The Fiji Ministry of Health recently reported 61 cases of the severe bacterial infection, leptospirosis, since the beginning of the year, according to a local media report.

The cases are reported two months after Tropical Cyclone Winston hit the island and two weeks after Tropical Cyclone Zena passed southeast of Fiji, causing torrential rains that triggered major flooding.

Leptospirosis is caused by a corkscrew-shaped bacterium called Leptospira interrogans, is often referred to as “rat fever” due to the principal role rats play in spreading the disease (scientists refer this type of animal as a reservoir host).

Other animals can also be important reservoirs of the disease.

These animals can spread the disease in their urine, contaminating water, soil, or food.

People who live in close contact with domestic animals or wildlife are at higher risk for getting the disease.

People become infected by coming into contact with contaminated urine, water, food, or soil through breaks in the skin, eyes, mouth, or nose.

Outbreaks of leptospirosis are usually caused by exposure to contaminated water, such as floodwaters. Person to person transmission is rare. Infected individuals initially experience fever, severe headache and muscle aches, abdominal pain, and occasionally a skin rash.

Patients in the later stages of disease can suffer from jaundice, kidney failure, bleeding from the mouth or nose, bloody urine and can be fatal, especially without proper treatment.

Let's face it—there's a lot that can go wrong below the belt. From itches and odors to bumps and bleeding, sometimes it seems like you need a manual. So we consulted the experts for nine common vagina problems and how to deal—fast!

You Noticed a Weird Bump

Who wouldn't freak out after seeing a lump or mark on their privates? This could be so many things, but it's likely not serious, says ob-gyn Alyssa Dweck, M.D., coauthor of V is for Vagina. It could be anything from an ingrown hair to a sebaceous cyst (a lesion under the skin), says Dweck. Warm soaks are a good first line of defense, but you can also apply a little over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream if it seems inflamed, she says. If it persists or hurts, check with your doctor as it may be a sign of an infection.

There's a Funky Smell

If there's an odor coming from your bikini line, trust us, you'll know something is up. The problem is, this smell could have a ton of possible causes, but you'll want to see your doctor no matter what. If it's a foul-smelling discharge, it could be a bacterial infection like bacterial vaginosis or trichomoniasis, says ob-gyn Mary Jane Minkin, M.D. In that case, you may need antibiotics to treat it. Another common culprit when it comes to odor is a forgotten tampon or a stuck condom, says Dweck. Yes, it's more common than you think, and your nose will definitely notice it. Don't worry, your doctor can help fish it out.

You're Bleeding, and It's Not Your Period

If you're randomly spotting, it could just be a hormonal imbalance from a missed birth control pill, though persistent spotting is something to bring up with your doctor as it may be a sign of infection, pregnancy, or a polyp on your cervix. If the bleeding happens after sex or comes with a discharge, it could be an STD so you'll want your doctor to test for gonorrhea and chlamydia, says Dweck. Of course, if it was just one time after particularly rough sex, it's probably nothing to worry about, she says.

You're Itchy

Feel like there are ants in your pants? A recurrent itch, particularly with discharge, could be a sign of a yeast infection or bacterial vaginosis, says Minkin. But if you've tried treating all that and still can't get rid of the itch, it could be a simple skin reaction to something like your soap, a feminine wash, or even your detergent. Minkin notes that she often gets an influx of itch-related visits around Christmas when everyone tries out the new bath salts and designer soaps that they got in their stockings.

You've Got a Weird Discharge

As you can probably guess by now, an unusual discharge can accompany tons of different issues. But don't panic if this is a monthly thing; "Most women have a physiological baseline discharge that's supposed to be there," says Dweck. But if you notice a change in color, consistency, or odor, bring it up with your doctor.

It Hurts to Pee or Have Sex

Vaginal or vulva pain could be a sign of infection or STD, says Dweck, so you'll want to check with your doctor if the feeling persists for more than day or two. If the pain just happened once or twice after sex, it may have been from dryness—grab some lube and see if it makes a difference.

You're Feeling a Little Numb Down Below

Well, that's certainly not supposed to happen... But Dweck says she often sees this in patients who bike a lot or take frequent indoor cycling classes. If that's you, make sure to invest in a nice, padded seat and read these tips to avoid cycling pain below the belt (http://www.betterhealth.com.ng/2016/04/when-cycling-hurts-your-vagina.html).

You're So Dry

Vaginal dryness may seem like something only older women experience, but it doesn't discriminate as much as you think. In fact, dryness can creep up after pregnancy or if you're taking certain medications like antihistamines or antidepressants, says Minkin. If you're feeling dryer than the Sahara, try an over-the-counter lubricant or see your doctor if it that doesn't help.

You Feel a Deep Pain

Deeper vaginal pain, especially during sex, could be a sign of endometriosis or an ovarian cyst. Your doctor may perform a pelvic exam or ultrasound to look for the cause.

Read what he says below:

Every time I meet a beautiful woman she wants to become my friend -- not my girlfriend. Next thing you know she's off dating some arrogant, a-hole, jerk. What am I doing wrong? I'm good looking. I've got a great job. I own my own home. I'm generous. I'm thoughtful. I'm kind, and I am so sick of hearing "really such a nice guy, BUT...."! I'm the great catch, but feel like I'm the loser. Please help!

Tell your wife the real reason why you want her sent away. As a pastor, you shouldn't have lied about this...also seems to me that you are enjoying the whole experience.

Read this Advice on What a Man's Dog Says About Him--And Means to You

Sporting Dogs -- If your date owns a sporting dog, like a Lab, he's the kind of guy who wants a dog who's "on it" and not going to sleep through anything. This means your date is "on it" and wants to have people around him who are on point and up to speed. He's not going to go for a dumbie to date -- maybe to sleep with, but not for any length of time or meaningful relationship. He wants a girlfriend or a wife who is not just intelligent, but socially aware and able to multitask. If you're looking for a guy who knows what time it is and what he wants from his life, then you're in for a sweet time. This guy will love to have sex often.

Hound Dogs -- A man who owns a hound-dog can throw you for a loop unless you figure out if he owns his Beagle or Bloodhound because he likes it's unique underdog appearance, or because he wants a dog that is truly great at hunting and scenting. If your guy is the kind who likes the underdog appearance, he's going to be super sweet and sympathetic. He may not be a go-getter Type A, and may be more of a laid back fellow. If, however, he chose his Hound for it's traditional hounding instincts, then he's a hunter of his own, and he's going to be thinking what you're thinking before you even thought of it. Sex with a hound dog owner who has his hound for it's instincts, is going to be "out of the box" and all about instinct and going deeper into your combined sexuality. Sex with a hound dog owner who chose his hound for it's appearance will be sweet, gentle and sentimental.

Working Dogs -- Like Akitas and Great Danes are mostly about show. Unless your man actually uses the dog for work, he's got these great looking dogs because he cares about how he looks, and he'll care about how you look -- in bed and out of it. Sex will be something he'll want regularly and he'll want the kind of sex he can feel good about. He won't want anything too crazy because he wants to feel like he's in charge. He'll also care more about his needs than yours in bed.

Terriers -- Terriers are all about personality. A man who likes Terriers will be very understanding of any PMS mood swings you may have -- and if yours are tough, this is the guy who will tolerate those times. But understand this is also the guy who doesn't mind chaos and noise, so if you like things calm, this isn't the guy for you in the long run. However, if you like lots of friends and family around -- and children -- then you'll have a great time with this guy. And in bed, he'll be vocal about what he likes, doesn't like, and what you like and don't like. This guy doesn't hold back, and doesn't expect or want you to, either.

Toy dogs -- These dogs are all about cute. A man who owns a toy dog is pretty unusual because traditionally, these are dogs that women pick. However, if your guy owns a toy dog, he's either very secure in who he is -- or he has a really small apartment, and this is the only dog that will be able to live there -- in which case he's the kind of guy who makes lemonade out of lemons. He doesn't see size as a problem. He works around it. This kind of guy is unique, self-sufficient, and he'll want to be with someone equally unique and understanding of problems as obstacles -- not road blocks. In bed, anything goes -- but don't expect things to get too down and dirty.

Non-Sporting dogs -- Dalmatians and Poodles are dogs with distinctive personalities -- they like what they like when they like it -- and so do their owners. While these dog owners care about lifestyle -- they're not all that "go-with-the-flow", if you are compatible in wanting to live the same lifestyle they do -- they'll make a commitment to you quicker than you can say, Down, boy! But forget about being on top in bed. These guys are dominant, and they want to be in charge in bed.

Herding dogs -- Collies and German Shepherd owners are men with classic lifestyles and values. You won't find any surprises with these guys. While they may have frat-boy mentalities that mellow with age, they're still boys in men's bodies. If you want a traditional relationship, then this man is for you. As for sex, he'll like you on top for a change, just as much as he wants to be on top, and he's more visual, sexually, than other dog owners, so load up on great lingerie -- he'll appreciate it! =>> https://www.facebook.com/Pafegs

Mafia Advice

It is clear that she has a problem herself.

She complained about his Big-size, She complained about him lasting long, She complained about him trying out a new sex position, She complained about him doing pre-intimacy(she calls it deceit)...She has even made up her mind to end the affair.

Well, good for the guy. He will get a compatible mate who will like this qualities she hates.

Good post. Everyone should experience Love.

She wants to know...this is what a friend asked me.

I've been with dating a man for a few months now and so far have caught him in a few lies. He's lied about some of his past accomplishments, how much money he makes, and the kind of car he drives. I even think he's lying about how much he likes me so that I'll continue seeing him (and sleeping with him!). Why would a man lie? And do you have any tips for how I can actually catch him lying?

In this article, you’ll get to know some of the things you may not already know about this feeling called love.

And after reading these interesting and thought-provoking ideas about love and relationships, feel free to share your own tips.

1. It Can Be Hard to Talk about Love in Scientific Terms: The vision of love that emerges from the latest science requires a radical shift. Dr. Frederickson learned to ask people to leave love as they knew it to consider it from a different perspective: their body’s perspective. Love is not romance, sexual desire, or that special bond you feel with family or significant others. And perhaps most challenging of all, love is neither lasting nor unconditional. The radical shift we need to make is this: love, as your body experiences it, is a micro-moment of connection shared with another.

2. Love Is Not Exclusive: We tend to think of love and loved ones at the same time, and perhaps as even the same thing. When you take these to be only your circle of family and friends, you inadvertently limit opportunities for health, growth and well-being. You can experience micro-moments of connection and positivity with anyone — whether with your soul mate or a stranger. You can love far more, and far more often, than you thought.

3. Love Doesn’t Belong to One Person: We tend to think of emotions as private events, confined to one person’s mind and skin. Upgrading our view of love to Love 2.0 leaves that perspective behind. Evidence suggests that when you really “click” with someone else, a discernible yet momentary synchrony emerges between the two of you, as your gestures and biochemistries, even your respective neural firings, come to mirror one another in a pattern Dr. Frederickson calls “positivity resonance.” Love is “a biological wave of good feeling and mutual care that rolls through two or more brains and bodies at once.”

4. Making Eye Contact Is a Key Gateway for Love: Your body has the built-in ability to “catch” the emotions of those around you, making your prospects for love — defined as micro-moments of positivity resonance — nearly limitless. As hopeful as this sounds — wouldn’t limitless love be great? — Dr. Frederickson also noted that people often short-circuit this natural ability by not making eye contact with the other person. Meeting eyes is a key gatekeeper to neural synchrony.

5. Love Fortifies the Connection between Your Brain and Your Heart Health: Decades of research show that people who are more socially connected live longer and healthier lives. Yet precisely how social ties affect health has remained one of the great mysteries of science. Dr. Frederickson’s research team learned that when they made a random group of people learn ways to create more of these micro-moments of love in their daily lives, they lastingly improved the function of the vagus nerve, a key conduit that connects the brain to the heart. This discovery provides a new window into how micro-moments of love serve as nutrients for your health.

6. Your Immune Cells Reflect Your past Experiences of Love: Too often, you get the message that your future prospects hinge on your DNA. Yet the ways that your genes get expressed at the cellular level depends mightily on many factors, including whether you consider yourself to be socially connected or chronically lonely. Dr. Frederick’s team is now investigating the cellular effects of love, testing whether people who build more micro-moments of love in daily life also build healthier immune cells. It is possible that changing your daily habits can affect these fundamental aspects of your physiology.

7. Small Emotional Moments Can Have Large Biological Effects: Are you surprised that a micro-moment can have any lasting effect on your health and longevity? Dr. Frederickson has learned that there’s an “upward spiral between your social and your physical well-being.” A positive feedback loop, as it were, where each new level of health increases your own ability to love more, and in turn be healthier.

8. Take Good Care of a Loving Marriage: Dr. Frederickson’s own perspective on love changed during the course of writing her book about love. Far from being a single, steady thing, she began to see love as the consequence of all of these micro-moments of bonding and synchrony — one that can only continue if they continue to generate those micro-bonding moments. This approach makes daily maintenance of the relationship all the more important.

9. Love and Compassion Can Be the Same: One important aspect of this re-imagining of love as micro-moments of connection, is divorcing it from necessarily positive feelings. They may well be positive, but a compassionate moment with a loved one who is stressed, in pain or upset is no less of a bond, no less of a moment. Love still consists of positive moments, but does not require the absence of the negative.

10. Upgrade Your View of Love to 2.0: The latest science offers new lenses through which to see your every interaction. The people Dr. Frederickson interviewed for her book shared moving stories about how they used these micro-moments of positivity and connection to make big changes in their personal personal and work lives. One of the best practices you can learn from this research is that when people take just a minute or so each day to think about whether they felt connected and attuned to others (and how they did), they began to reap the benefits of Love 2.0. You could start doing this today, having learned even just this much more about how love works.

Create a plan than will lead him to catching her red handed. Do it in such a way that he will not know what he is being led to...this way there will be no denials and counter accusations from the wife... And nothing will boomerang on you.

Corazon Kwamboka is the Kenyan Lawyer that has been trending because of her voluptuous body. I see it at as hot in some ways but then her dress sense seems to fall short...wearing same type of dress. Is it that women with this type of Body cannot have a variety of dress styles? or is it just her that has got poor style?

See the video with her different poses and judge http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aw0g_7YzkUM

Eat from the Word as if your life depends on it.

Please stop sharing your Adultery story to a generation that should not be encouraged - cos they are doing badly already. I advice that you teach your daughter the legacy and spare the Public your shamefullness

Yes, diff btw the two are Outlined here ⇒http://www.pafegs.com/love-vs-lust/ but that's not the Point. I have seen situations where female friends claim they are in love with A and can even resist his sexual advances, but with mr B who they clearly know they dont love, it is something else...they cant resist advances from him...they give it to him at the slightest opportunity, even at odd and embarassing places.

A friend even caught his sophisticated gal friend(daughter of a chief judge) doing it with their dirty houseboy when he simply got into the house after his knocks on the door was unattended to.

Another dude told how he coudnt keep his hands off a coleague and liked to spend time with her more than his fiancee. And when I advised that he should marry her, he said he didn't love her, and even said " ah, my babe means everything to me . I love her die!"

Abi, what other explanation Can there be for a woman who loves her husband but is Caught sleeping with a total stranger she met at the mall less than 30 Mims after they met?

This real life stories and clips in movies has gotten me believe that there is more strength and Passion to Lust in respect of the Subject matter. But I have had arguments with some pals, that's why I want the opinions of Nairalanders.

spongeback: For me my dad over did the protection thingy, he used to take my phone at night and he will keep it till the next morning, if he sees me with a guy the way he will embarrass you! •

If You have chopped Plenty banana, Imagine what You would have done if the man had not shifted into higher gear... Bad girl Kawai!

'Protection' doesnt always work, so they add the 'Over-Protection.'

DonCrust: Is this question necessary? If you've ever been in love, you should know that blood (love) is thicker that water (lost)

It;s very necessary my friend. And am not asking which is thicker? Let me make it simpler for you? Which one dey make us loss sense pass? Maybe you should also Watch Unfaithful

Which one of the two robs a man of his natural strength and defenses more than the other?
