Female Circumcision No Health Benefits Only Harm
Posted on | Sunday, August 7, 2011 | 1 Comment
- Clitoridectomy: partial or total removal of the clitoris (a small, sensitive and erectile part of the female genitals) and, in very rare cases, only the prepuce (the fold of skin surrounding the clitoris).
- Excision: partial or total removal of the clitoris and the labia minora, with or without excision of the labia majora (the labia are "the lips" that surround the vagina).
- Infibulation: narrowing of the vaginal opening through the creation of a covering seal. The seal is formed by cutting and repositioning the inner, or outer, labia, with or without removal of the clitoris.
- Other: all other harmful procedures to the female genitalia for non-medical purposes, e.g. pricking, piercing, incising, scraping and cauterizing the genital area.
- Bleeding resulting in shock or death
- Infection in the pelvic organs that lead to sepsis.
- Tetanus causes death
- Gangrene that can lead to death
- Tremendous headache resulting shock
- Urinary retention due to swelling and blockage of the urethra.
Long-term impacts are:
- Pain while having sex prolonged
- The penis can not enter the vagina and require surgery.
- Sexual dysfunction (unable to achieve orgasm during sex)
- Menstrual dysfunction resulting hematocolpos (accumulation of menstrual blood in the vagina), hematometra (accumulation of menstrual blood in the uterus) and hematosalpinx (accumulation of menstrual blood in the fallopian tubes)
- Chronic urinary tract infections
- Urinary incontinence (unable to hold urine)
- Can occur abscesses, dermoid cysts and keloids (scar tissue hardens)
- Where FGM is a social convention, the social pressure to conform to what others do and have been doing is a strong motivation to perpetuate the practice.
- FGM is often considered a necessary part of raising a girl properly, and a way to prepare her for adulthood and marriage.
- FGM is often motivated by beliefs about what is considered proper sexual behaviour, linking procedures to premarital virginity and marital fidelity. FGM is in many communities believed to reduce a woman's libido, and thereby is further believed to help her resist "illicit" sexual acts. When a vaginal opening is covered or narrowed (type 3 above), the fear of pain of opening it, and the fear that this will be found out, is expected to further discourage "illicit" sexual intercourse among women with this type of FGM.
- FGM is associated with cultural ideals of femininity and modesty, which include the notion that girls are “clean” and "beautiful" after removal of body parts that are considered "male" or "unclean".
- Though no religious scripts prescribe the practice, practitioners often believe the practice has religious support.
The Disaster of Hair Loss, It Easy
Posted on | Saturday, August 6, 2011 | 3 Comments
The Disaster of Hair Loss Take It Easy. Human hair is one of those essential things that form the notion of beauty. Since long time ago hair comprised men power. Everyone knows the sad story of Samson who lost his incredible power after his wife Delilah had cut his long hair off.
Today it's more the matter of beauty and looks rather than strength and power. And basically everyone knows why: plenty of ads, healthy lifestyle propaganda and social dimension of human existence. The problem is that the more we care about our hair, the less hairs we appear to have on our head. The world is facing the disaster of hair loss, which means more time and money will be spent on hair in future.
The problem is somewhere between environmental situation, stress, genes and harder brain work. Yet, hundreds of specialists that try to work the problem out are not quite positive about the real root of the hair loss pandemic all over the world. It's mostly individual and can be either one negative factor or the group of negative factors that contribute to it.
Each hair on human's body has its own follicle to grow from. The follicles produce cells that eventually turn to hairs. So, hairs are those dead cells that have been pushed out of follicle. It is normal to lose 50-100 hairs daily. If a person loses more, that can eventually lead to baldness.
Baldness is not that much devastating as it seems to be. It can be treated more or less successfully by special drugs like Propecia, and what's more - it is not dangerous for your health. Still, the numbers show that about 50% of men of the world suffer from slight or severe baldness and the age groups go down averaging at 30-40.
People that start losing hair usually have to follow simple rules to prevent further hair loss. But if the problem grows to real baldness it is recommended that you consult a specialist first. Anyway, preventing methods are also appreciated. Hair needs care every single day. It is generally advised that you wash your hair due to your hair type and if you do that every day, then you have to find an appropriate shampoo and balsam, especially in summer.
Yet, it is pretty hard to stay cool, when there are so many myths around hair and baldness. Most of them basically touch men as men are considered to suffer from baldness more than women. In fact, men more suffer from the so called horse-shoe pattern around the sides of their head which makes the baldness more visible.
Another matter has something to do with the genetical theory of hair loss attaching a rumor that it is just enough to have a look at a father and you'll see his son when he gets older, which is not biologically correct as assumes the sole influence of father's genes in forming son's cells.
Popular hair loss myths also include:
- it is useless to care about my hair as I cannot prevent my old age baldness anyway;
- baldness can be one of the side effects of shampoo/balsam overuse;
- it is harmful for the hair to wear a hat etc.

Factors Causing Leukemia Cells
Posted on | Thursday, August 4, 2011 | No Comments
Acute lymphocytic leukemia is more common in children, whereas acute myelogenous leukemia can descend all ages.
Causes of acute leukemia is not known with certainty, but likely factors driving force is a combination of viral genetic, immunologic factors, not resistant to radiation and some chemicals. Symptoms that can occur in acute leukemia, namely: the abnormal bleeding such as nosebleeds, bleeding gums, easy bruising, a red and dark brown spots, anemia, weight loss, the body feels uncomfortable, weak, tired, lose energy, heart rate quick, on bone or stomach pain, pale and prone to infection.
Typically, chronic leukemia occur in adults between the ages of 45-60 years. In chronic lymphocytic leukemia characterized by the uncontrolled spread of small and abnormal lymphocytes in lymphoid tissues, blood and bone marrow. In leukemia have an abnormal accumulation of mature B cells, but there is a rare form of leukemia that involves T cells called T-cell leukemia. Chronic lymphocytic leukemia is the most mild type of leukemia, are benign and slow development, and survival can be more than 10 years. Symptoms of chronic lymphocytic leukemia are anemic, always feeling tired, the body feels uncomfortable, fever, enlarged lymph nodes, and are particularly susceptible to infection. The cause of leukemia is not known for certain, but genetic factors (heredity) play a role.
Chronic myelogenous leukemia is also called chronic leukemia granulositik. In these conditions, granulocytes (white blood cells containing granules) had abnormal cleavage in the bone marrow and in tissues. This type of leukemia was held in two phases, namely: chronic and acute phases. In the chronic phase of an increase in the number of granulocytes, anemia, weight loss, fever, and enlarged spleen. In the acute phase of rapid cleavage occurs in cells of immature granulocytes. Usually, at this phase the patient may die. Granulositik chronic leukemia patients may survive long enough if the acute phase can be avoided through chemotherapy.
System of The Male Reproductive Organs and Functions
Posted on | Tuesday, August 2, 2011 | No Comments
Male Reproductive Organs System is one of the most important part on the male body. Parts of the male reproductive system very much, but we have to understand, especially for the man herself. Male reproductive organ system consists of 2 parts in outline, namely: the inner and outer sections.
Any parts of the male reproductive system have their respective functions.
EXTERNAL GENETALIA:
Penis
Is erectile tissue which serves to:
Deposit sperm in sexual relations that can be accommodated before intercourse. As an important tool in sex for both creation and procreation.
Anatomical structure there is a section called kapernous that can raise and give tension to the penis.
The Scrotum
The scrotum is the sac that contains the testes. Scrotum numbered pair, namely the right scrotum and the left scrotum. Among the right scrotum and left scrotal septum is limited by the form of connective tissue and smooth muscle (dartos muscle). Dartos muscle serves to move the scrotum so as to constrict and relax. In the scrotum are also artifacts muscle fibers derived from the continuation of the abdominal wall striated muscle is called muscle Cremasteric. This muscle acts as a regulator of testicular temperature environment so that his condition is stable. The process of sperm formation (spermatogenesis) requires a stable temperature, which is several degrees lower than body temperature.
INTERNAL GENETALIA:
Testes
Also called the scrotum. The testes are outside wrapped in a loose scrotum. Is an important tool to form the male hormone, testosterone and sperm to form the seed of men in large numbers. Spermatozoa that have been formed is stored in the channel is sufficient for testis for spermatozoa is not heat resistant and can not stand the temperature is too cold. Loose scrotal skin is used to regulate the temperature so the heat around the spermatozoa are relatively fixed.
Epididymal
Channel connecting the testes with the vas deferens manufactures fluid that contains enzymes and nutrients. Channel with a length of about 45-50 cm, where growth and development of spermatozoa that are ready to perform fertilization.
Prostate GlandsIs forming liquid to be together out during ejaculation in sexual intercourse. This gland is located inside the liquid form and function sperrmatozoa supporters.
Vas DeferensThe epididymis is a continuation of channels that can be touched from the outside. Contraception he made by cutting and closing of this channel so it is not possible, provide pregnancy. A complex system of hormonal male with female, but there are differences on some of the things that is on faculty relations system, central inhibitors puberty, the hypothalamus, pituitary, and testicular glands. Through sensory stimulation, continued in the hypothalamic-pituitary system-testis so gradually be able to receive stimulation.
UrethraThe urethra is the end of the reproductive tract contained in the penis. The urethra serves as a genital tract derived from the bags of cement and channels to remove urine from the bladder.
"Teach your son from now on parts of their reproductive organ system, and tell them how to care for and maintain their most important part to avoid the various diseases."
