TYPES OF STROKES

There are three types of Strokes but today we'll talk about two types:

1) ● ISCHEMIC STROKE
Ischemic stroke is the most common form of stroke, accounting for around 85% of strokes.
*This type of stroke is caused by blockages or narrowing of the arteries that supply blood to the brain, resulting to ischemia(severely reduced blood flow)
*These blockages are often caused by blood clots .clots can be caused by Fatty deposits within the arteries called PLAQUE

2) ●HEMORRHAGIC STROKE
Hemorrhagic stroke is caused by arteries in the brain either leaking blood or bursting open.
The ruptures can be caused by conditions such as:
Hypertension, Trauma
,Blood thinning medications and aneurysm (weakness in blood vessels walls).

The major risk factors for stroke include:

High blood pressure

Diabetes

Heart and blood vessel diseases: Conditions that can cause blood clots or other blockages include
*coronary heart disease ( Damage or disease in the heart's major blood vessels.)

*atrial fibrillation (An irregular, often rapid heart rate that commonly causes poor blood flow.)-this one can have symptoms like heart palpitations and shortness of breath

*heart valve disease (this is any disease involving the heart valves)

High LDL cholesterol levels ( bad fat)

Smoking

Brain aneurysms

Type 2 diabetes is an impairment in the way the body regulates and uses sugar (glucose) as a fuel. This long-term (chronic) condition results in too much sugar circulating in the bloodstream. Eventually, high blood sugar levels can lead to disorders of the circulatory, nervous and immune systems

Type 2 Diabetes Causes

When you're healthy, your pancreas (an organ behind your stomach) releases insulin to help your body store and use sugar from the food you eat. Diabetes happens when one or more of the following occurs:
Your pancreas doesn't make any insulin.

Your pancreas makes very little insulin.

Your body doesn’t respond the way it should to insulin

SYMPTOMS MAY INCLUDE :
*excessive hunger,
*excessive thirst or fatigue
* weight gain or weight loss
*frequent urination
* blurred vision
*poor wound healing
*low libido
*erectile dysfunction

What Are Uterine Fibroids?

Uterine fibroids, which your doctor may call leiomyomas or myomas, are muscular tumors that can grow on your uterus. They rarely turn into cancer, and if you get them it doesn’t mean you’re more likely to get uterine cancer.
Fibroids can vary a lot in size, shape, and location. They can show up in your uterus, uterine wall, or on its surface. They can also attach to your uterus by a stalk- or stem-like structure.
Some are so small that your doctor can’t even see them with the naked eye. Others grow in big masses that can affect the size and shape of your uterus.
Uterine fibroids usually appear in women of childbearing age -- generally between 30-40 years old, but they can show up at any age. They’re more common in African-American women than in white women, and they also tend to show up earlier and grow quicker in African-American women. Doctors don’t know why that is.

Symptoms of Uterine Fibroids

Fibroids may cause very mild symptoms, no symptoms at all, or symptoms that are severe. The most common symptoms of uterine fibroids include:
Heavy, prolonged, or painful periods

Pain in the lower abdomen or back

Painful s*x

Frequent urination

Discomfort in the re**um

Causes of Uterine Fibroids

Experts don’t know exactly why you get fibroids. Hormones and genetics might make you more likely to get them.
Hormones. Estrogen and progesterone are the hormones that make the lining of your uterus thicken every month during your period. They also seem to affect fibroid growth. When hormone production slows down during menopause, fibroids usually shrink.
Genetics. Researchers have found genetic differences between fibroids and normal cells in the uterus.
Other growth factors. Substances in your body that help with tissue upkeep, such as insulin-like growth factor, may play a part in fibroid growth.
Extracellular matrix (ECM). ECM makes your cells stick together. Fibroids have more ECM than normal cells, which makes them fibrous. ECM also keeps growth factors in it and causes cells to change.

What Is Low S***m?

A “normal” s***m count is at least 15 million s***m per milliliter of semen. If you have less than that, you have what doctors consider “low” s***m count, called oligos***mia.

What Is Quality S***m?

Even if you have a normal s***m count, they still have to be healthy enough to make the journey from your partner’s va**na to the cervix and uterus to the fallopian tubes. If they’re not, you’ll have a hard time getting them pregnant.

Causes of Low S***m

Any number of things can lead to low s***m count, including previous medical problems, age, and your environment. Your lifestyle factors in, too, so if you smoke or use recreational drugs, they can affect your fertility.

Symptoms Of High Blood Sugar

High blood sugar symptoms come in stages and can develop slowly. For individuals in the early stage of diabetes and have not yet been diagnosed, symptoms of high blood sugar can be the indicators that force them to seek medical treatment. By addressing the early symptoms, patients can stave off the dangerous long-term health conditions caused by poorly managed diabetes. All of the symptoms of high blood sugar are signs the body is trying to compensate for the elevated levels of glucose in the blood.If blood sugar gets above 160, patients may find they suffer from increased thirst. Their mouth may be constantly dry, leaving behind a bitter or unpleasant taste. If they have diabetes and suffer from dry mouth, they check their blood sugar as well as for the presence of ketones in their urine.
Ketones are the toxic acids left in the body when muscles go into starvation mode. If a patient develops both a high level of ketones and high blood sugar, they may be headed for a diabetic coma caused by a condition known as ketoacidosis. This condition is more commonly found in those with type 1 diabetes.

What Do Hormones Have to Do With PCOS?

When you have PCOS, your reproductive hormones are out of balance. This can lead to problems with your ovaries, such as not having your period on time or not getting it at all.
Your body makes hormones to make different things happen. Some affect your menstrual cycle and are tied to your ability to have a baby. The hormones that play a role in PCOS include:

Androgens. They’re often called male hormones, but women have them, too. Women with PCOS tend to have higher levels.

Insulin. This hormone manages your blood sugar. If you have PCOS, your body might not react to insulin the way it should.

Progesterone. With PCOS, your body may not have enough of this hormone. You might miss your periods for a long time or have trouble predicting when they’ll come.

How to treat hemorrhoids at home

You don't need to see a doctor for quick ways to ease your itching and pain, or for ongoing fixes to keep the discomfort from getting worse. The best treatments for hemorrhoids are often things you can do at home.
Many of these tips will help you avoid constipation and make it easier to go. That can stop hemorrhoids before they form, too.

Ease Pain and Itching

Take warm baths. Soak in a bathtub filled with a few inches of warm water for about 15 minutes at a time. Do it two or three times a day and after every bowel movement. If you want to wash the area, too, use unscented soap and don't scrub
Pat gently afterward to dry. You can even use a blow dryer on a cool setting if that feels better.
There are also special "sitz baths" you can put directly on your toilet seat to make soaking easier
