Hello, dear Julia Evgenievna.

I ask you, please help me to understand my situation. I am 42 years old, did not give birth, height 167 cm, lean structure, weight 55 kg.

Since January of this year, I noticed the appearance of blood in the stool the day before menstruation and so on for 5 days, and then the stool returns to normal and no longer. Before the cycle, the abdomen hurts, bursts, sometimes gives to the back, and there is also pressure on the lower abdomen with bursting pains in the form of "fireworks".

Previously, the stomach also hurt, but I referred to the PMS symptoms that everyone has it. I drank painkillers the day before menstruation and on the first day of the cycle, and then there was no pain. As I noticed the blood in the stool, I got scared and began to look deeper for the problem. The more the stomach cramps, the more on the stool. Mucus is dark red, but sometimes stool comes out and just with transparent mucus. During this period, the entire abdomen is inflated with air and colic.

Usually my cycle is 25 days, the first 3 days are normal, not strong and not meager, on the 4th day there is almost nothing, and from 5-6 days it turns into a dark daub. On the 7th day, everything rounds out.

Additional symptoms - the emotional background before the cycle: tearfulness, very sorry for myself, fearfulness, sometimes there is a lump in the throat - so you want to cry. This condition occurs a week or 2-3 days before menstruation. Sometimes migraine pains on one side of the head and rhodium in the eye are tormented, 7 days before the period. Sometimes in some month there is no migraine at all, but the lower abdomen starts to hurt already on the 20th day of the cycle.

I live in Germany, I got tested for hormones in their laboratory. The results of my analyzes: at 5 d.ts. my estradiol - 94.1 pg / ml, at 21 d.ts. my estradiol is 112 pg / ml. Laboratory norm: follicular phase 13-166, ovulation phase 86-498, luteal phase 44-211, menopause menopause 0.1-0.8. Also at 21 d.c.: testosterone - 0.42 ng / ml (norm 0.08-0.48), TSH - 1.74 mU / l (norm 0.27-4.2), free T4 - 1 , 1 ng / dl (norm 0.93-1.7), T3 free - 3.2 ng / l (norm 2.00-4.43), T3 total - 0.96 ng / l (norm 0.8 -2.0), antibodies to TPO - 15.1 U / ml (norm

The gynecologist did an intravaginal ultrasound, said everything is fine. He also said that it looks like endometriosis, but this ultrasound does not detect and it is necessary to do a laparoscopy to be sure 100 percent. This surgical intervention would not be desirable.

I did a colonoscopy on the 22nd day of the cycle, the doctor did not find anything in the intestines, said there was no inflammation and also did not find any foci of endometriosis. And just the next day after the colonoscopy in the morning, my stomach twisted strongly, went to the toilet and again dark red mucus appeared on the chair. The chair is "slobbering", dark brown. Then, after a day, the stool turned green, but the mucus still came out. Sometimes more, sometimes less, and then at some period there was no, just the mucus was transparent brown. Could the intestines become so inflamed or is it a manifestation of endometriosis that begins and ends with the cycle?

I ask your advice, how can I treat this? I tried to drink a tincture of a mixture of Borova uterus and Red Brush - I did not notice anything for one month, I noticed in the second month - I began to pull my stomach for 15-17 days, I got scared and stopped drinking. I read about Lumbago meadow, that it is a progesterone herb, is it so?

I wanted to try it and now I started drinking Agunus Kastus 4 mg, in tablets 1 time a day, until the 4th day only. The doctors here treat only with surgery and subsequent hormones. I strongly ask you to help me.

Thank you in advance.

Hello Oksana!

Hello, dear Julia Evgenievna!

I ask you to help solve the health problem.

I am 29 years old, height 162 cm, weight 51 kg. I am married and have a 7 year old child. I have been trying to get pregnant for a very long time. There were already 2 frozen pregnancies, one at a period of 4-5 weeks (3 years ago, they did curettage), and at a period of 6-7 weeks (a month ago, they did vacuum aspiration).

Cytology - cells of columnar epithelium - moderate hyperplasia. dysplasia of the columnar epithelium is weak.

Histology - layers of decidual tissue with fibromioid necrosis. Chorionic villi with deep dystrophic changes and necrotic areas in bromine trophobic areas.

A year ago I was still tested for prolactin - 269 (on the 5-7th day of the cycle, I don't remember exactly).

And my husband took a spermogram - reaction (slightly alkaline) - 8.0; liquefaction time (20-30 min) - 40 min., viscosity (1-5mm) - 10 mm (the result is highlighted as increased), the amount in 1 ml (60-130 million) - 25 million, the total amount - 100 million, mobility - 65; normokinesis (80-90%) - 59, normal forms - 88% of living, pathological forms - 12% of living, head (up to 15%) - 10, neck (2-5%) - 2, tail (2-5 %) - absent, leukocytes - 6-8 in the field of view, erythrocytes - absent, epithelium - moderate amount, lecithin grains - moderate amount, Bechter crystals - a large number of.

Hello dear spouses!

Today, Katya, you need to remove the inflammation (apparently, this is the metro endometritis, judging by the cytology of the abortive material); simultaneously work with blood (thick) and engage in ovulation stimulation.

Echinacea purpurea

2. Collect herbs for drinking.

Grind the grass and fruits evenly up to 2-3 mm, roots up to 3-5 mm - at the beginning mechanically to small pieces, then on a coffee grinder; stir evenly.

Take herbs without specifying the dose with tablespoons.

1 tbsp pour the mixture with 300.0 ml of cold drinking water for an hour, then bring to a boil. Simmer on low heat or in a boiling water bath, covered, for 15 minutes.

Cool, strain, squeeze out and top up to 300.0 ml.

Drink 100.0 ml three times a day, 30 minutes before meals. The course is 2 months.

3. Irrigation, your main procedure, in my opinion.

Pour the cake from the collection of herbs for drinking with 300.0 ml of water and cook for another 20 minutes on low heat. Strain, squeeze and douche:

Douche according to all the rules, lying in the bathroom, throwing your feet on the side (in the pose of a woman in labor), for at least 10 minutes. At the end of the procedure, abundantly soak a cotton-gauze swab with Calendula officinalis oil. Put the tampon on overnight and repeat on the next cycle.

Pour 1: 5 deodorized vegetable oil over dry marigold flower baskets and place in a boiling water bath under the lid. Stir, not allowing the oil to boil, for 2-3 hours. Cool, drain. One tampon will need 10.0-12.0 ml of oil. Set in the second half of the cycle, 10 days in a row.

Use sage oil swabs in the first half of the cycle. Cook in exactly the same way, set for 10-12 days in a row.

To stimulate ovulation, your ultrasound will be required by the 18th day of the second cycle after the abortion, and hormones - progesterone, estradiol and prolactin - also through the cycle, by 20-21 days.

Antiviral antibodies do not always reflect fresh infection.

I find my husband's spermogram quite suitable for conception, but the number of p / a should be increased when you get rid of the inflammation completely.

We will be glad to see you in the branded stores of the Staroslav Eco-factory in your city, as well as in our online store.

Good luck and all the best!

Good afternoon, Yulia Evgenievna.

I am asking you for help, very much a difficult situation... I am 43 years old, height 159 cm, weight 50 kg. There was one birth in 1996, one miscarriage and a frozen pregnancy in 2016. It was very difficult to endure it, it was twice cleaned and it was morally difficult, for two years I could not decide to get pregnant again.

Now I really want to, I understand that it's too late, but nevertheless. In February 2018, she began to take all the tests prescribed by the doctor. The diagnosis was made: chronic corpus luteum cyst. Then they decided that it was endometrioid and, plus endometriosis, a cyst 31 * 26 * 28 mm without blood flow.

These are the analyzes: AMG - 0.41, inhibin B - 47.5, estradiol - 129, total testosterone - 0.846, free testosterone - 0.0083, globulin - 79.9, free androgen index - 1.1, CA125 - 47 , FSH - 8.21, LH - 6.75, prolactin - 184.93, progesterone - 22.73.

Dear Natasha!

I really want to help you, but your hormonal balance, that is, the final diagnosis, is completely incomprehensible to me. All hormones are without norms and it is not known for which phase of the cycle. No ultrasound, no follicular landscape - how many follicles are suitable candidates for dominant and corpus luteum; how many are there in general?

If it's all about the deficiency of progesterone in the second half of the cycle, you need to strengthen it with progestogens. If there is little testosterone, you need to increase its level, etc.

Given my age, I would start with general stimulation.

50.0 g of chopped sophora root pour 500.0 ml of 40% alcohol, leave for 10 days, strain, drink 15 drops 3 times a day for 40 days. Take a break for 14 days, continue or change the herb.

Grind the grass and fruits evenly up to 2-3 mm, roots up to 3-5 mm - at the beginning mechanically to small pieces, then on a coffee grinder; stir evenly.

Take herbs without specifying the dose with tablespoons.

From 14-29 d.ts. add to the collection - 1 tbsp. walnut leaf.

1 tbsp pour the mixture with 200.0 ml of cold drinking water for an hour, then bring to a boil. Simmer on low heat or in a boiling water bath, covered, for 15 minutes.

Cool, strain, squeeze out and top up to 200.0 ml.

Drink 70.0 ml three times a day, 30 minutes before meals. The course is 2 months.

But you must understand that the same dyufastone is stronger and faster than progestogenic herbs.

I am waiting for you with the norms of hormones and the characteristics of your menstruation.

Until next time!

Good afternoon, Olesya!

Unfortunately, you do not have a diagnosis to rely on in your recommendations.

One can only guess why you are not getting pregnant - insufficiency of the second half of the cycle, poor regulation of the cycle by the pituitary gland, anovulatory cycles, mfia, possibly even androgenism.

We need not the words "hormones are normal", but the numbers of hormones with the norms for the day of the cycle.

Progesterone with 21-23 dc, estradiol with 21-23 dc, TSH and T4 light, testosterone and cortisol. The same applies to the spermogram. And, most importantly, the picture of ultrasound in 18 d.ts.

Today there is a violation of the FSH: LH ratio, about which you can put the sacred Vitex tincture, and, while waiting for its readiness, start taking Cyclodinone according to the instructions.

Tincture of Holy Vitex:

A 50 gram glass of chopped Vitex fruits and 50.0 g of dry herb Echinacea purpurea pour 1 liter of vodka and insist for three weeks in a dark place, shaking occasionally.

Strain and drink 1 tsp each. two to three times a day, half an hour before meals. Course - 30 days and a week break, then conduct two more courses.

Hello, Lyubochka!

It's been a long time since you were here! I hope nothing particularly bothered!

And now you are again in minor - I think that you are ripe for such a scheme:

1. Tincture of the sacred Vitex fruit.

Pour a 50-gram glass of chopped Vitex fruits and 50.0 g of dry Echinacea purpurea herb with 1 liter of vodka and insist for three weeks in a dark place, shaking occasionally. Strain and drink 1 tsp each. two to three times a day, half an hour before meals. Course - 30 days and a week break, then conduct two more courses.

2. Collection of herbs.

1 tbsp seeds without crushing, soak 200.0 ml cold water at night. In the morning, quickly bring the brown infusion to a boil and simmer over low heat for 10 minutes. Let cool and strain.

Rub the swollen and boiled seed into the roots - daily, for 2 months. Rinse your hair with the rest of the broth after washing, wipe your face.

And of course, drink. In the East, Fenugreek is one of the favorite spices for rejuvenation!

Drink 100.0 ml, 3 times a day 20-30 minutes before meals.

GOOD LUCK, Lyubochka!

06/02/18 Elena

Good day!

I am 38 years old. I ask you to suggest a treatment regimen with the following data:

1. After the 6-month intake of novaring (hormones) was discontinued, health began to deteriorate. Passed tests: AT-TPO - less than 3, estradiol - 723, testosterone - 1.0, prolactin - 183, free testosterone - 0.6, anti-Muller hormone - 0.6.

2. According to the results of the ultrasound, 2 small cysts were found in the thyroid gland and something in the left breast (the doctor said not neoplasms, it seems like a nodule, I don’t remember exactly). The doctor was released without an appointment.

I did the following: I introduced seaweed into the daily diet and take Borovaya uterus (Staroslav) three times a day with meals. In a couple of weeks, the tincture of Potentilla will ripen, I also plan to take it.

3. For more than 2 years I have been suffering from follicular cysts - every two months. Only the last two cycles retreated due to the reception of Borovaya uterus, it seems to me.

Hello, Elena!

It is not difficult to change the scheme - it is difficult to understand what is happening with your hormones.

There are no norms for that phase of the cycle when you donated blood (follicular phase - from 1-11 dc; ovulatory from 12-15 dc, luteal - from 15-28 dc). It is not clear why AMG does not suit you and which TTG and T4 St.? How is your period? We rely on facts, although we can influence emotions)).

AMH is not as important for conception as FSH, LH and prolactin. I would like to see them.

Grind the grass and fruits evenly up to 2-3 mm, roots up to 3-5 mm - at the beginning mechanically to small pieces, then on a coffee grinder; stir evenly.

Take herbs without specifying the dose with tablespoons.

1 tbsp pour the mixture with 300.0 ml of cold drinking water for an hour, then bring to a boil. Simmer on low heat or in a boiling water bath, covered, for 15 minutes. Cool, strain, squeeze out and top up to 300.0 ml.

Drink 100.0 ml three times a day 30 minutes before meals. The course is 1.5 months. Borovaya uterus - is able to lower the level of estradiol and progesterone, so long-term administration is carried out under the control of hormonal levels.

Until next time, all the best!

06/02/18 Tatiana

Good afternoon, dear doctor!

Please tell me if Vitex is shown in my case with the next problem.

She took for a year with a small combined cooke with antiandrogenic effect Jess Plus) for the purpose of contraception, as well as to improve the condition of the skin. Before taking it, I suffered from acne, increased oily skin of the face and scalp, an unstable cycle and painful periods.

The pills did their job well, but there were also side effects (the most pronounced is cellulite), and after reading terrible articles, I decided to quit with the pills. Several gynecologists persistently urged me to take pills before planning a pregnancy, but I still quit them and am now experiencing withdrawal symptoms.

The oily skin returned to its previous state, which does not suit me in any way. I understand that most likely the level of androgens has increased, and this is the effect of this.

I am intensely looking for soft, non-radical antiandrogenic agents, one of them, as many advise, is Vitex. Tell me, is it fraught to start taking without consulting a doctor? I'm afraid that they will again start "pushing" OK.

Good afternoon, Tatiana!

If you are looking for mild antiandrogens, nothing is softer yet more effective than Peppermint:

Here's the correct recipe:

A 50 gram glass of chopped Vitex fruits and 50.0 g of dry herb Echinacea purpurea pour 1 liter of vodka and insist for three weeks in a dark place, shaking occasionally. Strain and drink 1 tsp each. two to three times a day, half an hour before meals. Course - 30 days and a week break, then conduct two more courses. Six months later, three courses of treatment should be carried out again.

A doctor's consultation is never superfluous.

It is not easy to restore normal vaginal flora. Start with hygiene

Julia Evgenievna, Hello! Your help is very necessary! I am 35 years old married, there were no pregnancies. In 2015, during her period, she suffered a sore throat with a high temperature and neglected antibiotics). A week later, there were periodic weak, but unusual pulling sensations in the lower abdomen, but turned to the gynecologist only six months later, the ultrasound diagnosis: "Chronic endometritis". An antibiotic was prescribed - no effect. Hysteroscopy with curettage was performed. Histology: signs of endometritis, antibiotics, longidase intramuscularly 10 injections; "Mastokaps" Prutnyak) for 3 months. Then I started having trouble sleeping and, as a result, hormonal imbalance and weight gain (+ 12kg, although I'm not a glutton) up to 75 kg. And a year ago, my periods became not plentiful and only 3 days. I went to a gynecologist. In analyzes (blood for hormones on the 2nd day of the menstrual cycle) from September 2017: vit. D 6.6 ng / ml (pronounced deficiency), estradiol: 107.0 pmol / l (lowered), testosterone 4, 03 (increased), 17OH-Progesterone - 4.5 (increased), insulin 25 (increased), prolactin 406.6; FSH - 11.3; LH - 6.8; T3-2.6; T4 - 11.2; TSH - 2.1; Ab to TPO - 2.0. according to ultrasound, the endometrium is thin - 5 mm on the 7th day of the cycle (the thickness does not correspond to the day of the cycle). Conclusion of ultrasound: adenomyosis. inconsistency of the endometrium to the day of the menstrual cycle (chronic endometritis). Pr. Ovary cellular structure, left ovary: home foll.15mm. (03/14/18) Diagnosis: "Chronic endometritis with hypomenorrhea. Infertility of the 1st uterine genesis. Metabolic syndrome. Hypovitaminosis D". Appointed from November 2017: Metformin 1000x2 rvd (I drink the last, 6th, month), vit.D (first 10,000 IU, then 6,000, now 1,500 IU); calcium (1 month), magnesium B6 (1 month) in the table; iodine 100 mg - for prophylaxis, they said, 400 mg for 3 months (finished), On this moment Vit. D -54.6 ng / ml; insulin -10; weight -68.5 (-6.5kg) - (more energy, go to fitness, pool regularly, almost every day, in winter I went skiing, now a bicycle, soon rollers.). However, as explained, due to hormonal disruption (decrease in estrogen) in the endometrium, the number of estrogen receptors probably decreased, so it is thinner and menstruation is not abundant and short-lived. Maybe it coincided, but not abundant menstruation after a 7-day delay began against the background of Prutnyak's second course of Mastokaps (in March 2017, she finished the third month as prescribed by a gynecologist).

Vitex sacred (Vitex agnus castus), also called "Abraham's tree", "monk's pepper" or "common twig" is one of the most striking (and, unfortunately, rare) examples of how modern medicine was able to use the wisdom of ancient healers. This is one of the few herbal preparations that a woman can be prescribed right in the antenatal clinic.

In Russia, sacred vitex is prescribed mainly in the form of Mastodinon and Cyclodinone preparations. The most common indications for the appointment of this drug are menstrual irregularities, premenstrual syndrome, chest pain associated with the menstrual cycle (mastodynia).

It often happens that while taking Vitex, women suffering from infertility successfully become pregnant. Indeed, sacred vitex can promote conception if hormonal imbalances are the cause of infertility.

It should be noted that vitex itself does not contain any hormones, therefore it acts on the body gently and carefully.

How does Vitex work?

Recently, more and more often you can hear a similar phrase: "All diseases from the head." It is difficult for me to assess how true this statement is, but in our case, vitex begins to exert its beneficial effect on the body precisely from the head, or rather from the brain, where the pituitary gland is located.

The pituitary gland is a special endocrine gland that unites the activities of a number of other endocrine glands, a kind of control and coordination panel. The pituitary gland regulates many vital functions of our body, for example, it can send a signal to the ovaries about how much hormones they produce. This phenomenon is known as a hormonal feedback loop.

Vitex sacred is used:

1) To restore hormonal balance

Vitex sacred acts on the receptors of the hypothalamus, reducing the secretion of prolactin and increasing the production of luteinizing hormone by the pituitary gland, increasing the progesterone phase of the cycle. The pituitary gland also acts on the ovaries, stimulating their production of progesterone.

2) To restore natural hormonal balance after prolonged use of birth control pills

Taking Vitex for several months after stopping estrogen-containing oral contraceptives helps to improve the menstrual cycle and restore ovulation.

3) To relieve PMS symptoms

Clinical studies have shown that Vitex can be extremely helpful in relieving PMS. The most commonly used extract from the fruit, which has a good positive result in 70-90% of PMS cases.

A decrease in estrogen levels, entails a decrease in the level of the neurotransmitter serotonin, which reduces the level of irritability, nervousness, breast tenderness, bloating, headaches, etc.

4) To prevent miscarriages

Vitex sacred, as mentioned above, increases the level of progesterone, and thereby reduces the risk of miscarriage in the first trimester of pregnancy.

5) To stimulate lactation

For over 2,000 years, sacred vitex has been used to stimulate milk production in breastfeeding women. Reception usually begins on the child's birthday and continues as needed up to 10 days.

How to take Vitex?

For optimal results, Vitex must be taken long-term. Clinical studies have found that the effect of Vitex can be seen as early as day 10, but the greatest effect can be felt at 6 months or later.

Relief of PMS symptoms usually occurs in the second menstrual cycle, but for long-term changes it may be necessary to take Vitex for up to a year, or even more, depending on how much the woman has suffered from hormonal imbalances.

Thanks to Vitex, significant changes occur in the complex biochemical processes of our body, which is why it takes so long for the effect to be noticeable. Vitex is a harmonizing plant that works behind the scenes to restore balance slowly and gently.

Unlike synthetic hormonal drugs that force the body to change, Vitex nourishes and supports the system that rebalances in the long term.

Reception of Vitex and dosage

Vitex is recommended to be taken once a day - in the morning, on an empty stomach, half an hour before breakfast. If Vitex is part of a multi-herbal combination preparation, you must follow the instructions on the package.

Capsules: 900-1000mg per day

Tincture: 60-90 drops per day.

In what form is Vitex best taken?

Vitex comes in many forms: dried herb, capsules, tincture, tea, and powder. You can take Vitex in any form convenient for you, but Western herbalists, who often use Vitex in their practice, have found that Vitex in the form of capsules and tinctures gives the most pronounced results, in addition, this form facilitates dosing.

Many beneficial compounds from Vitex dissolve freely in alcohol (tincture), unlike water (tea). Vitex has a very pronounced taste, almost bitter, so it is not recommended to brew tea from it without first mixing it with other herbs. This is one of the reasons why Vitex capsules are so convenient.

Does Vitex help everyone?

Vitex is usually effective for most women of childbearing age (18 to perimenopause), but in a few cases it may not work.

Women whose lifestyle is far from ideal are unlikely to be able to experience all the benefits of Vitex. If you have a low level vital energy, constant fatigue, a weak immune system and you are eating inadequately - before taking Vitex, you need to make changes in your diet and daily routine. Taking Vitex without these changes will not bring the desired result.

By this I mean that if you want to bring balance to your body with Vitex or other herbs, you need to look deeper and listen to your body - is the root of the problem lies in the wrong lifestyle, in the wrong diet, in the liver weakened by antibiotics, or , for example, in a clogged colon?

In my opinion, this holistic approach to health is the most correct one. But you can think differently.

Safety and side effects of Vitex

Vitex has been used in the medicine of many peoples for 2000 years without any reported side effects. Some minor and rare side effects that can still appear: nausea, gastrointestinal upset, skin reactions, headache. But these are extremely rare cases, talking about the individual intolerance of the plant.

Despite the fact that no relationship has been identified between taking Vitex and oral contraceptives, it is still not recommended to take Vitex together with progesterone-containing drugs.

Some women see a shift in their menstrual cycle after taking Vitex for the first time. The cycle length can be varied up or down before finally stabilizing. This is normal and indicates that the body is balancing itself.

Vitex during pregnancy

It is believed that Vitex's ability to increase levels of the hormone progesterone explains the positive results that herbalists and obstetricians see in helping women with recurrent miscarriages. Although there is no clinical evidence for this fact, Vitex is used as such only in traditional medicine. And in modern medicine, progesterone analogs are used - Dyufaston and Utrozhestan.

Summarizing

Vitex is a wonderful herb for enhancing female fertility and helping with various conditions such as PMS, progesterone deficiency, irregular and painful periods. Vitex can bring many positive effects, but requires a patient and long-term reception. It is recommended to take it throughout the entire menstrual cycle, without interruptions for menstruation, in the morning and on an empty stomach.

If Vitex is not sold in pharmacies in your city, then you can always order high-quality and inexpensive Vitex in the form of capsules or tinctures in the iherb.com online store. I used to take Mastodinon, but I found that buying Vitex on iherb is more profitable and bought myself this Vitex fruit from Nature's Way.

Sacred Vitex grows on rocky, sandy and salty soils. It forms small thickets on the banks of water bodies. It has been domesticated since the 15th century, is considered a horticultural crop and is grown as ornamental plant... It grows almost everywhere, found in Africa, America, widespread in Asia and the Caucasus. In Russia and throughout the post-Soviet space, the plant is used as a medicinal one.
