Treatment of dolichosigma: surgery, nutrition and diet, alternative means, massage

Dolihosigma is a serious pathology of the intestine, in which there is a violation of its motor activity and contractile activity. As a result, constipation develops. The intestines are not emptied, stool masses accumulate in it. This is facilitated by the abnormal length of the sigmoid colon. With prolonged constipation, it can also expand. Constipation is dangerous for its complications: it can develop intoxication of the body by the calves, their hardening, inflammation. The most dangerous complication is atony of the intestine, and its fibrosis. Sometimes the pathology can proceed against the background of other diseases.

If using a diet to restore normal defecation is impossible, prescribed medication. Apply laxatives, cleansing and laxative enemas. You can use homeopathic remedies, alternative recipes. If necessary, physiotherapeutic procedures can additionally be prescribed. Symptomatic therapy is performed: with severe pain, pain medications are prescribed, spasmodics are used for spasms.

With the inefficiency of conservative medicine and the development of complications, pain, radical methods are used - surgical intervention.

Medications

If the diet does not have a positive effect on the state of the intestine, you need to take medications. Admission is allowed only after a preliminary consultation with the doctor, because you can cause various complications and only aggravate the situation. Excess dosage can lead to side effects: irritation of the intestine, increased contractile activity.

With prolonged constipation, more than 3-4 days, apply dyufalak. Recommended 1-2 tablespoons of the drug at a time. In a day you can take 3-4 times.

To eliminate constipation, also apply mukofalk - 1 package is dissolved in a glass of water, drink before eating. The maximum daily dose is 4 sachets.

Duspatalin is taken 1 tablet twice a day, 20 minutes before meals. The drug is released in capsules that need to be swallowed without chewing. It should be washed down with plenty of water.

Normalization of the intestine promotes festal. It is taken 1 tablet 3-4 times a day. Increases the tone of smooth muscles, contractile muscle activity.

Laxatives for dolichosigma

First you need to normalize the food, include in the diet as much as possible products that have a laxative effect. You need to add as much vegetables, fruits, juices. You need to drink at least 1.5-2 liters of clean water a day. If such a diet does not relieve the condition, then only laxatives can be taken. Well-proven drugs such as mukofalk, dyufak, duspatalin, festal, extract of buckthorn. Preparations should be started with a minimum dosage. Only in the absence of effect, the dose can be increased. Otherwise, habituation can develop very quickly, and the drugs will cease to have a therapeutic effect. Also, with prolonged and uncontrolled administration of laxatives, complications can develop: disappearance of the reflex to defecation, stool incontinence, irritation of the intestine.

It is recommended to take folk, herbal and homeopathic remedies. They are highly effective, not addictive, have fewer side effects. Long since used as laxatives, various oils were used: linseed oil, sunflower oil, olive oil and others. In the absence of a positive effect, an enema is put.

Forlaks with dolichosigme

As a laxative, you can take forlaks. It has proved itself well, since it has no side effects, gently acts on the stomach and intestines, does not cause irritation. Take 1 tablespoon 3-4 times a day.

Duphalac treatment with dolichosigma

Dufalac is a mild laxative that has virtually no side effects and contraindications. It can be taken even during pregnancy. It is recommended to take 1-2 tablespoons at a time. You can take 3-4 times a day.

Probiotics on dolichosigme

Constipation is often accompanied by a disturbance of the microflora. The species and quantitative composition of the bacterial flora changes. This also negatively affects the body's condition, can aggravate constipation, cause additional inflammation. If the normal ratio is violated, the predominance of pathogenic flora may begin. Or free niches can occupy the fungus, which leads to the development of candidiasis. Inflammatory-infectious processes are transmitted to other organs and systems. Often, intestinal dysbiosis is accompanied by a violation of the microflora of the urinary organs, respiratory tract. Long-term impairment may lead to a decrease in immunity, or the development of autoimmune processes. Probiotics are used to normalize the microbiocenosis. They are used strictly according to the scheme that the doctor appointed. It is necessary to take a complete course. To finish the treatment without consulting the doctor in any case it is impossible, because the microflora can be broken even more. Well-proven drugs such as lactobacterin, bifidum, symbiote, various yogurt with bacterial leaven.

Enema with dolichosigma

The enemas are prescribed only if the constipation can not be eliminated with diet and laxatives. For enema, clean water, salt solutions, vegetable decoctions are used. It is impossible to abuse enemas, as this may lead to a decrease in defecation reflexes. With the continued use of enemas, the urge to defecate or develop incontinence may disappear. Also, the effect of prolonged use of enemas can be irritation of the intestinal walls, their inflammation. As a result, irritable bowel syndrome develops, colitis.

Vitamins

To eliminate constipation requires not only adequate nutrition, but also a sufficient amount of vitamin in the body. With dolichosigma it is recommended to take vitamins in the following daily concentrations:

• Vitamin PP - 60 mg
• Vitamin H - 150 μg
• Vitamin C - 500-1000 mg
• Vitamin A - 2400 μg
• Vitamin D - 45 mcg.

Physiotherapeutic treatment

In the therapy of dolichosigma, physiotherapeutic procedures are often used. Usually they are used if traditional therapy is ineffective. Also, physiotherapy is used at the stage of rehabilitation after the illness, in the postoperative period. They are widely used in sanatorium, spa and rehabilitation treatment.

The most effective methods are considered to be anterior abdominal wall massage, visceral massage, physiotherapy exercises and yoga therapy. Also, electrostimulation of the colon, hydrocolonotherapy, acupuncture. In addition, laser therapy can be prescribed. To administer drugs directly into tissues, electrophoresis and galvanization are used.

Massage of the abdomen with dolichosigma

With dolichosigma, you have to daily massage your abdomen. It helps to relax the tense areas, leads to a toned sluggish, atonic zone. As a result, the blood flow increases, the blood supply of internal organs, including the intestine, improves. Massage eliminates stagnant phenomena, improves peristalsis and motility, increases the contractile activity of smooth muscles. This promotes the progress of feces, reduces its density, hardness. Puffy phenomena, hyperemia are eliminated.

When carrying out a stomach massage, one should remember the basic rule: it must be clockwise. If movements are made counter-clockwise, diarrhea will develop.

Massage is carried out in several stages. First, gentle stroking is performed. Movement superficial, easy, is carried out by a grinding of a skin surface. Significantly improves blood circulation, the skin is rubbed up with light movements. Thus, we warm up the top layer, prepare the skin for further, deeper effects.

Then we turn to squeezing. Movements are made deeper, with pressure. Increases the intensity of exposure. The skin is rubbed, the effect is on a deeper layer. Primarily affected by subcutaneous tissue, the lower layers of the dermis, which are on the border between internal organs and skin. It makes it possible to prepare for the mechanical action deeper, inner layers.

Then go to the next stage - rubbing. Intensive action is carried out, the skin and subcutaneous muscle layer should be fully heated. Rubbing is carried out by long, intense movements in both directions. Blood circulation should increase, on the skin red spots should appear.

Then we proceed to kneading. This is the main stage, during which the full development of the muscle layer occurs, the main effect of the massage is achieved. All previous stages are essentially preparatory stages for kneading. You can not start immediately with kneading. Skin and upper muscle layers should be prepared to be applied gradually. Otherwise, you can get complications in the form of bruises, mechanical damage to tissues. In addition, if the site is not well prepared, it will be impossible to reach the desired layer and it will not be possible to eliminate stagnant phenomena. The procedure carried out without prior preparation will be painful.

We try to penetrate the fingertips deep into the abdomen, into the muscle layer. We pass along the intestine, along the bowels. We try to maximally grasp the muscle layer, stretch it, work, moving forward, in the direction in the rectum and anus.

The duration of such kneading should not exceed 15 minutes, after which we begin to reduce the intensity and depth of impact. Gradually move on to lighter, shallow movements. We perform several superficial strokes, then - intermittent vibratory movements, tapping, light pats. Then performs a long vibration reception - with the tips of your fingers create a vibration, oscillation along the entire digestive tract.

Of course, you can try this procedure yourself. But it is better to entrust it to the professional masseur who owns the skills of visceral massage. He will do everything right, with the necessary pace, rhythm, duration and depth of impact. The risk of complications with this procedure is significantly reduced.

Massage of the abdomen in waves with dolichosigma

It is better to perform usual massage by waves. You need to perform in a calm rhythm, clockwise. We perform light, wavy movements. First we try to go deeper into the skin with the tips of our fingers, then we give the main impact to the skin with the center of the palm. From the center of the palm we make a roll to the base of the palm, and we exert influence on this area. Then do the movements in reverse order.

If you look at the movement from the side, you should get a light wave, which deepens more and more inside the abdomen. First, the movements are light and superficial, then more in-depth. In the end, you need to try to touch as deep as possible layers, to squeeze, carefully work out each muscle and intestine, while moving the contents towards the rectum, the anus. The duration of the procedure is no more than 15-20 minutes.

We finish the procedure slowly. Gradually, we begin to slow down the movement, reduce the intensity of exposure, the depth of the muscle layer. We finish the procedure with light, superficial movements. You can make an easy vibration at the end, a few pats.

Acupressure with dolichosigme

Acupressure involves exposure to biologically active points, which are located not only in the intestinal region, but also throughout the body. With the help of receptors and nerve endings, these points are associated with the corresponding areas of the intestine. If you carefully study the main points, you can significantly improve blood flow, metabolic processes in the relevant areas of the intestine, reduce the severity of stagnation and pain.

It is on the point effect that almost all eastern medicine is based, su-jok therapy. You can perform the procedure yourself at home, but the quality and effectiveness of it is significantly reduced compared to professional performance. Influence on the points can be various ways - by pressing, patting, scrolling. Apply even a point thermal and cold effect. But the traditional method of influence is pressure.

Massage is performed on the feet. First, the skin is pre-prepared for action. Perform a classic stroking. Calm smooth movements of the skin stroked on the surface. Then the depth and intensity of the impact increases, we turn to squeezing. Gradually we go deeper into the skin, the movements become more intense and pressing. After this, we proceed to rubbing - the skin is intensively rubbed into various sides. A burning sensation should appear. With good grinding, blood circulation improves, and the skin becomes more red.

Now go directly to point massage. Apply pressure to pressure. Find the desired point and apply pressure to it with your thumb. The intensity of exposure should be moderate: it is important to feel sufficient pressure and deepening deep into the tissue, but there should be no painful sensations.

In order to have an effect on the sigmoid colon, it is necessary first of all to find on the foot a point that corresponds to this gut. It is located in the central part of the foot, in the area of the protuberance of the thumb. We work through this zone, then we move on to working the entire zone from the thumb to the little finger. Slowly we pass to each finger and we work point pads of fingers.

We pass to the Achilles tendon and forcefully start massaging this zone. Then we work through the soft pressing movements of the entire foot. We begin rubbing the entire foot, then slowly go to stroking. We finish the movement with light vibration techniques.

Exercise therapy for dolichosigma

The therapeutic physical culture is very useful for dolichosigma, since it is the low level of mobility and sedentary lifestyle that causes it to develop. Lessons are better spent in the conditions of a polyclinic or special health centers, under the guidance of experienced instructors. They will tell you what exercises are suitable in each particular case, control the intensity and dosage of the load.

With chronic constipation and dolichosigma, exercises that are associated with both intensive exercise and moving exercises are suitable. It is recommended to perform jumps. At the same time, one should strive to perform as many jumps as possible in one minute. Begin with a slow rhythm: no more than 30 jumps per minute. After that, gradually increase the load: weekly add no more than 10 jumps. After 2 months it is necessary to reach the speed of 100-150 jumps per minute. It is useful to alternate jumps on two legs with jumps on one leg. Also useful are jumping rope, both forward and reverse.

Squats are also useful. We must crouch according to a certain pattern: first we stand exactly. We start to slowly go down. When we are down, we try to relax the body, we stretch the back exactly, try to straighten the spine as much as possible, relax the muscles along it. We sit in this position for another 10 seconds. After that, we start to slowly rise up. We reach a position where the legs are parallel to the floor. We linger in this position, after we begin to squat again. They sat down, completely relaxed below. Particular attention is paid to the spine and muscles located along it. We rest in this position for 10 seconds, then start slowly to rise upwards for the next 10 seconds. They rose, then completely relaxed their arms, legs, shook hands. We have a rest for 10 seconds and continue to squat again. In total, it is necessary to perform 10 such squats. After fully mastered squats in such a rhythm, you can increase the load. The duration of each of the stages of squats is increased first to 20 seconds, then to 30, 40, 50 and 1 minute.

After each such squatting in a slow rhythm, it is necessary to perform squats in a fast rhythm. To do this, we squat at a speed of 50 squats per minute. If you can not do it completely - you can not do deep squats, just sit down a bit, setting the amplitude. It is enough to bend the legs slightly in the knees, but the main thing is to perform at the right speed. After that, you can increase the depth of squats, gradually reaching hollow, deep squats with a speed of 50 per minute.

After performing squats, it is advisable to perform exercises aimed at developing the press. For the development of the lower press we lay down on the back, hands behind the head. Legs need to be clamped between any object, so that they do not move and do not come off the floor during the exercise. You can ask someone from the relatives to hold their feet. Slowly we rise upwards, we lower a head on knees, then we fall in a starting position. We perform 10 times, gradually increasing the load up to 100 times.

For pumping the lower press you need to lie down on the floor, lying on your back, relax. Then we lift the even legs up, bend them in the knees, try to bring them as close as possible to the stomach. At the same time, raise your head and touch your knees with your forehead. Begin with 10 times, gradually increasing the load to 100 times.

It is also useful to perform the exercise "Boat". For this we lay down on the stomach, hands behind the head, legs straight. We tear off the head together in hands with the floor. We raise as high as possible, try to tear off the chest and shoulders from the floor. After that, raise your legs up, as wide as possible. We keep our arms and legs in elevated position, try to tear off as much as possible from the floor. After that we start to swing like a boat on waves. We try to raise our hands, head to the chest as high as possible. We also raise our legs as high as possible. We alternate the lifting of the hands and head with the lifting of the legs, creating as much as possible the amplitude of the swing.

Exercises and gymnastics with dolichosigme

Any physical exercises, including gymnastics, have a positive effect on the treatment of dolichosigma. When performing physical exercises, blood flow increases, the contractile activity of muscles, including smooth ones, increases, as a result of which the peristalsis and motility of the intestine improve substantially.

From gymnastic exercises the most useful are exercises aimed at relaxing and stretching muscles. At the same time, the set of stretching exercises given below is well proven.
