Amaka Chukwu EModi Medically reviewed by Debra Rose Wilson, PhD, MSN, RN, IBCLC, AHN-BC, CHT on February 6, 2018 — Written by Brindles Lee Macon & Winnie Yu Types Causes Risk factors Symptoms Diagnosis Treatment Outlook What are fibroids? Fibroids are abnormal growths that develop in or on a woman’s uterus. Sometimes these tumors become quite large and cause severe abdominal pain and heavy periods. In other cases, they cause no signs or symptoms at all. The growths are typically benign, or noncancerous. The cause of fibroids is unknown. Fibroids are also known by the following names: leiomyomasmyomasuterine myomasfibromas According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), about up to 80 percent of women have them by the age of However, most women don’t have any symptoms and may never know they have fibroids. What are the different types of fibroids? The type of fibroid a woman develops depends on its location in or on the uterus. Intramural fibroids Intramural fibroids are the most common type of fibroid. These types appear within the muscular wall of the uterus. Intramural fibroids may grow larger and can stretch your womb. Subserosal fibroids Subserosal fibroids form on the outside of your uterus, which is called the serosa. They may grow large enough to make your womb appear bigger on one side. Pedunculated fibroids Subserosal tumors can develop a stem, a slender base that supports the tumor. When they do, they’re known as pedunculated fibroids. Submucosal fibroids These types of tumors develop in the middle muscle layer, or myometrium, of your uterus. Submucosal tumors aren’t as common as the other types. What causes fibroids? It’s unclear why fibroids develop, but several factors may influence their formation. Hormones Estrogen and progesterone are the hormones produced by the ovaries. They cause the uterine lining to regenerate during each menstrual cycle and may stimulate the growth of fibroids. Family history Fibroids may run in the family. If your mother, sister, or grandmother has a history of this condition, you may develop it as well. Pregnancy Pregnancy increases the production of estrogen and progesterone in your body. Fibroids may develop and grow rapidly while you’re pregnant. Who is at risk for fibroids? Women are at greater risk for developing fibroids if they have one or more of the following risk factors: pregnancy, a family history of fibroidsage of 30 or older African high body weight What are the symptoms of fibroids? Your symptoms will depend on the number of tumors you have as well as their location and size. For instance, submucosal fibroids may cause heavy menstrual bleeding and trouble conceiving. If your tumor is very small or you’re going through menopause, you may not have any symptoms. Fibroids may shrink during and after menopause. This is because women undergoing menopause are experiencing a drop in their levels of estrogen and progesterone, hormones that stimulate fibroid growth. Symptoms of fibroids may include: heavy bleeding between or during your periods that includes blood clots pain in the pelvis or lower back increased menstrual cramping increased urination pain during intercourse menstruation that lasts longer than usual pressure or fullness in your lower abdomen swelling or enlargement of the abdomen How are fibroids diagnosed? For a proper diagnosis, you’ll need to see a gynecologist to get a pelvic exam. This exam is used to check the condition, size, and shape of your uterus. You may also need other tests, which include: Ultrasound An ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves to produce images of your uterus on a screen. This will allow your doctor to see its internal structures and any fibroids present. |

NATURAL ULCER TREATMENT In times of fasting and prayer, this is ulcer treatment you can rely on. Gotten from benedictine monks at Ewu Ishan in Edo state, Nigeria. 1. - Get raw pawpaw and wash it. (It must be raw, not ripe) 2. - Do not peel it and do not remove the seeds. 3. - After washing the outside neatly, slice it without peeling it into small small pieces. The cutting should be small like sugar cubes. 4. - Put all the small pieces of the raw pawpaw into any clean container. Fill the container with water to stop at the same point the sliced pawpaw stopped. 5. - Leave the pawpaw in the water for four days. For example if u soak it on a Monday, I count Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday will be the fourth day. On the Fourth day, the water will be looking white in colour. Seive it and throw away the pawpaw and the water becomes your cure for ulcer. DOSAGE: Drink half a glass of the pawpaw water every morning, afternoon and evening. You will no longer feel those ulcer pains because it will heal the wounds inside that are causing the pain. This morning, afternoon and evening drinking of the pawpaw water can continue for weeks and months depending on how severe the ulcer is. It is not relief. It is a cure.

Written By Revolva: Bad breath is an embarrassing condition caused by bacteria that breed beneath the surface of the tongue and often the throat area. It is important for you to fix it to prevent mouth odour. i shares 5 ways you can solve and get rid of the issue of bad breath. Hydrate Drinking enough water is one of the simplest steps you can take to curb bad breath. When your mouth doesn't have enough moisture to produce saliva, odour-causing bacteria can develop. Clean your tongue Cleaning your tongue can effectively decrease halitosis-causing compounds. These compounds form on your tongue and in your mouth when bacteria and amino acids combine, releasing an unpleasant smell. So cleaning your tongue regularly is important in fighting bad breath. Fruits and vegetable Eating fibrous fruits and vegetables like apples, bananas, oranges, potatoes among others help moisten the mouth and remove the bacteria in the mouth, thus helping you get rid of mouth odour. Good oral hygiene Good oral care is another important way to deal with bad breath. So, brush your teeth at least twice a day (in the morning when you wake and at night before you sleep). It is very important you don’t neglect to brush your teeth at night because while you sleep little or no saliva is being produced. Use a mouth rinse Use a mouth rinse after every meal. This helps reduce gingivitis and freshens breath. Mouthrinse alone is not an effective remedy but should be used in addition to regular brushing and flossing. Stop or reduce taking alcohol! Excessive alcohol intake makes your breath smell bad angry Go for a liver check; sometimes liver disease can lead to bad smell or mouth odour (google "Fetor hepaticus) Don't brush before eating, brush after eating Bad kidney or kidney disease can also cause bad breath |

Home Remedies for Swollen Ankles, Legs, and Feet There are many effective home remedies to reduce swelling in your ankles, legs, and feet. These natural methods can help to relieve occasional bouts of leg swelling and give you welcome relief from the discomfort that ankle edema causes. Please remember, that if you have any chronic leg swelling or you have swelling in only one leg that is accompanied with pain, you should see your doctor for proper medical advice. 1. Exercise Regular physical exercise is a great way to stimulate your blood circulation and stop fluid retention in your legs and ankles. For example, swimming is a great way to take pressure off your feet and, at the same time, boost your circulation.The journal International Archives of Medicine reported that exercising was an efficient way to reduce lower limb edema. This can help reduce ankle swelling if you have a sedentary lifestyle or if your swollen feet and ankles are due to aging. 2. Raise your legs Another effective way to reduce fluid retention in your legs and ankles is to raise your legs above the level of your heart.For example, the journal Angiology reported that raised-leg exercises helped many elderly people reduce the size of their swollen ankles. They exercised for 20 minutes, 3 times a day and results were seen within a 4-week period.One easy way to keep your legs raised for an extended period of time to reduce leg edema is to sleep on your back with a pillow under your ankles. This will help to drain excess fluid that has built up around your ankles and feet. 3. Walk around If you have swollen ankles and feet from standing or sitting for too long, you should get up every so often and walk around. This helps to stimulate your circulation and prevent too much fluid accumulating in your ankles. The International Journal of Vascular Medicine reported that walking helps to reduce the volume of fluid that builds up in the base of the leg. The researchers found that walking for 50 minutes in the afternoon can help reduce edema and leg pain during the day. The results were enhanced by wearing compression socks. Doctors from the Cleveland Clinic also recommend that to prevent fluid retention and ankle swelling you shouldn’t sit or stand in one place for too long without moving. 4. Compression socks Compression stockings can help to reduce foot swelling if you have to sit or stand for long periods of time. In fact, compression socks help also to prevent swollen ankles and feet and can make going about your daily activities much easier. Compression stockings help to get rid of the symptoms of fluid retention in the legs by forcing the blood and excess fluid back up the body.In fact, the journal Dermatologic Surgery published a study showing the effectiveness of compression stockings if you have to sit for long periods of time. It was found that the compression stockings helped to reduce ankle and leg size in the evening and were recommended for people who have to sit or stand for their job. Compression stocking can be useful to prevent leg and ankle swelling if you are pregnant or have to fly a long distance. 5. Foot massage To help reduce ankle and foot swelling while you are pregnant, you can try a relaxing foot massage. Massage therapy is a great way to naturally stimulate circulation and help reduce the signs and symptoms of edema. The International Journal of Nursing Practice reported that foot massage helps to remove a buildup of fluid in the lower-leg area. In the study, women who were pregnant received foot massages for 20 minutes a day for 5 days. This was found to decrease swelling in the legs and ankles naturally.You can do your own foot massage or have someone do it for you. This will not only help get rid of ankle swelling but also help relax you and act as a natural stress reliever. 6. Reduce salt intake If you find that your ankles and legs are swollen, you should reduce your salt intake to prevent accumulation of fluid. Your body needs a little salt for it to function properly, but too much salt can have a detrimental effect on your heart, kidney, and cardiovascular system. Doctors from the American Academy of Family Physicians recommend reducing salt intake if you are getting treated for edema.15 In fact, the Cleveland Clinic says that reducing the amount of salt (sodium) in your diet helps to prevent a buildup of fluid in your legs, heart, and lungs. 7. Stop smoking To keep healthy, it’s important that you stop smoking now. Smoking can cause many health problems that lead to serious diseases like various cancers, heart disease, and lung disease. Quitting smoking will also improve your circulation and prevent hand, leg, and ankle edema. The Journal of the American Medical Association published a study that found that smoking increases the risk of peripheral artery disease (PAD) – a condition that affects blood flow in your body.17 According to the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, PAD usually affects blood flow to your legs. 8. Soak in Epsom salts Soaking in Epsom salts is a great way to relax and relieve aching muscles in your legs and feet. There is some anecdotal evidence that having a foot bath in Epsom salts could also relieve swelling in your ankles. The British Medical Journal published comments from a retired nurse that used Epsom salt soaks to reduce leg swelling. The nurse reported that it is well-known that Epsom salts are an effective remedy for swollen feet. She used an Epsom salt bath to increase blood circulation and reduce discomfort in swollen legs caused by heart disease.To find out how to make a therapeutic foot bath with Epsom salt, please read my article on the benefits of Epsom salts for your feet. Other Ways to reduce Swollen Ankles, Legs, and Feet 9. Drink plenty of water We are all guilty of often not drinking enough fluids. By drinking water throughout the day, we hydrate our tissues and detox the body. Sodium and caffeine, which contribute to feet inflammation, get diluted if we water ourselves sufficiently. Eight to ten glasses a day should be the norm. So make sure you carry that water bottle with you. For added antioxidant value, squeeze some lemon or lime in or prepare your own flavored water. 10. Consume enough magnesium Often feet inflammation, which can result in painful swelling, is connected to magnesium deficiency. Please read my article about magnesium deficiency in which you will find information about how to identify a magnesium deficiency and how to stay magnesium sufficient. |

Sneezes are very powerful, they could travel at a speed of 100 mph, that could rupture a blood vessel in your brain, perforate ur ear drum or even cause air to be trapped in your chest or between ur lungs if held in. When you feel like sneezing, SNEEZE OUT! Make it a habit to turn the other way and sneeze out, don't try to sneeze in, it's dangerous. It has nothing to do with being an Ajebutter or Ajekpako. Allow your system release the viruses in your system. Sneezing could be a sign that you are feeling sick and needs to act. Credit/Source: @trending_medic |
