Arthritis is an inflammation of the joints. A joint is an area of the body where two different bones meet. A joint functions to move the body parts connected by its bones It can affect one joint or multiple joints. There are many types of arthritis, with different causes and treatment methods. Two of the most common types are osteoarthritis (OA) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Other common rheumatic conditions related to arthritis as gout and others
The symptoms of arthritis usually develop over time, but they may also appear suddenly. Arthritis is most commonly seen in adults over the age of 65, but it can also develop in children, teens, and younger adults. Arthritis is more common in women than men and in people who are overweight.
Some forms of arthritis, such as rheumatoid arthritis and SLE, it can affect multiple organs and cause widespread symptoms.

here are many other common and uncommon types of arthritis,few are given below

Osteoarthritis.
• Rheumatoid arthritis.
• Lupus erythematosus.
• Infectious and reactive arthritis.
• Psoriatic arthritis.
• Spondyloarthropathies.
• Juvenile arthritis.
• Gout.

Common Symptoms Of Arthritis
1-joint pain
2-stiffness
3-swelling
4-joint warmth,
5-limping,
6-locking of the joint,
7-loss of range of motion of the joint,
8-stiffness,
9-weakness

Motion can also decrease with time, and you may experience of the redness over skin around the joint. These symptoms are worse in the morning Symptoms may come and go. They can be mild, moderate or severe. They may stay about the same for years but can progress or get worse over time. Severe arthritis can result in chronic pain, inability to do daily activities and make it difficult to walk or climb stairs.
Arthritis can affect permanent joint changes. These changes may be visible, such as knobby finger joints, but often the damage can only be seen on X-ray. Some types of arthritis also affect the heart, eyes, lungs, kidneys and skin as well as the joints.
In the case of RA, you may feel weakness or experience a lack of appetite due to the inflammation the immune system’s activity causes. You may also become anemic or have a slight fever. Severe RA can cause joint deformity if left untreated.
Risk factors
• Family history. Some types of arthritis run in families, so you may be more likely to develop arthritis if your parents or siblings have the disorder. Your genes can make you more susceptible to environmental factors that may trigger arthritis.
• Age. The risk of many types of arthritis increases with age.
• Your s*x. Women are more likely than men to develop rheumatoid arthritis, while most of the people who have gout, another type of arthritis, are men.
• Previous joint injury. People who have injured a joint, perhaps while playing a sport, are more likely to eventually develop arthritis in that joint.
• Obesity. Carrying excess pounds puts stress on joints, particularly your knees, hips and spine. People with obesity have a higher risk of developing arthritis.
Diagnosing may be difficult. There are more than 100 different types of arthritis. Many symptoms are similar among the different conditions affecting the joints. To make an accurate diagnosis, a healthcare provider may need to:
• Proper assessment of your medical history and current symptoms.
• Proper examination
• Order laboratory tests, X-rays, and other imaging tests (such as an ultrasound or MRI).
• Perform an arthrocentesis (the procedure of removing fluid from a joint).
In addition to a complete medical history and physical examination, the following are common laboratory tests:
• Antinuclear antibody. This test tells about blood levels of different types of antibodies, which may be present in persons with some types of arthritis.
• Arthrocentesis (also called joint aspiration). This is an exam of joint fluid. A thin needle is inserted into the joint. Synovial fluid is removed with a syringe and examined for cell counts, crystal a**lysis, culture, and other tests.
• Complement tests. This test tells the level of complement( a group of proteins) in the blood. It helps to diagnose and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and rheumatoid arthritis.
• Complete blood count(CBC).-it shows the number of white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets present in a sample of blood. A low white blood count (leukopenia), low red blood count (anemia), or low platelet count (thrombocytopenia) are associated with some forms of arthritis or the medications to treat them.
• Creatinine. A blood test to find out kidney disease.
• C-reactive protein. This is a protein that is elevated when there is inflammation in the body as in some types of arthritis.
• Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (also called ESR or sed rate). This measures how quickly red blood cells fall to the bottom of a test tube. It is also elevated when there is inflammation in the body.
• Hematocrit (PCV, packed cell volume). Measures the number of red blood cells present in a sample of blood. Low levels of red blood cells (anemia) are common in people with some types of arthritis.
• Rheumatoid factor. Checks for an antibody that is present in most people with rheumatoid arthritis.
• Urinalysis. Laboratory examination of urine to check for kidney disease that may be associated with several types of arthritis.
• Uric acid. It is rised in gout.
Imaging techniques
Imaging techniques may give right picture of your joint. Imaging techniques may include the following:
• X-ray. X-rays show joint changes and bone damage
• Ultrasound. Ultrasound uses sound waves to see the quality of synovial tissue, tendons, ligaments, and bones.
• Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). MRI images are more detailed than X-rays. It tell about damage to joints, including muscles, ligaments, and cartilage.
• Arthroscopy This procedure uses a thin tube containing a light and camera to look inside the joint. The arthroscope is inserted into the joint through a small incision. Images of the inside of the joint are projected onto a screen. It is used to evaluate any degenerative and/or arthritic changes in the joint; to detect bone diseases and tumors; to determine the cause of bone pain and inflammation
Arthritis Prevention
Although it may not be possible to prevent arthritis, there are steps to take to reduce your risk of developing the disease and to slow or prevent permanent joint damage These include:
• Maintaining a healthy weight. Excess weight puts strain on your joints.
• Exercise Keeping your muscles strong can help protect and support your joints.
•
• Using joint-protecting devices and techniques at work. Proper lifting and posture can help protect your muscles and joints.
• Eating a healthy diet. A well balanced, nutritious diet can help strengthen your bones and muscles.

Some antioxidants, found in fruits and veggies like apples, onions, shallots, and strawberries, may also help reduce joint inflammation and pain.
3. Add Omega-3 Fatty Acids
Omega-3s may help relieve joint pain and decrease morning stiffness. They work by reducing inflammation in your body.

4. Use Olive Oil in Place of Other Fats
It helps to prevent inflammation
About 3 1/2 tablespoons of olive oil offers the same relief as 200 milligrams of ibuprofen. But that much oil also gives you about 400 calories.
To add olive oil to your diet without extra calories, use it in place of other fats, such as butter.
5. Get Enough Vitamin C
A key element for joint health, vitamin C helps build collagen and connective tissue. A lot of tasty foods can give you this nutrient. Try citrus fruits, red peppers, strawberries, broccoli, cabbage, and kale. Aim for the recommended amount of 75 milligrams a day for women or 90 milligrams a day for men.

• 2-Red meat such as beef, lamb, pork — anything from an animal with four legs — also will increase inflammation. Health

3-Inadequate vitamin D and calcium levels also play a role in joint pain
4- Alcohol and to***co

Hemorrhoids And Homeopathy

Hemorrhoids are swellings that develop inside and around the back passage (a**l ca**l). Hemorrhoids also called piles, are swollen veins in your a**s and lower re**um. Hemorrhoids can develop inside the re**um (internal hemorrhoids) or under the skin around the a**s (external hemorrhoids).
Nearly three out of four adults will have hemorrhoids from time to time. Hemorrhoids have a number of causes, but often the cause is unknown.
Fortunately, effective options are available to treat hemorrhoids. Many people get relief with home treatments and lifestyle changes.

About piles
Anyone can get piles, but they are more common as you get older. They are also more common if you often get constipated, or find you are spending long periods of time in the toilet, straining to open your bowels.
It’s difficult to know exactly how many people get piles as many people don’t go and see their doctor about them.
Piles are also common during and after pregnancy. They may develop due to changes in your hormones and the higher pressure in your tummy (abdomen) when you’re pregnant. They usually get better once your baby is born.

Grades of piles

First degree- Hemorrhoidal venous plexus that do swell up and bleed while straining at stool.
Second degree - Hemorrhoidal venous plexus that prolapse with straining, but reduce spontaneously
Third degree - hemorrhoids that remain outside of the a**l ca**l unless manually replaced.
Fourth degree- hemorrhoids that cannot be reduced

What causes hemorrhoids?

The cause of piles is based on one factor i.e. increased intra abdominal pressure. The effect of increased intra abdominal pressure do increases the pressure effect in the a**l vein situated at the re**um and a**l region. Thus the abdominal pressure increases in the following conditions
1.Constipation – if there is constipation you will put more strain while passing stool and that will indirectly increase the intra abdominal pressure and affect upon the re**al venous pressure
2. Hard stool- if you have hard stool due to lack of taking fibers rich diet then it will make you to give more strain during stool and cause piles
3. Chronic- hyperacidity and flatulency condition also increases the intra abdominal pressure and causes piles
4. Prolonged -sitting for hours together – if you are in a job where you have to sit for hours together like those who working in IT sector or corporate sector also contribute the chance of increasing intra abdominal pressure due to pressure build up by sitting long time in a seat. So ultimately develop piles.
5. Lacks of physical activities – Lack of physical activities affect the smooth rhythmical peristaltic bowel movement thus contribute a factor for developing constipation and piles.
6. Obesity – the gaining weight or obesity also plays a role for developing piles by increasing pressure in a**l venous areas.
7. Pregnancy- the pregnancy also contributes a factor of increasing intra abdominal pressure and developing piles.
8. Chronic diarrhea also have the chance of developing piles
Symptoms.
An individual with piles may experience the following symptoms:
A hard, possibly painful lump may be felt around the a**s. It may contain coagulated blood. Piles that contain blood are called thrombosed external hemorrhoids.
After passing a stool, a person with piles may experience the feeling that the bowels are still full.
Bright red blood is visible after a bowel movement.
The area around the a**s is itchy, red, and sore.
Pain occurs during the passing of a stool.
Piles can escalate into a more severe condition. This can include:
excessive a**l bleeding, also possibly leading to anemia
infection
f***l incontinence, or an inability to control bowel movements
a**l fistula, in which a new channel is created between the surface of the skin near the a**s and the inside of the a**s
a strangulated hemorrhoid, in which the blood supply to the hemorrhoid is cut off, causing complications including infection or a blood clot
Diagnosis
A doctor can usually diagnose piles after carrying out a physical examination. They will examine the a**s of the person with suspected piles.
The doctor may ask the following questions:
• Do any close relatives have piles?
• Has there been any blood or mucus in the stools?
• Has there been any recent weight loss?
• Have bowel movements changed recently?
• What color are the stools?
For internal piles, the doctor may perform a digital re**al examination (DRE) or use a proctoscope. A proctoscope is a hollow tube fitted with a light. It allows the doctor to see the a**l ca**l up close. They can take a small tissue sample from inside the re**um. This can then be sent to the lab for a**lysis.
The physician may recommend a colonoscopy if the person with piles presents signs and symptoms that suggest another digestive system diseases, or they are demonstrating any risk factors for colore**al cancer.
Treatments
Due to change in our life style, bad eating habits in our routine life, so many diseases appear. There is no punctuality in our eating time, sleeping time, working time. Along with it lack of physical exercise, mental stress add the fuels to emerge out various health problems like Indigestion, Gastric problem, Acidity, Constipation including piles.
