Women who love beauty must not be unfamiliar with Botox, which is a good thing that can help women smooth out their wrinkles. However, anything has its side effects in addition to its effects. So, do women really know about Botox? Does it affect women's fertility?
What is Botox
A lot of women may only know that Botox is used to slim down the face or smooth out the "signs of age", but they don't know what Botox is and whether the bacteria can harm women who are pregnant? Obviously, there is a bacterium, and it's a deadly bacterium.
Clostridium botulinum is a bacterium that grows in an oxygen-deprived environment and is one of the most virulent bacteria. Botulism is a deadly germ that secretes botulinum toxin during reproduction, which is the most virulent toxin known to inhibit the release of acetylcholine from cholinergic nerve endings, leading to flaccid muscle paralysis. Because botulinum toxin has the ability to temporarily paralyze muscles, the medical profession used the toxin in the treatment of facial spasms and other muscular movement disorders, using it to paralyze the muscle nerves as a way to stop muscle spasms. Later in the treatment process, doctors found that it has an extraordinary function in eliminating wrinkles, and its effect is far more than any other kind of cosmetics or cosmetic surgery. This is the biggest reason why Botox has taken the world by storm.
It should also be noted that botulism is widely distributed in nature, and is often found in soil and occasionally in animal feces. According to the different antigenicity of the toxin produced, Clostridium botulinum is divided into A, B, Ca, Cb, D, E, F, G, the eight types, can cause human disease A, B, E, F type, which is the most common A, B type.
The role of Botox
Most of the women know the role of Botox is just cosmetic, so that women look more beautiful and younger. Do you know the other applications of Botox in the medical field besides beauty? Moms and dads also need to know about Botox yo avoid harming their babies or themselves because they don't know.
Botulinum toxin was first discovered in 1895, and Botulinum toxin A was first used clinically in 1950, but only for the treatment of neuromuscular hyperactivity. In the United States, the FDA has approved its use in ophthalmology, neurology, and ENT for hypermuscular disorders, and in 1992, an attempt was made to introduce it into aesthetic medicine for the treatment of what is known as wrinkle reduction.
In cosmetic medicine, Botox is mainly used to remove dynamic wrinkles, such as frown lines, crow's feet, head lines, and to improve the appearance of the face and legs. The indications for Botox wrinkle removal are mainly for the treatment of early wrinkles, for women under 35 years of age, especially for the upper half of the face of the forehead lines (forehead lines), lines between the eyebrows and crow's feet around the eyes, but also for the face below the chin and the front of the neck wrinkles. But moms and dads should be aware that it is contraindicated for pregnant and breastfeeding women!
In addition to the cosmetic aspect, Botox can help asthmatics by blocking the function of nerve conduction. They inject Botox into the vocal cords of patients with severe asthma to help relieve the patient's symptoms of shortness of breath and wheezing. Additionally, Botox can treat urinary incontinence by injecting Botox into the bladder to relax the bladder, increase its storage capacity and reduce incontinence.
Does Botox have side effects
Because Botox is a toxic bacteria, does Botox have side effects? Will it affect a woman's fertility? These are questions women are to understand yo!
The use of botulinum toxin is mainly used as a thin face, thin legs, wrinkles, according to the role of the effect can be divided into: thin legs, thin face, wrinkles, this kind of needle, general botulinum toxin overdose, may lead to facial paralysis or even death, but the dosage is very small, it is unlikely to appear the above problems. As a very toxic type of botulinum, many people will be uncomfortable with it, and even people who have never had allergies before may be allergic to it. Therefore, very stringent skin testing is required when injections are given. In addition, bruising or muscle weakness at the injection site is the most common side effect of Botox face slimming, which usually disappears in 3~5 days. Improperly injecting the muscles around the eyes, penetration of Botox into the levator muscle may cause drooping of the eyelids, or improper dosage and location of the injection may cause stiff and asymmetrical expressions. If injected regularly, the body will develop antibodies, making the effect shorter and shorter, and requiring more frequent injections and heavier dosages, which may result in side effects.
The use of Botox in cosmetic applications requires a lot of consideration, such as the dosage, the injection site, all of which require professional training, because once the injection fails, the consequences are no less than disfigurement. This is because once the injection fails, the consequences are no less than disfigurement. It is clear that if you want to inject Botox to "become beautiful" women must go to the regular hospital.
How long does it take to get pregnant with Botox
I believe that some women must have encountered such a situation, not long after the Botox cosmetic treatment, they found their own pregnancy, and in this case, women are usually very anxious. Women who want to have a baby played Botox, but do not know how long to play Botox can be pregnant. These questions, today I will take you to find the answer!
In fact, there is currently no international data on Botox for human pregnant women, and according to the rat experiments show that for pregnant rats injected with Botox 4U/Kg, equivalent to 50 kg patients once injected 200 units of Botox without abnormal findings. Based on the metabolism time of Botox, it is estimated that more than 99.9% of Botox has been excreted from the body one week after injection. Generally speaking, the use of Botox injections for cosmetic purposes can last for 3 to 6 months. Therefore, for safety consideration, if a woman who intends to become pregnant has been injected with botulinum toxin, it is best for her to be pregnant for more than half a year because the effect of face slimming injections has all disappeared by this time. However, if a woman has had Botox injections before or during pregnancy, she must go to the hospital to consult with an obstetrician and gynecologist.
There is another situation, if you just injected Botox not long found themselves pregnant, for the sake of the fetus and your safety, must go to the hospital in time to do ultrasound, and must be on time for maternity check, in the sixth month of pregnancy or so, take a 4-dimensional ultrasound, to determine the growth and development of the fetus. The last thing to remind women is that during the injection of botulinum toxin, you can not take such as gentamicin, penicillin and so on, because these will strengthen the toxicity of the drug, which will lead to poisoning.
