made, local anesthesia to numb the skin, very similar to anesthesia used in dentistry. You will feel a small contact prick at the injection site local anesthetic. You may feel some minor discomfort and slight pressure from the catheter at the insertion site.

X-ray imaging is used to guide the procedure contrast agent, to visualize the blood vessels and monitor how and where the catheter is advanced. The catheter is then directed into the ovarian vein and/or pelvic vein to see if there are any abnormalities there.

Diagram 4. As the contrast is injected into a vein and travels through your body, you may experience a warm, rushing sensation. This is fine.

Diagram 4:(A) The catheter is visible in the left ovarian vein. The flow of contrast (X-ray dye) into the left ovarian vein is visible. (B) This is a successful embolization (permanent block) with the coil.

If an abnormality is visualized, the same catheter can be used for treatment (Diagram 4). This is when the veins are isolated and blocked using a synthetic material or medications called embolicates. They are inserted through a catheter into the treatment site.

For successful embolization without damaging normal tissue, any catheter must be inserted into a precise location. This allows thromboembolic materials to be delivered only to abnormal vessels. However, in a small number of cases, the procedure is technically impossible and the catheter cannot be inserted properly.

If this occurs, a different approach may be required. For example, if a skin incision is made in the groin, another incision in the skin of the neck may be needed to approach the vein from a different position.

There are several embolic agents that the interventional radiologist can use, depending on the size of the blood reservoir or the duration of the treatment itself. Many of these embolisates have been used for 20 years and are safe and effective.

A list of embolic agents that a radiologist may use are listed below:

• Spirals - They are made of a variety of metals, it can be either stainless steel or platinum. They also vary in size and can cause occlusion of large vessels.
• Liquid sclerosing agents. They close the veins, causing them to clot.
• Liquid glue - Similar in action to liquid sclerosing agents, injected into the vein, where it hardens and blocks it.

At the end of the procedure, the catheter is removed and a tampon is pressed over the incision area with slight pressure to stop bleeding. The skin at the incision site does not require stitches.

The duration of the procedure is modified depending on the complexity of the condition. As a rule, it can last from 30 minutes to an hour and a half. In a small number of patients, the procedure may be repeated to block all diseased veins.

This occurs when other pelvic veins near the ovarian vein become varicose (Diagram 5). However, this is now quite rare and most patients undergo only one embolization procedure.

What are the pros and cons of a procedure called pelvic vein embolization?

Pros or advantages

• Pelvic/ovarian vein embolization is indicated as safe procedure to relieve pain symptoms and correct appearance varicose veins.
• Enough effective method vascular obstruction.
• Does not require large surgical incisions, only a small cut in the skin is needed and does not require stitches.
• Embolization is much less invasive than conventional open surgery. Resulting in fewer complications and the hospital stay is relatively short, typically the procedure is completed in one day. Blood loss is less than with traditional surgical treatment, and there is no noticeable surgical incision.
• Most women (up to 85%) find that they experience noticeable improvements within two weeks of the procedure.

Cons or disadvantages

• There is a slight risk of allergy to contrast injection.
• There is a very small risk of infection
• Any procedure that involves inserting a catheter into a blood reservoir carries inherent risks. They contain damage to the blood vessel (so-called thrombophlebitis of the ovarian vein), hematomas or bleeding at the puncture site.
• There is a small chance that the embolic agent may end up in or migrate into wrong place and deprive normal tissues of blood circulation, that is, oxygen supply (this is called non-target embolization and occurs very infrequently)
• Relapse. Recurrence of varicose veins can occur in 10% of cases.
• Radiation exposure of the ovaries. To date, there is no evidence of decline or damage reproductive function after the procedure.

Consequences of the procedure

Doctors will monitor the activity of the heart muscle (heart rate), heartbeat and blood pressure readings.

Some patients experience mild pain or discomfort after surgery (procedure), which can be relieved with oral medications or medications given intravenously through a cannula.

After the procedure, it is prescribed bed rest for a short period of time and most people leave the hospital within 4 hours of surgical procedure. But if you feel severe pain You may have to stay in the hospital longer.

After discharge, you will be able to resume your normal activities within a few days. Do not drive for 1 week, or longer if groin discomfort persists (which is very rare).

This allows you to check whether the procedure was successful and also allows you to discuss any changes or side effects problems you encountered after treatment. Visible varicose veins may require local treatment, similar to varicose veins of other veins, such as varicose veins of the legs.

Having stopped blood reflux (for reverse side), we ensure that pelvic varicose veins gradually decrease over the course of several weeks. Varicose veins of the external genitalia will gradually disappear as a result of the procedure.

Now that the main ovarian veins and pelvic veins have been embolized and you also have varicose veins in your legs, they can be operated on. Their chance of recurrence in the future will be very low (there was a high chance of recurrence if you didn't do pelvic vein embolization). Any symptoms that were present with varicose veins in the pelvis will gradually subside.

The function of blood circulation is to deliver nutrients and oxygen needed by organs for normal functioning. If such nutrition is disrupted, the first thing that happens is a deterioration in the functionality of the organ. In organs where blood renewal is difficult long time, a stagnant process develops, creating good conditions for the development of pathogenic microorganisms.

Firstly, blood stagnation is one of the reasons for such urological diseases like, prostate adenoma, etc. Knowing how sometimes difficult it is to treat these diseases, it is easier to prevent the disease than to treat it.

Secondly, in the lower pelvic area there are testicles - factories for the production of sex hormones and sperm. The intensity of their work depends on the quality of blood circulation in this area. Poor blood circulation slows down the functioning of the testicles, leading to a decrease in spermatogenesis and, even worse, a decrease in the production of sex hormones. A lot has been said about the importance of the main male hormone testosterone in shaping a man’s health, which you can read about.

Thirdly, blood circulation is necessary not only to provide nutrition to the organs, but in case of male body, good blood circulation allows you to effectively deliver sex hormones to target organs, where they have biological effect on the body.

Who is susceptible to blood stagnation in the pelvis?

First of all, this applies to men who lead predominantly. Sedentary work is the most dangerous enemy for men's health. This is confirmed by research by scientists who have found that men whose profession involves constant sitting have a smaller sexual constitution than men with active physical work.

Why is sedentary work so dangerous? In a sitting position, body weight puts pressure on the prostate and blood vessels pelvis, depriving them of proper blood circulation. The situation is aggravated by an increase in the temperature of the scrotum with testicles, which should be approximately 3 °C less temperature body (see), for this it is taken outside.

The habit of sitting cross-legged reduces blood circulation and leads to rapid overheating of the testicles. Tight underwear only aggravates this situation.

In addition to poor circulation, a sedentary lifestyle is often accompanied by excess weight, physical inactivity, pain and diseases of the spine, not balanced diet and other negative factors.

Methods of complex therapy for blood stagnation

Fortunately, for many men who find themselves hostages sedentary image life, there are a number of solutions that can restore blood circulation in the pelvic organs, and with due diligence also improve normal indicators, which will have a positive effect on hormonal system and sexual function.

Saddle chair to protect men's health

This option is suitable for those men whose blood stagnation is caused by a sedentary profession. To be honest, this option is not suitable for everyone, since there are a number of inconveniences associated with purchasing a “saddle”. But first, about the benefits.

What is a saddle chair? As the name implies, the shape of this chair resembles a saddle. Why play cowboy at work? The fact is that this form allows you to relieve the static tension exerted by the body weight on the pelvic muscles, which occurs when sitting on ordinary chairs.

Rice. 1 - Correct position spine when sitting on an ergonomic chair.

The range of ergonomic “saddles” includes both solid chairs and seats divided into two halves. For men, it is necessary to choose models with a split seat, since this option creates a favorable microclimate for the groin area.

Initially, the creators of the saddle chair pursued other goals: the prevention of pain and diseases of the spine. And indeed, sitting on such a chair slouching will not work. For a comfortable fit, you need to keep your back straight all the time, which helps train your back muscles and form correct posture(see Figure 1). The advantage of this saddle chair is its complex impact on the consequences of a sedentary lifestyle.

But this option is not suitable for everyone, since there are several disadvantages of the “office saddle”:

• the price of ergonomic chairs is very high;
• together with the saddle chair, you will have to purchase a special table, since the high seating position on an ergonomic chair does not make it possible to use a regular table (see Figure 2);
• If you decide to purchase such a set for your office, get ready to become the object of attention and questioning from your colleagues, since your ergonomic place will stand out from the background of “classic” workstations.

Exercises for blood stagnation in the pelvis

Nature did not plan for a person to spend a significant part of his life in a sitting position. Therefore, constant movement is considered as an integral process of human life. But in the current realities, it is necessary to resort to other measures that will “stir up” your pelvic bones.

Exercises performed while sitting

Perhaps the most effective exercise is to train the muscles in close proximity to the genitals. The advantage of this exercise is that there is no need to get up, i.e. it can be performed anywhere and in any position. The exercise is aimed at strengthening the so-called pubococcygeus muscle. In addition to improving blood circulation, this exercise improves the strength of orgasm and erection power.

Exercises performed while standing

Starting position for these exercises (unless otherwise indicated): feet shoulder-width apart, hands on the belt.

Exercise 1 “Rotation of the pelvis.” A simple and familiar exercise that consists of circular rotation of the pelvis clockwise and counterclockwise (see Figure 3). We perform at least 20 deep rotations in each direction.

Rice. 3 — Performing the “Pelvis Rotation” exercise.

Exercise 2 “Eight Eights”. The essence of the exercise is to describe a figure of eight with your pelvis parallel to the floor, moving your pelvis back and forth. Perform 8 movements in each direction.

Exercise 3 “Eight infinities”. The essence of the exercise is to rotate the pelvis in such a way as to describe the infinity sign parallel to the floor, i.e. the loops of the figure eight are on the sides. Perform 8 movements in each direction.

Exercise 4 “Parade step”. Walk in place, raising your knees as high as possible, trying to press them to your chest. We perform from 20 steps.

Exercise 5 “Lateral bends”. We alternately tilt the body to the sides. When bending, you can raise your arm above your head in the direction of the tilt. For example, when performing a tilt left side, remove right hand from the waist, extending it in the direction of the inclination. We perform 10-20 bends in both directions.

Exercise 6 “Squats”. I.P.: feet wider than shoulder width, hands behind the head. Perform a squat, going as low as possible and at the same time, as if moving your pelvis back a little, without lifting your heels from the floor. It is better that the load falls on gluteal muscles. We perform 20 squats.

Exercise 7 “Jumping squats.” I.P.: feet shoulder-width apart, arms along the body. Squat down, placing your hands on the floor, sharply move your legs back, taking a position as if you were going to do push-ups. Same sudden movement we return to the squat and sharply jump up. After landing, repeat the exercise. Since exercise actively stresses the cardiovascular system, people with cardiovascular diseases need to be careful. If there are no contraindications, we perform 3-5 approaches 10 times.

Exercises performed while lying down

Exercise 8 “Lifting the pelvis.” IP: lying on your back, legs bent at the knees, arms along the body. Raise your pelvis without lifting your feet off the floor (see Figure 4). The complexity of the exercise can be increased if you use weights, for example, a barbell plate, placing it on your lower abdomen and holding it with your hands. We do it 15-20 times.

Rice. 4 — Performing the “Pelvic Lift” exercise.

Exercise 9 “Air bike”. IP: lying on your back, legs bent at the knees, arms along the body. We simulate riding a bicycle as if you were pedaling (see Figure 5). We perform the exercise for 1 minute.

Rice. 5 – Perform the “Air bike” exercise.

Exercise 10 “Scissors”. IP: lying on your back, arms along your body. This exercise simulates the work of scissors. Raise your straight legs to a height of about 30-40 cm, and alternately cross them so that one leg is higher than the other. Perform 20 movements.

Exercise 11 “Birch tree”. IP: lying on your back, arms along your body. Raise your pelvis, lifting it off the floor, while your hands rest on the lower thighs, acting as a support for the raised part of the body. It is necessary to ensure that only the head, neck and top part back, and the rest of the body was raised and straightened. You need to stay in this position for 1.5-2 minutes. The exercise should be performed carefully, gradually mastering it with practice.

When to exercise and how often?

Exercises are best performed 1-2 times a day in the morning and evening for preventive and light therapeutic purposes. To treat circulatory disorders in the pelvis, it is necessary to regularly perform exercises at least 2-3 times a day (at least in the morning and evening).

Nutrition to improve blood circulation

When we talk about the connection between nutrition and blood circulation in the pelvic organs, we mean, first of all, close connection between intestinal function and blood circulation in this area. If a man has problems with bowel movements, this leads to stagnant processes, as a result of which opportunistic bacteria successfully multiply and provoke diseases. On the other side, frequent bowel movements intestines, promotes normal blood flow in this area.

To improve blood circulation, you must adhere to generally accepted rules healthy eating. Natural and healthy foods should prevail in your diet.

We consume more:

• fruits and vegetables;
• cereals;
• greenery;
• seafood;
• water (at least 1.5-2 liters per day).

The benefit of these products lies, first of all, in their rich nutritional composition, including vitamins and minerals necessary for life, as well as high fiber content, improving intestinal motility. Water is another assistant in the fight for health. When present in sufficient quantities, it flushes it out of the body and helps thin the blood.

We strongly limit:

• fast food;
• fatty foods rich in cholesterol;
• smoked and fried foods;
• bakery products, pastries, and products based on white flour;
• sweets;
• salt;
• drinks containing caffeine (tea, coffee, carbonated and sweet water).

Negative impact on work of cardio-vascular system provide products with high content cholesterol, causing the deposition cholesterol plaques on the walls of blood vessels, making them less permeable to blood flow. In general, the junk foods on this list are low in nutrients, high in calories, and fattening.

• garlic;
• onions (onions, green);
• parsley;
• spicy seasonings (red Bell pepper, curry, turmeric);
• seafood (especially fatty fish(mackerel, salmon, salmon));
• products with high content vitamin C (orange, pepper, broccoli, cauliflower).

Besides common benefit, these products provide pronounced effect on blood circulation. For example, seafood contains irreplaceable fatty acid omega-3, which have a blood thinning effect and are largely beneficial for the cardiovascular system. For people who do not have the opportunity to consume seafood, it can be advised to use.

Drug treatment

Table 1 - Drugs for blood stagnation in the pelvis.

Attention! Purpose medicines and their dosage is carried out only by a doctor, based on the diagnosis. Do not use information obtained from various sources, for self-medication.

Preventive measures against blood stagnation

Increasing physical activity

To prevent blood stagnation in the pelvis, you should take daily walks. If the daily routine does not provide for the need for long-term movement, it is necessary to create it intentionally. For example, using public transport, go out one or two stops from home and walk, get a dog that you need to walk with, and the like. From active species physical culture Swimming, jogging or fast jogging, yoga, and jumping rope are best suited.

If the work involves being in a sitting position, it is necessary to periodically, during the day, perform special exercises(read on the website about training the pubococcygeus muscle).

Increasing the number of sexual contacts

Sex is the most pleasant prevention of blood stagnation. Movements made by a man during sexual intercourse in a natural way improve blood microcirculation in the pelvis. In addition to this fact, sexual contact has a number of other useful properties for men.

You need to have sex at least 2-3 times a week, and preferably more often. But you should not consider sex as an activity that improves blood flow, since the desire for intercourse should come from within, and not under compulsion.

Promiscuous sexual intercourse without the use of contraception can negatively affect men's health. This is due to the introduction of foreign microflora into the male genitals, which provokes the development of pathogenic bacteria.

Limiting bad habits

The same goes for alcohol. If there is no possibility or desire to get rid of alcohol completely, then it is worth severely limiting the consumption of alcoholic beverages, at least for the duration of therapy.

How do you think, Is it nice to have such a disease as varicose veins, hemorrhoids, osteochondrosis, arthrosis? Or maybe you have already met them? Especially those who have met will understand well that it would be better to warn them. We all understand that diseases can be prevented or treated effectively only by influencing the cause. It's no longer a secret that the reason huge amount diseases is a stop of blood microcirculation in one or another segment of the body. What causes microcirculation to stop? There is more than one reason here either. But one of them always is and will be a physical muscle tightening or spasm. In this case, harm is caused to the body both as a result of short-term sudden and sharp contractions of muscles, such as during fear or pain, and as a result of periodic or constant compression of muscles and constriction of blood flow, such as when sitting for a long time or when sitting cross-legged. The deeper the muscles spasm, the deeper the cause of the disease lies, the less noticeable it is and the more difficult it is to treat early diagnosis, understand that there is a circulatory disorder. How to help yourself and prevent harmful blood stagnation and remove blocks in the body? We will not be able to completely remove the causes of spasms. But, if we regularly carry out preventive preventative activation of blood circulation in deep muscles, then we will not allow stagnation to take hold. To start blood circulation in the pelvis we do something simple, but most effective exercise from Wave gymnastics complex "Circles and Figures".

The essence of the exercise is that we rotate the pelvis in different planes. Our goal is to remove any hint of stagnation and start blood microcirculation. The beauty of this exercise is that it is very simple and can be used as for prevention and warnings stagnation in the pelvis and for significant assistance in treatment all diseases associated with this and even joint immobility. We adjust the amplitude ourselves. Even if you understand that amplitude is generally impossible, do the exercise with micro-amplitude or even through an image: imagining how you do it with good amplitude.

Our task is to achieve (or maintain constantly, if you are currently in good shape) uniform amplitude in all planes.

No matter how simple this exercise did not seem to be, many will notice that in some planes the exercise works well, but in others it does not work at all. Therefore, do not give up trying to achieve complete perfection. And you will see how new joyful sensations will visit you again and again. Exercise perfectly releases sexual energy.

Do circles and figure eights possible in any position: standing, sitting, lying on your stomach or lying on your back. You can start getting used to the complex from a standing position or from a lying position on your stomach:

1. First, spin 8 circles parallel to the floor clockwise and 8 circles counterclockwise. Then the same thing - parallel to the wall in front, then the same thing - parallel to the walls on the right and left (image - a steam locomotive is moving forward and going back).
2. Second, we twist 8 eights stretched out in loops to the sides (like an infinity sign) parallel to the floor in one direction and 8 eights in the other direction. Then the same thing - parallel to the wall in front, then the same thing - parallel to the walls on the right and left.
3. Third, we twist 8 eights stretched out in loops back and forth (as we draw the number 8) parallel to the floor in one direction and 8 eights in the other direction. Then the same thing - parallel to the wall in front (the loops are stretched up and down), then the same thing - parallel to the walls on the right and left.
4. Fourth, You yourself can come up with additional planes for torsion of figure eights (diagonally, for example), and also make this complex for other articular joints (elbows, knees, neck).

The energy of movement gives amazing results: Blocks are released, blood circulation is restored, the body begins to self-regulate and, if you are unwell, then a sustainable recovery occurs. And the point here is not only in dynamics, but also in the action of vortex energy flows that we launch in the body.

Those who don’t believe, let them check!

The pelvic cavity is a space that is limited pelvic bones. The pelvic organs are considered bladder, rectum and reproductive (genital) organs.

Physiological feature of the pelvic organs lies in their close and inextricable relationship: the common blood supply and the presence of important nerve nodes in the immediate vicinity only strengthen this relationship.

Disruption of the functioning of one of the pelvic organs almost inevitably leads to pathologies of others, neighboring organs. Therefore, pelvic problems are considered the most serious and severe.

One of the common causes of pelvic organ diseases is impaired blood circulation. And since blood is the main source of delivery of oxygen, nutrients and minerals to muscle tissue and organs, and also removes metabolic products from the organs, the slightest disruption in blood supply will be critical.

Basically, stagnation of blood in the pelvic organs accompanies people who lead a stationary, mostly sedentary lifestyle. The overwhelming majority are freelancers whose work involves computers and the Internet.

Symptoms of blood stagnation

It is worth dividing the symptoms of blood stagnation in the pelvic organs into two classes. In one case this painful sensations a person, on the other hand, is a disease of one of the organs located within the pelvis.

Since blood stagnation manifests itself gradually, in an increasing manner, then painful sensations make themselves felt also smoothly. At first, a person feels tingling or slight pressure, slight numbness in the limbs, or even just discomfort in the lower abdomen, lower back or side. Light physical activities help cope with these sensations. Over time, the pain intensifies, gradually becoming unbearable, interfering with a normal life.

Stagnation of blood in the pelvic organs leads to serious illnesses genitourinary system, rectum and kidneys. Most often these are serious illnesses. Treatment involves long-term therapy, which does not always bring good results: if the cause of blood stagnation is not eliminated, the disease will flare up again after a while, but with a vengeance. Among other things, prescribed for treatment inflammatory processes antibiotics may not work next time, more will be needed powerful drugs, which have a serious and, alas, unfavorable effect on the liver.

Causes of blood stagnation in the pelvic organs

A sedentary lifestyle, so common among those employed in the Internet industry, is the first and main reason stagnation of blood in the pelvic organs. In a sitting position, the central blood vessels and arteries become compressed by muscles and cartilage. Blood, like any other liquid, always rushes along the path of least resistance, that is, bypassing the pelvic organs.

Poor nutrition- another one serious reason formation of blood stagnation. Foods that are too fatty contain a large number of cholesterol, which, without having time to be processed by the body, accumulates in the vessels in the form of plaques. The vessels narrow, ultimately allowing insufficient blood to pass through.

The third important reason for blood stagnation in the pelvic organs is a lack of motor activity. Alas, and this is typical for Internet users – there is simply no time to move. And I don’t really want to.

Disease prevention methods

Treatment of blood stagnation in the pelvic organs is not applied due to the lack of medical indications. Actually, blood stagnation in itself is not a disease, but only a cause that leads to diseases, many of which are dangerous not only to health, but also to life.

Prevention of blood stagnation in the pelvic organs – healthy image life, proper balanced diet without excesses, quitting smoking or significantly reducing the number of cigarettes per day.

None medications, alas, are not able to cope with blood stagnation: the situation can only be corrected by the person suffering from this disease.

Mistakes made by people suffering from blood stagnation in the pelvic organs:

• Attempts to drown out pain with analgesics are a time bomb: it is obvious that very soon you will have to resort to more a strong drug, since banal analgin will no longer help cope with increasing pain;
• Going to the pool a couple of times a week or light jogging on Sundays is more of a distraction than a method of combating blood stagnation. To effectively counter this phenomenon, more effort will be required;
• Changing a sitting position to a lying or semi-lying position is not a solution, it will only get worse: this will not correct blood stagnation. If the processes associated with blood stagnation have already begun, more effort will be required.
• Treatment of specific diseases of one or more pelvic organs is a half-measure: it is necessary to eliminate the stagnation of blood that leads to these diseases, to eliminate the cause itself.
