The change of seasons is hard to bear even by healthy people: headaches intensify, sleep disturbance, general fatigue, lethargy, fatigue appear. Often, the vessels in the fall "make themselves felt" is especially noticeable. Is it possible to avoid the painful adaptation of the body to the change of seasons?
Vessels in autumn: why diseases worsen
In people with chronic vascular diseases, the reaction to changing weather and seasons is more pronounced and can be manifested by changes in vascular pressure, hypertensive crises, bouts of pain or discomfort in the chest.
This is due, first of all, to the fact that with age, the processes of adaptation of the body to changing conditions are disrupted. environment, and this leads to a painful reaction to the change of weather. Nervous system such people are more sensitive to weather phenomena, and in medical practice they are called meteodependent.
- Correct menu. Detailed recommendations you will find under the heading "Food".
- Physical activity appropriate for age and health status.
- Regular use of medicinal herbal preparations. One of the most popular is tea for the heart and blood vessels, the benefits of which can be found by clicking on.
Let's take a closer look at some diseases.
Vascular hypertension in autumn
Autumn is a period of rains, slush, as well as sharp jumps in atmospheric pressure, which negatively affect the state of vascular tone in weather-sensitive people. More than 90% of patients with vascular hypertension are meteorologically dependent and begin to lose control over blood pressure precisely during the period of sharp jumps in atmospheric pressure.
Such patients begin to suffer from headaches, dizziness, pressure is poorly controlled and "jumps" when taking the usual, long-established treatment regimen.
To facilitate the tolerance of meteorological fluctuations, patients with vascular hypertension in autumn period recommended:
- strictly observe the prescribed dosing regimen of drugs that reduce vascular pressure. Avoid gaps between medications;
- avoid mental and physical stress;
- limit the use of salty for the entire autumn period;
- perform a complex of light therapeutic exercises at least 3 times a week for 30 minutes, which will constantly maintain the condition of the vessels in good shape and prepare them for the next working day;
- observe the regime of work and rest;
- it will not be superfluous to brew soothing herbal teas, infusions, taking sedatives at night.
Features of the course of angina pectoris in the fall
Angina pectoris is a severe chronic disease, which is based on a violation of blood flow in the vessels of the heart. Decreased blood flow causes the heart muscle, or myocardium, to become deficient in nutrients, especially oxygen. The malnutrition of the heart muscle is manifested by such symptoms: burning, discomfort, pain in the retrosternal region with physical effort or emotional stress.
The most severe complication of angina pectoris is myocardial infarction - the death of the heart muscle. This complication can lead to excessive loads, temperature changes, stress, overheating or hypothermia.
Often angina pectoris manifests itself during harvest periods, as it is associated with physical effort and overwork.
How to protect yourself from a heart attack in the fall:
- It is necessary to avoid heavy physical exertion and overwork;
- At the first symptoms of angina pectoris, you should stop and rest, in no case should you continue to work or walk;
- With severe pain, you should take a nitroglycerin tablet under the tongue, which should always be with you;
- Avoid hypothermia, sudden changes in temperature (exit from a heated room under a cold wind);
- Observe the sleep and work regime;
- Drink soothing herbs and fees at night (see the link to one of these fees above).
Autumn and violation of vascular tone
Every person has encountered manifestations of impaired vascular tone. These are symptoms such as throbbing headache, flashing flies before the eyes, dizziness, double vision, severe drowsiness, chilliness of the hands or feet. In medical practice, this pathology is called vegetative dystonia, or VVD.
As a rule, the severity of these VVD symptoms is directly related to both weather fluctuations and atmospheric pressure fluctuations. Decrease in quantity sunlight in autumn, it causes a decrease in the body's production of vitamin D and serotonin, which also negatively affects vascular tone.
In order to reduce the severity of symptoms of impaired vascular tone, it is recommended:
- carry out hardening procedures: a contrast shower, rubbing with a wet towel, washing the feet cold water before bedtime;
- take multivitamin preparations in courses 2-3 times a year;
- avoid sleep deprivation, psycho-emotional stress;
- regularly engage in light physical activity, which increases the production of serotonin in the body and trains blood vessels.
- if VVD is not accompanied by low vascular pressure, you can take valerian extract or motherwort tincture. With low vascular pressure, these drugs are contraindicated.
All of these methods are preventive in nature. With a sharp deterioration in well-being, you need to see a specialist.
The statistics are inexorable: it is in autumn that many chronic diseases become aggravated, and cardiovascular diseases share the “palm” among themselves, mental disorders and diseases of the gastrointestinal tract.
As for the latter, they usually cause significant discomfort and require long-term treatment.
Why does the exacerbation occur in the fall?
It should be noted that today, disorders of the digestive system of varying severity are extremely common in general - according to statistics, about half of the adult population in the world suffers from them, and, in particular, up to 95% of residents of large cities. This is due to unfavorable ecology, malnutrition, drinking and smoking, taking many medications (including those not recommended by a doctor!) And, as already mentioned, our constant companion is stress. Thus, those people from the general mass suffering from chronic diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, who are especially susceptible to stress, become a constant target for autumn (and other stress) exacerbations - and these are millions of people!
What diseases are getting worse
- gastritis andpeptic ulcer
How does it manifest
Gastritis is inflammation and irritation of the stomach lining. Manifested by dull or sharp pains and heaviness in the epigastrium, belching, heartburn, nausea. In acute gastritis, there may be constipation or diarrhea, painful bloating. Dangerous because it can develop into a stomach ulcer or duodenum.
Peptic ulcer - the formation of ulcerative foci (ulcers, wounds) on the walls of the mucous membrane of the stomach and / or 12 duodenal ulcer. Manifested by severe pain under the "spoon" after and between meals, nausea and even vomiting after eating, weight loss, general weakness.
What to do?
Since both gastritis and ulcers are serious diagnoses, which may be the result of infection with a bacteriump ( margin-bottom: 0.21cm; ) Helicobacter pylori, it is necessary to urgently consult a doctor, and be sure to take the drugs that he prescribes (antibacterial, reducing the acidity of gastric juice, enveloping, etc.). Doctors also give the necessary nutritional regimen and almost always prescribe sedatives to reduce the neurotic background that “feeds” gastritis and ulcers.
How to warn?
You can go to the "treatment table" in advance - at the onset of the season. This means - to exclude spices, strong broths, smoked meats, coffee, everything sour, canned food, fresh bread, carbonated drinks, that is, all foods that stimulate the secretion of gastric juice. Take food in small portions at regular intervals (every 3 hours), neither hot nor cold. It is possible, as a preventive measure, to take infusions of flax seed, St. John's wort, linden fruits, birch buds, as well as sea buckthorn or pumpkin oil in advance.
Avoid caffeine and alcohol. And smoking (if you are already unable to give up cigarettes) should be as little as possible and in no case on an empty stomach.
- Chronic pancreatitis
How does it manifest
Inflammation of the pancreas causes heaviness in the left hypochondrium, profuse diarrhea, high fever and general weakness. Exacerbations can be associated with both the changing season and endocrine disorders, infections, an abundance of fatty and heavy foods and alcohol. The special insidiousness of inflammation of the pancreas is that, having happened once, it most often goes into chronic form.
What to do
The well-known formula for the treatment of pancreatitis: "cold, hunger and rest." This means that in no case should the stomach be warmed or sit in a warm bath, food intake should be stopped for the first 2 days, and then limited to small portions of lean white meat or fish, lean cottage cheese and cheese.
It is best to try to permanently exclude alcohol, fried, fatty and spicy foods, strong broths, sour juices, smoked foods, spices from their diet - all this will provoke annual exacerbations. The daily routine should be calm, and better - home. It is also necessary to contact a gastroenterologist and take the drugs prescribed by him. In some very serious conditions, the patient is hospitalized.
- Biliary dyskinesia
How does it manifest
This is a disease that develops as a result of incomplete or untimely contraction of the muscles of the gallbladder or sphincters of the biliary tract and leads to a violation of the outflow of bile. The person feels severe pain in the right hypochondrium. From a lack of bile acids during digestion, patients develop flatulence, bloating, nausea, and stool disorders.
What to do
The patient is assigned a special diet (excluding fatty, smoked, fried, spicy, alcohol) work and rest. Treatment concerns not only the normalization of the function of the gallbladder and liver (stimulating drugs motor activity biliary tract), but also the stabilization of the nervous system. Antispasmodics are used to relieve seizures, and to achieve remission - healing herbs and physiotherapy procedures.
You can take care of the prevention of this disease, namely, permanently exclude the above products and alcohol from your diet, reduce caffeine intake.
- Cholecystitis
How does it manifest
This is an inflammatory disease of the gallbladder due to blockage of the bile ducts by stones formed in them, as well as compression and kinks of the bile ducts, in which the microbial flora penetrates into gallbladder. It is manifested by prolonged aching or paroxysmal pain in the abdomen (on the right and “under the spoon”) after eating. Dyspeptic phenomena are not uncommon: a feeling of bitterness in the mouth, belching, nausea, flatulence.
What to do
In cases of extreme exacerbations, patients are hospitalized, in the lungs they are treated on an outpatient basis with antibiotics, antispasmodics and anticholinergics.
Between exacerbations, thermal physiotherapy procedures are prescribed.
From the diet, as well as in other diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, fatty, fried, smoked, spicy and spicy foods, as well as alcohol and coffee, should be excluded. During remission, in order to prevent exacerbations, it is also useful to eat vegetables, fruits and grains: fiber helps to reduce cholesterol in bile. This can also be helped by decoctions of corn stigma, milk thistle and plantain.

Disorders of the gastrointestinal tract associated with a violation of the intestinal microflora
In autumn, disturbances of the normal intestinal microflora are also often aggravated, when instead of “useful” bifidobacteria and lactobacilli that help digest food, pathogenic microorganisms predominate in the intestine. The fact is that the autumn cold provokes frequent colds, and they, in turn, hit the immune system. Violation of the microflora refers to immunodeficiency manifestations. Other diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, as well as helminths, intestinal polyps, and antibiotics can give it additional strength.
How does it manifest
general feeling unwell, constipation or diarrhea, increased gas formation, anemia, nausea in the morning, pale skin.
What to do
Check with your doctor. To normalize the microflora, there are special preparations, such as:
- prebiotics (the so-called milk sugar, which is food for positive bacteria and stimulates the growth of their colonies)
- probiotics (bifidobacteria and lactobacilli, which, when settled in the intestines, compete for habitat with pathogens and suppress their activity, as well as increase immunity)
If a strong pathogen is present in the intestine, such as, for example, Staphylococcus aureus or Haemophilus influenzae coli, these funds will not be enough. In this case, only a doctor can help, who, based on the results of a special analysis “for sowing”, will prescribe a special therapy for intestinal sanitation, and then probiotics.
For many of us, this time of year is a kind of “vulnerability zone”. It's no secret that a variety of chronic diseases "raise their heads" in autumn.
First you need to decide what exactly experts mean by the term "chronic diseases". Chronic diseases are diseases of the internal organs that people suffer from long time. Some of them we are born with, others arise in childhood or in adulthood due to inadequate or delayed treatment acute diseases. Most often, it is impossible to completely get rid of chronic diseases, you can only achieve stable remission - the absence of exacerbations of the disease for a long time (sometimes several years).
So, what is in spring period exacerbate diseases of the stomach and intestines (gastric and duodenal ulcer), heart and blood vessels ( ischemic disease heart, arterial hypertension), skin (chronic eczema and psoriasis), inflammatory diseases of the pelvic organs (chlamydia, thrush), respiratory organs, joints and spine, etc. - a well-known fact. But as for the provocative causes that cause these unpleasant events in the spring, there is no consensus. Let's try to understand some of them, because, as you know: "Forewarned is forearmed!"
"From heat to cold, from cold to heat"
The weather is not the cause of chronic diseases, but often, especially in spring, it is the weather that becomes the determining factor causing their exacerbation. More wise men Ancient China argued that health is a state of harmony of the internal environment of the body with the environment. If the unity of the microcosm (man) and the macrocosm (environment) is broken, a disease occurs. Chinese medicine pays great attention to such factors as light, temperature, humidity, wind speed and direction, as well as their combinations. According to the Chinese, seasonal weather changes (especially the arrival of spring) pose a certain threat to the human body, as they can exacerbate old diseases and complicate the course of acute conditions.
In turn, the great Central Asian scientist-encyclopedist Abu Ali Ibn Sina (Avicenna) in his work "The Canon of Medicine" wrote that each season has its own special laws, each season causes accompanying diseases. It is good for health if the winter is very dry and the spring is very wet: spring balances the dryness of winter. In addition, the great healer of antiquity believed that if any season lasts too long or the weather changes suddenly (“if the weather changes in one day from heat to cold or from cold to heat”), this will certainly affect the state of health, and existing diseases - to multiply.
Not all weather is a blessing
From sharp drops in atmospheric pressure and air temperature, so frequent in the spring, people with arterial hypertension, coronary heart disease and vegetovascular dystonia suffer first of all.
There are also a number of regularities. For example, cloudy weather with low atmospheric pressure, snow and strong winds, typical for the first month of spring, can cause not only an increase in colds, but also provoke an exacerbation of chronic inflammatory diseases of the joints and spine. On the contrary, high atmospheric pressure forms the so-called "spastic type" weather, which is unfavorable for people with unstable blood pressure, with cardiovascular diseases - it is in such weather that the likelihood of heart pain and headaches increases. But uncomfortable wet-windy weather negatively affects the well-being of people with chronic respiratory diseases.
On the Sun and on the Earth
Important factors of negative impact on humans are solar activity (first of all, magnetic storms) and the geomagnetic situation - the influence of the Earth's geomagnetic field associated with tectonic faults, the thickness of the earth's crust, etc. The fact is that there is a certain relationship between the events that occur on the sun and in the Earth's magnetosphere, and changes in the state of human health. Bursts solar activity are primarily associated with peaks of exacerbation of cardiovascular diseases. These are heart attacks, strokes, hypertensive crises, coronary heart disease, cardiac arrhythmias.
In turn, a powerful surge of geomagnetic activity, which is usually observed in early spring, negatively affects the well-being of not only “experienced” patients and “aged” people, but also the health of young healthy people.
Caution: "autumn time"
An exacerbation of chronic diseases is also fraught with the transfer of clock hands. In this case, a mismatch occurs - a phase lag or advance of the rhythms of individual organs and systems from common rhythm the whole organism. The result is a "breakdown" of the body in its weak link, that is, the aggravation of the already existing "chronicle". So, if in the first days after the transition to the “new” time, a worsening of the condition of people suffering from diseases with a paroxysmal course (hypertensive crises, asthmatic attacks, migraine) is likely, then in the next two weeks, the “owners” of diseases with a more protracted course suffer (peptic ulcer stomach and duodenum).
Get into the rhythm!
How to protect yourself from the insidious surprises of changeable weather?
Experts say that at the time of seasonal adjustment, the body is extremely sensitive to adverse effects of any kind, so it needs time to adapt. Therefore, during this crucial period, you should pay as much attention to your body as possible.
Any chronic disease requires observation by an appropriate specialist doctor, so if you have one, be sure to visit your doctor and get advice on exactly how you can avoid a seasonal exacerbation.
On the other hand, do not forget that in the spring the body of even those lucky ones who know about chronic “ailments” is vulnerable only by hearsay.
In order to survive the off-season with the "least loss", doctors and pharmacists recommend the use of herbal preparations, as well as vitamin and mineral complexes.
In addition, you need to observe a rational regime of work and rest, get enough sleep and be in the fresh air as much as possible. And, finally, nutrition should be rational, and physical activity should be regular - this will help your body!
In the autumn period, the body becomes more vulnerable to external factors, the influence of weather changes, and the decrease in daylight hours and the gradual cooling take away strength, as the body needs them to rebuild to a new “mode” of work.
Strike to the heart
In the presence of chronic ailments, in the fall, the cardiovascular system is at particular risk. Since it is in autumn that atmospheric pressure surges are most noticeable, and the weather can change at lightning speed, all “cores” should take care of their health in advance and take the necessary preventive measures.
Hypothermia, colds, fatigue and everyday stress can provoke an exacerbation of any disease of the cardiovascular system, doctors say.
“During the off-season, the most common complaints of patients are general weakness, constant migraines, dizziness, sharp jumps in blood pressure, tachycardia. Often there is shortness of breath, there are pains in the chest.
At the same time, only symptoms are often taken to treat patients, however, when the disease has already “covered”, there is, perhaps, no other way out. But it’s much more effective not to wait until your heart hurts or your head spins, but to take care of your body in advance. Home preventive measure is a full sleep and the correct mode. You need to sleep at least 8-9 hours, be outdoors as often as possible, a balanced diet with an abundance of cereals, vegetables and fruits. It would not be superfluous to take additional multivitamin complexes to strengthen immunity, ”advised doctor Victoria Savitskaya.
At the same time, the expert recommends spending as much time as possible at the computer - of course, a person working in the office will still have to sit at the monitor all day, but everyone can change their habits during their leisure time. For example, when you come home from work, you should not sit on the sofa with the TV remote control, but take a walk in the park with friends or read an exciting book, you can go to the theater or go to visit old friends.
“If the attending physician has prescribed special drugs, it is very important to strictly observe the dosage and the regimen for taking them. In any case, if you feel worse, it will not be superfluous to consult with a specialized specialist and take preventive measures, ”the doctor noted.
Joint protection
Joint damage is considered a problem for the elderly, but at present, doctors assure that the first alarming bells in many Ukrainians can appear as early as 30 years old, and sometimes even earlier.
Arthritis and arthrosis, like a number of other diseases, are very “younger” in the modern world. They are manifested by a feeling of discomfort, heaviness or numbness, and the already existing, “ripened” arthritis provokes quite noticeable aching pains. At the same time, if arthrosis affects only the joints, then arthritis provokes an inflammatory process throughout the body.
“It is impossible to protect yourself from arthritis and arthrosis,” says the doctor, “But you can reduce the risk of these diseases by a proper lifestyle, a moderate and balanced diet and, of course, regular exercise. Well, if, unfortunately, you already suffer from a chronic illness, you need to normalize your weight as soon as possible so as not to create additional stress on the joints - this will help reduce the risk of exacerbation.
All people, without exception, are shown moderate physical activity, and for people with arthritis and arthrosis, they are vital. At the same time, it is worth consulting with a specialist in order to choose the ideal load for yourself, taking into account age, physical form and existing diseases.
“It is important to remember that without movement, our joints become inflexible, “harden,” so to speak, but excessive stress on the joints can lead to exacerbation. At the same time, during an exacerbation of the disease, physical activity should be stopped, ”the doctor warned.
With existing problems or the first warning signs, it is worth reviewing your daily diet as soon as possible. In particular, give up fatty, fried foods, salty snacks and red meat in favor of fruits, vegetables, fish and seafood. For bones and joints, natural gelatin, which contains bones and cartilage, is very useful. Therefore, it is worth eating jelly, natural jelly, and marmalade as often as possible. No less important is drinking regimen. Experts recommend giving up strong black tea, coffee, any cola and sweet soda, and even more so alcoholic beverages in favor of pure non-carbonated mineral water and herbal teas.
Allergy and asthma sufferers should be careful
In the autumn period, respiratory diseases are very easy to “wake up”. It is enough to get under the cold autumn rain, stand at a bus stop under a chilly wind or transfer SARS. Allergens, which can even become dry leaves, can also provoke chronic bronchitis or asthma.
Now the season of asthma exacerbation has come, and therefore everyone who suffers from it is recommended to urgently undergo a course of treatment with drugs that moisturize the mucous membranes of the nose and throat and resist allergens. It will not be superfluous to use drugs to strengthen the immune system, preferably plant-based, for example, echinacea. But before using, be sure to consult your doctor.
“Properly selected clothing for the weather is important in prevention. It should not be blown, it is important to keep the legs warm and wrap, even with a light scarf, the neck and chest. It’s great if the scarf is wide so that in strong winds you can throw it over your head and cover your throat and nose. Try to avoid allergens and eat foods high in vitamins and minerals,” says the doctor.
At the same time, the doctor advises not to get carried away with too warm clothes - at a positive temperature, putting on three sweaters is even more dangerous than not wearing a single one. In clothes that are too warm, the body will sweat at the slightest physical effort, even walking, and then even a small breeze will be enough to catch a cold.
The gastrointestinal tract is also under attack
In autumn we usually move to new mode nutrition, besides cold snaps and temperature fluctuations increase appetite. Well, and also stress, colds, infections - all this has a very negative effect on the pancreas.
An exacerbation of a disease of the gastrointestinal tract or pancreas can be manifested by indigestion, high temperature, sharp pain under the left rib and other symptoms.
“Prevention of exacerbations of pancreatic disease is, first of all, proper nutrition. In the most difficult period, without fail, give up alcohol, fatty, spicy, salty and smoked. Eat healthy, steamed, boiled, and occasionally baked foods. Well, if an exacerbation has occurred, then it is better to starve (up to two days) and take sick leave and at least a day to adhere to bed rest. Enzymes that enhance the work of the pancreas should be taken as maintenance therapy.
In autumn, exacerbations of diseases of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) often occur. It’s all to blame for malnutrition, the transition to more fatty and heavy foods, “office” snacks with heavy and unhealthy foods, constant stress and reduced immunity,” the doctor explains.
Gastritis reminds of itself with a "dull" pain in the stomach, a feeling of heaviness and heartburn, sharp and painful cramps, nausea and bloating.
Prevention of these ailments is quite simple - eat right and follow all the doctor's recommendations. You need to eat often, but little by little, so as not to stretch the stomach and not overstrain internal organs. Breaks between meals should not exceed 3 hours. Avoid alcohol, coffee and carbonated drinks. Support the stomach with infusions of flax, linden, birch buds.
Varicose veins are ready to "attack"
Exacerbation of varicose veins in autumn occurs under the influence of high humidity, frequent changes in temperature and pressure. Indeed, in such weather, the load on the veins of the legs increases significantly, the blood becomes thicker, and there is heaviness in the legs.
“In the off-season, it is much easier to “earn” varicose veins or provoke the development or exacerbation of the disease than at other times. Therefore, it is imperative to change your posture more often while sitting at the table, walk more (at least a stop or a couple of floors up the stairs) and take preventive measures to disperse blood and prevent swelling. Well, for those who already suffer from varicose veins, in unstable weather, I would recommend wearing compression stockings daily. Such a simple measure will prevent the occurrence of venous insufficiency and the formation of blood clots,” says the doctor.
The specialist recommends that office workers walk for at least 30-40 minutes after working in the fresh air to speed up blood circulation. If this is not possible, find 15 minutes a day for physical exercise. Try to limit the consumption of excessively salty or spicy foods, smoked meats, fried foods. Eat more vegetables and fruits, herbs and nuts.
No matter how stressful your work is, you can not sit for several hours in the same position. If possible, get up from your chair every 40 minutes and walk at least into the next room. If there is neither time nor opportunity for this - constantly rearrange your legs, raise your socks, do under the table, imperceptibly for the rest, circular movements with your feet, massage your knees, rearrange your legs from socks to heels.
It's no secret that autumn is the season of exacerbation of many chronic diseases, as well as the appearance of some "classic" autumn diseases. Seasonal allergies, colds, flu epidemics, exacerbation of joint pain - this, alas, is far from a complete list of autumn health threats.
Many doctors during this period increase the number of patients. And some people, on the contrary, try to cope on their own. How to avoid autumn diseases and prevent exacerbation of chronic diseases? Read our article.
What autumn diseases should be afraid of - acute and chronic?
Why is the autumn season considered the most dangerous for many patients? The reason is simple: together with the transition to cold weather, rain and dampness, as well as short daylight hours, in most cases, human immunity also decreases. Therefore, the body becomes vulnerable to infections and viruses. Also, due to a decrease in immunity, chronic diseases also make themselves felt.
The most common autumn diseases:
- Colds and SARS
- Flu
- ENT diseases
- Cystitis
- Pyelonephritis (kidney inflammation)
- Herpes
- Exacerbation of chronic joint diseases
- Exacerbation of peptic ulcer of the stomach and duodenum
- Seasonal allergies (usually to weed pollen)
- Dermatoses
- Nervous and mental disorders
Eg, colds and SARS- a direct confirmation that the body is under stress due to the sharp change of seasons. As a result, a weakened body is unable to resist not only viruses, but also simple hypothermia. Against the background of a weakened immune system, a cold can easily turn into diseases of the ENT system. Among them: tonsillitis, pharyngitis, tonsillitis, laryngitis, tracheitis, bronchitis, rhinitis, sinusitis, otitis, etc. Often, due to a decrease in immunity, in parallel with a cold (or independently of it), “blooms” on the lips herpes.
Another possible negative consequence of hypothermia is cystitis. Infection of the bladder and urinary tract is very typical for autumn. It is more common in women. Its most obvious symptom is difficult and painful urination. If left untreated, acute cystitis easily becomes chronic with numerous relapses. There is also a risk of getting a complication in the form pyelonephritis- inflammation of the kidneys, which will be much more difficult and longer to cure. Therefore, never start foci of inflammation in your body!
The first month of autumn is the most difficult for allergy sufferers. Weeds peak in September, and every time they go outside turns into a real hell for such patients. The state of weakness and lethargy is accompanied by rhinitis, itching of the mucous membranes and sneezing, sometimes conjunctivitis and urticaria. You can not ignore allergies for years, otherwise, with age, it can develop into asthma.
The transition to a new daily routine, vitamin deficiency, endocrine disorders, combined with malnutrition and depression can easily lead to an exacerbation peptic ulcer.
From cold dank weather and dampness on the street, it can start "break" the joints especially if they have been bothering you for a long time.
And to explain the reason for the appearance in the fall nervous disorders and not necessarily. Who among us has not been moping during the period of leaf fall and rains? And if there are prerequisites for the development of depression, except for the weather and lack of sun, then the risk increases many times over.
Prevention of autumn diseases
The most important means for the prevention of traditional autumn diseases (especially colds) is, of course, strengthening the immune system. Gradual hardening (for starters, you can try a contrast shower), moderate physical activity, a healthy balanced diet with a sufficient amount of all the necessary vitamins and minerals, a complete healthy sleep, active lifestyle, correct alternation the regime of work and rest will leave no chance for almost any disease!
Try not to overcool. To do this, follow the weather forecast and dress according to it. Good idea- stock up on fashionable bright rubber boots that guarantee dry feet in puddles of any depth. After all, hypothermia of the whole organism comes, first of all, from the legs.
Allergy sufferers need to do allergy tests, determining exactly the source of torment, and then follow the recommendations of the allergist.
Patients who are aware of chronic diseases especially sensitively need to monitor their well-being in autumn. Therapeutic exercise and physiotherapy combined with massage will be a wonderful prevention of joint pain. And an MRI of the joints will help determine the exact cause of the pain.
A clear diet prescribed by a gastroenterologist (frequent and fractional) will not allow peptic ulcer disease to “walk around”. And one of better ways diagnostics of diseases of the gastrointestinal tract remains ultrasound.
At the slightest health problem, do not ignore the signals of the body. It is better to immediately consult a doctor and start timely treatment to avoid complications. The therapist will refer you for laboratory tests and to specialists of a narrower profile, if necessary. Moreover, the modern range of diagnostic services will make it possible to detect most diseases at an early stage.
But the most important thing is a positive attitude! It is he who will help to spend autumn with a smile and not get sick!
