Breast cancer is the second most type of cancers affecting women.It's preventable and can be fully treated with early detection.

As we are in the month of breast cancer awareness,I feel good to share abit on breast Cancer.

Its occurrence is attributed by several factors such as genetic/family history, smoking,alcohol, overweight, hormonal imbalance,poor diet and lack of physical exercises.

PREVENTION
Mostly is prevented by controlling the risk factors .
-Limiting or stopping alcohol intake
-Avoid smoking
-Control your weight into a healthy BMI
-Physical exercises
-Healthy diet
-Avoid intake of unprescribed hormonal products
-For those with a family history of breast cancer ensure you do regular breast exam.This is to enable early detection and full treatment

SCREENING 🎗️

There are several screening methods starting from self breast exam, clinical breast exam to imaging such as mammography etc .

SELF BREAST EXAM 💝🎗️
This involves regular examination of the breasts by yourself . It's advisable to do it immediately after the end of every me**es or monthly for all women either in menopause or reproductive cycle.

WHAT TO CHECK:
-Breast sizes and shape.They should be similar unless on adolescent development stage.

❣️YOU CAN BE AN AGENT OF SAVING LIVES DURING THIS FLOODY SEASON💝;all
you need is to have a will to help.

During this floody season most common emergencies are physical injuries,electric shock and near drowning.

LET'S LEARN BASICS OF THEIR FIRST AID🤒.

ELECTRIC SHOCK 😳
-Extreme of electrical shock depends mainly on the type of current either AC or DC,voltage or amperes and duration of contact.

AC current tends to freeze somebody on the electrical source while DC current tends to throw somebody away hence having increased risk for physical injuries such as fractures .

Electric current causes increase of uncontrolled electrical activity into the body.This inturn can lead to loss of muscle control and cardiac arrest .

If not immediately controlled ELECTROCUTION occurs😪

FIRST AID❣️💥

DON'TS ❌
-Don't touch the casualty with bare hands while he or she still connected to active electrical source

-Don't step into electrical connected fluids or water.
-Don't use electric conducting material to separate the casualty from the source.For example use of a metallic items.

THINGS TO DO ❣️

-Call for help immediately if available.
_immediately switch off the main switch if easily accessed
-Observe the casualty before touching to rule out any injuries that may require special handling.This is to avoid further injuring.

*** INCASE THE MAIN SWITCH IS NOT ACCESSIBLE , look for non conductive item such as wooden rod,wooden chairs, Rubber items etc to push or pull the casualty from the electric source or detaching the connections .

❣️VERY IMPORTANT; CHECK IF THE CASUALTY IS BREATHING.

If not breathing immediately initiate cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR);this is a process of giving somebody chest compressions while alternating with life breaths to help him or her breathe.
-Check for burn wounds and irrigate with cold water
-Put the casualty in recovery position (left side sleeping position) as he or she awaits further medical management

In Simple explanation.P2 contains high level of synthetic progestin (artificial progesterone). Progesterone in normal fertility circle,is usually released in large quantity after ovulation (eggs being released from ovaries)coz it's responsible for maintaining pregnancy.

Kwa hivo progesterone (progestin)ikiwa mob kwa blood, brain itadhani you are already pregnant or have ovulated.Then through negative feedback pathway, brain itareduce hormones zenye zina lead to ovulation (FSH and LH).Hizi hormones zikiwa kidogo inamaanisha hautapata ovulation=infertility

health instructions to avoid playing hide and seek with your fertility.

Postinor is an emergency contraceptive with very high synthetic progestin(Levonorgestrel).They are in two types P1 and P2 based on dosage and frequency of use per day .P1 is more stronger than P2.

The high progestin can lead to delayed fertility or even infertility based on concentration of use.The high progestin makes the hypothalamus (brain) think that ovulation has taken place, which in turn leads to reduction of FSH and LH, hormones responsible for follicles formation and ovulation.This means you will miss ovulation .

ovulation,no fertilization=infertility.

Due to its high progestin level ,IT IS ADVISED TO USE P2 TO A MAXIMUM OF 2 TIMES PER YEAR.
This is to prevent excess progestin in the body

P2,what do you know about it?There are many emergency contraceptives but their rate of use differs depending on cost and ease of availability.The safest among them is Copper based IUD, since it's non-hormonal.

Lets focus on adverse effects of most abused Emergency contraceptives; that is postinor 1(p1)and postinor 2(p2).
