Menstruation is that beautiful time of the month when the uterus realizes that no pregnancy is forthcoming and it expresses its disappointment with cramps, mood swings, bloating, nausea, abdominal pains and the rest of it.

Every month, a woman’s body prepares for a possible pregnancy by thickening the lining of the uterus (called the endometrium). The anterior pituitary gland would keep releasing hormones (LH & FSH) to keep building the uterus with support and every nourishment it needs to house a fetus. If at 21 — 28 days and there was no fertilization, the endometrium of the uterus feels bad and starts to break down those lining it has build. Those lining, along with blood and other fluids, exits the body through the vag!na. That results to menstruation (menstrual phase). And it usually last between 3 to 7 days.

But it’s so sad that people still see menstruation as something bad and never to be spoken of. I believe that most women cried, were nervous when they first saw their me**es. They don’t know how powerful menstruation is. Most women cry and pray for a regular menstruation. Some women experience Menorrhagia, Amenorrhea, Oligomenorrhea, Dysmenorrhea, etc.

Again, there’s an ongoing research into menstrual blood and its potential therapeutic applications, including:

1. Stem cells — Menstrual blood contains stem cells with potential for regenerative medicine.
2. Wound healing— Some studies suggest menstrual blood may aid in wound healing.

What do we do this period? Now, it is important for women to maintain personal hygiene, always be prepared, and dispose used pads properly. We should also encourage and care for these women as it’s not easy to loose blo o d monthly.

And most importantly, do not mock a girl that got stained 🇯🇵. There’s nothing funny about this.

You can also buy pads and support the less privileged women as most girls and women can’t even afford a pad.

This is the Uterus also known as Womb.
This little space has carried generations! It has birthed Kings, Queens, world leaders, Priests and even criminals
This is where life begins, where cells become a heartbeat and where the world's strongest connections (mother and child) is formed.
We always talk about the heart when we talk about love but we forget there's another kind of heart, one that doesn't beat but gives life: the UTERUS
Take care of your womb ladies, do not take harmful substances that can affect your womb.
Always go for routine Pelvic ultrasound scan to check up your womb and it surroundings organs

Viewers Discretion

A nuchal cord(cord around the neck)is very common.
✧
About a third of all babies are born with a nuchal cord.
✧
The umbilical cord is buried and covered in Wharton’s jelly which is a gelatinous substance that protects the cord from stretch and compression.
✧
Although this may look and sound scary, most studies show that nuchal cords are usually not associated with complications during pregnancy or birth.
✧
The cord will be unwrapped before the baby’s body is born or the cord will be left in place and unwrapped after baby is born.
✧
Rarely, a provider may feel the cord is too tight, in this instance your provider may want to clamp and cut the cord after the head is born to expedite the birth of the baby.(this can lead to poor outcomes, the Somersault maneuver is a better option)

*🗣️Lost in Wakefulness; The Alarming truth about Insomnia*🤯👁️📌

`Insomnia is more than just a minor inconvenience that leaves you feeling tired 😴. It's a complex condition that can have far-reaching effects on your brain 🧠, body 💪, and overall well-being 🤯. From impaired cognitive function and mood disorders to increased risk of chronic diseases, the consequences of insomnia can be severe 🤕.`

_When you don't get enough sleep or experience poor sleep quality 😕, your brain enters a state of hyperarousal, making it difficult to wind down and relax 😓. This can disrupt the balance of neurotransmitters, leading to a decrease in sleep-promoting chemicals like serotonin and GABA 😔, and an increase in wakefulness-promoting chemicals like norepinephrine and histamine ☕️._

```The effects of insomnia can be widespread 🌎. People with insomnia often deal with mood disorders such as anxiety 😟, paranoia, and even hallucinations 🤪. Their bodies release more stress hormones 💔, which can increase blood pressure and risk of heart disease ❤️. The immune system also weakens 😐, making it easier to get sick 🤢. Even digestion and appetite change - many people overeat to stay energized, leading to weight gain 🍴. There's a greater risk of accidents too 🚨, due to poor reflexes and coordination 🤹‍♀️.```

_The good news? 🙌 Insomnia isn’t impossible to manage 💪._

*With the right attention to mental health 🧠, daily habits 📅, and sleep routines 🛋️, it can be improved without relying only on sleeping pills 💊. By prioritizing your well-being and making a few changes, you can break the cycle of insomnia and wake up feeling rested, refreshed, and ready to take on the day 🌞!*

Prevention to TB
1 Vaccination
2 Avoid close contact
3 Screening and testing
4 public health measures eg tracing and isolation

Tuberculosis (TB) is a bacterial infection caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis that primarily affects the lungs, but can also affect other parts of the body. TB is a serious public health concern, particularly in developing countries. Understanding the causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of TB is essential for effective management and control.

What is Tuberculosis?
TB is a contagious disease that spreads through the air when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or talks, releasing droplets that contain the bacteria. TB can affect anyone, but certain groups are more susceptible, such as people with weakened immune systems, malnutrition, or chronic diseases.

Types of Tuberculosis
There are two main types of TB:

1. *Latent TB infection*: The bacteria are present in the body, but the person is not sick and cannot spread the disease to others.
2. *Active TB disease*: The bacteria multiply and cause symptoms, making the person sick and potentially contagious.Causes of Tuberculosis
TB is caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Risk factors for developing TB include:

1. *Close contact with an infected person*: Living with someone who has active TB increases the risk of transmission.

2. *Weakened immune system*: People with HIV/AIDS, cancer, or taking immunosuppressive medications are more susceptible.

3. *Malnutrition*: Poor nutrition can weaken the immune system, increasing the risk of TB.
4. *Chronic diseases*: Certain conditions, such as diabetes, can increase the risk of developing TB.

Symptoms of Tuberculosis
The symptoms of TB can vary depending on the location and severity of the infection. Common symptoms include:

1. *Coughing*: Persistent coughing, sometimes producing mucus or blood.

2. *Chest pain*: Pain in the chest, especially when coughing or breathing deeply.

3. *Coughing up blood*: Coughing up blood or rust-colored mucus.
4. *Fatigue*: Feeling tired or weak.
5. *Weight loss*: Unintentional weight loss.

4. *Fatigue*: Feeling tired or weak.
5. *Weight loss*: Unintentional weight loss.
6. *Fever*: Low-grade fever, often accompanied by chills.
7. *Night sweats*: Sweating excessively at night.

Diagnosis of Tuberculosis
Diagnosing TB typically involves:

1. *Medical history*: A healthcare provider will review medical history, including symptoms and risk factors.
2. *Physical examination*: A physical examination to assess overall health.

3. *Chest X-ray*: A chest X-ray to evaluate lung health.

4. *Sputum test*: A test to detect the presence of TB bacteria in sputum.
5. *Blood tests*: Blood tests to detect TB antibodies or antigens.

Treatment of Tuberculosis
Treatment for TB typically involves a combination of antibiotics taken for several months. The most common treatment regimen includes:

1. *Isoniazid*: A first-line antibiotic used to treat TB.
2. *Rifampicin*: Another first-line antibiotic used in combination with isoniazid

3. *Other antibiotics*: Additional antibiotics may be prescribed depending on the severity and drug resistance of the infection.

The human Y chromosome, which determines male s*x, is slowly disappearing, potentially spelling extinction for humans unless a new s*x-determining gene evolves.

But there's hope, as some rodents have already lost their Y chromosomes and found alternative ways to survive.

The Y chromosome contains the SRY gene, which initiates male development in human embryos. However, over millions of years, the Y has been shedding genes. If this trend continues, the last of its remaining 55 genes could vanish in 11 million years.

Rodents like mole voles in Eastern Europe and spiny rats in Japan have lost their Y chromosomes entirely, yet they continue to reproduce. In spiny rats, researchers identified a new s*x-determining gene near SOX9 on chromosome 3, which appears to have replaced SRY.

This discovery provides optimism that humans could also evolve a new s*x-determining gene.

COMMON EYE DISEASES👁️👁️👁️

The most common eye diseases include,
-Refractive Errors:

-Myopia (Nearsightedness): difficulty seeing distant objects clearly due to an elongated eyeball or curved cornea.

-Hyperopia (Farsightedness): difficulty seeing close objects clearly due to a shortened eyeball or flat cornea.

-Astigmatism: distorted vision at all distances due to an irregularly shaped cornea or lens.

-Presbyopia: age-related loss of close-up focusing ability, typically occurring between 40-50 years old.

-Cataracts: clouding of the eye's natural lens, leading to decreased vision, commonly affecting older adults.

-Glaucoma: a group of diseases damaging the optic nerve, potentially causing vision loss and blindness, often due to increased intraocular pressure.

- Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD): progressive damage to the macula, causing central vision loss, with two forms:
#- Dry AMD: gradual vision loss due to macular thinning.
#-Wet AMD: rapid vision loss due to abnormal blood vessel growth.

-Diabetic Retinopathy: damage to retinal blood vessels due to diabetes, potentially causing vision impairment and blindness.

-Dry Eye Syndrome: inadequate tear production or poor tear quality, leading to eye irritation and vision issues.

-Conjunctivitis (Pink Eye): inflammation of the conjunctiva, often caused by infection, allergies, or irritants.

These conditions can significantly impact vision and quality of life, emphasizing the importance of regular eye exams and proper eye care. PLS FOLLOW MY PAGE.
