Health / Re: Pains On The Nipple by lakunle: 10:16am On Apr 10, 2008
While many women experience breast pain, isolated nipple pain is less common. What you describe sounds like breast pain located on or around the nipple, but could also be actual nipple pain. I can offer some advice on both problems.

Breast pain has many possible causes. Normal hormonal fluctuations related to your menstrual cycle can cause breast tenderness and swelling just before your period (cyclic breast pain). Noncyclic breast pain involves a constant or intermittent pain not associated with the menstrual cycle. It tends to occur in older women and in the postmenopausal years. Some causes include breast trauma, pregnancy, benign breast tumors and breast surgery. Breast pain can be associated with breast cancer but it is less common. Medications such as hormonal medications used in infertility treatments, postmenopausal hormone therapy and oral contraceptives are also associated with breast pain.

Some home remedies for mild breast pain include:

* Hot or cold compresses.
* Wearing a supportive bra.
* Limiting or eliminating caffeine. Although medical studies are inconclusive, many women have noted that reducing caffeine improves their symptoms.
* Simple pain relievers such as acetaminophen and ibuprofen may alleviate breast pain.
* Some research supports the effectiveness of oil of primrose in combating breast pain. This is a nutritional supplement available over the counter.

Inverted nipples -- nipples that turn inward -- are not problematic if they have always been inverted. The inversion can be congenital or the result of a breast biopsy or surgery performed on the nipple or surrounding skin (areola). Nipple tenderness may be caused by inadequate lubricant secretion by glands of the areola region, or by excessive moisture that can occur during exercise or breast-feeding. Bacterial or fungal infection of the nipple may also cause nipple tenderness. Tenderness may also result from local trauma, skin breakdown or friction over the area.

A malignancy in the nipple area would result in a noticeable, further retraction of the nipple. Other symptoms of concern include eczema with redness and flaking of the nipple skin.

If you've tried the home remedies and your symptoms persist, you should see your physician. If your nipple inversion is new, you should have a clinical breast examination and evaluation by your health care provider.

Health / Infertility - A Very Common Problem by lakunle: 10:10am On Apr 07, 2008
Infertility is the inability to conceive or produce offspring. There are two types on infertility- primary and secondary infertility. Couples who have been trying and could never be pregnant are known primary inability. Some who were able to conceive once are termed as secondary infertility. Here patients with secondary infertility have better chance of getting pregnant on future tries. Do not fret as there are many people who have this problem and have easily coped with it.


Some causes of Male Infertility
• Improper shape and movement of the sperm.
• No Sperms in the testicles.
• Low sperm count.
• Varicocele - Varicose vein in the scrotum.
• Undescended testicle.
• Deficiency of testosterone.
• Due to some infection.
• Problems in ejaculation.


Some causes of Female Infertility
• Inflammation of Fallopian tube.
• Ovulation disorders.
• Early Menopause.


Common Problems
• Stress.
• Malnutrition.
• Obesity or underweight.
• Cancer and its treatment.
• Other medical problems.
• Thyroid problems.
• Medications.
• Age.
• Pesticide and Chemical.
• Smoking.
• Alcohol and drugs.



Measures To Improve Fertility
• Get into proper shape by exercising and following a proper diet. As it very important to have a normal hormonal balance for the conception. Being over weight or under weight could just help your infertility woes.
• Stop Smoking completely. It has been found that smoking cigarette decreases sperm count in men. Women who smoke could no longer conceive.
• Avoid Alcohol. This too results in low sperm count. And is not good for women too.
• Best position. It is not sexist, but man on top and woman lying down is the best position for conception. Once the ejaculation happen, women should lie for at least 5 minutes in the same position.
• Use of Lubrication. Avoid petroleum jelly, K-Y jelly as these are known as sperm killers; instead use liquid paraffin which is available with most chemists.
• You can use egg white as a vaginal lubricant to help your conception process. The optimum use can be made when the woman is fertile. Do not use it for treating vaginal dryness. Do not try this if you are allergic to eggs.
• If you are having irregular periods it means you are not ovulating. Consult a doctor.
• Do not douche as this may not help the conception procedure.
• Keep testicles cool. Avoid tight clothes and close-fitting underwear.
• Abstain for sometime from intercourse so that the sperm count increases. Daily intercourse can decrease the sperm count.

Health / Re: Why Do Guys Go Bald by lakunle: 10:39am On Mar 15, 2008
The best start to preventing hair loss is understanding the basics of hair: what it is, how it grows, what system malfunctions can cause it to stop growing.
Most common hair loss comes under what has been commonly known as Male Pattern Baldness (MPB). Although referred to as MPB, females suffer a similar syndrome, so it is more properly called androgenetic alopecia. Although hair loss is not life or health threatening, it can cause serious problems with a personal psyche and self-confidence. There has been no absolute cure found for hair loss, and many factors of hair loss are hereditary, however there are several preventative measures one can take to maintain healthy hair and scalp.click link to learn more.

Health / Re: How To Loose Weight by lakunle: 4:02pm On Mar 12, 2008
There are various medications available in the market for treating obesity; however, a natural weight loss procedure has no alternative. It is mainly because, in most of the cases, the medications used to control weight have inevitable side-effects, whereas there is a wide range of natural weight loss programs focusing the same goal but without any apparent negative outcomes. Prior to our discussion regarding different methodological approaches of weight loss, we should know what a natural weight loss approach offers in general compared to the traditional chemical-based medicinal approaches. Most essentially, it puts emphasis on a holistic system which considers elimination of wastage products from the system to restoring healthy body weight. It doesn't focus only on the elimination of the symptoms of the problem; rather it tries to encounter the problem from its roots, contrary to conventional artificial treatment policies. Now let us discuss few of natural weight loss approaches which have received significant recognition irrespective of demographic differences and cultures.
