DANGERS OF FIBROID SHRINKERS
DANGEROUS TRADOMEDICAL SUPPLEMENTS. Of late certain supplements have emerged as panacea in non operative interventions for the treatment of uterine fibroids. They have gained so much popularity to the extent that affected women see them as only resort for cure. This conclusion is further fanned by the prevalent poor socioeconomic status of the populace. Another factor of note is morbid fear for surgeries and anaesthesia. These 'cures' usually promise to effect a cure within record time. The uterus is mainly muscular structure. Fibroid is a benign tumour of smooth mucles of which the uterus is made of. There are other structures in the body which are composed of smooth muscles. Of note are the the various sections of the gastroentestinal tract. HOW DRUGS WORK. The nature, carriage and functionality of a named drug is governed by its pharmacokynetics and pharmacodynamics. This is a cogent summarization of how drugs work. A medication could exert its action by attacking the membrane of a cell or affecting the active transport through the cell. It could also bypass the membrane or plasmalemma to affect the cytosolic organelles. In.other cases the drug could trangress the membrane and cytoplasm and pierce the nuclear capsule to affect the nuclear crux. HERBAL SUPPLEMENTS. Herbs remain the habingers of the pharmacopuar. Prior to the advent laboratory synthetic medicaments herbs held sware in the war against diseases. Herbs form the ingredients found in our soups, stews and even tea. Coffee is a form of herb. Herbs are drugs in raw states. Herbs often lack adequate dosage regimentations. FIBROID SHRINKING HERBAL PREPARATIONS. The socalled fibroid shrinkers actually have potentials to affect the membranes of the target organs. Since they act on the smooth muscular tumours of the uterus or fibroid they will also act on other smooth muscles of the uterus.They do this by gradually denaturing the surfaces of these tumours. However, since they are smooth muscle specific, they do not differentiate between smooth muscles found in the uterus and elsewhere. To this effect they attack the smooth muscles of the uterus. THE REAL DANGER The real nightmare in these herbage is the fact that they wind up attacking the weaker and more organized smooth muscles of the uterus more than the fibroid themselves. Most cases we encountered during myomectomy showed evident and gross uterine architectural denaturation. Though these herbs soften the tumour but we always meet the uterus in a grotesque state. Studies are yet to be done on their effects on other smooth muscular structures but the conclusion is apparent. When the womb is denatured it will lack the capacity to bear pregnancy. Even when pregnancy is achieved, certain complications like abortion, antepartum haemorrhages, abruptio placenta abound. Should pregnancy be managed till term, premature labours, uterine hypokinesis with prolonged and obstructed labours could superven. Operative procedures might become the resort in such cases. The worse case scenario is the risk of disseminated intravascular coagulation which.caries almost 100% mortality in this country. Herbs are good but they should not be applied in all cases. Fibroid is a hard tumour and trying to whip it with same toxin which affects other delicate structures of the body could be associates with deleterious consequences.

BREAST LIFT; FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
BREAST LIFT; FAQ
BREAST
LIFT, FAQ
The breast is a
delicate organ in the body and patients are usually concerned about certain
issues bordering on a wide range of issues. Patients preparing to undergo
mastopexy tend to ask these questions:
A: WILL I SLEEP OR BE AWAKE DURING THE
SURGERY?
Any patient billed to undergo a surgical
operation is usually filled with anxiety and apprehension.
One of such area of concern is
anaesthesia. The anaesthesia will be discussed. The type of anaesthesis and
route to be adopted will depend on the size of the breast and the patient`s
tolerability. Apprehensive patients often would not want to be aware of the
procedure and so they usually opt for general anaesthesia. irrespective of the
prevailing factor surrounding anaesthesia, the patient could be offered
general, spinal or topical anaesthesia.
B: HOW LONG WILL THE OPERATION TAKE?
The length of time it will take to
conclude the operation is equally of importance to the patient. Due to the
nature of the operation, we ensure the patient is offered the best. The patient
needs to know that her/his breast is to undergo sculpting and so appropriate
time is usually invested. The operation takes between 2:30 minutes to 3:00 hrs.
It must however be pointed out that this time could alter depending on the size
of the patient as well as tolerability to anaesthesia. Patients on hard drugs
or alcoholics are usually poorly compliant to anaesthesia.
C: WILL THERE BE SCARS AFTER THE OPERATION?
Scars exist following surgical
operations, however, in the case of breast lift, the scars are hidden from view
in the areola close to the nipple. To further ensure minimal scarring, special
sutures are used to close the skin. For the breast only one vertically
positioned scar exists below the breast and this scar appears as a form of
breast beautification. The breast will finally take the shape of a sculpted lollypop.
D: HOW LONG WILL IT IT TAKE FOR THE WOUND TO
HEAL?
Breast lift surgeries take between 3 to 4
weeks to heal. Towards the end of the lift a drain is inserted to drain out
excess fluid that might accumulate. This takes 2 days. Within the expected
period of healing, the patient won`t be able to lift things. She won`t be able
to carry weights including her children till about 4 to 4 and 1/2 weeks.
E: WHAT ABOUT COST IMPLICATIONS
Mastopexy is a cosmetic surgery and so is
fairly costly. Depending on the size of the breast, the cost could vary from
N150,000 TO N600,000.
