LowS***mCount

Topic : Spotlight on Low S***m Count and Pregnancy Chances

Overview

Management (Treatments and drugs) for low s***m count include

1. Surgery. Some disease conditions in the male reproductive parts can reduce/ affect s***m production and function. Surgical correction of these disorder can help maximize s***m quality and function. For example, a varicocele (swelling in the sc***um) can often be surgically corrected or an obstructed vas deferens (a vital part of the male reproductive part) repaired. Also, prior vasectomies (surgery to cut the flow of s***m) can be reversed. In cases where no s***m are present in the ej*****te, s***m can often be retrieved directly from the testicles using s***m retrieval techniques.

2. Treating incriminating infections. Antibiotics can cure an infection of the reproductive tract, but, please note this doesn't always restore fertility.

3. Treatments for s*xual in*******se problems. Medication or counseling can help improve fertility in conditions such as erectile dysfunction or premature ej*******on.

4. Hormone treatments and medications. In some instances, your doctor might recommend hormone replacement or medications in cases where infertility (low s***m count) is caused by high or low levels of certain hormones or problems with the way the body uses hormones.

5. And, if all the above mentioned failed, then, “Assisted reproductive technology” (ART) will be the last resort. This treatments involve obtaining s***m through normal ej*******on, surgical extraction or from donor individuals, depending on your specific case and wishes. The s***m are then inserted into the female ge***al tract, or used for in vitro fertilization IVF
And, what if the treatment doesn't work

In rare cases, unfortunately male fertility (low s***m count) can’t be treated, and it's impossible for a man to father a child. If this is the case, you and your partner can consider either using s***m from a donor or adopting a child.

Lifestyle and home remedies

There are steps you can take at home to increase your chances of getting your partner pregnant, if you have low s***m count, these include:

1. Increasing the frequency of s*x. Having s*xual in*******se every day or every other day beginning at least four days before ovulation increases your chances of getting your partner pregnant, even with low s***m count. KEEP TRYING. DONT GIVE UP

2. Having s*x when fertilization is possible. A woman is likely to become pregnant during ovulation, which normally occurs in the middle of the menstrual cycle, between periods. This will ensure that s***m, which can live several days, are present when conception is possible. ( Targeting the fertile window)

3. Avoiding lubricants. Some products such as Astroglide or K-Y jelly, lotions, and saliva might impair s***m movement and function and further worsen the low s***m count. Please, ask your doctor about s***m-safe lubricants.

● GeneralPrevention

To protect your fertility, avoid known factors that can affect s***m count and quality.

For example:

1. Don't smoke.
2. Limit or abstain from alcohol.
3. Steer clear of illicit drugs.
4. Talk to your doctor about medications that can affect s***m count.
5. Maintain a healthy weight.
6. Avoid heat.
7. Manage stress.
8. Avoid exposure to pesticides, heavy metals and other toxins.

When S*x Becomes Painful, What You Should Do And Know.

In*******se pain, or dyspareunia, can cause problems in a couple's s*xual relationship. In addition to the physically painful s*x, there is also the possibility of negative emotional effects. So the problem should be addressed as soon as it arises.
● What Causes Painful S*x in Women?
In many cases, a woman can experience painful s*x if there is not sufficient va**nal lubrication. When this occurs, the pain can be resolved if the female becomes more relaxed, if the amount of foreplay is increased, or if the couple uses a s*xual lubricant.

In some cases, a woman can experience painful s*x if one of the following conditions is present:

1 • Vaginismus. This is a common condition. It involves an involuntary spasm in the va**nal muscles, sometimes caused by fear of being hurt.

2 • Vaginal infections. These conditions are common and include yeast infections.

3 • Problems with the cervix (opening to the uterus). In this case, the p***s can reach the cervix at maximum pe*******on. So problems with the cervix (such as infections) can cause pain during deep pe*******on.

4 • Problems with the uterus. These problems may include fibroids that can cause deep in*******se pain.

5 • Endometriosis. This is a condition in which the tissue that lines the uterus grows outside the uterus.

6 • Problems with the ovaries. Problems might include cysts on the ovaries.

7 • Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). With PID, the tissues deep inside become badly inflamed and the pressure of in*******se causes deep pain.

8 • Ectopic pregnancy. This is a pregnancy in which a fertilized egg develops outside the uterus.

9 • Menopause. With menopause, the va**nal lining can lose its normal moisture and become dry.

10• In*******se too soon after surgery or childbirth.

11 • S*xually transmitted diseases. These may include ge***al warts, herpes sores, or other STDs.

12 • Injury to the v***a or va**na. These injuries may include a tear from childbirth or from a cut (episiotomy) made in the area of skin between the va**na and a**s during labor.

13 • Vulvodynia. This refers to chronic pain that affects a woman's external s*xual organs -- collectively called the v***a -- including the l***a, cl****is, and va**nal opening.

It may occur in just one spot, or affect different areas from one time to the next. Doctors don't know what causes it, and there is no known cure. But self-care combined with medical treatments can help bring relief.

● How Can Painful S*x In Women Be Treated?

~ Some treatments for painful s*x in women do not require medical treatment. For example, painful s*x after pregnancy can be addressed by waiting at least six weeks after childbirth before having in*******se. Make sure to practice gentleness and patience. In cases in which there is va**nal dryness or a lack of lubrication, try water-based lubricants.

~ Some treatments for female s*xual pain do require a doctor's care. If va**nal dryness is due to menopause, ask a health care professional about estrogen creams or other prescription medications. Other causes of painful in*******se may also require prescription drugs.

~ For cases of s*xual pain in which there is no underlying medical cause, s*xual therapy might be helpful. Some individuals may need to resolve issues such as guilt, inner conflicts regarding s*x, or feelings regarding past abuse.
~ Call a doctor if there are symptoms such as bleeding, ge***al lesions, irregular periods, va**nal discharge, or involuntary va**nal muscle contractions. Ask for a referral to a certified s*x counselor if there are other concerns that need to be addressed.

Hepatitis B Guidelines for Pregnant Women

What is hepatitis B?
Hepatitis B is the most common serious liver infection in the world, caused by the hepatitis B virus (HBV) which are known to attack the cells of the liver cells therefore cause liver failure, cirrhosis (scarring) or cancer of the liver later in life.

The virus is transmitted through contact with infected blood and bodily fluids.

If I am pregnant, should I be tested for hepatitis B? Yes!
Pregnant women who are infected with hepatitis B could infect their baby during pregnancy or delivery. Up to 90% of these babies will become chronically infected with hepatitis B at birth if there is no prevention.

ALL pregnant women should be checked and tested for hepatitis B to prevent infection.

What if I test positive for hepatitis B while I am pregnant?
If you are pregnant woman and you have a positive test for hepatitis B infection, you would need to see a liver specialist for further evaluation. However most of the women would not have any pregnancy complications as a result of HBV infection, it is always better to get checked up.

How can I protect my newborn from hepatitis B?
If you are pregnant and you test positive for hepatitis B, your newborn child must be given two shots in the delivery room - the first dose of hepatitis B vaccine and one dose of hepatitis B immune globulin (HBIG). If these two medications are given correctly within the first 12 hours of life, it gives the newborn a better chance , actually a 95% chance of being protected against a lifelong hepatitis B infection. However, the baby would need additional doses of hepatitis B vaccine at one and six months of age to provide complete protection.

If your baby does not receive these drugs at the appropriate times, then there is a greater than 90% possibility that your baby could become chronically infected. **There is no second chance!**

It is vitally important that all newborns be vaccinated at birth against hepatitis B!

Can I breastfeed my baby if I am infected with hepatitis B?
The WHO and the CDC has declared it safe for an infected woman to breastfeed her child. All women with hepatitis B are encouraged to breastfeed their babies since the benefits of breastfeeding outweigh the potential risk of transmitting the virus through breast milk. In addition, since all newborns should receive the hepatitis B vaccine at birth, the risk of transmission is therefore even reduced further.

How will I know if I am infected with hepatitis B?
***All pregnant women should be tested for hepatitis B.***

The 3-part hepatitis B blood panel includes the following:

1. Hepatitis B Surface Antigen (HBsAg): The “surface antigen” is part of the hepatitis B virus that is found in the blood of someone who is infected. If this test is positive, then the hepatitis B virus is present.

2. Hepatitis B Surface Antibody (HBsAb or anti-HBs): The “surface antibody“ is formed in response to the hepatitis B virus. Your body can make this antibody if you have been vaccinated, or if you have recovered from a hepatitis B infection. If this test is positive, then your immune system has successfully developed a protective antibody against the hepatitis B virus. This will provide long-term protection against future hepatitis B infection.

3. Hepatitis B Core Antibody (HBcAb or anti-HBc): This antibody does not provide any protection or immunity against the hepatitis B virus. A positive test indicates that a person may have been exposed to the hepatitis B virus. This test is often used by blood banks to screen blood donations. However, all three test results are needed to make a diagnosis.

How do I protect my child if another family member is infected with hepatitis B?
Babies and children can be exposed to HBV from an infected dad, sibling, or other family member living in the same household. This can occur through contact with infected blood and bodily fluids. Vaccination is the best prevention against spreading the hepatitis B virus!

How can I prevent getting hepatitis B if someone in my household is infected?the recommendation is that anyone living in a household with an infected family member should be
vaccinated.

Until your vaccine series is complete, it is important to avoid sharing any sharp instruments such as razors, toothbrushes, or earrings, etc. since small amounts of blood can be exchanged through these items. Also, infected individuals should be careful to keep all cuts properly covered. Blood spills should be cleaned with gloves and a 10% bleach/water solution.

Hepatitis B is not transmitted casually and it cannot be spread through sneezing, coughing, hugging, or eating food prepared by someone who is infected with Hepatitis B.

Get checked out. People perish not because of lack, but lack of knowledge.

SwollenGlands.

Swollen Glands in Kids

So, what is a gland?

Also called Lymph glands (or lymph nodes) are very important part of the body’s defense, more of soldiers against infection and illness and any abnormality. These glands normally contain special groups of cells, called lymphocytes, which act as wall to infection.

The lymphocytes in turn produce substances called antibodies that destroy or immobilize infecting cells or poisons. So, the antibodies are like the foot soldiers that protect our body from invaders! When lymph glands become enlarged or swollen, it usually means that the lymphocytes have increased in number due to an infection or other illness and that they are being called into action to produce extra antibodies to defend our body.

Swollen glands are fairly common among kids for the simple fact, they are easily exposed to various infections and harmful substances.

How will you know if your child’s gland is swollen?

Normally If your child has swollen glands, it will be visible to the naked eye and you’ll be able to feel them too. They also may be tender (painful when touched. Oftentimes, if you look near the gland, you can find the infection or injury that has caused it to swell.
For example, a sore throat often will cause glands in the neck to swell, or an infection on the arm will produce swollen glands under the arm. Swollen glands are common in kids! Don’t go fretting or freaking out when you see one!

However, sometimes the illness th may be a generalized one, such as those caused by a virus, in which case many glands might be slightly swollen. In general, because children have more viral infections than adults, lymph nodes, particularly in the neck, are more likely to be enlarged.
PLEASE NOTE, Swollen glands at the base of the neck and just above the collarbone may be an infection or even a tumor within the chest, and should be examined by a physician as soon as possible.

Treatment & Prevention

Majority of cases of swollen glands are not serious and will usually disappears after the illness that caused it is gone. Normally the glands gradually return to normal over a period of weeks.
PLEASE NOTE, you should call the pediatrician if your child shows any of the following:

1. Lymph glands swollen and tender for more than five days
2. Fever higher than 101 degrees Fahrenheit (38.3 degrees Celsius)
3. Glands that appear to be swollen throughout the body
4. Tiredness, lethargy, or loss of appetite
5. Glands that enlarge rapidly, or the skin overlying them turning red or purple

• As with any infection, if your child has a fever or is in pain, you can give her acetaminophen (Paracetamol) in the appropriate dosage for her weight and age until you can see the pediatrician.
• Please remember to keep a diary of the time frame of the swollen glands. When you call, your doctor probably will ask you some questions to try to determine the cause of the swelling, so it will help if you do a little investigating beforehand. For instance, if the swollen glands are in the jaw or neck area, check if your child’s teeth are tender or her gums are inflamed, and ask her if there is any soreness in her mouth or throat.
• Remember to mention to your doctor any exposure your child has had to animals (especially cats) or wooded areas. Also check for any recent animal scratches, tick bites, or insect bites or stings that may have become infected.
• The treatment for swollen glands will depend on the cause. If there’s a specific bacterial infection in nearby skin or tissue, antibiotics will clear it, allowing the glands gradually to return to their normal size.

• However, if the gland itself has an infection, it may require not only antibiotics but also warm compresses to localize the infection, followed by surgical drainage. If this is done, the material obtained from the wound will be cultured to determine the exact cause of the infection. Doing this will help the doctor choose the most appropriate antibiotic.

• In the event that your pediatrician cannot find the cause of the swelling, or if the swollen glands don’t improve after antibiotic treatment, further tests will be needed. Special tests can confirm this diagnosis. In cases where the cause of a swollen gland is unclear, the pediatrician also may want to do a tuberculosis skin test.
• If the cause of prolonged swelling of lymph nodes cannot be found in any other way, it may be necessary to perform a biopsy (remove a piece of tissue from the gland) and examine it under a microscope. In rare cases this may reveal a tumor or fungus infection, which would require special treatment.
Prevention
Of all the causes of swollen glands, the only swollen glands that are preventable are those that are caused by bacterial infections in the surrounding tissue. In cases of suspected infection, you can avoid involving the lymph nodes by properly cleaning all wounds and receiving early antibiotic treatment.

ANC, What, When and Why in Pregnancy

What

What is ANC

This is a SPECIAL care given to all confirmed pregnant women. It is the routine health check and control of presumed healthy pregnant women without symptoms (screening), with aim of diagnosing any ongoing diseases or complications that might arise from the ongoing pregnancy. During ANC, pregnant women with/ without symptoms are provided information about lifestyle, pregnancy and delivery.

When

When should ANC start? At what month is the right time to start antenatal?

• This can vary depending on your location, but globally, it is advised, you start as early as possible. Matter of fact, the earlier you start attending antenatal check-ups the better. The World Health Organization recommends that pregnant women should commence ante natal visit at the second missed period.
• So, I will personally say, as soon as you confirm you are clinically pregnant with ultrasound, start. It is better to start early, than to start late!
• The globally accepted schedule is as follows.:
• Start as soon as possible and then attend antenatal check-ups once a month until 28 weeks.
• After, 28 weeks, attend twice a month until you are 36 weeks pregnant.
• After 36 weeks, and during the last 4 weeks of your pregnancy you should go every week.
FYI, this can vary depending on your location and hospital. Women with high risk pregnancy will start EARLY!
• In this WHO recommends, a total of four visits which are made for uncomplicated pregnancies. This is however flexible, it can be more or less depending on the status/ health of the pregnancy. The arrangement is usually flexible.

Why

So, why ANC?

During your first visit, which is called booking visit, you will be subjected to series of investigations, this will generally vary from one region of the world to another based upon the most prevalent health conditions that constitute risk to the pregnant women and the baby.

Recommendation

Investigations During ANC

These will include:

1. Urine test for sugar and proteins.

2. Blood test for blood group, genotype, HIV screen, screen for syphilis, and screen for hepatitis B.

3. An obstetric ultrasound scan done to confirm the wellbeing of the baby. The early ultrasound scan apart from confirmation of the pregnancy is very useful for accurate dating of the pregnancy. Late scan is not, as accurate.

Vaccines

Vaccines Needed in Pregnancy, Any recommended number?

This is once again dependent on your location/ region of the world. There are no fixed numbers. They are given on need basis.
1. Teta**s toxoid immunization is also given to the pregnant women
2. You should get the Tdap vaccine (to prevent, specifically whooping cough/ pertussis)
3. Flu vaccine
4. Hepatitis B
5. Some women may need other vaccines before, during, or after they become pregnant. For example, if you have a history of chronic liver disease, your doctor may recommend the hepatitis A vaccine.
6. If you work in a lab, or if you are traveling to a country where you may be exposed to meningococcal disease, your doctor may recommend the meningococcal vaccine.

WHO Declarations

Good care during pregnancy is important for the health of the mother and the development of the unborn baby. Pregnancy is a crucial time to promote healthy behaviors and parenting skills. Good ANC links the woman and her family with the formal health system, increases the chance of using a skilled attendant at birth and contributes to good health through the life cycle. Inadequate care during this time breaks a critical link in the continuum of care, and effects both women and babies:

MAKING A VALID DEFENCE FOR SUPPLEMENTS

Over the years, there has always been a debate on the relevance of Nutritional Supplements. The opinion in most quarters is that, if you can afford good food, you may not really need to supplement with Vitamins and Minerals as practiced by a lot. So is it really necessary to supplement your diet?

Every day, your body produces skin, muscle, and bone. It churns out rich red blood that carries nutrients and oxygen to remote outposts, and it sends nerve signals skipping along thousands of miles of brain and body pathways. It also formulates chemical messengers that shuttle from one organ to another, issuing the instructions that help sustain your life.
But to do all this, your body requires some raw materials. These include at least 30 vitamins, minerals, and dietary components that your body needs but cannot manufacture on its own in sufficient amounts.

Vitamins and minerals are considered essential nutrients—because acting in concert, they perform hundreds of roles in the body. They help shore up bones, heal wounds, and bolster your immune system. They also convert food into energy, and repair cellular damage

Generally speaking, your body only needs a small amount of vitamins and minerals every day. A varied diet generally provides enough of each vitamin and mineral. However, many may need supplements to correct deficiencies of particular vitamins or minerals. So, lets make an attempt to furnish you with reasons why you need supplements.

REASON 1: MICRO WITH MACRO ROLES:

Vitamins and minerals are often called micro nutrients because your body needs only tiny amounts of them. Yet failing to get even those small quantities virtually guarantees disease. Here are a few examples of diseases that can result from vitamin deficiencies.

Scurvy : Old-time sailors learned that living for months without fresh fruits or vegetables—the main sources of vitamin C—causes the bleeding gums and listlessness of scurvy. Blindness: In some developing countries, people still become blind from vitamin A deficiency.

Rickets: A deficiency in vitamin D can cause rickets, a condition marked by soft, weak bones that can lead to skeletal deformities such as bowed legs.

Just as a lack of key micro nutrients can cause substantial harm to your body, getting sufficient quantities can provide a substantial benefit. Some examples of these benefits:

• Strong bones. A combination of calcium, vitamin D, vitamin K, magnesium, and phosphorus protects your bones against fractures.
• Prevents birth defects. Taking folic acid supplements early in pregnancy helps prevent brain and spinal birth defects in offspring.
• Healthy teeth. The mineral fluoride not only helps bone formation but also keeps dental cavities from starting or worsening.

REASON 2: DAILY VALUE CONSIDERATIONS

For those who would argue that they feed well, how do you ascertain the required daily amount your body needs? For instance you can get beta-carotene from the carrots you eat, but how many carrots will you eat in a day to be sure that you will get just the amount your body needs? Thus, the need to use supplements.

REASON 3: THE NATURE OF VITAMINS

Although Vitamins and minerals are all considered micro nutrients, vitamins and minerals differ in basic ways. Vitamins are organic and can be broken down by heat, air, or acid. Minerals are inorganic and hold on to their chemical structure.
So why does this matter? It means the minerals in soil and water easily find their way into your body through the plants, fish, animals, and fluids you consume. But it’s tougher to shuttle vitamins from food and other sources into your body because cooking, storage, and simple exposure to air can inactivate these more fragile compounds. This is where supplements play critical role for users.

REASON 4: NUTRIENT INTERACTIONS

Many micro nutrients interact. Vitamin D enables your body to pluck calcium from food sources passing through your digestive tract rather than harvesting it from your bones. Vitamin C helps you absorb iron. This is another reason why you should take supplements.

REASON 5: THE WATER SOLUBLE FACTOR

Water-soluble vitamins are packed into the watery portions of the foods you eat. They are absorbed directly into the bloodstream as food is broken down during digestion or as a supplement dissolves.
Because much of your body consists of water, many of the water-soluble vitamins circulate easily in your body. Your kidneys continuously regulate levels of water-soluble vitamins, shunting excesses out of the body in your urine. This tells you need to supplement your diet to replace these nutrients that may be lost from time to time.

REASON 6: THE BENEFICIAL ROLES OF ANTIOXIDANTS

Antioxidant is a catchall term for any compound that can counteract unstable molecules such as free radicals that damage DNA, cell membranes, and other parts of cells.
Your body cells naturally produce plenty of antioxidants to put on patrol. The foods you eat—and, perhaps, some of the supplements you take—are another source of antioxidant compounds. Carotenoids (such as lycopene in tomatoes and lutein in kale) and flavonoids (such as anthocyanins in blueberries, quercetin in apples and onions, and catechins in green tea) are antioxidants. The vitamins C and E and the mineral selenium also have antioxidant properties.

Free radicals are a natural byproduct of energy metabolism and are also generated by ultraviolet rays, to***co smoke, and air pollution. They lack a full complement of electrons, which makes them unstable, so they steal electrons from other molecules, damaging those molecules in the process.

Free radicals have a well-deserved reputation for causing cellular damage. But they can be helpful, too. When immune system cells muster to fight intruders, the oxygen they use spins off an army of free radicals that destroys viruses, bacteria, and damaged body cells in an oxidative burst. Vitamin C can then disarm the free radicals.

Antioxidants are able to neutralize marauders such as free radicals by giving up some of their own electrons. When a vitamin C or E molecule makes this sacrifice, it may allow a crucial protein, gene, or cell membrane to escape damage. This helps break a chain reaction that can affect many other cells.

You can be rest assured that one place you can find such supplements which guarantees all the beneficial effects highlighted above is in Swissgarde. So ask the Swissgarde distributor near you ,how to get these time tested nutritional aids.
