Diaphragmatic Hernia, or Hiatal Hernia
This condition occurs when a part of the upper stomach protrudes through an opening in the diaphragm, which separates the chest and abdominal cavities. This can lead to various stomach problems, including heartburn and acid reflux.
Diaphragmatic hernias can develop for various reasons, and their development is often associated with the destruction or weakening of the diaphragm, allowing parts of the stomach to enter the chest cavity.
Here are some of the main causes:
1. Diaphragm Weakness: Congenital diaphragm weakness can be one of the main causes of diaphragmatic hernia. This weakening may be caused by genetic factors.
2. Increased Abdominal Pressure: One of the main reasons for a diaphragmatic hernia is increased pressure in the abdominal cavity. This can occur due to obesity, pregnancy, lifting heavy objects, chronic intense coughing, frequent straining during defecation or urination.
3. Age: With age, the diaphragm can naturally weaken, increasing the risk of developing a diaphragmatic hernia.
4. Trauma: Injuries in the diaphragm area can lead to its weakening or tearing, which can also result in a hernia.
5. Development of a Diaphragmatic Hernia: In some people, a diaphragmatic hernia may develop gradually due to long-term incorrect movements or posture.
6. Other Medical Conditions: In some cases, hernias may be associated with pathological conditions such as diaphragmatic cysts.
7. Abdominal Circulation Disorders: Blood stasis leads to organ and tissue deformation.
Recommendations for Diaphragmatic Hernia Treatment:
โ๏ธ Hirudotherapy (Treatment with Medical Leeches): Hirudotherapy can help improve blood circulation in the diaphragm area and reduce inflammation. Leeches help alleviate stagnation in the stomach and diaphragm, reducing pressure on the stomach. Such procedures should only be performed under the supervision of a professional.
๐ฟ Herbal Treatment: Some herbs, such as chamomile, lemon balm, and licorice root, can help reduce inflammation and relieve discomfort in the diaphragm area. Preparing teas from these herbs and consuming them regularly can be beneficial.
๐ฒ Diet: It's important to monitor your diet with a diaphragmatic hernia. Avoid overeating, consuming fatty and spicy foods, as well as large portions. It's best to eat 3-4 times a day without additional snacking. Do not drink water immediately after ะพr during meals as it dilutes stomach acid, which impairs digestion. Separation of food types can help reduce the load on the stomach and diaphragm. Also, it's recommended not to consume food at least 3-4 hours before bedtime.
๐ Bioresonance: Bioresonance therapy can help balance the functioning of organs and systems in the body, including the stomach and diaphragm. This contributes to symptom relief.
๐๐ผ Visceral Massage: Massaging the abdominal area, including the diaphragm, can help improve stomach movement and prevent heartburn. It's best to have this type of massage performed by a professional.
