I had this patient, she has being married for over 7 years with no child. She came to me for ultrasound scan test, after the tests, I noticed that the endometrial cavity was thin and fibrosed with evidence of adhesion. I asked her if she had had a miscarriage, she told me that she had never being pregnant since she got married. I now asked her if she had ever being pregnant before she got married, and what happened to her.
That was when she opened up and told me the whole story.
She was a virgin and had this boyfriend, after much pressure from the young man for some closer intimate moments with her, she finally gave in to keep the relationship. They had sex only once, but unfortunately for her she became pregnant.
In an effort to hide it from their parents , since they were not ready to get married yet and were very young, they both agreed to have an abortion.
They went to a clinic [qualified or not we cannot tell], and had the abortion, after that all was well. She separated from the young man , and had never had sex with any other man until she got married.
Now for seven years she could not get pregnant, she thought she was cursed. She had done many tests and all results were normal but no improvement in her situation. Until she came to me and I made my findings.

In this article , I want to assure you that I am not here to talk about pro abortion nor con abortion issues. I am not here to condemn anyone, nor discuss moral issues of abortion. That is not my place. I am only interested in discussing about infertility, the causes, diagnostic tests, treatments especially a simple assisted reproductive technique called Intrauterine Insemination [IUI].

INFERTILITY

Infertility is the inability to conceive after one year of regular, unprotected sexual activity or the inability to carry a pregnancy to term. Infertility primarily refers to the biological inability of a person to contribute to conception. Infertility may also refer to the state of a woman who is unable to carry a pregnancy to full term. There are many biological causes of infertility, some which may be bypassed with medical intervention.
Women who are fertile experience a natural period of fertility before and during ovulation, and they are naturally infertile during the rest of the menstrual cycle. Fertility awareness methods are used to discern when these changes occur by tracking changes in cervical mucus or basal body temperature. If a woman keeps having miscarriages, it is also called infertility. Lots of couples have infertility problems. About a third of the time, infertility can be traced to the woman. In another third of cases, it is because of the man. The rest of the time, it is because of both partners or no cause is found. Women who can get pregnant but are unable to stay pregnant may also be infertile.

Pregnancy is the result of a process that has many steps. To get pregnant:

A woman’s body must release an egg from one of her ovaries (ovulation).
The egg must go through a fallopian tube toward the uterus (womb).
A man's sperm must join with (fertilize) the egg along the way.
The fertilized egg must attach to the inside of the uterus (implantation).
Infertility can happen if there are problems with any of these steps.

There are strict definitions of infertility used by many doctors. However, there are also similar terms, e.g. subfertility for a more benign condition and fecundity for the natural improbability to conceive. Infertility in a couple can be due to either the woman or the man, not necessarily both.


Infertlity
A couple is considered to be infertile if:
the couple has not conceived after 12 months of contraceptive-free intercourse if the female is under the age of 34
the couple has not conceived after 6 months of contraceptive-free intercourse if the female is over the age of 35 (declining egg quality of females over the age of 35 account for the age-based discrepancy as when to seek medical intervention)
the female is incapable of carrying a pregnancy to term.

Subfertility
A couple that has tried unsuccessfully to have a child for a year or more is said to be subfertile meaning less fertile than a typical couple. The couple's fecundability rate is approximately 3-5%. Many of its causes are the same as those of infertility. Such causes could be endometriosis, or polycystic ovarian syndrome.

Primary vs. secondary infertility
Couples with primary infertility have never been able to conceive, while, on the other hand, secondary infertility is difficulty conceiving after already having conceived (and either carried the pregnancy to term, or had a miscarriage). Technically, secondary infertility is not present if there has been a change of partners.

CAUSES

What causes infertility?Infertility may be due to problems in the female, the male or a combination of both. In some cases, the cause is not known.Some common female factors that may cause or contribute to infertility include:

•
Damage to the fallopian tubes following infection or surgery;
•
Uterine fibroids;
•
High levels of the hormone prolactin;
•
Ovulation problems;
•
Endometriosis;
•
Pelvic inflammatory disease;
•
Galactorhoea (milk leaking from the breasts).
•
Amennorhoea (absence of periods).
•
Hostile cervical mucus.

HOW YOU CAN TELL IF YOU HAVE BREAST CANCER, AND PREVENT IT FROM KILLING YOU

MY BREASTS AND MY KILLERS ------[BREAST CANCER]


She was such a young and pretty lady of 24years of age.
I tell you the truth she was really well endowed especially at the chest level.
She walked up to me at the clinic and requested to consult with me.I took her into my office and tried to find out what was wrong with her.She told me that her breasts were the problem. I was astonished. ‘’What do you mean?’’. She informed me that some few years back she noticed a lump or hardness in one of her breast, but was too shy to tell anyone, not even her parents, but instead of the hardness going soft, it increased in size and number, affecting the second breast, then became really painful.
Because she was still embarrassed to show them to anyone, she kept quiet hoping the problem will go away as they came. The embarrassment was so much that she could not keep a boyfriend.
The situation got worse, until recently when she started noticing brownish bloody discharge from her nipples that she really got scared. ‘’Lucky me’’, she decided to talk to me.I did an ultrasound of her breasts and found so many masses in them, which were latter comfirmed to be cancerous.
An xray of her chest was done , we found out that the cancer has eaten into her lungs and her backbones.It was a sorry state, it was too late. This young pretty lady have just a short time to live, because the cancer have spread extensively.
After some months she died. What a tragic end?
This is the situation with many young girls to mature ladies in Nigeria, we have a social stigma problem that make it difficult for us to complain early and save lives. If that young lady had complained many years ago when she noticed the first lump, she would have lived. In this article I am going to really write long , because this is a very serious issue, it is killing our sisters, wives, mothers and grandmothers. I am very concerned because that young lady is not the only one I knew that died of breast cancer. I want this to stop, so I must sound a serious warning to you ladies that read this blog
‘’BREAST CANCER KILLS. TAKE YOUR BREAST SERIOUS’’
In this article we are going to look at the causes, symptoms, screening tests, diagnosis, treatments and your own participation.

DEFINITION

Breast cancer is a cancer that starts in the breast, usually in the inner lining of the milk ducts or lobules.Breast cancer is the most common causes of cancer in women and the second most common cause of cancer death of women in Nigeria. Breast cancer can affect ladies of all ages that have developed breasts.I know that when we talk of breast , it is as if only women are affected. The truth is that men do also have breast cancer.However breast cancer is about 100 times more frequent among women as among men.


SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS

The first symptom or subjective sign of breast cancer is typically a lump that feels different from the surrounding breast tissues. More than 80% of breast cancer cases are discovered when the woman feels a lump.The first medical sign or objective indication of breast cancer as detected by a physician is discovered by mammography [xray] and sonomammography [ultrasound of the breasts].Lumps found in lymph nodes located in the armpits can also indicate breast cancer. Indications of breast cancer other than a lump may include changes in breast size and shape, skin dimpling, nipple inversion, or spontaneous single-nipple discharge. Pain is an unreliable tool in determining the presence or absence of breast cancer , but may be indicative of other breast health symptoms


SYMPTOMS

[1] Lumps in breasts
[2] Increase in breast size
[3] Change in breast shape
[4] Skin dimpling of the breast
[5] Nipple inversion
[6] Spontaneous single-nipple discharge
[7] Pain
[8] Skin inflammation which includes pain, swelling, warmth, redness as well as an orange-peel texture of the skin.
[9] Tingling, itching, increased sensitivity and burning Most symptoms of breast disorder do not turn out to represent underlying breast cancer. Benign breast diseases such as mastitis and fibroadenoma of the breast are more common causes of breast disorders.

CAUSES

No one knows the exact causes of breast cancer. Doctors often cannot explain why one woman develops breast cancer and another does not. They do know that bumping, bruising, or touching the breast does not cause cancer. And breast cancer is not contagious. You cannot "catch" it from another person.Research has shown that women with certain risk factors are more likely than others to develop breast cancer. A risk factor is something that may increase the chance of developing a disease.Studies have found the following risk factors for breast cancer:

Age: The chance of getting breast cancer goes up as a woman gets older. Most cases of breast cancer occur in women over 60. This disease is not common before menopause.
Personal history of breast cancer: A woman who had breast cancer in one breast has an increased risk of getting cancer in her other breast.

Family history: A woman's risk of breast cancer is higher if her mother, sister, or daughter had breast cancer. The risk is higher if her family member got breast cancer before age 40. Having other relatives with breast cancer (in either her mother's or father's family) may also increase a woman's risk.

Certain breast changes: Some women have cells in the breast that look abnormal under a microscope. Having certain types of abnormal cells (atypical hyperplasia and lobular carcinoma in situ [LCIS]) increases the risk of breast cancer.

Gene changes: Changes in certain genes increase the risk of breast cancer. These genes include BRCA1, BRCA2, and others. Tests can sometimes show the presence of specific gene changes in families with many women who have had breast cancer. Health care providers may suggest ways to try to reduce the risk of breast cancer, or to improve the detection of this disease in women who have these changes in their genes.

Reproductive and menstrual history:
The older a woman is when she has her first child, the greater her chance of breast cancer.
Women who had their first menstrual period before age 12 are at an increased risk of breast cancer.
Women who went through menopause after age 55 are at an increased risk of breast cancer.
Women who never had children are at an increased risk of breast cancer.
Women who take menopausal hormone therapy with estrogen plus progestin after menopause also appear to have an increased risk of breast cancer.
Large, well-designed studies have shown no link between abortion or miscarriage and breast cancer.

Race: Breast cancer is diagnosed more often in white women than Latina, Asian, or African American women.

Radiation therapy to the chest: Women who had radiation therapy to the chest (including breasts) before age 30 are at an increased risk of breast cancer. This includes women treated with radiation for Hodgkin's lymphoma. Studies show that the younger a woman was when she received radiation treatment, the higher her risk of breast cancer later in life.

Breast density: Breast tissue may be dense or fatty. Older women whose mammograms (breast x-rays) show more dense tissue are at increased risk of breast cancer.
Taking DES (diethylstilbestrol): DES was given to some pregnant women in the United States between about 1940 and 1971. (It is no longer given to pregnant women.) Women who took DES during pregnancy may have a slightly increased risk of breast cancer. The possible effects on their daughters are under study.

Being overweight or obese after menopause: The chance of getting breast cancer after menopause is higher in women who are overweight or obese.
Lack of physical activity: Women who are physically inactive throughout life may have an increased risk of breast cancer. Being active may help reduce risk by preventing weight gain and obesity .

Drinking alcohol: Studies suggest that the more alcohol a woman drinks, the greater her risk of breast cancer.Other possible risk factors are under study.

15 CAUSES OF MENSTRUATION PAINS, AND HOW TO STOP IT FROM DESTROYING YOUR LIFE

MENSTRUATION PAINS THAT CAN KILL?
[ACUTE AND CHRONIC PELVIC PAINS]

I came to the office one morning to meet our female receptionist weeping on her desk with her hand guarding her pelvic region, before I could ask her any question, she had shouted out loud in pains and ran towards the toilet, she didn’t make it to the toilet before she threw up, then started crying and continue guarding her lower abdomen.
As a medical personnel, many things ran through my mind, like ruptured appendicitis or ectopic pregnancy, then I myself almost panicked when those life threatening thoughts crossed my mind, because that is serious thoughts, I persuaded her to take some pain killers and quickly go to a physician, she went , and after some days was relieved, but the next month the same thing happened and so on.

In this article we are not going to look at menstruation pains alone, but all forms of acute and chronic pelvic pains, the types, causes, diagnostic tests and treatment options.

Many women have pain in their pelvic region at some point in their lives. Finding the cause of pelvic pain can be a long process, often there is more than one reason for the pain and its exact source can be hard to detect.
Pelvic pain is a common symptom in women of all ages, in some cases no specific cause canbe found, but being reassured that there is no serious underlying problem can be helpful.
Pelvic pain can be described as acute or chronic .
Acute pain relates to pain that is of recent onset and maybe severe . In young women there are many possible causes for this.
Long standing or chronic pelvic pain may have different causative factors to acute pain, although there may be some degree of overlap.

TYPES OF PELVIC PAIN
Pelvic pain can vary in how it is felt, and when it occurs. It can come and go for brief times or it can be constant. Sometimes pelvic pain can reoccur on a regular cycle or schedule, it also may occur only at certain times, before or after eating, while you urinate, during sex or during menstrual period.
Some women feel pain almost everyday. This may mean that a problem has gotten worse. Overtime it may become more deficult to cope with the pain. When this occurs, a woman may feel pain, at some times more than others, even though the problem has not gotten worse.
Pelvic pain can disrupt a woman’s work, movements, sexual relations, sleeps, or family duties. Not knowing what the cause of the pain can make it even more stressful when pain has been present for a long time, it can affect a woman’s mental and physical health.
Pelvic pain that lasts for more than 6 months and does not improve with treatment is called chronic pelvic pain.
The type and nature of pelvic pain, whether it comes and goes or is constant, is sharp or dull, is in one place or a broad area, this will help your physician detect the cause of the problem

TYPES OF PAIN AND POSSIBLE CAUSE
[a] Localised Pain --- Maybe due to an inflammation.
[b] Colicky Pain --- May be caused by spasm in a soft organ, such as the intestine, ureter or appendix.
[c] Sudden Onset Of Pain --- May be caused by a temporary deficiency of blood supply due to an obstruction in the circulation of blood.
[d] Slowly Developing Pain --- May be due to inflammation of the appendix or an intestinal obstruction.
[e] Pain Involving The Entire Abdomen --- May suggest an accumulation of blood , pus, or intestinal contents.
[f] Pain Aggravated By Movement Or During Examination --- May be as a result of irritation in the lining of the abdominal cavity.



CAUSES OF PAIN
[1] Adhesions [Scar tissues] from previous healing after pelvic infections or pelvic surgeries, eg Ceasarian sections, appendicitis, etc
[2] Pelvic Inflammatory Disease [PID]
[3] Ovarian cysts [Twisted or Ruptured]
[4] Ectopic Pregnancy
[5] Urinary Tract Infection
[6] Appendicitis
[7] Dysmenorrhoea --- is a medical condition characterized by severe uterine pain during menstruation.

13 CAUSES OF HEAVY MENSTRUATION AND HOW YOU CAN STOP IT FROM KILLING YOU

THAT HEAVY MENSTRUATION CAN KILL ANY WOMAN ‘’MENORRHAGIA’’



In 1994 there is a woman I knew , she is a mother of 2 children, she has being having the problem of heavy menstrual periods for years, like many other women in Nigeria.
This particular month, the menstrual period came and refuse to stop, she bled heavily for days and fainted [she almost died, many other women have died from excessive bleeding], her husband and neighbours had to quickly rush her to the nearest hospital, the doctor did all he could to stop the bleeding and revive the woman, all failed , the last resort was to remove the entire womb [hysterectomy] so as to save the woman’s life.
The entire womb was removed and the woman survived till this day, but she could no more have any other child.

In this article we are going to talk about menorrhagia, what causes it, the diagnosis/tests to check out for it, and treatments.

===> ==> CLICK THIS LINK TO GET FREE ACCESS TO DOWNLOAD THE SECRET FERTILITY SYSTEM


DEFINITION/COMPLICATIONS

Menorrhagia is an abnormal heavy and prolonged menstrual period at regular intervals.
Only females are affected by menorrhagia
At some time in your reproductive life, you have probably experienced heavy bleeding during your menstrual period [some times with blood clots]. If you are like some women, every period you have causes enough blood loss and cramping that you can not maintain your usual daily activities.
The medical term for periods like these---heavy excessive or prolonged is MENORRHAGIA.
Aside from the social distress of dealing with a prolonged and heavy period, overtime the blood loss may prove to be greater than the body iron reserves or the rate of blood replenishment, leading to ANEMIA.
Symptoms attributable to anemia may include shortness of breath, tiredness, weakness, tingling and numbness in fingers and toes, headaches, depression, becoming cold more easily and poor concentration.


CAUSES

There are several possible cause of menorrhagia , including the following
[1] Hormonal imbalance [particularly estrogen and progesterone], especially seen in adolescents [young girls] who are experiencing their menstrual period for the first time and in womaen approaching menopause.
[2] Pelvic inflammatory disease [PID]
[3] Uterine fibroids
[4] Abnormal pregnancy [like miscarriage and ectopic pregnancy]
[5] Infection, tumours, or polyps in te uterine cavity.
[6] Certain birth control devices [like intrauterine devices or IUCDs]
[7] Bleeding or platelet disorders
[8] High levels of prostaglandins [chemical substances wich help to control muscle contractions of the uterus]
[9] High levels of endothelins [chemical substances which help the blood vessels in the body dilate]
[10] Liver, kidney, thyroid disease or diabetic
[11] Polycystic ovarian syndrome
[12] Fat/obesity
[13] Cancer of the womb, ovaries or cervix
[14] Inherited bleeding disorder

SYMPTOMS

[1] Menstrual flow that soaks through one or more sanitary pads or tampons every hour for several consecutive hours.
[2] The need to use double sanitary protection to control your menstrual flow
[3] The need to change sanitary protection during the night
[4] Menstrual flow that includes large blood clots

HOW TO STOP FIBROIDS FROM DESTROYING YOU, EVEN AT YOUR MATURE AGE

THE SCOURGE OF FIBROIDS


Hi all,
This is Victor, I am a Consultant Clinical Specialist Sonographer, with over 15 years post qualification experiences, I have worked as a sonographer in Nigeria for over 14 years, I lived and worked in The Republic of Ireland [Europe] as a Specialist Sonographer
I have decided to start writing into my blogs to communicate with my entire community.

UTERINE FIBROIDS


Fibroids are common, benign growths of womb (uterine) muscle. They are present in around 1/4-5 of white women and 1/2 black women. They are most common toward the end of the reproductive years. They exist sometimes singly, but most often are multiple and range in size from microscopic to filling the whole of the lower abdomen! They are more common in obese women and those who have no children, there probably is some genetic determinant and they are less common in smokers.

Most fibroids do not cause symptoms, but overall symptomatic fibroids account for about one third of all hysterectomy operations.

 
Fibroids are named according to where they are found in your womb.


Intramural fibroids grow within the muscular wall of the womb.

Subserous fibroids grow from the outside wall of the womb into the pelvic cavity. They can become very large.

Submucous fibroids grow from the inner wall of the womb into the space inside the womb.

Pedunculated fibroids grow from the outside of your womb. These fibroids are almost free of the wall of your womb and are only attached by a narrow stalk.

Fibroids range from the size of a pinhead to up to 20cm across.

Fibroid growth is very slow and can be stimulated by hormones, especially oestrogen. A hormone is a chemical found naturally in your body. Fibroids tend to become smaller and reduce in number when oestrogen levels fall, such as after the menopause.

===> ==> CLICK THIS LINK TO GET FREE ACCESS TO DOWNLOAD THE SECRET FERTILITY SYSTEM


CAUSES


The reason why women get fibroids isn't known. Although oestrogen seems to make the fibroids grow, it's not thought to be responsible for their initial development.

You are more likely to get fibroids if you:

[1]are in your 30s or 40s
[2]are overweight
[3]are African-Caribbean - African-Caribbean women are three times more likely than white women to get fibroids
[4]have no children or had your last child at a young age
[5]have a family history of fibroids


SYMPTOMS

Symptoms relate to the location of the fibroids and its size. Important symptoms include abnormal gynaecologic haemorrhage[bleeding], heavy or/and painful periods, abdominal discomfort or bloating, back ache, urinary frequency or retention, and in some cases infertility. There may also be pain during intercourse depending on the location of the fibroids.
During pregnancy they maybe the cause of miscarriage, bleeding, premature labour, or interference with the position of the fetus.
Fibroids don't usually cause symptoms. However, you may get one or more of the symptoms listed below, often depending on where the fibroid is within your womb.


Heavy periods, sometimes leading to anaemia, can occur in up to a third of all women with fibroids.

Large fibroids can lead you to feeling some pain in your tummy (abdomen).

If the fibroid(s) is pressing on your bladder, you may need to pass urine more often than normal.

If the fibroid(s) is pressing on your rectum, it can cause constipation.

You can get severe pain if a fibroid growing on a stalk twists or if a fibroid outgrows its blood supply causing it to break down, but this is rare.

DIAGNOSIS

Fibroids are often diagnosed and discovered on pelvic examination, where the uterus feels larger than expected with hard round lumps felt arising from the surface. Ultrasound scan can tell where the fibroids are located and give an idea of their size. Sometimes they are detected on laparoscopy (looking into the abdomen with a small telescope) or hysteroscopy (looking into the uterus with a fine telescope). Hysteroscopy is particularly useful for seeing the submucous fibroids and assessing how much of the uterine cavity is involved.

COMPLICATIONS


FIBROIDS AND PREGNANCY

Most women with fibroids have a normal pregnancy and delivery. In around two-thirds of women, the fibroids stay at a constant size or shrink.

Submucosal fibroids can affect the shape and internal environment of the womb, which can make it more difficult to become pregnant.

Problems such as miscarriage, premature labour and bleeding can happen, but they are rare.

If you are pregnant and have fibroids, you should consider seeking specialist pregnancy care from an obstetrician (a doctor specialising in pregnancy and childbirth).
FIBROIDS AND CANCER

Fibroids very rarely become cancerous.


TREATMENT


If you don't have any symptoms, or if they are only mild, you don't need treatment.

If you are getting symptoms, there is a range of treatments available. Your doctor will explain which is most suitable for you.

[1] Medicines

There is no medicine that cures fibroids. However, hormone-based treatments can help relieve the symptoms.

Treatment with gonadotrophin releasing hormone analogues (GnRH analogues) can lower your oestrogen level. This usually shrinks the fibroids. GnRH analogues such as goserelin (eg Zoladex) or leuprolin acetate (eg Prostap SR) are often prescribed for three to four months before surgery (see Surgery) to make it easier to remove fibroids.

GnRH analogues can cause side-effects such as hot flushes and, long-term, osteoporosis (thinning of the bones). Therefore, you can only take GnRH analogues for a maximum of six months. Taking progestogen hormone replacement therapy or tibolone (Livial) at the same time reduces the chances that you will get side-effects.

[2]Non-surgical treatments

[a]Uterine artery embolisation (UAE)

This treatment blocks the blood supply to a fibroid, causing it to shrink. It's performed under a local anaesthetic, meaning that the feeling in the area will be completely blocked but you will stay awake during the operation.

UAE gives relief from symptoms such as bleeding and pain for at least two-thirds of women treated. Side-effects and complications with UAE are lower than with open surgery.

The National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) states that UAE is a relatively new treatment with uncertain long-term results. If you are considering UAE, please talk to your gynaecologist (a doctor specialising in identifying and treating conditions of the female organs).

[b] Endometrial ablation
An endometrial ablation is a procedure to remove the lining of your womb or an individual fibroid using laser energy or ultrasound. You can still get pregnant after an endometrial ablation.

[c] Magnetic Resonance Guided Focused Ultrasound [HIFU]

Surgery

There are a number of surgical options including those outlined below.

A myomectomy is an operation to remove fibroids leaving the womb in place. It may be done through cuts in the tummy or through your vagina using keyhole surgery. A myomectomy is usually only offered to women who prefer the option to become pregnant in the future.

A hysterectomy is a major operation to remove the entire womb, usually via a "bikini-line" cut in the tummy or, if the fibroids are not too large, via the vagina. It's not possible to get pregnant after a hysterectomy.

Sometimes it's possible for these operations to be performed by keyhole surgery.
