TINEA CRURIS (JOCK ITCH)
Tinea Cruris (Jock Itch)
(Jock Itch, Groin Ringworm)


About this Condition
The Facts
Causes
Symptoms and Complications
Making the Diagnosis
Treatment and Prevention
The Facts
Tinea cruris, commonly referred to as jock itch, is a fungal infection in the groin area. It affects mostly adult men. It's caused by a type of fungus called dermatophytes. It grows in a circle on your skin and often looks like a ring. Due to irritation, the skin becomes red.

Some people think the infection looks like there is a worm under the skin. Because of this, this infection is often referred to as "ringworm," although no worm is actually involved. The fungi are commonly found on the skin surface and nails and are usually quite harmless. Under certain conditions, however, they can multiply dramatically, causing irritation and surface tissue damage.

You don't have to be athletic to get jock itch. Infections caused by these organisms go by the medical name tinea. Tinea pedis is athlete's foot; tinea capitis is ringworm of the scalp. Jock itch is tinea cruris, from the Latin word for leg. They are all caused by dermatophytes – only the infected area differs.

Classic jock itch affects the inner thighs, groin, and lower buttocks, not the genitalia themselves. If the sc***um is inflamed, it's probably due to a different yeast condition called candidiasis, and a physician should be consulted.

Causes
Dermatophytes like to grow on skin that's moist and warm and thrive in areas where skin comes into contact with other skin, such as the groin or between the toes. Overweight men are more likely to develop jock itch if they sweat a lot or have folds of touching skin. Tight clothing and hot, humid weather are other risk factors.

Men who play sports and use a male athletic guard are particularly prone to tinea infection. Sweaty equipment left in a locker makes an ideal environment for tinea to grow. The fungi can live on towels, floors, carpets, and toilet seats. Sharing towels, combs, and shoes can easily transmit fungal infections.

Since the same dermatophytes can cause different types of tinea, it is not uncommon for someone with athlete's foot to get jock itch by towelling his feet before his groin.

Symptoms and Complications
Tinea is often painful or itchy, but not in every case. There are visual clues to help identify a fungal infection. These include:

inflammation of the groin, a**l area, and upper thigh – not including the ge****ls themselves
slightly raised patch
sharp borders
expanding or spreading, with clearing in the centre
dry or scaly blisters (occasionally oozing or crusting)
abnormally dark or light skin
skin redness or inflammation
Fungal infections often spread out in a circle, leaving normal-looking skin in the middle. At the leading edge of the infection the skin is raised, red, and scaly.


Making the Diagnosis
Any number of conditions (e.g., eczema, lice, candidiasis, scabies, and seborrhea) can make the groin area itch, but a doctor can determine what is causing the problem. A doctor may scrape a small piece of irritated skin and examine it under a microscope. Sometimes, a doctor may send a skin sample to a laboratory to determine what is causing the skin irritation.

When a man sees his doctor about jock itch, he may be asked what sort of exercise he does, or what clothes he wears, or if he has any pets. Tinea can easily recur after treatment if the source of infection is not removed, so it's important to know where it came from.


Treatment and Prevention
Tinea cruris is considered a mild condition and is usually treated with medications that often do not require a prescription. It should easily clear up after 2 to 4 weeks with an antifungal cream, powder, or lotion applied to the affected area 2 or 3 times a day.

Antifungal creams and powders such as clotrimazole* or miconazole, available without prescription at the pharmacy, are effective against most dermatophytes. It's important to continue use after the infection has disappeared for as long as the instructions recommend. If athletes foot is also present it is important to treat it at the same time as well, otherwise the groin infection will likely recur.

If the inflammation persists for much more than 2 or 3 weeks despite antifungal medication, see a doctor. The doctor may prescribe a different antifungal cream or possibly an antifungal medication taken by mouth to treat the infection.

Follow these tips to help to relieve and prevent jock itch:

Wear loose-fitting clothing and underwear.
Change underwear often, especially after sweating.
Shower as soon as possible after exercising.
Wash exercise clothes after each use.
Don't sit around in a wet bathing suit.
Don't use another person's towel or clothes.
After showering, put socks on first. If underpants are put on first, foot fungus can rub off into the underwear, and cause jock itch.
Use corn starch in areas more likely to become infected to keep them free of moisture.
Take your pet to the vet if it has a rash or is missing patches of hair. This could be a possible sign of a tinea infection.

01/05/2020

The secret behind psoriasis development is the rapid growth of skin cells than your body can shade. it could be because of inflammation where your immune system triggers the rapid division and formation of new cells or genetics.

This disorder is usually diagnosed by physical examination, however, a biopsy can be taken to the laboratory, histologically examined or other examination done to confirm or rule out the presence of any skin infection.

It can be triggered by factors such as stress, alcohol and certain medication like antimalarial drugs, lithium, or blood pressure drugs.

Factors That Increase Your Chances of Conceiving Twins

Giving birth to a child is one of the most rewarding experiences for a woman. Some bring double happiness into their lives with twins. While most twin pregnancies are unplanned, having twins isn’t always luck. You can increase your chances of having twins ( or even triplets) if you take certain measures such as the consumption of certain herbs and different s*x positions.

Twins baby

How Are Twins Conceived?
There are two kinds of twins: identical and fraternal.

>
Fraternal twins, also known as dizygotic twins, are developed when the s***m fertilises two eggs. These twins are usually of opposite genders. They don’t share the same placenta or even the same genetic makeup.

Identical twins share the same placenta and the same genes. Also known as monozygotic twins, the gender of the twins is usually the same, with a few exceptions. In this case, the s***m fertilises an egg that later splits into separate embryos.

Factors That Increase Your Chances of Conceiving Twins
Studies show that women who have twins in their family have a greater likelihood of conceiving twins themselves. Apart from that, other factors that play a role are:

1. Multiple Pregnancies
Conceiving numerous times increases the chances of split or dual fertilisation. After the first time, conceiving becomes a lot easier and therefore, having twins becomes a definite possibility.

2. Your Body Type
Studies have proved that taller and heavier women stand a better chance of conceiving twins as compared to shorter and thinner women. Ladies who swear by a low-fat diet have a reduced chance of giving birth to twins.

3. Heredity
As mentioned earlier, genetics has a lot to do with having twins. Heredity doubles your chances if it’s on your mom’s side. Having a pair of twins in your partner’s family won’t increase your odds. Hyperovulation may be a hereditary condition and if that holds true, then the chances of your partner’s family history of having twins may not affect you as much.

4. Your Age
Women above the age of 30 produce follicle-stimulating hormones which increase the chances of having twins. These hormone levels support the release of high amounts of eggs during ovulation, thereby increasing the chances of having more than one baby.

5. Ethnicity
Your race plays an important role, as well. The twinning rates in Asia and Latin America are less than eight per 1,000 births. Women of European or African origin stand better a chance of conceiving twins.

6. Height
It’s believed that women who are taller (about 5′ 4.8″) are more likely to conceive twins than women averaging 161.8 cm (about 5′ 3.7″).

7. Fertility Treatments
Some fertility treatments like IVF can drastically increase your chances of becoming pregnant with twins. That’s because some fertility drugs stimulate the ovaries to release more than one egg at the time of ovulation.

Ways To Conceive Twins Naturally
If you’re wondering how to increase your chances of getting pregnant with twins, try these natural ways:

1. Delay Your Next Pregnancy
While multiple pregnancies can increase your chance of having twins, not taking a break between two pregnancies can reduce your chances.

2. Try to Conceive While Breastfeeding
Prolactin is a component that your body produces while you’re breastfeeding. This component has been known to increase your chances of getting pregnant and conceiving twins.

3. Increase Your Consumption of Dairy Products
Several growth hormones are found in milk and other dairy products made from cow milk, therefore it’s consumption is suggested if you want to conceive twins.

5. Ask Your Partner to Consume Zinc-Rich Foods
Since zinc-rich foods accelerate the production of s***ms, your partner should consume more of them. There are high chances that the fertilisation process helps in conceiving twins.

6. Eat Protein-Rich Foods
Since a lot of your chances of conceiving twins depends upon hyperovulation, protein-rich foods may be helpful to promote the same. Whole grains, tofu, soy isoflavones and especially yams help hyper-stimulate your ovaries, thereby increasing the chances of having twins.

7. Take Folic Acid Supplements
Although debated, this method has nonetheless shown some good results while trying to conceive twins. It is advised to take supplements as it’s known to prevent neural tube defects.

8. S*x Positions
Apart from the methods mentioned above, it is widely believed that certain s*x positions increase the chances of conceiving twins. Read on to find out more.

Fertility Treatments That Can Result in Twins
You would have a better shot at conceiving twins if you chose fertility treatments over natural methods. Some of the treatments are:

1. IUI (Intrauterine Insemination)
This method is usually teamed with fertility drugs to boost chances. In simple terms, s***ms are injected directly into the uterus which may fertilise more eggs than in the natural method.

2. IVF (In vitro Fertilization)
The gambit in this treatment is that the number of embryos placed in the uterus makes all the difference. Since multiple embryos are implanted, the likelihood of more than one embryo surviving increases. In fact, women have even been known to conceive identical twins by using this method.

Fertility Supplements And Drugs To Conceive Twins
Sometimes, it’s best to team two methods together for better results. As mentioned above, IUI is an excellent example of teaming treatment and drugs to enhance chances of conceiving twins. The basic idea behind these drugs or supplements is that it will regulate hormones while also promoting a healthy reproductive system. And, most importantly it will ensure that more eggs are released that can fertilise with s***ms.

Listed below are supplements and drugs that can help boost the process.

Drugs
1. Pergonal

This is used to treat infertility and as a supplement with other hormonal medicines during IVF

2. Clomid

This fertility medicine facilitates ovulation

3. Humegon

This medicine releases the follicle-stimulating hormone which helps in ovulation

Supplements
1. Progesterone

This is also known as the pregnancy hormone, and is crucial in sustaining pregnancy.

2. Folic Acid Supplements

This help eliminate congenital disabilities, especially those related to the spine and nervous system.

3. Gonadotropin

These hormones are responsible for the production of the s*x hormones which also stimulates ovulation.

Fertility Herbs For Having Twins
Here are a few useful fertility herbs that can boost your chances of conceiving twins.

1. Licorice Root
This sweet little herb is known to be quite a champion in helping conceive twins. It helps in the process of ovulation by regulating the menstrual cycle, while also regulating hormonal levels, thereby improving fertilisation.

2. Maca Root
Due to its role as an adaptogen, this root helps in a healthy reproduction process in the female body. In fact, this herb accelerates fertility in both females and males, thereby improving the chances of conceiving twins.

3. Flaxseed oil
This helps not just in creating a hormonal balance but also promotes better fertility in females. It also helps in regulating the menstrual cycle, thereby aiding ovulation and making conception easier.

4. Evening Primrose Oil
Apart from the other benefits of primrose oil, a lot of positive results have been seen as far as conception is concerned.

5. Sweet Cassava
Best taken through supplements, this herb helps with hyperovulation.

6. Chaste Tree Berry
This helps in promoting double-ovulation, while also keeping cysts at bay and therefore aids in the process of conceiving twins.

7. Black Cohosh
This is another natural substance that promotes fertility and conception of twins.

What Are the Risks of Conceiving Twins?
Twin pregnancies come with their own risks. Some of them are:

Low birth weight
Premature delivery
Stillbirth
Congenital disabilities like cerebral palsy and autism
Diabetes during pregnancy
Preeclampsia
Need for a C-section
FAQs

1. How Common Are Twins?
Twins are fairly uncommon, at least in India. But with fertility treatments increasing the incidence of twins, the numbers are constantly increasing.

2. I Have Twins in My Family. Does That Increase My Chances?
Genetics play an important role, and you stand a good chance of conceiving twins if there is a pair in your family. However, even genetics don’t come with a guarantee.

3. What are the Facts and Myths of having Twins?
Whether you are trying to conceive twins or merely exploring the possibility, you will come across several facts and fictions. Some of them are listed below:

Therapies such as aromatherapy, acupuncture, flower essences naturopathy or even chiropractic procedures do not increase the chances of having twins.
While genetics play an important role when it comes to conceiving twins, the finding that they alternate or skip generations is only a myth.
While eating proteins and dairy products accelerate ovulation, they do not guarantee conceiving twins.
Though age and weight can make a huge difference, it may not be the only deciding factor when it comes to conceiving twins.
While getting pregnant with twins can prove to be quite challenging, you can surely attempt the above-mentioned methods if you have your heart set on having twins.

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR):
First aid

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a lifesaving technique useful in many emergencies, including a heart attack or near drowning, in which someone's breathing or heartbeat has stopped. It is recommended that everyone — untrained bystanders and medical personnel alike — begin CPR with chest compressions.

It's far better to do something than to do nothing at all if you're fearful that your knowledge or abilities aren't 100 percent complete. Remember, the difference between you doing something and doing nothing could have effect to someone's life.

Advice;
If you are...

- Untrained. If you're not trained in CPR, then provide hands-only CPR. That means uninterrupted chest compressions of 100 to 120 a minute until paramedics arrive (described in more detail below). You don't need to try rescue breathing.

-Trained and ready to go. If you're well-trained and confident in your ability, check to see if there is a pulse and breathing. If there is no breathing or a pulse within 10 seconds, begin chest compressions. Start CPR with 30 chest compressions before giving two rescue breaths.
Trained but rusty. If you've previously received CPR training but you're not confident in your abilities, then just do chest compressions at a rate of 100 to 120 a minute. (Details described below.)
The above advice applies to adults, children and infants needing CPR, but not newborns (infants up to 4 weeks old).

CPR can keep oxygenated blood flowing to the brain and other vital organs until more definitive medical treatment can restore a normal heart rhythm.

When the heart stops, the lack of oxygenated blood can cause brain damage in only a few minutes. A person may die within eight to 10 minutes.

To learn CPR properly, take an accredited first-aid training course, including CPR and how to use an automated external defibrillator (AED). If you are untrained and have immediate access to a phone, call 112(emergency call in Tanzania) or your local emergency number before beginning CPR. The dispatcher can instruct you in the proper procedures until help arrives.

Before you begin

Before starting CPR, check:

Is the environment safe for the person?
Is the person conscious or unconscious?
If the person appears unconscious, tap or shake his or her shoulder and ask loudly, "Are you OK?"
If the person doesn't respond and two people are available, have one person call 111 or the local emergency number and get the AED, if one is available, and have the other person begin CPR.
If you are alone and have immediate access to a telephone, call 111 or your local emergency number before beginning CPR. Get the AED, if one is available.
As soon as an AED is available, deliver one shock if instructed by the device, then begin CPR.
Remember to spell C-A-B

Airway being opened
Open the airway

Rescue breathing
Letters C-A-B symbolize — compressions, airway, breathing — to help people remember the order to perform the steps of CPR.

Compressions: Restore blood circulation

Put the person on his or her back on a firm surface.
Kneel next to the person's neck and shoulders.
Place the heel of one hand over the center of the person's chest, between the ni***es. Place your other hand on top of the first hand. Keep your elbows straight and position your shoulders directly above your hands.
Use your upper body weight (not just your arms) as you push straight down on (compress) the chest at least 2 inches (approximately 5 centimeters) but not greater than 2.4 inches (approximately 6 centimeters). Push hard at a rate of 100 to 120 compressions a minute.
If you haven't been trained in CPR, continue chest compressions until there are signs of movement or until emergency medical personnel take over. If you have been trained in CPR, go on to opening the airway and rescue breathing.
Airway: Open the airway

If you're trained in CPR and you've performed 30 chest compressions, open the person's airway using the head-tilt, chin-lift maneuver. Put your palm on the person's forehead and gently tilt the head back. Then with the other hand, gently lift the chin forward to open the airway.
Breathing: Breathe for the person

Rescue breathing can be mouth-to-mouth breathing or mouth-to-nose breathing if the mouth is seriously injured or can't be opened.

With the airway open (using the head-tilt, chin-lift maneuver), pinch the nostrils shut for mouth-to-mouth breathing and cover the person's mouth with yours, making a seal.
Prepare to give two rescue breaths. Give the first rescue breath — lasting one second — and watch to see if the chest rises. If it does rise, give the second breath. If the chest doesn't rise, repeat the head-tilt, chin-lift maneuver and then give the second breath. Thirty chest compressions followed by two rescue breaths is considered one cycle. Be careful not to provide too many breaths or to breathe with too much force.
Resume chest compressions to restore circulation.
As soon as an automated external defibrillator (AED) is available, apply it and follow the prompts. Administer one shock, then resume CPR — starting with chest compressions — for two more minutes before administering a second shock. If you're not trained to use an AED , a 112 or other emergency medical operator may be able to guide you in its use. If an AED isn't available, go to step 5 below.
Continue CPR until there are signs of movement or emergency medical personnel take over.

Chest compressions
To perform CPR on a child

The procedure for giving CPR to a child age 1 through puberty is essentially the same as that for an adult. The American Heart Association also recommends the following to perform CPR on a child:

Compressions: Restore blood circulation

If you are alone and didn't see the child collapse, perform five cycles of compressions and breaths on the child — this should take about two minutes — before calling 112 or your local emergency number and getting the AED, if one is available.

If you're alone and you did see the child collapse, call 112 or your local emergency number and get the AED, if one is available, before beginning CPR. If another person is available, have that person call for help and get the AED while you begin CPR.

Put the child on his or her back on a firm surface.
Kneel next to the child's neck and shoulders.
Use two hands, or only one hand if the child is very small, to perform chest compressions. Press straight down on (compress) the chest about 2 inches (approximately 5 centimeters). If the child is an adolescent, push straight down on the chest at least 2 inches (approximately 5 centimeters) but not greater than 2.4 inches (approximately 6 centimeters). Push hard at a rate of 100 to 120 compressions a minute.
If you haven't been trained in CPR, continue chest compressions until there are signs of movement or until emergency medical personnel take over. If you have been trained in CPR, go on to opening the airway and rescue breathing.
Airway: Open the airway

If you're trained in CPR and you've performed 30 chest compressions, open the child's airway using the head-tilt, chin-lift maneuver. Put your palm on the child's forehead and gently tilt the head back. Then with the other hand, gently lift the chin forward to open the airway.
Breathing: Breathe for the child

Use the same compression-breath rate that is used for adults: 30 compressions followed by two breaths. This is one cycle.

With the airway open (using the head-tilt, chin-lift maneuver), pinch the nostrils shut for mouth-to-mouth breathing and cover the child's mouth with yours, making a seal.
Prepare to give two rescue breaths. Give the first rescue breath — lasting one second — and watch to see if the chest rises. If it does rise, give the second breath. If the chest doesn't rise, repeat the head-tilt, chin-lift maneuver and then give the second breath. Be careful not to provide too many breaths or to breathe with too much force.
After the two breaths, immediately begin the next cycle of compressions and breaths. If there are two people performing CPR, conduct 15 compressions followed by two breaths.
As soon as an AED is available, apply it and follow the prompts. Use pediatric pads if available, for children up to age 8. If pediatric pads aren't available, use adult pads. Administer one shock, then resume CPR — starting with chest compressions — for two more minutes before administering a second shock. If you're not trained to use an AED, a 112 or other emergency medical operator may be able to guide you in its use.
Continue until the child moves or help arrives.

To perform CPR on a baby 4 weeks old and older

Most cardiac arrests in babies occur from lack of oxygen, such as from drowning or choking. If you know the baby has an airway obstruction, perform first aid for choking. If you don't know why the baby isn't breathing, perform CPR.

To begin, examine the situation. Stroke the baby and watch for a response, such as movement, but don't shake the baby.

If there's no response, follow the C-A-B procedures below for a baby under age 1 (except newborns, which includes babies up to 4 weeks old) and time the call for help as follows:

If you're the only rescuer and you didn't see the baby collapse, do CPR for two minutes — about five cycles — before calling 911 or your local emergency number and getting the AED. If you did see the baby collapse, call 911 or your local emergency number and get the AED, if one is available, before beginning CPR.
If another person is available, have that person call for help immediately and get the AED while you attend to the baby.
Compressions: Restore blood circulation

Place the baby on his or her back on a firm, flat surface, such as a table. The floor or ground also will do.
Imagine a horizontal line drawn between the baby's ni***es. Place two fingers of one hand just below this line, in the center of the chest.
Gently compress the chest about 1.5 inches (about 4 centimeters).
Count aloud as you pump in a fairly rapid rhythm. You should pump at a rate of 100 to 120 compressions a minute.
Airway: Open the airway

After 30 compressions, gently tip the head back by lifting the chin with one hand and pushing down on the forehead with the other hand.
Breathing: Breathe for the baby

Cover the baby's mouth and nose with your mouth.
Prepare to give two rescue breaths. Use the strength of your cheeks to deliver gentle puffs of air (instead of deep breaths from your lungs) to slowly breathe into the baby's mouth one time, taking one second for the breath. Watch to see if the baby's chest rises. If it does, give a second rescue breath. If the chest does not rise, repeat the head-tilt, chin-lift maneuver and then give the second breath.
If the baby's chest still doesn't rise, continue chest compressions.
Give two breaths after every 30 chest compressions. If two people are conducting CPR, give two breaths after every 15 chest compressions.
Perform CPR for about two minutes before calling for help unless someone else can make the call while you attend to the infant.
Continue CPR until you see signs of life or until medical personnel arrives
