Modern humanity regularly faceswith more and more new various diseases. And this is not surprising - a variety of factors have a negative impact on the body of a modern person: chronic fatigue, typical for most people, unfavorable environmental conditions, not very healthy food, and many others. And the work of the immune system of a modern person in recent years leaves much to be desired. But human health largely depends on immunity. Therefore, doctors have the main task - to strengthen the human immune system and increase its performance. Modern pharmacology offers a fairly large number of drugs that are designed to stimulate the immune system. They are called immunomodulators. However, in no case should you treat these drugs as vitamin and mineral complexes. Their effect on the body is very strong, and therefore they must be used with great caution, and only as prescribed by a doctor. And doctors, as a rule, try to resort to treatment with such pharmacological drugs extremely rarely, only in the most extreme cases. In addition to pharmacological drugs, there are quite a few other ways to strengthen the immune system. And one of these methods is autohemotherapy - blood transfusion from a vein to the buttock. Simply put, blood is taken from a vein and injected into the buttock - either subcutaneously or intramuscularly. Blood transfusion from a vein to the buttock is considered an immunocorrective therapy procedure.
Features of autohemotherapy
This type of therapy is used in the mostvarious fields of medicine: oncology, hematology, therapy. In addition, autohemotherapy is very popular in cosmetology. There are also several different modifications of autohemotherapy, but doctors, in most cases, still prefer the classic procedure. To carry out classic autohemotherapy, a health worker must take blood from a vein of a sick person. And it is this fresh blood that must be injected intramuscularly into the upper outer quadrant of the buttock immediately after collection, without processing it in any way or subjecting it to any influences. In order to correctly determine the place where the injection should be made, it is necessary to visually divide the buttocks with two lines - horizontal and vertical. You will get four squares. It is in the right or left upper outer square that the injection must be made. This requirement is explained very simply - it is in these parts of the buttocks that there are the smallest number of nerve endings. But there are many more blood vessels there - due to this, blood, and any pharmacological drugs, are absorbed much faster. This means that the risk of developing infiltrates is much lower. By the way, in order to minimize the risk of developing infiltrates, doctors recommend applying a heating pad to the injection sites. And, of course, do not forget to treat the injection sites. This article will not describe treatment regimens for this type of treatment, as they are strictly individual. Everything depends on the purposes for which the blood transfusion from a vein to the buttock is used, the general condition of the patient, and many other factors. The only thing that is true in all cases is the duration of the autohemotherapy course. It averages ten injections. The dosage of blood injected under the skin is also determined by the doctor individually, in each specific case. However, if during autohemotherapy the patient experiences side effects such as fever or severe tissue swelling in the injection area, the dose of the next portion of blood injected will be reduced by at least half. In some cases, the doctor decides on the need for subcutaneous rather than intramuscular administration of venous blood. However, with such injections, the doctor must be especially careful - with subcutaneous injections, local inflammatory reactions very often occur, which manifest themselves as swelling, pain and redness in the injection area, as well as general negative symptoms, such as:
- Significant increase in body temperature.
- The appearance of muscle pain and pain in the joints.
- Appearance of a feeling of chill.
At the first sign of such symptoms, subcutaneous blood injection should be stopped immediately.
Indications for autohemotherapy
And now it's time to tell in more detailabout the cases in which doctors can resort to treating a sick person with autohemotherapy, and in which cases it is strictly prohibited. So, the indications for autohemotherapy:
- Skin diseases
Transfusion of blood from a vein into the buttock is extremelyeffective for all kinds of skin diseases, such as atopic dermatitis, various forms of eczema, furunculosis. Autohemotherapy has helped thousands of teenage girls get rid of acne and pimples. Cosmetologists and dermatologists have long noticed and widely use this property of autohemotherapy.
- Diseases of the female reproductive system
It is also not uncommon to use autohemotherapygynecologists resort to it. This procedure has the most favorable effect on the entire functioning of the female reproductive system. Autohemotherapy is especially effective for diseases of the reproductive organs that have an inflammatory nature, both acute and chronic. Significant relief occurs already on the fifth or sixth day of treatment.
- Vegetosovascular dystonia
Autohemotherapy is not only very effectiveeliminates all the symptoms of this disease, but also eliminates the root cause of the disease. Those doctors who have specialized in the study and practical application of autohemotherapy unanimously claim that the clinical effects of such treatment are very, very similar:
- Rehabilitation and protective mechanisms of the human body are greatly intensified.
- The intensity of the soft tissue regeneration process is increasing, both after injuries and after surgical interventions.
- Increase both mental and physical performance.
Other blood transfusions
In addition to autohemotherapy, there are other typesblood transfusion. Thus, a transfusion may be necessary if a person has had extensive blood loss, for example, as a result of surgery or some serious injury. Such blood loss poses a serious threat to a person's life, since his hemoglobin level and blood pressure are significantly reduced. Transfusion is advisable to carry out only if the bleeding has stopped. This can only be done in a hospital setting, and only with the use of suitable blood of the same group. Blood is usually supplied to hospitals by a blood transfusion station. It, in turn, receives blood from a donor. By the way, it is the blood transfusion station that ensures that the blood is of proper quality.
Features of blood transfusion
Transfusion is quite complex anda serious procedure that requires special preparation and constant medical supervision. The first thing that must be done before a blood transfusion is to check the individual compatibility of the donor and recipient's blood. If the results of this test are satisfactory, and the compatibility is high enough, the doctor will proceed to the so-called biological test. The essence of the biological test is as follows: 25 ml of blood is injected into the patient intravenously, every three minutes, for twenty minutes. During this time, the doctor must very carefully monitor the patient's vital signs. And only if this test also brings satisfactory results, can you proceed directly to the transfusion itself. During the blood transfusion, the patient must also be under constant medical supervision. The transfusion itself must be carried out extremely slowly, and the doctor must record such vital signs as:
- Blood pressure level.
- Heart rate.
- Other subjective feelings of a sick person.
These precautions are extremely important -if signs of deterioration of the condition appear, the transfusion must be stopped immediately. There is another type of transfusion, which is also sometimes used in medicine - this is a reverse transfusion. Unlike the above-described direct transfusion, which uses donor blood, in this case your own blood is used, which is poured either into the chest or into the abdominal cavity. Such cases are typical for ectopic pregnancy, injuries to parenchymatous organs, etc. In any case, in no case should you forget that any manipulations related to blood transfusion should be carried out only by medical workers. Self-medication in this case is unacceptable. We recommend reading:
