La gravidanza è uno dei periodi più emozionanti della vita. Tuttavia, alcune donne potrebbero soffrire di disturbi dovuti ai cambiamenti fisici e ormonali a cui va incontro il corpo durante il periodo della gestazione.
I più comuni sono i fastidi intimi, il reflusso gastroesofageo e le emorroidi.
Le cause principali sono i cambiamenti ormonali – soprattutto nei primi mesi di gravidanza per quanto riguarda il reflusso – e l’aumento del volume dell’utero. La crescita del bambino nella cavità addominale genera un significativo incremento della pressione sul pavimento pelvico e questo aumenta, di conseguenza, il rischio di infiammare le emorroidi.
Il reflusso gastroesofageo si presenta quando i succhi gastrici implicati nel processo della digestione risalgono, entrando in contatto con le pareti dell’esofago. Accade spesso dopo i pasti principali, in modo diverso sia in termini di durata che di intensità. Generalmente è correlata a un malfunzionamento dello sfintere esofageo inferiore.
Le emorroidi sono vasi sanguigni situati all’interno del canale anale che svolgono un ruolo molto importante nella gestione della continenza fecale. Quando si dilatano e si infiammano, si parla di malattia emorroidaria. Si stima che circa l’80% delle donne soffra di emorroidi in gravidanza.
Le emorroidi possono essere interne (a volte non causano dolore ma possono sanguinare) o esterne (dolorose, compaiono dopo uno sforzo intenso come in caso di stitichezza).
Piccoli accorgimenti quotidiani che faranno la differenza 🤍
E non solo: assumere una postura corretta dopo i pasti è fondamentale, così come aumentare la qualità del sonno.
Un corretto stile di vita in gravidanza, supportato da rimedi naturali, aiuta a ridurre l’infiammazione e restituire elasticità alle pareti venose.
Le molecole al suo interno svolgono un’azione protettiva sulla mucosa gastrica ed esercitano un controllo dell’acidità gastrica. L’effetto terapeutico della Banana potrebbe essere dovuto anche all’aumento della formazione di fattori protettivi della mucosa gastrica.
Dall’effetto emolliente, la radice di Altea forma uno strato protettivo sulle mucose del cavo orale e della faringe calmando l’irritazione e l’infiammazione locale causata dal reflusso gastroesofageo. Possiede inoltre azione lenitiva e antiossidante.
I coni di Cipresso sono utilizzati di supporto al trattamento di sintomi correlati a stati infiammatori, come le emorroidi, grazie alle loro proprietà astringenti e antiossidanti. Riconosciuta anche l’attività di controllo microbico nei confronti di batteri Gram+, Gram- e
lieviti.
Dall’eccellente azione lenitiva, questo olio è da sempre apprezzato per la sua azione antiossidante e protettiva: favorisce la produzione di collagene, dunque la riparazione delle ferite, ed è dunque utile in caso di infezioni della cute.
