Garlic for sperm motility: Garlic has a lot of therapeutic properties. It contains two magic elements – allicin, which improves blood flow to his sexual organs and protects sperm from damage, and selenium, an antioxidant that improves sperm motility. However, other studies indicate that excessive consumption of garlic can inhibit testicular functions and impair sperm count. So limit yourself to having two to four cloves a day to improve your sexual health.

It is imperative to maintain a healthy balance between the vaginal flora that are dominated by various lactobacillus species (helps protect the vaginal) and bacteria such as yeast infections and bacteria vaginosis (which are harmful to the vaginal). While it depends somewhat on various factors such as; a woman's age, hormonal imbalance and pH of the vagina e.t.c, the vaginal generally produces an acidic pH, which contains bacteria that are beneficial to the vagina and help keeps it lubricated.
Although, the human body naturally takes care of itself and requires little help from us. Good simple and personal hygiene for women is a good head start to maintain a healthy vagina.

Thus, following this steps will help you maintain a healthy vagina:

Avoid douching! Normally, some women uses douching as a means of covering the strong smell that comes out from the vagina by using soaps or vagina cleansers. The vagina has a pH of about 3.8 to 4.5, indulging in douching can interfere with the pH of the vagina which can result to disrupting a healthy biome-and setting the stage for bacterial infections.

A healthy diet an happy vagina: Eating well and exercising frequently has a direct or indirect impact on the condition of the vagina. Infact, certain foods may be effective in treating vaginal health problems and make your vagina smell better (pineapple, for instance and garlic). Also, It is medically advisable for women to consume more yogurt as it can help inhibit any growth of harmful bacteria and treatment of yeast infections, incase you are wondering how does yogurt prevent yeast infections?.

Yogurt is rich in probiotics, especially plain greek yogurt, so a woman who frequently suffers from yeast infection, taking a probiotic that is rich in lactoballi or eating plain Greek yogurt everyday can be of much help.

Health / Women And Cervical Cancer by tigerex27: 12:07pm On Sep 20, 2018
Overview of Cervical cancer

Cervical cancer is malignant neoplasm of the cervix uteri or cervical area. One of the most common symptoms is abnormal vaginal bleeding, but in some cases there maybe no obvious symptoms until the cancer is in its advanced stages. Treatment consists of surgery (including local excision) in early stages and chemotherapy and radiotherapy in advanced stages of the disease.
Pap smear screening can identify potentially precancerous changes , treatment of high grade changes can prevent the development of cancer. In developed countries, the widespread use of cervical screening programs has reduced the incidence of invasive cervical cancer by 50% or more.

Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is a necessary factor of the development of almost all cases of cervical cancer. Human papillomavirus vaccines effective against the two strain of HPV that currently cause approximately 70% of cervical cancer have been licensed in the U.S, Canada, Australia and the E.U. Since the vaccines only cover some of the cancer causing (high-risk) types of HPV, women should seek regular Pap smear screening, even after vaccination.

The cervix is the narrow portion of the uterus where it joins with the top of the vagina. Most cervical cancers are squamous cell carcinomas, arising in the squamous (flattened) epithelial cells that line the cervix. Adenocarcinoma, arising in glandular epithelial cells is the second most common types. Very rarely, cancer can arise in other types of cells in the cervix.



QUICK FACTS ON CERVICAL CANCER

- Cervical cancer symptoms includes bleeding between menstrual periods and after sex.

- It is both the fourth most common cause of cancer and the fourth most common cause of death from cancer in women.

- About 70% of cervical cancer occur in developing countries.

- Survival rates are good if cervical cancer is caught early.

- Precancerous changes in the cervix may be treated with cryosurgery, cauterization, or laser surgery.

- In medical research, the most famous immortalised cell line known as Hela was developed from cervical caner cells of a woman named Henrietta Lacks.


CAUSES OF CERVICAL CANCER
Hpv infection with high risk types has been shown to be a necessary factor in the development of cervical cancer. HPV DNA maybe detected in virtually all cases of cervical cancer.
Human papillomavirus (HPV) is found in about 99% of cervical cancers. There are over 100 different types of HPV, most of which are considered low-risk and do not cause cervical cancer. High-risk HPV types may cause cervical cell abnormalities or cancer. More than 70 percent of cervical cancer cases can be attributed to two types of the virus, HPV-16 and HPV-18, often referred to as high-risk HPV types.

HPV is estimated to be the most common sexually transmitted infection in the United States. In fact, by age 50 approximately 80% of women have been infected with some type of HPV. The majority of women infected with the HPV virus do NOT develop cervical cancer. For most women the HPV infection does not last long; 90% of HPV infections resolve on their own within 2 years. A small number of women do not clear the HPV virus and are considered to have “persistent infection. A woman with a persistent HPV infection is at greater risk of developing cervical cell abnormalities and cancer than a woman whose infection resolves on its own. Certain types of this virus are able to transform normal cervical cells into abnormal ones. In a small number of cases and usually over a long period of time (from several years to several decades), some of these abnormal cells may then develop into cervical cancer.

SYMPTOMS OF CERVICAL CANCER

Early cervical cancer usually don't cause symptoms
When the cancer grows larger,women may notice one or more of these symptoms;
- Abnormal vaginal bleeding.

- Bleeding that occurs between regular menstrual periods.

- Bleeding after sexual intercourse, douching or a pelvic exam.

- Menstrual periods that last longer and are heavier than before.

- Bleeding after going through menopause.

- Increased vaginal discharge.

Health / Back Pain Can Be A Sign Of A Serious Health Problem by tigerex27: 1:14pm On Sep 18, 2018
Back pain (also known as dorsalgia) is pain felt in the back that usually originates from the muscles, nerves, bones , joints or other structures in the spine. The spine is a complex interconnecting network of nerves joints, muscles, tendons and ligaments, and all are capable of producing pain. Large nerve that originate in the spine and go to the legs and arms can make pain radiate to the extremities.
The pain can often be divided into neck pain, upper back pain, lower back pain or tailbone pain. It may have a sudden onset or can be a chronic pain; it can be constant or intermittent, stay in one place or radiate to other areas. It may be a dull ache or a sharp or piercing or burning sensation. The pain may radiate into the arm and in the upper back or in the low back and may include symptoms other than pain such as weakness, numbness or tingling.



SURPRISING FACTS ABOUT BACK PAIN

1. Back pain is one of humanity’s most frequent complaints. In the U.S., acute low back pain also called lumbago is the fifth most common reason for physician visits.

2. About nine out of ten adults experience back pain at some point in their life, and five out of ten working adults have back pain every year.

3. By its duration; acute(less than 4 weeks), sub acute (4-12 weeks), chronic (greater than 12 weeks).

4. Approximately 98% of back pain patients are diagnosed with nonspecific acute back pain which has no serious underlying pathology.


CAUSES OF BACK PAIN

There are several potential sources and causes of back pain. However, the diagnosis of specific tissues of the spine as the cause of pain presents problems. This is because symptoms arising from different spinal tissues can feel very similar and is difficult to differentiate without the use of invasive diagnostic intervention procedures such as local anesthetic blocks.

One potential source of back pain is skeletal muscles of the back. Potential causes of pain in muscle tissue includes;

-Muscle strains

-Muscle spasm

-Muscle imbalances

N:B: Although, imaging studies do not support the notion of muscle tissue damage in many back pain cases, and the neurophysiology of muscle spasm and muscle imbalances is not well understood.

There are several common other potential sources and causes of back pain,these includes;

-Spinal disc herniation

-Degenerative disc disease or isthmic spondylolisthesis

-Lumbar spinal stenosis

-Trauma

-Cancer

-Fungal or bacteria infection such as tuberculosis, E-coli, staphylococcus

-Fractures

-Inflammatory disease. Continue reading=https=www.gregoryhealthworld.com/2018/09/causes-of-back-pain-and-treatment.html

Health / How You Can Protect Your Skin From Varicose Veins by tigerex27: 8:43pm On Jul 22, 2018
WHAT ARE VARICOSE VEINS?
Firstly, veins are blood vessels that return deoxygenated blood from the outer parts of the body back to the heart and lungs. When veins become abnormally thick, full of twists or enlarged, they are called Varicose veins.
Varicose veins can form anywhere in the body but they are most often located in the legs and it occurs when the valves in the veins do not work properly, so the blood does not flow effectively. In the U.S. alone, about 19% of men and 36% women have varicose veins. Veins in the leg are either superficial or deep. The superficial veins and their branches are close to the skin. These veins typically become varicose.

QUICK FACTS ON VARICOSE VEINS
- Pregnant women are more susceptible to varicose veins.

- Symptoms can include aching legs, swollen ankles and spider veins.

- People who are overweight have an increased risk of varicose veins.


CAUSES OF VARICOSE VEINS
Many theories exist for why varicose veins occur in veins but the consensus is that defective/damage valves within the veins are to blame. They keep blood in the vein moving towards the heart.
Why the valves stop working is up for debate, some experts think inherited problems cause some people to have too few valves or valves that do not function properly.
Some people maybe born with abnormalities of the vein wall. The resulting weakness may predispose the valves to separate and become leaky, the result is that when a person with poorly function valves stands up the blood flow actually reverses and flows down the superficial veins when it should be flowing up towards the heart. When the muscles surrounding the deep veins contract, emptying the deeper veins a build-up of pressure occurs. This causes even more blood to go the wrong way from the deep to the superficial veins through faulty valves in the perforated veins. This increases pressure in the superficial veins and causes varicosities.

RISK FACTORS OF VARICOSE VEINS
- Pregnancy.
- Obesity or disintended belly.
- Straining; chronic constipation, urinary retention from an enlarge prostate, chronic cough etc.
- Prior surgery or trauma to the leg.


SYMPTOMS OF VARICOSE VEINS
Varicose veins are relatively easy to identify and can be a cosmetic nuisance for many people. They provide or bulge from under the skin and feel ropey. The legs often ache, feel heavy and itchy, symptoms can intensify after a long day of standing on ones feet.
Varicose veins can be more prominent or first appear during menstruation or pregnancy and may be more bothersome during these times.

Varicose veins are prone to developing superficial thrombaphlebitis, which is a blood clot along with inflammation of a segment of vein.

Blood clot in the superficial veins are very easy to detect and troublesome but are usually harmless.
you may feel an area of tenderness and pain in the varicose vein, along with redness and swelling. The area may also feel hard or firm sometimes such areas can represent infection within the vein, so it is a good idea to visit your health care provider if you should develop any of these symptoms.


TREATMENT OF VARICOSE VEIN
Self-care at home
Treatments are available for varicose veins many of them are simple things you can start right now

1. Elevate your legs as much as possible if you can take half-hour breaks during the day to rest,do it.

2. Wear compression stockings/such as (Ted Host or Jobst stockings). The key is to put them on in the morning before if you start walking around and before your veins become more swollen.

3. if you are overweight, try to lose weight. A healthy diet high in fibre and low in fat.

4. Avoid alcohol, which can cause the veins in your legs to dilate.

5. Avoid wearing tight clothing such as girdles or belts.

6. Do not cross your legs when sitting.

7. If you are driving on a trip or working at a desk all day, try to get up and walk around every hour or so to allow the muscles to pump the blood out of the veins.

Medical treatment
1. Sclerotherapy involves injecting a chemical inside the vein that obliterates it. The treatment is only helpful for the spider veins and very small veins.
Complications associated with this technique includes;

-Allergic reactions to the chemical used.

-Stinging or burning at the various injection sites.

-Inflammation and permanent discolouration of the skin.

2. Use of Lasers: Lasers are frequently used in the treatment of smaller spider veins. It can cause changes in the colour or texture of the skin.
Multiple treatments are often required since this mode of therapy is relatively new, only time and experience will tell if it is as effective as older techniques.
