In a recent study, a relationship has been found between oral sex and bacterial vaginosis or BV. However, bacterial vaginosis is not a sexually transmitted infection (STI). Bacterial vaginosis is an infection of vagina caused by an imbalance between good and bad bacteria in that part. This leads to inflammation. Your vagina should contain lactobacilli bacteria that produce lactic acid. 

This prevents other harmful bacteria from growing there. However, if its number is small, your vagina will become less acidic, which allows the bad bacteria to thrive and increase infection. Bacterial Vaginosis can affect women of any age. It occurs mostly in women between 15 and 44 years of age. This vaginal infection also increases the risk of developing STIs such as chlamydia and gonorrhea. 

Bacteria responsible for BV, Fusobacterium nucleatum

Studies at the University of California suggest that oral sex may possibly promote bacterial vaginosis. In the study, researchers investigated the link between the development of Fusobacterium nucleatum, the bacterium responsible for BV. Fusobacterium nucleatum, commonly found in the oral cavity, is a major component of dental plaque and is associated with gum disease. After studying bacterial behavior in mice and human vaginal specimens, researchers noted that Fusobacterium nucleatum aids the growth of other bacteria trapped in BV. On the basis of information obtained from this study, experts have concluded that oral sex may be a potential trigger for bacterial vaginosis.

What is Bacterial Vaginosis?

Bacterial vaginosis is a sexually transmitted infection that occurs in women. Bacteria are present in the vagina, but when harmful bacteria start growing, the balance of bacteria present in the vagina begins to deteriorate. These different types of bacteria cause problems. Bacterial vaginosis (BV) occurs when the amount of problem-causing bacteria that normally occurs in the body increases. These bacteria alter the normal vaginal lactobacilli, causing the balance to deteriorate. Sometimes having unprotected sex also increases the risk of bacterial vaginosis. There are many other activities that can give rise to this problem.

Causes of Bacterial Vaginosis

You may develop bacterial vaginosis by activities that damage the natural balance of vaginal bacteria. One such activity is sex. But there are other activities that increase the risk of its occurrence.

• Having unprotected sex.
• Oral sex may increase the risk of bacterial vaginosis.
• Having sex with a new partner or multiple partners
• Use of Harsh soap, liquid product to clean the design.
• Using tampons for longer.
• Too much douche
• Using certain contraceptives such as diaphragms
• Establishing unprotected sex with multiple people.
• The use of toilet sheets or swimming pools does not cause bacterial vaginosis.

Symptoms of Bacterial Vaginosis

The most common symptom that appears in a bacterial vaginosis infection is the discharge of white liquid. Not having sex in a safe way increases the chances of bacterial vaginosis. Also, the risk of sexually transmitted disease increases when there is bacterial vaginosis. If you have bacterial vaginosis, you may or may not have some symptoms. Symptoms include watery discharge from the vagina, changes in its color, fishy smell from the vagina, burning sensation during urination and itching around the vagina. Various factors such as douching, sexual intercourse with multiple partners, smoking, using vaginal deodorants in the vagina, using antiseptic liquid while bathing may increase the risk of developing bacterial vaginosis.

• Watery discharge from vagina.
• Vagina can smell like rotten fish.
• Burning or pain while urinating.
• Itching on the outer skin of the vagina.
• Swelling and redness around the vagina.

Inflammation of the lymph glands can occur due to several reasons. The most common cause is infection. Consult your doctor if inflammation occurs in your lymph glands and you do not know why inflammation has occurred in them, or if the inflammation in the lymph glands due to infection does not heal within two weeks. (Sometimes called lymph nodes) occur throughout the body. The lymphatic glands that are close to each other are often in groups or chains. For example, the lymph glands on the side of the neck, axilla and pelvis are in groups. However, many other places in the body have lymph glands.

The lymphatic glands are joined together by a network of lymph channels. Lymph is a fluid that forms between the cells of the body. This water liquid travels through various lymphatic glands into the lymph channels and eventually drains into the blood stream.

Lymphatic and lymphatic glands the immune system. Are the major part of. They contain white blood cells (lymphocytes) and antibodies that protect the body against infection.

Why the lymphatic glands swell?

 The lymph glands are usually pea-sized. You can sometimes feel them as lumps under the skin. People often feel their lymph glands in the neck. The lymph glands under the skin are more noticeable and easier to feel if they cause inflammation. They can be of the size of a stone or even larger.

You cannot see or feel the lymphatic glands deep in the chest or abdomen (abdomen), if swelling occurs in them.

The lymph glands can become inflamed due to the following reasons:

Infection – most common cause

The lymphatic glands near an infection quickly swell and become soft while fighting the germs (bacteria, viruses, etc.) of the immune system. When the infection ceases, the lymphatic glands usually return to their normal pea size. It may take a week or longer for the lymph glands to slowly return to normal after infection. Examples include the following:

• Throat infections (throat infections), tonsillitis (tonsillitis), the common cold (common cold) and tooth-related infections can be caused by lymph glands in the neck.
• Head skin or head lice (head lice) may also cause swelling of the lymph glands in the back of the head.
• Infection of the skin of the arm can cause swelling of the lymph glands in the armpits.
• Infections of the feet or genitals, or nappy rash (nappy rash), can also cause swelling of the lymph glands in the pelvis.
• Viral infections such as flu (influenza), chickenpox (chickenpox) or glandular fever (infectious mononucleosis) (glandular fever (infectious mononucleosis)) affect the entire body. Swollen lymph nodes have developed in different parts of your body, such as the neck, armpits, and pelvis.
• Cancer, lymphoma and leukemia – less common causes
• Some cells from cancer can spread (metastases) through the lymph channels by breaking the surrounding lymph glands. These cancer cells then grow and multiply in the lymph glands and the glands swell. for example:

• Breast cancer can spread to the lymph glands in the armpits.
• Throat cancer can spread to the lymph glands in the neck.
• Lung (lungs) and stomach cancers (colon cancer) can spread to the lymph glands, which you usually cannot see or feel in the chest and abdomen.
• Skin cancers (skin cancer) can first spread to the skin area involved in the lump glands.

Lymph and cancers of the blood systems (non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma), Hodgkin’s lymphoma (Hodgkin’s lymphoma) and leukemia’s (leukemia’s)) can cause inflammation in many lymph glands.

As a rule, inflammation in the lymph glands due to cancer, lymphoma, and leukemia develops more slowly than inflammation caused by infection. They are painless at first.

Other less common causes include the following

Perhaps, swollen lymphatic glands may arise due to the following reasons:

• Reactions to certain medicines.
• Glycogen storage disorders (glycogen storage disorder.).
• Sarcoidosis (sarcoidosis.).
• Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) (systemic lupus erythematos (SLE).
• Some types of arthritis, such as rheumatoid arthritis (chronic arthritis).
• Less common infections, such as HIV (HIV), Kawasaki disease (Kawasaki disease) and tuberculosis (TB) (tuberculosis (TB).)

What is the treatment of inflammation in the lymph glands?

Treatment depends on the cause of the disease. Swollen lymph nodes indicate various conditions, all of which vary in form and treatment. For example, the most common cause is viral infection. No special treatment is recommended in this case and the lymph glands usually return to normal after one week. However, lymph nodes due to a cancer, lymphoma or leukemia

What should I do if I notice swelling in the lymph glands?

Swollen lymph nodes are common due to viral infection. For example, the lymph glands in the neck may swell up and down, if you have frequent throat infections. This is a matter of little concern. Swelling in the lymphatic glands is of greater concern if no apparent cause of swelling appears to them. Tell your doctor if:

You see swelling in the lymph glands and you do not know why there is swelling. For example, you are not prone to infection that can cause inflammation in the lymph glands.

If you find a swollen lymph gland just above or below the collar bone (clavicle). Swelling of the glands in this area can be a cause for concern.

The inflammation in the lymph glands ceases within two weeks due to infection.

Lymph nodes are not one but many glands that form in various parts of the body such as the back of the jaw, the armpit, behind the ear, behind the ear, behind the head, etc. Its main function is to smooth the immune system so that the body can fight harmful germs. But for some reason there is inflammation in the lymph nodes, this problem is called lymphadenopathy or lymphadenitis. Due to this, infection in other parts of the body can also occur. Apart from this, problems like cold, tonsils, gingivitis, skin infections, etc. can also occur. To reduce swelling of the lymph nodes, you can try home remedies. In this slideshow we are telling about those tips. 

Fomentation with hot water

Foment with hot water to reduce swelling in the lymph nodes. When the warm temperature is in contact with other organs of the body, the blood circulation of the body increases and swelling decreases. For this, heat the water and soak a clean cloth in it and keep it on the inflamed area for 5 to 10 minutes. Repeat this action several times a day until the swelling is gone. You can also clean the swollen area with hot water.

If there is swelling in the lymph node found in the throat or in the jaw, gargling with salt water provides relief soon. Salt and water reduces inflammation of the lymph node. For this, heat a cup of water lightly, add half a teaspoon of salt to it. Then gargle with this water. Repeat this several times a day until the swelling subsides.

Garlic has anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that remove any infection easily. For this, eat 2 or 3 buds of garlic. Use garlic in food also. If the problem is more serious then massage with garlic oil 2 or 3 times a day. This will bring relief soon. 

Apple vinegar is considered very effective in reducing inflammation of the lymph node. This increases the pH level of the body, which increases the body’s immunity. Also, the antibacterial properties present in it also prevent infection. For this, mix apple cider vinegar with equal amount of water and soak it in a cloth and apply it on the inflamed area. Use it twice a day. Apart from this, one teaspoon apple vinegar, one teaspoon of honey mixed with water, it is very quick to eat. 

Turmeric is very effective.

Turmeric has many properties, it also has anti-inflammatory properties that reduces any type of inflammation easily. It also prevents infection and by using it, any type of wound also heals easily and quickly.

Children often wet beds at night. This problem occurring in children is also called Bed wetting. In this, the child automatically passes urine after sleeping at night. You don’t have to worry too much about it. This can happen if the child does not get toilet training properly. This is a normal part of the child’s development.

Bed Waiting is not a concern until the age of 7. By this age, your child may be learning to stop urination at night. If after this age you are having trouble wetting the bed at night, then you should understand this problem and treat it.

Causes of urination in bed

For various reasons, children urinate in bed at bedtime, such as:

• Your child’s bladder may not have developed enough to stop urination at night.
• If the veins that control the bladder are slowly maturing, the child does not open sleep when he urinates. This is especially so during deep sleep.
• Some children do not have enough urine-resistant hormones in the body to reduce urination at night in the child.
• A child may have difficulty stopping urination due to urethra infection.
• In sleep apnea, there is difficulty in breathing during sleep, in which urine can sometimes come out at bedtime.
• In addition, the child may wet the bed at night due to diabetes, chronic constipation, urinary tract or nervous system 
• tructure.

Types of bed wetting

The problem of bed waiting can be divided into two parts, which are as follows:

Primary nocturnal enuresis: When a child has been bed wetting since childhood and continues even after the age of five, it is called primary bed waiting.

Secondary nocturnal enuresis: In this case the child stops wetting the bed for about six months, but then the problem starts again.

If you also wonder why your child wet the bed, the answer is in the next part of the article. First know the reason for primary bed waiting.

Due to primary bed waiting

Bedwetting in sleep is not a mischief or laziness of children, but there can be some reasons behind this problem, which are as follows:

Bladder problems: Some children have a very small bladder, due to which they are unable to control the high amount of urine. In such a situation, excessive intake of fluids can cause pressure on the bladder and can cause bleeding in children. In addition, some children also take time to learn to control their bladder.

Antidiuretic hormone: These hormones control urine in the body (4). Lack of these can often cause bed wetting in children.

Deep Sleep: Sometimes due to deep sleep, children do not feel bladder pressure and do not feel the need to go to the bathroom. This may also be one reason why children wet the bed.

After knowing the reasons for primary bed waiting, let us tell you what can be caused by secondary bed waiting.

Due to secondary bed waiting

The reasons for secondary bed waiting may be different due to secondary bed waiting,:

• Urinary tract infection
• diabetes
• Kidney problem
• Suffering from sleep apnea 
• Due to constipation
• Due to pinworm
• Enlarged thyroid hormone

Bed wetting risk factors

The following risk factors may be behind the problem of bed waiting:

• If the child’s parents or both of them have been suffering from bed waiting problem.
• This problem is more common among boys than girls.
• This problem is more common in children between five and eight years of age.
• Weak economic conditions and living in rural areas.
• Suffering from emotional or psychological factors such as stress or depression.
• Any type of family problem.
• Just wetting the bed does not diagnose the problem of bed waiting. This requires medical checkup, which we are talking about in the next part of the article. Further know how bed weighting can be diagnosed.

Bed wetting diagnosis

The reason behind why your child wet the bed can be determined with the help of diagnosis. The following types of procedures are done for this:

Bladder Diary: In this you need to keep in mind how much water or other drinks your child consumes and how often he uses the bathroom. Apart from this, you also need to keep in mind how often the child wet the bed in a month. For the correct diagnosis, you will have to give this complete information related to the child to the doctor.

Urine test: Doctors can check your child’s urine. This test can detect bacteria or infections present in urine. The presence of white blood cells and bacteria in the urine can be a symptom of urinary tract infection.

Other scans: The doctor may also do some other scans of your child, such as ultrasound, MRI, urodynamic testing. With the help of these scans, any birth defects present in the child or any blockage in the urinary tract can be detected. These scans can determine the size of the bladder, weak muscles and muscle movements.

Bed wetting complications

Although, one does not face any serious physical complications due to bed wetting, but some of the problems mentioned below can definitely come in front of you:

Skin rashes: Due to being in contact with the wet bed overnight, there can be rashes in and around the baby’s genitals. This can also happen to children who sleep in diapers overnight.

Psychological complications: A child may feel embarrassed about wetting the bed again and again. This may cause a decrease in their self-esteem.

Lack of confidence: Due to inability to control urine, the smell of urine often starts coming from children. Because of this, they seem to lack confidence in getting up and sitting among the people.

Tips to prevent or prevent bed waiting problem.

To save your child from the problem of bed waiting, you can adopt the following preventive measures :

• Make it a habit for the child to go to the bathroom every two to three hours. Try to go to the bathroom at least four to seven times a day.
• Try not to consume too much beverages during the night, but rather get up and drink well from morning till 5 in the evening.
• Prevent children from drinking coffee, citrus juice and sports drinks. They can produce more urine in the body.
• If the child is suffering from constipation, get him treated soon.
• Apart from these preventive measures, some changes in lifestyle can also bring relief from the problem of bed waiting. We will discuss this issue in the next part of the article.

Lifestyle changes to prevent bedwetting in children

By making some changes in the lifestyle of children, you can solve their problem of bedwetting. These changes can be as follows:

• Have the child go to the bathroom before going to bed at night.
• Make him a habit of drinking soup before dinner instead of juice or some other drink.
• Let the child get into the habit of drinking a full glass of water at one go. Repeatedly drinking some water will put pressure on the bladder.
• According to the advice of the doctor, make a time table of how long after drinking water, the child has to send to the bathroom and do the same. In this way, the child will gradually start to understand how much time his bladder gets full and when he needs to urinate.
• Instead of scolding children, talk to them and explain to them that this is a problem from which relief can be found. Scolding can make a child nervous and take longer to recover.
• During the treatment, whenever the child does not wet the bed overnight, praise him. This will increase his confidence and the problem will be treated soon.

Ayurvedic view in bipolar disorder

Though there are recognizable elements of pitta in mania and of kapha in depression all mental health issues express at least some vata-aggravation.

Vata dosha manifests as movement, expansion, changeability, instability, coldness, subtlety, dryness, roughness and lightness.
Vata imbalances can manifest as insomnia, fear, changing thoughts and feelings, restlessness, weight loss, tremors, hopelessness and over-stimulation. All these symptoms are ruled by the qualities of air and ether: unstable, ungrounded with one’s head in the clouds, spaced out, and jumping out of one’s skin , high as a kite.

Doshas also rule the seasons and certain times of the day. Vata dosha happens to rule late summer and early autumn – which is happening right now! Staying grounded at this time of year is especially important to remedy vata-aggravation and to minimize like increasing like.
