What is the medical treatment for the after-effects of childbirth?4 answersThe medical treatments for the after-effects of childbirth encompass a variety of traditional and modern approaches. One method involves the use of a decoction made from black soybeans, urine of boys under twelve, yellow rice or millet wine, Chinese angelica, and olibanum, taken three times a day for postpartum complications. Another treatment involves a formula containing various traditional Chinese medicines like leonurus, ginseng, and liquorice, prepared into pills with honey and rice wine, effectively addressing postpartum diseases and related symptoms. Additionally, medical equipment like a medical treatment childbirth bed has been designed to enhance postpartum care efficiency, featuring waste collection mechanisms and adjustable components for patient comfort. These diverse approaches aim to alleviate postpartum complications and promote recovery after childbirth.
What are the pharmacological interventions to treat post natal depression?4 answersPharmacological interventions for postnatal depression (PND) include selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) such as sertraline, escitalopram/citalopram, and fluoxetine. Other antidepressants supported by clinical data include venlafaxine, desvenlafaxine, nortriptyline, and bupropion. Brexanolone, zuranolone, and ganaxolone are new drugs being studied for PND, with brexanolone being FDA-approved. Sertraline is considered the first choice among antidepressants for breastfeeding mothers. Quetiapine and valproate are recommended normotimics for PND treatment. Synthetic neuroactive steroids and their analogs, such as brexanolone, SAGE-217, and ganaxolone, have shown promise in reducing depressive symptoms. Psychological interventions like interpersonal psychotherapy and cognitive behavioral therapy are also effective for PND. Complementary and alternative medicine interventions are increasingly preferred by perinatal women. Collaborative care and the maternal-child health-care system are pathways to delivering mental health care for PND. A pharmaceutical composition with a compound effective in treating PND has also been developed.
What are the treatment options for urinary tract infection during postpartum?5 answersAcupuncture has been found to be an effective and safe alternative to catheterization for urinary retention (UR) associated with pregnancy and postpartum. Intended caesarean delivery is significantly associated with a higher risk of postpartum urinary tract infection compared to intended vaginal delivery. Routine catheterization at the time of delivery has been found to contribute to the frequency of postpartum bacteriuria, but antimicrobial therapy has been shown to be effective in preventing bacteriuria. Non-antibiotic therapeutic options for urinary tract infections (UTIs) include antiadhesive treatments (such as cranberries and D-mannose), immunomodulation therapies, vaccines, and prophylaxis with topical estrogen therapy and probiotics. Combination therapies targeting multiple pathogenic mechanisms are expected to be a future trend in UTI management.
