https://www.apollohospitals.com/diseases-and-conditions/abnormal-gait-symptoms-causes-and-treatments/Women have menstrual cycles from the age of 11-12 years to about 50 years. In these 40 years’ time span women is likely to have a few episodes of bleeding which is not her usual cycle. If this abnormality persists then one needs to become concerned and consult a gynecologist. There may be an increase in the number of days of bleeding, there could be heavy bleeding with clots there could be associated pain or the bleeding could be irregular. It is normal for menstrual bleeding of a woman to last up to 7 days. Abnormal bleeding can happen when the menstrual period is not regular (when bleeding is longer than normal) is heavier than normal, or when the patterns of bleeding changes. What is a normal menstrual cycle? A normal cycle that comes every 28-35 days lasts for 7-8 days and is not associated with pain or clots. During the menstrual cycle, two hormones -estrogen and progesterone act on the lining (endometrium) of the uterus and causes it to grow. At the end of the cycle, this endometrium sheds and this is seen as menstrual bleeding. The menstrual cycle begins with the first day of the bleeding of one period (referred to as D1) and ends with the first day of the next period. An average cycle lasts approximately 28 days, but it can be shorter or longer. If the cycle is longer than 35 days or shorter than 21 days, it is considered abnormal. Abnormal uterine bleeding includes: Bleeding between periods Bleeding after sex Spotting anytime in the menstrual cycle Bleeding heavier or longer than normal Absence of menstrual periods for 3 normal cycles or 6 months Abnormal bleeding can occur at any age. There are times in a woman’s life when it is common for periods to be somewhat irregular. Often, periods are not regular for the first few years (about 9 to 16 years of age) after a girl begins to have periods. Starting as early as 35 years of age and more commonly when a woman nears menopause (about 50 years of age), it is normal for the menstrual cycle of a women to become shorter. It is also normal for a woman to skip periods or for bleeding to become lighter. However, if the bleeding gets heavier, it should be checked.

https://www.apollohospitals.com/diseases-and-conditions/acoustic-neuroma-types-symptoms-causes-and-treatment/Acquired Immuno Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) is a disease caused by human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). HIV damages the immune system and decreases the ability of your body to fight against infections and diseases. In the early 1980s, doctors described unusual infections and cancers among gay men. These men developed unusual pneumonia caused by Pneumocystis carinii and cancers like Kaposi sarcoma and died due to a severe deficiency in their body’s immune defenses. By September 1982, CDC had named this condition as AIDS or acquired immune deficiency syndrome and proposed that it causes a defect in the cell-mediated immunity of the body. Later, the disease was also shown to affect intravenous drug abusers and patients suffering from hemophilia. In 1984, the human immunodeficiency virus was discovered as the cause of AIDS by scientists Luc Montagnier and Robert Gallo. Clinically, HIV infection progresses through 3 stages, namely, acute primary infection, stage of clinical latency and AIDS. Throughout these stages, the immunity of the individual progressively decreases, and the number of immune cells present reduces. When the immunity of the individual infected with HIV becomes extremely weak, specific immune cells in his body known as CD4 cells decrease below 200 cells/mm3, and he develops AIDS. AIDS is the most serious phase of HIV infection. In this phase, the patient suffers AIDS symptoms like severe, life-threatening infections, cancers and neurological complications of AIDS. HIV infection is diagnosed by testing for antibodies against HIV in the blood of the patient. A few tests which detect the presence of viral DNA and CD4 cell counts are used to guide AIDS treatment. According to worldwide the statistics published by the World Health Organisation, by the end of 2016, 36.7 million people were infected with HIV. Additionally, 1.6 million deaths occurred due to causes related to AIDS. The African continent has the highest number of people affected. Currently, AIDS is described as a pandemic, a disease which has spread across continents. People in developing countries are most affected, as HIV infection increases the chances of acquiring infections like tuberculosis and dying due to AIDS-related complications. AIDS also affects the economy of the country because a majority of the individuals affected are in the productive age group. Studies have reported that ninety-five percent of individuals with HIV infection live in developing countries. Poverty, the presence of other severe illnesses, unavailability of appropriate medical care and ignorance aggravates the burden of AIDS in these nations. Due to the modes of transmission, individuals who are at risk of developing AIDS or HIV infection are Men who have sex with men Commercial sex workers Individuals who have multiple partners and involve in unprotected sex Illicit drug users who share needles Individuals who have concurrent sexually transmitted diseases

https://www.apollohospitals.com/diseases-and-conditions/active-surveillance-of-prostate-cancer-an-overview/AES (Acute Encephalitis Syndrome) is a critical public health concern in India. Also known as ‘Chamki Fever’ or Litchi Virus, AES is a health condition that mainly affects young adults and children and causes inflammation, irritation, or swelling of the brain. Most importantly, it can lead to a significant number of deaths. The chief cause of acute encephalitis syndrome in India is the Japanese Encephalitis Virus (JEV). Besides, Influenza A virus, Herpes simplex virus, Parvovirus B4, dengue, Epstein-Barr virus, Chandipura virus, S. pneumoniae, etc., are responsible for the sporadic spread of the disease in the country. The first case of JEV-induced AES was recorded in India in 1955 in Tamil Nadu (formerly called the State of Madras). According to the National Vector Borne Diseases Control Program (NVBDCP), over 10,400 cases of AES and more than 630 deaths were recorded from seventeen states in India in 2018. Jharkhand, Bihar, Assam, Karnataka, Uttar Pradesh, Tripura, Meghalaya, Manipur, and Tamil Nadu add to the maximum number of cases.

https://www.apollohospitals.com/diseases-and-conditions/alcoholic-hepatitis/The liver is the largest organ in our body which plays a central role in metabolic processes. Alcohol can damage the liver and its functioning. Over the years, the number of alcohol-related diseases and death is increasing. Young people between the age group of 25 – 34 are more affected at a prime period of life. How is alcohol related to liver? The liver is a most important organ which performs around 500 functions daily like bile production, detoxifying substances, metabolizing proteins, storage of vitamin and minerals and so on. The liver acts as a filter and processes whatever we eat or drink, including alcohol. Drinking of alcohol puts our liver under stress which further causes dehydration, scarring and alcohol-related liver diseases; even when people don’t have a family history of such diseases. Also Read : Liver Function Test Normal Range What is Alcohol-Related Liver disease and what are the different stages? A damage caused to the liver or its function due to alcohol abuse is known as Alcohol-Related Liver disease. Nowadays, more people are getting affected due to alcohol abuse, especially young adults. Research has proven that there is a rise in morbidity and mortality due to alcohol-related liver diseases, especially with binge drinking. Alcohol-related liver diseases can occur in the following stages, however, there can be an overlap between each stage: Alcoholic fatty liver: It is the first stage of liver disease which usually occurs due to heavy drinking or even to those drinking large quantity in one day. Deposit of fat causes liver enlargement, which further affects the functioning of the liver. Alcoholic fatty liver disease is reversible by stopping alcohol. Alcoholic hepatitis: Continuous alcohol consumption for a long period of time can result in liver inflammation leading to a degeneration of liver cells. It is a critical condition, as it can cause serious damage to the liver and can be life-threatening. Alcoholic hepatitis disease can be reversible if the use of alcohol is stopped and diagnosed before it becomes severe. One has to take proper treatment to recover. Cirrhosis: This is the last stage of alcohol-related liver disease whereby the damage happened to the liver cannot be reversed but, if it is diagnosed in the early stage it can be treated. However, the damage done cannot be reversed. Cirrhosis is permanent scarring (fibrosis) of the liver tissues. Patient with cirrhosis is more prone to liver failure.

It results in the death of brain cells and the shrinking of the brain. Patients with Alzheimer’s go through multiple stages that affect memory, thinking, cognitive behavior, and simple life skills. The progressive loss of memory (dementia) is the most notable of all Alzheimer’s symptoms. Alzheimer’s disease causes slow and consistent loss of memory. Interestingly, patients with Alzheimer’s disease can remember incidences of the distant past but experience difficulty remembering recent events in the initial stages. Alzheimer’s disease causes extensive degeneration of brain cells with time and results in severe impairment of memory. The individual will lose the ability to carry out routine activities. It may result in death because of severe dehydration, malnutrition, infections, and bedsores. Alzheimer’s has neither any cure nor any remedy to slow down or arrest the disease progression.

https://www.apollohospitals.com/diseases-and-conditions/arnold-chiari-malformation-types-causes-symptoms-and-treatment/Regular heartbeats occur because of internal electrical signals that cause the heart to contract and relax. This internal electrical system controls the rhythm and rate of our heartbeats. When that electrical system goes awry, your heart may either beat too fast, too slowly or irregularly. This heart rhythm irregularity is called an Arrhythmia, which can range from few skipped heartbeats that could mostly be a mere annoyance to a racing heart that may cause long-term damage to the heart or may even turn out to be life-threatening. These heart rhythm disturbances can be due to age, hypertension, heart attack, heart failure, thyroid and lung disease, etc. The most common symptoms include palpitation (fast beating), breathing difficulty, giddiness, unconsciousness or sudden death. Arrhythmia treatments can often control or eliminate fast, slow or irregular heartbeats. In addition, because troublesome heart arrhythmias are often made worse — or are even caused — by a weak or damaged heart, you may be able to reduce your arrhythmia risk by adopting a heart-healthy lifestyle. Types of Arrhythmias There are different types of Arrhythmias. Doctors have broadly classified arrhythmias not just according to the speed of heart rate, but also according to the chamber of the heart (atria or ventricles) in which they originate.: Types of arrhythmias include: Tachycardia This refers to faster heartbeats – resting heart rate more than 100 beats per minute. i) Tachycardias in atria(tachycardias originating in atria) include: a) Atrial fibrillation: It is a rapid heart rate due to chaotic electrical impulses in the atria. Atrial fibrillation is the most common arrhythmia in older people. It is linked to an increased risk of death and may lead to complicated conditions like stroke. b) Atrial flutter: Similar to atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter is also a rapid heart rate due to chaotic electrical impulses. But, in atrial flutter, the heartbeats are with more rhythmic electrical impulses and are more organized compared to atrial fibrillation. Atrial flutter may also lead to stroke and other serious complications c) Supraventricular tachycardia: This is a broad term that involves numerous forms of arrhythmia that originate above the ventricles (supraventricular) in the atria. The duration differs and is generally associated with a feeling of sudden rapid heartbeat. ii) Tachycardias in the ventricles(tachycardias originating in ventricles) include: a) Ventricular tachycardia (VT): Ventricular tachycardia is a fast, regular heart rate, which originates due to abnormal electrical signals in the heart’s ventricles. This is a life-threatening condition and therefore needs immediate treatment. b) Ventricular fibrillation: Ventricular fibrillation is a condition in which, the ventricles beat so rapidly that they are unable to pump blood to the heart, thus resulting in sudden death. It is predominant in people with weak hearts but may also affect those with normal hearts who may have genetic heart abnormalities such as long QT syndrome and Brugada Syndrome. Premature Heartbeats Generally, premature heartbeats are like a missed or skipped beat. Usually, they are harmless but if they recur frequently they may become a nuisance because of frequent symptoms and/or can lead to the weakening of the heart. Bradycardia Bradycardia is a condition that refers to a slower heartbeat that is less than 60 heart beats a minute at a resting condition. If you have a slower heart rate and if the heart is not pumping enough blood, you may have one of these bradycardias, including: i) Sinus node dysfunction: In this condition, the sinus node (the normal pacemaker of our heart), generates electrical current slowly resulting in heartbeat below 60 beats a minute. If this condition leads to symptoms like dizziness, weakness, loss of consciousness or fatigue, then treatment is required. ii) Conduction Block: This is a slow heartbeat caused by a block in the heart’s conduction pathways generally in the ventricles or near the AV (atrioventricular) node.

It is a new ray of hope for patients and offers a long-term chance of survival. Liver transplant has proven an effective treatment method for early-stage intrahepatic or perihilar bile duct cancers. What is the Bile Duct? Bile ducts are a network of long thin tubes that connects the liver to the gallbladder and small intestine. Bile duct carries bile, a yellow-greenish secretion produced by the liver. Bile contains salt and cholesterol which helps in digestion of our food. It also contains a waste product, known as bilirubin. What is Bile Duct cancer and what are the types of Bile Duct cancer? Bile duct cancer is also known as Cholangiocarcinomas; a rare disease which occurs in people above the age of 50. In Bile Duct cancer, the cancer cells (malignant) form in the bile duct and in some cases spread (metastasize) to other parts of the body as well. Cholangiocarcinomas are of the following types: Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma: Also known as a type of liver cancer, occurs in that part of the bile duct which is inside the liver. Hilar cholangiocarcinoma: Also known as perihilar cholangiocarcinoma, occurs in that part of the bile ducts that exit the liver. Distal cholangiocarcinoma: Distal cholangiocarcinoma occurs in that part of the bile duct that is nearest to the small intestine.

These cancer cells arise de novo (start from the beginning) and multiple aggressively to destroy the bone. The cancer cell may spread through blood circulation to multiple organs like the lung and may spread to other bones and tissues. These tumours grow to a large size and impair the function and may lead to death. Types of Bone Cancers Bone cancer is of different types based on the cell of origin. Common bone cancers may include: Osteosarcoma: In this type, the cancerous cells produce bone. It is also called as ‘Osteogenic Carcinoma’ because of the type of cells involved. Ewing’s Sarcoma: These tumours arise, most commonly, in the arms, legs or pelvis Both Osteosarcoma and Ewing’s sarcoma is more common in children between the ages of 5 to 20 years. Cancers like Multiple Myeloma, Chondrosarcoma are more common in late adult and old age. Cancer arising from any part of the body like breast, thyroid, lung etc. may secondarily spread to the bone and these are called as Secondary (or Metastatic) Bone Cancers.

https://www.apollohospitals.com/diseases-and-conditions/are-brain-aneurysms-dangerous-what-problems-do-they-cause/In the last hundred years, medicine has seen advances that have not been witnessed in human history. As a result, today we are healthier and live longer than at any time in the past. Diseases such as smallpox that have killed millions have now been completely eradicated, thanks to vaccinations and the dreaded scourge of tuberculosis are now treated successfully with antibiotics. Healthy eating and active lifestyles have contributed to lower morbidity and mortality from diabetes, heart attacks and stroke. In this very optimistic healthcare environment however, there remains an outlier- a disease which even now has an overtly grim outlook – primary brain cancer. Tumours of the brain can affect children and adults and are of several types. Tumours of the meninges, or the covering of the brain, are usually benign and is now completely curable by surgery. Tumours in children may be cancerous or benign but in general, have a far better prognosis than cancer that affects adults. In adults, however, tumours that start from glial cells (these are cells in the brain and support and nourish the nerve cells), also known as gliomas have, in general, a very poor outcome. Gliomas are graded on a scale of 1-4 depending on the ‘degree’ of malignancy and glioblastoma (Grade 4) is the most common and has the worst outcome. Glioblastomas affect 5 in 100,000 people, has a dismal median survival of 9-14 months with best available treatment. All is not lost, however, and the push to find a cure for this dreadful disease has never been greater than in the last 10 years. All cancers are caused by the unregulated proliferation of cells that bypass the checks and balances that usually exist to stop the uncontrolled multiplication of cells. This proliferation is usually triggered by a mutation (change) in the genetic code. The mutation may affect one gene (as seen in certain blood cancers) or many genes, as seen in brain and colon cancers.

https://www.apollohospitals.com/diseases-and-conditions/brain-lesions/Brain cancer or tumors is an abnormal growth of cells in the brain. Malignant tumors can grow and spread aggressively to distant parts of the body as well. Tumors that do not spread or invade nearby tissue are called benign. Benign tumors are less harmful as compared to malignant ones, but a benign tumor can cause problems in the brain by pressing on nearby tissue. Brain tumors that originate in brain cells are called primary brain tumors. The most common primary brain tumors are gliomas, meningiomas, pituitary adenomas, vestibular schwannomas, and primitive neuroectodermal tumors (medulloblastomas). The term glioma includes glioblastomas, astrocytomas, oligodendrogliomas, and ependymomas. Metastatic or secondary brain tumors spread to the brain from other tumors.

https://www.apollohospitals.com/diseases-and-conditions/brain-tumor/A brain tumour is an abnormal growth of cells (mass of unnecessary cells) in the brain, which upon enlargement exerts pressure on normal brain tissue and vital nerves inside the skull leading to a set of symptoms and signs. Brain tumours vary in terms of location, type of tissue involved and their degree of malignancy. There are two types of primary brain tumours: Benign Tumours (Non-cancerous, slow-growing or less aggressive) and Malignant Tumours (cancerous, fast-growing or more aggressive). Some of the brain tumours are schwannomas, meningiomas, pituitary acoustic neuromas, adenomas and gliomas. Brain tumours can be metastatic – secondary spread from cancers elsewhere in the body.

https://www.apollohospitals.com/diseases-and-conditions/breast-calcifications/Breast cancer is the second largest cancer occurring in Indian women. It has been estimated that 1 in 20 women will be affected by breast cancer sometime in their life. Breast cancer is a malignant tumour, which begins in the cells of the breast. It is found mostly in women, but men can also get affected. Breast Cancer Like all types of cancer, breast cancer is uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells. Breast cancer generally starts in a small, confined area in the glands that produce milk or the ducts that carry it to the nipple. This can grow bigger in the breast and spread through the bloodstream to the other organs or through lymphatic channels to nearby lymph nodes. The cancer may grow and attack tissue like the chest wall or skin around the breast. There are different types of breast cancer. And, they grow and spread at different rates. While some take years to spread outside the breast tissue, others grow and spread very fast.

Breast pain is also known as mastalgia (in medical terminology) may affect close to 70% of women in their lifetime. It is normal for women to have pain for 2-3 days before their menstrual period or may last for more than 5 days. It can be so bad it is not comfortable to wear a dress or to be hugged. Pain can be in one breast or both or maybe not related to periods at all. In about 8% of these women, the pain will be severe and interfere with their normal activities. Three main types of breast pain: Cyclical – pain is related to the menstrual period and may start before the onset of bleeding (premenstrual mastalgia). This may reduce with the onset of bleeding or may continue for the duration of periods. Non-cyclical – The pain does not change with the menstrual period. It may be there all the time or it may come and go without a pattern. Chest wall pain – This is not true breast pain but affects the muscles and other tissues beneath the breast.

https://www.apollohospitals.com/diseases-and-conditions/common-spine-problems-and-ways-to-deal-with-them/Heart block or AV Bundle Block is a disturbance in the heart’s electrical system. In heart block, your heart beats irregularly and very slowly, possibly stopping for about 20 seconds at a time. This can be because of an obstruction, disruption or delay along the pathway the electrical impulses travel through to make your heart beat. This condition can be due to damage or an injury to the heart valves or heart muscle. While heart block itself does not generally require direct treatment, the underlying related health conditions do. Normally, heart block causes palpitations, lightheadedness and fainting. There can be chest pain too. Depending on its severity, heart block can be dangerous. For example, a complete heart block (third-degree heart block) can make pre-existing conditions like heart failure even worse. It may lead to unconsciousness and even sudden cardiac arrest. What is Heart Block? Heart block is a disruption of the heart’s electrical impulses. A healthy person’s heart beats at around 60 – 100 times in a minute. A heartbeat means one contraction of the heart muscle that pushes blood around our body. Typically, heart muscle contractions are controlled by electrical impulses that travel from the heart’s upper chambers or the atria to the lower chambers or the ventricles. A partial heart block can occur when the electrical impulses are delayed or stopped partially, preventing regular beats of your heart. A complete heart block happens when the electrical signals are disrupted or stopped completely. This may result in a drop in your heartbeat to approximately 40 times a minute. Even changes to impulses for just a fraction of second can lead to heart block. At times, a heart block makes it hard for our heart to pump blood through our circulatory system properly. This results in a reduced supply of oxygen to our muscles and organs (including the brain), impairing their functions. Types of Heart Block Heart block is of three types, namely: First-degree heart block: Minor heartbeat disturbances like skipped heartbeats. First-degree heart block is not a very serious type of heart block and usually does not need treatment. Second-degree heart block: This happens when some electrical signals do not reach your heart, causing skipped or dropped heartbeats. You may feel giddy, and may also need a pacemaker. As the atrial impulse does not reach the ventricles, the ventricle may not contract. Complete heart block or third-degree heart block: This happens when electrical signals do not travel between the lower and upper chambers of our heart. Complete heart block is very common in heart disease patients. Individuals with complete heart block have a serious risk of a heart attack without a pacemaker. Complete Heart Block Complete heart block may result from the damage of the atrioventricular node (AV node) during surgery. However, sometimes it may also occur spontaneously, without surgery. To restore a normal heart rhythm or rate, an artificial pacemaker is needed.

https://www.apollohospitals.com/diseases-and-conditions/congenital-heart-disease/What are birth defects in the heart? Birth defects in the heart or Congenital Heart Diseases are a group of gross structural abnormality in the heart that is present at birth and manifest at any stage immediately after birth or during childhood. How common are Congenital Heart Diseases? Out of every 1000 new-born, about 8 neonates are born with Congenital Heart Diseases. As the most commonly occurring congenital disorder, Congenital Heart Disease is responsible for 28% of all congenital diseases. With this incidence, about 1.35million babies are born with Congenital Heart Disease every year globally. What are the types of Congenital Heart Disease? There are various types of congenital heart diseases but are broadly divided into two categories as cyanotic and acyanotic heart diseases. The babies with cyanotic heart diseases present with severe cyanosis (bluish discolouration of the body) and acyanotic presents without cyanosis. Acyanotic diseases represent almost 2/3rd of total congenital heart diseases.

https://www.apollohospitals.com/diseases-and-conditions/fat-embolism/Why is the liver important? The largest internal organ in the body, the liver is absolutely vital for survival. It has a lot of vital functions: Produces bile, a mixture of chemicals, which aids digestion. Helps break down food to turn it into energy. Removes harmful substances from the blood, helping fight infection. Makes chemicals that are important for blood clotting. Stores iron, vitamins, and other essential substances. What is Fatty Liver Disease? Accumulation of extra fat in the liver is called Fatty Liver Disease. Excessive drinking of alcohol is considered to be the most common cause of fatty liver. However, the fatty liver also occurs in patients who are teetotalers or drink very little alcohol. This is called Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD). Who is likely to have Fatty Liver? Fatty liver usually develops in people who are overweight, have diabetic diet, high cholesterol or high triglycerides. Poor eating habits with a diet rich in fats and sugars also cause fatty liver. Certain individuals develop a fatty liver even if they do not show any risk factors. It affects nearly 10 percent of the population.

https://www.apollohospitals.com/diseases-and-conditions/head-injury-treatment/Headache is one of the most common medical conditions that affect everyone at some point in their lives. The main symptom of a headache is a pain in the head or face that can be throbbing, constant, sharp, or dull. Doctors treat headache pain with medicines, stress management, and biofeedback. How common are headaches in adults? Headache is one of the most common conditions in the world that causes throbbing pain. About 75% of adults worldwide have a headache in a year. Headaches are a major reason for absenteeism from work and school. It also affects the social and family life of the patient. For some people, continuously battling headaches may result in anxiety and depression. Headache Types More than 150 different types of headaches fall into three main categories – primary headaches, secondary headaches, and cranial neuralgias. Primary Headaches – A primary headache is not a symptom of an underlying illness but a result of problems involving the head and neck structures. Stress and disruptions in sleep patterns are often the cause of these headaches. Secondary Headaches – Secondary headaches typically have an underlying illness associated with them, such as sinus headaches that occur when the pressure or infection in the sinuses increases. A migraine is one of the forms of headache with throbbing pain and typically occurs on one side of the head. It is often triggered by stress, hormones, sound, environment, and many other factors. Women are more commonly affected than men. If a headache persists for a prolonged time and is associated with symptoms such as neck stiffness, fever, vomiting, vision changes, changes in sensations on one side of the body. In that case, it may be due to the development of serious infections. 3. Cranial Neuralgia’s: The pain that occurs in the face and other headaches include rebound headaches. When a person overuses medication then the patient experiences rebound headaches. It occurs when frequent use of pain medications leads to persistent headaches. Types of primary and secondary headaches: The common types of primary headaches include: Cluster headaches – these headaches generally last between 15 minutes and 3 hours and may occur one to eight times a day. They may frequently arise for 4–12 weeks and then disappear. Cluster headaches tend to occur at around the same time each day. Migraine – migraine is a headache that might cause severe throbbing pain or a pulsing sensation, generally on one side of the head. New daily persistent headaches (NDPH) begin suddenly and last for more than three months. It generally occurs in people with infrequent headaches before the onset of NDPH. Tension headaches –cause mild to moderate pain and frequently occur over time. Certain types of secondary headaches include: Medication overuse headaches – also known as rebound headaches, it occurs in people who take medications to treat their headaches frequently. Sinus headaches – are caused due to a sinus infection that leads to congestion and inflammation in the sinuses. Spinal headaches – are caused due to low pressure or volume of cerebrospinal fluid. It is due to the spontaneous cerebrospinal fluid leak, spinal tap, or spinal anaesthesia. Thunderclap headaches – are excruciating and begin suddenly. Thunderclap headaches cause intense pain within 1 minute and last at least 5 minutes. Are headaches hereditary? Headaches tend to run in families, particularly migraines. Children suffering from migraines have at least one parent who also has them. Children whose parents suffer from migraines are up to four times more likely to develop them too. Headaches can also be triggered due to factors that are shared in a household, like: The consumption of certain foods or ingredients, like caffeine, alcohol, fermented foods, chocolate and cheese Passive smoking Exposure to allergens Strong odours from perfumes or household chemicals

https://www.apollohospitals.com/diseases-and-conditions/heart-and-chest-pain-causes-symptoms/Heart attack is a raging topic in India as we Indians are genetically prone to coronary artery disease. The public perception is to label any issue of the heart as a “heart attack”. Heart disease that afflicts children is quite different from that of adults and most of these conditions can be permanently rectified. The heart primarily consists of 4 chambers and 2 major pipes feeding the right heart and 4 traversing back to the left heart. There are 4 valves. A major pipe exits from each major chamber (ventricle). A baby could be born with one or more of several heart diseases – holes with or without obstruction to pathways and valves, leaky valves, twisted pathways and pipes misdirected and underdeveloped chambers! The paediatric heart surgeon is thus faced with a myriad of presentations and many challenges to overcome. The last decade has seen a tremendous surge in the volume of paediatric cardiac surgeries with a noticeable increase in complexity of cases. The results are excellent due to a team-oriented multi-disciplinary approach of surgeons, cardiologists, anaesthetists, intensivists, perfusionists, nurses and paramedical staff.

https://www.apollohospitals.com/diseases-and-conditions/heart-failure/The human heart beats around 100,000 times in a day and pumps about 5,000 gallons of blood through our body every day. Heart transplant surgery is reserved for those patients who did not respond to any other treatment or surgery. Heart transplant rejection occurs due to our defense mechanism which deals with the transplanted heart just like it opposes any virus or bacteria. The rejection can be handled with immunosuppressive medication, which one has to take lifelong. The dosage will be altered by the doctor as and when required. One should be aware of the signs of organ rejection in a heart transplant, to enable early management. What is heart transplant and why do you need a heart transplant? A heart transplant is a major surgery in which a failing or diseased heart is replaced with a healthy donor’s heart. In a heart transplant, the donor’s heart is procured from a person who is dead or declared brain dead. A patient is recommended for a heart transplant due to heart failure which is not responding to any other treatment options. Causes of heart failure in adults are due to: Cardiomyopathy, in which the heart muscles become weak, further leading to heart failure. Coronary Artery Disease (CAD), narrowing or blockage of coronary arteries due to build-up of fatty deposits or cholesterol. Heart valve not working properly. Abnormal heartbeats, which is not getting cured with any other treatment. Congenital heart defect (birth defect) Previous heart transplant failure. Causes of heart failure in children are due to: Congenital heart defect (birth defect) Cardiomyopathy What is heart transplant rejection? What are the types of heart rejection? The immune system of the human body seeks and destroys bacteria and viruses to keep us healthy. Unfortunately, the immune system considers the donor’s heart as a foreign substance and tries to attack it, which is known as heart transplant rejection. The first year of transplant is considered very critical from an organ rejection point of view. Post-transplant your doctor will prescribe medicines, which help prevent heart rejection and you will be continuously monitored for any rejection symptoms. Types of heart rejection: Acute Cellular Rejection: Acute Cellular Rejection is the most common form of heart transplant rejection which usually occurs in the first 3 to 6 months of a heart transplant. It is caused due to T-cells (which is part of our immune system) attacking the cells of a donor’s heart. Humoral Rejection: Humoral Rejection is generally seen after several months or years of a heart transplant, however, there are chances of its occurrence during the first month of the transplant. In this type of rejection, the antibodies damage the blood vessels in our body and in some cases coronary arteries are also damaged, hence affecting the blood flow to the heart. It is also known as acute antibody rejection. Coronary Artery Vasculopathy: This form of heart rejection affects the coronary arteries by thickening of the inner lining of blood vessels which will further reduce the blood flow to the heart. Coronary artery vasculopathy occurs in the long-term.

https://www.apollohospitals.com/diseases-and-conditions/heart-transplant-rejection/Heartburn is that burning sensation in our throat or chest that occurs when stomach acid rises up from our stomach into the mouth. Heartburn is a common symptom of Gastro-Esophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) also called Acid Reflux. Heartburn is generally triggered by your diet. Heavy or fatty or spicy food can cause heartburn or acid reflux. Alcohol coffee, carbonated drinks, chocolate, and tomatoes can also cause heartburn. Smoking Obesity and medications for hypertension and cancer are the causes of heartburn too. What is Heartburn? Heartburn is a burning pain felt often in the lower chest or upper abdomen and has nothing to do with your heart. It happens when stomach acid or food rises up into your food pipe, a pipe that connects your throat to your stomach. Most people experience heartburn frequently, especially after having a large meal or some fried or fatty foods, foods like chocolate or alcohol. Heartburn is also common in women during pregnancy as the uterus grows to put pressure on the stomach.

These blood vessels act as shock absorbers for defecation throughout the body. This causes hemorrhoids, which are one of the leading causes of rectal bleeding. What Is Piles? The word hemorrhoid is derived from the Greek word “hemorrhoids,” meaning veins liable to discharge blood. It is commonly seen in the age group of 45-65 years. Piles are hemorrhoids swollen inside and around the lining of your buttocks or anal lining. They usually get better on their own after a few days. There are several ways for the prevention and treatment of hemorrhoids. The question remains, what causes piles? There are many reasons for hemorrhoids, which increase the pressure on the blood vessels that supply the anus and rectum, causing them to swell. Also Read About: Solitary Rectal Ulcer Syndrome The cause of hemorrhoids is unknown. A few factors that cause hemorrhoids are constipation, the increased pressure on the blood vessels during pregnancy and sustained weight gain, persistent diarrhea and prolonged sitting on the toilet, straining to lift heavy objects. They may reduce within 1-2 weeks, but if persistent symptoms like rectal bleeding occur, a physician must be consulted immediately. Itching and discomfort can also be seen in a few patients. Typically it is not always associated with symptoms like pain and rectal bleeding.

Helps break down food to turn it into energy. Removes harmful substances from the blood, helping fight infection. Makes chemicals that are important for blood clotting. Stores iron, vitamins and other essential substances What is Hepatitis B? A viral infection of the liver, Hepatitis B is caused by HBV (Hepatitis B virus). It causes swelling of the liver and inflammation (acute hepatitis) and prevents the liver from working well. It may persist in the liver causing chronic hepatitis, and over many years can lead to cirrhosis (scarring) of the liver, liver cancer, and liver failure. How does one get Hepatitis B? The Hepatitis B virus is spread by contact with blood or other infectious body fluids. Adults get Hepatitis B through infected blood transfusion, contaminated needles and sexual transmission from a Hepatitis B infected partner. Usually, children get Hepatitis B from their mother during childbirth. Hepatitis B virus does not spread by water, air or food. Who is at risk of having Hepatitis B? Hepatitis B is very common. About 2 to 3 percent of people in Asia have chronic Hepatitis B infection. Certain practices like reuse of needles and syringes in hospitals and clinics in the past, tattooing using unclean and contaminated needles, unregulated and unsafe blood transfusion have increased the risk of transmission of Hepatitis B. In view of the high prevalence of Hepatitis B, it is recommended that everyone should get tested for Hepatitis B infection by doing a simple blood test.

The gland is present around the windpipe (trachea) & it has a shape similar to a butterfly – formed by two wings (lobes) & attached by a middle part (isthmus). The thyroid gland produces thyroid hormones by using iodine & most of it is available from the diet through foods like bread, seafood & salt. The two thyroid hormones that are produced by thyroid gland are thyroxine-tetra-iodothyronine or T4 & tri-iodothyronine or T3. T3 accounts for 1% & T4 accounts for 99% of thyroid hormones. Both are released into the blood after being secreted by the thyroid gland. The most biologically active form of hormone is T3. Once T4 is released into the blood from the thyroid gland, T4 is converted into T3, & this active hormone affects the metabolism of cells. When thyroid hormone production slows down, the body’s processes also slow down & change. Hypothyroidism will affect various systems of the body. Hypothyroidism or underactive thyroid is a condition in which the thyroid gland will not produce enough of thyroid hormones. Women, above 60 years of age, usually end up with hypothyroidism. Hypothyroidism causes an imbalance of chemical reactions in the body. If enough thyroid hormone is not produced in the bloodstream, the body’s metabolism slows down. Typical signs of an underactive thyroid are tiredness, weight gain & a feeling of depression. In the early stages, its symptoms are rare, but if left untreated, hypothyroidism leads to a number of health-related problems like heart disease, obesity, joint pain, infertility. It is a quite common condition affecting all age groups & races. However, women, especially older women are more prone to develop hypothyroidism than men. Thyroid function tests help to diagnose hypothyroidism. Treatment with synthetic thyroid hormone is usually simple, safe & effective. There are no preventive measures for an underactive thyroid. An underactive thyroid is either caused due to the immune system attacking the thyroid gland & causing damage to it or by damage to the thyroid that occurs during some treatments for an overactive thyroid or thyroid cancer. Both men & women can be affected by an underactive thyroid, but it is most common in women. In the western countries, it affects fifteen in every thousand women & one in a thousand men. Children can also develop an underactive thyroid. Around one in 3,500-4,000 babies are born with an underactive thyroid known as congenital hypothyroidism. The babies are screened for congenital hypothyroidism by taking blood spot test when the baby is about five days old.

It affects millions of people across the world. The National Institute of Health estimates that nearly 30% of world population suffers sleep disruption and nearly 10% among them have daytime sleeping. What is Insomnia? Insomnia can impair psychosocial functioning and quality of life. Getting enough sleep is an important aspect of healthy lifestyle. An adult person needs at least 7 to 8 hours of sleep in a day. However, sleep patterns change with age. For instance, older adults may sleep less at night and take frequent naps during the day. Lack of sleep makes a person feel tired, depressed, and irritable. It also decreases concentration and reduces the ability of a person to perform his or her daily activities. Insomnia is associated with mood swings, irritability, and anxiety. It also increases the blood pressure and risk of chronic diseases such as diabetes. Every person experiences occasional episodes of insomnia that come and go without causing any serious problems. But, for some people, the episodes of insomnia last for months or years and have a significant impact on the quality of life. Insomnia is primarily diagnosed based on the sleep history of a patient. Polysomnography is a type of sleep study, which is performed only in patients with sleep disorders such as periodic limb movement disorder (PLMB) or obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The treatment for insomnia includes a combination of medications, behavioral or psychological therapies, and lifestyle modification.

The word Jaundice is derived from a French word called “jaunisse”, meaning “yellow disease”. The yellowish discolouration is due to Bilirubin (a fluid secreted by the liver). Breakdown of RBC’s, leads to the formation of Bilirubin in our body. Bilirubin is normally metabolized in the liver and excreted in the bile from our body. The disruption in the metabolism, production or excretion of Bilirubin leads to deposits of an excess amount of bile in the body, causing Jaundice. Due to their high elastin content, the white of the eye has a particular affinity towards Bilirubin. Serum bilirubin would be at least 3 mg/dL in scleral icterus.

Is liver tumor different from liver cancer? Any node or mass inside the liver is called a liver tumor. Liver tumors can be non-cancerous (benign) or cancerous (malignant). The most common type of cancer that originates in the liver is known as Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC).

https://www.apollohospitals.com/diseases-and-conditions/liver-cancer-answers-to-commonly-asked-questions/The liver is the largest organ within the human body. It has many vital functions. It produces bile, a mixture of chemicals, which helps in digestion and also helps in breaking down food to convert it into energy. It also removes harmful substances from the blood and helps in fighting infection. It makes chemicals that are important for blood clotting. It stores iron, vitamins and other essential substances. The liver is necessary for survival and there is currently no way that a person can survive without the liver. What is cirrhosis? The normal liver has a smooth surface and is soft in consistency. Cirrhosis is a condition where the liver is scarred – replacing the soft healthy tissue with hard scar tissue. Liver functions become difficult as cirrhosis becomes worse. What causes cirrhosis? Chronic, long-term liver diseases that damage the liver causes Cirrhosis. Generally, it takes many years for liver damage to lead to cirrhosis. Common causes of cirrhosis are alcohol, Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, fatty liver disease and certain genetic diseases. How does alcohol damage the liver? Chronic alcohol use is the leading cause of cirrhosis in India. Excessive alcohol causes the liver to get inflamed, which over time, can lead to cirrhosis. Even small quantities of alcohol, if taken over a prolonged period of time, can lead to significant liver damage.

The largest internal organ in the body, the liver is absolutely vital for survival. It has a lot of vital functions: Produces bile, a mixture of chemicals, which aids digestion. Helps break down food to turn it into energy. Removes harmful substances from the blood, helping fight infection. Makes chemicals that are important for blood clotting. Stores iron, vitamins, and other essential substances. Liver failure occurs when large parts of the liver become damaged beyond repair and the liver is no longer able to function. Liver failure is a life-threatening condition that demands urgent medical care. Most often, liver failure occurs gradually and over many years. However, a more rare condition known as acute liver failure occurs rapidly (in as little as 48 hours) and can be difficult to detect initially.

https://www.apollohospitals.com/diseases-and-conditions/lysosomal-storage-diseases-types-causes-symptoms-diagnosis-and-reatment/Malaria is a life-threatening disease transmitted by a mosquito bite. The causative organism is a parasite called Plasmodium. While the disease is rare in temperate climates, malaria is still prevalent in tropical & subtropical countries. It is transmitted to humans by the bite of the Anopheles mosquito. There are five different types of malaria-causing parasites that can affect humans. When the mosquito bites, the parasite is released into the bloodstream. Inside the body, parasites travel to the liver, where they develop and mature. After several days, the mature parasites enter the bloodstream & begin to infect RBC’s. In 48 to 72 hours, the parasites grow inside the RBC’s, causing the infected cells to burst open. The parasites continue to infect other RBC’s, resulting in symptoms that occur in cycles that last two to three days at a time. These symptoms include recurrent attacks of chills & fever. In rare situations, malaria is transmitted from the mother to the unborn child during pregnancy, by blood transfusions, or when intravenous-drug users share needles. Worldwide approximately 6,60,000 are killed due to malaria each year. The increase in international travel and migration of population, the risk has increased in areas where it does not commonly occur. It is very common in developing countries, areas with high humidity & moderate temperatures. These include parts of Central & South America, Haiti, The Dominican Republic, Africa, Eastern Europe, and South & Southeast Asia. The deadliest types of malaria are more common in Africa. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), each year 300-500 million cases of malaria occur & more than 1 million people die of malaria, particularly in developing countries. Most of the deaths are of young children. In Africa, a child dies from malaria every 30 seconds. Because malaria causes severe illness & death, the disease causes a drain on national economies. The disease maintains a vicious cycle of disease & poverty in the poorer nations.

https://www.apollohospitals.com/diseases-and-conditions/marburg-virus-disease-mvd-transmission-symptoms-prevention-treatment/Measles or rubeola is a viral infection that affects the respiratory system. Measles is a very contagious disease can spread through contact with infected mucus or saliva. An infected person can release the infection into the atmosphere through their cough or sneeze. The measles virus can live on surfaces for several hours. When the infected particles enter the air & settle on surfaces, anyone nearby can get infected. Drinking from an infected person’s glass or sharing eating utensils with an infected person increases your risk of infection. Measles is also a cause of death among children. Of the 114,900 global deaths related to measles in 2014, the World Health Organization (WHO) reported that the majority were below the age of 5. The number of measles cases in the US has significantly dropped in recent years due to immunizations. However, the disease has not been fully eliminated. There were 189 cases of measles in 2015, according to the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC). If the person has any doubt of having measles, he must contact the doctor immediately. If the person has not received a measles vaccine & has contact with an infected person, visit the doctor to get measles vaccine within 72 hours of contact to prevent infection. The person can also prevent infection if immunoglobulin is taken within six days of contact with an infected person.

https://www.apollohospitals.com/diseases-and-conditions/microcephaly-symptoms-diagnosis-risk-factors-and-treatment/A migraine is a neurological condition or disorder which is characterized by severe headaches, usually giving a throbbing or pulsating feeling on either one or both sides of one’s head. The headache will be accompanied by symptoms like nausea, vomiting, speaking difficulties, numbness or tingling, and light and sound sensitivity. Studies say that Migraine is the sixth most disabling disease in the world. It could be genetic and can affect people of almost all ages. In young children, migraine goes undiagnosed as it is misunderstood to be a common headache or weakness. The duration of migraine varies between individuals. Most of the attacks last for a minimum of 4 hours. If an attack of a migraine lasts longer than three days, it has to be treated in a hospital setting. What does Migraine feel like? Migraine feels different to different people A one-sided headache Pulsating or throbbing pain Moderate to severe pain Worsening of pain during movement (walking, climbing stairs) Sensitivity to sound and light Nausea with or without vomiting or diarrhea Migraine usually lasts for about four hours. If they are not treated it can last for a week. What are the types of Migraines? Classic Migraine/Migraine with Aura: This occurs with specific warning signs before the attack begins. It is seen in 25% of people with migraine. It is also termed a complicated migraine. An aura is the initial phase of the migraine attack accompanied by distinct symptoms like flashing lights, loss of vision, dizziness, confusion, and weakness. Migraine without aura: This occurs without any warning signs and is the most common type. Migraine without headache: The symptoms of aura occur but the person does not develop a headache. This is also known as silent migraine. Hemiplegic migraine: The onset of this kind of migraine is marked by hemiplegia or temporary paralysis. The person can experience temporary numbness, weakness, tingling sensation, or dizziness. Retinal Migraine: Also called ocular migraine. The person may feel a partial or complete loss of vision in one of the eyes, which can last from a few minutes to a few months, in worst cases. It is imperative to approach a doctor if one is experiencing this. Chronic Migraine: A chronic migraine is one that occurs 10 to 15 days a month. The severity of pain may differ on different days. Migraine with brainstem aura: This migraine shows symptoms like slurred speech, loss of balance, and double vision before the onset of the headache. Usually, the headache appears on the backside of one’s head and with an inability to speak properly. Status migrainosus: This is a relatively rare migraine that lasts for more than 72 hours with extremely bad nausea and headache. This migraine is usually caused by some medications or as a withdrawal effect of medications. What is an Aura? Aura refers to a set of symptoms or warning signals which can occur before the onset of a migraine. These can be sensory, motor, or speech symptoms which can last for 10 to 60 minutes. Aura symptoms include blind spots in vision, speech changes, temporary loss of vision, changes in smell or taste, tingling sensation etc. Studies report that aura symptoms are experienced by 15 to 20 percent of people with migraines and are reversible/ be healed.

https://www.apollohospitals.com/diseases-and-conditions/pediatric-brain-tumor-causes-symptoms-and-treatment/In India, out of every one million population, 150 children are diagnosed with cancer every year. Cancers affecting children are of a unique kind. Leukemia, cancer of bone marrow and blood, is the most common cancer that accounts for approximately 30 percent of all cancers in children. Common symptoms include fatigue, bone, and joint pain, weakness, bleeding or bruising, pale skin, weight loss, fever amongst others. Types of Cancers in Children Brain and CNS (Central Nervous System) tumors account for about 26 percent of childhood cancers. Headaches, nausea, vomiting, blurred or double vision, dizziness, trouble walking or handling objects are common symptoms of these cancers. Neuroblastoma affects infants and young children and starts in the early forms of nerve cells in a developing embryo or fetus. Wilms tumor (nephroblastoma) starts in one or rarely both kidneys. It is most often found in children between 3 to 4 years of age. Lymphomas start in certain cells of the immune system called lymphocytes. They can cause weight loss, fever, sweating, tiredness and swollen lymph nodes under the skin in the neck, armpit, or groin. Rhabdomyosarcoma starts in cells, which usually turn out to become skeletal muscles. It accounts for about 3% of childhood cancers. Retinoblastoma is a cancer of the eye. It accounts for about 2% of childhood cancers. Primary bone cancers (cancers that start in our bones) most often occur in older children and teens, but can also develop at any age. They account for about 3% of childhood cancers.

https://www.apollohospitals.com/diseases-and-conditions/plantar-warts/Pneumonia is a lung infection that causes the air sacs in one or both lungs to become inflamed. Cough with phlegm or pus, fever, chills, and trouble breathing can occur when the air sacs fill with fluid or pus (purulent material). Pneumonia can be caused by a variety of species, including bacteria, viruses, and fungus. Pneumonia, both viral and bacterial, is contagious. This means that they can be passed from person to person by inhaling airborne droplets from a sneeze or cough. These types of pneumonia can also be contracted by coming into touch with surfaces or items contaminated with pneumonia-causing bacteria or viruses. Fungal pneumonia can be contracted from the environment. It does not pass from one person to the next. Pneumonia is further divided into categories based on how or where it was acquired: Hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP) – This kind of bacterial pneumonia is contracted while in the hospital. Because the bacteria implicated may be more resistant to drugs than other varieties, it can be more dangerous. Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) – Pneumonia obtained outside of a medical or institutional setting is referred to as this. Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) – VAP is a type of pneumonia that affects patients who use a ventilator. Aspiration pneumonia – Aspiration pneumonia is caused by inhaling microorganisms from food, drink, or saliva into your lungs. If you have a swallowing difficulty or are excessively sedated from the use of medications, alcohol, or other drugs, it’s more likely to happen. Walking pneumonia Walking pneumonia is a type of pneumonia that is less severe. Walking pneumonia patients may be unaware that they have the disease. It’s possible that their symptoms are more akin to a minor respiratory illness than pneumonia. Walking pneumonia, on the other hand, may necessitate a lengthier recuperation time. The following are some of the symptoms of walking pneumonia: a low-grade fever a dry cough that lasts more than a week chills Breathing problems chest discomfort decreased appetite Pneumonia is commonly caused by viruses and bacteria such as Streptococcus pneumoniae and Haemophilus influenzae. Walking pneumonia, on the other hand, is most usually caused by the bacteria Mycoplasma pneumoniae. Stages of pneumonia Pneumonia can be characterized according to the part of the lungs it affects: Bronchopneumonia – Bronchopneumonia can damage portions of your lungs on both sides. It’s usually seen at or around your bronchi. The tubes that connect your windpipe to your lungs are known as bronchioles. Lobar pneumonia – One or more lobes of your lungs are affected by lobar pneumonia. Lungs are divided into lobes, which are distinct regions of the lung. Based on how far illness has progressed, lobar pneumonia can be categorized into four stages: Congestion – The lungs appear thick and clogged. Infectious organisms have accumulated in the fluid that has accumulated in the air sacs. Red Hepatization – The fluid has been contaminated with red blood cells and immune cells. The lungs appear red and solid as a result of this. Gray hepatization – It is a term used to describe the process of a person’ Red blood cells are starting to break down, but immune cells are still present. The hue of red blood cells changes from red to grey as they break down. Resolution – The infection is being cleared by immune cells. A productive cough aids in the ejection of any remaining liquid from the lungs.

https://www.apollohospitals.com/diseases-and-conditions/prolapsed-hemorrhoids-symptoms-causes-and-treatment/You may have heard about prostate glands, Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) tests and screening guidelines without giving them much thought. When it comes to prostate cancer prevention, it is time to do more than just listen. Prostate cancer is one of the highest prevalent cancers in India. While it typically affects men over 65 years, however, of late, there have been reports of an increasing number of younger men (between the age group of 35 – 44 and 55-64) residing in metropolitan cities suffering from prostate cancer. In the initial stages, Prostate cancer often goes unnoticed as symptoms may include burning sensation during urination, increased frequency of urination and difficulty in passing urine. A few major contributing factors identified towards an increased incidence of Prostate cancer are improper diet, obesity, genetic alterations and old age. What is a Prostate Gland? The prostate is a walnut-shaped, exocrine gland( Glands which produce secretions) in men located at the base of the bladder. It is a part of the male reproductive system. The prostate produces fluid that nourishes and moves sperms on their journey to fuse with a female egg, to beget human life. It is the prostate that contracts and forces the semen out during orgasm. In addition, urethra, a tube through which urine and sperm exit the body, also passes through the prostate gland (the median lobe). Therefore, an enlarged prostate (because of benign or malignant changes) affects the flow of urine. It can constrict and limit the flow of urine through the urethra (as it passes through the median lobe and median and lateral lobes of the Prostate are most affected by benign/ malignant changes in the gland) because of physical effects.

https://www.apollohospitals.com/diseases-and-conditions/schizoid-personality-disorder-symptoms-causes-and-diagnosis/Schizophrenia is a mental illness characterized by abnormal social behaviour and inability to understand reality. Symptoms of schizophrenia include confused thinking, hallucinations, false beliefs, lack of motivation and decreased social life. Mental health issues like anxiety and depression are common in individuals with schizophrenia. Often, schizophrenic patients are prone to substance abuse. A person who is schizophrenic has confusing thoughts, see images of things that are not there, hear sounds which are not present in reality and lose touch with reality. It is a common disorder that can attack anyone and at any age. Schizophrenia is a chronic mental disorder and requires lifelong treatment. A person who is schizophrenic might experience the symptoms in episodes or constantly. The causes include environmental factors as well as genetic factors. Environmental factors like being raised in a city, use of drugs like cannabis during adolescence, the presence of infections, parental age, nutrition deficit during pregnancy, etc. play a major role. A variety of genetic factors and family history also cause schizophrenia. A few social factors like long-term unemployment and poverty also play a role in schizophrenia. As per many statistical reports of 2017, about 1% of the general population has schizophrenia. On average, males are more prone to schizophrenia than females and they are also likely to experience symptoms more severe than females. Most patients do not recover completely. About 20% of cases that seek help are likely to do well. Patients suffering from schizophrenia tend to have an increased chance of developing other health issues. The life expectancy of such patients is 10 – 25 years lesser than the general population. Suicide rates among these individuals are about 5% higher than the general population. People usually misinterpret schizophrenia to split personality disorder, which is a different type of mental illness. The split personality disorder is a rare illness compared to schizophrenia, which is common. A normal individual may show signs and symptoms of schizophrenia but he cannot be regarded as a schizophrenic patient unless such symptoms last for a minimum period of 6 months. Sometimes, it is likely for a person to experience an episode of schizophrenia due to a sudden and unacceptable change in life. However, when certain phases pass, they recover from it and would not experience such episodes again. Stress can trigger or worsen schizophrenia but studies prove that stress alone is not the cause of schizophrenia.

https://www.apollohospitals.com/diseases-and-conditions/schizotypal-personality-disorder-causes-symptoms-and-treatment/Scoliosis is a condition which is characterized by a curve in your spine. The angle of the curve determines whether the condition is mild or severe. If your spine is curved more than 10 degrees, it is classified as Scoliosis. The curvature of the spine is identified by doctors as C shaped or S-shaped, depending on the angle of the curve. Scoliosis can be observed in people by the way they stand. People with scoliosis have their hips uneven. They may lean on one side while standing and may have uneven shoulders. The very first symptom of scoliosis is usually spotted during puberty or when there is a growth spurt. Scoliosis may occur as a complication of muscular dystrophy or cerebral palsy. Mostly the cases of Scoliosis in children are mild when they appear. However, depending on the angle of the curve, some kids develop severe scoliosis. The curve in the spine can worsen as they grow older. Severe bend in the spine will leave little room in the chest for the proper functioning of the lungs. This can lead to complications such as impaired lung function. Children who are diagnosed with mild scoliosis have to be carefully monitored regularly to check for any increase in the bend of the spinal cord. Most mild cases don’t require any treatment, however, regular X-rays are done to keep scoliosis in check. Children with mild scoliosis are required to wear braces to stop the bend from increasing. Few cases that show severe symptoms may require surgical intervention.

https://www.apollohospitals.com/diseases-and-conditions/somnambulism-sleepwalking/Spinal cord injury can be one of the most perilous injuries that can happen to a person. Depending upon its location and completeness, spinal cord injury may lead to paralysis and can even be life-threatening. Injuries in the cervical spine of the spinal cord are the most severe and can lead to complete tetraplegia. Tetraplegia, also called quadriplegia, is paralysis caused by injury or disease that results in partial or total loss of use of all four limbs including the torso. What is a Spinal Cord? The spinal cord is the most important and integral part of the brain and the central nervous system. It is a bunch of nerves, which extends from the medulla oblongata (a long stem-like structure located in the brainstem) and is entrenched around by the vertebrae, stacked one above the other, forming the backbone. The spinal cord, responsible for transmitting impulses to and from the brain, begins at the occipital bone (the back and base of the skull) and goes all the way down to a region between the first and second lumbar vertebrae. The spine is responsible for a variety functions including movements, controls and stimuli – the perception of pain, ability to move, and control of bodily functions. Therefore, any injury to the spine can have both immediate and long term effects on an individual. Typically, any severe injury will cause loss of mobility and sensation downwards from the point of injury on the spine.

https://www.apollohospitals.com/diseases-and-conditions/stress-types-symptoms-causes-effects-management/A stroke also referred to as a cerebral vascular accident is found to be the fourth leading cause of death worldwide. It occurs when the blood supply to the brain has been disrupted. Blockage of blood supply by a clot may occur in the artery and in other cases there can be bleeding into the brain tissue. The treatment for stroke must be administered immediately because the window of opportunity for treating stroke patients is only three hours. A person having the stroke should be taken to the hospital within 60 minutes, to prevent further Headache treatment disability. That’s why it is important for all of us to know warning signs of stroke and how to act in case of this medical emergency.

https://www.apollohospitals.com/diseases-and-conditions/twin-pregnancy-symptoms-complications-factors-and-diagnosis/Muscle twitches are tiny involuntary movements involving small areas of muscle or muscle fibers. These twitches often go unnoticed & when you do feel them, they tend to feel worse & more noticeable than they truly are. Twitches, also known as fasciculations, can occur in the arms, feet, fingers, hands, head, legs, stomach & other parts of the body. Twitches can also happen in the eye muscles. Muscle twitches are usually harmless & are more of an irritation than a problem for concern. In most cases, they disappear quickly after they appear or when the underlying cause is observed. In rare cases, however, muscle twitching can be a sign of a neurological disorder. If your child is suffering from muscle twitching, it can be very uncomfortable & nerve-wracking for you as a parent. However, identifying the exact cause of muscle twitching can be extremely helpful in making sure your child gets the correct treatment. Although it is not common for a child’s muscles to twitch involuntarily, it does happen. Children can also suffer from a benign & diet deficient twitches, just like adults.

Defined as swollen and distended veins, varicose veins usually occur in the legs. While varicose veins can occur anywhere in the body, this is seen most commonly in legs. That is because standing and walking upright increases the pressure in the veins of your lower body. Varicose veins occur most often in people aged 30yrs and above.

https://www.apollohospitals.com/diseases-and-conditions/vertical-transmission-an-overview/Vertigo is a condition that makes the person feel that themselves or the environment around is moving or spinning. It varies from dizziness in that vertigo represents an illusion of movement. When the subject feels that they themselves are moving, it is called subjective vertigo. The perception that surroundings are moving, it is called objective vertigo. Unlike nonspecific lightheadedness or dizziness, vertigo has relatively few causes. Vertigo can be caused by the problems in the brain or the inner ear. These include swelling within the inner ear due to a viral/bacterial infection, Meniere’s disease, tumors, decreased blood flow to the base of the brain, multiple sclerosis, head & neck injury,migraine (headaches), or complications from diabetes. Symptoms of vertigo include a sensation of disorientation or motion, which may be accompanied by nausea or vomiting, sweating, or abnormal eye movements. Other symptoms of vertigo may include hearing loss, a ringing sound in the ears, visual changes, weakness, difficulty in speaking, a decreased level of consciousness, & difficulty walking. Vertigo can be diagnosed by a medical history & physical exam. CT scans, blood tests, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), & electrocardiogram (ECG) may also be performed depending on the suspected cause. Treatment for vertigo includes medications & physical therapy procedures. The diagnosis of vertigo depends on the cause. Some cases of vertigo are self-limiting, while others require drugs & physical therapy.
