Hello! I have been a doctor for 21 years. My name is Georgy Olegovich Sapego. This article will be another set of questions and answers.
Question: Does the cold apply to the patient's elbow?
Answer: No. It won't hurt. Cold is a non-specific anti-inflammatory agent. It is part of the standard treatment for bruised legs and arms: applying ice through a rag for 20 minutes every 2 hours for the first 2 days, bandaging with an elastic bandage, and elevated position. All of these items reduce swelling in a sore spot. But with the elbow there is another story about the dangers of heat. There, in the elbow joint, heterotopic ossification is easily obtained. It is triggered by trauma, but accelerated by heat. This is when the soft tissue around the joint turns into bone and the elbow loses its mobility.
Question: What exercises strengthen the elbow joint.
Answer: Usually none. They don't touch him until he gets sick. But if it hurts in the form of epicondylitis, then you will have to do a lot of exercises through the pain. This is how the muscles attached next to the elbow force it to recover properly.
Question: If they don't get cancer, why do spouses leave one after another?
Answer: Spouses leave one after the other, because in older people malignant neoplasms are the second cause of death after heart disease.
Question: All my teeth in the lower jaw, neck and ear hurt. Is the facial nerve being pinched?
Answer: No. The facial nerve doesn't hurt. The trigeminal nerve hurts. This is called neuralgia. In the overwhelming majority of cases, it's about the teeth. So you need to see the dentist. Even if it seems that the neck hurts - all the same to the dentist.
Question: Tears flow from my eyes all the time, you just have to go out into the daylight. Before that, there was a fall with a loss of consciousness. What could it be?
Answer: There are many reasons for watery eyes. This is a separate topic in medicine. It also happens after an injury. This is usually due to damage to the facial nerve. Sometimes the damage is inside the head.
Question: How can you even use menstrual cups with microbes inside if the vagina during menstruation is an open wound, since there is no mucous membrane to protect against infection?
Answer: This is not an open wound, and there is a mucous membrane that protects against infection. And not only protects from infection, but also from mechanical damage (which, in principle, is understandable to any adult). So a menstrual cup for the vagina is no more dangerous than some other objects that have a mechanical effect on it.
Question: Is it true that microbes do not multiply on the menstrual cup, because it sticks to the cervix, and the infection cannot live in it without air?
Answer: No. It is rather a matter of the smooth surface of the bowl. Tampons in this sense are worse, because they have a porous structure and microbes can live inside them. It is more difficult for microbes to gain a foothold on the smooth surface of the bowl. Air does not matter here, because the cup is located in the vagina, and microbes that normally live there usually do not need oxygen.
Question: The stomach is protected from bacteria by its acidic environment, and how is the vagina protected?
Answer: The vagina is protected from many bacteria by its acidic environment.
Question: I will not say anything about the moral side. I would like to see the results of a study: how does the use of bowls lead to female illnesses and infertility and thus helps to solve the problem of overpopulation?
Answer: Morality is the rules of behavior in society. The menstrual cup is an intimate product, it has nothing to do with morality. I would also be interested to see the results of a study on the effect of bowls on infertility. Only I have not seen such research.
