Wow! I like what you are doing here. Well done. I might have questions too. Will tell you when it's time.

You are wowing to a post that simply mixed half-information with some mumbo jumbo about what he doesn't know about. Beware. That is how they go around deceiving you people with big grammer

Bebetter:
I don't want to assume that they've not gone to see a doctor for this. But when they see a very good dermatologist, i believe the diagnosis will be able to tell what it actually is before they start trying random treatments. I think, if anyone knows a very good dermatologist, they should just recommend here and send the number to the OP. Regards.

Exactly. I am not in the country and I dunno where they are, but if he want me to, I can try and link him up with a good rheumatologist or dermatologist in the East

KOPT55:
I am a stupid person, yes. However, when I want solution to medical issues I find my way to a hospital and let experts do what they trained to do for many years.

My stupidity does not lead me to ask a teeming horde of medically ignorant persons for recommendations.

If the greatest reach of your wisdom is condoning the solicitation of medical advise from untrained persons then you're the Solomon of our times.

How I wish I could like your post like 100 times

Bebetter:
It's called PSORIASIS. I have a friend who developed it a few years ago. @Mancity26


It's not transferrable between individuals or infectious to another person. It is caused by a recessive gene/hormone inherited in some people which when triggered to active state by several factors, results to this disease. It is incurable but it can be treated and greatly reduced.

please research more on this and you will get the real treatment. Regards.

That is not psoriasis. Psoriasis is characterised by a silvery white surface, which bleed when you peel it (Autspiz sign). Look up CREST syndrome (limited scleroderma) and diffuse scleroderma

Mancity26:
Good day my fellow Nairalanders.
Please I visited my friend few days back and I saw his younger sister hand with strange bacteria infection or let me say strange sickness. I asked them if they have treated it and they said they said she has been under treatment for years just because of the hand. She use special soap and she don't touch other detergent just because of the hand.
Attached are some of the pictures of her hand. Please any recommendations will be nice.
Mods, Please push to front page

Please, I think she has CREST-Scleroderma syndrome. Best thing for her, look for a government hospital, ask for a referral to see a RHEUMATOLOGIST (it is an autoimmune disease), if that one is not possible, then she should at least look for a DERMATOLOGIST.
It is bad that you came to Nairaland to get medical advice from ignorant people like you. Look for a professional, however while you are at it, Google CREST syndrome and educate yourself.
If you so wish, write me a mail and I can direct you to a rheumatologist, just that I dunno where you are.

Note-Treatment for years is not commensurate to the doctor having the diagnosis right. Fact is, it is an uncommon diagnosis so MOST wouldn't have come across it, except in the textbook. It is not a common diagnosis to be made in Nigeria, except like I stated, a specialist. I won't be surprised if she has been on antibiotics since then. I won't want you to start going to a chemist for medications, so I wouldn't drop anything. Just take my advice and see a specialist

Yes boss. All thanks to God.

Which school, which level?

Effiezynews:
She should get married and get sexually active. My 34 year old virgin friend experienced the same. Life can sometimes be unfair.

It is not about sexual activity, but giving birth. Giving birth causes a deprivation of estrogen which the fibroids depends on for growth. Infact, you don't expect fibroid to continue growing after menopause, cos estrogen level fall. The more you give birth, the lesser your risk. I am not asking you to go and born a village though.
Take note of the following risk factors for fibroid
-Delayed age of child birth.
-Early menarche (first menses)
-Late menopause (both increases the exposure of your uterus to estrogen)
-African/being black
-Family history

A pity your friend had it, but it is not about her being a virgin or not. Just look at the risk factors I just listed and you would get your answer

jobbitto:
Good morning good doctors in the house.

I have been a member of nairaland for a while seeing people post problems and get solution instantly in this forum.

So my friend is facing a challenge of stomach upset and swollen stomach. She is scared that she has fibroil and she is a virgin.

My question is, can a virgin contract fibroid disease. If yes, please whats the solution?


Thank you.

My dear, fibroid is not a disease that is contacted. It is simply an abnormal (benign and non-cancerous) growth of the muscle cells that make your uterus/womb. Another thing, it has nothing to do with virginity. In fact, a woman not haven't given birth (not directly virginity) is a risk factor for fibroids,which is why it is common among nuns. Others include delayed childbearing, being a black woman, family history etc.

My best advice, see your doctor. Fibroid is not a death sentence. Dont play with your health though. Just like someone stated, I don't think your friend has fibroids. It might be an ovarian cyst or something else. SEE YOUR DOCTOR, PREFERABLY A GYNAECOLOGIST

not everybody is privileged to get scholarships, but i didnt like the fact that those who already had one kept jostling for more with those who were indigent and didnt have, using the money to buy luxury goods...it wasn't fair and just plain greed

I would agree with you halfway, especially for people who wasted the scholarship monies on parties, phones and tech. However, their are very few who actually channelers the money to academic pursuits. I have a friend who used the money to run his PLAB, he saved it up from year 3. He was on three scholarships.

Thewhizzkid1:
I know what it takes to study medicine...I know how hard it is to study medicine...I know that one is not allowed to move on if one doesn't pass one's national medical examination in one's fourth year in medical school...I know the stress of practising medicine even after graduation...I know that 70% of the doctors(including my uncle) I meet will not advice me to study medicine....I know that being a doctor is virtually the toughest and most challenging profession except the military.. But I know I can study medicine and surgery...Not because of the money involved or the respect they get, but just because I love it...I love anything medical...I chose medicine because it is the best medical profession...I pray I will fulfill my dreams...PRAY FOR ME...Anyway, I applied to study medicine this year at AAU, Ekpoma...Post utme results are not yet out but I'm believing on God for the best..Still need coaching and prayers from my ogas and madams at the top..Thanks..

Were you successful? Hope you are a medical student now?

tunsmart:
For your embryology, I will advise to steer clear of those saddler and the likes, they are geared towards making embryology seem like rocket science, try out the embryology by Indebir Singh, u can thank me later. The textbook will let u realise that embryology is the simplest aspect of Anatomy, and you will actually understand what you are reading. That said, you have the other textbooks for the remaining courses spot on, avoid sembuligam, use more ganong, guyton to supplement you, make Keith more ur go to textbook for Anatomy, but if u really want to know your onions, you must read the rest, Chaurasia and Gray. Best of Luck in your fledgling Medical career

Indian books are good when it comes to simplifying things. However when it comes too actual knowledge that would help you if you really want to be good, forget them. Saddler is hard to study like Ganong, Last anatomy etc, but once you are able to tune your brain to their frequency, trust me you would not regret it.
I am writing an international exam currently, and Saddler has been on incredible help to me. I don't even have to study it much again, cos I immersed and grilled myself in it during my undergraduate days. Don't regret it a bit. If you really want to practice 21st century medicine, Saddler is a basic book for you

ClarissaXX:
Can you just get out ?

asuustrike2009:
I have attended many of these programs so I know what am saying. Sex education at taught in most schools and churches. It is not wrong to teach sex but it shouldn't be on a particular day. There are other days to teach it. It can even be a sermon

Is every day not particular? Where should you choose to spend valentine, if you practice it, in the beer parlour? Better I draw someone to church on that day, than leave the chap to go and waste away that day.

In as much as you think you think Feb 14th isn't a 'particular' day, don't exclude it. Everyday is important for people to be brought to God and taught how things should be done and how a Christian marriage can be made stronger.

I gats sleep, bro. I got a long day ahead of me in the morning. It is my birthday today, so I gotta stay refreshed.

Caseless:
to justify stupidity, you had to claim it is also done in the north by Muslims.

Muslims organizing or'garsm crusade in the mosque is what you've been told happen here in the north?


If they have a way of covering their own, isn't it better that way? Must you commit sin and grandstand in front of God?

Sometimes, we commit sins and God covers our track. Why do we have to make it open again?

A scholar once told me: God don't like fornication. When we indulge in it and he keeps it away from public - then we throw favor away by coming to public to tell or show how we've done it is what irritates God even more.

Muslims who do it and don't brag about it are doing the right thing.

Why do you chose to take my words out of context? Did I type that Muslims organise Sex-valentine gatherings in the mosque? Didn't you see where I said the environment is more restricted? I said the practice of having sex outside marriage, especially by youths is not tied down to one's religion. It is a personal issue. Fornication has nothing to do with whether you are Christian, Muslim, Hindi, ATR. Just like stuff like stealing, lying is universal. Some might hide it more, but it is still there.

Let's not throw insults, please. We can have a discussion devoid of insults. I have to sleep soon. It is way past my bedtime

asuustrike2009:
Yea I know they do his their act but we as Christians should influence the world not the world influencing us

You knew and still used it as a reference? We might have our different views, but trust me, it is better we learnt about sex from our parents and church, than from social media, Kim Kardashian, Dencia, Bobrisky and co. It is good if Christian couples sit together and share ideas in a healthy way as regards family matters, INCLUDING SEX. Sex is a very integral part of marriage. The Bible said that you shouldn't deprive your spouse of sex even when you are fasting, unless he/she is ok with it.
Do you seriously think they would invite Angela Okorie and another guy to give a live sex demonstration? First, go or ask someone who goes what actually happened before you commend them. Be curious enough to check it out. You can always walk away if you feel uncomfortable

asuustrike2009:
Many church leaders are diluting the word of God and are after money instead of salvation. Their sermons are not dissuading members from committing sin rather their members are comfortable in sin. That is the more reason many members are falling for this trap called Valentine. Don't you see the Muslims, don't see many of them don't indulge in such act. Why should Christians be an exception? If they must teach about relationship must it be on valentine's day?. If many members are easily lured to the world it then means there is something wrong somewhere

Dude, don't be deceived. No tribe or religion does not have bad people. My colleague serving in the north has regaled us with a lot of stories that happen up north among our Muslim brothers. If you actually want to know how messed up sex matters are, ask a medical personnel working up north, preferably a doctor or nurse. They aren't saints. They simply know how to hide theirs better because their environment is more restricted.

Ken4Christ:
But it's already happening. I read a Post of a church where they have sex for one hour during church service and even the Bishop was screen shot holding two ladies while kissing one of them. What about another church were the members marturbated at the altar? And another performs healing through French kiss.

There is yet another members dress half unclad. We are in the last days and sin is already abounding. But God's grace much more abounds in those who are willing to live right.

There is a difference between church and cult, oga. The one you are talking about who held two women was one fake prophet that they shak alcohol in the name of having a church. Just like you said, iniquity would abound in our time. You people chooses to neglect the '.....christian' addendum. There is no way they would go there and be acting porn on stage/pulpit

asuustrike2009:
Such churches organises programs targeted at a particular set. It shouldn't be the day the world are celebrating valentine's day. The church can even add it to their sermons preached on Sundays too to pass the message not on valentine's day

Have you thought about it that instead of youths visiting guest house to fornicate, they should rather come to church to know how to have a healthy family? If you say that they should come on Sunday, trust me, they won't. Take note, that poster was made to be sensational too, to draw them to come.
I remember during my university days, when the Dominion city student arm did a similar program titled 'I MET A GIRL (IMAG)' on 14th of February. Trust me, a lot of us went to actually see why they used that title. Your guess is good as mine, they didn't talk about how to chyke girl, but simply how to enter into a godly relationship.
There is a reason why sensational journalism is what it is.

asuustrike2009:
Take it or leave it,it is sinful. If the church wants to discuss something of that nature, there is a way to go about it not carnality as being displayed

How do you suggest they can go about it? At least, we have both agreed that discussing such a topic is not bad. No one is perfect. So your suggestion could count too

stagger:
Nigerians are too sanctimonious. Lack of sexual satisfaction in marriages is a huge and underreported problem in Nigeria and it is crashing marriages fast. If it can he taught in Valentine's Day programs for married couples only, why not?

God created sex for married couples but satan has abused it, bastardized it and skewed it. We need to get sex with orgasm back where it belongs.

Leave the bloody hypocrites to be shouting

asuustrike2009:
It is a sin because they are becoming carnal. That poster alone is sending bad message to believers and unbelievers

How exactly is it sending a bad message? Like sexual orgasm between couples is a season. You people would bash Angela Okorie when she speaks about it since she isn't married. Now, you saw it with people who should actually teach it, you are bashing again.

People of this world, you cannot be pleased

The poster said '......in a Christian marriage'.
Us Africans, and Nigerian-Africans, we too form holy pass. Many marriages are being wrecked because of this. A church should care about the whole-man. It is not all about heaven. You have to also make your earthly life as smooth as it can be. The Bible said something about the wife of your youth, enjoying your wife (drinking from your cistern).
To hell with you hypocrites. The day a pastor's marriage would fall, it would hit FP.

If you cannot allow the addendum '......in a Christian marriage' sink, you are an 'olodoric' hypocrite.
Any person that wants to fornicate is on his head.

Another thing, about sex education. Don't even think that little children don't cldont know what sex is, not in this age. But you have at least to let them know in a Christian way. Better they hear it from their parents than from their peers

ClarissaXX:
Why do i feel you wasted your time typing that?
because i don't understand a bit of it. Last time i checked, i was never a science student



i've replied joor

Ok, in layman terms, prolonged elevation of sugar levels causes damage to small blood vessels and nerves, which can affect the ability to develop an erection. Do you need another explanation for blood vessel, nerves and erection?

Rayhandrinni:
well I don't know

You could check it out. However if you don't have the problem of excessive thirst and hunger and urination and then you are still in your 20s or near it, then chances are slim. So, I still go with performance anxiety as my diagnosis

Rayhandrinni:
my guy why are you so sure of what you don't even know eh?

Are you diabetic? That's the only time I know sugar can cause damage to erection.

ClarissaXX:
then it's what?
i wanna know

There is nothing to know other than it is not coke. The only time an erectile dysfunction can occur is in diabetes mellitus, because over time, they suffer from microangiopathic and neuronal damage.
I think his problem was simply performance anxiety....

You haven't replied me

Rayhandrinni:
Well it's true....I consumed a lot back then till i lost erection after she positioned it for me


Well...I been drinking responsibly ever since

Your problem wasn't coke, oga
