Cellulitis in the pregnancy

What commonly we know as cellulitis is in his medical denomination the lipodistrofia or dystrophy of the greasy textile. The cellulitis in his academic name is a more serious illness and that has not anything in common with the complaint with which we will deal in this space.

The genetic predisposition, the malfunctions endocrines, metabolic, immune, toxicological, the stress, the sedentarismo, changes in the feeding, ingestion of contraceptive, food consumption that hormones contain: are here the most frequent causes of cellulitis.

During the pregnancy there are liberated many hormones destined for the good gestation of your baby, but simultaneously, the above mentioned hormones can unleash or aggravate the cellulitis or lipodistrofia. The cellulitis forms from the mucina deposit inside the textile, the mucina is a gel that absorbs many water quantity. On having increased his volume, it compresses the circulatory micro structures. The affected area begins to have low concentrations of oxygen and high concentrations of toxins, which cannot be absorbed by the small caused to collapse venous and lymphatic capillaries. Thus the fibroblasto, cell entrusted to produce mucina, gets excited and begins to segregate it increasingly.

The cellulitis is not treated, can be improved by the suitable treatment, and it will depend in that grade of the illness finds the skin at the moment of initiating some treatment. The same way, although the pregnancy could aggravate the cellulitis picture, a good moment is not this to initiate any conventional treatment as for example the lymphatic drainage, the medicines anticelulíticos or the mesoterapia. Do not lose hope, you already will have time to deal with this topic after your baby has been born.

There exist some specialists who recommend the lymphatic drainage during the pregnancy, but there are studied some cases of pregnant women who, after having done this type of treatment, suffered tromboflebitis or thrombus pulmonary muddle. That's why I recommend to you to consult very well with your obstetra. And my particular opinion is that you do not do any treatment until your baby has been born. What if you can do during the pregnancy is to have certain healthy and preventive conducts. As for example:

The mucina earlier mentioned forms from the carbohydrates ingestion, that's why you will have to reduce his consumption during the pregnancy. Fundamentally those carbohydrates without nourishing value as for example: tidbits, white bread, pastas, cookies and desserts.
The sausages are "prohibited" in general and the very salty food if you have predisposition to the cellulitis.
- it completes fats in moderate quantity.
- it completes abundant fruits and vegetables.
- it completes proteins of good quality like: degreased meat, chicken without skin, lean fish, eggs (not fried food), lean cheeses skimmed milk, skimmed milk derivatives.

During the gestation you must drink between 2litros and I come up to 3 liters of daily liquid. In the possible thing it waters down, and natural juices. Avoid the artificial juices and the sodas.

It realizes daily walks from half an hour until the morning and half an hour to the evening. The walk will favor the blood circulation affected by the high levels of progesterone. As well as the pressure of the gestante in the last months of pregnancy. During the walk, the organism will liberate endorfinas, that is a substance vasodilatadora that will increase the oxygen concentration in the textiles, making like that brake to the formation of mucina. The swimming or the gymnastics for pregnant women in the water, also are a very good exercising for the pregnant mom.

He avoids tight pledges, especially in thighs and buttocks.
Also the use of comfortable footwear is important, he avoids the high blocks. Especially during the last months of the pregnancy, which is very common the edema of the legs.
