Health / Lung Cancer, Chief Gani, And You by doctorvic: 6:01pm On Sep 15, 2009
LUNG CANCER, CHIEF GANI, AND YOU

September, 5, 2009, Vanguard Nigerian Newspaper reads: Fire-eating lawyer and Nigeria’s foremost human rights activist, Chief Ganiyu Oyesola Fawehinmi is dead. The news of the death of the Human Rights crusader hit the Nigerian nation early this morning.
According to some Nigerian medical experts , In the case of Chief Gani Fawehinmi, he was initially undergoing asthma treatment because he was coughing before his condition was eventually diagnosed to be lung cancer. “Since they were treating him for asthma, this did not allow him to go early for definite assessment of his ailment”. Because of the early need for diagnosing lung cancer, people that cough require to be screened to be sure that the cough is not a symptom of lung cancer or even tuberculosis.

LUNG CANCER
Lung cancer remains the greatest killer of all cancer worldwide and its course may be brutally short. According to the WHO, in 2004, 7.4 million people died of cancer worldwide, the greater majority attributed to lung cancer.
The rate of occurrence of lung cancer has been reported to have a striking parallel to the incidence of cigarette smoking in any nation. And a heavy smoker consuming more than 20 cigarettes per day has a 30 to 40 times higher risk of developing the illness.
The risk is increased by early age of commencement of smoking and the duration of smoking. Other identified risk factors include second-hand smoking, air pollution and exposure to chemicals like arsenic, randon gas (radiation) and the notorious asbestos.
THE LUNGS: The lungs are a pair of cone-shaped organs that are situated inside the chest. The lungs bring oxygen into the body and take out carbon dioxide, which is a waste product of the cells of the body. Tubes called bronchi make up the inside of the lungs. Your lungs have an extensive network of blood and lymph vessels. Cancer cells may grow into these vessels and be carried by the blood or lymph and be deposited elsewhere in the body. Cancer can spread from the lungs to almost any site in the body. Most commonly it spreads to the brain, bone, bone marrow and liver. Lung cancer takes many years to develop. It is the second most common cancer in women.

SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS
Symptoms that suggest lung cancer include:
[1]dyspnea (shortness of breath)
[2]hemoptysis (coughing up blood)
[3]chronic coughing or change in regular coughing pattern
[4]wheezing
[5]chest pain or pain in the abdomen
[6]cachexia (weight loss), fatigue, and loss of appetite
[7]dysphonia (hoarse voice)
[8]clubbing of the fingernails (uncommon)
[9]dysphagia (difficulty swallowing).
[10]If the cancer grows in the airway, it may obstruct airflow, causing breathing difficulties. This can lead to accumulation of secretions behind the blockage, predisposing the patient to pneumonia. Many lung cancers have a rich blood supply. The surface of the cancer may be fragile, leading to bleeding from the cancer into the airway. This blood may subsequently be coughed up.
[11]Depending on the type of tumor, so-called paraneoplastic phenomena may initially attract attention to the disease. In lung cancer, these phenomena may include Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome (muscle weakness due to auto-antibodies), hypercalcemia, or syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone (SIADH). Tumors in the top (apex) of the lung, known as Pancoast tumors,may invade the local part of the sympathetic nervous system, leading to changed sweating patterns and eye muscle problems (a combination known as Horner's syndrome) as well as muscle weakness in the hands due to invasion of the brachial plexus.
[12]Many of the symptoms of lung cancer (bone pain, fever, and weight loss) are nonspecific; in the elderly, these may be attributed to comorbid illness. In many patients, the cancer has already spread beyond the original site by the time they have symptoms and seek medical attention. Common sites of metastasis include the brain, bone, adrenal glands, contralateral (opposite) lung, liver, pericardium, and kidneys. About 10% of people with lung cancer do not have symptoms at diagnosis; these cancers are incidentally found on routine Chest X-Ray.

DIAGNOSIS/TESTS
Performing a Chest X-Ray is the first step if a patient reports symptoms that may be suggestive of lung cancer. This may reveal an obvious mass, widening of the mediastinum (suggestive of spread to lymph nodes there), atelectasis (collapse), consolidation (pneumonia), or pleural effusion. If there are no radiographic findings but the suspicion is high (such as a heavy smoker with blood-stained sputum), bronchoscopy and/or a CT scan may provide the necessary information. Bronchoscopy or CT-guided biopsy is often used to identify the tumor type.

CHEST X-RAY
A chest x-ray is usually the first test performed to evaluate any concerns based on a careful history and physical. This may show a mass in the lungs or enlarged lymph nodes. Sometimes the chest x-ray is normal, and further tests are needed look for a suspected lung cancer. Even if a mass is found, these are not always cancerous and further studies are needed.

BLOOD TEST
A full blood count is generally taken at the start of any investigation into possible disease, including lung cancer. Changes in the number of red and/or white blood cells help doctors understand if the body is reacting/responding to a disease. Various different naturally occurring substances, such as proteins, antibodies, and the bodies own chemicals may differ from the normal range when cancer is present.
Complete blood count (CBC). This test determines the number of red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets within the blood.

PREVENTION
There's no sure way to prevent lung cancer, but you can reduce your risk if you:
· [1]Don't smoke. If you've never smoked, don't start. Talk to your children about not smoking, so they can understand how to avoid this major risk factor for lung cancer. Many current smokers began smoking in their teens. Begin conversations about the dangers of smoking with your children early, so they know how to react to peer pressure.
· [2]Stop smoking. Stop smoking now. Quitting reduces your risk of lung cancer, even if you've smoked for years. Talk to your doctor about strategies and stop-smoking aids that can help you quit. Options include nicotine replacement products, medications and support groups.
· [3]Avoid secondhand smoke. If you live or work with a smoker, urge him or her to quit. At the very least, ask him or her to smoke outside. Avoid areas where people smoke, such as bars and restaurants, and seek out smoke-free options.
· [4]Test your home for radon. Have the radon levels in your home checked, especially if you live in an area where radon is known to be a problem. High radon levels can be remedied to make your home safer. For information on radon testing, contact your local department of public health or a local chapter of the American Lung Association.
· [5]Avoid carcinogens at work. Take precautions to protect yourself from exposure to toxic chemicals at work. In the United States, your employer must tell you if you're exposed to dangerous chemicals in your workplace. Follow your employer's precautions. For instance, if you're given a face mask for protection, always wear it. Ask your doctor what more you can do to protect yourself at work. Your risk of lung damage from these carcinogens increases if you smoke.
· [6]Eat a diet full of fruits and vegetables. Choose a healthy diet with a variety of fruits and vegetables. Food sources of vitamins and nutrients are best. Avoid taking large doses of vitamins in pill form, as there may be unknown harms. For instance, researchers hoping to reduce the risk of lung cancer in heavy smokers gave them beta carotene supplements. Results showed the supplements actually increased the risk of cancer in smokers.
· [7]Drink alcohol in moderation, if at all. Limit yourself to one drink a day if you're a woman or two drinks a day if you're a man. Anyone age 65 and older should drink no more than one drink a day.
· [8]Exercise. Aim to achieve at least 30 minutes of exercise on most days of the week. Check with your doctor first if you aren't already exercising regularly. Start out slowly and continue adding more activity. Biking, swimming and walking are good choices. Add exercise throughout your day — park farther away from work and walk the rest of the way or take the stairs rather than the elevator.

TREATMENT
Treatment for lung cancer depends on the cancer's specific cell type, how far it has spread, and the patient's performance status. Common treatments include surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy.

Health / Free Shoulder Pains Ultrasound Scan In Lagos Nigeria by doctorvic: 5:57pm On Sep 15, 2009
FREE SHOULDER PAINS ULTRASOUND SCAN IN LAGOS NIGERIA


Shoulder pain is an extremely common complaint, and there are many common causes of this problem. It is important to make an accurate diagnosis of the cause of your symptoms so that appropriate treatment can be directed at the cause. If you have shoulder pain, some common causes include:

Bursitis Rotator Cuff Tendonitis:The most common diagnosis in patients with shoulder pain is bursitis or tendonitis of the rotator cuff.

Rotator Cuff Tear:
Rotator cuff tears occur when the tendons of the rotator cuff separate from the bone. Surgery is sometimes necessary for this condition.
Frozen Shoulder:Also called 'adhesive capsuliitis,' this is a common condition that leads to stiffness of the joint. Physical therapy and stretching are extremely important aspects of treatment.
Calcific Tendonitis:Calcific tendonitis is a condition of calcium deposits within a tendon -- most commonly within the rotator cuff tendons. Treatment of calcific tendonitis depends on the extent of symptoms.
Shoulder Instability:Instability is a problem that causes a loose joint. Instability can be caused by a traumatic injury (dislocation), or may be a developed condition.
Shoulder Dislocation:A dislocation is an injury that occurs when the top of the arm bone becomes disconnected from the scapula.
Shoulder Separation:Also called an AC separation, these injuries are the result of a disruption of the acromioclavicular joint. This is a very different injury from a dislocation!
Labral Tear:There are several patterns of a torn labrum and the type of treatment depends on the specific injury.
Arthritis:Shoulder arthritis is less common than knee and hip arthritis, but when severe may require a joint replacement surgery.
Biceps Tendon Rupture:A proximal biceps tendon rupture occurs when the tendon of the biceps muscle ruptures near the joint.

SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS

Inability to carry objects or use the arm
Injury that causes deformity of the joint
Shoulder pain that occurs at night or while resting
Shoulder pain that persists beyond a few days
Inability to raise the arm
Swelling or significant bruising around the joint or arm
Signs of an infection, including fever, redness, warmth

SHOULDER ULTRASOUND SCAN
In patients older than 40 years, the main causes of shoulder pain and/or functional deficit are adhesive capsulitis (frozen shoulder) and impingement and/or rotator cuff disease. Ultrasonography has a proven role in assessing tendons of the rotator cuff.1 This examination is used to identify and classify pathology, and it can help clinicians in making decisions about ongoing management of the condition.
Ultrasonography is well tolerated and cost-effective. Its disadvantages include a long learning curve and reduced sensitivity in patients who are obese or who have severely restricted shoulder movement.

INDICATIONS FOR ULTRASOUND SCANNING OF THE SHOULDER:
1. Suspicion of rotator cuff pathology
a. Full thickness cuff tears
b. Partial thickness tears
c. Tendonitis/tendonosis
d. Calcific Tendonitis
e. Subacromial impingement / bursitis
2. Long Head of Biceps pathology such as tendonitis or tears, subluxation or dislocations.
3. Acromioclavicular Joint pathology such as arthritis, osteolysis and subluxations.
4. Glenohumeral pathologies such as:
a. Glenohumeral arthritis (osteophytes).
b. Glenohumeral effusions.
5. Rarely, labral pathology.
6. Bony lesions such as Hill-Sachs Lesions

TREATMENTS FOR SHOULDER PAIN
The treatment of shoulder pain depends entirely on the cause of the problem. Therefore, it is of utmost importance that you understand the cause of your symptoms before embarking on a treatment program. If you are unsure of your diagnosis, or the severity of your condition, you should seek medical advice before beginning any treatment.
Not all treatments listed here are appropriate for every condition, but may be helpful in your situation.
Rest: The first treatment for many common conditions that cause shoulder pain is to rest the joint, and allow the acute inflammation to subside. It is important, however, to use caution when resting the joint, because prolonged immobilization can cause a frozen shoulder.
Ice and Heat Application: Ice packs and heat pads are among the most commonly used treatments for shoulder pain.
Stretching: Stretching the muscles and tendons that surround the joint can help with some causes of shoulder pain. A good routine should be established
Physical Therapy: Physical therapy is an important aspect of treatment of almost all orthopedic conditions. Physical therapists use different modalities to increase strength, regain mobility, and help return patients to their pre-injury level of activity.
Some specific exercises may help you strengthen the muscles around the joint and relieve some of the pain associated with many conditions.
Anti-Inflammatory Medication: Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory pain medications, commonly referred to as NSAIDs, are some of the most commonly prescribed medications, especially for patients with shoulder pain caused by problems such as arthritis, bursitis, and tendonitis.
Cortisone injections: Cortisone is a powerful medication that treats inflammation, and inflammation is a common problem in patients with shoulder pain. Discuss with your doctor the possible benefits of a cortisone injection for your shoulder pain condition.

Health / That Abortion That Robbed Me Of My Children---[infertility] by doctorvic: 9:47pm On Jul 25, 2009
THAT ABORTION THAT ROBBED ME OF MY CHILDREN---[INFERTILITY]
http://www.joasmedicaldiagnostix.8m.com/cgi-bin/blog/view_post/564736


In my many years of practice of medical ultrasound I have attended to thousands of women suffering from infertility due to many causes including abortion, legal or illegal.

I had this patient, she has being married for over 7 years with no child. She came to me for ultrasound scan test, after the tests, I noticed that the endometrial cavity was thin and fibrosed with evidence of adhesion. I asked her if she had had a miscarriage, she told me that she had never being pregnant since she got married. I now asked her if she had ever being pregnant before she got married, and what happened to her.
That was when she opened up and told me the whole story.
She was a virgin and had this boyfriend, after much pressure from the young man for some closer intimate moments with her, she finally gave in to keep the relationship. They had sex only once, but unfortunately for her she became pregnant.
In an effort to hide it from their parents , since they were not ready to get married yet and were very young, they both agreed to have an abortion.
They went to a clinic [qualified or not we cannot tell], and had the abortion, after that all was well. She separated from the young man , and had never had sex with any other man until she got married.
Now for seven years she could not get pregnant, she thought she was cursed. She had done many tests and all results were normal but no improvement in her situation. Until she came to me and I made my findings.

In this article , I want to assure you that I am not here to talk about pro abortion nor con abortion issues. I am not here to condemn anyone, nor discuss moral issues of abortion. That is not my place. I am only interested in discussing about infertility, the causes, diagnostic tests, treatments especially a simple assisted reproductive technique called Intrauterine Insemination [IUI].

INFERTILITY

Infertility is the inability to conceive after one year of regular, unprotected sexual activity or the inability to carry a pregnancy to term. Infertility primarily refers to the biological inability of a person to contribute to conception. Infertility may also refer to the state of a woman who is unable to carry a pregnancy to full term. There are many biological causes of infertility, some which may be bypassed with medical intervention.
Women who are fertile experience a natural period of fertility before and during ovulation, and they are naturally infertile during the rest of the menstrual cycle. Fertility awareness methods are used to discern when these changes occur by tracking changes in cervical mucus or basal body temperature. If a woman keeps having miscarriages, it is also called infertility. Lots of couples have infertility problems. About a third of the time, infertility can be traced to the woman. In another third of cases, it is because of the man. The rest of the time, it is because of both partners or no cause is found. Women who can get pregnant but are unable to stay pregnant may also be infertile.

Pregnancy is the result of a process that has many steps. To get pregnant:

A woman’s body must release an egg from one of her ovaries (ovulation).
The egg must go through a fallopian tube toward the uterus (womb).
A man's sperm must join with (fertilize) the egg along the way.
The fertilized egg must attach to the inside of the uterus (implantation).
Infertility can happen if there are problems with any of these steps.

There are strict definitions of infertility used by many doctors. However, there are also similar terms, e.g. subfertility for a more benign condition and fecundity for the natural improbability to conceive. Infertility in a couple can be due to either the woman or the man, not necessarily both.


Infertlity
A couple is considered to be infertile if:
the couple has not conceived after 12 months of contraceptive-free intercourse if the female is under the age of 34
the couple has not conceived after 6 months of contraceptive-free intercourse if the female is over the age of 35 (declining egg quality of females over the age of 35 account for the age-based discrepancy as when to seek medical intervention)
the female is incapable of carrying a pregnancy to term.

Subfertility
A couple that has tried unsuccessfully to have a child for a year or more is said to be subfertile meaning less fertile than a typical couple. The couple's fecundability rate is approximately 3-5%. Many of its causes are the same as those of infertility. Such causes could be endometriosis, or polycystic ovarian syndrome.

Primary vs. secondary infertility
Couples with primary infertility have never been able to conceive, while, on the other hand, secondary infertility is difficulty conceiving after already having conceived (and either carried the pregnancy to term, or had a miscarriage). Technically, secondary infertility is not present if there has been a change of partners.

CAUSES

What causes infertility?Infertility may be due to problems in the female, the male or a combination of both. In some cases, the cause is not known.Some common female factors that may cause or contribute to infertility include:


Damage to the fallopian tubes following infection or surgery;

Uterine fibroids;

High levels of the hormone prolactin;

Ovulation problems;

Endometriosis;

Pelvic inflammatory disease;

Galactorhoea (milk leaking from the breasts).

Amennorhoea (absence of periods).

Hostile cervical mucus. This is a condition in which the cervical mucus creates a thick barrier that sperm cannot penetrate.

Sexually transmitted diseases such as chlamydia;

The production of sperm antibodies (when a woman develops antibodies to her partner’s sperm).

Others are

male associated infertility
age-related factors
uterine problems
previous tubal ligation
previous vasectomy
unexplained infertility
Tuberculosis (TB)

Recent research suggests that psychological issues, such as anxiety resulting from a lack of emotional support, can lead to hormonal problems that affect a woman’s fertility.
Male infertility is often caused by a low sperm count or an anatomical abnormality, such as a palpable dilation of veins in the scrotal area known as varicocoele. Other contributing factors can be attributed to how the sperm move (motility), or an abnormal sperm type. A few reasons for low sperm count include prolonged fever or a recent severe illness, excessive alcohol consumption, endocrine disorders, testicular injury and exposure to toxins, radiation or high heat.


Infertility Caused By Abortion

There is a risk of becoming infertile after an abortion, arising from various complications. If you have had a first trimester abortion (in the first 13 weeks) this is done by vacuum suction which can cause perforation of the womb. This is when the womb ruptures and causes internal bleeding. It is life threatening and the surgeon would be required to do additional surgery to repair the damage. Sometimes after this has occurred, the damage to the womb prevents another embryo from attaching. Rupture happens in about 1% of cases, so if 100 women had an abortion, one of them would have this problem.
The main abortion complications that could cause infertility:
90% of abortions are done in the first trimester. However, a late abortion frequently requires a material called laminaria to dilate the cervix. This makes the passage large enough to allow a suction tube to be inserted. The laminaria could weaken the cervix and conceivably cause infertility.
If the physician scrapes too hard, the lower lining of the uterus can be removed. This is extremely rare.
An untreated infection can scar the uterus and cause later fertility problems. The infection rate for first trimester abortions is less than 1%. Most women monitor their body temperature after an abortion to detect if an infection has occurred. Early detection should prevent any problems.
A woman who already have gonorrhea or chlamydia are very likely to suffer pelvic inflammatory disease which causes infertility. They are particularly susceptible to damage from PID after an abortion. This can be avoided by obtaining a STD test before the abortion.
The suction tube can perforate both the uterus and a large blood vessel or intestine. If the latter happens, then surgery may be required. The surgery can cause infertility. Perforation of the uterus is also quite rare. 2
It would seem that if the physician is competent, and the woman monitors her body temperature after the procedure, that the chances of an abortion causing later infertility is quite remote.


DIAGNOSTIC TESTS

[1] Ultrasound Scan

Ultrasound scan is a simple and easy outpatient procedure to examine the internal reproductive organs. It can clearly show the position and size of uterus, endometrial lining and the ovaries. Certain abnormal conditions such as fibroid, double uterus and ovarian cyst can be diagnosed through ultrasound scan alone. In addition, ultrasound scan can be used for the diagnosis of ovulation.
Ultrasound scan appears as a routine practice in the management of infertility, from the initial stages of diagnosis of the cause of infertility, to the eventual confirmation of pregnancy, including routine monitoring of early pregnancy. Ultrasound scan is probably the most important test in investigation of infertility. A well-preformed and detailed ultrasound scan of the female pelvis will give more information than any other single test.

Typically, couples are seen together when diagnosing infertility. The doctor will take a note of the couples' full medical histories and this will be followed by an examination. They will also be asked about the use of prescribed or illegal drugs, alcohol and tobacco, and whether there is a family history of infertility or genetic disorders.
Women can expect questions about their menstrual history, including the age of onset and any difficulties with menstruation. They also will be asked whether they have noticed milk leaking from their breasts.
Women may have to undergo a genital examination, as well as a cervical smear. Blood tests are taken to measure prolactin levels and thyroid function and sometimes to test for certain hormone levels, such as progesterone and oestradiol. A post-coital test, which is similar to a cervical smear, may be required to see if the sperm can penetrate the cervical mucus. Sometimes an ultrasound scan of the pelvis is taken to check for fibroids in the uterine cavity. A laparoscopy also may be performed, in which a lighted camera is passed through a hole in the abdomen to look at the pelvic structures. Occasionally, a hysteroscopy is required, in which a thin, lighted tube is passed into the uterus to directly examine it.
Men will be required to provide a semen analysis. They must abstain from sexual intercourse for three days before providing the sample. If the initial sample is abnormal, another will be required. The volume of semen, the sperm count, how the sperm move (motility), as well as the presence of immature sperm are checked. If the second sample is abnormal, your doctor may advise the man to have a genetic blood test is performed to make sure that there are no chromosomal abnormalities or defective genes that could be passed on to potential offspring. Blood tests also may be taken to determine levels of testosterone.


TREATMENT
Increasing your chances naturallyIf you have been having trouble conceiving do not give up hope, as spontaneous pregnancy may occur on its own. In many cases, couples are simply not having enough sex at the right time to conceive. To increase the chance of getting pregnant, intercourse should take place around the time of ovulation.
For women with a regular 28-day cycle, ovulation occurs around day 13-15. Women with irregular periods will find it more difficult to pinpoint their most fertile time. Some over-the-counter tests can help you determine the best time to conceive, although no products are guaranteed to be 100% accurate. Indications for ovulation include a rise in body temperature and a thinning of the cervical mucus. A female egg lives only twelve hours, however sperm can survive in the female genitals for close to 72 hours. Sperm that are waiting in the female genitals can immediately fertilise the eggs once ovulation begins so you will increase your chances by having regular sex for a few days before ovulation. Lubricants that contain spermicides, such as K-Y Jelly, should be avoided.
In situations where a woman develops antibodies to her partner’s sperm, the use of a condom for thirty days may allow time for the antibodies to decrease and intercourse should then take place during ovulation.
Infertility drugsIf timing intercourse around ovulation does not work, a general physician may then prescribe various courses of treatment, such as stimulating ovulation with a drug called Clomiphene. Side effects include hot flushes, vaginal dryness and ovarian cyst formation. The number of eggs that you release cannot be controlled precisely so there is a chance that several eggs could be released at once thereby increasing your risk of multiple pregnancyOther drug treatments include the use of either Bromocriptine or Cabergoline, which act to reduce the levels of prolactin. Check with your general physician about possible side effects of any drug prescribed.
What about assisted reproduction techniques?
There are several ways of bringing sperm and egg together to achieve fertilisation.
The most commonly performed procedures areIUI [Intrauterine Insemination], IVF (In vitro fertilisation) and ICSI (Intra cytoplasmic sperm injection).

INTRAUTERINE INSEMINATION
If you're having trouble getting pregnant, your doctor may recommend an intrauterine insemination (IUI) -- a relatively noninvasive and inexpensive way to boost your chances of conceiving.
With an IUI, your partner provides a sperm sample at home or in the doctor's office on the same day of the insemination. Then, his sperm are "washed" -- that is, the sperm are separated from the semen and concentrated; the washing also cleanses the sperm of potentially hazardous chemicals that could harm the uterus. The resulting liquid is placed in a thin soft tube and injected high into your uterus. This positions the sperm much closer to the fallopian tubes, where it will have to be for one of them to fertilize an egg.

If you don't have a male partner, or if your partner is unable to produce viable sperm, you can undergo the same procedure using frozen sperm purchased from a sperm bank.
The procedure takes only a few minutes. You may experience mild cramping, but it's usually brief and you can resume your activities immediately afterward.
Am I a good candidate for IUI?
The procedure works well for many women under 45 with certain fertility problems (whose partners have viable sperm), and for those in the same age group without male partners who are trying to get pregnant using donated sperm. Some infertility groups say it is less likely to work if women are over 42 or even 40. It's a common treatment for women who have ovulation problems or unexplained infertility, or whose partners have low sperm counts, poorly shaped sperm, or problems with sperm motility (ability to travel).
IUI is particularly appropriate when the woman has been prescribed clomiphene citrate (Clomid or Serophene) to stimulate ovulation, since this medication can result in cervical mucous that is thick and difficult for the sperm to swim through.
Fertility specialists don't usually advise women who have blocked fallopian tubes, severe tubal damage, or very poor egg quality to try IUI. They are also unlikely to suggest this treatment if a man has more than a mild problem with his sperm quality. It's standard to have a thorough fertility workup, including an evaluation for hormonal imbalances, infections, or blockages, before trying IUI.
Single women, couples where the man has no viable sperm, and lesbian couples using donor sperm are also good candidates for intrauterine insemination. Because donor sperm is often frozen and a woman's chances of getting pregnant are reduced using frozen -- as opposed to fresh -- sperm, IUI is a relatively easy way to boost the odds. It's more effective, say doctors, than using a plastic syringe to position the sperm on the cervix, a procedure known as intracervical insemination (ICI) that women generally do at home.
Will I need to take fertility drugs?
IUI is timed to occur in the most fertile period of your cycle, or ovulation. In some cases, women receive intrauterine inseminations without having to take drugs. Although there's no universal agreement, many fertility specialists feel women have a better chance of getting pregnant if they combine IUI with a drug that stimulates the ovaries to produce mature eggs. If you are having ovulation problems, your doctor may have you take an ovulation-stimulating drug, such as clomiphene, for several weeks before doing the IUI.
If you are injected with ovarian stimulation drugs, your doctor will need to monitor you carefully with blood tests and ultrasounds beginning on the sixth day of your cycle. Women taking these drugs are at risk of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS), a rare but potentially life-threatening condition marked by abnormal swelling of the ovaries and fluid collection in the abdomen.
What are the other risks of IUI?
Complications of IUI are infrequent, according to fertility experts. Besides the risks of combined IUI and fertility drug treatment, they include infection and the possibility of venereal disease. To lessen the risk of disease, fertility clinics should quarantine all frozen specimens of sperm for 180 days and retest the donor for HIV before releasing the sperm, according to the American Society of Reproductive Medicine. Although some fertility clinics offer fresh donor sperm, the society recommends against its use.
How long will it take to get pregnant?
Specialists recommend from three to six cycles of IUI before you consider moving to a more invasive or expensive treatment, such as in vitro fertilization (IVF).

IVF is only considered in special cases and is not suitable for everyone. In vitro candidates are women who have experienced pelvic disease, endometriosis or unexplained infertility. The process involves an intensive programme of hormonal treatments and harvesting of the eggs. The eggs are then mixed with sperm in a laboratory, (typically 1000,000 sperm to one egg to allow one or more embryos to form) after which the embryo is transferred to the uterus. The success rate varies, although the average is about 20-30%.

ICSI is often done if the sperm count is low or if sperm are unable to fertilise an egg. One sperm is injected directly into the centre (nucleus) of one egg using a very fine needle. In some circumstances if sperm cannot be obtained from semen they can be taken straight out of the testicles under an anaesthetic. This procedure is known as TESA (testicular sperm aspiration). ICSI has an average success rate of 35-40%.

GIFT (Gamete Intra-fallopian transfer) is less commonly used but is sometimes performed if there are cervical barriers to conception. IUI (Inta uterine insemination) where the sperm are flushed into the uterus via the cervix by means of a fine catheter is also occasionally done.

Can complementary therapies help?
Herbs that may enhance sexual functioning in men include damiana, ginseng, sarsaparilla and saw palmetto. Damiana, dong quai, ginseng, gotu kola and wild yam root may enhance sexual function in women. Most of these herbs are available in tablet form from health food shops but you should consult a qualified herbalist and check with your GP before taking them.


As anxiety may contribute to infertility, incorporate stress management techniques into your daily routine.
The importance of preconceptual careIf you are trying to get pregnant, regardless of the method, you should drink only in moderation, do not smoke and avoid any drugs other than those prescribed by your physician. Exercise only lightly and avoid hot tubs and saunas, as they may lead to a lowered sperm count or changes in ovulation. Be sure to get plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables into your daily diet, as they contain folic acid, which helps prevent neural tube defects in the baby. Maintain an appropriate body weight, as being over- or underweight can affect fertility. Also, make sure you receive a rubella vaccination if you have not already had one. It is important to note that pregnancy should be avoided for three months after a rubella immunisation.

Nairaland / General / The Scorge Of Fibroids by doctorvic: 9:28am On Apr 29, 2009
THE SCORGE OF FIBROIDS


Hi all,

This is Victor, I am a Consultant Clinical Specialist Radiographer[Ultrasounds], with over 15 years post qualification experience, I have worked as a sonographer in Nigeria for over 14 years, presently I live and work in The Republic of Ireland [though temporarily]as a sonographer

I have decided to start writing into my blogs to communicate with my entire community. Where we can share experiences and relate better on different issues, not just medical , but general issues.

I know that many of my colleagues are on my page, so I will not be shooting offline always because you are there to put me straight and correct me always. Remember no man is an island. I could also give the wrong information by error, so we can work together to give the right information to the world.





My topic today is for the general online community, but specially for the Nigerian online community, because this is an issue that affect us seriously.

Today I will be writing about fibroids. Uterine fibroids are benign tumours, which grow from the muscle layers of the womb. They are the most common benign tumours in female, often asymptomatic, they cause symptoms in about 25% of white and 50% of black women.

Fibroids are named according to where they are found. There are four types

[1] INTRAMURAL FIBROIDS are found in the walls of the womb and are the most common type of fibroids.

[2] SUBSEROSAL FIBROIDS are found growing outside the walls of the womb and can become very large. They can also grow on stalks [called pendunculate fibroids]

[3] SUBMUCOSAL FIBROIDS are found in the muscle beneath the inner lining of the womb walls

[4] CERVICAL FIBROIDS are found in the walls of the cervix [neck of the wombs].



In rare cases, fibroids can turn cancerous







SYMPTOMS


Symptoms relate to the location of the fibroids and its size. Important symptoms include abnormal gynaecologic haemorrhage[bleeding], heavy or/and painful periods, abdominal discomfort or bloating, back ache, urinary frequency or retention, and in some cases infertility. There may also be pain during intercourse depending on the location of the fibroids.

During pregnancy they maybe the cause of miscarriage, bleeding, premature labour, or interference with the position of the fetus.







DIAGNOSIS


Diagnosis is usually accomplished by bimanual examination, better yet by gynaecologic ultrasonography[SCAN], magnetic resonance imaging[MRI] and laparascopy. Fibroids can also be diagnosed during HSG examination.







TREATMENTS


[1] Surgery [a] hysteroscopic myomectomy [b] laparoscopic myomectomy [c] laparotomic myomectomy.

[2] Uterine artery Embolization [UAE]

[3] Magnetic Resonance Guided Focused Ultrasound [HIFU]







Fibroids are very serious issues in Nigeria where I practiced for over 14years. Fibroids became a real issue in Nigeria after the death of popular MEE Mofe-Damijo in 1996 from post surgical complications from removal of fibroids. I was a very young sonographer at that time and I attended to thousands of women and up till this day fibroids is still a big issue.

I have being opportuned to have travelled to 4 continents in the world [Africa, Asia, Middle East, and Europe] and worked in Africa and Europe as a specialist sonographer, fibroids still remain an issue though much more in Africa. It is also a big business, good pay for the surgeon and also good money to traditional healers.

I have no problems with traditional healers and alternative medical practitioners, but what I believe is that some of them should give true information to the patients.

I have attended to so many women in Nigeria who have visited some of these alternative medical practitioners and they claimed to be able to give them some concoction that will make these women to excrete these fibroids, to me this is not fair , for years I have followed these women and I must confess non received any so called cure.

I am not against anyone taking any form of cure she wants whether orthodox or traditional, but safety should come first, NAFDAC must confirm that these concoction are safe for human consumption.

I also noticed that some of the concoction given to these women with fibroids/infertility problems are the same ones given to women with general infertility problems. From the numerous scans I did on this issue in Nigeria I noticed that their ovaries produce multiple mature follicles than usual, which shows that these drugs contain some natural hormonal substances that stimulate the ovaries and help the infertile women to get pregnant.

If such drugs are given to women with fibroids, these could lead to increase in the size of the fibroids. While these women are looking to reduce the size of the fibroids, the administered concoction increases the size [Please be careful]. These concoction have also being known to lead to kidney failure.



I want to advise clearly that any woman with fibroids should not get stressed, if there is no threatening symptoms, be relaxed, don’t go running up and down and get duped.

If you are an infertility patient with known fibroids, don’t always assume that the fibroids are the problem, do tests to checkout your fallopian tubes, ovarian functions, sperm tests etc [Ask your gynaecologist for further information]. If you are having excessive bleeding or the fibroids are very large make sure you see your doctor, surgery is best in this instance, because the fibroids can twist, or compress the ureters and give renal problems.



I want to specially talk to Consultant radiologists in Nigeria, Uterine Artery Embolization[UAE] is relatively cheap and very effective treatment for fibroids. It only needs an X-ray fluoroscopy unit, which is available in some centres in Nigeria.

I have known women in Nigeria who paid as much as N200000 for traditional cure of fibroids and they are getting no results.

Uterine Artery Embolization is known to have worked , I have attended to some women in Europe that have done it and have seen the fibroid masses shrink, saving the women the complication of surgery.

I recommend that Nigerian radiologists should come to Europe and learn these skills, the Nigerian women need it, they will be saved from the complication of unnecessary surgeries, and drinking of strange concoctions from some strange healers .
