The hazards of infusion

With the continuous improvement of modernization, people's living standards are also constantly improving, people's quality of life is also constantly improving, and people's pace of life is also constantly accelerating. It is precisely because of this situation that people know more things and do more things. The harm of this infusion is one of them.

As for the dangers of this kind of infusion, there are actually many different practices in society, so people don’t need to worry too much. The following is some information about the dangers of this kind of infusion.

1. Intravenous drip will increase the insoluble particles in your blood

Insoluble particles are particles smaller than 50 microns and are invisible to the naked eye. These particles can be generated from the drug itself, from infusion instruments, or during the production of the drug, and enter your blood during the infusion. Some doctors easily overlook the potential harm of insoluble particles to patients. "Intravenous drip" allows the drug solution to enter the human body's blood circulation directly. Since the diameter of the human body's capillaries is generally 4-7 microns, frequent or large amounts of drug infusions into the blood vessels will cause insoluble particles to accumulate in large quantities in important organs such as the heart, lungs, and kidneys that are rich in microvessels. Over time, this can cause microvascular thrombosis and infarction, pulmonary granulomas, pulmonary fibrosis, increased pulmonary venous pressure, increased pulmonary arterial pressure, and local tissue edema, inflammation, necrosis, and even cancer.

2. Intravenous drip can reduce the body's immunity and make the body resistant to drugs

Our body's own immune system has a strong defense capability against germs and viruses in the surrounding environment. If you get an IV drip when you are sick, whether it is a serious illness or a minor one, in the long run it will not only increase the body's drug resistance, but may also interfere with the body's normal defense function. The infused drugs enter the blood circulation directly without passing through the gastrointestinal tract, omitting the humoral immunity and cellular immunity links. Over time, it will form an uncontrollable vicious cycle, reducing the body's own immune ability. At the same time, it is also easy to suffer from infusion dependence syndrome. That is, some people find it difficult to be effectively treated with medicine when they have minor illnesses such as colds, and they often use infusions for treatment, which causes the body to develop drug resistance. If they suffer from the same disease again in the future, it will be difficult to recover without intravenous drips.

3. Intravenous drips can cause an imbalance in the body's flora and increase the chances of infection.

There are many bacteria on the human body and inside the body. For example, there are some beneficial bacteria in our gastrointestinal tract to help us digest. Under normal circumstances, maintaining a balance between the bacterial flora will not cause disease. Excessive infusion can lead to imbalance of the body's inherent bacterial flora and increase bacterial resistance. The emergence of "super bacteria" has already warned us that this type of bacteria is extremely powerful and ordinary drugs have no killing effect on it, which will bring unimaginable adverse consequences to future disease treatment.

3. 4. Intravenous drips are more likely to cause adverse drug reactions than oral medications, especially allergic reactions. If taken orally, the impurities in the medicine that can cause allergies may be digested in the digestive tract or may not be absorbed by the body. However, when given through an IV, these impurities directly enter the bloodstream, and in severe cases can cause anaphylactic shock or even death. Some doctors say that adverse drug reactions are ultimately caused by the drugs themselves, but it is undeniable that direct infusion leads to the aggravation of such adverse reactions. Oral medications can be absorbed through the gastrointestinal tract first, which can reduce the chance of adverse reactions.

5. Intravenous drips are expensive and a waste of money. In fact, any medicine has its own metabolic rules. As long as there is no problem with digestion and absorption, the effects of oral medication and infusion are equivalent. Of course, oral medications must be taken on time and in the proper amount according to the instructions on the package in order to exert their desired effects. Compared with injection treatment, oral medication has another more realistic advantage, which is that oral medication is cheap. If your disease can be cured with cheap medicine and it does little harm to your body, why wouldn't you do it?

6. Other problems with intravenous drips.

If the concentration of the medicine used for intravenous drip is too dilute or too concentrated, it can destroy the electrolyte balance in the body after entering the human body; if the infusion speed is too fast, or too much medicine is injected, it may also cause high blood pressure, heart failure and pulmonary edema; even if bubbles or blood clots are mixed into the medicine in the syringe, it may block the blood vessels and cause the heart to stop beating.

Through the above understanding and introduction, I believe everyone can have a certain understanding of the hazards of this kind of infusion. At the same time, I also hope that everyone can be helped by the above knowledge. At the same time, I also hope that everyone can do more useful exercises in daily life. At the same time, I also hope that everyone can develop a habit of going to bed early and getting up early.
