CRACKS AT CORNER OF THE MOUTH

DUE TO RAPID BOUNCERS OF BAD TIME AGAINST ME,I COULDN'T COPE WITH MY REGULAR RHYTHM OF THIS BLOG....FORGIVE ME!!!

Today we are going to discuss a common problem which we do regularly see in our mothers or grandmothers or even ourselves when there are low amount of vitamins in our body i.e., CHEILOSIS{which means cracks at corner of the mouth}.For a clear picture of what i am saying just look at the pictures.

This is what generally people call as cracks on lips

FIRST IMPORTANT THING TO BE KEPT IN MIND WHILE YOU NOTICE THIS CONDITION IN ELDERS IN OUR FAMILY FOR LONG TIME{say some 3 months} IS THAT"THERE IS NOT ENOUGH BLOOD IN THE BODY OR THERE IS LOW STOCK OF VITAMINS IN THE BODY".

HAEMOGLOBIN test{HB%} should be tested as soon as possible in elders because this cracking of lips in them is a warning to individuals that "you are going to get some big illness in near future"

otherwise in youngsters mostly importantly girls always lick their lips to look fresh or whatever it is!the reason is saliva from tongue, when you lick your lips,it easily evaporates and makes lips dry subsequently causing this cracks all over your lips.

TREATMENT  :

1.Multivitamin tabs{available in medical shops}-------daily one in the night before sleeping for one   month.

2.apply good oil on your lips for smoothness or nice lip balm available in market.

3.eat fruits as much as possible....for girls it will definitely enhance your face and you look too           good.

SEX,VIAGRA AND ALL YOU SHOULD KNOW.....

Many problems are faced even today by many educated couples at a crucial point of their life i.e.SEX .let's look at the common problems one faces in point of view from both the genders.there are many ,but for our comfort let's look at it in a small screen first.

                                             "MEN"

VIAGRA....I think even a kid is now familiar with this word and regardless of its meaning ,it gives hint of sexual thought in the mind of individuals at its pronunciation.

so let's look at the positive side and negative side of these pills which people use generally at their will.

In medical terms we do call it as SILDENAFIL pills which come under PHOSPHO DI-ESTERASE 5 INHIBITORS.so dear medicos remember this as we must not fumble at crucnch times.It is used in the treatment of ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION upto some extent taking causes of this penis erection problem into account while prescribing it.and first of all know the causes that causes problems and have an impact while erecting your penis for intercourse.

other names of VIAGRA{sildenafil} are SIALIS{tadalafil} and LEVITRA{vardenafil} which are produced in the market on basis of their dosage present in the pill.

MAIN FUNCTION OF "VIAGRA": it just gives you the support in erection but not complete erection as it is believed to do.its a misunderstanding.it only helps upto 70%while you are engaged in the intercourse

Dosage: available are 25 mg,50 mg and 100 mg.people generally do start with 50 mg.
and after having it,you will get excited or feel pleasure for erection within 30 min or 60 min

Disadvantages of having this pill :

1. Headache--most common complaint.
2. feeling of nose bolckage
3. improper digestion,abdominal pain and feeling of heaviness in the stomach{DYSPEPSIA}
4. face turns red.

remember that one should not use these pills if at all they suffered from any disorders of heart like heart pain and high b.p. (or) if you are using any medications for chest pain or high b.p.

                                                 'WOMEN'

 'Women' do face the problem of PAIN and DISCOMFORT or FEELING OF Tightness while having sex.there are numerous causes for this problem but most importantly they should have a complete check-up of their genital organs and hormonal status which provoke them to have sex.Its the duty of her partner to make her undergo all investigations with respect to counselling of a well known FAMILY PHYSICIAN or WOMEN'S SPECIALIST(OBS/GYNAE SPECIALIST)

For the above problem women can use LUBRICANTS such as VASELINE CREAM,OIL OR OESTROGEN CREAMS for support.

PREMARIN OESTROGEN CREAM

.

please don't disturb your psyche or brain for this matter.Understanding among yourselves is the KEY to the LOCK of SEX in your life.

DIABETES ,PLEASE READ IT AND ENLIGHTEN YOURSELF.

Another medical condition which acts as our life-long friend is DIABETES.

This one is like a  slow poison in normal terms, to say about.It completely chews each and every vital organ until it destroys them.Its favourite organ is HEART and that is the main problem because once if heart is affected then there's nothing more to see forward.Hence awareness about this dreadful condition is very much IMPORTANT.

let's look at this condition under 3 points....DIAGNOSIS,CAUSES AND STRATEGIES FOR PREVENTION. 

DIAGNOSIS:

Doctors generally ask you to go for 'checking your BLOOD SUGAR LEVELS' in order to say whether you are prone to have Diabetes or not.

FASTING SUGAR LEVELS : 70-110 mg/dl is normal range and your reading should be between 70 and 110 , this is taken early in the morning on empty stomach and that too u should not eat or drink anything 8 hours before the test is done.If it is from 110 to 126 mg/dl then it is said that 'YOU ARE AT THE RISK OF DIABETES'which means you will be affected with this condition in near future.if it is above 126 then you are called Diabetic patient

after taking the blood for the above test,you will be asked to eat something and wait for an hour to take another 5 ml of blood which is called POST PRANDIAL TEST which means the test done after you have your regular breakfast. And that is as shown below

POST PRANDIAL SUGAR LEVELS :80-140 mg/dl which is normal range.if it is above between 140 to 200 then as said above you are at 'risk of diabetes' and if it is above 200 then you are called DIABETIC patient.

Here is an example of the lab report which will be given to a patient after the test.

TEST DONE	OBSEREVED READING {THIS IS PATIENT’S READING}       NORMAL READING
FASTING SUGAR LEVELS	126 MG/DL                                           70-110 MG/DL
POST PRANDIAL LEVELS	150 MG/DL                                           80-150 MG/DL
HBa1c:it is the last test done for confirmation of diabetes if above readings are abnormal. ‘This test is done usually in pregnant women to rule out risk of diabetes because of threatening complications to babies’	<6.5%                                                            (Or) <48 milli mol/mol                 8%                                                       (Or)  <8milli mol/litre

so now there are some indications which are important that makes you go to the doctor for a check -up.so observe these and if you notice any of these in your body,you should go to a dcotor. here is the picture

 now it is important to know why only you are having this problem??so there are some mistakes you have done right from your childhood and those lead you here.what are they???here is the picture for your question.....

 answer for prevention too lies in the same picture....its not that you should not eat junk food or burgers,sandwiches or anything you would like eat more often.

1.you should do exercise atleast 1/2 hour a day and there's no excuse to it.just walk with your ipod or mp3 player on for 45 min at your favourite spot.it also relaxes your mind

2.consume 4 liters of water everyday because water breaks down the fat present in the food you eat and ultimately sugar levels in your body too listen to your commands

           here fat is the main villian of human being but we love it very much.

3.eat junk food....but don't eat it regularly.acording to me you can have junk food for 2 times in a week but you should do proper exercise to destroy the bad content in it.

COMPLICATIONS too prevail once you are affected by DIABETES.rather than describing it i would like to show it in pictorial representation that gives you proper idea of dangers for having diabetes with you.they are :-

Here diabetes effects your sexual life too..that is your penis does not erect at the time of intercourse which inturn pulls you and your mind into depression as shown below

If you have any elders in your family suffering from diabetes ,observe them at regular intervals because they can die suddenly without any indication and one such condition which generally people neglect is diabetic foot which pollutes your body and cause sudden heart attack by making organs impure.Hence if anyone with diabetes are injured,be your grand parents or parents,take them immediately to a hospital for you now know all the complications.Blood vessels or in lay terms tubes which carry blood are infected with diabetes hence injuries don't heal in a proper time.Take care of the people surrounding for you are an educated person and you have awareness about this dreadful condition.

I am a medical professional . I am aware of all these facts but still i couldn't prevent the death of a 70 year old man who is not even my relative, due to this diabetic foot . I told his relatives about the situation and took him to hospital immediately and posted him for amputation{cutting of infected organs}.The next day he died because of the same reason.The reason is "its too late".his body is infected very much by that time.I felt so much bad ,for in this contemporary world still we have people who doesn't know this much.so please take care of everyone around you. 

GOD MADE US TO TAKE BIRTH BECAUSE HE WANTS US TO HELP OTHERS WHO ARE NOT FAMILIAR WITH EVERYTHING IN THIS WORLD.SO FULFILL THE WISH OF GOD AND BE A GOD YOURSELF ONE DAY.

KNOW HOW DOCTORS SAY YOU HAVE HIGH B.P.{HYPERTENSION}???

In India ,statistics show that we Indians are suffering from two medical conditions which long for many years in an average man's life span from the time it attacks us&such conditions are called CHRONIC medical conditions,they are DIABETES{sugar disease}and HYPERTENSION{high B.P.}.

Here concerning issue is that it doesn't show very early in one's life but shows up at the age of 'say' about 40 years but with advent of western food culture,diseases too are advancing before we reach the age of 35 years now-a -days.point to be noted here is that it stays as our friend life long and makes us in such a way that we cannot eat food items with high amount of spices,salt,sugar and fat.Imagine your diet without these basic ingredients.That is the pain it gives....that too life long.

so today I want tell you about the basic info as how these medical conditions are known to doctors from your reports.Here it is your duty to take care of your own body,so you too should know how a doctor confirms that you are suffering from DIABETES or HYPERTENSION.

let's see them one by one along with pictorial representation for making yourself clear about everything.

HYPERTENSION:

we do say it in lay man terms as HIGH B.P.

it is measured by an instrument called spygmomanometer.

after taking your blood pressure{b.p.},a reading will be noted by the respective medical practitioner

u observe a fractional figure,for example 120/80 mm of HG. but there is a range in which we doctors do say its normal and that range is :

NORMAL  :   90-120/60-80 mm of HG

I think now u can get a clear idea by looking at the above picture.

after measuring your b.p. if it is between the range mentioned above then its absolutely normal,and of course a slight addition of 10+ or a difference of 10- is ok, so no need to worry about that.

but if a b.p. measurement lies in range of  >140 on upper part of fraction or >100 in lower part(either of reading abnormal is enough) tells you that u are at risk of HYPERTENSION.

 Before coming to a conclusion b.p. has to be recorded at 3 different time intervals to say that u are suffering from high b.p.

{for example if your b.p.is recorded on 28-3-2013 for first time and reading is abnormal then again it should be recorded on 01-04-2013 and again on 05-04-2013 to confirm that you are having HYPERTENSION(high b.p.)}.see that you are checked on 3 different occasions because sometimes due to physical activity involved in going to hospital /fear then our b.p.tend to rise under normal circumstances. 

1. this is normal measurement

2. this is abnormal

  

I think now you know what causes high b.p. and how generally doctors measure this condition.

NOSE BLEEDING and its management

Today let's take up another component of life ,that is AIR.One is generally deprived of airway due to  defect in main organs,HEART,LUNGS AND NOSE.Obstruction or Disease that causes irritation to these organs manifests as LIFE THREATENING COMPLICATIONS.so please recognize them on first hand first-time basis and be careful....DON'T NEGLECT the only human life gifted by GOD.

Let's take NOSE and look at the most common manifestation i.e., BLEEDING FROM NOSE which is called EPISTAXIS.so first-aid that should be done before getting it too complicated is as follows:-

1. Pinch the nose with thumb and index finger  for 10 min and u can carry it on until bleeding stops
2. do not bend bend your head backwards ,u should bend forwards so as to prevent pooling of blood    in throat ,which furthers complicates the situation .

3.apply ice pack on the nose which stops bleeding by constricting(pressing) the arteries(blood oozes 

   out from these things which are 5 in number in the nose)

4.  have a cotton piece/any clean piece of cloth  placed inside the nose so as  to prevent the loss of  
    more blood from nose.

5.In medical shop u will get  a topical nasal decongestant OXYMETAZOLINE,spray it into your nose

  for the same reason that it constricts the arteries and stops bleeding(take pain to do this thing 

  definitely)

THIS IS THE FIRST-AID TO BE FOLLOWED WHILE BLOOD OOZES OUT OF YOUR NOSE.YOU CAN JUST ADVICE ANYONE YOU COME ACROSS WITH SAME PROBLEM ,SAY :

•  ROAD ACCIDENTS.

•  PREVIOUSLY SUFFERING FROM B.P./HYPERTENSION

•  PREVIOUSLY IF YOU HAD ANY BLEEDING ISSUES

• NOSE PRICKING WITH SOME FOREIGN OBJECTS and

• RUBBING YOUR NOSE RIGOROUSLY TOO CAUSES NOSE BLEEDING OR

• ANY MEDICATIONS YOU ARE USING FOR A LONG TIME LIKE 'WARFARIN' OR   'HEPARIN'

• IF WOMEN THEN ANY PREVIOUS MENSTRUAL PROBLEMS.

                            ' SO IDENTIFY YOUR CAUSE AND REACT ACCORDINGLY'

Most common cause, at some times is just a vague one but next main thing is HYPERTENSION/B.P. in which  you feel your head banging / dizziness, then definitely  u should go to E.N.T specialist and also compulsory reference with M.D.(physician) is required to rule out every cause to this disorder of nose bleeding.I am now taking pain again to say that you should refer to specialist I mentioned above to rule out the cause because many a times people neglect thinking it its just once in a while.

BLACK SPOTS ON FACE--HERE'S THE REMEDY

Here is one tip that clears black spots on your face which will be taming your glamour at times while you are ready for clicking some pics for yourself.

1.mix 4 SPOONS  of  BUTTER MILK with 2 spoons of TOMATO JUICE and apply it over your 

  face,keep it for 15 min and then wash your face

                                                                     (or)

2.mix one spoon of HONEY with 2 spoons of ONION JUICE ,apply it over your face and wash
