PELVIC INFLAMMATORY DISEASE

Pelvic inflammatory disease,
commonly called PID, is an infection of the female reproductive organs. PID is one of the most serious complications of a sexually transmitted disease in women: It can lead to irreversible damage to the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, or other parts of the female reproductive system, and is the primary preventable cause of infertility

What Causes Pelvic Inflammatory Disease?
Normally, the cervix prevents bacteria that enter the vagina from spreading to the internal reproductive organs. If the cervix is exposed to a sexually transmitted disease -- such as gonorrhea and/or chlamydia -- the cervix itself becomes infected and less able to prevent the spread of organisms to the internal organs. PID occurs when the disease-causing organisms travel from the cervix to the upper genital tract. Untreated gonorrhea and chlamydia cause about 90% of all cases of PID. Other causes include abortion, childbirth, and pelvic procedures.

What Are the Symptoms of Pelvic Inflammatory Disease?
The symptoms of PID can vary, but may include the following:

Dull pain or tenderness in the stomach or lower abdominal area, or pain in the right upper abdomen
Abnormal vaginal discharge that is yellow or green in color or that has an unusual odor
Painful urination
Chills or high fever
Nausea and vomiting
Pain during sex

What Puts a Person at Risk for Pelvic Inflammatory Disease?
There are several things which would put a woman at risk for PID, including:

Women with sexually transmitted diseases -- especially gonorrhea and chlamydia -- are at greater risk for developing PID.
Women who have had a prior episode of PID are at higher risk for another episode.
Sexually active teenagers are more likely to develop PID than are older women.
Women with many sexual partners are at greater risk for sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and PID.
Some studies suggest that douching may contribute to PID. Douching may push bacteria into the upper genital tract and may mask the discharge that could alert a woman to seek medical attention.

Antibiotics for Pelvic Inflammatory Disease

How Is Pelvic Inflammatory Disease Diagnosed?
Your doctor will begin with a detailed history of your general health and sexual activity. He or she will perform a pelvic exam to check the health of your reproductive organs, and look for evidence of gonorrhea and chlamydia infection. Your doctor may find the abnormal cervical discharge and tenderness of the cervix, fallopian tubes and cervix on examination. This discharge will be tested to determine the cause of the infection, including cultures for gonorrhea and chlamydia.

If your doctor suspects PID, he or she may order other tests, including:

Blood tests to analyze blood for evidence of infection.
Ultrasound (sonogram) to view the reproductive organs.
Other tests less commonly performed include:

Endometrial biopsy, a procedure in which a small sample of tissue from the lining of the uterus (endometrium) is removed for evaluation and testing.
Laparoscopy, a procedure during which a thin, lighted instrument (laparoscope) is inserted through a small cut in the lower abdomen to allow the doctor to examine the internal reproductive organs.

What Is the Treatment for PID?
If the findings of your exam or tests suggest PID, treatment is started immediately.

Antibiotics. The initial treatment for mild cases of PID usually consists of one or more antibiotic medications taken by mouth. More significant cases can be treated with a combination of intravenous and oral antibiotics. If treatment is not effective, if you cannot take antibiotics by mouth, or if the infection is severe, you may need to be hospitalized to receive medication intravenously (directly into a vein).
If you are diagnosed with PID, your sexual partner(s) also must be treated even if they do not have any symptoms. Otherwise, the infection will likely recur when you have sex again.

Surgery. When PID causes an abscess (when the inflamed tissue forms a collection of pus), antibiotics are no longer as effective. Surgery is often needed to remove the abscesses (or the organ with the abscess) to prevent them from rupturing and causing widespread infection throughout the pelvis and abdomen. Depending on the conditions, this may be done with a laparoscope (a thin, lighted instrument) or with a procedure in which the doctor opens the abdomen to view the internal organs (laparotomy). Both techniques are major surgical procedures and are performed under general anesthesia (you are put to sleep).
If abscesses have formed on the uterus or ovaries, your doctor may recommend hysterectomy (removal of the uterus) or oophorectomy (removal of the ovaries).

What Problems Could Pelvic Inflammatory Disease Cause?
Recurrent episodes of PID can result in scarring of the fallopian tubes, which can lead to infertility, ectopic (tubal) pregnancy, or chronic pelvic pain. Infertility occurs in about one in eight women who have PID.

Can Pelvic Inflammatory Disease Be Prevented?
PID is completely preventable. The number one cause of PID is untreated STDs (also called STIs, sexually transmitted infections). Steps you can take to prevent PID include:

Avoid multiple sexual partners.
Use barrier methods of birth control (condoms and/or a diaphragm) and spermicides for every single act of intercourse -- even if you use birth control pills.
Avoid IUDs if you have multiple sexual partners.
Seek treatment immediately if you notice signs of PID or any sexually transmitted disease, including unusual vaginal discharge, pelvic pain, or bleeding between periods.
Have regular gynecologic check-ups and screenings since many cervical infections can be identified and treated before they spread to the internal reproductive organs. Thanks for reading.

How to do a self breast examination at home

The breast also known as the mammary gland is a very important accessory gland of the female reproductive system.Its importance ranges from breastfeeding,sexual intercourse and many other more.Due to its importance adequate care must be given to it. Below are some steps which will help you do a self breast examination at the comfort of your homes which would lessen your stress of joining long queues to see a doctor.
Step 1: Begin by looking at your breasts in the mirror with your shoulders straight and your arms on your hips.

Here's what you should look for:

Breasts that are their usual size, shape, and color
Breasts that are evenly shaped without visible distortion or swelling
If you see any of the following changes, bring them to your doctor's attention:

Dimpling, puckering, or bulging of the skin
A nipple that has changed position or an inverted nipple (pushed inward instead of sticking out)
Redness, soreness, rash, or swelling

Step 2: Now, raise your arms and look for the same changes.

Step 3: While you're at the mirror, look for any signs of fluid coming out of one or both nipples (this could be a watery, milky, or yellow fluid or blood).


Step 4: Next, feel your breasts while lying down, using your right hand to feel your left breast and then your left hand to feel your right breast. Use a firm, smooth touch with the first few finger pads of your hand, keeping the fingers flat and together. Use a circular motion, about the size of a quarter.

Cover the entire breast from top to bottom, side to side — from your collarbone to the top of your abdomen, and from your armpit to your cleavage.

Follow a pattern to be sure that you cover the whole breast. You can begin at the nipple, moving in larger and larger circles until you reach the outer edge of the breast. You can also move your fingers up and down vertically, in rows, as if you were mowing a lawn. This up-and-down approach seems to work best for most women. Be sure to feel all the tissue from the front to the back of your breasts: for the skin and tissue just beneath, use light pressure; use medium pressure for tissue in the middle of your breasts; use firm pressure for the deep tissue in the back. When you've reached the deep tissue, you should be able to feel down to your ribcage.

Step 5: Finally, feel your breasts while you are standing or sitting. Many women find that the easiest way to feel their breasts is when their skin is wet and slippery, so they like to do this step in the shower. Cover your entire breast, using the same hand movements described in step 4.

Self breast examination is of great importance because it helps in the early detection of breast cancer before further deterioration.

what actually causes fibroids

The increased rate of fibroids  in Ghana and all over the world has become a very hard nut to crack. Many are contemplating on the causes of fibroids.Some say they are caused by the food we eat.Others say they are caused by old age.kindly read along as Nana yaa on point gives you an accurate and detailed information on fibriods.
Fibroids are the most frequently seen tumors of the female reproductive system. Fibroids, also known as uterine myomas, leiomyomas, or fibromas, are firm, compact tumors that are made of smooth muscle cells and fibrous connective tissue that develop in the uterus. It is estimated that between 20 to 50 percent of women of reproductive age have fibroids, although not all are diagnosed. Some estimates state that up to 30 to 77 percent of women will develop fibroids sometime during their childbearing years, although only about one-third of these fibroids are large enough to be detected by a health care provider during a physical examination.
In more than 99 percent of fibroid cases, the tumors are benign (non-cancerous). These tumors are not associated with cancer and do not increase a woman's risk for uterine cancer. They may range in size, from the size of a pea to the size of a softball or small grapefruit.

What causes fibroid tumors?
While it is not clearly known what causes fibroids, it is believed that each tumor develops from an aberrant muscle cell in the uterus, which multiplies rapidly because of the influence of estrogen.

Who is at risk for fibroid tumors?
Women who are approaching menopause are at the greatest risk for fibroids because of their long exposure to high levels of estrogen. Women who are obese and of African-American heritage also seem to be at an increased risk, although the reasons for this are not clearly understood.
Research has also shown that some factors may protect a woman from developing fibroids. Some studies, of small numbers of women, have indicated that women who have had two liveborn children have one-half the risk of developing uterine fibroids compared to women who have had no children. Scientists are not sure whether having children actually protected women from fibroids or whether fibroids were a factor in infertility in women who had no children. The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development is conducting further research on this topic and other factors that may affect the diagnosis and treatment of fibroids.

What are the symptoms of fibroids?
Some women who have fibroids have no symptoms, or have only mild symptoms, while other women have more severe, disruptive symptoms. The following are the most common symptoms for uterine fibroids, however, each individual may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms of uterine fibroids may include:
Heavy or prolonged menstrual periods
Abnormal bleeding between menstrual periods
Pelvic pain (caused as the tumor presses on pelvic organs)
Frequent urination
Low back pain
Pain during intercourse
A firm mass, often located near the middle of the pelvis, which can be felt by the physician
In some cases, the heavy or prolonged menstrual periods, or the abnormal bleeding between periods, can lead to iron-deficiency anemia, which also requires treatment.

How are fibroids diagnosed?
Fibroids are most often found during a routine pelvic examination. This, along with an abdominal examination, may indicate a firm, irregular pelvic mass to the physician. In addition to a complete medical history and physical and pelvic and/or abdominal examination, diagnostic procedures for uterine fibroids may include:
X-ray. Electromagnetic energy used to produce images of bones and internal organs onto film.

Transvaginal ultrasound (also called ultrasonography). An ultrasound test using a small instrument, called a transducer, that is placed in the vagina.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). A non-invasive procedure that produces a two-dimensional view of an internal organ or structure.

Hysterosalpingography. X-ray examination of the uterus and fallopian tubes that uses dye and is often performed to rule out tubal obstruction.
Hysteroscopy. Visual examination of the canal of the cervix and the interior of the uterus using a viewing instrument (hysteroscope) inserted through the vagina.

Endometrial biopsy. A procedure in which a sample of tissue is obtained through a tube which is inserted into the uterus.

Blood test (to check for iron-deficiency anemia if heavy bleeding is caused by the tumor).
Treatment for fibroids

Since most fibroids stop growing or may even shrink as a woman approaches menopause, the health care provider may simply suggest "watchful waiting." With this approach, the health care provider monitors the woman's symptoms carefully to ensure that there are no significant changes or developments and that the fibroids are not growing.
In women whose fibroids are large or are causing significant symptoms, treatment may be necessary. Treatment will be determined by your health care provider(s) based on:
Your overall health and medical history
Extent of the disease
Your tolerance for specific medications, procedures, or therapies
Expectations for the course of the disease
Your opinion or preference
Your desire for pregnancy
In general, treatment for fibroids may include:
Hysterectomy. Hysterectomies involve the surgical removal of the entire uterus. Fibroids remain the number one reason for hysterectomies in the United States.
Conservative surgical therapy. Conservative surgical therapy uses a procedure called a myomectomy. With this approach, physicians will remove the fibroids, but leave the uterus intact to enable a future pregnancy.
Gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists (GnRH agonists). This approach lowers levels of estrogen and triggers a "medical menopause." Sometimes GnRH agonists are used to shrink the fibroid, making surgical treatment easier.
Anti-hormonal agents. Certain drugs oppose estrogen (such as progestin and Danazol), and appear effective in treating fibroids. Anti-progestins, which block the action of progesterone, are also sometimes used.
Uterine artery embolization. Also called uterine fibroid embolization, uterine artery embolization (UAE) is a newer minimally-invasive (without a large abdominal incision) technique. The arteries supplying blood to the fibroids are identified, then embolized (blocked off). The embolization cuts off the blood supply to the fibroids, thus shrinking them. Health care providers continue to evaluate the long-term implications of this procedure on fertility and regrowth of the fibroid tissue.
Anti-inflammatory painkillers. This type of drug is often effective for women who experience occasional pelvic pain or discomfort.

How to stop ur menstrual flow

Many women ask if there any ways to stop having their periods. Sometimes having a menstrual period can be inconvenient and may interfere with travel plans, sports, or most frequently, sex. Some women simply hate the symptoms that accompany their periods such as cramps, headaches or back pain, all of which can interfere with work or leisure. Some women experience heavy bleeding and would like to control it, especially when they are going to a party or on vacation. Still others would just like to delay a period for a day or two so they can do something or go somewhere without the inconvenience of having it. Some women would also prefer not having them at all, particularly those that do not plan on having children at the moment.
Some women have tried many ways to delay or stop their periods after asking friend's advice or researching methods online. Most of them receive bad advice or unreliable suggestions which are not only ineffective but may also be potentially harmful to their health. In medicine, there are very few ways to stop your period and most methods will only temporarily stop or delay your period. Whatever your reasons are, here are some ways to safely but temporarily stop your period.

How to Stop Your Period
Use Contraceptives
The best way to stop your period is to use birth control or contraceptives. Before you do it is best to see a doctor who will advise you on which type will best suit your needs. Your doctor will explain what to expect, what dosage to use, and any risks involved.
Hormonal contraceptives inhibit ovulation and fertilization. They can be injectable, oral, or in a patch form. Implants and intrauterine devices that release hormones are also available. The simplest way to stop monthly periods is to take oral contraceptives in pill form. These hormonal pills should be taken one cycle before the period that you don't want to have. When taken regularly as directed, you will stop having periods. Once you stop taking them, your periods will return.
You must remember that prolonged intake of hormonal contraceptives is associated with an increased risk of headaches, hormonal imbalances, cardiovascular disease, and cancer. So before using any of these, consult your physician for proper guidance.

Use a Flexible Cup
There is a flexible cup called Softcup which is inserted through the vagina and placed in front of the cervix to collect menstrual flow. It does not stop your period but it prevents blood from flowing from the vagina, just like a tampon. It can be worn for up to 12 hours and can be reused throughout your period.
The advantage of using this device is that it seems to stop your period without the side effects of hormones or medications. You can use it while swimming, traveling, or having sex. However, to avoid leakage you must use a new cup instead of reusing one. You must also remember that these cups does not prevent pregnancy and is not intended to be used as a contraceptive device.

Take Medications
Tranexamic acid (tablet) is a medication that induces clotting of blood in the uterus, thus reducing heavy menstrual bleeding by about 30-60 percent. You can take 2-3 tablets, 3-4 times daily when bleeding starts. These does can continue for three or four days. These are not hormonal contraceptives, so they will not prevent pregnancy.
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as mefenamic acid, ibuprofen, or naproxen are painkillers that may also be recommended for controlling menstrual flow. These tablets help reduce abdominal cramps related to menstruation, but they may also reduce bleeding by 20-50%. You may take them 3-4 times a day before your period and continue taking them until your period stops.
Gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists are drugs that can reduce bleeding during your period and simulate temporary menopause, including hot flashes. However, they should only be used on a short-term basis as they are very costly and can produce serious side effects. They work by interfering with estrogen activity in your body. Long-term use can lead to weak bones or osteoporosis.

Consider Surgery
Your doctor may recommend surgery to control or stop your periods. This would occur if you have a medical condition that causes heavy menstrual bleeding such as a myoma, a uterine fibroid, or endometriosis. Your doctor may suggest a hysterectomy, or the complete removal of your uterus. This will completely stop your periods from occurring, but will only be performed if other surgical procedures are unsuccessful. Other procedures include:
Uterine artery embolization, which blocks arteries, thus causing fibroids to shrink.
Myomectomy, or removal of a myoma (a non-cancerous tumor inside the uterus)
Endometrial ablation, which destroys the inner lining of the uterus

Natural Ways
Drinking a great deal of water or juice can help you lighten your periods.
Eating healthy, making a point to consume a great deal of fruits and vegetables can also help easy menstrual symptoms.
Green beans in particular are known to help slow your menstrual cycle.
Swallowing two teaspoons of apple cider vinegar mixed into a glass of water can help slow your menstrual flow and calm your other symptoms. For the best effects, take this cure three times a day.
Some find that mixing a package of gelatin with water and quickly consuming the mixture can stop your period for around three hours.
Sucking on a piece of lemon has also been shown to temporarily stop your period.
Taking a bath can also help temporarily slow or stop your menstrual flow.
In some cases you can hide your period by wearing a smaller tampon or spongy pads that are less noticeable.
