HOMOEOPATHIC REMEDIES FOR ANGINA PECTORIS:

ANGINA PECTORIS:

- Angina is a term used for chest pain caused by reduced blood flow to the heart muscle.

- Angina  is a symptom of coronary artery disease.

- Angina is typically described as squeezing, pressure, heaviness, tightness or pain in your chest.

- Angina, also called angina pectoris, can be a recurring problem or a sudden, acute health concern.

- Angina is relatively common but can be hard to distinguish from other types of chest pain, such as the pain or discomfort of indigestion. If you have unexplained chest pain, seek medical attention right away.

Causes-

- Angina is caused by reduced blood flow to your heart muscle. Your blood carries oxygen, which your heart muscle needs to survive. When your heart muscle isn't getting enough oxygen, it causes a condition called ischemia.

- The most common cause of reduced blood flow to your heart muscle is coronary artery disease (CAD). Your heart (coronary) arteries can become narrowed by deposits called plaques. This is called atherosclerosis.

- This reduced blood flow is a supply problem — your heart is not getting enough oxygen-rich blood. You may wonder why you don't always have angina if your heart arteries are narrowed due to fatty buildup.

- This is because during times of low oxygen demand — when you're resting, for example — your heart muscle may be able to get by on the reduced amount of blood flow without triggering angina symptoms. But when you increase the demand for oxygen, such as when you exercise, this can cause angina.

Types:

Stable angina:

- Stable angina is usually triggered by physical exertion. When you climb stairs, exercise or walk, your heart demands more blood, but it's harder for the muscle to get enough blood when your arteries are narrowed.

- Besides physical activity, other factors, such as emotional stress, cold temperatures, heavy meals and smoking, also can narrow arteries and trigger angina.

Unstable angina:

- If fat-containing deposits (plaques) in a blood vessel rupture and a blood clot forms, it can quickly block or reduce flow through a narrowed artery, suddenly and severely decreasing blood flow to your heart muscle. Unstable angina can also be caused by blood clots that block or partially block your heart's blood vessels.

- Unstable angina worsens and is not relieved by rest or your usual medications. If the blood flow doesn't improve, heart muscle deprived of oxygen dies — a heart attack. 

- Unstable angina is dangerous and requires emergency treatment.

Variant angina:

- Variant angina, also called Prinzmetal's angina, is caused by a spasm in a coronary artery in which the artery temporarily narrows. 

- This narrowing reduces blood flow to your heart, causing chest pain. 

- Variant angina can occur even when you're at rest, and is often severe. It can be relieved with medications

Symptoms:

Symptoms associated with angina include:

- Chest pain or discomfort

- Pain in your arms, neck, jaw, shoulder or back accompanying chest pain

- Nausea

- Fatigue

- Shortness of breath

- Sweating

- Dizziness

Risk factors:

The following risk factors increase your risk of coronary artery disease and angina:

HOMOEOPATHY AND VARICOSE VEIN

HOMOEOPATHIC REMEDIES FOR VARICOSE VEINS:

- Varicose veins, also known as varicoses or varicosities, occur when your veins become enlarged, dilated, and overfilled with blood.

- Varicose veins typically appear swollen and raised, and have a bluish-purple or red color.

- They are often painful.

- The condition is very common, especially in women and policemen.

- In most cases, varicose veins appear on the lower legs.

Causes: 

- Causes of varicose veins can include:

Age:

- As you get older, your veins can lose elasticity, causing them to stretch.

- The valves in your veins may become weak, allowing blood that should be moving toward your heart to flow backward.

- Blood pools in your veins and your veins enlarge and become varicose.

- The veins appear blue because they contain deoxygenated blood, which is in the process of being re-circulated through the lungs.

Pregnancy:

- Some pregnant women develop varicose veins.

- Pregnancy increases the volume of blood in your body, but decreases the flow of blood from your legs to your pelvis.

- This circulatory change is designed to support the growing fetus, but it can produce an unfortunate side effect — enlarged veins in your legs.

- Varicose veins may surface for the first time or may worsen during late pregnancy, when your uterus exerts greater pressure on the veins in your legs.

- Varicose veins that develop during pregnancy generally improve without medical treatment three to 12 months after delivery.

Symptoms:

- Varicose veins may not cause any pain.

Signs:

You may have with varicose veins include:

- Veins that are dark purple or blue in color.

- Veins that appear twisted and bulging; often like cords on your legs.

When painful signs and symptoms occur, they may include:

- An achy or heavy feeling in your legs

- Burning, throbbing, muscle cramping and swelling in your lower legs

- Worsened pain after sitting or standing for a long time

- Itching around one or more of your veins

- Bleeding from varicose veins

- A painful cord in the vein with red discoloration of the skin

- Color changes, hardening of the vein, inflammation of the skin or skin ulcers near your ankle, which can mean you have a serious form of vascular disease that requires medical attention

Risk factors-

Age:

- The risk of varicose veins increases with age.

- Aging causes wear and tear on the valves in your veins that help regulate blood flow.

- Eventually, that wear causes the valves to allow some blood to flow back into your veins where it collects instead of flowing up to your heart.

Sex:

- Women are more likely to develop the condition.

- Hormonal changes during pregnancy, pre-menstruation or menopause may be a factor because female hormones tend to relax vein walls.

- Taking hormone replacement therapy or birth control pills may increase your risk of varicose veins.

Family history:

- If other family members had varicose veins, there's a greater chance you will too.

Obesity:

- Being overweight puts added pressure on your veins.

- Standing or sitting for long periods of time.

- Your blood doesn't flow as well if you're in the same position for long periods

Complications-

Ulcers:

- Extremely painful ulcers may form on the skin near varicose veins, particularly near the ankles.

- Ulcers are caused by long-term fluid buildup in these tissues, caused by increased pressure of blood within affected veins.

- A discolored spot on the skin usually begins before an ulcer forms.

Bleeding:

- Occasionally, veins very close to the skin may burst.

- This usually causes only minor bleeding. But, any bleeding warrants medical attention because there's a high risk it can happen again.

Blood clots:

- Occasionally, veins deep within the legs become enlarged.

- In such cases, the affected leg may swell considerably.

- Any sudden leg swelling warrants urgent medical attention because it may indicate a blood clot — a condition known medically as thrombophlebitis.

ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION AND HOMOEOPATHY

Erectile Dysfunction and Homoeopathy:

- Erectile Dysfunction, or impotency as it is commonly known, refers to a man’s inability to obtain or maintain erection of the penis during sexual activity.

- A penile erection is the hydraulic effect of blood entering and being retained in sponge-like bodies within the penis.

- The process is most often initiated as a result of sexual arousal, when signals are transmitted from the brain to nerves in the penis.

- The most important organic causes of impotence are cardiovascular disease and diabetes, neurological problems (for example, trauma from prostatectomy surgery), hormonal insufficiencies (hypogonadism) and drug side effects.

- Obesity, heart disease, smoking, tobacco use, alcohol consumption, diabetes, psychological factors like stress, anxiety and negative feelings, the use of anti-depressants — all these usually contribute a lot to Erectile Dysfunction.

Causes of Erectile Dysfunction:

- In  majority of cases psychological reasons are implicated behind erectile dysfunction.

- Vascular disease involving internal pudendal artery is thought to be one of the reasons for age related impotency.

- A nerve injury or spinal cord injury may result in impotence.

Impotence may be an early symptom of diabetes mellitus, multiple sclerosis, tabes dorsalis etc.

- Medications (antidepressants, such as SSRIs, and nicotine[citation needed] are most common)

- Cavernosal disorders (Peyronie's disease)

- Psychological causes: performance anxiety, stress, and mental disorders

- Surgery

- Aging. It is four times more common in men aged in their 60s than those in their 40s.

- Kidney failure

- Diseases such as diabetes mellitus and multiple sclerosis (MS). While these two causes have not been proven they are likely suspects as they cause issues with both the blood flow and nervous systems.

- Lifestyle: smoking is a key cause of erectile dysfunction. Smoking causes impotence because it promotes arterial narrowing.

Symptoms of Erectile Dysfunction:

- Inability to get an erection is usually the only complaint.

In cases of penile dysfunction, premature ejaculation and spermatorrhoea may be found.

- Depression often accompanies impotence. Severe depression can lead to impotence and impotence can lead to depression. 

- It works both ways.

Diagnosis:

- There are no formal tests to diagnose erectile dysfunction. Some blood tests are generally done to exclude underlying disease, such as hypogonadism and prolactinoma.

- Impotence is also related to generally poor physical health, poor dietary habits, obesity, and most specifically cardiovascular disease such as coronary artery disease and peripheral vascular disease. 

- Therefore, a thorough physical examination is helpful, in particular the simple search for a previously undetected groin hernia since it can affect sexual functions in men and is easily curable.

Duplex ultrasound

- Duplex ultrasound is used to evaluate blood flow, venous leak, signs of atherosclerosis, and scarring or calcification of erectile tissue. 

- Injecting prostaglandin, a hormone-like stimulator produced in the body, induces the erection. Ultrasound is then used to see vascular dilation and measure penile blood pressure.

Penile nerves function

- Tests such as the bulbocavernosus reflex test are used to determine if there is sufficient nerve sensation in the penis.

- The physician squeezes the glans (head) of the penis, which immediately causes the anus to contract if nerve function is normal. 

- A physician measures the latency between squeeze and contraction by observing the anal sphincter or by feeling it with a gloved finger inserted past the anus.

Nocturnal penile tumescence (NPT)

- It is normal for a man to have five to six erections during sleep, especially during rapid eye movement (REM). Their absence may indicate a problem with nerve function or blood supply in the penis. 

- There are two methods for measuring changes in penile rigidity and circumference during nocturnal erection: snap gauge and strain gauge. 

- A significant proportion of men who have no sexual dysfunction nonetheless do not have regular nocturnal erections.

Penile biothesiometry

- This test uses electromagnetic vibration to evaluate sensitivity and nerve function in the glans and shaft of the penis.

Dynamic infusion cavernosometry (DICC)

- Technique in which fluid is pumped into the penis at a known rate and pressure. It gives a measurement of the vascular pressure in the corpus cavernosum during an erection.

Corpus cavernosometry

- Cavernosography measurement of the vascular pressure in the corpus cavernosum. 

- Saline is infused under pressure into the corpus cavernosum with a butterfly needle, and the flow rate needed to maintain an erection indicates the degree of venous leakage. 

- The leaking veins responsible may be visualized by infusing a mixture of saline and x-ray contrast medium and performing a cavernosogram. 

- In Digital Subtraction Angiography (DSA), the images are acquired digitally.

Magnetic resonance angiography (MRA)

- This is similar to magnetic resonance imaging. Magnetic resonance angiography uses magnetic fields and radio waves to provide detailed images of the blood vessels. Doctors may inject a "contrast agent" into the patient's bloodstream that causes vascular tissues to stand out against other tissues. 

- The contrast agent provides for enhanced information regarding blood supply and vascular anomalies.
