To understand the effect of ozone therapy during pregnancy on the mother's and fetus's body, it is necessary to know what ozone is.
So, ozone (O3) is a gas that is a modification of oxygen consisting of three of its atoms. This unstable gas is present in large quantities in the atmosphere, protecting our planet from harmful ultraviolet radiation. Upon breakdown, ozone forms toxic substances, which is why this gas is classified as extremely dangerous.
Properties of ozone
With its powerful oxidizing properties, ozone has an antibacterial effect,
and also inhibits the growth of viral and fungal infections.
In addition,
ozone increases the oxygen content in the blood,
thereby improving metabolic processes in the body.
Ozone has an anti-inflammatory effect,
and also provides pain relief.
Treatment with ozone therapy during pregnancy: essence of the method
Since the inception of such treatment as ozone therapy,
more than fifty years have passed.
Although the debates among supporters of traditional medicine have not ceased to this day, ozone therapy has gained wide acceptance in many countries and is permitted for use during pregnancy.
To obtain ozone, it is necessary to pass an electric current through oxygen. Specialized devices called "ozonators" have been created for the purpose of generating ozone.
As a rule, ozone therapy during pregnancy involves enriching the drawn venous blood or, as often happens, a physiological saline solution with ozone,
с последующим внутривенным введением полученного состава.
Когда показана озонотерапия при беременности?
Для улучшения общего состояния и самочувствия женщины.
При наличии вирусной или бактериальной инфекции. Будь то обычная простуда или опасная инфекция,
например,
пневмония,
озонотерапия в период беременности помогает бороться с инфекцией,
тем самым снижая риск развития осложнений со стороны плода.
Применение озона стимулирует иммунную систему организма будущей мамы,
что помогает ему противостоять различного рода инфекциям.
При обострении хронических воспалительных процессов,
в том числе,
и заболеваний органов малого таза.
При нарушении кровоснабжения в системе мать-плод.
Озонотерапия способствует насыщению крови кислородом,
в результате чего удается свести на нет проявления внутриутробной гипоксии плода.
При гестозе (преэклампсия) с выраженным клиническим течением.
При этом осложнении нарушается работа сердечно-сосудистой системы: повышается артериальное давление,
that helps it to resist various kinds of infections.
During the exacerbation of chronic inflammatory processes,
including
diseases of the pelvic organs.
In case of impaired blood supply in the mother-fetus system.
Ozone therapy helps to oxygenate the blood,
as a result of which it is possible to nullify the manifestations of intrauterine fetal hypoxia.
In gestosis (preeclampsia) with pronounced clinical course.
In this complication, the cardiovascular system is disrupted: blood pressure increases,
headaches, swelling of the hands and feet,
and disruption of uterine-fetal-placental blood flow occur.
Intravenous administration of ozone-enriched solutions normalizes the functioning of not only the heart,
but also the kidneys and liver.
As a preventive measure for hypoxic disorders in the fetus in the presence of threatening factors (tight umbilical cord entanglement,
premature aging of placental tissue,
abnormalities of the uterine vessels,
partial placental abruption, etc.).
Ozone therapy during pregnancy will help restore normal blood flow in the uterine vessels, ensuring that the fetus receives the necessary amount of oxygen and nutrients.
In case of threatened miscarriage. If there is a threat of miscarriage during pregnancy, the doctor may prescribe a course of ozone therapy, which reduces the risk of spontaneous abortion. Naturally, ozone therapy during pregnancy is not a panacea, but this procedure increases the chances of prolonging the gestation period.
For pain sensations in the lower back, spine, and joints. Ozone has a pain-relieving effect.
As a preventive measure for the risk of weak labor activity development (polyhydramnios,
multiple pregnancy,
large fetus,
three or more previous births, etc.).
Ozone therapy is also successfully used in postpartum women for rehabilitation purposes - as a preventive measure against infectious complications.
There is an opinion that the use of ozone after childbirth improves lactation.
Ozone Therapy during Pregnancy: When and How Much?
The duration and frequency of ozone therapy courses depend on the severity of the condition and are selected individually.
