Hypermobility is a condition of increased mobility and flexibility of joints or other internal organs. This is one of the most common pathologies of the musculoskeletal system, which forces patients to consult a doctor for immediate treatment.
Hypermobility of the urethra in women
When hypermobility of the urethra is often observed urinary incontinence. At the heart of pathogenesis is the disruption of the ligamentous and supporting apparatus of the upper half of the urethra. As a result, there is a displacement of the urethra, at which it moves out of the manometric cavity.
The clinical picture is represented by hydrocele. In this case, in most cases, hydrosealed enough isolated. The degree of severity of this pathology can range from weak to significantly pronounced. The main symptom is incontinence. Especially increases the pathology with tension. In order to assess the degree of severity of the pathology, a parametric characteristic is used. Usually it is in the range of 6 to 7 points. The presence of a pronounced hydrocele directly or indirectly indicates a severe stage of the disease, in which the detrusor motor function is impaired.
At the heart of pathophysiology is a violation of the mechanism of transmission. With this, it should be noted that in most patients, the hypermobility of the sphincter apparatus is within the age limit. In this case, the most effective method of treatment will be surgical intervention. The main purpose of this operation is to fix the upper part of the urethra in the area of the manometric cavity. Theoretically, this can be any of the variants of urethropexy.
Most specialists are inclined to believe that surgery is required if the parametric indicators of the urinary incontinence symptom exceed 6 points. Also an indication for surgery is a combined damage to the occlusal mechanism of the sphincter apparatus and urethra. In such a case, preliminary medication is usually required.
Biochemists have found that disruption of the normal mobility of the urethra is facilitated by a violation of the normal hormonal background in women. Usually the development of this pathology contributes to a decrease in the level of estrogens to the body. It is logical that the pathology is most often found in women during the postmenopausal period. It was also found that in most cases these processes are interrelated. So, the development of hypermobility also entails a violation of the hormonal background ..
Most experts believe that if urine incontinence is 5 points or less, it is advisable to carry out complex medication. You can try to apply physiological methods of influence. Diadynamic methods are the optimal method of treatment. Surgical method is used when other methods are ineffective.
Vaginal cones have proved to be a physiotherapeutic method, which can simultaneously act as a diagnostic factor that allows to diagnose the condition of the vagina and urogenital diaphorgophagus.
It should start with a cone of minimum mass. In this case, the cone must be kept in the vagina, while in the vertical position. Training can be conducted during the day at any convenient time, special training and training is not required. Promotes training and development of pelvic floor muscles. The amount of involuntary fluid from the urethra is sharply reduced. Such training allows to normalize the transmission indicators by about 5-10%. As a complete cure consider the ability of a woman to hold a cone with a mass of 50-60 grams for several hours.
It should also be taken into account that the hypermobility of the urethra is associated with a lack of estrogen hormones, respectively, hormone replacement therapy is recommended, which can also show very good results. Teflon ointment, used in the light and medium stages of pathology, proved to be very effective.
Hypermobility of the testis
In men, the hypermobility of the testicle is often accompanied by postcoid cystitis that occurs after sexual intercourse. The disease is accompanied by pain, discomfort, a sense of pressure, severity, and rezi. At the same time, the pathogenesis of the urethra usually lies in the basis of pathogenesis, a violation of the normal anatomical features of the urethra, the urethra. Also, the pathology increases when the microflora of the urogenital tract hits.
In this case, the clinical picture differs from a typical cystitis with its standard manifestations. The trigger mechanism for the development of inflammation is physical activity, sexual intercourse, overstrain. Especially intense inflammation develops after sexual intercourse, which forces a man to avoid sexual contact.
The main method of treatment for abnormal urethral location is the surgical method. Transposition of the urethra is applied, in which the outer orifice is moved upward by a few centimeters. The operation is simple, performed in a hospital. The patient is released home for several days. The recovery period does not last long.
Hypermobility of the stomach
This condition is usually accompanied by pain in the abdomen, constant heartburn. Quite often, concomitant disease is gastritis. This requires immediate diagnosis and treatment.
The main diagnostic method is gastroscopy. During this procedure, examine the membranes and cavity of the esophagus, stomach.
Also often in the course of the study, scraping is taken from the gastric mucosa. This method makes it possible to detect bacteria of the genus Helicobacter, which are often the cause of hypermobility, because they cause excessive mobility, edema of adjacent tissues. The cause of the development of pathology can be the adhesive process.
Hypermobility of the right colon
With increased mobility of the intestine, motor activity is impaired, which leads to the development of colitis, various inflammatory diseases of the thick and small intestine. In most cases, the pathology is accompanied by constant diarrhea.
At the heart of the pathogenesis is a violation of intestinal motility, in which the muscle contractions, peristalsis, are significantly accelerated. As a result, the food is accelerated along the channel, the excretion of stool is accelerated. Pathogenesis can also develop at the cellular level. In this case, the cells are damaged, the integrity of the cell membrane is disturbed. This leads to the fact that the fluid leaves the intestine outside, is excreted in the form of severe diarrhea. As a result, the muscles reflexively contracting, causing a syndrome of hypermobility and permanent inflammatory processes.
It also develops itching and burning, irritation in the anus. Often there is weakness, fatigue, weaken muscles. There is drowsiness. In some cases, nausea and vomiting may develop. In case of infection, there is a fever, abdominal pain, headache and muscle weakness.
The danger of this condition lies in the fact that the infection quickly joins, the inflammatory-infectious process develops. This is accompanied by an increase in temperature, a decrease in immunity. Also, a frequent complication is dehydration of the body.
The disease must be differentiated with infectious and inflammatory diseases, irritable bowel syndrome, ulcer, tumors, chronic appendicitis. Quite often, this condition develops against a background of gastritis with secretory insufficiency, after resection of the stomach, and other operations for various diseases of the intestine. Almost always hypermobility is one of the symptoms in chronic cholecystitis, and also manifests itself against a background of hepatic and renal failure.
