Melanoma - a malignant and very aggressive tumor of the skin that is caused by the fact that regenerate and melanoblast melanocytes - pigment cells that produce the pigment melanin. The tumor contains in its cells a large number of melanin - and this is caused by the dark color. But sometimes there are options without pigment.

Of all skin tumors only 10% accounted for melanoma. Recently, the art continuously marked increase in the incidence. The number of diagnoses of skin melanoma in the past decade has grown significantly.

It is noted that at the age of sixty years, and women and men fall ill with the same frequency.

In the age range from thirty to fifty years, the peak incidence. For those who already have melanoma, the risk of new - about twelve percent. This disease prognosis is extremely poor - in the structure of mortality of melanoma of the skin is in ninth place (melanoma kills 1% of patients with malignant tumors).

Causes of melanoma

For the main cause of melanoma - the impact of ultraviolet radiation on open exposed skin. Ultraviolet radiation is carcinogenic in nature, especially traces squamous and basal cell skin cancer.

For the development of melanoma will mean a lot of intensity. Melanoma occurs most often as a direct result of single ultraviolet irradiation with a high intensity. It can develop in those patients that received in childhood or adolescence sunburn, it is often the appearance of the people who spend most of their time indoors, and leave to rest in the tropical countries.

In the development of melanoma can play a significant role trauma existing pigmented nevi. But it is possible that due to an injury the tumor begins to grow, but only accelerates the development, since there long before. These may be one-off effects on nevi - a bruise, cut, abrasion - or chronic exposure: chafing chain, rigid parts, seams of clothes, etc.

Many scientific research devoted to the study of heredity in the etiology of cancer. For example, found that in families where there is a dysplastic nevus syndrome, there is an increased ill melanoma. Those who have this syndrome, throughout life may develop a set of dysplastic nevi - their number may be more than 50 to a very high risk of transformation into melanoma. This syndrome type of autosomal dominant inheritance. Therefore, the diagnosis should be sent to the oncologist to inspect all took place in close relationship. It is desirable that such patients are treated to an oncologist for a follow-up visit twice a year, to quickly identify the signs of disease.

Increasingly, a lot of attention in the development of diseases such as melanoma of the skin, has been given immune factors. Immunosuppression as immunodeficiency states - these are the factors that contribute to this disease.

It was also established influence on the development of melanoma hormonal status, in particular, this can be seen in relation to women. In giving malignancy available pigmented nevi may have a stimulating effect puberty, climacteric reconstruction of pregnancy.

Classification melanoma step

In the development of melanoma are four stages:

• first step: Melanoma thickness of 2 mm, regional and distant metastases are absent.
• the second stage - melanoma thicker than 2 mm, regional and distant metastases no.
• third stage - put it where noted regional lymph nodes.
• The fourth stage is exposed, if detected distant metastases.

Melanoma often metastasizes to the liver and lungs. Perhaps the skin lesions of bones, brain. When visceral metastases prognosis can be extremely unfavorable, life expectancy could reach an average of six months.

As the prevalence and histological types of melanoma can be divided into three basic forms:

1. Melanoma propagating surface; most common is this form. With the same frequency can develop on the background of existing nevi, and clean areas of the skin. It is a differently colored plaque rough contour with a long period of growth changes. After about 4-5 years begins a rapid degeneration - the transition to the horizontal to the vertical growth form. So begins the growth in the deeper layers of the skin, and it is an extremely negative impact on the prognosis of the disease. In most cases, localized on the legs of women, men on the back.
2. 10-30% of all melanomas of nodular melanoma. It is considered the most aggressive, can change in a shorter period of time. It occurs most often in the same skin. It looks like a papule or nodule dark. Ill say rapid growth - for several months sizes are doubled. On papule may appear ulcer, it bleeds. The forecast is considered to be extremely unfavorable.
3. 10-13% of cases of melanoma - a tumor, which is called lentigo-melanoma. It arises as a rule, quite elderly - in the seventh decade of life. It appears on exposed skin in the form of spots of dark brown color, diameter 2-4 mm. Characteristic for them is a long-term phase of horizontal growth, rather than due to a favorable prognosis.

In addition, you should know that in addition to the surface of the skin melanoma is able to occur in the choroid under the nail plate, in the mucous membranes (nasal cavity, conjunctiva, the mucous rectum, vagina), on the scalp. Such localization, however, is very rare.

Diagnosis of the disease

Despite the availability of melanoma for inspection, the correct diagnosis can be difficult. Sometimes it is impossible to distinguish melanoma from nevus pigment, and attention to the conversation with the patient may be important for correct diagnosis.

If there is suspicion of melanoma, it should be required to carry out a morphological study. A definitive diagnosis can be set precisely with it. Cytology performed in the presence of ulceration - from the surface of the tumor take swabs.

If in doubt in the diagnosis of the primary way to set the correct picture becomes excisional biopsy (it involves complete excision with a departure from the edges of 2-5 mm), whereupon be exposed histological conclusion. If the diagnosis is confirmed, it must be carried out immediately wide excision. A biopsy should be performed under general anesthesia, with the piercing needle zone melanoma is possible that tumor cells spread into the surrounding tissue.

To estimate the prevalence of tumor process, if melanoma is already installed, you must perform ultrasound to regional lymph nodes of the chest X-ray, ultrasound of the abdomen.

Symptoms of melanoma

An experienced doctor is able to well understand the pathological cells and tumors on the skin surface, but the man in the street pigmentary changes for the most part seem ordinary mole. In order not to miss the appearance of melanoma, it is necessary to know some of the symptoms that are characteristic features of this disease.

Among the first symptoms and signs of melanoma include:

• changes in tumor size from - slow growth.
• tumor may become a convex shape.
• color changes appear differently colored areas.
• changing contours appear jagged, irregular edges.
• the asymmetry.
• bleeding, crusting.
• itching, changes in the sensitivity of the tumor.

The most common complaints of patients the appearance of pigmented lesions or an increase in the size of existing, itching and burning in the area of ​​the tumor, bleeding occurs.

In melanoma symptoms can be both basic and more. Additional features include the possible absence of the figure of the skin, loss of hair on this spot, peeling of the skin, the appearance of the seals on the surface of the tumor. May increase coming to a tumor lymph nodes.

Preventing melanoma

To prevent the appearance of melanoma, should limit exposure to the sun. If a person is at risk, you should use sunscreen, whose protection factor of at least 15, wearing light clothing, covered, be sure to wear a hat.

Some of the types of melanoma have a family history, so if their relatives had ever been diagnosed with melanoma, it is necessary to regularly undergo examination by a dermatologist.

How to treat melanoma

Melanoma of the skin is mainly treated using surgical methods. This provision applies to the primary tumor, and in relation to metastasis to the lymph nodes regional. Other treatments, which include radiation therapy, chemotherapy, immunotherapy can not be considered an alternative for surgery. But these methods may find application in the case of neoplastic process, with the appearance of distant metastases.

Melanoma Treatment - Stage 1-2

Treatment of melanoma by surgery should be performed under general anesthesia in a specialized cancer ward. Early detection of melanoma and its timely excision - the basis for successful treatment, which may result in complete freedom from the dangerous disease. Radical intervention is understood as excision with grasping the surrounding skin, subcutaneous fat beneath it, fascia or aponeurosis. The smallest offset from the edge of the tumor at the same time can be 1 cm.

After excision of melanoma is not always possible to eliminate the defect, simply reducing injuries at the edge. May be made different types of plastic substitution - such as plastic, using a free skin graft, local tissue, it is possible to transplant grafts axial type of blood supply.

Treatment of melanoma: the third stage

After excision of melanoma disease often continues to progress. Most often it manifests itself metastatic regional lymph nodes, patients may find yourself or it becomes clear during an ultrasound. Lymph collectors are mostly located in the armpits, groin. To confirm the diagnosis, for enlarged lymph nodes perform fine-needle biopsy.

If melanoma cells are found, it removes the entire lymphatic system in this area, en bloc with the surrounding fiber. Operation refers to the traumatic, postoperative, it is often accompanied by lymphorrhea, ie the expiry of the lymph. In the cavity of the wound must be installed drainage - a hollow tube made of rubber, which will facilitate the outflow of lymph from the wound cavity.

In the postoperative period may conduct additional treatments - chemotherapy and radiation therapy.

Treatment of melanoma fourth step

Despite the poor prognosis for these patients may be treated with the aim of prolonging life, which use a variety of modern methods.

As the indications for surgery are:

• removal of a single metastasis, if no other lesions, and the patient's general condition is good;
• elimination of symptoms that significantly reduce quality of life or life-threatening.
• tumor mass reduction to increase sensitivity to chemotherapy.

Chemotherapy Melanoma

Treatment of melanoma with the help of chemotherapy used in the presence of distant metastases in patients. To achieve the stabilization process using modern chemotherapy regimens possible only twenty percent of the cases, that is, the efficiency is quite low due to the low sensitivity of melanoma to the drugs.

In the case of neoplastic process may use radiation therapy. It is used mainly in the presence of brain metastases or localized bone diseases. The effectiveness of this method is inferior to surgery, so the indications for this method of treatment are limited.

Birth control pills hormonal types are divided into two groups:

• Combined oral contraceptives (COCs)
• Non-combination oral contraceptives (mini-pill).

The first part consists of progestin and ethinyl estradiol - artificially synthesized hormones. They inhibit ovulation and change the structure of the interior mucous membrane of the uterus. This makes it impossible to embryo implantation, even if the egg is fertilized. Additionally, COC affect mucus concentration in the cervical canal, which hinders the penetration of sperm into the uterus. HEC provides multi-protection against unwanted pregnancy. In modern conditions is the most reliable and preferred method of contraception.

Non-combination oral contraceptives have in its composition only progestogens. In a woman's body they have no effect, so the recommended during lactation.

Intense itching is scabies and drug allergy

For diseases that are accompanied by severe itching, is primarily scabies. It is an ectoparasite, itch mite, which is implanted in the female horny layers lay their eggs. Hatch into larvae gather around the hair follicles, causing irritation. Skin rashes often appear in the form of burrows on the hands, elbows, wrists, feet. The vesicles without inflammations are marked next to the moves. Itching is amplified in the evening and night, especially in the supine position. Scabies is spread by direct contact with an infected. The disease is treated with sulfur preparations, benzyl benzoate, ointments containing tar and others.

Drug allergy causes rash and itching all over the body. The disease can occur immediately after injection (usually like urticaria), and in a few hours (or manifestations koreobraznye maculo-papular rash) when using drugs or penicillin sulfanilamide. Acne-like rash may occur after the application of bromide, iodide, hydantoins. The reaction of the organism to fenoftalein, tetracyclines, sulfonamides may appear clear purple geometrically regular eruptions that appear each time after taking the drug at the same places.

If there is a gold drugs, thiazide, and the application of antimalarials can be formed papules, which then merge into a spot with pruritus and desquamation. Treating drug allergies is assigned to the individual physician, preventive maintenance can be directed to clean the gastrointestinal tract, the normalization of the organism as a whole.

Discomfort pursue someone who suffers from eczema. For example, a variant nummulyarny accompanied by eruptions in the form of coins, which are covered by a crust, and then strongly itch. The etiology of the disease has not yet been identified, but the appearance of the disease is often associated with increased dryness of the skin, which is manifested in adulthood.

Through it passes almost every child

Inflammation and itching of the skin virtually every child arising from household allergies. Very often cheeks "bloom" in the first six months of life, when the body grudnichka "acquainted" with different materials and develops new protective reaction to what he does not like.

It is believed that babies are breastfed, allergic reactions are less common (if the mother does not abuse chocolate, oranges, etc.) Than the "bottle-". And it's not so much that the mixture may be of poor quality, but in the fact that the child with artificial feeding often eats more than he needed. This causes a lack of enzymes to digest therefore delay food in the intestine, its decomposition and absorption of harmful substances in the blood, which give an allergic reaction.

Why you should not overfeed Allergy?

Therefore, allergic rashes occur more often in well-fed than the thin, undernourished children and adults. Treatment of household allergies is in compliance with the food regime exclude wholly or partly of allergenic products (food and household chemicals), maintenance of temperature (the temperature of the indoor air from allergies should not be higher than 20 ° C) and measures personal and domestic hygiene.

Finding a person in an airtight, dirty clothes in hot weather can cause such a thing as sudamen (common in infants). In this case, in the neck, shoulders, back, may appear small red spots bubbly plan with clear content that are slightly itchy, with no temperature or some other painful symptoms. Sudamen itself is not dangerous, but the inflamed skin allow for penetration into the organism of various microbes. Therefore, in the heat need to take timely water treatment, use compresses soda (in a glass of boiled water a teaspoon of baking soda) to reduce itching. For antiseptic treatment of prickly heat elements suitable weak (slightly pink) solution of potassium permanganate.

Itchy insect bites

Very much itching and insect bites, followed by one or another kind of rash. This is due to the fact that during the bite, e.g. mosquito injecting small doses of liquid occurs which does not allow blood to clot during a "lunch" insect. This substance contains protein, which is a strong allergen for humans, so there is redness and itching. Application of ointments after infrequent bites are not always justified, so you can use traditional medicine.

The easiest way - is to smear the affected areas of dairy products, tea tree oil or fish oil. Well proven and the solution of baking soda (1 teaspoon per cup of water applied as a compress) and ammonia solution (1 tablespoon to 3 tablespoons of water, apply swab).

Itching and redness spread by the bite of bees combined with a pale face, cramps, pressure drop, loss of consciousness is a sign of anaphylactic shock. In this case, you should immediately call an ambulance because Shock may develop in the swelling of the mucous membranes of the body and lead to serious consequences.

The minimum set of actions in this case consists of the following steps: remove the stinger so as not to damage the capsule of poison (preferably with tweezers), wash the bite with running water, wet and lubricate hydrocortisone ointment or hydrogen peroxide. Damage to the site must be applied cold to bee venom slowed its spread, to give the patient an antihistamine.

Chicken pox, measles and scarlet fever

Almost everyone in my childhood had been ill with chicken pox. This disease is accompanied by fever, headache, and sometimes vomiting and diarrhea. There is the appearance of red bumps that one day turn into small blisters. This parent is a big problem that there is no scratching rashes (not to carry infection) and prevent contact with water.

Chickenpox is transmitted quite easily, so children need to be isolated from each other as well as to limit the contacts of adults without a history of previous disease. Chickenpox lasts for 2-3 weeks, during this period of normal temperature, bubbles dry out and crumble. Below them are pink spots, which will go completely for a couple of months. If rash varicella comb, it is possible to bring streptococci, causing festering, the need for antibiotics, as well as scar after healing. Repeated illness from this disease is rarely observed.

Other "baby" disease - measles, also provides consistent rashes following lines: the first day of spots appear on the face and neck, the second - on the torso and arms, in the third - on the feet. At this time, the temperature rises (to 40 ° C) for buccal mucosa whitish marked points are increased lymph nodes. The patient is prescribed mainly fever and create favorable conditions for healing in terms of the regime. The rash may itch in the course of the disease, and during the resolution of rash, when it shelled, and the skin under it brightens.

When scarlet fever itchy rash appears simultaneously with the end of the first day of illness. Skin reactions thus represented by small dots, which are located at the joints of limbs, lower abdomen, and inner thighs. Clearly visible white triangle in the nasolabial area (where the rash is not marked). Red spots can hold up to one week, after which the skin sshelushivaetsya "plates." Patients received antibiotic therapy and bed rest.

Rashes and itching in erysipelas, herpes

When erysipelas desire to scratch the affected area occurs in the early stages of occurrence of bright red erythema, accompanied by fever and signs of intoxication. The skin in the lesion painful, tense, hot, lymph nodes are enlarged. Erysipelas is a serious infectious disease that occurs after penetration into the skin injured streptococcus. It is treated with antibiotics, UFO, UHF (local effects), weak electric current discharges. In severe cases, antibiotics are prescribed long-acting, which prevent streptococcus multiply.

Severe itching with rash Puzyreva and bubbly nature accompany such diseases as herpes zoster. It is caused by a virus the herpes group (but not the one that causes cold sores on the lips). The illness can occur in people who have had chickenpox, but the virus was not completely deactivated. He can declare itself through the decades as a rash mainly in the area of ​​exit of nerve endings. The disease runs independently in 2-4 weeks, although individuals painful condition can last for years. In this case, it may be used, famciclovir, acyclovir (antiviral agents), analgesics and corticosteroids (for removal of itching). The reason why the virus moves from the rest to the active phase, has not yet been studied.

Still not fully understood and the cause of another type of lichen, accompanied by itching - is lichen planus. One of the doctors said that he has a viral nature, others believe that it may occur in the nervous system to the general weakening of the body. Flat red spots appear most often on the elbow, legs, lower back, hips, abdomen and underarms.

They have a diameter of 1 cm or more and a rough surface. Treatment of the disease is carried out by treating the outer surfaces of itching (70% alcohol plus 1% hydrochloride plus subsequent processing glyukoortikoidnymi ointments), the appointment of radon and hydrogen sulfide baths. When neurotic reactions produce drugs valerian, bromine, certain B vitamins If expressed infectious foci, they sanitize antibiotics (macrolides, tetracycline) for 1-2 weeks.

Boils itch at the initial stage

When itching of the skin abrasions appear before the surface "come out" furunkuleznye unit, the period of the disease is about 3 days. This disease is mainly caused by Staphylococcus aureus, can develop anywhere on the skin, but the most dangerous are boils on the face (especially in children). After a few days of maturation, during which the patient may be increased temperature, it is transformed into an abscess furuncle, from which emerges at the opening of necrotic tissue nature.

Furunkuleznye pockets can not squeeze yourself, it makes only an experienced surgeon, in order to avoid the further spread of infection. Additional means of treatment is the use of ointments Vishnevsky, injections of antibiotics, diet, hygienic procedures. If many boils, it is not recommended to wash, and healthy skin treatment should be carried out with a solution furatsilina.

Hives can cause even a cold shower

Get on the skin rash and itching, you can simply take a hot shower or doing physical exercises. This reaction gives cholinergic urticaria, which manifests itself in the form of punctate rash with severe itching. Cold urticaria in people who are sensitive to cold water causes cold stream. The disease can also be obtained at a sensitivity to vibration, pressure, a particular type of light (sunlight, UV, etc.). Treatment in this case consists primarily in eliminating the stimulus.

In some cases, itchy hives can be very "small evil" because some of its forms (angioedema), which manifest themselves in the form of a giant swelling the size of a hen's egg, can be fatal. Especially dangerous is the manifestation angioedema in the larynx, as this can lead to suffocation.

Blame fungi and nerves

Eruptions on the skin, accompanied by itching can be signs of candidiasis. In this case, under the breasts, in the gluteal fold, groin, between the fingers and toes appear often itchy exudative patches, bordered by small pustules. The disease, known among the population as thrush, caused by a fungus that is present in every human body, but often because of a weakened immune system begins to multiply too much. Treatment consists of the outer treated sheets 5-10% solution of sodium tetrakarbonata, ingestion natatsimina, fluconazole, miconazole, and others.

Of course, you need to remember people's wisdom: all diseases of the nerves. And in this case, neurodermatitis just a confirmation of these words. The disease is a chronic skin disease in which the skin is constantly present dry, itchy, scaly plaques with thickened portions. Illness provoked psychogenic factor and is more common in women aged 20 to 50, American Indians and Asians. Basic techniques for the treatment consist in the psycho-correction. Most often combed his head, ankles and hands. When Sanchez nervous tension increases, it can become a habit and give unconscious action to eliminate itching.

It should be noted that there are serious diseases with rashes, which, however, are not accompanied by a pronounced itching. These include pemphigus, syphilis, lupus, infectious erythema (with her first signs of the disease often resemble the flu, itchy only in the nose, and a rash does not always appear in adults), and others. Therefore, when expressed long-term problems of the skin and itching is better to address to a specialist for advice.

The modern pace of life often leaves a person to think about their health: the daily tasks and duties in his eyes go in the first place, and in an effort to solve these problems which seem to him the priority, a person puts ideas about health on the back burner. For example, because of the emergency planning meetings office employee can have a snack hamburger containing daily calories, or even to give up lunch, and a young mother, has no time to cook dinner and take the child from the kindergarten, once again carries a scheduled run in The park, which promises to himself for the past few weeks.

Metabolic syndrome: factors shaping

Each of us can easily remember many such examples where urgent business forced him to give up action to maintain or improve their health. It is particularly easy when you consider that the rejection of harmful products or exercise will not bring instant benefits as soon as a person for the first time replaced the portion of potato, deep-fried on vegetable salad, and an evening spent in a smoky bar - on access to the gym.

Therefore, most of us think that once the rejection of actions aimed at maintaining a healthy lifestyle, can not be decisive with regard to their health. But in reality, this behavior can cause a number of serious diseases, including metabolic syndrome (MS).

Any expert would agree that measures aimed at maintaining and improving their health, have a pronounced cumulative effect: as a healthy diet and exercise are part of the habit, their impact on the health and appearance of a person becoming more prominent. In addition, we can not lose sight of the fact that in respect of such action has been gradually formed a kind of habit, which eventually causes a person to opt for a healthy lifestyle automatically. Therefore, it is no longer faced with the agonizing choice between daily hamburger and baked chicken breast, and makes this choice without hesitation.

However, the absence of such a habit has a similar effect. As well as actions aimed at improving and maintaining the health and well-being, the habit of poor eating habits and a passive lifestyle has a cumulative effect. In other words, the negative consequences of such a lifestyle accumulate over time have become increasingly prominent. Sooner or later, the effect of their influence becomes evident not only others, but also the man himself, who had been trying to turn a blind eye to some deterioration in his state of health, rapid fatigue after physical exertion, exposure to infectious diseases and other problems.

In such a situation it is essential to notice the negative manifestations, rather than waiting until the moment when their removal will be the extremely difficult. The fact that some of the symptoms are dangerous not so much in itself, as the consequences to which they may cause. However, until these consequences actually happen, it is too late to begin to fight for their health.

Possible negative effects of MS if untreated

One example of this situation is the so-called metabolic syndrome, which in recent years has received wide distribution in the world. In particular, the breadth of its distribution is characteristic for developed countries, a way of life which is often characterized by excessive calorie intake and insufficient physical activity. Taken together, these and other negative factors can lead to such diseases as metabolic syndrome.

By itself, the syndrome is not a disease but a complex of disorders of normal functioning of the human body, which together can lead to quite serious problems.

Among the most common adverse effects metabolic syndrome has cardiovascular disease, including some of the most dangerous - myocardial infarction, stroke and progression of diabetes.

In addition, depending on the individual, metabolic syndrome can trigger the occurrence of fatty liver liver, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), malfunctions of urogenital system in men, gout and other dangerous diseases. Thus, the possible negative effects are quite dangerous, but because it will be useful to understand what the metabolic syndrome and how it can be combated.

The main symptoms of the metabolic syndrome

As already mentioned, the metabolic syndrome is a combination of several types of disturbances that occur in the operation of systems of the human organism. Experts believe that they are based on a violation of the normal mechanism of glucose uptake, which in the professional literature is called insulin resistance.

In practice, this problem manifests itself in the fact that the amount of insulin in the blood is irrelevant to the amount of glucose which is present in it presently.

As a result, insulin, which is one of the most important human hormones involved in virtually all aspects of the metabolism, breaks the normal order of the assimilation of proteins, fats and other substances that have a significant impact on the functioning of the body.

One of the main consequences of this disruption of metabolism is the occurrence of obesity in humans suffering from insulin resistance. At the same time, however, it is necessary to assess the existence of this problem from an objective point of view. In today's world, this concept has become an interpretation far enough away from the medical interpretation of the term: a girl with a normal height and weight tend to say at obesity and make every attempt to get rid of him. Of course, this situation has nothing to do with the present obesity, which is a consequence of the disruption of the normal mechanism of glucose uptake.

Within the framework of current medical practice, there are quite clear and objective criteria for the identification of obesity, which can be regarded as a component of the metabolic syndrome. In particular, experts have developed a special component, called the body mass index, which is used to determine the boundaries of the rules and excess weight for each person individually, taking into account its growth.

At the same time the specified index in the calculation is quite simple, so everyone can set their own presence at the risk of developing metabolic syndrome.
Back to contents

Metabolic syndrome: diagnosis risk

Body mass index is defined by the following formula: BMI = weight / height squared. Thus, in order to calculate their own body mass index, it is necessary to know the exact value of its weight and size. For the calculations in the formula should use the weight in kilograms and height - in meters. For example, the calculation of body mass index for women weighing 70 kg, height is 160 centimeters, will be as follows: BMI = 70 / (1, 6 * 1, 6) = 27, 34.

To see whether the result is dangerous from the point of view of the possibility of having the metabolic syndrome, it is necessary to know how to interpret the results of the calculations. Now experts are the following interpretation of the boundaries of body mass index:

• BMI less than 18, 5 - underweight. From the point of view of the possibility of developing metabolic syndrome, a group of people with a body mass index is characterized by minimal risk, but it should be borne in mind that the lack of BMI can be a factor in the development of other diseases. Therefore, experts recommend to consult a doctor for the possibility of achieving a healthy weight;
• BMI within the range 18 5 to 24 9 - normal weight. The boundaries of body mass index are optimal in terms of human resistance to various diseases, including metabolic syndrome;
• BMI ranging from 25 to 29 0, 9 - overweight. In this case, the experts usually ascertain the presence of increased risk for a variety of diseases, which include and metabolic syndrome (MS);
• BMI ranging from 30 to 34 0, 9 - I degree obesity. Obesity - a serious risk factor for consideration syndrome, which increases as the further growth of body weight;
• BMI ranging from 35 to 39 0, 9 - obesity II degree, which is a major threat to health in terms of developing MS compared to lower values ​​of BMI;
• BMI over 40, 0 - obesity III degree, the maximum risk of developing MS.

Thus, the statement of the body mass index greater than 25, 0 is a possible risk factor of metabolic syndrome. Furthermore, it should be borne in mind that even with the same high BMI tendency to rise MS will vary among people suffering from various types of obesity. So, the greatest risk of developing MS is available for those people which are characterized by the so-called abdominal type of obesity when body fat concentrated around the waist.

The views of experts in relation to the absolute values ​​of waist circumference, which represent a danger diverge. However, much of it recommends starting to take action, if the waist exceeds 94 centimeters men, women - 80 centimeters. In turn, the situation in which fat deposits are concentrated in the pelvic region, is less dangerous in terms of the development of MS.

Metabolic syndrome: Additional signs

Furthermore, specialists identify a number of additional symptoms, the presence of which can be used to diagnose the disease. Thus, the presence of several of them can clearly indicate the formation of a metabolic syndrome. In particular, these include:

• high blood pressure, which in professional language is called hypertension. The threshold values ​​of hazardous experts call the pressure of 135/80 and recommend to pay him more attention in case of exceeding these values;
• violation of the human characteristics of lipid metabolism. These disorders can have a different expression. Thus, dangerous symptoms include elevated triglycerides to a value above 1, 7 mmol / l, increasing the level of low density lipoprotein to 3, 0 mmol / L or more, lowering of HDL to 1, 0 mmol / L for men and 1 2 mmol / l for women;
• elevated blood glucose levels. Experts recommend to pay attention to it if the value measured on an empty stomach, is greater than 5, 6 mmol / l;
• malabsorption of glucose, which is characterized by elevated (7, 8-11, 1 mmol / l), its content in the blood plasma after two hours after taking.

Experts note that the presence of a person at least three of these features, one of which is overweight, can serve as a criterion for the establishment of the metabolic syndrome. However, if the relevant symptoms are identified, should seek medical attention, if needed, prescribe additional tests, and then produce a final diagnosis.

Metabolic syndrome: self-medication

If the physician still put such a diagnosis, do not despair. First, much of the work on the prevention and elimination of negative consequences of such a diagnosis can be done by yourself. The first treatment of metabolic syndrome involves changing the habitual diet, since he is often the reason for the formation of obesity and other unpleasant symptoms.

In doing so, the recommendation to change the food that give the experts are quite simple, and generally recommended for all who seek to lead a healthy lifestyle. In particular, we are talking about eating plenty of vegetables and fruits, excluding beverages and foods with high sugar content, a significant reduction of fat intake with simultaneous replacement of most of the animal fat for vegetable.

The second area of ​​work to eliminate the consequences of the metabolic syndrome is a change of lifestyle. In particular, we are talking about is to make it possible more active. At the same time this can be achieved not only by incorporating into their daily lives of regular classes in the sports center or swimming pool, but also by increasing their daily activity. For example, experts say that with the help of relatively simple steps, you can easily increase your daily energy consumption of 100-500 calories, which after some time will necessarily lead to weight loss.

For example, it is possible to park your car is not in the vicinity of the office, and a couple of blocks away from him, up to his home on the fifth floor of the elevator, and walk, do not send a courier to carry mail to the nearby business center and do it yourself .

At the same time, trying to treat this complex disorders, it should be borne in mind that if the dietary recommendations can be incorporated into your daily life right from tomorrow, then physical activity should adhere to the principle of gradualism. This applies especially to employment, involving considerable physical stress, such as exercise in the gym, cycling, jumping rope, and similar loads.

However, all these measures are unlikely to produce results immediately: require quite considerable amount of time to make a change in diet and the gradual increase of physical activity resulted in weight loss, improve metabolism, and disappearance of the symptoms of metabolic syndrome. Circumstances may also be developed so that a person needs to achieve a faster and more effective results.

Drug treatment of metabolic syndrome

If the situation requires a radical and urgent intervention, experts recommend to resort to medical treatment of symptoms of metabolic syndrome. It is imperative in this case to remember that medical treatment should be effected only under the constant supervision of a doctor, as soon as he is able to track the dynamics of the effects of certain drugs and, if necessary, adjust the treatment time.

Otherwise, the results can not only improve, but worsen the situation.

In general, drug treatment in MS is usually aimed at eliminating some of its symptoms: obesity, malabsorption of glucose, lipid disorders, high blood pressure and others. Depending on what kind of symptoms are available for a particular patient, a physician will be able to pick up certain drugs to eliminate its problems.

Further, referring to the doctor, it should be remembered that the efficiency and duration of treatment will be highly dependent on how long the patient is suffering from symptoms of the metabolic syndrome.

So, if they had appeared relatively recently, a specialist will be easier to deal with them by choosing the appropriate medicine.

The symptoms of gynecological diseases

All gynecological diseases are divided into 3 groups due to provoke this or that disease. The first group includes diseases associated with the development of infection in women. The second group includes pathology of the endocrine system and hormonal background of the female organism. The third group includes the development of hyperplastic diseases or degenerative changes of cancer.

There are symptoms that occur in any disease in each group.

The symptoms of gynecological diseases - is the specific features present only in diseases of the sexual sphere. These include:

• Beli - abnormal discharge whitish, as a rule, their number depends on the activity of the process.
• bleeding occurring outside menstruation, and they can occur in the middle of the menstrual cycle, as before or after it.

The causes and symptoms of gynecological diseases according to the three groups

The first group of diseases caused by various infections, usually diagnosed as a result of the following reasons:

• STIs - sexually transmitted infections by. Notable among them is given for gonorrhea, trichomoniasis, candidiasis, or thrush, chlamydia;
• viral disease that can cause genital herpes virus, HIV, cytomegalovirus, or human papillomavirus;
• suppurative diseases of an inflammatory nature. There allocate common diseases: obesity, endometritis, adnexitis, cervicitis, pelvitoperitonity, vulvity and other diseases.

Among the causes of the disease in this group, allocate specific microorganisms that cause sexually transmitted infections, and non-specific, which include all other diseases. Diseases such as a sexually transmitted and appear as a result of separation by the blood from other organs and systems.

The symptoms of gynecological diseases in the first group generally represent a complaint for the presence of cables, purulent discharge from the genital tract, pain during intercourse and urination, itching and burning in the genital area, as well as the possible presence of erosions and ulcers in the female genital organs.

Inflammatory processes contribute to the development of any infection, disease, abortion, childbirth, hypothermia, surgical manipulation and diagnostic nature (scraping of the uterus, uterine sounding, hysteroscopy, gidrotubatsii, hysterosalpingography, etc.), Failure to comply with personal hygiene, excessive use of antibiotics. The spread of infection may also contribute to the presence of an intrauterine device (IUD).

When it is used the risk of inflammation is increased 4-5 times. In the same property, the spread of infection, and incorrect application has intravaginal tampons.

The second group of gynecological diseases, resulting from various disorders hormonal or endocrine system

And not necessarily that these processes were malignant. They also include and cysts in the ovaries, and uterine cancer, and cervical changes, such as pseudo, erosion and ulcerative changes. Among the signs of disease in the third group of women often experience pain during intercourse, or bleeding from the genital tract after intimacy, bleeding not related to menstrual periods.

However, in spite of the specific symptoms of gynecological diseases, there are those who for a long time or did not show themselves, or symptoms are so nonspecific that long period of time a woman can not be treated by gynecologic diseases.
Treatment of gynecological diseases - a complicated matter and responsible. In no case is not recommended to self-medicate, as this can lead to unpredictable results, and only complicate the situation.

As a result, the illiterate treatment may develop endometriosis, infertility or cancer.
