What is Post Micturition Dribble?
Post micturition dribble (PMD), also known as ‘after-dribble’ refers to involuntary urine leakage in men and women, experienced after urination. Unlike terminal dribble, which occurs during voiding itself, PMD urinary incontinence typically happens after leaving the toilet. While this issue can also affect women, it is prevalent for around 12% of men and just 8.5% of women, and has been found to worsen with male age. Involuntarily leaking urine after urination largely occurs as a result of urine that remains in the urethra, and tends to persist despite gently shaking or waiting immediately after urination.

Post micturition dribble causes and risk factors
PMD typically correlates with either a reduced strength or increased tone of the pelvic floor muscles around the urethra. Symptoms will most often include obvious signs including male incontinence itself, as well as feelings of needing to strain while urinating, or the desire to urinate more frequently. Factors especially discovered to pose a high risk of PMD in many cases include –

Obesity
Neurological damage
Persistent heavy lifting
Surgical complications
Age
Post micturition dribble diagnosis
PMD and male incontinence, in general, are far more prevalent than many of us realise, and diagnosis is fast, efficient, and certainly nothing to be embarrassed by. Most commonly, PMD diagnosis will take the form of two primary strategies, which are –

Physical examination that includes external perennial assessment and/or internal re**al examination to determine the efficiency of pelvic floor muscles.
Ultrasound assessment to ensure the bladder is emptying completely and that residual volume is not the problem.
Post micturition dribble treatment
Treatment typically centres around exercises designed to improve the function of the pelvic floor. While it is recommended to wear a continence pad/shield to avoid leakage on clothes etc. before benefits can be seen, these exercises should enable you to eliminate or reduce the severity of PMD. In-clinic options especially revolve around –

Pelvic floor muscle release/training
Biofeedback transperineal ultrasound to correct pelvic floor contraction
Bulbourethral massage to efficiently empty urine from the urethra.
Further to this, male incontinence home remedies should be implemented daily to improve your pelvic floor, including exercises to complete during and immediately after urination. Your physiotherapist may also advise some basic changes to current toilet habits, including –

Waiting a little longer before leaving after urination
Practising exercises immediately after every urination
Applying gentle pressure to encourage urine forward after urination.

OBSTETRIC FISTULA..
Each year between 50 000 to 100 000 women worldwide are affected by obstetric fistula, an abnormal opening between a woman’s ge***al tract and her urinary tract or re**um. The development of obstetric fistula is directly linked to one of the major causes of maternal mortality: obstructed labour.

Women who experience obstetric fistula suffer constant incontinence, shame, social segregation and health problems. It is estimated that more than 2 million young women live with untreated obstetric fistula in Asia and sub-Saharan Africa.

Obstetric fistula is preventable; it can largely be avoided by:

delaying the age of first pregnancy;the cessation of harmful traditional practices; andtimely access to obstetric care.

Preventing and managing obstetric fistula contribute to the Sustainable Development Goal 3 of improving maternal health.

As we mark the world arthritis month, it is encouraged that any joint or joint related discomfort/pain be checked.
Arthritis is the swelling and tenderness of one or more joints. The main symptoms of arthritis are joint pain and stiffness, which typically worsen with age. The most common types of arthritis are osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.

Osteoarthritis causes cartilage — the hard, slippery tissue that covers the ends of bones where they form a joint — to break down. Rheumatoid arthritis is a disease in which the immune system attacks the joints, beginning with the lining of joints.

We wish our Muslim brothers and sisters happy Eid al-fitr.

Benefits of Prenatal Care
Going to regular appointments means your healthcare provider can spot any problems early, provide treatment and possibly prevent other issues. Here are some ways it can help you and your baby.

1. Learn more about your pregnancy and develop a plan
Your prenatal visit doesn't just confirm your pregnancy, it offers you the chance to discuss different procedures and potential scenarios, and address any questions and concerns with a doctor through your pregnancy. This includes learning and educating5 yourself about labour, delivery and postpartum birth injuries, so that you can make informed decisions for you and your family and react appropriately when a new situation arrives.

2. Reduce the risk of complications and defects
Regular screenings, for problems like gestational diabetes, can help prevent complications by detecting it early and providing the right treatment4. Screening for conge***al abnormalities is at 15-19 weeks.

3. Offer appropriate immunisation
Vaccines help protect both you and your baby from easily preventable diseases. During pregnancy, a mother's white blood cells act as the first line of defense for their babies. Getting the right vaccines (e.g. flu shot) allows mothers to pass on the kinds of antibodies their baby needs to fight off infections while in the womb.

4. Get accurate nutritional advice
Your diet will need to go through changes to accommodate for the nutritional needs of your baby. Your doctor will educate you on the recommended dietary intake for the next nine months, including how much to eat, what you should and should not eat.

Nutrition is vital for the proper development of your baby, and we recommend prenatal visits to check on your blood to ensure you're getting an adequate intake or you might be at risk to develop iron-deficient anaemia.

5. Keep track of development
Your child's development inside the womb is a good indicator of their health. During prenatal appointments, your doctor may measure your child to see how your baby is growing.

Hello, Kehancha Mother and child invites you for free cervical cancer screening which takes place daily,tell a friend,mother, sister, wife and even a grandmother for this special opportunity. Thank you

Get to know your cervical cancer status.

We shall be conducting a free cervical cancer screening as from 17th January 2022 to 31st January 2022.

A well-proven way to prevent cervical cancer is to have screening tests. Screening is having tests to find conditions that may lead to cancers and can find pre-cancers before they can turn into invasive cancer. The Pap test (or Pap smear) and the human papillomavirus (HPV) test are specific tests used during screening for cervical cancer. These tests are done the same way. A health professional uses a special tool to gently scrape or brush the cervix to remove cells for testing. If a pre-cancer is found it can be treated, keeping it from turning into a cervical cancer.

Happy new year

Happy and prosperous 2022.

Immunization is one of the most impactful and cost-effective public health interventions available, averting over 4 million deaths every year. In addition to offering protection from preventable diseases, immunization also brings children and families into contact with health systems, providing an avenue for the delivery of other basic health services and laying the foundation for primary health care. As such, ensuring universal access to vaccines is a critical entry point for universal health coverage (UHC).

In addition to its direct impact on the health of populations, immunization brings added value by reducing the burden of disease on individuals, families and communities, including through savings on medical expenses, as well as productivity and educational gains.

How To Perform a Breast Self-Exam
An important step to early detection is to perform a regular breast self-exam. A breast self-examination, or BSE, should be done monthly, around the same time, typically right after your menstrual cycle has ended. If you have been through menopause, choose the same date every month. There are two steps to a BSE, visual inspection and palpation.

Step 1- Visual inspection
Position yourself in front of the mirror with hands-on-hips, and take this time to look and pay special attention to skin changes and ni**le changes. Some skin changes to look for are redness, swelling, and puckering. Ni**le changes to look for are indentation, scaling, and discharge. Then follow these same steps, but with your hands over your head, instead of on your hips and check again for any change in appearance or contour.

Step 2 - Palpation
There are three common methods, line, circle, and wedge. Position yourself in an upright and reclining position, upon touch, the breast should feel soft and smooth, similar to an extra firm pillow. Remember to check underarm and upper chest areas.

Line Method - Use the soft pad of your 3 middle fingers, move in a vertical line starting at the underarm area (repeat up and down motion)
Circle Method - Move the three middle fingers in a circular motion starting at the outer edge and work your way in towards the ni**le.
Wedge - With your three middle fingers, start at the outer edge and move in towards the wedge sections of the breast.
If you notice changes or discover a lump or knot like a small hard pebble - notify your doctor

Please Note: A BSE (breast self-exam) should be used in conjunction with clinical breast exams by a doctor and mammography, according to your doctor’s recommendation.
