Any woman in the period of expectation of a child approaches the issue of her health with special care. This applies to all methods of treatment: both folk and traditional. Herbal preparations, as well as medicines, should be treated very carefully. Herbal medicine is not so harmless as it seems at first glance. After all, any plant can harm both the mother and the child.
Almost all expectant mothers face such a problem as swelling or infectious diseases of the genitourinary system. In such cases, doctors recommend drinking herbal preparations, for example, Brusniver. Can I use Brusniver during pregnancy?
Structure
Phytotea Brusniver is a collection of several plant components. Judging by the name, the basis of this collection is lingonberry, or rather, its leaves, which have an excellent diuretic effect. In addition, the collection contains components such as rose hips, a three-part series and St. John's wort grass. Available in the form of briquettes or crushed raw materials.
Action on the body
Brusniver during pregnancy is not only safe, but also very useful. Having a weak effect on the body, it does not harm the fetus. Phytosorbing has an antimicrobial, diuretic, litholytic and anti-inflammatory effect on the body. Due to its fortified composition, it strengthens the immune system.
This tool has not only healing, but also supporting the body properties. It fills the body with vitamins and minerals, helps to regain strength after physical and mental stress.
There are no special contraindications to this remedy, as well as side effects. The only thing worth considering is the possibility of an allergic reaction to any component that is part of the collection.
Brusniver during pregnancy is prescribed at any stage. The collection is used for mild forms of infectious diseases of the genitourinary tract (pyelonephritis, urethritis, cystitis). In complicated forms of diseases, the collection is recommended to be taken in combination with stronger and more effective drugs.
Brusniver is also prescribed for the treatment of proctological (hemorrhoids, anal fissures) and gynecological (vaginitis, vulvitis) diseases. In the later stages of pregnancy, the drug is prescribed for the prevention and treatment of edema.
Brusniver for edema
In terms of severity, edema is different. The degree of puffiness can be determined only by the results of the examination. If the tests do not show anything terrible, but swelling of the limbs is still present, then this is the first degree. People call it “dropsy”. Brusniver during pregnancy is prescribed at this stage.
If along with swelling there are symptoms such as protein in the urine and hypertension, then this is the second degree. To the third is a change in the brain and fundus, and to the fourth (quite rare cases) - cramps, the appearance of which indicates fetal hypoxia and aging of the placenta. These are quite difficult moments that need to be treated. Brusniver here can only be recommended as an addition to the main therapy.
Brusniver - instructions for use
Brusniver is prepared as a decoction or infusion (2 cups per glass of boiling water) and is taken in 1/4 cup in 3 to 4 doses. In some cases, Brusniver during pregnancy is recommended in the form of therapeutic tampons, baths, lotions, douching, microclysters.
The duration of treatment of infectious diseases in the genitourinary system is from 1 to 3 weeks, gynecological - from 2 to 4 weeks by local and internal methods. Duration depends on the severity of the disease.
Before use, you should carefully study the instructions that are present on each package and where the method of preparing the decoction is described in detail. It should also be remembered that, like other medications, Brusniver during pregnancy can only be prescribed by your doctor.
