Menstrual Disorders

Asya — Sat, 16 Aug 2008 14:06:57 +0000

Menstrual disorders occur when certain factors interrupt a woman’s menstrual cycle. In normal function, the menstrual cycle lasts from 21 to 42 days. It includes the growth of the uterine lining, (endometrium) and its shedding during menstruation. Hormones in the brain and the ovaries control the menstrual cycle in women in their reproductive years.
Many disruptions and disorders can affect the menstrual cycle. Pregnancy is one of the most common. When a woman becomes pregnant, her menstrual cycle is disrupted because the uterine lining remains to provide a place for the fertilized egg to implant and grow. Menstrual disorders can also affect menstruation. These disorders can be temporary or permanent and may have an effect on the patient’s fertility. (more…)

Are you needed of eye cream ?

Asya — Sat, 16 Aug 2008 13:52:16 +0000

The skin around the eyes is very delicate, thin, and susceptible to damage. It’s also among the first places we see changes in our appearance, because of its thinness. Before you buy any eye cream, you need to take into consideration what problems you need addressed by an eye cream. Whether you have baggy eyes, puffy eyes, crow’s feet, fine lines, or dark circles, the many eye creams in stores serve different purposes to specifically combat the environmental conditions that cause our various eye problems. For instance, facial moisturizers are not intended nor recommended for use around the eyes, because of ingredients that are too strong for the delicate eye area. Don’t be overwhelmed; make a decision that’s based on your needs. One recommendation: Eye creams need to be applied to the lower lid, and along the outer corner (never rub or pull the delicate skin!). (more…)

What is asthma?

Asya — Sat, 16 Aug 2008 13:46:08 +0000

Asthma affects a person’s bronchial (pronounced: brahn-kee-ul) tubes, also known as airways. When a person breathes normally, air is taken in through the nose or mouth and then goes into the trachea (windpipe), passing through the bronchial tubes, into the lungs, and finally back out again. But people with asthma have airways that are inflamed. This means that they swell and produce lots of thick mucus. They are also overly sensitive, or hyperactive, to certain things, like exercise, dust, or cigarette smoke. This hyperctivity causes the smooth muscle that surrounds the airways to tighten up. The combination of airway inflammation and muscle tightening narrows the airways and makes it difficult for air to move through. (more…)

Some methods of contraception

Asya — Sat, 16 Aug 2008 13:42:22 +0000

There are so many different types of contraception available that you should be able to find the right method. You may have to try several different things before you hit on the one you like most. We have reached the stage where unplanned pregnancies should be rare, because there are so many good methods of birth control.
The male condom is the only method of contraception that boys can use. It’s really just a rubber tube. It’s closed at one end like the finger of a glove so that when a boy puts it over his penis it stops the sperm going inside a girl’s body. An advantage of using male condoms is that a boy can take an active part in using contraception – it’s not just left to the girl. (more…)

Heroin Effects

Asya — Sat, 16 Aug 2008 13:30:33 +0000

There are many different types of heroin effects that a drug user can experience, and heroin effects can be extremely detrimental to a person’s mind and body. Heroin is an opiate derived from the drug morphine, and its highly addictive properties and quick acting-effects made it a popular street drug immediately.
With the exception of anabolic steroids, drugs in the other classes are utilized to alter mood, thought, and feeling through their actions on the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord). For example, some of these drugs alleviate pain, anxiety, or depression. Some induce sleep and others energize. Though therapeutically useful, the “feel good” effects of these drugs contribute to their abuse. The extent to which a substance is reliably capable of producing intensely pleasurable feelings (euphoria) increases the likelihood of that substance being abused. (more…)

Hemorrhoid

Asya — Sat, 16 Aug 2008 11:23:45 +0000

Hemorrhoids are enlarged veins in the anus or lower rectum. They often go unnoticed and usually clear up after a few days, but can cause long-lasting discomfort, bleeding and be excruciatingly painful. Effective medical treatments are available, however.
Many anorectal problems, including fissures, fistulae, abscesses, or irritation and itching, also called pruritus ani, have similar symptoms and are incorrectly referred to as hemorrhoids. Hemorrhoids usually are not dangerous or life threatening. In most cases, hemorrhoidal symptoms will go away within a few days. Although many people have hemorrhoids, not all experience symptoms. The most common symptom of internal hemorrhoids is bright red blood covering the stool, on toilet paper, or in the toilet bowl. However, an internal hemorrhoid may protrude through the anus outside the body, becoming irritated and painful. This is known as a protruding hemorrhoid. (more…)

Asya — Sat, 16 Aug 2008 10:51:06 +0000

The procedures: Liposuction

Asya — Sat, 16 Aug 2008 10:21:49 +0000

Liposuction is performed through small, inconspicuous incisions. First, sterile liquid solution is infused to reduce bleeding and trauma. Then a thin hollow tube, or cannula, is inserted through these incisions to loosen excess fat using a controlled back and forth motion. The dislodged fat is then suctioned out of the body using a surgical vacuum or syringe attached to the cannula. The thighs, abdomen, buttocks, flanks, hips, upper arms, chin, jowels, and neck generally respond well. Men and women may also choose liposuction to reduce breast size, a procedure that results in less scarring than other types of plastic surgery. Liposuction can be performed consecutively on many different sites; in fact, many patients choose to have several body parts treated during the same day. (more…)

What is a ovulation?

Asya — Sat, 16 Aug 2008 10:16:36 +0000

A woman’s monthly cycle is measured from the first day of her menstrual period until the first day of her next period. On average, a woman’s cycle normally is between 28-32 days, but some women may have much shorter cycles or much longer ones. Ovulation can be calculated by starting with the day the last menstrual period (LMP) starts or by calculating 12-16 days from the next expected period. Most women ovulate anywhere between Day 11 - Day 21 of their cycle, counting from the first day of the LMP. This is what many refer to as the “fertile time” of a woman’s cycle, because sexual intercourse during this time increases the chance of pregnancy. Ovulation can occur at various times during a cycle, and may occur on a different day each month. (more…)

The Fats and Cholesterol

Asya — Sat, 26 Jul 2008 13:33:08 +0000

Eating some fat is necessary. It is an important source of concentrated energy - it has more than twice as many calories per ounce as sugar, starch or protein. Fats help carry fat- soluble vitamins A, D, E and K. In addition, a specific type of fat found in plants is essential for proper functioning of our bodies. Fats can also make food taste better, aid in cooking, and help keep the hunger pangs away. The total amount of fat you eat, whether high or low, isn’t really linked with disease. What really matters is the type of fat you eat. (more…)

Pesticides and Herbicides

Asya — Sat, 26 Jul 2008 13:26:36 +0000

More than a million preschoolers consume at least 15 pesticides a day in food, according to our latest study of government data. Some 324,000 kids age five and under exceed federal safety standards every day for just one neurotoxic insecticide, methyl parathion. Methyl parathion is the most toxic organophosphate insecticide approved for use on food. It’s so toxic that the EPA’s “daily” safe dose for the compound is 0.000025 milligrams per kilogram of human body weight. A 154-pound person would exceed the EPA daily dose by eating less than two one-millionths of a gram of the chemical (002 milligrams). Some apples and peaches are so contaminated with methyl parathion that a kid can exceed the government’s safe daily limits with just two bites. A 154-pound adult eating such an apple would ingest only half of the current safe daily dose, whereas it would put a 44-pound child 67 percent over his or her “safe’ limit”. (more…)

Anti -stress therapy

Asya — Sat, 26 Jul 2008 13:21:35 +0000

What is stress? It is our reaction to our external environment as well as our inner thoughts and feelings. Stress in essence is our body’s natural response to dangers, the “fight or flight” mechanisms—the body’s preparedness to do battle or flee from danger.
Stress can generate many symptoms and diseases, mediated by changes in immune function, hormonal response, and biochemical reactions, which then influence body functions in our digestive tract and our cardiovascular, neurological, or musculoskeletal systems. A wide variety of problems such as headache, backache, and infection, even heart disease or cancer in the long-term, may result. (more…)

Therapeutic Benefits of Roses

Asya — Sat, 26 Jul 2008 13:07:00 +0000

The healing tradition associated with the rose is no less remarkable than its fragrance and beauty. The 17th-century English physician Culpeper wrote that red roses strengthen the heart. He may have been referring to a physical action, but anyone who has inhaled fresh roses or their essential oil knows the aroma strengthens the heart spiritually and emotionally as well. In aromatherapy, the psychological effects are wondrous for those with a broken heart, or other emotional wounds. Rose oil calms and supports the heart center, inspiring a sense of happiness and well-being. When rejection or loss has injured one’s ability to love and nurture, either themselves or those around them, rose oil can bring sweet and gentle comfort and allow an emotional “re-opening”. (more…)

What is Feng Shui?

Asya — Sat, 26 Jul 2008 12:35:06 +0000

Feng Shui (literally “wind water”) is part of an ancient Chinese philosophy of nature. Feng Shui is often identified as a form of geomancy divination by geographic features, but it is mainly concerned with understanding the relationships between nature and ourselves so that we might live in harmony within our environment. Feng Shui is related to the very sensible notion that living with rather than against nature benefits both humans and our environment. It is also related to the equally sensible notion that our lives are deeply affected by our physical and emotional environs. Feng Shui serves to reconnect us with nature and the universe, and in doing so enables us to not only understand our environment better but also ourselves” - Master Yu Gui Feng Yin and Yang. (more…)

Facial Cleaning

Asya — Sat, 26 Jul 2008 11:53:53 +0000

Cleansing the face removes bacteria and makeup. Use three pea-size amounts of gel cleanser: one for each cheek and one for the forehead, nose, and chin. Use your fingers to work the cleanser into the skin, then rinse with warm (not hot) water. Your skin should feel clean, but not stripped or waxy after you clean. Facial scrubs help clean the surface of the skin by removing the dead skins and the dirt mechanically. We recommend that you use a facial scrub that contains a mild abrasive. The coarseness of these abrasives vary. For example, it may contain very fine, mild base of oatmeal or ground-up almonds. Some products may contain, however, coarser materials such as silica or fine sand or the shells of almonds, apricots, or walnuts. (more…)

The hit on white jeans

Asya — Sat, 26 Jul 2008 11:45:55 +0000

Spring into summer with the latest fashion hit: white jeans.
Outside of a sweet sundress, nothing screams summer’s advent quite like a pair of crisp, white jeans. They speak of barbecues and sandals, of fresh-squeezed lemonade and long lazy weekends spent putting “Summertime” by DJ and the Fresh Prince on full blast.
Wearing white jeans feels a little silly when we know they won’t flatter older asses without careful calibration and we undoubtedly face stains and smudges. And yet we yearn to wear them anyway as summer approaches. That combination of fool hardy sartorial joy and adult worry perfectly captures the new feel and makes them a perfect complement to a nominally flattering pairs of white trouser jeans like. Just remember that all of these worries really don’t matter much when you are laying out hundreds of dollars for white pants and a striped tank top. But the ability to worry is one of the great boons of adulthood. (more…)
