Everyone’s journey is different. Don’t look at someone and make your own assumptions because there are many who are silently going on with life because they can’t express their pain. The ones who need a break from it all, those who are facing trial after trial. Pray for healing.

URINARY TRACT INFECTION ( WHATSAPP ) +256788589298

Causes and Symptoms

Compared with adults or older children, young children are at a greater risk of kidney damage due to UTIs. Infants who are less than a year old are most likely to be affected by UTIs.

During the initial few months of life, the prevalence of UTI is more in boys than in girls. One year after birth, however, the prevalence of UTI is higher in girls than in boys and the risk continues to increase among girls from childhood to adolescence.

In general, UTI may be divided as 1) upper UTI and 2) lower UTI. When the infection is in the kidneys or in the ureters, then it is referred to as an upper UTI. When the infection is diagnosed in the bladder or urethra, then it is referred to as a lower UTI.

UTIs in young children are generally asymptomatic; sometimes, symptoms, such as fever, vomiting, or reduced appetite, may be seen. The infection usually occurs in the bladder. On an average, 3 out of 100 children present with UTI.

In children with bladder infection, urine may appear cloudy and mixed with blood, together with a strong odor. Children may urinate frequently, and during urination, they may feel a burning sensation. They may experience malaise and pain or pressure in the lower back or pelvis. Even after being toilet-trained, children with UTI may experience urinary incontinence.

If a child has symptoms, such as fever, shaking, chills and intense pain in the back or flank, along with vomiting and nausea, then one may suspect pyelonephritis, which is a serious complication of upper UTIs.

In children with normal anatomy and physiology of the urinary system, urine does not flow back to the ureter, whereas in children with vesicoureteral reflux (VUR or reflux) and birth defects that cause reflux, urine flows backward towards the kidneys from the bladder. These children are at a greater risk of developing UTIs.

Scientists found a possible new set of organs hidden deep in the human skull:
- Doctors discovered a set of previously unknown salivary glands in the nasal cavity.
- More research needs to be done before the glands are officially named as new organs.
- The discovery has implications for treating head and neck cancers and chronic ear, nose, and throat problems.

MENSTRUAL CYCLE AND OVULATION .
Most girls don't understand this because of much heavy grammar used to teach it. Every woman has to listen to her body. Start listening to your body for these signs and confirm.
👉MENSTRUAL PERIOD:The time blood flows out of your private area, when you use pad.
👉MENSTRUAL CYCLE: Days it takes to see another blood in the month. If you last saw your period in June 11th and it started again on July 10th 2017, then you have 30days cycle (count from 11 June to 10 July).
NOTE: It is erroneous to believe its 28days cycle, different women have different cycles ranging from 21-35 days.
👉OVULATION PERIOD: This is time to get pregnant without stress. This is 2 weeks after your period or 2 weeks before the next period.
Here's a simple way to calculate your ovulation (unsafe) period.
1. From the first day you see the blood of your period.
2. Pick up a calendar and count 15 days including the first day of the blood stain.
3. Mark the 15th day with a pen.
4. Mark 3 days before the 15th day, and mark 3 days after the 15th day.
6. You will notice you have 7 days marked.
These 7 days are your ovulation/fertile days also known as unsafe period.
That is if you have s*x on any of these days, then you have 98% chances of being pregnant.
7. Do this every month diligently
EVERY OTHER DAY IS YOUR SAFE PERIOD.
For example:
1. If your period is 11th July, 2017,
2. 15 days after the first day of the blood stain will be on 25th of this July too (2weeks after) counting from 11th.
3. 15th day is on the 25th July 2017.
4. 3days before the 15th day is 22, 23, 24.
5. 3days after 25th July 2017 is 26,27,28.
6. 22-28th July (7days) is when you are ovulating. It is your fertile period.
**Don't forget that the 7 days is a reminder that s***m stays in the female body for about 7 days. Any s*xual contact in between ovulation period will form something that has ears, eyes, etc.
ALSO......
If you want a baby girl, have
s*x between 3 days before ovulation (22- 24th) 2017.
For a baby boy on the main ovulation day and 3 days after 25th...........
MAJOR SIGNS THAT YOUR OVULATION HAS BEGAN...
You don't need a doctor, just relax. After 2 weeks you may feel the following:
1. Headache.
2. High body temperature.
3. Dizziness (feeling of tiredness and sleepiness).
4. Breast tenderness/ size increases just like when you are menstruating.
5. Increased s*x drive.
6. Light cramps or pain on one side of the pelvis.
7. Abdominal bloating.
8. Heightened sense of smell, taste or vision (you eat more).
9. Va**na mucus becomes slippery (if you notice, put it in between fingers...it stretches like thick catarrh or snail mucus...colorless like egg white. ..........
N/B: The instance here is for ladies with 30 days cycle. And someone who saw her period in July 2017. If yours is 28, then it's 14 days and not 15 days.

HOW TO SELECT YOUR BABY'S S*X.

S***m cells are either X or Y. The Egg cell is always X. If X-S***m cell meets the egg(X) the baby will be a Girl (XX). If Y-S***m cell meets the egg(X), the baby will be a Boy (XY). The Y-S***m cells move fast but die fast (its lifespan is about 24hrs). X-S***m cells move slowly but survive longer (up to 3-4days).

Therefore, if you have in*******se some days before ovulation, most of the Y-S***m cells would have died leaving mostly X-S***m cells to fertilized the egg

Here's a simple way to calculate your ovulation period.

1. From the first day you see the blood of your period.
2. Pick up a calendar and count 15 days including the first day of the blood stain.
3. Mark the 15th day with a pen.
4. Mark 3 days before the 15th day, and mark 3 days after the 15th day.

For Example
1. If your period is 11th July, ,
2. 15 days after the first day of the blood stain will be on 25th of this July too (2weeks after) counting from 11th.
3. 15th day is on the 25th July
4. 3days before the 15th day is 22, 23, 24.
5. 3days after 25th July is 26,27,28.
6. 22-28th July (7days) is when you are ovulating. It is your fertile period.
**Don't forget that the 4 days is a reminder that s***m stays in the female body for about 4 days. Any s*xual contact in between ovulation period will form something ...
If you want a baby girl, have
s*x between 3 days before ovulation (22- 24th)
Female s***m swim slowly but can stay inside woman body for days without dying off,

For a baby boy on the main ovulation day and 3 days after 25th.(26,27,28)
Male s***m swim very fast but will get weak and die off if no egg found for a while leaving female s***m to finish the job ...........

Va**nal candidiasis

Candidiasis is an infection caused by a yeast (a type of fungus) called Candida. Candida normally lives inside the body (in places such as the mouth, throat, gut, and va**na) and on skin without causing any problems. Sometimes Candida can multiply and cause an infection if the environment inside the va**na changes in a way that encourages its growth. Candidiasis in the va**na is commonly called a “va**nal yeast infection.” Other names for this infection are “va**nal candidiasis,” “vulvova**nal candidiasis,” or “candidal vaginitis.”

Graphic for Va**nal candidiasis of a females body
Symptoms
The symptoms of va**nal candidiasis include:1,2

Va**nal itching or soreness
Pain during s*xual in*******se
Pain or discomfort when urinating
Abnormal va**nal discharge
Although most va**nal candidiasis is mild, some women can develop severe infections involving redness, swelling, and cracks in the wall of the va**na.

Contact your healthcare provider if you have any of these symptoms. These symptoms are similar to those of other types of va**nal infections, which are treated with different types of medicines. A healthcare provider can tell you if you have va**nal candidiasis and how to treat it.

Risk & Prevention
Who gets va**nal candidiasis?
Va**nal candidiasis is common, though more research is needed to understand how many women are affected. Women who are more likely to get va**nal candidiasis include those who:

Are pregnant
Use hormonal contraceptives (for example, birth control pills)
Have diabetes
Have a weakened immune system (for example, due to HIV infection or medicines that weaken the immune system, such as steroids and chemotherapy)
Are taking or have recently taken antibiotics
How can I prevent va**nal candidiasis?
Wearing cotton underwear might help reduce the chances of getting a yeast infection.2 Because taking antibiotics can lead to va**nal candidiasis, take these medicines only when prescribed and exactly as your healthcare provider tells you. Learn more about when antibiotics work and when they should be avoided.

Sources
Scientists estimate that about 20% of women normally have Candida in the va**na without having any symptoms.2 Sometimes, Candida can multiply and cause an infection if the environment inside the va**na changes in a way that encourages its growth. This can happen because of hormones, medicines, or changes in the immune system.

Diagnosis & Testing
Healthcare providers usually diagnose va**nal candidiasis by taking a small sample of va**nal discharge to be examined under a microscope in the medical office or sent to a laboratory for a fungal culture. However, a positive fungal culture does not always mean that Candida is causing symptoms because some women can have Candida in the va**na without having any symptoms.

Treatment
Va**nal candidiasis is usually treated with antifungal medicine.3 For most infections, the treatment is an antifungal medicine applied inside the va**na or a single dose of fluconazole taken by mouth. Other treatments may be needed for infections that are more severe, that don’t get better, or that keep coming back after getting better. These treatments include more doses of fluconazole taken by mouth or other medicines applied inside the va**na, such as boric acid, nystatin, or flucytosine.

A meniscus tear:

is a common knee injury.The menisci keep your knee steady by balancing your weight across the knee. A torn meniscus can prevent your knee from working right.

Causes:
A meniscus tear is usually caused by twisting or turning quickly, often with the foot planted while the knee is bent.
Meniscus tears can occur when you lift something heavy or play sports. As you get older, your meniscus gets worn. This can make it tear more easily.

Symptoms:
There are three types of meniscus tears. Each has its own set of symptoms
-Minor tear: slight pain and swelling
-Moderate tear: cause pain at the side or center of your knee, Knee Stiffness, walking is usually possible
-Severe tears: pieces of the torn meniscus can move into the joint space. This can make your knee catch, pop, or lock. You may not be able to straighten it. Your knee may feel "wobbly" or give way without warning.

Diagnosed:
Your doctor will ask about past injuries and what you were doing when your knee started to hurt. A physical exam will help your doctor find out if a torn meniscus is the cause of your pain. Your doctor will look at both knees and check for tenderness, range of motion, and how stable your knee is. X-rays are also usually done.
You may need to meet with an orthopedic surgeon for more testing. These tests may include an MRI, which can give a clear picture of where a tear is and how serious it is.

Treatment:
How your doctor treats your meniscus tear depends on several things, such as the type of tear, where it is, and how serious it is. Your age and how active you are may also affect your treatment choices.

Treatment may include:
-Rest, ice, wrapping the knee with an elastic bandage, and propping up the leg on pillows.
-Physical therapy.
-Surgery to repair the meniscus.
-Surgery to remove part of the meniscus
