In a new video, obstetricians-gynecologists Olga Pryadukhina and Maria Tregubova talked about the most common problems in a woman’s life: about the reasons painful menstruation, itching at thrush, cyst formation и postpartum depression.
How to reduce pain during menstruation?
First of all, you need to determine what level of disturbances in your body affect pain during menstruation. Taking special pain medications does not always address the underlying cause.
Musculo-ligamentous tension in the pelvic region is one of the common causes of painful periods. You can check how stable you are by standing on an unstable support such as a balance disc.
Strong and destructive emotions are another cause of menstrual pain. Emotions such as fear, anger, anger often lead to severe tension in the pelvic diaphragm. As a result, the uterus cannot perform free vibrational contractions.

Postpartum depression
Pregnancy is a huge job. For 9 months, a large number of complaints and inconveniences appear: back pain, heartburn, feeling unwell, toxicosis. Childbirth is the hardest test for a woman, sometimes it can be quite difficult for a woman.
Therefore, after giving birth, a woman psychologically expects unloading and prepares for an easier and more pleasant time for her.
The problem arises if a woman immediately after childbirth becomes forced to constantly look after the child, take care of him, cannot find a minute for herself.
For a woman, external changes also play a significant role. After giving birth, going to the mirror, it is often difficult to recognize oneself: the appearance of the skin has changed, sometimes hair begins to fall out, nails break, a woman has gained a certain amount of kilograms.
At the same time, the usual rhythm of life changes greatly: it becomes impossible to lead your usual day. Going to work, meeting friends, flying somewhere – all this in the first months after childbirth is very difficult to accomplish.
All these aspects add up to psychological trauma.
It should be understood that recovery and handling of this trauma will be different for every woman.
Caring for loved ones, support from relatives, the ability to sometimes transfer the care of the child to other people, and go about her own business – greatly facilitate the recovery period after childbirth.
Itching with thrush
Itching complaints with thrush is a very common problem among women and their partners. Together with the gynecologist Maria Tregubova, we would understand the root causes of the onset and recurrence of candidiasis, and also find out why special drugs should also be taken with great care.
Strong emotions affect the tone of the uterus, the hormone progesterone and even the connective tissues of the body
Why cysts form and should they be removed?
Cysts are the building blocks of connective tissue healing, so their formation is more than normal. However, their increase over time can lead to rupture.
We discussed what is the root cause of such processes and how to protect yourself from unwanted operations.
For answers to these questions, see in the video.
