Fibroids What Is It? A fibroid is a lump or growth in the uterus that is not cancerous. Fibroids can be as small as a pea to as large as a basketball. They are usually round and pinkish in color, and they can grow anywhere inside or on the uterus. About 30% of women older than 30 years have fibroids, and they usually appear between the ages of 35 and 45. Some women are more likely to get fibroids, including black women, women who have never been pregnant and women who have a mother or sister with fibroids. The cause of fibroids is unknown. However, the female hormone estrogen seems to play a role in stimulating the growth of some fibroids. Symptoms Some women never realize that they have fibroids because they have no symptoms. In other women, uterine fibroids are discovered either during a routine gynecologic exam or during prenatal care. Symptoms of fibroids can include: Pelvic pain or pressure Heavy menstrual bleeding Bleeding or spotting between menstrual periods Unusually frequent urination Abdominal swelling Low back pain during intercourse or during menstrual periods Fatigue or low energy from heavy periods and excessive bleeding Infertility, if the fibroids are blocking the fallopian tubes Constipation Repeated miscarriages Expected Duration The number of fibroids, their size and how fast they grow varies among women. Female hormones encourage fibroids to grow, so they continue growing until menopause. Some fibroids shrink after menopause. However, larger fibroids may change little or become only slightly smaller in size. If a woman has had fibroids removed surgically, new fibroids can appear any time before she enters menopause. Prevention There are no proven measures you can take to prevent fibroids from developing. Studies show that athletic women seem to be less likely to develop fibroids than women who are obese or who don't exercise. Treatment If fibroids are small and are not causing any symptoms, they do not need to be treated. Your gynecologist may do a pelvic examination every six months to a year to make sure that your fibroids are not growing rapidly. In some cases, medications can be prescribed to control any abnormal bleeding and temporarily shrink the fibroids. Fibroids may need to be removed if they cause significant symptoms or are large enough to interfere with fertility. Growths in your uterus also may need to be removed if it is difficult for your doctor to tell whether they are fibroids or cancer. There are several options for removing fibroids: When To Call a Professional You should call your doctor if you have any of the following symptoms: Unusually heavy or prolonged bleeding during your period (menstruation) Bleeding from your vagina after intercourse Bleeding from your vagina or blood spots on your underwear between menstrual periods Unusually frequent urination Pelvic or low back pain during intercourse or during menstrual periods Call your doctor immediately if you experience severe pelvic pain, or if you develop severe bleeding from your vagina.

What Are the Signs and Symptoms of High Blood Pressure? High blood pressure (HBP) itself usually has no signs or symptoms. Rarely, headaches may occur. You can have HBP for years without knowing it. During this time, the condition can damage your heart, blood vessels, kidneys, and other parts of your body. Some people only learn that they have HBP after the damage has caused problems, such ascoronary heart disease, stroke, or kidney failure. Knowing your blood pressure numbers is important, even when you're feeling fine. If your blood pressure is normal, you can work with your health care team to keep it that way. If your blood pressure is too high, you can take steps to lower it. Lowering your blood pressure will help reduce your risk for related health problems. Complications of High Blood Pressure When blood pressure stays high over time, it can damage the body. HBP can cause: · The heart to get larger or weaker, which may lead to heart failure. Heart failure is a condition in which the heart can't pump enough blood to meet the body's needs. · Aneurysms (AN-u-risms) to form in blood vessels. An aneurysm is an abnormal bulge in the wall of an artery. Common spots for aneurysms are the main artery that carries blood from the heart to the body; the arteries in the brain, legs, and intestines; and the artery leading to the spleen. · Blood vessels in the kidneys to narrow. This may cause kidney failure. · Arteries throughout the body to narrow in some places, which limits blood flow (especially to the heart, brain, kidneys, and legs). This can cause a heart attack, stroke, kidney failure, or amputation of part of the leg. · Blood vessels in the eyes to burst or bleed. This may lead to vision changes or blindness. If you want to go for test A blood pressure test is easy and painless. This test is done at a doctor's office or clinic. To prepare for the test: · Don't drink coffee or smoke cigarettes for 30 minutes prior to the test. These actions may cause a short-term rise in your blood pressure. · Go to the bathroom before the test. Having a full bladder can change your blood pressure reading. · Sit for 5 minutes before the test. Movement can cause short-term rises in blood pressure. To measure your blood pressure, your doctor or nurse will use some type of a gauge, a stethoscope (or electronic sensor), and a blood pressure cuff. Most often, you will sit or lie down with the cuff around your arm as your doctor or nurse checks your blood pressure. If he or she doesn't tell you what your blood pressure numbers are, you should ask. The sooner you find out about HBP and treat it, the better. Early treatment may help you avoid problems such as heart attack, stroke, and kidney failure. How Can High Blood Pressure Be Prevented? If You Have Normal Blood Pressure If you don't have high blood pressure (HBP), you can take steps to prevent it. Healthy lifestyle habits can help you maintain normal blood pressure. · Follow a healthy diet. Limit the amount of sodium (salt) and alcohol that you consume. · Be physically active. Routine physical activity can lower HBP and reduce your risk for other health problems. · Maintain a healthy weight. Staying at a healthy weight can help you control HBP and reduce your risk for other health problems. · Learn to manage and cope with stress. Learning how to manage stress, relax, and cope with problems can improve your emotional and physical health. Many people who adopt these healthy lifestyle habits are able to prevent or delay HBP. The more lifestyle changes you make, the more likely you are to lower your blood pressure and avoid related health problems. If You Have High Blood Pressure If you have HBP, you can still take steps to prevent the long-term problems it can cause. Healthy lifestyle habits (listed above) and medicines can help you live a longer, more active life. Follow the treatment plan your doctor prescribes to control your blood pressure. Treatment can help you prevent or delay coronary heart disease, stroke, kidney disease, and other health problems. Children and Teens A healthy lifestyle also can help prevent HBP in children and teens. Key steps include having a child: · Follow a healthy diet that focuses on plenty of fruits, vegetables, and, for children older than 4 years old, low-fat dairy products. A healthy diet also is low in salt. · Be active for at least 1 to 2 hours per day. Limit screen time in front of the TV or computer to 2 hours per day at most. · Maintain a healthy weight. If your child is overweight, ask his or her doctor about how your child can safely lose weight. Make these healthy habits part of a family health plan to help your child adopt and maintain a healthy lifestyle.

I have visited their site. It seems they also provide interested users with customised email marketing module where people can track the messages they send weather it was read, forwarded etc. Even if the receiver deleted the message, with the module the sender will know. |
