Flow: natural medicines

  

 

The genital flow constitutes a very common reason for gynecological consultation. The genital channel in women is open to the exterior and there aren’t mechanic barriers which avoid the entrance of germs. The occlusion of the introitus because of the lips, as well as the vagina’s anatomical shape (being a virtual cavity), are defense mechanisms by themselves.

Normally, the vagina constitutes an acid area due to the action of the Doderlein´s bacillus (always present in cytology) which lives in it. Any change in the vagina’s pH favors infections, either of the germs which are usually in it, or the ones in the exterior. Therefore, the first therapeutic and natural measure that can be taken is to rectify the vagina’s pH.

  •       Infections by fungus: if the flow is white, lumpy and thick and it is sticky as sour milk or yoghurt since two weeks before menstruation until then, it can be assumed that the patient has a mycotic infection. In this case, the vaginal area has to be neutralized with intra vaginal washings during 14 days – once or twice a day – using two spoonfuls of bicarbonate of sodium per litter of boiled water. At night, introduce some yoghurt through the vaginal tract and let it act the whole night until the next washing the following morning. The procedure with the yoghurt is repeated only at night.

  •      Infections by trichomonad or gardnerella: if the flow is yellowish, greenish, foul smelling and appears after finishing menstruating, it is likely to be an infection produced by trichomonad or gardnerella, so we have to acidify the vaginal area. We can do it with washings using a preparation consisting of two measures of boiled water by one of vinegar during 14 days.

  •      To normalize an anomalous flow: when there are unspecific anomalies in the vaginal flow another remedy consists in washing the genital area and the vagina once a day with boiled water and some drops of propolis extract, sold in herbalist´s shops.

It is convenient to lower or suppress the consumption of dairies when carrying out the local treatments described above.

Once the treatment is finished, if the flow hasn’t been normalized or anomalies are detected again and there are additional symptoms such us bigger-sized ganglions, cutaneous eruptions or high fever, a specialist has to be immediately consulted so as to carry out the gynecological revision with the correspondent vaginal cytology and determine whether there are or not germs provoking the symptoms. Vaginal symptoms are not always accompanied by germs. The lack of germs doesn’t imply the lack of symptoms.

The homeopathic medicine, by impelling the Vital Energy (repairing strength of every organism), helps to modify this manifestation of the “being” in its totality (including the emotional aspect) through the body.

The homeopathic treatment is the most accurate for these kinds of pathologies since it acts reestablishing the equilibrium of the defense systems of the body in order to be able to solve the problem by itself without “attacking” and destroying the vaginal flora, as with antibiotics and antimycotics.

I would like to state that before any lesion (painful or not) in the external genitals, the immediate visit to the gynecologist is imperative.
