Endometrial polyps
Fibroids
Endometrial cancer

4. Sexually transmitted infections (STIs)
Chlamydia
Gonorrhoea
Trichomoniasis
Herpes

5. Hormonal causes
Use of oral contraceptive pills
Hormonal imbalance
Menopause

Signs and Symptoms
Blood during or after s*x
Pain during in*******se (dyspareunia)
Abnormal va**nal discharge
Foul-smelling discharge
Lower abdominal pain
Irregular menstrual bleeding
Predisposing Factors

Generalized Body Itching (Pruritus), Especially After Taking a Bath

Generalized body itching, particularly after bathing (often called aquagenic pruritus when triggered by water contact), is a sensation of itching affecting most or all parts of the body, usually without obvious skin rashes. It can be due to skin conditions, systemic diseases, environmental factors, or reactions to water, soaps, or temperature.

🌹Causes

Dry skin (Xerosis) – very common, worsened by hot water and harsh soaps.
Aquagenic pruritus – itching triggered by contact with water, regardless of temperature.
Allergic or irritant reactions – soaps, sponges, towels, detergents, antiseptics.
Hot water exposure – increases skin dryness and histamine release.
Skin conditions – eczema, atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, urticaria.
Systemic diseases:
Liver disease (e.g., cholestasis)
Kidney failure (uremia)
Diabetes mellitus
Thyroid disorders
Iron deficiency anemia
Blood disorders – e.g., polycythemia vera (classically causes itching after bath).
Infections – HIV, parasitic infestations.
Hormonal changes – pregnancy, menopause.
Medications – opioids, antimalarials, ACE inhibitors.
Psychogenic causes – anxiety, stress.

🌹Signs and Symptoms

Generalized itching, worse after bathing or showering
Tingling, prickling, or burning sensation on the skin
Itching without visible rash (common in aquagenic pruritus)
Dry, flaky, or cracked skin
Excoriation (scratch marks)
Sleep disturbance due to itching
Thickened skin in chronic cases (lichenification)

🌹Predisposing Factors

Frequent bathing, especially with hot water
Use of harsh soaps or antiseptics
Cold or dry weather
Increasing age (elderly skin is drier)
Poor hydration
Pregnancy
Chronic medical conditions (diabetes, liver or kidney disease)
Family history of atopy (allergy-related conditions)

CANDIDIASIS DURING PREGNANCY

Candidiasis during pregnancy is a fungal infection caused mainly by Candida albicans. It commonly affects the va**na and v***a of pregnant women due to hormonal and immunological changes that favor fungal overgrowth. Vaginal candidiasis is one of the most frequent infections seen in pregnancy.

Causes

Candidiasis occurs when there is overgrowth of Candida species, which are normally present in small amounts in the body. During pregnancy, the balance of normal va**nal flora may be disrupted, leading to infection.

Common causes include:

Increased estrogen levels during pregnancy
Altered va**nal pH
Reduced immune response
Overgrowth of Candida albicans

Types of Candidiasis in Pregnancy

Vulvova**nal candidiasis (VVC) – most common type in pregnancy
Oral candidiasis (oral thrush)
Cutaneous candidiasis – affects skin folds
Recurrent vulvova**nal candidiasis – repeated infections (4 or more episodes per year)

Signs and Symptoms

Pregnant women with candidiasis may experience:
Thick, white, curd-like va**nal discharge (often odorless)
Vaginal itching and irritation
Burning sensation, especially during urination or s*xual in*******se
Redness and swelling of the v***a
Soreness or pain in the va**nal area

Predisposing Factors

These are conditions that make a pregnant woman more likely to develop candidiasis:
Hormonal changes during pregnancy
Increased va**nal glycogen
Weakened immune system
Poor personal hygiene
Prolonged use of tight or non-breathable underwear

Risk Factors

Factors that increase the likelihood of developing candidiasis include:
Diabetes mellitus or gestational diabetes
Use of antibiotics
Use of corticosteroids
Previous history of candidiasis
High-sugar diet
HIV or other immunosuppressive conditions

Preventive Measures

Candidiasis during pregnancy can be prevented through the following measures:
Maintaining good ge***al hygiene
Wearing loose, cotton underwear
Avoiding tight clothing
Avoiding unnecessary use of antibiotics
Keeping the ge***al area dry
Eating a balanced diet and reducing excessive sugar intake
Regular antenatal care visits
Prompt treatment of va**nal infections

Candidiasis is a common but manageable condition during pregnancy. Early recognition of symptoms, proper hygiene, and adherence to preventive measures can reduce its occurrence and complications. Pregnant women should seek medical attention for proper diagnosis and safe treatment.

🌹HYPOTENSION
(Another silent Killer)

Hypotension is a medical condition characterized by abnormally low blood pressure, usually defined as a systolic blood pressure of less than 90 mmHg and/or a diastolic blood pressure of less than 60 mmHg. It occurs when blood flow to vital organs is inadequate, leading to symptoms and possible organ damage.

---

Signs and Symptoms

The symptoms of hypotension vary depending on the severity and underlying cause. Common signs and symptoms include:

Dizziness or lightheadedness

Fainting (syncope)

Blurred vision

Weakness or fatigue

Nausea or vomiting

Cold, clammy, or pale skin

Rapid or shallow breathing

Confusion or difficulty concentrating

Shock in severe cases

---

Predisposing Factors

Predisposing factors are conditions or situations that increase the likelihood of developing hypotension:

Dehydration due to vomiting, diarrhea, or excessive sweating

Prolonged bed rest

Pregnancy

Blood loss (trauma, surgery, or menstruation)

Aging (elderly individuals)

Prolonged standing

Severe infections

---

Risk Factors

Risk factors that increase the chance of developing hypotension include:

Heart diseases (e.g., heart failure, bradycardia)

Endocrine disorders such as diabetes or adrenal insufficiency

Use of certain medications (antihypertensives, diuretics, antidepressants)

Severe allergic reactions (anaphylaxis)

Neurological disorders (e.g., Parkinson’s disease)

Malnutrition

Chronic illnesses

---

Laboratory Investigations

Laboratory tests help identify the cause and assess the severity of hypotension. These include:

Blood pressure measurement (lying, sitting, and standing – postural BP)

Complete blood count (CBC) – to detect anemia or infection

Blood glucose level – to rule out hypoglycemia

Serum electrolytes – to assess dehydration or electrolyte imbalance

Renal function tests (urea and creatinine)

Hormonal tests (e.g., cortisol, thyroid function tests)

Blood cultures if infection or sepsis is suspected

ECG and echocardiography to assess cardiac function

---

Preventive Measures

Hypotension can be prevented or managed through lifestyle and medical interventions:

Adequate fluid intake to prevent dehydration

Balanced diet with sufficient salt (as advised by a healthcare provider)

Avoid sudden changes in posture (rise slowly from sitting or lying positions)

Wearing compression stockings

Avoid prolonged standing

Regular monitoring of blood pressure

Proper management of underlying medical conditions

Reviewing medications with a healthcare provider
