Vasectomy Operations, Is It Painful?

Posted by Shisuka Monday, January 11, 2010 0 comments





Some men who undergo vasectomy operations are likely to experience pain for months afterward, says a study. Some British researchers revealed that 15 percent of the 593 men who undergo vasectomy operation where they suffer pain in the scrotum, which lasted until the 7th month after the operation.
During vasectomy operation, surgeons cut the channel where the flow of sperm from the testicles into the semen. This is done through a small incision in the scrotum; last few years, the surgeons began using "no scalpel" thechnique, where they make a small hole in the scrotum, without the usual incision.

Men usually experience pain in scrotum after vasectomy, but there is no research found whether the pain is normal after that long.

Now a new study revealed that pain in scrotum after vasectomy is 'really happened'; Dr. Thomas A. Leslie and his colleagues reported in medical journal BJU International, on December 2007.
Still, men need not fear the vasectomy because these findings, says Dr. Leslie from the Churchill Hospital in Oxford. Of those who reported pain in scrotum after vasectomy, only four of them who said the pain worse. The rest was "satisfied" and even "very satisfied" with the results of such treatment, despite experiencing a prolonged discomfort.
"I think men do not have to worry about the pain experienced on scrotum after vasectomy; 'says Leslie." But they should be aware that this operation is not without pain, and discomfort after the operation can be continued. "
These types of vasectomy also gives a different effect. In subjects who undergo non-scalpel vasectomy, the risk of prolonged pain tend to be smaller than those who run the traditional way of vasectomy - about 12 percent compared to 19 percent.
According to the research team, there are a number of reasons why men experience prolonged pain after a vasectomy. They note, 60 percent of men who complained of pain were also felt a lump on one point after the operation - which could indicate the presence of swelling or a mass of inflamed tissue.
Long-term studies currently required to know how the pain after a vasectomy can be lost over time, the researchers concluded.

Diabetes Threatens Those Who Suffered Sleep Deprivation

Lack of sleep for three days can dramatically reduce the body's ability to manage glucose which increases the risk of diabetes.

Researchers from the University of Chicago found that lack of sleep for three consecutive days can reduce glucose even in young adults healthy. This effect can be synchronized with the weight gain of 8-13 pounds.

Decreasing the body's ability to manage glucose due to chronic sleep deprivation, -especially for those who are elderly and obesity- play a role in the development of diabetes, according to the researchers concluded.

Restless Legs

Have you ever seen your spouse feet suddenly "flutter" when he was asleep, and the next morning he complained of pain and cramps? And the problem is not just the symptoms, but the risk incurred.


The people with Restless Legs Syndrome, or RLS, having risk to get stroke or heart attack two times higher than those who are not sufferers. And this risk increases for those who suffered most common and most severe symptoms, according to research published in the journal Neurology.

RLS is a disease with symptoms of an unnatural movement that causes uncomfortable sensations in one leg when he was not active, such as when he is sleeping. Things alleged to be the cause of this problem, including hormones and lack of specific ions. If he drinks calcium and magnesium but it did not reduce the activity of the feet when he sleeps, it is a good idea to contact your doctor immediately.


Skin Cancer Medicine from Kangaroo

Beside funny and unique, kangaroo is useful for patients with skin cancer. Kangaroos State scientists from Australia said that the animal has potential to prevent DNA damage associated with many cases of skin cancer in humans.

The researchers at Melbourne University are investigating whether the DNA repair enzyme found in animals can provide an example for the prevention of this DNA damage.

"Several other research teams have proposed 'dream cream' contains a DNA repair enzyme that you can apply on the skin after a day under the sun," said Linda Feketeova, a scientist. "We are currently examining whether this is feasible to be produced by examining the chemical content behind a DNA repair system."

Feketeova and his partner, Uta Wille, in collaboration with scientists at the University of Innsbruck in Austria, are investigating whether human DNA is damaged by the sun can be improved by using the example of a kangaroo. By using Spectrometer instrument, they will simulate the impact caused by kangaroos enzyme in the DNA that would develop a skin cancer.

"We were very surprised that the DNA repair process also resulted in a number of chemical byproducts, which have never been seen before," said Wille.
"Our plan is to learn all these products in order to understand whether the DNA repair enzymes can be harmonized into a safe method and effective for the prevention of skin cancer," he said.

The specific repaired enzymes in kangaroos, which also occurs in some bacteria and fish, provide additional protection for their skin which is not owned by

Let’s Eat Right for Your Health

Posted by Shisuka Monday, December 14, 2009 0 comments

Even though we know about good nutrition, and how to upgrade our diet program, we are not actually putting the advice into practice. But, it may be necessary if we follow the advice. So, let’s eat right for your health by following below advice, such as:
• Good grains
Pass on bread-banning plans. Cutting carbs long-term may raise your risk for colon cancer, scientists at the Rowett Research Institute in Aberdeen, Scotland, say. Dieters who restrict their intake of whole grains and fruit have lower levels of fatty acid, butyrate, which kills cancer cells. Make sure your diets include plenty of whole grains, fruit and vegetable.
• Not so fast
Convenience foods may be anything but. People who make prepackaged dinners spend as much time in the kitchen as those who cook from scratch, researchers at the University of California at Los Angeles say.
Ready-made meals also tend to be less nutritious than those made fresh.
• Dairy defense
Drinking two cups of milk a day may lower your risk for heart disease or stroke by 15 percent, notes a study in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health. Pour skin to save saturated fat.
• Cheaters win
Nearly all dieters have cravings, but they do not always have to ignore them to reach their goal weight. Women who lost the most pounds sometimes splurged on treats, a study in the International Journal of Obesity reports. However, do not consider this news a ticket to overindulge, women who gave in more frequently lost less. Keep treats under control with a food diary.
• Fabulous folate
Munching on folate-rich foods may cut the risk for pancreatic cancer by about 60 percent in normal-weight women, a study in Cancer Research reveals. Not so for those taking folate supplements, which actually raised their risk. Skip the pill; go for raw greens such as spinach.
• Meal math
The more you’re served, the more you eat. When researchers at Penn State University in University Park gave normal-sized meals for 11 days, then supersized them by 50 percent, dinner ate 423 more calories per day. If your eating has started to get off track, try this trick to curb calories: Eat two bites of veggies for every one of a main course and you’ll feel full.

Diabetes Is a Killer

Diabetes is a disease that you can get if you do not eat right or take care of your body. Genetics play a part in diabetes as well. In fact, hereditary is a hard cause of the problem. The disease can cause blindness. The disease can lead to amputation of legs, or feet. Diabetes is a disease that when your body does not produce enough insulin to break down sugar in the bloodstream. Diabetes includes two types, yet various levels are considered. Diabetes includes Diabetes Insipidus and Mellitus.

The first diabetes is where your body is incapable of producing enough insulin to do what its supposed to do. This type of diabetes is treatable. You will need medications, exercise and strict diet to maintain your health. Diabetes Mellitus has five types. Each type results from insulin interruptions whereas the system is disrupted. The disruption causes chaos within the body’s ability to function. The body cannot act naturally and it takes insulin shots to treat this condition depending on the type.

How would I know that I have this disease called diabetes?
If you go to your doctors on a regular basis, your doctor will monitor your health. If you have family history of diabetes, let your doctor know so he/she can conduct random testing. A glucose test is necessary to find diabetes. Blood lab tests are useful also to spot diabetes.
