For many people especially those in the western world, Africa is synonymous with diseases, wars, conflicts and famine. While Africa cannot agree to be synonymous with such claims, the continent cannot escape the fact that within the confines of its territory lies some of the most deadly diseases that have claimed more lives in history than war and famine put together. Every continent has diseases that are predominant in them and is the same for Africa. Most of the diseases in Africa are such that can be completely prevented by simple measures starting with proper education and personal hygiene. In most cases, these diseases in Africa affect women and children which form the most vulnerable demographic class. In this article, we explore the 10 most deadly diseases in Africa which has claimed the lives of many.
10. Syphilis
Syphilis is arguably one of the most killer diseases in Africa. The rash/boil causing plague is responsible for the infection of up to 12.2 million people in the world every year with a quarter of these cases occurring in Africa due to poor sexual health education. On the average, there 157,000 people lose their life to syphilis every year and according to World Health Organization, infection rates in major African cities of Zambia; an east African country and Cameroon; a country in the Central Africa were reported to be as high as 10% and 6% in both genders respectively and studies done in Madagascar suggested that infection rates may be up to 30%. The disease is transmitted through contact with body fluids, blood and blood products. It is also known to be transmitted from mother to child . Apart from Africa, Syphilis is also prevalent in Southeast Asia and south America.
9. Meningitis
Meningitis is one of the killer diseases in Africa and the world at large. One unpleasant thing about this disease is that it is capable of reducing the quality of life even after recovery. Meningitis is a disease that is mostly prevalent in the northern and central parts of Africa and is usually seasonal; occurring mostly between December and June during the dry season. More than 1 million people get infected by some form of meningitis every year resulting in 174,000 deaths every year. A typical infection involves the covering of the brain and spinal cord leading to swelling of these tissues. Meningitis has a high mortality rate such that even with early diagnosis and treatment, up to 5 to 10% of affected individuals still end up dead and a higher 10 to 20% of survivors suffer permanent brain damage and some form of hearing impairment or learning disability. The prevalence of Meningitis can easily be reduced with adequate vaccination and prophylaxis for those who may be exposed.

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the physical disturbance of the center of the retina called the macula.
Bulging Eyes
Bulging eyes, or proptosis, occurs when one or both eyes protrude from the eye sockets due to space taking lesions such as swelling of the muscles, fat, and tissue behind the eye.
Cataracts
Cataracts are a degenerative form of eye disease in which the lens gradually becomes opaque and vision mists over.
Cataracts in Babies
In rare cases, children develop cataracts in the first few years of their lives.
CMV Retinitis
CMV Retinitis is a serious infection of the retina that often affects people with AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) and that may also affect people with other immune disorders.
Color Blindness
Color blindness is not actually blindness in the true sense but rather is a color vision deficiency—people who are affected by it simply do not agree with most other people about color matching.
Crossed Eyes (Strabismus)
Crossed eyes (or strabismus) occur when a person's eyes are not able to align on the same point at the same time, and appear to be misaligned or pointed in different directions.
Diabetic Macular Edema
Diabetic Macular Edema, DME, is caused by fluid accumulation in the macula. Patients with DME typically experience blurred vision which can be severe.
Eye Floaters and Eye Flashes
Floaters are small specks or clouds that move across your field of vision—especially when you are looking at a bright, plain background, like a blank wall or a cloudless blue sky.
Glaucoma
Glaucoma occurs when a build-up of fluid in the eye creates pressure, damaging th optic nerve.
Keratoconus
When the cornea in the front of the eye, which normally is round, becomes thin and cone shaped.
Lazy Eye
Commonly known as lazy eye, amblyopia is poor vision in an eye that does not receive adequate use during early childhood.
Low Vision
Whenever ordinary glasses or contact lenses don't produce clear vision, you are considered to have low vision.
Ocular Hypertension
Ocular hypertension is an increase in pressure in the eye that is above the range considered normal.
Retinal Detachment
When the retina detaches, light sensitive membrane in the back of the eye becomes separated from the nerve tissue and blood supply underneath it.
Eyelid Twitching
Sometimes your eyelid simply twitches.
Uveitis
Uveitis is the inflammation of the inside the eye, specifically affecting one or more of the three parts of the eye that make up the uvea.
Many eye diseases have no early symptoms. They may be painless, and you may see no change in your vision until the disease has become quite advanced.
The single best way to protect your vision is through regular professional eye examinations. Of course, between examinations, if you notice a change in your vision – or you think your eye may be injured in any way – contact your eye care

Female Infertility: Causes, Treatment And Prevention
What causes female infertility?
The most common causes of female infertility include problems with ovulation , damage to fallopian tubes or uterus, or problems with the cervix. Age can contribute to infertility because as a woman ages, her fertility naturally tends to decrease.
Ovulation problems may be caused by one or more of the following:
A hormone imbalance
A tumor or cyst
Eating disorders such as anorexia or bulimia
Alcohol or drug use
Thyroid gland problems
Excess weight
Stress
Intense exercise that causes a significant loss of body fat
Extremely brief menstrual cycles
Damage to the fallopian tubes or uterus can be caused by one or more of the following:
Pelvic inflammatory disease
A previous infection
Polyps in the uterus
Endometriosis or fibroids
Scar tissue or adhesions
Chronic medical illness
A previous ectopic (tubal) pregnancy
A birth defect
DES syndrome (The medication DES, given to women to prevent miscarriage or premature birth can result in fertility problems for their children.)
Abnormal cervical mucus can also cause infertility. Abnormal cervical mucus can prevent the s***m from reaching the egg or make it more difficult for the s***m to pe*****te the egg.
How is female infertility diagnosed?
Potential female infertility is assessed as part of a thorough physical exam. The exam will include a medical history regarding potential factors that could contribute to infertility.
Healthcare providers may use one or more of the following tests/exams to evaluate fertility:
A urine or blood test to check for infections or a hormone problem, including thyroid function
Pelvic exam and breast exam
A sample of cervical mucus and tissue to determine if ovulation is occurring
Laparoscope inserted into the abdomen to view the condition of organs and to look for blockage, adhesions or scar tissue.
HSG, which is an x-ray used in conjunction with a colored liquid inserted into the fallopian tubes making it easier for the technician to check for blockage.
Hysteroscopy uses a tiny telescope with a fiber light to look for uterine abnormalities.
Ultrasound to look at the uterus and ovaries. May be done va**nally or abdominally.
Sonohystogram combines an ultrasound and saline injected into the uterus to look for abnormalities or problems.
Tracking your ovulation through fertility awareness will also help your healthcare provider assess your fertility status .
How is female infertility treated?
Female infertility is most often treated by one or more of the following methods:
Taking hormones to address a hormone imbalance, endometriosis, or a short menstrual cycle
Taking medications to stimulate ovulation
Using supplements to enhance fertility – shop supplements
Taking antibiotics to remove an infection
Having minor surgery to remove blockage or scar tissues from the fallopian tubes, uterus, or pelvic area.
Can female infertility be prevented?
There is usually nothing that can be done to prevent female infertility caused by genetic problems or illness.
However, there are several things that women can do to decrease the possibility of infertility:
Take steps to prevent sexually transmitted diseases
Avoid illicit drugs
Avoid heavy or frequent alcohol use
Adopt good personal hygiene and health practices
Have annual check ups with your GYN once you are sexually active
When should I contact my healthcare provider?
It is important to contact your healthcare provider if you experience any of the following symptoms:
Abnormal bleeding
Abdominal pain
Fever
Unusual discharge
Pain or discomfort during in*******se
Soreness or itching in the va**nal area
Some couples want to explore more traditional or over the counter efforts before exploring infertility procedures. If you are trying to get pregnant and looking for resources to support your efforts, we invite you to check out the fertility product and resource guide provided by our corporate sponsor.

WHERE ARE FIBROIDS IN MY UTERUS?
The uterus is composed of the cervix – the lower portion – and the fundus – the upper portion. The uterus is attached to the va**na through supporting ligaments, which are strong bands of tissue. These are the cardinal and uterosacral ligaments. These ligaments are attached to the va**na, not the cervix.
The cervix is the opening of the womb, and functions to allow delivery of the baby. During delivery, the cervix “dilates” and allows the baby to be delivered through the va**na. The cervix has no other role. The cervix does not have a “support” function, and does NOT support the uterus, bladder, or re**um and prevent them from falling out of the va**na. This is because the cervix does not directly attach to the supporting ligaments of the va**na, the cardinal and uterosacral ligaments. These ligaments are attached to the va**na. The tubes and ovaries are attached to the uterus.
The blood supply to the uterus is through the uterine arteries, the ovarian arteries, and the cervical and va**nal arteries. The “serosa” is the outer lining of the uterus, while the “endometrium” is the lining of the cavity of the uterus. The endometrium is also called the submucosal lining. The muscle of the uterus, or the
