Our metabolism is thee term used to refer to our body's ability to perform tasks. In particular it is used to refer to tasks of a metabolic nature which involves burning fat and fuel to give us energy throughout the day. Thus those with a fast metabolism find that they have slim physiques and that they have lots of energy. Such people tend to be the ectomorphs or the mesomorphs among us. This is the opposite to anabolic processes, which are those that involve the body using proteins (amino acids) in order to build and repair parts of the body.
The ability to increase your metabolism then would mean you could reduce your bodyweight while eating as much or more, and that you could be more energetic as a result. While genetically we are born with a faster or slower metabolism naturally, the speed at which our metabolism operates can still vary within that area. When our metabolism is running more quickly then all our body's processes will be sped up and we will find that our heart rate is increased and the blood pumps around our body faster. This then means in turn that you can purposefully increase your metabolism and so burn fat. Here we'll look at some ways to do that.
Get hot: When we are hot our metabolism increases and our body works faster – presumably partly in order to cool us down. Going in a sauna then is a great way to increase you metabolism. Alternatively using a 'sauna suit' which is a sweat inducing foil suit during exercise can also help you to increase your metabolism and burn off fat.
Get cold: When you are cold this causes your metabolism to speed up as well as your heart rate to increase and your body to shake and chatter. All of this is in order to return your heart rate to normal and will burn fat and speed up your metabolism.
Get high: Not 'high' as a kite, but as in high up. Here the air is thin and you will find that you are forced to breath more quickly to get more oxygen which in turn speeds up the rate at which the blood goes round your body and you burn fat. Altitude training is working out or running while at high altitudes which benefits from both the thin air and the cold temperature to increase fitness.
Use stimulants: The other sort of getting high could potentially increase your metabolism too though, if achieved using a stimulant. Some steroid drugs for instance increase your metabolism, as do crack or ecstasy. Of course though it is not a good idea to consume these drugs which also have a range of highly unpleasant and often very dangerous side effects and can prove fatal. However other stimulants do not carry such dangers such as caffeine which can greatly increase your metabolism, and guarana which is found in a lot of energy supplements and has similar effects to caffeine (without some of the less pleasant ones such as shaking and headaches). Green tea has also been shown to be a great stimulant and can also help you to burn fat.
Eat energy foods: Energy foods will give your body the fuel it needs to go faster, thus sugars and carbs can result in your metabolism speeding up. If you are trying to increase your metabolism in order to lose weight however then of course this is fairly ineffective as the increased energy will only last until the extra food you have eaten has been burned off or stored as fat.
Eat often: Eating little and often is something that models are encouraged to do and it also has many other health benefits helping us to maintain a constant supply of energy, giving us less indigestion, and yes, speeding up our metabolism.
Stay active: Being active is the best way to increase you metabolism both in the long term and in the short term. Doing an intense workout then will mean that you increase your metabolism and burn off fat, but that you then have a generally faster 'resting' rate for both which will ensure you keep burning it off quickly. There are other ways you can stay active too, such as using the stairs instead of the lift and even just tapping your foot under the desk, all of which will keep your metabolism high.
Use your head: Thinking hard requires the same energy as exercise and if you keep challenging yourself mentally you will find it increases the rate of your entire body.
Stay awake: Wakefulness is considered a 'metabolic state' in that it causes us to burn fat and use up energy. By the same ticket being asleep is an anabolic state where we repair the damage done throughout the day – building muscle, causing us to grow (when we are younger at least) and helping to reinforce memories. While staying awake will not make your metabolism faster than normal then, but will keep it going faster for longer meaning you burn more fat. Obviously sleep has lots of other very crucial benefits so its important to ensure you get at least a minimal amount as long as you do not sleep excessively. At the same time you should be careful not sleep immediately after a large meal when you will want your metabolism to be high.

Do Angiotensin Receptor Blockers Cause Cancer?
By Christopher Jacoby
What are angiotensin receptor blockers? This question would come to any reader’s mind first while going through the title because of the reason that these drugs are really uncommon. Their implementation and usage is so particular that no one has really considered knowing of what their functions are and what outcomes they could promote into the human body as well. However, a few years back a research has shown that angiotensin receptor blockers that are used by tens of millions of patients can cause a deliberate increase in cancer of several kinds and forms. It could either be lung cancer, blood cancer or bone cancer.
Angiotensin receptor blockers have been used for the past decade in the medicinal field to reduce blood pressure and increased heart rate within a short time span. Commonly abbreviated as ARB, angiotensin receptor blockers work for the dilation of blood vessels readily by the action of a series of hormonal cascade. The series of reactions make sure that the lowered blood pressure is resolved normally. The first step in the reactions is the formation of rennin through kidneys when they determine the lower blood pressure in the blood stream. As a consequence, rennin stimulates the production of a chain of proteins known as angiotensin 1 which is then converted into angiotensin 2 by an enzyme present in the lungs. This angiotensin 2 is released in a sufficient amount so the blood pressure could be brought back to a normal count. During all this process, the angiotensin amount remains fluctuating.
This fluctuation in angiotensin however is disrupted by a few of the drugs that are used in the treatment of hypertension, heart failure and diabetes-related kidney damage. The constriction of blood vessels result in the reduction of blood pressure that imbalances everything. This blood supply that is imbalanced causes the lymph nodes of the body to restrict their secretions; the lymphatic drainage being improper results in tumor formation in several regions of the body. This virtue is specific for the tissues of breast, lungs and blood capillaries. Renal carcinoma and colon carcinoma is most common form of the diseases that develop from such conditions as well because the angiotensin receptor blockers are directly related to our digestive and excretory systems.
A relation between angiotensin receptor blockers and cancer was identified when the outcomes of the Candesartan in Heart Failure Assessment of Reduction in Mortality and Morbidity (CHARM) study came out in the year 2003. Since then, several publications have indicated the fact that we need to refrain from such therapeutic drugs.
Angiotensin receptor blockers however have different effects on different people. Most of the time, they have negative effects on the patients that are allergic to the reagents. Cancer is the severe form of the side effects these blockers can have on the body cells; apart from cancer, these can also cause coughing, low blood pressure, headache, diarrhea, rashes, nasal congestion, leg pain and some other concerns as well.

3 Ways to Quit Tobacco Smoking Naturally By Christopher Jacoby
Where to begin with the ways to quit tobacco smoking naturally?
The question sounds like a dumb one, I obviously know it. However, due to the very much alike obstacles that each tobacco addict faces, the 3 ways are divided into different categories based on the strength of the smokers’ practice. The first method is recommended for adult smokers or the ones who have been smoking heavier than others to make good use of mental and spiritual support. In the second method that is for average smokers, includes the use of products that would substitute nicotine for the habit of smoking to end. Moreover, the last and third step, you’ll need a quit smoking products that are natural for the severity of the grasp of nicotine in the body, relieving the powerful symptoms of withdrawal.
1. Starting for a Heavy Smoker to Begin With the Process of Quitting
Heavy smokers that smoke for two packs a day and more will require every means to avoid the feeling of wanting to smoke. This makes a mental or spiritual highly recommended for the preparation for the process of one self. The support that is required maybe by a hypnotist, psychiatrist, motivational mp3/tapes/cds or it can be your best friend or anyone that is willingly to be by your side when you needed help. Finding a support is not important in this matter, what’s important is to identify what’s inspiring you when your motivation starts to drag you down. You must find someone that would inspire you to stop the habit to be able to move to the next stage.
2. Breaking My Cigarette Habit
The second method to quit tobacco smoking naturally is advisable for average to heavy smoker focusing on the removal of the aspect of cigarette smoking habit by the use of nicotine substitute. This can easily be distinguished with the nicotine addiction alone as will be shown in the last method.
In the second method, you as a smoker get to acquire two goals. The first one will be stopping the purchasing habit of tobacco as well as burning and inhaling of its smoke. The second one will be making you circulatory system live and develop without the intake of tar in the blood and lungs. The purpose of achieving these two methods is to train the mind and body to resist inhaling smoke for the immediate cleansing of the body from numerous chemicals that smoking tobacco cause.
3. Getting Rid of Nicotine Completely
Heavy smokers must complete the step 1 and 2 before reaching this final step while the average smoker must at least finish the second method and the light smokers that smokes less than a pack a day may start off with this final step.
When you get to this step, you are ready to cut off nicotine completely from you. Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) is found very effective for the suppression of symptoms during the withdrawal period. You will find different forms of this such as patches, gums, spray and lozenges that are purchasable in the market today. With NRT there’s a chance you can stop and quit smoking for good.

Things You Need to Know About Viagra
There are many cases when scientists tried to create medicines for treating different diseases and ended up creating cures for other diseases. One example in this matter is Viagra. Viagra was originally designed to treat angina.
During the studies it was shown the fat that Viagra had no results in treating sufferers from angina. However, other benefic reactions were noted. Viagra had great effect in treating erectile dysfunction. The creators of Viagra, Pfizer decided that it is best for them to release Viagra as an erectile dysfunction medicine.
As it was the first medicine designed to fight against impotence, a huge amount of publicity was made around Viagra. Pfizer had not expected the big sales and the great publicity that Viagra got after launching. Even if some of the puritans did not accept Viagra as an option to treat impotence it was slowly accepted in societies as its effects were clear.
Viagra was seen as the blue pill. Everybody referred to it that way. The general belief was that no man under 70 should use Viagra as it was a proof of impotence otherwise. This conception was slowly changed as more and more people were happy with the results of using it at under 70 ages.
These days you should not feel ashamed if buying Viagra as it is something normal. This is because you can use Viagra in more ways than it was originally created for. Women and men both use Viagra in order to have a greater sexual experience.
Nowadays, there are other medicines in the field of sexual stimulants. Therefore, there are many who prefer other stimulants because of the bad publicity surrounding Viagra these days. The truth is that the number of people using Viagra is very high. This way the side effects experienced by some people are only a few in comparison with the total number of users.
One of the main confusions created related to Viagra's bad publicity is the number of people who manifested side effects. Another mislead is related to the people who experienced these side effects. Viagra is not recommended to several categories of people so when looking for the total number who suffered side effects one should exclude the ones who deliberately or without intention do not read the recommendations.
Many times the misuse is taken into account when reporting the number of people who experienced side effects after using Viagra. Misuse is the second confusion created about Viagra's problems and side effects.

Molecular biology and biotechnology building block of medicine of the future
Molecular Biology and Biotechnology has been described as the backbone of evidence-based medicine.
Speaking at a workshop by the Division of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology, Chairman, Board of Directors, Nigerian Institute of Medical Research (NIMR), Prof. Ed B. Attah said that molecular biology and biotechnology is the building block of medicine of the future.
This according to him is because it seeks to understand biological processes at the molecular level. And by so doing, disease can be attacked at source by altering the chemical reactions at the molecular level.
Director General, NIMR, Prof. Innocent Ujah stated that molecular biology also enables diagnosis and evaluation of the prognosis or remission of other diseases such as down syndrome, Tuberculosis, malaria, helicobacter, pylori etc.
In addition he said, some blood borne pathologenes which cannot be really and reliably identified by traditional culture techniques could also be diagnosed using molecular biology technique.
Head of Division of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology, NIMR, Dr Sarah Smith stated that the theme of the workshop is focused on the fact that molecular biology also enables disease diagnosis and evaluates prognosis or remission of diseases. Such diseases she said include cancer.
In his speech, Chairman, NIMR Board, Prof. Ed. B. Attah, said, “Molecular Biology and Biotechnology is the building block of medicine of the future because it seeks to understand biological processes at the molecular level. By so doing diseases can be attacked at source by altering the chemical reactions at the molecular level.
“Molecular Biology is being applied to resolve paternity disputes by DNA analysis, prenatal diagnosis of sickle cell disease by analyzing blood of the for his in harvested chorionic villi, identifying the causative agent in peptic ulcer in Helicobacter pylori etc,” he said.
Contributing, Director-General, NIMR, Prof. Innocent Ujah stated, “the theme of this year’s workshop- “Molecular biology: the backbone of evidence based medicine” is captivating and very imperative based on the current trend of evidence-based medicine all over the world. Molecular biology encompasses many areas of scientific and medical knowledge and research. It is at molecular level that researchers may study the genetic components associated with a cancer such as cancer of the breast, cervix and lungs.
“Through such research findings, it is possible to introduce new genes that could fight cancer, or create new cells to replace the ones that are known to cause cancer. It therefore means the molecular biologist may simultaneously, be finding both the cause and cure of cancer. If and when such research outcomes can overcome such dreaded pathology, then the world will have a sigh of relief following such feat in human technology.
Molecular biology also enables diagnosis and evaluation of the prognosis or remission of other diseases such as, down syndrome, TB, malaria, helicobacter pylori etc. additionally, some blood borne pathogens which cannot be readily and reliably identified by traditional culture techniques could also be diagnosed using molecular biology techniques,” he said.
In her speech, Head of Division of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology, NIMR, Dr Sarah Smith, stated, “The theme of the workshop is focussed on the fact that Molecular biology enables disease diagnosis, evaluates prognosis or remission of diseases. Such diseases include cancer. The techniques used offer faster and efficient methods of diagnosis and in the long run could be cheaper. Molecular biology also enables diagnosis of microorganisms that are hitherto difficult to culture (slow growing or fastidiuos) or unculturable e.g. Helicobacter pylori, M. Tuberculosis and early diagnosis of genetically inherited diseases.
“It might interest you to note that as a fall out of last year’s workshop we have one of the participants’ husband obtaining the prestigious Alexander von Humboldt fellowship (Germany) of which I am a recipient and the couple are right now in Germany, with the husband doing a one year post doc. In addition, about 32 BSc, 6 MSc and 6 PhD students been to our lab for various projects since the workshop. Last year, of the 48 participants 22 comprised lecturers, 10 medical doctors and the remaining pre and post graduate students.
“The participants this year include two Profs., six doctors (from Research Institute), eight lecturers, three Med Lab Scientists, 16 PhD and lecturer Graduate Assistants. All participants have represented the 6 geo-political zones in the country.
“Our lecturers and practical sessions are aimed at broadening our knowledge, improving our research skills and equipping our participants with modern day technology in evidenced-based medicine using molecular biology which I believe will contribute to good healthcare delivery and reduce the challenges of Millennium Development Goals (MDG) for the people of Nigeria,” she said.

Magnetic therapy prolongs human life to 400 years
Magnetic therapy has been known as the best mode of treatment. It is 100 percent drugless, 100 percent natural and 100 percent safe. It is about magnet that has North-pole and South-pole. Everything on earth is directly or indirectly influenced by magnet because the earth itself is a huge magnet. Human life is also a dependant of magnet. Every human cell can be viewed as a small magnetic unit. This property is present in all organs. Each organ produces its own magnetic field. Any disturbance in this magnetic field indicates a disorder which can lead to many illnesses. Magnetic therapy restores the natural vibration frequency of organs and re-establishes coordination between them. Thus, disease disappears and health is regained.
This disturbance in the magnetic field can either be external factors, like bacteria, virus infections, cold wind, etc or internal factors like faulty diet, irregular life, addictions, mental tension and an indiscriminate’ use of medicines. So, a person desirous of maintaining or regaining health should understand these factors and keep away from them.
The efficacy of this therapy has been proved in so many ailments especially those ailments that failed to be treated with drugs. It is known as wonder therapy by Japanese, miracle therapy by Russians and therapy of life by Americans. The principle of this therapy is just magnetism.
The North-pole magnet provides natural antibiotics and stops the growth of bacteria and multiplication of viruses in our system while the South-pole provides natural analgesic and then take care of pains, weakness and swelling of the body. Since this therapy can provide both natural antibiotics and analgesic, why not embrace it instead of chemicalized drugs that can lead to premature death?
This is the most welcome and appreciated method of treatment by the medical experts and magnetotherapist all over the world because of its efficacy in the treatment of over hundred infections. It is a multipurpose therapy because it is a single therapy that can take care of numerous ailments at the same time. Its efficacy in the treatment of High Blood Pressure, Diabetes, Asthma, Cough, Ulcer, Cancer, Anuria (no-urination), Eyes Problems, Urinary Tract infections, Liver, Kidney and Bladder infections, Kidney Stones (dissolve), Gall Stones (dissolve), etc has been proved.
If you have any of these ailments, kindly embrace magnetic therapy now and be free. It is a free gift of nature. Embracing magnetic therapy saves one the agony of drug abuse, drug addiction, side effects and after effect of drugs. In such, there is no drug without side effect. People on life time drugs face early grave as a result of drugs and not the ailments. The developed countries in the world like Japan, Russia, America and Europe have shifted from drugs to drugless therapies after discovering the adverse effects of drugs on human beings. They also discovered that drugs kill faster than the ailments.
In Russia today, they use magnetized water in the treatment of so many ailments. Magnetic therapy has also offered a miraculous hope for mankind. This is on prolongation of human life .. It has been tested and proved that there is hope that magnetic treatment will enable scientists to prolong human life to 400 years. DR. KOMAROV performed experiments with magnet on housefly. He succeeded in almost doubling the life of the common housefly by feeding it with magnetized sugar. DR. HAROLD ALEXANDER of America has also concluded that a special exposure of rats to a magnetic field increased their life span by about 45 percent. The same experiment was conducted on cow and the same result was achieved.
Because of all these marvelous results, a national committee on prolongation of human life headed by DR. KOMAROV was set. Then an experiment with magnets on human volunteers was performed. The metabolic and biochemical changes occurring in the human body following an exposure to the magnetic field are being assessed. Then the committee is hopeful that magnetic treatment will enable scientist to prolong human life to 400 years.
This therapy is for all and sundry. If you have tried other therapies and failed, kindly try magnetic therapy now. It is the latest hope for mankind. “where drugs fail, magnetic therapy prevails”. It serves like faithful servant for years and help to preserve health. It is both preventive and curative.
These benefits can be tapped through magnetic flask, magnetic car seat, magnetic pillow, magnetic mattress and magnetic insoles.

Fibroid: The new pandemic for 21st Century women …Pregnancy and fibroid can grow together –Gynaecologist
Fibroid has turned out to be the 21st Century’s women’s pandemic. Consultant, Obstetrician and Gynaecologist, Dr Gabriel Akilo, says that fibroid can grow alongside a baby in the womb and does not affect the size of the baby.
In this interview, he spoke on all common questions asked about fibroids.
Excerpts:
What is fibroid?
Fibroid is a common condition in women. It is an abnormal tumour or swelling of the womb. It is either inside the women which means it is attached to the inner wall of the womb or the body of the wall of the womb itself or outside it. In short, Fibroid can grow in or outside the womb.
Fibroid is made up of a meat-like material and in the form of a ball, peanut, tangerine, lemon, orange or cricket ball which grows, either to the size of the head of a baby or bigger.
When fibroid is cut into two, right in the middle, it has a whirled formation. In other words, it is in the form of a rope which has been tied round and round. It has the impression of an onion.
About 15 percent to 20 percent of the world’s women have fibroid of various sizes. Some fibroids are not visible while others are big. Strangely, some small ones cause much problem to the women while others which are big cause no problem and vice versa.
Some women have fibroid but they are not aware of it because it does not cause them any problem and they have no symptoms too. Some have big fibroid but it does not prevent them from being pregnant but others have fibroid that gives them infertility problem.
However, there are other tumours inside the womb that are not fibroid because they do not have the characteristics mentioned above.
Can you confirm that some women with fibroid can be pregnant?
Sure. The pregnancy and fibroid can grow together.
If fibroid co-grows with pregnancy, what happens during delivery?
As soon as the baby comes out, the womb automatically shrinks. But if the fibroid is in the lower part of the womb it complicates delivery. It causes obstructed labour as the baby is prevented from coming out because the fibroid acts like a mechanical obstruction. The woman will require caesarian section operation to deliver the baby.
In some cases, if fibroid co-exists with pregnancy then we have what is called post partum haermorrage. This means that the fibroid may not allow the womb to contract to make the foetus receive the required blood transfusion from the mother.
What other complications can fibroid cause in pregnancy?
In early pregnancy, fibroid can cause pain like ovariancyst. This is one swelling not in the womb but that of the ovary. (egg-box).
In other cases, fibroid can begin with severe pains, degeneration. The pain can be so excrutiating that the patient may think she has ectopic pregnancy or twisted ovarian - cyst which may require surgical operation.
Later in pregnancy it can also cause excessive bleeding and also threatened abortion but at any rate it does not allow pregnancy to thrive. Fibroid can cause pain again in the middle of pregnancy and destroy the foetus before degeneration.
What are the chances of safe delivery in the traditional set up when the baby co-existed with fibroid?
As I said earlier, when fibroid acts as a mechanical obstruction during delivery a caesarian section operation would have to be perform, this happens luckily at the orthodox medical centre. But, I am afraid in the traditional health set up about 90 percent of these cases might result to loss of life.
Is fibroid the cause of some women having abdominal pains during their menstrual period?
This is one of the presumptuous symptoms. Fibroid causes pains especially during menstrual periods. In some cases the pain is centred in the lower abdomen and even in the back (back-ache). Then, also, the usual swelling of the stomach when the fibroid gets bigger and bigger.
When fibroid co-exists with pregnancy, does it affect the size of the baby?
It does not affect the size of the baby in any way. While the fibroid grows the baby also grows at the same time. You can see that some women can bring forth triplet, quadruplets or more. A woman has sufficient blood to service all of them together.
What is the cause of fibroid?
The main cause is not yet known but doctors have noticed that it is commonest in women who wish to have their first babies late especially from 30, 35 years or more.
Nature hates vacuum, so I believe when the womb is left empty for sometime it turns to produce something due to accumulation of hormones. Fibroid is not common with women in the age bracket of 20 - 25 years.
However some doctors are of the view that fibroid is fed by estrogen because they grow bigger and bigger during the child bearing period of women only to decrease in size when these women reach their menopause from 40 - 45 years of age.
Fibroid growth is at its height during the child bearing age of women. Hardly can you see any woman who has reached her menopause suffering acutely from fibroid.
When is the ideal time for a woman who has undergone fibroid operation to go for a baby?
We usually recommend six to 12 months after the operation when the womb would have gone back to its normal shape and might also have regained its strength to carry a baby.
Do you mean the woman could be pregnant six months after the operation or sexual intercourse could not begin before six months?
Six months post-operation period should be the ideal time to start sex. But the couple could start just before that time, after all there is no harm in trying.
Usually we recommend one year but since there is no assurance as to the exact time when the woman can take in so you can start just before six months.
Can we then regard all those women who have are “pregnant” for over two to three years ‘pregnancies’ as jokers?
Women do make different claims of carrying pregnancies which are over two or more years. It is difficult to categorise them but what happens is, most of them have been taking native drugs which contain tetesteron, a male hormone drug.
As a result, their menstrual period seizes. If you examine the clitoris of some of these women, it is like a small penis whereas clitoris is supposed to be small. This can be found on nine out of ten women in this category no matter their profession. With the effects of menstrogen and tetesteron, some of these women start to grow hair all over the body like men.
However, there are some women who are naturally hairy but in most cases when their menstrual period seized because of these native drugs the native doctors pronounce them pregnant. But when the so called “pregnancies” outlive two or more years some native doctors attribute the delay of delivery to the work of the devil or witchcraft.
How come that some of these women who had been visiting these native doctors deliver babies after some two or three years?
The fact is some of these women after using these native drugs for sometime become fed up and thereby stop using them. But by stroke of luck, some of them start to ovulate again because they have stopped these drugs and by God’s grace they become pregnant after meeting a man. Definitely during the time of the false pregnancy sex does not stop but continues.
This does not categorically mean that the foetus had been there all these years but rather the women started ovulating during the time they had stopped using those drugs.
Is it true that some women become pregnant after visiting prayer houses?
There can be few cases of spiritual explanations to this problem which cannot really be generalised. Of course, with prayers there can be miracles. But the fact remains that most of these infertility problems can be easily regarded as medical rather than spiritual ones.
Is it right to assume that not all women who are within child bearing age should think that they are pregnant when their periods seized?
It must be right. There are many of them who while nursing fibroid continue to have their period irregularly but because their tummy gets bigger and bigger they always insist that they are pregnant.
How can a woman know that she is carrying fibroid or how do you diagnose it?
A woman who carries fibroid may have chest and waist pains. She may also complain of lower abdominal pains in addition to excessive and irregular vaginal bleeding which is one of the commonest symptoms of the disease. Some of these women bleed even twice or thrice in a single month. Others too bleed in five to ten days intervals while some may not have any symptom at all.
Some fibroid carrying women have infertility problems so upon reporting this to the doctor with the history of complaints, a doctor can determine a fibroid case.
Fibroid can also be diagnosed when the tumour grows and the patients abdomen becomes distended and instead of people sympathising with her out of ignorance they rather congratulate her for being pregnant.
On physical examination of a woman suffering from fibroid a doctor can know what is happening especially when the vagina is carefully examined. In some cases too, a doctor can see signs of growing fibroid like peanuts when he performs a caesarian operation on the woman with obstructed labour. At times signs of growing fibroid can be observed near the uterus.
Above all, the best confirmation for fibroid diagnosis is by doing the scan test. x-ray too may be useful or helpful but scan is better for the fact that when the fibroid is not inside the womb proper, the x-ray will not be able to pick it as scan can.
Can a woman have a baby again when she has developed fibroid after the birth of an earlier baby?
Some of these women can have a baby, again when fibroid has developed after the ‘birth of an earlier baby whereas others may not. This situation of course depends on the type of fibroid and also the exact position which it occupies in the woman.
As I have already said, some of these fibroids can grow in the womb which can distort the shape of the cavity of the uterus. This results in heavy and irregular menstrual periods a condition which does not augur well for pregnancy. The heavy bleeding alone could make a woman anaemic if blood transfusion is not given at the right time. Some of the patients could even go into shock.
This is a very dangerous condition, because as an anaemic, she can be exposed to all sorts of diseases bearing in mind blood transfusion during this AIDS era. The heavy bleeding type of fibroid does not allow foetus to stay since the latter has nothing substantial to feed on.
Can a woman who has undergone fibroid operation suffer same again?
It is possible for a new fibroid to shoot up after an operation to remove an earlier one. The fact is some of these tumours are like peanuts while others are big. If care is not taken to remove the tiny ones in addition to the big one during the myomectomy, there is the possibility for them to grow big after sometime and the woman’s problem will start all over again.
This can send the woman back to the operation table for another myomectomy. It can continue on and on. This is really a vicious circle.
What kind of operation is performed for the older woman who is suffering from fibroid?
The best that can be done for a fairly old woman who is not interested in having children again is for her uterus to be removed entirely. Without the womb, fibroid cannot grow again. Unlike myomectomy this kind of operation is known as hysterectomy.
Are there other tests for diagnosis of fibroid?
Women who suffer from fibroid are usually anaemic and iron deficient. There can be a blood test to determine this.
Even at that stage, some of them will be reluctant to visit a gynaecologist for vaginal examination. They prefer having solution to their problem either at a shrine, revival church or a native doctor to attend to them.
