Defecation may be painful, require excessive effort and incomplete rectal evacuation.

Often what is bothering you constipation is itself but the feelings associated as bloating (Expulsion of gases), the flatulence (Feel bloated), and discomfort in the lower belly, tiredness, and bad mood all this trouble occurs.

Pregnancy is a time of life of women particularly predisposed to this problem because there is increased intestinal relaxation, and therefore the elimination is slower. Moreover, the pressure of growing uterus on the intestines alters its normal activity.

There are some ways to prevent and improve this symptom:

• Diet: Intake of foods high in fiber such as fruits and vegetables, whole grains, whole meal bread, vegetables and nuts.

Blood pressure-lowering medicines known as beta blockers, according to research findings are also useful to help reduce the spread of breast cancer.

Hypertension

These medicines are believed to work to prevent stress hormones stimulate cancer cells. Beta-blocker medicines to compete with stress hormones and receptors bound to the same target. But unlike the stress hormones, beta blockers do not activate the cancer cells.

Powe and his friends from England and Germany to evaluate 466 cancer patients, a total of 92 patients have received medicines lowering blood pressure. 92 and 43 of these patients beta blocker uses the same time their breast cancer diagnosis.

Results showed that those who use beta blockers decreased the formation of cancer and decrease the formation of cancer returning in the same area. Compared with participants who use other types of hypertension medicines or participants who do not use blood pressure-lowering medicines, they were 71 percent lower risk of dying from breast cancer. In addition, users of beta blockers are also 57 percent lower risk of cancer returning.

Other scientist said the findings were interesting but still includes a preliminary study. The concept of controlling tumor growth by preventing stress or inflammatory response is not new.

For example, other studies have found that women with breast cancer who take aspirin (an anti-inflammatory) on a regular basis, decreased risk of recurrence of cancer returning.

The arterial fibroid affects mostly women from 35 years. For many years surgery was inevitable for the treatment of this disease.

Fibroids

Arterial embolization is now a new technique to remove fibroids without surgery, details on this technique very interesting.

Artery embolization, fibroids without removing the scalpel.

This new technique is an alternative for the treatment of arterial fibroid. The arterial fibroids are often characterized by pain in pelvic and abundance of bleeding during menstruation. The technique involves the introduction of synthetic tiny bubbles inside the arteries in the uterus. The injection is sufficient to introduce bubbles that will avoid using a scalpel. Once lodged inside the arteries, the balls will act as asphyxiate fibroids. The beads prevent the supply of fibroids gradually causing their disappearance. Arterial embolization is performed under local anaesthesia and takes about 3 days of hospitalization.

Advantages and disadvantages of arterial embolization

Arterial embolization to the advantage that you avoid treatments involving former great surgery, embolization is a technique very precise removal of fibroids is using a radio monitoring closely monitored by specialists. This clarification will eliminate all fibroids in one intervention. Embolization is a technique very advantageous for women still wanting to have children after treatment.

Two days recovering in hospital are necessary to avoid possible complications. The cramps are common during this period but they are treated with drugs injected intravenously. With some pain during the first week, embolization should not cause other side effects. The anti-inflammatory drugs are sufficient to treat the temporary pain.

In more severe cases, it is called secondary dysmenorrhoea. At this stage, the pain is persistent and unbearable. It is no longer only prostaglandins but other causes are taken into account. Medical examinations are required to determine what it really is: ovarian cyst, malformation of the uterus, infection, fibroids…
