UTERINE ADHESION

This is one of the reasons women have difficulty in getting pregnant though not common, but when it happens it can be of a serious concern❗

It is also known as ASHERMAN’S SYNDROME [AS], UTERINE SYNECHIAE [US], OR UTERINE ADHESIONS [UA].

It is usually an acquired problem. It occurs when the inside layers of the womb are glued together❗

IT CAN CAUSE

✔️Total cessation in menstruation flow or a reduction in the flow❗
A woman that normally have menstruation, just stop seeing her me**es outrightly or the flow decrease significantly❗

✔️Problem with getting pregnant. Since the innermost layer of the womb is glued together, getting pregnant is almost impossible❗

✔️Recurrent miscarriages if pregnancy occurs, it will get aborted because there is no space for the growth of the baby❗

✔️Severe menstrual cramps

CAUSES

👍D and C: This is the commonest cause, as this occurs due to over scrapping of the innermost layer of the womb. This leads to gluing together of the inside of the womb❗

👍Following surgeries like CS , Myomectomy etc❗

👍Infections: infections affecting the inside of the womb leading to pus formation❗

👍Others like Tuberculosis, Schistosomiasis etc❗

DIAGNOSIS

Diagnosed by HSG [Hysterosalpingography] or Hysteroscopy [Direct viewing of the inside of the womb]

Surgery: This is the relieving of the adhesion gluing the inner most parts of the womb together

S*X AND LO******NG

Good morning all, today I would love to address the issue of s*x and love making, it has become an ever increasing issue in the lives of couples and has been contributing immensely to many marital issues❗

Love making is a beautiful thing, you make love not just with someone you love, but with someone you’re in love with . During love making there are plenty of communications. These communications help you know and understand your partner’s s*xual needs, you will never be able to satisfy them if there's no good communication ❗
How often do you ask him or her how best they enjoy it during s*x❓

Do you even know what part of their body triggers them the most❓ How would you know if you don’t ask❓
The major challenge in most relationships and marriages is LACK OF COMMUNICATION. How on earth 🌍 would you be able to build and nurture the marriage of your dreams if you don’t communicate with each other❓ Ok I think I know the reason for that commmunication gap....

It’s because most couples are not friends, so there’s really nothing to talk and play about. Most couples can’t even remember when last they rolled on the bed, on the floor, throwing pillows, giggling, laughing, playing and making romantic nests with each other❗

That’s fun. That’s friendship. These are the things that would make you miss each other whenever you are not together. S*x or lo******ng is not just to satisfy an urge, it’s an opportunity for you guys to explore and intimately bond with each other❗

When this intimacy occurs, you would love each other’s body, you would love the smell of your bodies and even the breath of your nostrils. You would know when your partner needs your touches and they would know when you need theirs and each of you would always want to respond to these desires❗ It’s very important to respond... sincerely, s*x is a beautiful thing ❗

If your s*x life with your partner is not going on fine , it’s not too late. You can begin to setup the communication platform. Take the initiative, ask him or her what you guys are not doing right . Ask him or her what it is you’re not doing right during s*x and learn how you can do it better. I’m sure he or she would also want to know what they are not doing right from you❗

Lack of communication is really terrible. Because your spouse might not even be able to help you handle some personal issues you might have. Such as va**nal odour, body or mouth 👄 odour, quick ej*******on or weak er****on, loose va**na, etc, if you have any, because you guys do not have such a friendly relationship, he or she would just start avoiding intimate times with you. It’s only friends that watch out for each other❗

Go ahead, build that friendship with your spouse. If it’s now very difficult for you guys to do that, then maybe you have to see a relationship counselor.
Couples, we have Natural Solutions to spice up your s*x life. Are you still here 😳 Mbok Slide into my DM now now 😜🙆💖💝💖

Irregular Menstrual Period

Irregular period may cause infertility, a sign of Egg growth and rupture problem. Young age female, PCOS can cause irregular periods. Old age females, peri menopause and nearing menopause situation can cause it. Consult a fertility specialist whenever you face such issues to know and understand the reason better

CAN BLOCKED FALLOPIAN TUBES STOP PREGNANCY ❓

To answer this , it is important to first address the question

What are blocked Fallopian tubes? The Fallopian tubes are two thin tubes,one on each side of the uterus, which help lead the mature egg from the ovaries to the uterus. When an obstruction prevents the egg from traveling down the tube, the woman has a blocked Fallopian tube❗

It can occur on one or both sides. This is also known as tubal factor infertility, and is the cause of infertility in 60 percent of infertile women❗

HOW DO BLOCKED FALLOPIAN TUBES CAUSE INFERTILITY ❓

Each month, when ovulation occurs, an egg is released from one of the ovaries. The egg travels from the o***y , through tubes, and into the uterus. The s***m also need to swim their way from cervix, through the uterus ,and through the Fallopian tubes to get the egg. Fertilization usually takes place while the egg is traveling through the tube. If one or both Fallopian tubes are blocked, the egg cannot reach the uterus, and the s***m cannot reach the egg, preventing fertilization and pregnancy❗

It’s also possible for the tube not to be blocked totally, but only partially. This can increase the risk of a tubal pregnancy, or ectopic pregnancy❗

WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF BLOCKED FALLOPIAN TUBES ❓

Unlike anovulation, where irregular menstrual cycles may hint to a problem, blocked Fallopian tubes rarely cause symptoms ❗
A specific kind of blocked Fallopian tube, called hydrosalpinx May cause lower abdominal pain and unusual va**nal discharge, but not every women will have these symptoms❗

Hydrosalpinx is when a blockage causes the tube to dilate [increase in diameter] and fill with fluid. The fluid blocks the egg and s***m, preventing fertilization and pregnancy. However some of the causes of blocked Fallopian tubes can lead to other problems as well. For example Endometriosis and pelvic inflammatory disease PID may cause painful menstruation and painful s*xual in*******se. But these symptoms don’t necessarily point to blocked tubes. If you have one open tube,and are otherwise healthy, you may be able to get pregnant without too much help.
Your physician may give you fertility treatment to increase the chances of conception❗

If you are trying to conceive why not reach out for help today❗

Good morning amazing friends have a great day and a super successful week too 💖💝💖

MENSTRUAL CYCLE, OVULATION PERIOD - TO CONCEIVE QUICKLY

Most ladies don’t understand this, and we don’t listen to our body too, read and start listening to your body for sign and follow these steps:

👍MENSTRUAL PERIOD
The time blood flows out of your private area, when you use pad

👍MENSTRUAL CYCLE
Days it takes to see another blood in the month, if you last saw your period in August 11th and it started again on September 10th 2023, then you have 30days cycle [count from 11 August to September 10].
: It is erroneous to believe it’s 28days cycle, different women have different cycles ranging from 21-35days

👍OVULATION PERIOD
This is time to get pregnant 🤰 without stress , this is 2weeks after your period or 2weeks before the next period❗

Here’s a simple way to calculate your ovulation
PERIOD from the first day you see the blood of your period.
Pick up a calendar and count 15days including the first day the blood stain.
Mark the 15th day with a pen 🖊.
Mark 3days before the 15th day , and mark 3days after the 15th day.
You will notice you have 7days marked. These 7days are your ovulation/fertile days also known as unsafe period.
That’s if you have s*x on any of these days. Then you have 98% chances of being pregnant, do this every month diligently.

EVERY OTHER DAY IS YOUR SAFE PERIOD FOR EXAMPLE

If your period is 11th July 2023
15 days after the first day of the blood stain will be on 25th of this July too [2 weeks after]counting from 11th.
15th day is on the 25th July 2023
3days before the 15th day is 22,23,24.
3days after 25th July 2023 is 26,27,28.
22-28th July [7days] is when you are ovulating, it is your fertile period.
Don’t forget that the 7days, any s*xual contact in between ovulation period will form something that has ears, eye etc❗ 😁😁

If you follow the above directives for 3 months and you are not falling pregnant then it's time to DM me for a comprehensive gynaecological test to decipher what the problem(s) are and proffer solution ❗

We wish all our pregnant Moms a safe delivery and to All our Going To Conceive Moms YOU are next to testify ❗

Good morning amazing friends, enjoy your weekend 💖💝💖

What holds back most people❓

How do some achieve massive success and others allow life to happen to them❓

If you could overcome your fears, how would that affect what ventures you embark upon?

There’s no accomplishing without first doing. You have to be IN the game - not just a spectator. Who cares what others think - they’re not paying your bills or living your life.

In all truth and honesty, you’ll live with your perception of their thoughts a lot longer than they’ll even remember having them - for they are onto the next just as fast as they had them.

If you allow others to guide you in such negative ways you’ll be frozen. Forget what you feel or think others think about you - besides it’s none of your business. That’s their life. Live yours❗

ENDOMETRIAL HYPERPLASIA

Endometrial hyperplasia is a condition of the female reproductive system. The lining of the uterus (endometrium) becomes unusually thick because of having too many cells (hyperplasia). It's not cancer, but in certain women, it raises the risk of developing endometrial cancer, a type of uterine cancer❗

What Are the Symptoms of Endometrial Hyperplasia❓
👌Heavy menstrual bleeding.
👌Bleeding that happens after menopause.
👌Menstrual cycles that are shorter than 21 days.

How long before endometrial hyperplasia turns into cancer❓

In one study, hyperplasia without atypia progressed to endometrial carcinoma in fewer than 5% of women; in comparison, atypical hyperplasia progressed to endometrial carcinoma in one in eight women within 10 years, and in one in three women within 20 years.

What Are the Causes of Endometrial Hyperplasia❓
Endometrial hyperplasia is caused by too much estrogen and not enough progesterone. If there’s too little progesterone, your uterus isn’t triggered to shed its lining (menstruation). The lining continues to thicken due to estrogen. The cells in the lining may crowd together and become irregular.

Complications of Endometrial Hyperplasia

If left untreated, atypical endometrial hyperplasia can become cancerous. About 8% of women with simple atypical endometrial hyperplasia who don't get treatment develop cancer. Nearly 30% of those with untreated complex atypical endometrial hyperplasia develop cancer❗

If you have been diagnosed of endometrial hyperplasia do not hesitate to reach out for help today ❗

Good morning amazing friends 💝💝💖

DON’T BE LIKE THIS WOMAN‼️

Placenta Previa, Cord Prolapse, And Uterine Rupture In One Patient.

_________________________________________________

The 24 year old lay down on the delivery couch in the labour room, thrashing about in pain. She was looking dehydrated, worn out, and exhausted-- a pointer to the fact that she must have been in labor for quite some time.

This was her fourth pregnancy, I had gathered from the nurse that came to call me, but she has only one living child, as the other two had been stillbirths. That piece of information just raised the bar a notch higher, as it suggests "bad obstetric history." A a rule of the thumb, the probability of one having pregnancy and/or labor complications increases exponentially if one has had 2 or more of such in the past.

One would have thought that a woman who had lost two babies in labor before, would want to do everything necessary to make sure that subsequent pregnancies don't end in futility, starting from judicious attendance of antenatal appointments. But a look at the referral note clearly stated that she was UNBOOKED! There are things I can't wrap my mind around. This-- the fact that people willingly decide to play Candy Crush with their lives, even when the stakes are high--is one of them.


The reason for the referral had been Cord Prolapse-- a situation in which the umbilical cord, the babies lifeline, protrudes from the va**na while the baby is still inside. It is the baby's worst nightmare, and an absolute indication for emergency CS. This is because, if va**nal delivery is attempted, the head of the baby would compress the cord, cutting off blood flow from the mother to the baby, instantly killing the baby.

The cord doesn't just prolapse; there's ALWAYS a predisposing risk factor, and I was bent on finding it. One of the commonest causes is malpresentation-- that is when the baby is coming with any part of its body other than the head. However, in this case, he was coming with the head. Another common cause is the presence of mass in the pelvis. This would occupy so much space, making it difficult, or impossible, for the baby to pass through, but leaving enough space for the much smaller umbilical cord to herniate. While trying to explore this possibility, I got a history of recurrent va**nal bleeding throughout the second half of the pregnancy, making it more likely that the woman had Placenta Previa; that the placenta was that "pelvic mass." Usually, the placenta is meant to attach in the womb, above and behind the coming baby. But in this case, it attached lower down, blocking the outlet of the womb, making it impossible for the baby to pass through. I believe this must have been why the labor was unduely prolonged.

By this time, I was furious. All the while, I had tried to remain calm, thinking there were no complications throughout the pregnancy, and that was why they decided not to book for, and receive, antenatal care. But the fact that this woman had been bleeding intermittently throughout the second half of the pregnancy, and they still stayed put at home, was just the last straw. So, in anger, I sent for the husband; I wanted to know why he didn't make sure that the wife received antenatal care. The young man came in looking confused and shaken. He said that the wife has been collecting money for antenatal; and that what more, she never at any point told him she was having bleeds! As a matter of fact, he said he didn't know the wife was in labor-- that he had come back from a travel, around 4:00 pm that fateful day, to see his wife in labor, and her mother trying to take delivery. Alarmed, he had rushed his wife to a nearby maternity home, manned by a Birth Attendant, around 5:00 pm. By 6:00 pm, the cord had pr*****ed. And by 7:00 pm, they were in the hospital where I work. I was shocked when the wife, and her mother, didn't deny any of these, but instead coroborated his story.


Needless to say, the baby was already in distress [mildly though, as the heart rate was just 170 beats per minute]. Unfortunately, the maternity home they went to, without trying to figure out why labor was not progressing as expected, went ahead and gave an infusion of Oxytocin [the so called "hot drip"] blindly, and at a VERY RAPID rate! This further compounded the problem, leading to an explosive rupture of mebrane and subsequent cord prolapse, and fetal distress.

Having three clear indications for CS-- cord prolapse, fetal distress, and placenta previa, we booked her for emergency CS. While preparations were being made, the protruding umbilical cord was wrapped with a gauze soaked in normal saline, and pushed back into the va**na. The woman was made to adopt the chest-on-couch, bottom-up position [just like someone in a "doggy" position. See attached picture], in order to relieve the pressure on the cord. There was no need for manual displacement of the fetal head away from the cord, as the presenting part was still at station "minus 2."


In the theater, about 5 minutes before knife-on-skin, I did another examination to confirm the viability of the fetus. The fetal heart rate had come down to 162 beats per minute, presumably due to the intrauterine resuscitation with Normal saline. Also, the mother's vitals were okay. And she was not pale, neither was there abdominal tenderness. So, you can imagine the shock when we went inside and found the uterus ruptured, and the baby outside the womb, and in the peritoneal cavity. It is my belief that womb ruptured just after my last examination, which was approximately 5 to 10 minutes before we cut her open, as there was less than 50mls of blood in the peritoneal cavity. If not-- if it had happened a long time before then, that baby would have been dead! Lucky child! And lucky mother, too!

The baby came out asphyxiated, not breathing. But the heartbeat was there, even though discouragingly very slow [60 beats ler minute]. I left the lead surgeon, and went to resuscitate the baby. I made sure that we started bagging him-- providing him with artificial ventilation, within 2 minutes of delivery and severance of the cord; I didn't want to have a child with permanent brain damage on my hands, if he survived at the end of the day. We were alternating cardiac massage and artificial ventilation using an AMBU bag, according to standard protocol, while making sure that warmth was provided.

5 minutes: no show. 10 minutes: still no show. According to the books, if after 15 minutes of resuscitation the baby fails to achieve spontaneous respiration, the doctor is justified to throw in the towel, and call it. I had this in mind, and the plan was to stop trying after 15 minutes. By 12 minutes, the heart rate had jumped up to way above 120 beats, igniting hope. We stopped cardiac massage, and concentrated on just ventilation. At 16 minutes, he had started making feeble attempts at breathing. And by 20 minutes, dude was wailing on top of his voice, so loud that professional Nigerian wailer would have envied him. Lol!

The mother lost a lot of blood, but also survived. Today is 5 days post op, and mother and child are in PERFECT condition. They are yet to pay up to 1/5 of the bill shaa 😂 The hospital management is not happy, but I am; it's not everytime that you get to see a child survive uterine rupture, mbok.

___________________________________________

🔕 QUESTION

Do you appreciate how optimal antenatal care could have saved everyone all this drama and unnecessary heart attack?

Recurrent va**nal bleeding would have led the clinician to make a diagnosis of Antepartum Hemorrhage, and a scan would have shown it was Placenta Previa. In fact, even without that history, a routine scan would have still picked it up!

After that, depending on the type of the Previa, delivery would have been planned WAY BEFORE TIME! The cord wouldn't have pr*****ed, the baby wouldn't have been ditressed, and the womb sure wouldn't have ruptured!

This is a reminder for us all: take your antenatal care very seriously‼️

URINARY TRACT INFECTIONS UTI

Quick Notes on Urinary Frequency: Increase in Urination

👌 Urine contains water, uric acid, urea, and toxins and waste filtered from within the body.
👌 The kidneys play a key role in this process.
👌 Urine stays in the urinary bladder until it reaches a point of fullness and an urge to urinate.
👌 Urination is a complex process, involving various body systems.
👌 A range of changes can make the urinary system more active.
👌 Urinary frequency can be defined as needing to urinate more than 7 times in a period of 24 hours while drinking about 2 liters of fluid.
👌 Frequent urination means having an urge to pass urine more often than usual.
👌 It can disrupt one's normal routine, interrupt the sleep cycle, and it can be a sign of an underlying medical condition.
👌 Many people live with frequent urination, known medically as frequency.
👌 When one urinates more than 3 liters a day of urine, this is known as polyuria.
👌 Often, there is often a simple cause that can be put right through treatment.
👌 Sometimes, frequent urination can indicate a more serious condition.
👌 Most people urinate 6 or 7 times in 24 hours.
👌 Urinating more often than this may be referred to as frequency, but everyone is different.
👌 It is normally only a problem if it affects a person's quality of life.
👌 However, individuals differ, and most people only see a doctor when urination becomes so frequent that they feel uncomfortable.
👌 Children, too, have smaller urinary bladders, so it is normal for them to urinate more frequently.
👌 Frequency can often be treated with exercises, but if there is an underlying condition, such as diabetes, this will need attention.

Possible causes

👍 Lifestyle-based causes include drinking a lot of fluids, especially if they contain caffeine or alcohol.
👍 At night, this can interrupt the sleep cycle with urges to urinate. Frequent urination can also develop as a habit.
👍 However, it can be a sign of kidney or ureter problems, urinary bladder problems, or another medical condition, such as diabetes mellitus, diabetes insipidus, pregnancy, or prostate gland problems.

Other causes or related factors include:

👌 Anxiety
👌 Diuretics, that make you urinate fluid from your body
👌 Food and drinks that act as diuretics
👌 Stroke and other brain or nervous system conditions
👌 Urinary tract infection
👌 Tumor or mass in the pelvic area
👌 Interstitial cystitis, a type of inflammation of the bladder wall
👌 Overactive bladder (OAB) syndrome, which causes involuntary bladder contractions that lead one to feel a sudden urge to have to urinate
👌 Bladder cancer
👌 Bladder or kidney stones
👌 Urinary incontinence
👌 Urethral stricture
👌 Radiation of the pelvis, such as during cancer treatment
👌 A s*xually transmitted infection (STI), such as chlamydia

Symptoms

👍One of the main symptoms of polyuria is urinating frequently. If there are other symptoms, they may indicate another, possibly more serious condition.
👍Nocturia, for example, is the need to urinate at night, during the sleep cycle. This can be a symptom of diabetes insipidus or diabetes mellitus.
Other symptoms that may need further attention include:
👍 pain or discomfort while urinating
👍 urine that is bloody, cloudy, or of an unusual color
👍 gradual loss of bladder control, or urinary incontinence
👍 difficulty urinating despite the urge
👍 discharge from the va**na or p***s
👍 an increase in appetite or thirst
👍 fever or chills
👍 nausea or vomiting
👍 low back or side pain

If other symptoms are present, or if urinary frequency is affecting quality of life, it is a good idea to see a doctor❗

Frequent urination can indicate a kidney infection, for example. Untreated, this can permanently damage the kidneys. In addition, the bacteria that cause the infection can potentially enter the bloodstream, infecting other areas of the body❗

Treatment

Treatment will depend on the underlying cause.
If the consultation leads to a diagnosis of diabetes mellitus, treatment will aim to keep high blood sugar levels under control.
For a bacterial kidney infection, the typical course of treatment is antibiotic and painkiller therapy.

If the cause is an overactive bladder, a medication known as an anticholinergic may be used. These prevent abnormal involuntary detrusor muscle contractions from occurring in the wall of the bladder.
If needed, medication therapy will be prescribed and monitored by a physician.
Training in behavioral techniques may also help.

Bladder training and exercises

Other treatments address frequent urination rather than an underlying cause.

These include:

👌Kegel exercises: Regular daily exercises, often done around pregnancy, can strengthen the muscles of the pelvis and urethra and support the bladder. For best results, perform Kegel exercises 10 to 20 times per set, three times a day, for at least 4 to 8 weeks.

👌Biofeedback: Used alongside Kegel exercises, biofeedback therapy enables the patient to become more aware of how their body functions. This increased awareness can help the patient improve their control of their pelvic muscles.

👌Bladder training: This involves training the bladder to hold urine longer. Training usually lasts 2 to 3 months.
👌 Monitoring fluid intake: This may show that drinking a lot at certain times is the major cause.

Prevention

👌Eating a balanced diet and maintaining an active lifestyle can help moderate the output of urine.
This may mean limiting alcohol and caffeine intake and cutting out foods that can irritate the bladder or act as a diuretic, such as chocolate, spicy foods, and artificial sweeteners.
👌Eating high-fiber foods can also help reduce constipation. This may indirectly improve urine flow through the urethra, as a constipated re**um can put pressure on the urinary bladder, the urethra, or both.

Good morning amazing friends 💖💝💝

HOW WILL I KNOW WHEN LABOR HAS STARTED❓

This is a common worry for first-time mums, but once labour really gets going you'll definitely know❗

The early signs of labour are:
👌A show (the mucous plug at your cervix comes away and appears as a pinky-brown jelly-like blob or in pieces.)

👌You might feel pains that feel like strong period pains (these are the start of contractions)

👌You might have pain in your lower back that comes in waves.

👌You may find that your waters break, in which case you know that labour is, or soon will be, under way, or you might start by feeling contractions. These will be different from the practice Braxton Hicks contractions that you may already have had. They feel *stronger, deeper and more painful.* Look out, too, for waves of backache, as some women find that this is where they feel their contractions.

Once labour has started, your contractions will become *more regular and won't go away❗

When you are having a contraction every five minutes (and last 30-60 seconds), call your midwife, birth centre or hospital labour ward if you are giving birth there or go to the hospital as the case may be❗

If this is not your first baby, or you are likely to have a quick labour, your midwife may advise you to call earlier than this.
If you're still not sure whether you're in labour, phone the labour ward or your midwife. They are used to dealing with false alerts so don't worry🥰😘
