UNKNOWN FACTS ABOUT S*X (EPISODE 2)

4. The Hidden Size of the Cl****is: While only the tip is visible externally, the cl****is is mostly internal, extending about 10 cm and wrapping around the va**nal canal.

5. Women’s Ability for Multiple Or***ms: Women lack a refractory period, allowing them to experience multiple or***ms in a short time.

6. Composition of Semen: S***m makes up just 5-10% of semen, with the rest consisting of enzymes, proteins, and fluids that support s***m function.

UNKNOWN FACTS ABOUT S*X (EPISODE 1)

1. The Brain is the Key to Arousal: Emotional connection, fantasies, and stress levels significantly influence s*xual desire, making the brain the most important s*xual organ.

2. S*x is a pain reliever: S*xual activity releases endorphins and oxytocin, natural painkillers that can ease headaches, cramps, and joint pain.

3. Boosting Immunity: Regular s*x (1-2 times weekly) increases levels of IgA, an antibody that helps fight illnesses.

Coitus interrupts (Withdrawal method)

Is it effective?

This is a natural contraception method in which a man takes his p***s out of the woman’s va**na just before he ej******es. Ej*******on may or may not take place afterwards.

Some factors that make this fail is the willingness of the man to withdraw, and there's pre-ejaculatory fluids that may be released prior to the actual ej*******on, which contain s***ms.

Myth:
Peeing after withdrawal will remove all s***ms from the urethra and the second episode will be safe from pregnancy. Don't fall for this trap, you will be a parent soon if you do this.

What is cancer and how does it come?

Cancer is the second leading cause of death in human beings.
1 in 2 men and 1 in 3 women is likely to suffer from cancer in their lifetime.
As such we should understand what cancer is and what we should do to stay safe.

Cancer is caused by the formation of mutated genes that control cell growth and cell division. These abnormal Genes are called oncogenes.
These oncogenes form mutated or abnormal cells that can grow and replicate to form cancerous tissue in any part of the body.

About Levonorgestrel a.k.a Morning after pill, plan B one-step.

Is an oral emergency contraceptive pill, which is indicated for prevention of pregnancy following unprotected s*xual in*******se or a known or suspected contraceptive failure.

1 pill (1.5mg) is taken as soon as possible within 72 hours of unprotected s*xual in*******se.
There is another formulation of 0.75mg tablets where there are two tablets, one is given as soon as possible and another after 12hours.

The pill is taken with full glass of water.
Alcohol intake , smoking, TB medications may reduce pill's effectiveness.
If you vomit within an hour after taking the pill, you are advised to take another one.

It is not an aborting drug, it doesn't do anything if you are already pregnant.

Intermenstrual bleeding/spotting, and menstrual cycle changes are likely to occur.

The pill works primarily by delaying ovulation, to some extent inhibiting fertilization, or inhibiting implantation.

However if the fertilization has already occurred, it may cause the pregnancy to be implanted out of the uterus (ectopic pregnancy).

It can be taken more than once within the menstrual cycle but frequent use may result into hormonal disturbances.

About Gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GERD)

This is the reflux when stomach acid containing contents get pushed up into the esophagus, which is the tube that carries food and drinks from the mouth to the stomach.

Some reflux is totally normal and harmless, usually causing no symptoms. But when it happens too often, it burns the inside of the esophagus and it can lead to a serious problem.

The most common symptom of GERD is known as heartburn, which is a painful, burning feeling in the chest or throat. Worse after eating, on lying, and bending forward.
Other symptoms include
Cough, hoarseness, night asthma.
Belching, acid regurgitation.

Some patients may be woken up at night if refluxed fluid irritates the larynx.

Some factors associated with this disease are:

• Pregnancy or obesity
• Fat, chocolate, coffee or alcohol ingestion
• Large meals
• Cigarette smoking
• Drugs , such as pain killers (NSAIDs), contraceptives, calcium channel blockers (anti-hyperntensive), etc
• Hiatus hernia
• Gastric acid hypersecretion.

TREATMENT
No one likes the feeling, and we’ve all felt it. The hot, burning acid creeping up your throat, putting pressure on your chest. But for those who suffer from gastroesophageal reflux disease, or GERD, it becomes incredibly bothersome, impacting your lifestyle.

But before you rush to your local pharmacy, there are scientifically backed natural GERD home remedy solutions you can try to alleviate the unwanted side effects of this uncomfortable problem:

1. Eat fruits:
Bananas have natural antacid properties that counteract acid reflux. Eat a fully ripened banana each day to reduce the discomfort of acid coming back up. Another great fruit to try is an apple. To prevent discomfort at night, slice up an apple and enjoy it a few hours before bedtime. Other fruits that can reduce instances of GERD are honeydew, cantaloupe and watermelon. Be sure to avoid fruits with high acidic content such as oranges, grapefruit and pineapple.

Reason Why AA is prone to malaria parasite infection than AS CARRIERS.👇👇

There's something called the spleen (an abdominal organ involved in the production and removal of blood cells in most vertebrates and forming part of the immune whose duty is to remove dead and sickled cells from the blood stream) Now remember the plasmodium parasite lives inside the RBC which are oval in shape.

whenever a sickle RBC gets to the spleen, it removes it from the system because the shape is not normal

Since the parasite enters the RBC whether sickle or normal, when ever a sickle RBC containing the M.parasite gets to the spleen, it is killed together with the sickle cell.

What this means is, the M.parasite load in an individual with genotype AS is always lower than that of an AA individual.

Hence an AA individual would most likely fall ill with malaria than an AS carrier even if they are both exposed to the same levels of mosquito bites.

Other factors like Diet, stress, environment and exposures to bites etc. play a role too.

And note, the sickle cell genotype (AS) is found primarily in West Africa and other wet regions of the world.

Did you know that the name Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) was changed by liver disease experts in June 2023? It has been replaced with the term Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease (MASLD) to better reflect the condition's metabolic origins and reduce stigma associated with the old name.

Similarly, Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH) is now known as Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatohepatitis (MASH).

To learn more about the reasons for these changes and explore the complete A-Z of MASLD, watch the full video on our YouTube channel. Link in the comment section 👇👇👇
