Here is some information to know about s*xually transmitted diseases
1. STDs are incredibly common: According to the World Health Organization (WHO), over 1 million s*xually transmitted infections (STIs) are acquired every day worldwide. That's an astounding number!
2. Some STDs are asymptomatic: Some people with STDs may not show any symptoms at all, which can make it challenging to diagnose and treat these infections.
3. STDs can have long-term consequences: If left untreated, some STDs can lead to serious health problems, such as infertility, chronic pain, and even death.
4. Some STDs can be transmitted even with condom use: While using condoms can reduce the risk of contracting an STD, some infections, such as herpes and HPV, can still be transmitted even with proper condom use.
5. STDs don't discriminate: Anyone who is s*xually active can contract an STD, regardless of their age, gender, or s*xual orientation.
6. There are many different types of STDs: STDs can be bacterial, viral, or parasitic in nature, and there are dozens of different types of infections that fall under the umbrella of "STDs."
7. There are effective treatments for many STDs: While some STDs are incurable, such as HIV, there are effective treatments available for many other types of infections, such as chlamydia and gonorrhea.
8. Prevention is key: The best way to avoid contracting an STD is to practice safe s*x, get tested regularly, and talk to your s*xual partners about their s*xual health history.
Overall, while STDs may not be the most glamorous topic, there is a lot of fascinating information to learn about these infections, and it's essential to be informed about how to protect yourself and others from contracting them.

“ If you meet the darkest moment of life, strive valiantly through it with courage and never retreat, for you shall surely meet light afterwards. If you meet the muddy stream of life, swim across it with tenacity to the very end for there is a clearer stream that shall wash your dirt away afterwards. If all people reject you in the mid of the arduous race of life, dare to smile and move on for there are people who await you to embrace you in the end “
Ernest Agyemang Yeboah

As 2020 is coming to an end i hope that our struggle with this pandemic also comes to an end quickly. Hope we can finally take off our masks and meet in public. Hope the economic crisis is reverted back. Hope the people who are sick heal quickly. Hope the people who have faced losses start feeling peace and comfort in knowing that which is lost from our sight,but not from our hearts. So lets hang in to hope. And wind the clock, for tomorrow is another day 🖤.

There is so much misinformation about pcos. So I decided to make a post to debunk the myths.

1. Irregular periods = PCOS : PCOS is not the only cause for irregular cycles, there are many causes for irregular cycles, like thyroid disorders, infections, stress, etc

2. Its impossible to lose weight if you have PCOS: It is true that you might have a slightly more difficult time losing weight as compared to the normal individual but persisting and putting in the slight extra effort will pay off and you will see results. Do not follow fad diets. There is not particular “PCOS Diet” just the regular plain old healthy diet, cutting out sugar, junk food, alcohol and caffeine will help. Along with portion control and regular exercise.

3. Your ultrasound maybe be normal but if u have symptoms of irregular periods and increased male hormones you can still have PCOS

4. Thin women can still have PCOS.

5. Patients with PCOS can suffer from fertility issues. But not all patients have difficulty getting pregnant. Many conceive naturally. But if you dont, consulting your gynaecologist for fertility treatment will help.

6. Diary / organic food, etc has no association with PCOS.

Following a healthy active lifestyle will go a long way if you are suffering from PCOS.
