As we mentioned in previous articles, during the last stage of the menstrual cycle, normally a layer of endometriosis lining in the inside of uterus is expelled. known as menstruation blood Instead some of the endometriosis tissues grow somewhere in the body causing endometriosis. They also react to hormonal signals of the monthly menstrual cycle, building up tissue, breaking it, and eliminating it through the menstrual period. In this article, we will discuss endometriosis and the digestive system.

1. Constipation or difficult defecation
Defecation is the final act of digestion by which organisms eliminate waste material from the digestive tract via the anus. Constipation is caused by endometriosis implants or adhesion that are attached to organs of excretion resulting in painful urination, as well as defecation.

2. Bloating
Bloating may have several causes, the most common being accumulation of liquids and intestinal gas. In endometriosis, bloating is caused by ovarian cysts, endometrial implants, or adhesion in the intestines that promote collection of fluid within an ovary causing swelling in the abdominal region and swelling in the digestive system as resulting of lack of regular ovulation and excessive amounts of androgenic hormones.

3. Rectal bleeding
Constipation normally is the main cause of rectal bleeding. In endometriosis, endometrial implants or adhesion in large intestine resulting in rectal bleeding as waste passing through. It also causes rectal bleeding just before and during menstruation as endometrial bleeding.

4. Diarrhea
Sudden bouts of diarrhea may be caused by bacterial infection. In woman with endometriosis, deficiency of vitamin A and B are common, causing low level of enzymes that allow food to pass through the intestine undigested.

5. Fluid retention
Fluid retention may be caused by endometrial cysts located other than in the reproductive system. Endometrial lining bleeding during menstruation causes blood to have nowhere to escape causing fluid retention in some parts of the body.

6. Sugar craving
Sugar craving is the symptom of premenstrual syndrome. Women with endometriosis also have premenstrual syndrome. Unlike other woman, they also have a high level of abnormal tolerance curves because of low levels of progesterone resulting in an over-production of adrenaline causing sugar craving.

7. Loss of appetite
Woman with intestinal endometriosis may have loss of appetite present only at the time of the menstrual period or they may be present all month long and worsen at the time of the period.

I remember as a child watching a wonderful movie called “Animals are Beautiful People.” The movie is about the different animals living in Africa and how much they are like human beings. In one scene, a native shows the technique for catching monkeys. They would catch monkeys, not for food, but for water. The monkeys knew where the water was so the African would give the monkey salt. After getting very thirsty from licking the block of salt, it would lead the native to the water source. The interesting part is how the monkeys are caught.

First, the native would make sure a curious monkey is watching him. He then would but some nuts, berries, or other food into a hollowed out log or rock. After a while, curiosity gets the best of the little monkey and he just has to know what is in that hole. The opening is just large enough for the monkey to put his hand in. When the monkey grabs what is inside, his fist is too big to pull it out of the hole. He’s just too stubborn to let go of his prize and pull his hand out. The native can simply walk over and tie the monkey to a tree.

The reason I relay this story to you is to demonstrate how these big drug companies capture you. They lure you in with slick direct to consumer advertising. I’m sure you’ve seen the commercials on television. Everyone seems to be so happy after taking this little pill. They can suddenly ride bicycles, climb mountains, fish, hike, laugh, play, and have a beautiful relationship with their spouse. So now your curiosity is aroused and you want to see what this medication is all about. In a recent study, 75% of patients who asked their doctor for a particular name brand drug, regardless of their condition, got it. Drug companies advertise to you because it works.

Once you think that this pill is going to be the answer to your dreams, they have you. You just can’t wait to try this pill that is going to make your life wonderful. They know that you cannot just open your hand and let go, just like the monkey.

Remember when Claritin first came out several years ago? The manufacturer spent millions of dollars advertising the new drug. It was the first non-sedating anti-histamine. Suddenly, people without allergies were asking their doctor for Claritin. Not because they needed it, but because they saw the commercial. When Prilosec was introduced to the market, it took the subject of heartburn to the front page. For years, the old standby drugs worked just fine (and they still do). Then this new medication became available and everyone wanted it. Next time you see one of these commercials, pay attention to the people in the advertisement. For Paxil, a woman can’t face the social gathering outside until she popped her pill, then she is the life of the party. After taking Levitra, a man can suddenly throw a football through a tire. Hidden meaning? Maybe. (You can get Claritin free at [http://www.claritin.com], free Prilosec OTC at http://www.prilosecotc.com, and free Levitra at http://www.levitra.com)

According to Forbes magazine, the most expensive diseases are:

• Heart Conditions at $68 billion

• Cancer at $48 billion

• Mental Illness at $48 billion

• Respiratory ailments at $45 billion

• Hypertension at $32.5 billion

• Arthritis and joint disorders at $32 billion

• Diabetes at $28 billion

• Back problems at $23 billion

The average out of pocket expense for prescriptions is now over $250 a month. This is how much money the average person has to pay, with or without insurance, every month at the pharmacy. That comes to over $3000 a year spent on prescription drugs for the average person. I don’t want to be average; and I am definitely not average.

Recent history tells us that prescription prices are going up anywhere from 8% to 15% per year. What if we used 10%? So next year, the average will be $3300; two years from now, $3630. At this rate, in ten years, you will be spending over $6400 a year, $533 per month. In twenty years, at this rate, $17,000 a year. In thirty years, almost $48,000 a year, $4000 per month! This is average.
Add all this up and it comes to almost $550,000 spent on your prescription. This is IF the increase stays at 10%. Remember, the range has been from 8% to 15%. Changing the rate to 15% increases the amount spent to $1.47 million! WOW!

What if you could save just 10% of the cost of your prescriptions? Can you think of something else to do with roughly $100,000? I know I could.

Now is the time to be one of the few people who educate themselves about their medication. This will allow you to talk with your doctor about less expensive alternates. Using generics can save you 90%. Cutting your tablets will save you up to 50%. Using certain “hidden” rebated have the potential to save you hundreds per year, they are right there for the asking.

It is said that knowledge is power. In this case, lack of knowledge is expensive.

There is nothing particularly new about hip replacements. They have been going on for nearly half a century now. Should you be in the position of needing to consider one then you may find this article of significant help and interest.

We will discuss here what the reasons are behind having a hip replacement, what to expect at the time of the operation and how to get yourself right as fast as possible after the operation.

Sir John Charnley an eminent English surgeon is considered to be the pioneer of hip replacement surgery. His early work developing the basis of the artificial hips used today was being done in the 1960s.

Over the past decades advances in surgical techniques and materials have seen a diversification in types of hip replacement. There are however two basic types, namely cemented and uncemented. Thie importance of this will be covered further on.

So When Should You consider Having a Hip Replacement?

It really is all to do with whether a hip replacement would improve the quality of your life. You may well need to discuss matters with your physician or surgeon in order to ascertain whether having a hip replacement wil help you.

Why Do People Need Hip Replacements?

The most common reason behind needing a hip replacement is arthritis of the hip, primarily osteo-arthritis. Over time the joint wears and is less able to perform its role.

Signs and Symptoms of Hip Degeneration

Sufferers of hip degeneration often walk with a noticeable limp, commonly leaning to the painful side as they take weight on the hip in question. Movements at the joint, particularly backwards (extension), sideways (abduction) and the rotary movements become painful and limited. Pain is often described as a deep ache which can be felt in the buttock, hip, thigh and knee.

Surgery

There are many variations in the actual surgery and different surgeons prefer different techniques. The basis of the surgery is the removal of the degenerate head of the femur and the to replace it with the prosthetic implant together with a new socket or acetabulum in the pelvis. This creates a totally new articular structure commonly called A TOTAL HIP REPLACEMENT or THR.

What To Expect After Surgery

After your operation it is likely that you will have drains to remove any bleeding from the hip. You are also likely be on some form of analgesia and possibly blood thinning medication.

You will likely be encouraged by your physical therapist to do soime simple bed exercises to maintain good circulation and aid your recovery very soon after your operation.Within the first two days of surgery you will normally be helped by your therapist to get out of bed and walk.Initially this is likely to be small distances but this will increase gradually over time. You will probably require crutches or even a frame initially but as you get more confident over the coming days and weeks you will be able to discard these on the advise of your therapist.

If you have an uncemented hip you will be advised to probably use your crutches to reduce the amount of weight your hip has to take for the first six weeks. A cemented hip however is able to take your full body weight the first time you can get up so it will be up to you and your therapist how long you continue with walking aids for.

After surgery you will be encouraged to walk regularly and correctly. This has for a long time been considered the very best way of rehabilitating after a hip replacement. Specific exercise regimes are not usually advocated after a hip replacement.

It is important that you avoid certain positions and actions to avoid the possibility of a dislocation of your hip. Crossing your legs or excessive bending at the hip is not advised. Both of these positions especially if they are done together and particularly so with weight on the leg are considered to be the positions most likely to result in a dislocation.

It is also possible that your operated leg will feel as if it is longer than the other one. This is not necessarily the case and this sensation will commonly disappear over the coming months.

Patients are routinely advised to wear anti-embolism stockings for the first six weeks to reduce the possibility of an embolism. Although relatively rare they can be life threatening and feeling breathless or unwell may be a sign that you are suffering form such a condition. If this is the case medical attention should be sought as an emergency.

Other than this over the coming months you can look forward to gradually increasing your walking and functional activities, You can swim as soon as your scar has healed, walk, play golf, dance and be as active as you are able. Aggressive sports of a high intensity and of a contact or jarring nature are not recommended however.

Don’t forget it can be a good few months and even up to two years in cases especially if you have had an uncemented hip before you reach your true potential again. So patience is a must.

Medicines for impotence treatment

There are many impotence treatments available. Only a doctor can decide which impotence treatment is right for you. A doctor takes this decision based on the cause of your impotence. For instance, if your impotence is caused by excessive alcohol consumption, your doctor may ask you to stop drinking and as an aid might suggest some impotence treatment medicines. Some of the impotence treatment medicines are to be injected in the penis; some are to be taken orally.

Before a doctor suggests any impotence treatment medicines, it is very important to know if you have any medical problems or allergies. Therefore, a consultation is compulsory and impotence treatment medications are available only on prescription.

Moreover, as Levitra comes in lower dosage forms compared to other impotence treatment drugs, it is preferred over others.

I had never given a thought to ovarian cancer, and why would I? When it comes to gynecological cancers you hear about breast cancer all the time but you never hear much at all about ovarian cancer. I probably heard the words before at some point but until I was diagnosed with stage 2 ovarian cancer I was pretty ignorant of signs and symptoms and had no idea what to look for.

As it turned out, I had probably been having early warning signs for some time, possibly years, but I attributed them all as just regular old signs of getting a little older and entering that time in life where different things start to bother you or basically fall apart, kind of like a car that is reaching the end of your warranty. You know how that goes, your warranty runs out and you’re in the repair shop every other week.

So I had been having typical symptoms such as indigestion (never had that before), bloating, change in menstrual periods (heavier), and some pelvic pain right AFTER my periods. It was really a strange symptom I thought because it wasn’t right along with that time of the month but a few days after. But then it would go away and I would just figure, you know, getting older, etc.

But then I started having this annoying leg pain. It was sort of a radiating pain, so I figured it must be something to do with a nerve. Sciatica? I didn’t think so because it didn’t follow the usual M.O. for that type of nerve pain. Maybe a muscle strain? Fibroids? Yes, that was it, I decided, fibroids. I researched all the symptoms and everything added up! A huge fibroid must be pressing on my sciatic nerve and causing this intolerably aggravating leg pain. I made an appointment with my gynecologist and she agreed, yes, that must be it.

She sent me for an ultrasound where a large mass was seen, so I was immediately sent to a gynecologic oncologist. This is the best person for ANY type of GYN problems that are out of the norm because these doctors are very specialized, but it is very scary to be sitting in the oncologist’s office wondering if you may have cancer. As soon as I had my exam, my doctor scheduled surgery, and soon! My surgery was done 6 days later and the diagnoses was stage 2 ovarian cancer. I was then scheduled to begin chemotherapy. I did not want to hear this! All I could think of was losing my hair. In the grand scheme of things this is such a small thing, but believe me, when you are faced this it just seems so awful and dreadful.

But there was good news hidden inside all of the bad, and that was that I ONLY had stage 2 ovarian cancer and not a later stage which is most often diagnosed (due to the fact that no one realizes they are having any symptoms to be worried about).

I am happy to say I made it through it all and am now cancer free. I do believe though that if I had not had the leg pain I would NOT have gone to the doctor anytime soon, probably not for quite some time, as my symptoms were just so nonspecific and seemingly very benign, and my disease may have gone unnoticed and kept growing. So please do heed your body’s communication with you and if you have anything going on that seems really out of the ordinary, have it checked out by a doctor.
