A lot of women in Nigeria, both old and young, are suffering from this. We have been approached via e-mail, SMS and phone calls time without number on this issue and we have tried our best in helping out. Therefore, we have deemed it fit to release a write-up that will educate every woman about likely causes of scanty menstruation and spotting and how they can avoid them.

Scanty menstruation, otherwise known as Hypomenorrhea, is a condition in which a woman suffers from very scanty discharge during her menstrual periods. The duration of the menstrual period may also become shortened as a consequence of this problem. Women suffering from this problem also commonly experience vaginal spotting during their periods.

Hypomenorrhea is the reverse of the more common problem of excessive menstrual discharge faced by many women. In some women, the problem may be hereditary and it may be found upon investigation that other female members of their family, like mother and sister(s) also have a history of hypomenorrhea.

It is also possible that the problem lies in the constitution of the endometrial vascular tissues. In a few cases, the problem results from the fact that the area of the surface within the reproductive tract from which bleeding takes place during the menstrual period is itself restricted. This could be the consequence of a previous surgery conducted on the uterus or any other reproductive organ.

However, if there is some irregularity in the hormonal activities in the ovaries, chances are that the person would experience irregular periods rather than scanty flow of blood during the periods. Women nearing menopause are more susceptible to hypomennorahea than their younger counterparts. This is because the female reproductive tract begins to produce a thinner lining of cells and blood during the menstrual cycle as the body grows older, resulting in decreased menstrual flow during periods.

The production of hormones also becomes erratic at this stage, causing ovulation to become irregular and leading to scanty flow during the menstrual period. Hormonal imbalances caused by an excessive production of...see more at - http://planbwellness.com/causes-scanty-menstruation/

While there are many causes of infertility, blockage of the fallopian tubes is often the reason why many women are unable to conceive. The fallopian tubes are the pathways in which the ova (eggs) travel from the ovaries down into the uterus.Therefore, if there is a blockage in these tubes, it can prevent fertilization from occurring.

The fallopian tubes can sometimes become blocked or even damaged due to certain conditions that a woman may suffer from. In rare cases, the blockage to the fallopian tubes may have been present since birth as a birth defect, but have gone undetected until the woman reached adulthood and tried to conceive.

Upon ovulation, the egg travels from the ovary to the fallopian tubes where the sperm will meet the egg and fertilization occurs. Once fertilized, the zygote (fertilized egg) is pushed through the fallopian tubes into the uterus where implantation will occur.

How Cells of the Fallopian Tubes are Affected by Hormones

There are two types of cells within the fallopian tubes. Ciliated cells and Peg Cells.

Ciliated cells are most abundant in the infundibulum and ampullary. Estrogen increases the production of cilia cells in the fallopian tubes. Scattered between the ciliated cells are peg cells which produce tubular fluid. This fluid contains important nutrients for both sperm, eggs, and zygotes (fertilized eggs). The secretions also promote capacitation of the sperm. You may not know it, but the sperm cannot mature for complete fertilization without this important fluid. Progesterone increases the number of peg cells. Estrogen increases the height and secretory activity of the peg cells. In addition, tubal fluid flows against the action of the cilia, near the fimbriated end. Not only is progesterone and estrogen balance vital to the menstrual cycle overall, but it is vital to the health and proper function of the fallopian tubes as well. Therefore, if you suffer from hormonal imbalances, you might need to get it treated fast before it starts affecting the wellness of your fallopian tubes.

Location and Types of Blockages

These are the three main locations for fallopian tube blockages;

1. Proximal 2. Midsegment 3. Distal

There are different types of fallopian tube blockages based on location. Because the fallopian tubes have different parts, and as a tube, there may be different parts of the tube blocked. Each section has its own name. Doctors have also come to find out that there are patterns of disease or trauma that may affect certain parts of the fallopian tubes more than others.

Proximal tubal occlusion involves the isthmus. This can occur after infection such as complications from abortion, missed miscarriage, cesarean section or PID. Permanent birth control procedures like Essure block the isthmus.

Midsegment tubal obstruction of the ampullary is most often due to tubal ligation damage. Tubal ligation is a surgical procedure to permanently prevent pregnancy. Some women who have had tubal ligation change their mind later in life and choose to have this procedure reversed. This can be done surgically and has a 75% pregnancy success rate. Tubal ligation removal comes with its own risk for development of more scar tissue on top of scar tissue already present from the initial tubal ligation procedure.

Distal tubal occlusion is the type of blockage that affects the part of the fallopian tube end towards the ovary. This type of blockage is typically associated with hydrosalpinx. Hydrosalpinx is often caused by Chlamydia trachomatis infection, which is - See more at: http://planbwellness.com/natural-therapy-blocked-fallopian-tubes/#sthash.e0REvLwU.dpuf

My goal in writing this article is to help you read your body and listen when it is telling you something is out of balance. The menstrual cycle is one of the best ways the body communicates about your fertility. The details of your menstrual cycle can be used as a window into your fertility. Telling you just what is going on, where an imbalance might lie, how your reproductive circulation is, if there is a hormonal imbalance and so on.

Missing A Period

Missing one period is no cause for alarm. The hormonal balance is very delicate and can be affected easily by stress. It generally will reset itself. Missing one or a couple of periods does not imply infertility necessarily as you can still ovulate even if you are not menstruating. Missing a period for 6 months or more is called amenorrhea and is covered below.

Short Cycles

Short cycles can cause fertility issues due to lack of ovulation, too short of follicular phase or luteal phase, lack of nutrition, deficiencies, anemia or low body weight. Traditionally, one of the best herbs that has been used for luteal phase defect is vitex. In studies vitex helped 83% of women experiencing luteal phase defect.

Longer Periods

A longer period may be an indication of hormonal imbalance and/or a failure to ovulate. Progesterone secreted by the body after ovulation normally helps to stop excess bleeding because of its effect on preserving the uterine lining. If estrogen is high or progesterone low, bleeding may continue longer than usual. Click here to read more about a therapy that has been used for balancing longer periods and excessive bleeding successfully.

Heavy Menstruation

This is known to be caused by prostaglandin imbalance and/or over-stimulation of the uterine lining from estrogens (estrogen dominance). Traditionally, this imbalance can be helped by:

Regulating/balancing the hormones with the use of herbs and diet
Supporting the liver in excreting excess estrogen
Modifying the diet can also help to modify the prostaglandin balance.

Nutritional imbalances have also been linked to prolonged or heavy bleeding. Vitamin A deficiency may be a contributing factor in heavy menstruation. Studies have shown vitamin A intake to significantly decrease the amount of blood and the duration of the menses.

Another important vitamin, vitamin C, has been shown to help reduce heavy bleeding by strengthening the capillaries, helping to reduce their fragility. One study showed an 87% success rate in reducing of heavy bleeding with vitamin C. Click here to read about overcoming heavy menstrual flow.

Light Menstruation With Strong Cramping

Generally, the cramping could be helped by using herbs that have an anti-spasmodic, calming effect on the uterus. If there is light, bright red menstruation, this may also be a sign of a lack of circulation to the uterus (called a ‘cold uterus’ in Traditional Chinese Medicine).

Bright Red Blood

Generally bright red blood indicates a healthy period. Rejoice!

Uterine fibroids are benign tumors that grow outside, inside or within the wall of the uterus (womb). Composed of muscle and fibrous tissue, these growths are sometimes known as fibromyomas, leiomyomas or uterine myomas. Scientists are still not certain why fibroids occur but there is some evidence to suggest that the over-production of the hormone estrogen plays a role.

As a result, most natural treatments for fibroids, including diet therapy, focuses on reducing estrogen to combat fibroid growth. Also, any condition which is linked to hormones should also include a treatment to boost the liver so that it can rid the body of excess toxins efficiently.

As the use of medications have caused unwanted damages to a lot of women’s reproductive system, natural therapies have proven to be a reliable alternative option.

What Are Fibroid Shrinking Foods?

These are foods which are part of an anti-estrogen eating plan. The idea is to exclude some foods from your diet which are likely to encourage estrogen production and in doing so, hopefully reduce the size of fibroids, prevent further growths and reduce symptoms of fibroids.

Always aim for organic produce where possible to avoid chemicals and toxins, in particular environmental estrogens (xenoestrogens) which are sprayed on food plants. The following are a list of products which are recommended for women with fibroids:

• Vegetables and fruits like broccoli, cabbage, bok choy, kale, turnip, watercress, radish and rocket (arugula). These are cruciferous vegetables which can help the liver detox and rid the body of excess estrogens. Avoid overcooking vegetables.

Foods which can detoxify the blood are garlic, carrots, beets and artichokes. Drink plenty of water to help with detoxification. This also helps if you suffer from breast fibroids.
Eat foods containing natural carotenes such as apricots, sweet potato, cantaloupe, carrots, pumpkin and spinach.
Add foods rich in vitamin E to your diet including almonds, wheat germ, hazelnuts and cod liver oil.
Green tea, which contains the useful antioxidant polyphenol, can counteract the effects of estrogen.
Season your food with fresh rosemary and snack on pineapple. Both are a natural anti-inflammatory substances.

Foods To Avoid

Avoid any food which naturally increases estrogen levels, or which recycles estrogen into a more aggressive form. These foods include alcohol and animal fats such as red meat. Any excess fat on white meat like turkey and chicken should be trimmed before cooking. Also avoid cheese, cream, butter, ice cream and chocolate.
Replace full fat milk with low fat milk.
Avoid artificial sweeteners.
Avoid Soya and Soya products as a few studies indicate that - read more at: http://planbwellness.com/fibroids-diet-plan/#sthash.XRrfPfWb.dpuf

Progesterone is an important female reproductive hormone. It performs various functions in a woman’s body. It is required to regulate menstrual cycle along with estrogen, another important female reproductive system hormone. Progesterone is also required to initiate and maintain pregnancy. Insufficient amount of progesterone may lead to several issues regarding the reproductive health of a woman. Infertility is a common problem amongst women who cannot produce sufficient amount of progesterone. These women are often prescribed progesterone supplements to regulate the menstrual cycle or as a treatment for infertility. Such women can benefit from eating foods with natural progesterone.

Progesterone is naturally secreted by the woman’s ovaries. Every month, it signals the uterus to thicken its lining so that a fertilized egg can implant there. In the absence of fertilization, the uterus sheds its lining, leading to menstrual flow. Progesterone regulates the menstrual cycle by reducing the dominance of estrogen in the body. It also increases the body’s immunity.

Women suffering from Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome benefit from progesterone treatment. Progestin or synthetic progesterone is used to treat menstrual problems such as amenorrhea, abnormal uterine bleeding etc. It is also used for treating endometriosis, loss of appetite and weight loss related to AIDS and cancer. However, synthetic progesterone has numerous side effects, which may hamper your health in the long run. Hence, natural progesterone is preferred over synthetic one for Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT).

Progesterone is essentially an animal hormone. The only food source of progesterone is placenta! Certain animals eat their placenta after birth which gives them the required progesterone surge. Earlier, attempts were made to derive natural progesterone from the placenta of pig.

However, this method proved to be very expensive and tedious. Eventually, a progesterone-like substance was found in certain plant sources. Although, this is not progesterone similar to natural one found in humans, it certainly mimics the properties of progesterone inside the body.

The following food sources of progesterone given below contain both animal and plant progesterone;

Eggs - Eggs contain progesterone in abundant amounts. Egg yolk especially is a very rich source of progesterone. Women with progesterone deficiency should definitely eat eggs.

Dairy Products - Dairy products such as milk, cheese made from cow’s milk contain high amounts of progesterone. Cow’s milk is especially rich in progesterone.

Chicken - White meats such as chicken also contain progesterone hormone in small quantity. However, these days, poultry are artificially impregnated with hormones. Consuming such meat may not be the best idea to increase your progesterone levels. We have talked about this issue in one of our Free Health Talks before. Consumption of chicken on it’s own is not dangerous, consuming hormone-grown chickens is.
Note: Be sure that the chicken you are consuming is free-ranged organic, i.e. home-grown organic chicken (local chickens).

Zinc Rich Foods - Red meat, shellfish, turkey can contribute to increasing the levels of progesterone in the body. However, beware of hormone impregnated beef or pork. They will do more harm to you (reproductive) health than good.

Foods With Phyto-Progesterone – Phyto-progesterone can overcome progesterone deficiency in the body and maintain progesterone-estrogen balance. It is found in some of the following sources;

Yam – Yam/wild yam contains certain phytochemicals which act like progesterone when inside the body. However, these yams are not to be confused with sweet potatoes, which are also called yams in some areas.

Vitamin B6 Rich Foods - Foods rich in vitamin B6 such as walnuts, whole grains and fortified cereals, are good sources of phyto progesterone.

The above foods with progesterone in them must be consumed in moderate amounts only. Excess levels of progesterone may disrupt hormonal balance in the body. Menopausal women, women on HRT must eat these foods only after consulting their doctor.

If you are suffering from high or low level of progesterone, there is a natural way to overcome it and regain your fertility. Click here for a natural way to solve hormonal imbalance problems - http://planbwellness.com/hormonal-imbalance/

CAUSES OF FEMALE INFERTILITY

Failure to Ovulate

Ovulatory disorders are one of the most common reasons why women are unable to conceive, and account for 30% of women’s infertility. Fortunately, approximately 70% of these cases can be successfully treated. The causes of failed ovulation can be categorized as follows:

(1) Hormonal Problems

These are the most common causes of anovulation. The process of ovulation depends upon a complex balance of hormones and their interactions to be successful, and any disruption in this process can hinder ovulation. There are three main sources causing this problem:

Failure to produce mature eggs

In approximately 50% of the cases of anovulation, the ovaries do not produce normal follicles inwhich the eggs can mature. Ovulation is rare if the eggs are immature and the chance of fertilization becomes almost nonexistent. Polycystic ovary syndrome, the most common disorder responsible for this problem, includes symptoms such as amenorrhoea, hirsutism, anovulation and infertility. This syndrome is characterized by a reduced production of FSH, and normal or increased levels of LH, oestrogen and testosterone. The current hypothesis is that the suppression of FSH associated with this condition causes only partial development of ovarian follicles, and follicular cysts can be detected in an ultrasound scan. The affected ovary often becomes surrounded with a smooth white capsule and double its normal size. The increased level of oestrogen raises the risk of breast cancer.

Malfunction of the hypothalamus

The hypothalamus is the portion of the brain responsible for sending signals to the pituitary gland, which, in turn, sends hormonal stimuli to the ovaries in the form of FSH and LH to initiate egg maturation. If the hypothalamus fails to trigger and control this process, immature eggs will result. This is the cause of ovarian failure in 20% of infertility cases.

Malfunction of the pituitary gland

The pituitary’s responsibility lies in producing and secreting FSH and LH. The ovaries will be unable to ovulate properly if either too much or too little of these substances is produced. This can occur due to physical injury, a tumor or if there is a chemical imbalance in the pituitary.

If Hormonal Imbalance induced infertility, there is a solution. Our Hormonal Imbalance Remedy Kit balances the body hormones and also repairs all the hormone producing organelles of the body for proper functioning of optimal hormone production.

(2) Scarred Ovaries

Physical damage to the ovaries may result in failed ovulation. For example, extensive, invasive, or multiple surgeries, for repeated ovarian cysts may cause the capsule of the ovary to become damaged or scarred, such that follicles cannot mature properly and ovulation does not occur. Infection may also have this impact. This is why treating Ovarian Cyst naturally is the best choice. Contact us on 08074132218 for Natural Ovarian Cyst Remedy Kit.

(3) Premature Menopause

This presents a rare and as of yet unexplainable cause of anovulation. Some women cease menstruation and begin menopause before normal age. It is hypothesized that their natural supply of eggs has been depleted or that the majority of cases occur in extremely athletic women with a long history of low body weight and extensive exercise. There is also a genetic possibility for this condition.

(4) Follicle Problems

Although currently unexplained, “unruptured follicle syndrome” occurs in women who produce a normal follicle, with an egg inside of it, every month yet the follicle fails to rupture. The egg, therefore, remains inside the ovary and proper ovulation does not occur.

Causes of Poorly Functioning Fallopian Tubes

Tubal disease affects approximately 25% of infertile couples and varies widely, ranging from mild adhesions to complete tubal blockage. Treatment for tubal disease is most commonly surgery and, owing to the advances in microsurgery and lasers, success rates (defined as the number of women who become pregnant within one year of surgery) are as high as 30% overall. This percentage is still far below our treatment Kit’s success rate of 100% in all the cases treated so far for Blocked Fallopian Tube. It’s either you have the Fallopian Tube unblocked or get your money back.

The main causes of tubal damage include:

(1) Infection – Caused by both bacteria and viruses and usually transmitted sexually, these infections commonly cause inflammationresulting in scarring and damage. A specific example is Hydrosalpnix, a condition in which the fallopian tube is occluded at both ends and fluid collects in the tube.

(2) Abdominal Diseases- The most common of these are appendicitis and colitis, causing inflammation of the abdominal cavity which can affect the fallopian tubes and lead to scarring and blockage.

(3) Previous Surgeries- This is an important cause of tubal disease and damage. Pelvic or abdominal surgery can result in adhesions that alter the tubes in such a way that eggs cannot travel through them. This is one of the dangers associated with surgery in this part of the world especially for women.

(4) Ectopic Pregnancy- This is a pregnancy that occurs in the tube itself and, even if carefully and successfully overcome, may cause tubal damage and is a potentially life-threatening condition.

(5) Congenital Defects- In rare cases, women may be - See more at: http://planbwellness.com/causes-of-female-infertility/#sthash.RdlLKbEl.dpuf

Rose Oligose

【Make Your Intestinal Tract Young Forever】

Developed by the Fohow enterprise, Rose Oligose is a new kind of candy, which is mainly comprised of extract of rose, oligose, Xylo-oligosaccharides and stachyose. It has nice mouthfeel and can boost digestion, and can be used for keeping health, also can be used as flavoring, thus is the health preservation food for people of all ages.

Functions:

1. Regulating flora of the body with bi-direction;

2. Relaxing the bowel;

3. Preventing hypertension and arteriosclerosis;

4. Protecting the liver;

5. Absorbing minerals;

6. Preventing obesity;

7. Preventing decayed tooth;

8. Beauty effect

Material Composition

Extract of rose, oligose, Xylo-oligosaccharides and stachyose

People who are allowed to take this medicine - most people can take(including elders and kids), diabetic patients should take it in right amount.

Dosage – 2 times daily, a spoon onc time.

What kind of product is the Rose Oligose?

Rose Oligose is a kind of clearing product. The temperature of bowel is 38℃ and the remnants of the food will be fermented and goes bad in such a high degree, thus producing much toxin which will be absorbed by the bowel and enters into the blood circulation. If the toxin deposits on the skin, the aging speed of the skin will be accelerated, thus arise different kinds of skin diseases; if it deposits in the liver, the detoxification burden of the liver will be compounded, thus causing failure of the liver. The latest medical study finds that the aging process of human beings begins with the bowel. Guang Xi province in China is a longevity area and it has something to do with their diet habit. The study finds that the foods they eat contain natural oligose, which can boost the growth of beneficial germ in the bowel so that the bowel can keep in young state.

The major component of rose oligosaccharide is oligose. As a substitute for sugar, it can be consumed by people of all ages. Because it is not of high calorific value, people will not run fat with a long time of using it. At the same time, people won’t have decayed teeth and see their insulin increased. It can be used by either being directly placed into the mouth, or placed into the tea, milk, coffee or porridge. As we all know, rose is the most popular product in maintaining beauties. The essential oil extracted from it can function to eliminate toxicant, calm the nerves, beautify skin and regulate endocrinosity. Using for a long time can refresh breath, with the fragrance of rose from it. What’s more, it also contains vitamin B group. Therefore, long usage of rose oligosaccharide can improve body resistance, delay senility, make intestinal tract healthier and make us young forever.- See more at: http://www.myfohowmlm.com/fohow-products/fohow-rose-oligose/#sthash.BiQir06t.dpuf

Millions of women suffer from blocked fallopian tubes, and this condition is one of the most common causes of female infertility. Fallopian tubes can be blocked because of scarring caused by injury or infection, but the underlying cause of the condition is sometimes unknown.

Although common, blocked fallopian tubes are rarely a cause for serious concern. Because blocked fallopian tubes are often asymptomatic or present only with very mild symptoms, the condition is under-diagnosed, however it is a leading cause of infertility.


Infertility Caused by a Blocked Fallopian Tube

Women who are not trying to conceive may be completely unaware of their blocked fallopian tubes, since infertility is often the only symptom. Since a blockage in the fallopian tubes can prevent sperm and eggs from traveling freely, they may be unable to join and create a zygote.

Women with one occluded fallopian tube may have difficulty conceiving, but if the other tube is fully functional, the patient may never experience noticeable infertility. However, women with two affected fallopian tubes may find it nearly impossible to conceive without treatment or in vitro fertilization.

Mild Pelvic Pain Caused by a Blocked Fallopian Tube

Because of the pressure that scar tissue places on the area surrounding a fallopian tube, some women do experience mild, constant abdominal pain as a result of a blocked fallopian tube. Though the symptoms are relatively uncommon, it usually presents with mild, constant, nagging pain in the lower abdomen, possibly on only one side.

Abdominal pain can also be caused by unrelated conditions, and it is not always (or even often) associated with blocked fallopian tubes. Still, the condition could be considered as a possibility for women who experience constant abdominal pain along with infertility or other symptoms of a blocked tube.

Severe Pelvic Pain Caused by a Blocked Fallopian Tube

Very rarely, women with blocked fallopian tubes may feel intermittent episodes of severe, recurrent pain, which sometimes occurs on only in one side of the lower abdomen. This sharp pain sometimes occurs only during menstruation or ovulation, because of the effects of hormonal changes and increased blood flow to the reproductive organs.

Recurrent, severe pain can be caused by many other factors and conditions, such as menstrual cramping, endometriosis, gastrointestinal disturbances and pelvic infection. Since severe pain is only rarely caused by blocked fallopian tubes, other potential causes should be considered.

Risk Factors for a Blocked Fallopian Tube

Women with certain risk factors are especially likely to experience blocked fallopian tubes, and a medical history that includes related conditions can indicate that the patient is likely to experience blocked fallopian tubes. The most common cause of blocked fallopian tubes is scarring from a previous pelvic infection. Women who have had chlamydia or - See more at: http://www.planbwellness.com/signs-symptoms-blocked-fallopian-tubes/#sthash.E13sLTIE.dpuf

There are a number of fibroid risk factors which, when present, can increase your chances of developing uterine fibroids. Since the absolute and definitive cause of this condition cannot be identified in each individual, it can be difficult to prove which women are most at risk. However, what we can say is that statistically, women in the following groups seem to have a higher chance of having fibroids; Women who are carrying excessive weight Women who eat a lot of red meat (especially fatty meats) Women who begin menstruating at an earlier than average age African women Risk factors increase with age. 40% of women will have fibroids by the age of 40 (these may of course be small and symptom-free) whereas 70-80% of women in their 50’s before the menopause would have developed fibroids Women who eat few vegetables Those with a close female relative with the condition Women who have never been pregnant. Those who have four or more children have a much lower risk of developing uterine fibroids Women with higher levels of estrogen and/or progesterone

Lifestyle issues can also increase your risk. For example, if - See more at: http://www.planbwellness.com/fibroid-risk-factors/#sthash.JgtLOiCy.dpuf

Hello Reader,

We have already informed you in our e-mail to you yesterday about our new ongoing book project that’s meant to help every woman afflicted with fibroid overcome this challenge via their diet. So, here is just a tip from the numerous and highly beneficial content of this great book. How you can get rid of fibroid with just a home-made juice!

Juicing for fibroids is a great way to help your condition when combined with other beneficial changes in your diet. However, even if you don’t do anything else, it certainly wouldn’t harm you to try a couple of the juice recipes listed below. They really taste great and you can almost “feel” the goodness as you drink them. Wherever you can, use organic produce but if not, wash all fruits and vegetables really well and peel when necessary.

Also, it is best to drink juices as soon as they are made, rather than storing them as this can result in a loss of certain nutrients.

JUICE RECIPES FOR FIBROIDS AND FERTILITY

Alternate using different fruits and vegetables as listed below to obtain the maximum benefits of juicing. The goal of juicing is to both detoxify and cleanse your system while boosting your immune system, and regenerating your reproductive organs.

Juicing is an easy way to provide yourself with a concentrated form of nutrients that can help you improve shrink fibroids and improve your fertility. When you “juice”, you can usually pack far more fruits and vegetable portions into just one serving that you could possibly not eat if they were served in their original format.

However, unlike drinking the common squeezed juices, juicing in the format explained below help you to get the benefit of all the whole fruits and vegetables at once. Additionally, the juices are in an easily digestible form so your body is easily able to absorb all the goodness of the vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and other plant-based nutrients to do exactly what you want it to do – to shrink fibroids and help you conceive naturally!

The liver plays an important role in removing waste products from the body. There is some evidence to support the theory that a poorly functioning liver can contribute to the formation of uterine fibroids. Modern life introduces many chemicals and environmental toxins into the body which can overload the liver. Many juices, particularly those including fruits and vegetables with the B vitamin, can really help support and cleanse the liver.

Even in our natural fibroid treatment with our fibroid remedy kit, an important part of the treatment is detoxification. Detoxifiying the liver and other organs has a way of refreshing them and making them more active to carry our their natural functions.

To shrink fibroids, it is important that the body is well-nourished and juices can help to ensure that you are getting your quota of vitamins and minerals.

Vitamins C and E can both help maintain the health of the artery walls by preventing free radical damage. In addition, many of the concentrated nutrients found in juices help to lower triglycerides and help prevent blood from becoming “sticky” and liable to clot too easily, this will really a lot of women who suffer abnormal menstrual blood clotting during their menstruation.

Most fruits and vegetables contain vitamin C, with vitamin E being readily available in kiwi fruits, blackberries, asparagus and dark green leafy vegetables. Other nutrients, such as potassium and magnesium will also help to keep the heart healthy.

As well as the benefits of juicing for women with fibroids, there are many other documented benefits of juicing which can help to enhance your general well-being. For example;

Improving brain function
Helping keep the skin clear
Improving digestion
Improving health of nails, eyes and hair
Increasing energy levels
Helping keep joints mobile

These nutritious and tasty combinations are all packed full of nutrients. Enjoy!

You can add a squeeze of fresh lime, lemon or orange juice for taste or if you feel the juice is a little too thick.

Your Juicing Combinations

1 teaspoon of honey (100% natural), 1 lemon, 1 tablespoon of pollen, 1 glass of pure water, 1 cup of aloe pulp or juice, or a small cactus
1 Beetroot, 1 carrot, 1 apple
1 Carrot, 1 apple, Half inch peeled ginger
1 Apple, 3 inch piece cucumber, 1 stick of celery
1 Tomato, 1 carrot, 1 apple
1 Orange, half inch peeled ginger, 3 inch piece cucumber
1 Apple, 1 thick ring of pineapple, 1 slice deseeded watermelon
1 Apple, 3 inch piece cucumber, 1 kiwi fruit
1 Carrot, 1 apple, 1 pear, half mango

You can choose any combination you like from the combinations above. You can also try all of them one by one depending on the availability of ingredient and your likeness for each fruit.

Benefits of Juicing For Fibroids/Fertility

The main goal of juicing is to both detoxify and cleanse the reproductive system while also boosting the immune system, and regenerating the reproductive organs.
To cleanse the blood stream, tone the organs and stimulate the body’s cell growth
Some of the fruits are rich in flavonoids which are known to reduce the risk of fibroids
Some of fruits in the combination above contain antioxidants, which enhance the immune system and are also very rich in vitamin C.
To reduce water retention and swelling
Drinking a pineapple juice in the mornings helps to reduce acidity in the blood stream. High acidity is known to cause tumours.

How to Make a Juice

Wash produce thoroughly – Unwashed produce can be contaminated with bacteria so this is an important step in the juicing process.
Line your juicer’s pulp basket – If you have a juicer that has a pulp basket, line it with a plastic bag for easy clean-up.
Cut or tear produce to fit through the juicer – Just before juicing, cut any produce that might be too large to fit through the juicer whole. Once you start cutting vegetables they begin to lose nutrients so it’s best to cut just when you are ready to juice.
Feed produce through the juicer – If your juicer has more than one speed, don’t forget to down-shift from high to low for softer fruits. Most juicers come with a chart in the instruction manual to help guide you on speeds. Usually hard produce like apples and beets are on High and soft ones like spinach or cabbage are set to Low.
Rejuice your pulp – Once produce has been passed through the juicer, check to see if your pulp is still damp. If it is, pass it back through your juicer and you’ll be able to get more juice from the leftovers!
Drink up and juice on – At this point, you should have a fresh juice ready for you to drink! Drink it as soon as possible because once it’s juiced, it starts to lose nutritional value overtime. If stored properly, it can last up to 2 days max but remember that there are no preservatives in fresh juice (which is why we love it!) so it can go bad quickly. If you prefer it cold, pour over ice.
Now it’s time to clean your juicer – Carefully scrub your machine with warm water and soap and place on a drying mat. Check the owner’s manual to see if your juicer is dishwasher friendly for an even faster clean.

Tips for Juicing as a Natural Treatment for Uterine Fibroids

Only make eight ounces of juice per day – Consuming large amounts of juice especially if it is fruit juice can create an acidic environment in the body which is not considered healthy. In addition, some fruits such as grapes have high sugar content which can help to create an estrogen dominant state which can make fibroid tumors worse.
Focus more on juicing vegetables and less on fruits for the reasons discussed above. Vegetables are more alkaline and can help eliminate or reduce an acidic environment in the body. Fruits do contain beneficial - See more at: http://www.planbwellness.com/juice-recipes-fibroids-fertility/#sthash.Tv3K29XS.dpuf

Unexplained infertility is a term we hear a lot in the reproductive world. Basically, it is the term used when there is no found cause for infertility. Usually, a couple has gone through all of the testing available and everything comes back clear. This is good news, but can be so frustrating if you have not gotten pregnant yet. In the case of unexplained infertility, it can be hard to figure out what to do next. A diagnosis of unexplained infertility is given to about 25% of couples with infertility.

Unexplained Infertility: The Basics

Sometimes it could be as simple as a nutritional deficiency, low cervical mucous, inaccurate timing of sexual intercourse, a pre-existing health issue, or it may be that you need to explore options for more in-depth testing. It is important to cover all the basics, including additional testing that may need to take place. We are going to cover key areas that need to be addressed, some areas may or may not apply to you, but some may have not been taken into consideration when you were given your diagnosis.

Approximately a quarter of all consultations we do involve couples who are given a diagnosis of unexplained infertility, yet they also have other health related conditions, may have poor dietary and lifestyle habits and many even have fertility issues that directly impact reproductive health. If you have been diagnosed with a fertility issue such as endometriosis, uterine fibroids, ovarian cysts, Fallopian Tube Blockage, Hormonal Imbalances, etc., those issues may be what are causing your infertility struggles. It is very important to address those issues individually, prior to trying to conceive.

Hormonal Balance

If the hormones are not balanced or the menstrual cycle is off, pregnancy can not occur. If pregnancy does occur, the risk of miscarriage increases. This is important for the male partner as well. Men can have hormonal imbalance as well, which may contribute to difficulties in impregnating a woman due to poor sperm health, or other health related issues.

Women
Menstrual cycle irregularities may be a sign of hormonal imbalance, or other more serious fertility issues. If any of the below hormones are not at the correct levels, the menstrual cycle may become irregular. Hormonal imbalance may cause a variety of other health related issues that may affect quality of life. For example thinning hair, heart palpitations, low libido, depression, ect.

Progesterone
Estrogen
Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH)
Luteinizing Hormone (LH)
Androgens for example DHEA, Testosterone
Thyroid hormones
Prolactin

Men
The number one hormonal imbalance in men is with testosterone and estrogen. Other health related problems may contribute to hormonal imbalance in men. Poor diet and lifestyle choices are the most common reasons for hormonal imbalance and low sperm count and health. Common signs of hormonal imbalance in men are low libido, abnormal hair growth, and erectile dysfunction.

The most common hormonal imbalance in men:

Testosterone
DHEA
Prolactin
Estrogen

Cervical Mucous

Low cervical mucous is one of the simplest yet most important factors to becoming pregnant. If the cervical mucous is scanty, non existent or too acidic, then the sperm will not be able to make there way to the cervix.

Causes of Low Cervical Mucous

Not enough water intake each day
Poor circulation to the reproductive organs; sedentary lifestyle
Hormonal imbalance may cause changes to the entire menstrual cycle, which may inhibit production of fertile cervical mucous. Both low progesterone and estrogen levels may cause low cervical mucous production.
Fertility medications containing hormones can alter fertile cervical mucous production
Cervical fibroid (very rare)
Loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP) and cryosurgery damage for cervical dysplasia or HPV. These procedures can in some cases cause cervical scar tissue damage which may close off the ducts that secrete the cervical mucous. This is very rare.

There are natural remedies that help the body to produce more, sperm friendly cervical mucous as well as sperm friendly lubricants. Contact us for more details.

Other Health Related Factors and Problems that Affect Both Women and Men Fertility

Other health related problems may cause hormonal imbalance, poor egg health, low ovarian reserve, or poor/abnormal immune response which may affect conception. Many times, doctors may overlook these other health issues or not link them to a couples fertility troubles. If you have any of the below health issues, it is important to first address those problems, because problems with any of the below may directly impact your ability to conceive.

Thyroid issues
Poor Adrenal Health
Very low body weight
Obesity
Diabetes
Autoimmune disease
Cancer (chemotherapy and radiation may cause Premature Ovarian Failure or low sperm count and health)
Injury or trauma to reproductive organs, or one of the endocrine glands
Smoking
Alcoholism
Drug Addiction
Hypertension
Long-term use of medications
Heavy exposure to radiation or other environmental pollution

Stress

You may not know it, but your bodies are equipped to prevent conception from occurring during times of extreme stress. The presence of adrenaline, the hormone that is released by your bodies during stressful times, signals to the body that conditions are not ideal for conception. Adrenalin inhibits us from utilizing the hormone progesterone, which is essential for fertility. It also causes the pituitary gland to release higher levels of prolactin, which also causes - See more at: http://www.planbwellness.com/unexplained-infertility-causes-solution/#sthash.h6G1yCI9.dpuf

I want to begin this article by first examining the relationship between Birth Control Treatments and Female Reproductive System, especially those Birth Control Treatments that contain hormones. While I feel that it is important for you to have the freedom to choose whether or not you want to be pregnant during certain times in your live, the more I hear from women who’s menstrual cycles have been disrupted from the use of birth control pills/therapies containing synthetic hormones makes me wonder if there might be a better way. If we could educate the public, delve deeper into understanding what the excess hormones do in your body, as well as learn alternative methods of preventing pregnancy that may be more beneficial to long-term health, we might be able to prepare for conception in a healthier way.

Birth Control and Female Fertility

Many doctors will easily prescribe oral contraceptive (pill) birth control if you have fertility issues such as PCOS, Endometriosis, Ovarian Cysts or irregular menstrual cycles. While the birth control may work for some time for those conditions, the birth control does not address the key issue of why you have that fertility issue in the first place. It may reduce pain, reduce the incidence of ovarian cyst or regulate your cycle for some time and then when you stop taking it, your symptoms may come back.

Many women with these fertility issues still want to have children and taking birth control prevents that from happening. It is important to have clear communication with your doctor if you are still wanting to get pregnant while healing your body of your fertility issues at the same time. I have actually had women write in and say that their doctors did not make it clear to them that the pills they were prescribed for their fertility issues were actually birth control, which prevents pregnancy.

Daily, we receive questions through email, phone calls and SMS from women trying to get their menstrual cycles to regulate after coming off of birth control. When I speak of birth control, I am speaking of the kinds that contain hormones or IUD (which may affect the uterus and menstrual cycle). Birth Control Pills, Intrauterine Device also known as IUD (Copper T, Mirena, Progestasert), Implant (Implanon), The Ring (NuvaRing), The Patch (Ortho Evra) and Injectable Progestin (Depo-Provera) all contain synthetic hormones except for the Copper T IUD.

Anytime between the time you stop using it and up to a year afterward is considered a normal time frame in which it will take for your body on it’s own to regulate your hormones and start a regular menstrual cycle. If you were taking birth control to help regulate your cycles or for other fertility issues, this average may not apply because your cycles may have not been regular to begin with, and there are no guarantees that the birth control use is going to keep them regulated like when you were using it.

For some methods like the Implant or Depo-Provera, some women do not get their menstrual cycle at all and it seems that these women have a harder time getting their menstrual cycles to come back.

To understand contraception that affects our natural menstrual cycle, I have made a chart to help you learn what hormones are in each of the above birth control - See more at: http://www.planbwellness.com/birth-control-side-effects-balance-hormones-conceive-birth-control/#sthash.voXErntQ.dpuf

One of the lessons we taught participants at our last Free Health Talk/Medical Check-up in Lagos was how to use their diet consumption to prevent and manage diseases. Lifestyle is one of the reasons why some diseases are common today than ever before. If you can’t do much to control how what you consume are being made, you should be able to control how you consume them.
Accumulation of toxin in the body over time from different meals and also from the environment is another thing. Therefore, you need to take action against this if you don’t want it to lead to something disastrous to your health in the long run.
So, in our last Health Talk, we shared a simple fruit juice recipe that can help you with your in 7 different ways as stated below. But for the sake of those who could not attend due to distance, I will share it here again.
When you wake up every morning, the first thing you should drink is warm water and lemon and before you sleep do the same thing. I recommend this to my clients always. Drinking warm water and lemon has so many benefits and at the same time it makes one feel hydrated. You should also drink lemon water first thing in the morning to kick start your digestive system.

Benefits of Warm Water & Lemon

Recipe type: Juice

Ingredients
• ½ lemon
• 1 cup warm water

Instructions
• Juice ½ lemon (with peel if organic. In fact, make sure it’s organic)
• Add it to 1 cup of warm water

The way you start each day is incredibly important. That’s why you should start it with one cup of warm water and half a lemon.
Here are 7 reasons why you should start your day with 1 cup warm water and 1/2 lemon...http://www.planbwellness.com/health-benefits-warm-water-lemon/

The growing rates of infertility and secondary infertility (infertility after a woman has had one child) can be attributed to many things, but many medical experts and researchers are reluctant to name surgical abortion as a possible causal factor.

It’s unlikely that having an abortion will affect your fertility. However, some research suggests a possible link between abortion and an increased risk of:

Vaginal bleeding during early pregnancy
Preterm birth
Low birth weight
Placenta previa — when the placenta partially or completely covers the cervix, which can cause severe bleeding before or during delivery.

Millions of women are infertile today due to several past abortions they have had which have caused one issue or the other to their reproductive system.

During a medical abortion, a woman takes oral medications in early pregnancy to abort the fetus. During a surgical abortion, the fetus is removed from the uterus — typically with a vacuum device, a syringe or a spoon-shaped instrument with a sharp edge (curette) — as an outpatient surgical procedure. Rarely, a surgical abortion can damage the cervix or uterus. In such cases, surgery might be needed to correct the damage before a woman can conceive again.

Complications Of An Abortion

sterility

A number of women have complications, such as:

A severe infection, such as pelvic inflammatory disease (PID)
Damage to the womb (uterus)

Complications such as these can affect fertility.

Infection After An Abortion

Taking antibiotics before an abortion may reduce your risk of infection. The healthcare professionals treating you will provide advice about taking antibiotics.

Most infections are easy to treat. However, an infection, such as PID, that’s not treated could lead to a more severe infection of your reproductive organs. This can cause infertility or an ectopic pregnancy (when a fertilised egg implants itself outside the womb).

Damage To The Womb During An Abortion

Infertility diagnosis can be devastating. With 1 in 6 couples now being diagnosed with infertility, there is no denying the time is now to work to change how we educate and manage fertility health. Couples who are given an infertility diagnosis have usually gone through extensive fertility testing. What couples may not know is that there are often natural options to help correct many fertility problems. We have several articles dedicated to aiding couples who have been diagnosed with infertility (visit www.planbwellness.com). We are dedicated to providing information on natural options for healing and restoring healthy fertility in both male and female. There are actually 2 types of infertility as explained below;

Primary infertility which is defined as a couple that has not be able to conceive after trying for a year or more of unprotected intercourse.
Secondary infertility is defined as couples who have had children previously, but are unable to achieve another pregnancy.

Let us look at the Top 10 causes of infertility. Simply click “Learn more here…” at the end of each section to learn more about that specific issue and natural therapies that have been found helpful in healing/correcting the issue.
Ovulation Disorder

There are a variety of reasons a woman may have no ovulation or irregular ovulation cycles. Hormonal imbalance is the number one reason women have ovulation disorder. There are many factors which play a role in regulating the menstrual cycle. When the delicate communication between the pituitary gland, the ovaries and the follicles does not work properly, ovulation does not occur. Here are some reasons why hormonal imbalance may occur, causing ovulation disorder:

-Poor egg health -Problems with one or more of the endocrine glands

-Poor nutrition

-Stress

-Xenohormones

-Poor lifestyle choices

-Low Body Weight

-Obesity

-Long-term use of fertility medications containing hormones, for example birth control.

-Genetic predisposition

Conventional treatment for fibroids often leaves many couples feeling disillusioned as very often, women are given options which are disappointing to say the least. Surgery and drug treatment will not cure fibroids permanently as they cannot eliminate what is causing them in the first place. This often leads to doctors recommending “watchful waiting” as they know that even after treatment, fibroids are likely to regrow. So, although, it is often thought that doctors are not being particularly helpful, the truth is that their options are limited.

There are many different natural ways of treating fibroids and once diagnosed, many women start looking round to see which is considered the best. The truth is that many treatments will give some symptomatic relief, but there is only one way to really help fibroids, and that is by using a multifaceted treatment which combines most of the popular ones, in the right kind of order and dismisses those which are ineffective.

This brings us back to ‘healthy eating for uterine fibroids’

I believe that dietary modification is one of the singular best things you can do if you have fibroids. However, changing what you eat will not cure your fibroids. It may give you some symptomatic relief though, and an unhealthy diet is one of the major primary causes for this condition.

It therefore follows that it is worth changing your diet, but this needs to be seen in the context of being one of many steps, if you want real and lasting shrinkage.

A good starting point for those concerned about healthy eating for uterine fibroids is to start choosing organic foods. This applies to fruits, vegetables, meats (organic) and grains. This means that you are avoiding ingesting pesticides and foods with traces of growth hormones, both of which are known fibroid-causers and aggravators.

You should try to eat foods which are as close to their natural state as possible – in other words, avoid foods which have been overly processed and which have additives. If you need to cook - See more at: http://www.planbwellness.com/healthy-foods-get-rid-fibroids/#sthash.S3T5Pm0A.dpuf

When a woman has damaged fallopian tubes, it increases the risk of ectopic pregnancy, also called tubal pregnancy.

An ectopic pregnancy occurs when the fertilized egg is unable to pass to the uterus, so the embryo grows in the fallopian tube instead. This happens in one out of every 40 or 50 pregnancies and is most likely to occur around the eight week of pregnancy.

Symptoms of Ectopic Pregnancy

The symptoms of an ectopic pregnancy may initially feel like symptoms of a normal pregnancy, but can quickly change. Symptoms include:

vaginal bleeding
sharp or stabbing abdominal cramps
pain on one side of the body that may spread through your belly
dizziness, weakness or fainting

If you have these symptoms of ectopic pregnancy, see a doctor immediately! The major health risk of ectopic pregnancy is that the fallopian tube will rupture and lead to internal bleeding. You may need emergency surgery to reduce the risk of heavy bleeding (hemorrhaging) if the tube ruptures. Ectopic pregnancy is a leading cause of pregnancy-related death; however survival rates have drastically improved due to advances in early detection.

An ectopic pregnancy cannot be saved. If the tube has not burst and the pregnancy hasn’t progressed very far, you may only need laparoscopic surgery to remove the embryo and repair the damage. If, however, the tube has ruptured, it may have to be removed.

Pregnancy after Ectopic Pregnancy

You can have a normal pregnancy after an ectopic pregnancy. If you still have both fallopian tubes, you have a 60 percent chance of having a successful pregnancy in the future. Even if one fallopian tube was removed, the remaining one should be enough to let you get pregnant again.

Your doctor may suggest you wait from three to six months before trying to conceive.

Even if you have problems with your fallopian tubes, it is possible to become pregnant. Surgery can help by removing a blockage, reconstructing the damaged end of a tube or removing scar tissue. In vitro fertilization (IVF) is another way of trying to become pregnant. This advanced reproductive technology doesn’t repair the tubes but bypasses them by transferring the embryo directly into the uterus. The disadvantage of these procedures is about their success rate and the money involve. The success rate is so low in this part of the world and the procedures are not affordable for most families. I have heard about cases of couples taking loan to carry out IVF more than times and even with no success.

Your Safest And Cheapest Option

Your safest and the cheapest option is to go natural. Authentic alternative therapies have proven to be reliable and helpful lately in the areas of male and female fertility with little or no risk and with high success rate. In our Wellness Center, we have successfully handled cases of fertility in both men and women for even condemned patients and came out with positive result.

hippyj:
Thanks for the post,it really helped me because sometimes the change in my girls on confuses me.but now I know better.

You can read more of this type of article concerning women's health on www.planbwellness.com free of charge.

I have written about this case more than 2 times in less than one month on our Facebook fan pages (https://www.facebook.com/planbwellness?fref=nf and https://www.facebook.com/pages/Fibroids-And-Infertility-Remedy/269519959890861 ), yet people still continue to ask more and more questions about it. Yea, it is understandable. I understand the fact that a lot of women are interested in this topic. If you did not know, please get it clear today that more than 30million women in Nigeria have one type of fibroid or the other.

Below is a question from our Facebook fan page that caught my attention. It was asked by one of our readers. Though, I have directed her to my other write-ups on Fibroid but I still feel I need to revisit this issue as more and more people continue to ask me questions on it on a daily basis.

‘’please I have been operated on fibroid before, and now doctor has confirmed It again that I still have fibroid in my stomach, what Do I do because I don’t want to go for operation again?’’

You see, if we tell people not to go for surgery as a solution to fibroid, it is for their own good. A lot of women lose their lives daily to fibroid surgery. A lot of other women get affected by other health challenges that eventually affect their fertility due to fibroid surgery. Some have gotten their uterus removed. Some have gotten their womb damaged, and so on.

If you undergo surgery to remove fibroid, there is no guarantee that the fibroid will not grow again as in the case of this woman. Whatever happens to the pain she went through. Whatever happens to the money she spent.

Important Information About Fibroids

Over 30million Nigerian women suffer from one type of Fibroid or the other.
Uterine fibroids are benign tumors, which grow from the muscle layers of the womb. They are the most common benign tumors in female.
Fibroids cause symptoms in about 25% of white and 50% of black women.
Statistical measure shows that 20% of women develop fibroids by the time they reach menopause.
In rare cases, fibroids can turn cancerous.
Having a family member with fibroids increases the risk.
If a woman’s mother had fibroids, her risk of having them is about three times higher than the average.
Fibroids become more common as women age, especially during the 30s, 40s and 50s. After menopause, fibroids usually shrink. Women who are obese are at higher risk of having fibroids.
Warning; not all fibroids have symptoms. The symptoms depend on the size, location, number and the pathological findings.

Important symptoms include:
• Abnormal bleeding
• Heavy or/and painful periods
• Abdominal discomfort or bloating
• Back ache, urinary frequency or retention, and in some cases infertility

Fibroid

There may also be pain during intercourse depending on the location of the fibroids. During pregnancy they maybe the cause of:

One of the very confusing topics when it comes to women’s health is the issue of vaginal discharges. A lot of women are always confused concerning knowing at what point a discharge will be said to be normal or abnormal. At what point does a discharge become harmful to the reproductive system? This is what you will learn in our today’s write-up…enjoy it;

Vaginal discharge usually works to keep the genital area clean and healthy. But if it looks or smells abnormal, it could be a sign of a health problem.

Paying attention to your vaginal discharge is smart self-care. But do you know what’s normal — and what’s not? Normal white discharge helps keep the vagina clean, lubricated, and free from germs and infections. On the other hand, vaginal discharge that looks or smells abnormal can be a sign of health problems. It’s also important to keep in mind that your menstrual cycle can influence the type of vaginal discharge you’ll have on any particular day — and the discharge during pregnancy will differ, too.

Vaginal Discharge During the Menstrual Cycle

All women produce vaginal discharge during their childbearing years, starting a year or two before puberty and ending after menopause. However, the color and thickness of vaginal discharge will vary during the menstrual cycle, depending on the levels of estrogen circulating in the body.

After your period ends, you’ll have thick, white discharge. But around 14 days after your period ends — around the time of ovulation — your vaginal discharge will turn clear and become watery and so elastic that it can form thin strands or ropes. When your ovary releases an egg in the middle of your menstrual cycle, your body also increases the production of vaginal discharge.

It’s common to have 30 times more vaginal discharge in the middle of the menstrual cycle. This wetness is a sign that you’re ovulating.

After the middle of your menstrual cycle, your vaginal discharge will start to thicken. When you get towards the end of your menstrual cycle — close to when you start your period — you’ll have white discharge again.

There’s nothing you can do to reduce the amount of vaginal discharge or change its consistency — and you wouldn’t want to anyway. This vaginal discharge is your body’s way of flushing out bacteria.

Vaginal Discharge During Pregnancy

The same kind of white discharge you may have noticed early in your menstrual cycle will continue after you’re pregnant. What’s the big change? There will be a lot more of it.

Because of greater blood flow to the vagina and a boost in estrogen production, vaginal discharge in pregnancy will be in overdrive. You may want to wear a panty liner to avoid wetness on your clothes. This increase in vaginal discharge will continue until delivery of your baby.

A few weeks before your delivery date, you’ll notice another increase in the amount of vaginal discharge, as well as a thicker consistency. This occurs because the mucus plug, which fills the tiny opening to the cervix, is being discharged in preparation for labor. Amniotic fluid may also leak steadily, in tiny amounts, as your body prepares for birth. But if there’s a sudden gush of fluid, get to the hospital right away. This means that your water broke and you’ll be giving birth soon.

If you’re not yet at 37 weeks, call your doctor immediately if you notice a sudden increase or change in the color of your discharge in pregnancy, especially if it’s tinged with blood. This could be a sign of preterm labor.

When Vaginal Discharge Isn’t Normal

While vaginal discharge is normal most of the time, in some instances it can indicate an infection. Normal discharge is clear or white and doesn’t smell bad. You should be concerned if your vaginal discharge is yellow, gray, or green, has a clumpy texture like cottage cheese, or has an abnormal odor.

Abnormal discharge could signal one of these conditions:- See more at: http://www.planbwellness.com/vaginal-discharge-tell-normal/#sthash.Dtru0YvM.dpuf

What kind of product is the Rose Oligose?

Rose Oligose is a kind of clearing product. The temperature of bowel is 38℃ and the remnants of the food will be fermented and goes bad in such a high degree, thus producing much toxin which will be absorbed by the bowel and enters into the blood circulation. If the toxin deposits on the skin, the aging speed of the skin will be accelerated, thus arise different kinds of skin diseases; if it deposits in the liver, the detoxification burden of the liver will be compounded, thus causing failure of the liver. The latest medical study finds that the aging process of human beings begins with the bowel. Guang Xi province in China is a longevity area and it has something to do with their diet habit. The study finds that the foods they eat contain natural oligose, which can boost the growth of beneficial germ in the bowel so that the bowel can keep in young state.

The major component of rose oligosaccharide is oligose. As a substitute for sugar, it can be consumed by people of all ages. Because it is not of high calorific value, people will not run fat with a long time of using it. At the same time, people won’t have decayed teeth and see their insulin increased. It can be used by either being directly placed into the mouth, or placed into the tea, milk, coffee or porridge. As we all know, rose is the most popular product in maintaining beauties. The essential oil extracted from it can function to eliminate toxicant, calm the nerves, beautify skin and regulate endocrinosity.

Fallopian tubes are slender tubes that extend from the ovaries of a woman to her uterus, and through which eggs pass. Blocked fallopian tubes will prevent this process from occurring and result in infertility in a woman. There are two tests that are most commonly used to determine if a woman’s fallopian tubes have become blocked.

Up to 1/4 of female infertility cases are as a result of blocked fallopian tubes. Tubal blockage, along with tubal scarring, can be brought about by such factors as infections of the pelvic region, scar tissue formed after a pelvic surgical procedure, or a condition known as pelvic endometriosis. This is a disease that sees some of the tissue that lines the uterus spreading to the ovaries or to other parts of a woman’s reproductive system. Statistics show that as many as 40 percent of infertile women have this problem.

Hysterosalpingogram (HSG)

The hysterosalpingogram (HSG) is normally the first test that will be employed to discover if the fallopian tubes are blocked. It is performed in hospitals using X-rays and a contrast dye. The dye will be injected through a woman’s cervix during a hysterosalpingogram and into her uterine cavity; all the while, she is being monitored via a series of X-rays. Open fallopian tubes will allow this dye to pass through to the abdominal cavity, which the X-rays will allow the technician to see.

Even if the hysterosalpingogram shows that the fallopian tubes are open, it does not necessarily mean they are still normal and functioning correctly. The lining inside fallopian tubes can be badly damaged but still allow the contrast dye to make it through. If they are severely scarred, they may not be working properly, and could be unable to transport an egg into the uterus. Scarred fallopian tubes can cause what is called a tubal pregnancy, in which the fertilized egg becomes lodged in the tube and starts to develop–a potentially dangerous situation.

Laparoscopy

The other common test to discover injuries and blockages in the fallopian tubes is the laparoscopy. A very small incision will be made in the woman’s belly button, and a slender, telescopic tube with a camera on the end will be inserted into her. The camera is able to show doctors what type of damage is present in the uterus and

Complications And Management Of Fibroids In Pregnant Women

In some women, uterine fibroids do not always cause obvious symptoms, meaning they can be asymptomatic at times. Consequently, the first time a pregnant woman may discover she has fibroids is when she goes for her first routine prenatal scan.

Fortunately, most fibroids are harmless and cause few complications during pregnancy. Some women diagnosed with fibroids before becoming pregnant may worry that pregnancy will cause the fibroid(s) to grow more rapidly; particularly as excess estrogen hormones are a known risk factor. Recent research indicates that most fibroids (80 percent) do not actually increase in size during pregnancy and those that do, shrink back to their pre-pregnancy size again after childbirth. If a fibroid is going to grow, it is likely to do so in the first trimester of pregnancy.

It is estimated that one in every 1,000 pregnant women has fibroids, although this figure may be underestimated. Fibroids are more likely to occur in women experiencing a pregnancy after 35 and those who underwent infertility treatment. It is estimated in both categories that the incidence rate could be as high as between 12 to 25 percent.

Common Complications

Common fibroid Complications

Abdominal Pain

Many women with fibroids notice increased abdominal pain when they become pregnant. This is due to a condition technically known as red degeneration of fibroids. It is caused by the hemorrhage of blood into the tumor which starves the surrounding tissues. It affects about 10 percent of all women with fibroids during pregnancy. Most commonly it occurs in the last trimester or when fibroids are over 5cm in size.

Symptoms may appear similar to those of a twisted ovarian tumor or acute appendicitis. That is: sudden pain, a general feeling of unwellness and fever. The tongue may be dry and the pulse races. Constipation and tenderness in the area of the abdomen where the fibroid is located are also signs.

Although, the pain is unpleasant, it is not usually anything to worry about. Do always report any pain or bleeding to your pregnancy healthcare team. Bed rest for 3 or 4 days in addition to safe pain relievers (analgesics) is usually prescribed.

Abdominal Pressure

As the baby grows and space is restricted in mother’s body, fibroids may cause an uncomfortable pressure as they squeeze on nearby organs. A sharp pain in the legs and lower back may occur if nerves become restricted and compressed.

Type, Size and Location

Receiving an accurate fibroids diagnosis is important as this will provide information on the type of fibroid growth, its size, how many there are, and where they are located. One study carried out in 1993 investigated 12,500 pregnant women with fibroids and discovered in the vast majority of cases (88 percent), only one fibroid was present. They reported an increased risk of pain and bleeding during pregnancy in women with large fibroids measuring 200cm cube volumes or more, or when the fibroid was located underneath the placenta.

For this reason, knowing as much as possible about the type(s) of fibroid present will help a physician predict how it is likely to react during pregnancy.

For example, submucosal fibroids, the least common type, can grow through the lining of the uterus and make the cavity inside the womb too small for the baby to grow in over 9 months. In fact nearly 40 percent of pregnancies with submucosal fibroids end up in miscarriage (often before the woman even knows she is expecting).

Subserosal fibroids project out of the uterus wall and can grow quite large. Although they do not affect space inside the womb, they are more likely to result in abdominal pain or pressure.

Pedunculated fibroids are attached to the uterus by thin stalks, they do not tend to cause problems in pregnancy although if the stalks twist (fibroid torsion), they can cause a severe sharp pain.

Less Common Complications

Miscarriage

The chance of spontaneous miscarriage is greater in women with fibroids. Research indicates that multiple fibroids increase the chance by nearly 24 percent compared to a single fibroid at 8 percent. The location of the fibroid is important as submucosal fibroids for example can increase the rate of miscarriage significantly. Why fibroids should increase the chance of miscarriage is not clear but it may be because the tumors increase irritation of the uterine or they have a compressive (squeezing) effect on the womb or they may reduce blood supply to the developing placenta and fetus.

Bleeding In Early Pregnancy

The truth is that you can still ovulate if your fallopian tubes are blocked. This is due to the fact that your ovaries aren’t connected to your fallopian tubes; therefore, a properly functioning ovary is still free to perform its regular, once-a-month duty of releasing an egg for fertilization.

The end of the fallopian tube that lies closest to the ovary is a bit wider than the end connected to your uterus. It also contains projected muscular tissue that enables it to catch the egg after your ovary releases it. Once the egg is in the tube, tiny hairs lining the inside of the tube help propel the egg to the uterus.

Blocked Path

Your tubes can become narrowed or blocked at any point along their approximately 4-inch length, according to Clear Passage Therapies. So, the egg could make it inside your fallopian tube, but the constriction will either prevent sperm from reaching the egg or prevent the egg from making its way to your uterus.

Common Causes of Blocked Tubes

Fallopian tubes can become blocked for several reasons. Pelvic inflammatory disease is a common cause. Sexually transmitted diseases such as chlamydia or gonorrhea can create inflammation and

In today’s modern, fast paced society, it is easy for people to become stressed. In fact, one would almost think that being stressed is the “in” thing, and if you aren’t stressed it must mean there is something wrong with you! Realistically however, stress is not a good thing for our bodies in general, and has a very real impact on fertility.

Can Stress Have an Effect on Your Fertility?

Believe it or not, our bodies are equipped to prevent conception from occurring during times of extreme stress. The presence of adrenalin, the hormone that is released by our bodies during stressful times, signals to our body that conditions are not ideal for conception. Adrenaline inhibits us from utilizing the hormone progesterone, which is essential for fertility. It also causes the pituitary gland to release higher levels of prolactin, which also causes infertility to occur.

How Stress Impacts Fertility

Recent research tells us that stress boosts levels of stress hormones such as cortisol, which inhibits the body’s main sex hormones GnRH (gonadotropin releasing hormone) and subsequently suppresses ovulation, sexual activity and sperm count.

GnRH is responsible for the release of Luteinizing hormones and follicle-stimulating hormones by the pituitary, the suppression of testosterone, estrogens, and sexual behavior.

Chronic stress may cause lack of libido as well as a decrease in general fertility. This has become such a common issue that they have created a name for it Stress Induced Reproductive Dysfunction.

These facts are very important to consider if you have been trying to conceive with no results. It also shows that stress releif should be a part of every couples conception plan even if they are going through IVF.

Trying to carry a pregnancy to term during stressful times places the fetus at risk. The body knows this, which is why it creates an environment that is basically inhospitable to conception. Generally, a stressed person is an unhealthy person. Women with stress are generally overly tired, filled with nervous tension and may not be living a healthy style, not eating properly or worse.
Reducing Stress for Fertility

If you are having difficulty conceiving, stress may very well be a factor. If you have had fertility tests performed and have found that there is no medical reason for your infertility, it is time to evaluate your life and determine how much stress you have. Of course, you may not even have need for an evaluation. You may know you are stressed. In that case, it is time to start defeating that stress to help your fertility.
How to Reduce the Effect of Stress on Your Fertility

1. Reduce the stress in your life. This of course if obvious, as well as easier said than done. But reducing the stress in your life is so important on so many levels. It will not only help your fertility and health but

Fibroids (leiomyomata uteri) are the most common benign tumors of the uterus. They usually come in a variety of shapes and sizes, as well as numbers, in the uterus. Very rarely do they turn to cancer – the exact incidence being less than 1% in a patient’s lifetime.

Women who are at risk usually;

have a family history
are Black or Hispanic and
may have an elevated Body Mass Index (BMI)

While there is still a lot to understand about the development of fibroids, they grow for two reasons:

1) hormones, in particular estrogen, and

2) blood supply

Fibroids can be located in different parts of the uterus. Just like real estate, it’s all about location, location, location! There are some fibroids that are located underneath the surface of the uterus, which are called subserosal; these generally do not cause bleeding but can cause pressure. There are those that are embedded in the muscle of the uterus, which are called intramural. Finally, there are those fibroids that affect the lining of the uterus, which are called submucosal, and these are the ones that usually present with excessive bleeding.

Symptoms and Tests

The most common symptoms of fibroids are heavy bleeding, pressure, increased frequency in urination, pelvic pain and infertility. Although, most fibroids do not usually cause pain, but if they outgrow their blood supply, it can cause pain due to degeneration (which means tissue breakdown). Fibroids are usually diagnosed with a pelvic exam and a pelvic sonogram. Transvaginal sonography is very good at detailing whether a fibroid is affecting the uterine lining or not.

Effects on Pregnancy

One of the most common questions that we do get from our readers is whether a fibroid patient can become pregnant with a fibroid. Again, location is key. Depending on where it is, whether it affects the cavity where the baby grows or blocks the fallopian tube
