THE SOLUTION FOR VAGINAL INFECTION!

 

                                   VAGINAL INFECTIONS 

SOLUTIONS

                                      THE SPECIFICALLY FEMININE PROBLEM OF LEUCORRHOEA OR EXCESSIVE VAGINAL DISCHARGE IS ONE WHICH BEEN NEGLECTED FOR FAR TOO LONG. FROM SHEER LACK  OF INFORMATION AND A SENSE OF SECRECY, MANY WOMEN BECOME WORRIED, ASHAMED AND AFRAID OF THIS ESSENTIALLY SIMPLE AND MANAGEABLE DISORDER. THE SAME APPLIES TO MANY SIMPLE AND EASILY TREATED INFECTIONS. THE UNDERLYING IMBALANCE WHICH CAUSES LEUCORRHOEA AND CHEMICAL CHANGES ALSO ALLOWS INFECTIONS TO ARISE. LEUCORRHEA AND INFECTIONS CAN BE SEEN AS PROGRESSIVELY WORSENING IMBALANCES AND LOSS OF VITALITY IN THE LOWER PELVIC REGION.

NATURAL VAGINAL SECRETIONS

HEALTHY VAGINAL DISCHARGE IS USUALLY TRANSPARENT OR SLIGHTLY MILKY AND MAY BE A LITTLE SLIPPERY. HOWEVER, THE TEXTURE VARIES WITH THE PHASES OF THE MENTRUAL CYCLE. SOMETIMES IT IS THIN AND WATERY, AT OTHER TIMES IT IS VERY WHITE, AND QUITE THICK AND STICKY LIKE JELLY. THE AMOUNT OF SECRETION ALSO VARIES FROM TIME TO TIME AND FROM WOMAN TO WOMAN. IT MAY BECOME NOTICABLE EVEN IN YOUNG GIRLS SEVERAL YEARS BEFORE PUBERTY.  IF THE VAGINA IS HEALTHY, THERE IS NO SMELL AND NO IRRITATION OR REDNESS OF THE VAGINA AND SURROUNDING AREA.

DIET IS AN IMPORTANT FACTOR IN LEUCORRHOEA. EXCESS MUCUS FROM TOO MUCH MILK, WHILE FLOUR AND POLISHED RICE IS EXPELLED IN THE FORM OF BODILY DISCHARGES, INCLUDING THOSE FROM THE VAGINA. HIGHLY SPICED AND FATTY FOOD, AND LARGE QUANTITIES OF SUGAR ALSO CONTRIBUTE TO THIS PROBLEM. DIETS HIGH IN PROCESSED SUGAR AND REFINED CARBOHYDRATES ALSO CREATE IDEAL CONDITIONS FOR VAGINAL INFECTIONS BECAUSE THEY CHANGE THE ACIDITY LEVEL OF THE VAGINA AND ALLOW HARMFUL BACTERIA TO PROLIFERATE. NUMEROUS WOMEN HAVE REPORTED THAT SIMPLY ADJUSTING THEIR DIET HAS DRASTICALLY REDUCED VAGINAL DISCHARGE. LEUCORRHOEA VERY OFTEN OCCURS IN CONJUNCTION WIH CONSTIPATION WHICH IS WELL-KNOWN TO RESULT NOT ONLY FROM FAULTY DIET BUT ALSO FROM STRESS AND TENSION.

SEXUAL ACTIVITY IS A COMMON MEANS OF TRANSMISSION OF BOTH URINARY AND REPRODUCTIVE TRACT INFECTIONS FROM ONE INDIVIDUAL TO ANOTHER. EXCESSIVE OR UNSATISFACTORY SEXUAL ACTIVITY IS USUALLY BASED IN MENTAL AND EMOTIONAL TENSION, BOREDOM AND FRUSTRATION. IT IS SELF-CENTRED, IN THAT ONE PARTNER SEEKS PLEASURE WITHOUT THINKING OF THE OTHER'S NEEDS AND WANTS. THIS DEPLETES ENERGY FROM THE LOWER PSYCHIC CENTRES, RENDERING BOTH THE GENITAL AND URINARY TRACTS SUSCEPTIBLE TO INFECTION VIA SEXUAL TRANSFER.

HOW TO BALANCE

THE MOST COMMON CAUSE OF LEUCORRHOEA AND INFECTIONS ARE GENERALLY LOW VITALITY AND HORMONAL IMBALANCE. FOR WOMEN THE TWO ARE SO INTIMATELY LINKED THAT THEY CAN BESEEN AS SIMPLY TWO DIFFERENT WAYS OF STATING THE SAME PROBLEM. SINCE THIS IS THE CASE, YOGIC PRACTICES CAN HAVE DECIDED BENEFITS IN RELIEVING PERSISTENTLY EXCESSIVE DISCHARGE. IN THE CASE OF INFECTIONS THE FOLLOWING PRACTICES SHOULD BE INCORPORATED WITH MEDICAL TREATMENT, SO THAT WHILE MEDICINES REMOVE THE SYMPTOMS, YOG REMOVES THE IMBALANCE AT THE ROOT OF THE DISEASE.

1. ASANA : SURYA NAMASKARA, VAJRASANA, SHASHANKASANA, MARJARI-ASANA, USHTRASANA AND SHAKTI BANDHA SERIES, SARVANGASANA, VIPAREETA KARANI MUDRA, BHUJANGASANA, SHALABHSANA, ARE FOR THE MORE ADVANCED PRACTITIONERS.
2.  PRANAYAMA : NADI SHODHANA, BHASTRIKA AND UJJAYI FURTHER ENHANCE VITALITY AND BALANCE THE MIND AND EMOTIONS.
3.  BANDHA : THE MOST RELEVANT TO LEUCORRHOEA ARE MOOLA  BANDHA AND UDDIYANA BANDHA.
4.  MEDITATION : YOGA NIDRA AND ANTAR MOUNA SHORT CIRCUIT THE SPIRAL OF TENSION THAT DISTURBS HORMONAL BALANCE AND DEPLETES PRANA SHAKTI.

FURTHER RECOMMENDATIONS

• STRICT PERSONAL HYGIENE IS THE FIRST STEP IN DEALING WITHLEUCORRHOEA. IT IS NOT ONLY PREVENTS INFECTIONS AND MINIMIZES DISCOMFORT, BUT ALSO HELPS TO PUT THE MIND AT REST. WASH THE ANUS AND VULVA REGULARLY. PAT THE VALVA DRY AND TRY TO KEEP IT DRY. MANY VAGINAL INFECTIONS ARE DUE TO SPILLING ORGANISMS FROM THE ANUS TO THE VAGINA, SO ALWAYS WASH OR ORIENTAL SQUATTING POSTURE ON TOILET SEATS. IT IS NOT ONLY MORE EFFICIENT BUT ALSO MORE HYGIENIC.

• AVOID NYLON UNDERWEAR, TIGHTS OR PANTYHOSE. NYLON RETAINS BOTH MOISTURE AND HEAT, PROVIDING A "HOTHOUSE" ENVIROMENT THAT ENCOURAGES HARMFUL BACTERIA. WEAR ONLY LOOSE-FITTING COTTON UNDERWEAR OR, WHEN THE DISCHARGE IS NOT SO HEAVY, NONE AT ALL. MANY UNDESIRABLE ORGANISMS ARE KILLED SIMPLY BY EXPOSURE TO AIR, WHICH ALSO FRESHERS AND COOLS THE VAGINAL AREA.

• DOUCHING OR WASHING THE INTERIOR OF THE VAGINA CAN BE AN AID IN PREVENTING INFECTION PROVIDED IT IS NOT OVERDONE. THE HEALTHY VAGINA IS RATHER ACID, AND THIS ACIDITY ACTS AS A BARRIER TO INFECTION. SINCE BLOOD IS ALKALINE, THE ACIDITY LEVELS DROPS DURING MENSTRUATION AND WOMEN TEND TO BE MORE PRONE TO INFECTION. AT THIS TIME DOUCHING WITH A SLIGHTLY ACID SOLUTION WILL RE-ESTABLISH THE NORMAL PH AND MAY HAVE A PREVENTIVE VALUE.
