The Right and Wrong Posture | Improve our Posture

Posture is the position in which the body alignment is maintained in neutral. Good posture prevents musculoskeletal injuries. Usually, we ignore the proper postures and go with the comfortable ones. Often these relaxed postures are wrong.

Bad postures can cause several effects like back pain, joint degeneration, spine dysfunction, and even a potbelly. Knowing the proper postures and following them can help your long-term health.

Right and wrong postures

  •       While standing, it is important to stand straight without hunching.
  •       While sitting, do not hunch and cross your legs. Instead, sit with your spine straight and keep your feet down.
  •       While using a laptop or computer, make sure that it is at the right height and you do not have to bend your back or neck much to work on it. You should be able to work on the laptop while sitting straight.
  •       While using mobiles, most of us tend to keep it at chest height and look down to use it. But the right posture is to hold it up high and use it without straining your neck much.
  •       While supine lying down, place small and flat pillows – one for your head and another under your knees.

Urinary Tract Infection in Women

Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) refers to infections in the urinary tract and is quite common. Women have a greater risk of developing UTIs than men.

Urinary Tract Infection

Symptoms

  •       Burning sensation while passing urine
  •       Increased frequency of urination
  •       The urgency to pass urine
  •       Occasionally fever
  •       Blood in the urine or discoloration of the urine (differs with the patient)

Diagnosis

Diagnosis for UTI might involve

  •        Blood tests
  •       Urine tests

·     Radiological tests like ultrasound scans, CT scans, or occasionally even urine flow test

Causes

The causes of UTIs include

  •       Poor hygiene in the perineal region (especially in women)
  •       Constipation
  •       Uncontrolled blood sugar levels
  •        History of poorly treated urinary infections
  •       Certain anatomical problems

Usually, in women, the vagina has a self-cleaning mechanism. Unfortunately, people sometimes choose the advertised artificial vaginal cleansers. This should be avoided since these synthetic cleansers alter the natural pH of the area, which in turn causes the proliferation of unwanted bacteria. This leads to an unhealthy and dry vagina.

Certain women especially post-menopause, experience dryness in the vagina and urethral area because of the drop in the oestrogen levels.

Most women tend to hold back the urine because of inappropriate situations, and excessive holding back of the urine is harmful. Though it might not be in our control most times, it is crucial to passing urine as soon as when we have the urge.

Treatment

For patients with highly severe infections, intravenous antibiotics are administered. Also, stent placement to drain the pus is recommended.

Prevention

Here are some preventive tips for UTIs

  •       Maintaining good hygiene
  •       Taking care of bladder
  •       Always wipe front to back while cleaning the vaginal and urethral area
  •       Adequate intake of water
