Is it possible to have a heating pad with cystitis with blood?
Warmer is contraindicated in any inflammatory process, as it increases blood circulation, contributes to the additional development of pro-inflammatory factors that enhance the inflammatory process, accelerate blood circulation. Also in the blood under the influence of mechanical heating, the increased activity of the platelet system can develop, the production of heparin increases. This contributes to the change in the basic functions of the blood, and also significantly dilutes it. As a result, blood circulation increases.
Also, the cause of increased blood circulation is that the vessels increase in tone. As a result, elasticity decreases, blood pressure rises, reserve blood cells leave the blood depot, which ultimately leads to increased blood circulation.
In order to reduce bleeding, traditionally apply a heating pad with a cold, or ice. This is due to the fact that the cold helps to reduce the tone of the vessels, normalizes the state of the vascular wall, as a result of which there is a reduction in blood vessels, and bleeding is reduced. Also, cold introduces the body into a peculiar state of stress, in which hormones are released, in particular, those that stimulate normal blood circulation and maintain normal vascular tone. The process of self-regulation of the organism starts.
Still, it is better not to use a heating pad. So most experts recommend. As any self-treatment can be dangerous, and it is fraught with serious consequences. Neither cold nor heat can have a purposeful effect on the removal of the inflammatory process. Often the effects are only indirect, and therefore the risk of complications is quite high ..
