Know Your Numbers, Save Your Heart!

High cholesterol can silently increase your risk of heart attacks, strokes, and other cardiovascular diseases. Protect your heart health by:

Knowing your cholesterol levels
Eating a balanced diet
Staying physically active
Managing stress

Your body needs just the right amount of lipids to function. If you have too many lipids, your body can’t use them all. The extra lipids start to build up in your arteries. They combine with other substances in your blood to form plaque (fatty deposits).

This plaque might not cause any problems for years, but over time, the plaque silently gets bigger and bigger within your arteries. This is why untreated high cholesterol is dangerous. Those extra lipids in your blood help make the plaque bigger without you even knowing it. The only way to know you have high cholesterol is through a blood test.

Get checked, stay informed, and take control of your heart health!

Blocked fallopian tubes, also known as tubal occlusion, is a condition where the fallopian tubes, which carry eggs from the ovaries to the uterus, are blocked or obstructed. This blockage can prevent the s***m from reaching the egg, hindering fertilization, or prevent the fertilized egg from traveling to the uterus for implantation, leading to infertility.

Causes include:

Causes
1. *Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID)*: Infection and inflammation can cause scarring and blockage.
2. *Endometriosis*: Growth of tissue outside the uterus can cause blockage.
3. *Surgery or trauma*: Previous surgeries or trauma to the pelvic area can cause scarring.
4. *Infections*: Certain infections, such as chlamydia or gonorrhea, can cause inflammation and blockage.

Symptoms
1. *Infertility*: Difficulty conceiving.
2. *Pelvic pain*: Pain in the lower abdomen or pelvis.
3. *Abnormal bleeding*: Irregular or heavy menstrual bleeding.

Diagnosis
1. *Hysterosalpingogram (HSG)*: An imaging test that uses dye to visualize the fallopian tubes.
2. *Laparoscopy*: A surgical procedure that allows visualization of the pelvic organs.

Treatment
1. *Surgery*: Tubal surgery can remove blockages or repair damaged tubes.
2. *In vitro fertilization (IVF)*: Assisted reproductive technology that bypasses the fallopian tubes.
3. *Fertility medications*: Medications can stimulate ovulation and improve fertility.

If you're experiencing fertility issues, consulting a healthcare provider or fertility specialist can help determine the best course of action.
