<div style="text-align: justify;">
Conceiving a child and becoming a parent is a beautiful feeling. However, not all couples are blessed with this gift. The problem of infertility is experienced as a stressful situation by individuals and couples all around the world. This includes both societal repercussions and personal suffering. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.giftivf.com/blog/advanced-treatment-for-infertility" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="349" data-original-width="510" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiD-60o-Ta57MHf0dhQERipScMVrAqVo0LLjKWv8ym3vF5XPHjFmb214tctSYwL_ERSNJE_s76Ynk6Wds2EuXK6X4O0gBcdH5rN-9ObqtLRyDSyeSf2C6hycr3aODr_C0LNAHrTnr_TwvY/s1600/infertility-treatment.png" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Psychological effects on women</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Women always have a strong desire for motherhood. Failing to achieve this wish can have a significant influence on their minds and can cause stress. Stress eventually results in imbalances in the hormonal level, such as elevated prolactin levels, disruption of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, and thyroid dysfunction. These hormonal imbalances gradually affect the menstrual cycle. In some circumstances, this will affect ovulation or ovulation that does not occur, and fertilization cannot take place.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Psychological effects on men</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Psychological effects of the inability to conceive do not limit only in women. Men carry a more substantial psychological stigma than females. Men are very hesitant to open up as they fear the title ‘unmanly.’ And therefore, they suffer in silence. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Being able to get their partner pregnant is often considered or defined as a sign of manhood. Being infertile can steal that title from a man and will leave him feeling emasculated. Thus male infertility is always stressful.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Psychological Outcomes of infertility</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As a result of being unable to conceive over a long period can push the couples down into emotional and psychological imbalances. They might experience symptoms such as:</div>
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li style="text-align: justify;"> Loss of interest in normal activities</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"> Depression </li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"> Strained interpersonal relationships</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"> Constant worry about infertility</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"> High levels of anxiety</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"> Difficulty concentrating</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"> Difficulty falling asleep</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"> Sleeping more than usual</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"> Change in appetite or weight</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"> Increased use of drugs or alcohol</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"> Thoughts about death or suicide</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"> Social isolation</li>
</ul>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Impact on a relationship</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Infertility can hurt the relationship as well. The stress that evolves as a result of infertility can provide rejections and sadness. Lower success in infertility treatments can also cause anxiety and depression, which can negatively affect the relationship. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Studies show that couples who are relaxed and free seem to get pregnant easily with assisted reproductive techniques than those who are under pressure and stressed.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Solution</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
One thing that couples should remember is that all these emotions, all these stress are temporary. Seek the right treatment, give some time, and be patient. Think positive. Every treatment will take its time and avoid feeling like a victim. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you think you are losing your control and things are slipping out of your hand, ask for expert psychological help. Medications and proper counseling, or both can offer the best treatment outcomes. Following a healthy lifestyle, eating nutritious <a href="https://www.giftivf.com/generalameasuresformaleinfertility.html" target="_blank">food</a>, getting regular exercise, and ultimately keeping yourself busy is also essential.</div>

<div style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 6px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">You will be shocked to know that at any given time, 20- 40% of teenage girls are plagued by a condition that many have never even heard of- Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS). This disease usually leads to irregular periods, acne, excessive hair growth and sufferers are also likely to be overweight. PCOS is nothing but altered state of psychology and abnormal hormone levels. The three main complications in PCOS are Insulin Resistance, Anovulation (absence of ovulation) and Hyperandrogenia (high levels of testosterone).</span><br />
<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">The high intake of sugar in the form of carbohydrate, sweets, carbonated drinks etc leads to high level of Insulin in blood, which in turn causes an increase in resistance towards insulin. Thus diet becomes an important catalyst in contributing to this disease. High-fat intake also causes and aggravates insulin resistance, so a calorific western style diet (like unhealthy fast foods) is a typical example of the kind of diet that should be avoided in children to prevent PCOS. Insulin resistance typically causes symptoms like tiredness, lethargy, darkening of skin flexures (behind the neck) and increased the occurrence of diabetes even in young adults.</span><br />
<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Another symptom in PCOS is the presence of high levels of androgen (male hormone) compared to the normal girls. This can lead to a myriad of psychological symptoms like irritability, aggressiveness, mood variations, anxiety, depression, social isolation, and poor body image. Physical symptoms may include acne and excessive hair growth, but these symptoms may be absent in some girls. These indications can be controlled by routine exercise and a low-calorie diet in most of the cases.</span><br />
<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Unfortunately, these girls are repeatedly condemned to silently suffer from these symptoms, as the teachers and parents quite often misinterpret their behavior without attributing the cause to PCOS. As the girls have the tendency to put on weight and are likely to have extra facial hair, they are further ridiculed by peers and this adds to their predicament of loneliness and social isolation. It is common to find suicide notes by teenagers on the sites of counselors requesting for help, as they find no solace from friends/parents. Counseling of parents and girls greatly helps in the recognition and management of what is essentially a treatable problem, so that they grow up to become confident and healthy individuals.</span><br />
<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Furthermore, studies show that in India many of the women who have PCOS fall under the lean PCOS group meaning that they have PCOS even if they are normal or even underweight. As doctors and paramedics traditionally associate PCOS with obesity, women falling under this category are many times under diagnosed.</span><br />
<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">In addition to the problems discussed earlier, PCOS also leads to long term complications such as sub fertility and pregnancy related problems. They are also at a high risk of developing diabetes, high blood pressure, cardiovascular problems, inflammatory diseases, autoimmune diseases and allergic disorders as the body produces inflammatory markers.</span><br />
<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">In my long career as an infertility specialist, I have seen that one of the main causes of female sub fertility is PCOS. Many of my patients who had previously undergone unsuccessful multiple IVF treatments at other infertility centres have conceived naturally under my treatment just by controlling PCOS. This prompted me to explore this subject deeply by comprehensive reading and understanding the problem by attending numerous international conferences and lectures on PCOS. I have been lucky to meet and gather medical information from prominent doctors and researchers on PCOS. Infertility treatment is quite expensive, making it beyond the reach of many couples and the medicines have side effects if used repeatedly. The long term implications of PCOS are frightful and the sheer volume of girls affected with PCOS is appalling. Hence, I have opened a specialized PCOS wing at GIFT IVF Centre, Kochi for controlling and prevention of this disease, so that many of the affected women can achieve their dream of having a baby and for building a generation of women who are equipped to deal with this menace.</span><br />
<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">It is the need of the hour that all members of society are aware of this condition that greatly affects the life of not just the woman suffering from PCOS but has a wider impact on her family and society. We need to give priority to introducing fitness programs in school and provide healthy home cooked food to growing children. It is high time to make our young girls healthy and save them from the huge catastrophe related to the pandemic disorder of PCOS.</span><br />
<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; display: inline; margin-top: 6px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">As a major step towards addressing this concern and for the benefit of our doctors and patients, we are conducting an International Medical Conference on PCOS at Gift IVF centre, Athani( Kochi) on 18/02/18 in collaboration with PCOS Challenge Group USA, where distinguished and prominent International experts on the topic of PCOS will partake and share their invaluable knowledge . This symposium is going to be first of its kind in that PCOS patients and their parents are going to be a part of the conference wherein they can directly interact and clear the doubts with the eminent doctors and related medical faculty learning about the latest methods of treatment.</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-IN" style="color: #660000; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">During the long course of my career as an infertility specialist, I have met thousands of patients yearning for their own kids and by God’s grace, I could be instrumental in bringing happiness to quite a few of them. I treasure each of those memories, but some of the cases are very special and unforgettable. I would like to share the story of an amazing couple which is very close to my heart.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-IN" style="color: #660000; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-IN" style="color: #660000; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">After several failed attempts of infertility treatment in another hospital, the couple came to me with the hope of conceiving. They were overjoyed when she conceived in the very first attempt of IVF cycle. Although we never advise patients to get admitted or take complete rest after IVF, they insisted that they want to stay at the hospital for the full term. This is a stark contrast from most of the other patients, who are reluctant to get admitted even if there is medical intervention. I had advised them to go home, but this couple was so eager and concerned about their babies that they wanted to stay around and make sure that they get expert help. They felt more safe & secure with us than in their own house. When twin pregnancy was confirmed, we were all overjoyed. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-IN" style="color: #660000; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-IN" style="color: #660000; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Staying at the hospital for so long, they became so close to us and the hospital staff that they were like part of our family. It was like a second home for them, the lady made lots of paintings in her spare time and the couple would walk around the organic farm around the hospital. After eagerly waiting for nine months, the twin babies were delivered via caesarean as there was some obstetric indication.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-IN" style="color: #660000; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-IN" style="color: #660000; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The excitement turned into shock for us, when the second twin appeared to be suffering from down syndrome. Although we were not sure, prima facie it seemed like that. One of the most difficult experiences in a gynecologist’s life is when we have to disclose the possibility of down syndrome to the parents. With exacerbating pain, expecting an outburst I reluctantly gave them the news. But to my utmost surprise, they took the news very well, both the father and mother smiled at me and said that they would love and take care of the child, just like the other twin.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-IN" style="color: #660000; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-IN" style="color: #660000; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">There were tears in my eyes when I came back from my rounds and joy filled my heart at the thought of the unconditional love and selfless commitment of the parents. It was not just a momentous decision on their part to make a baby, they were committed from the deep abyss of their heart to give pure and continuous love to their kids despite any adversities. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-IN" style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="color: #660000;">Even though they were discharged after a week, they requested to stay back for ten more days, which again proved the trust factor. I made an exception to my policy of not taking gifts from my patients and cherish the handmade ornaments, dress, <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_GoBack"></a>and painting, which she gifted me before they left for the long journey back home.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #674ea7;"><span style="background: white; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">What our forefathers believed centuries back makes sense today- “ Early to bed and early to rise makes a man- healthy, wealthy and wise." In today’s hustling and bustling calendar, it is almost unworkable to follow this wise thinking, </span><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">but if you want to have a physically and emotionally stable life and want to be in the pink of health when you reach old age, unquestionably you need at least seven to eight hours of uninterrupted quality sleep in a day.<span style="background: white;"> It’s interesting to learn that the sleep needs of respective individuals are dissimilar, so if one person’s sleep quota is completed <span class="gmail-aqj">in 6 hours</span>, another individual may require ten hours, yes, you read it correctly ten hours. Some theories even suggest that women require more sleep than men.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #674ea7; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><br />
<span style="background: white;">Have you ever been puzzled why the new generation is tormented by so many chronic illnesses compared to our grandfather's and great grandfather’s generation? The answer may be traced to the deprivation of sleep, combined with increased stress along with other environmental factors. The main cause of sleeplessness can be attributed to smartphones and other modern gadgets. Before popping sleeping pills, try to find out the cause for your misery through self-evaluation and find solutions like yoga, meditation or other forms of relaxation like music or dance. Some people have medical conditions of insomnia and depression which needs to be treated with medicines.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<b><i><u><span style="background: white; color: magenta;">WHY SLEEPING WELL IS IMPORTANT FOR KIDS</span></u></i></b><span style="color: #674ea7;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><br />
<span style="background: white;">I have heard several parents complaining that their kids are not concentrating on their studies, they cannot remember anything even after hours of toil, they always appear tired and exhausted. I always advise these parents to see that the kids are getting proper sleep. It’s not only video games or smart phones which are stripping the valuable hours of sleep, often long hours of tuitions and training are the culprits of burdening the budding minds. If you do not want them to grow up into emotionally and physically drained individuals, please see that they get appropriate sleep.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><span style="background: white; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">You will be shocked to know that apart from depression, tiredness, mood swings and lack of concentration, sleep deprivation also leads to diabetes, heart and kidney problems, hair loss, early aging etc. There is a general perception that over- sleeping will lead to weight gain, but did you know that inadequacy of sleep can also lead to obesity. Hormone levels in the body are upset by sleep deficiency, which leads the mind to think that you are hungry, even when you are not and you keep eating and the result is obvious. Sleep deprivation can bring diabetes closer to you and it also shoots up the level of blood sugar in the diabetic patients. Sleeplessness can also indirectly cause sub fertility due to stress and depression.</span><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><br />

<span style="color: #674ea7; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><br />
<span style="background: white;">Do not consider sleep as just a waste of time, your body is repairing and rejuvenating itself when you are under a deep slumber. The brain is not switched off during sleep, intriguingly brain activity is often accelerated in sleep. Sleep patterns can be broadly classified into two – REM (rapid eye movement) and NREM (non rapid eye movement) and in the span of a night’s sleep, the body keeps changing between these stages in a cyclical pattern. There are stages of light sleep and deep sleep. In REM sleep, you might be dreaming and the eyeballs will be moving, but the body will be motionless and muscles are relaxed. This may be a body mechanism to avoid you acting out in the dream. This is the stage when a person is most difficult to be awakened.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">The first and foremost thing to remember is ‘NOT TO PANIC’, keep in mind that anxiety and tension will stand in the way of your pregnancy. So relax and calm down, in many cases pregnancy is achieved over a period of time without any treatment. Medical science has advanced so much that there is a solution for most of the problems. One small word to the friends and relatives as well, “please don’t taunt the couples with questions of the impending pregnancy. Do not trouble the already distraught souls”. Stress causes sub fertility, so try to reduce stress and spend quality time with your partner. http://bangaloreivf.blogspot.ae/2014/09/reduce-stress-to-improve-fertility.html<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">There are some simple tests and procedures which can detect the cause of infertility and more often than not, some simple procedures or medication can give you the result. I frequently get patients who have undergone multifarious expensive tests and treatment in infertility centers, but some basic inexpensive tests which would have given the definite reason of the complication were omitted. Sadly as the years pass by, the chance for a successful pregnancy starts dwindling and the desperation and dismay along with the financial drain leads to depression and isolation. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">The tests which are to be undergone varies from person to person, I would like to suggest some basic tests which might reveal where the problems lie. In many cases, a simple laparoscopic drilling can give instant results. Detecting the problem at an early stage and following up with prompt and appropriate treatment will increase the chance of pregnancy.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 14pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">One of the greatest challenges faced by present world is the accumulation of waste. Organic waste can be used to produce biogas, which will lessen pollution, the burden of landfill and reduce the cost of waste disposal and revolutionize waste management. Many of the European countries and developed countries use organic waste optimally to produce biogas. In the present scenario, where the cooking gas has become expensive and world is facing shortage of fossil fuels, biogas can be the solution for many socio economic problems. Biogas can be used for cooking, heating and power generation. The byproduct of this process, the digestate slurry can be used as manure and is an excellent substitute for chemical fertilizers.</span><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-size: 14pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">Anaerobic digestion is the method used in the production of biogas, in which organic waste is decomposed in the absence of oxygen by microorganisms. Biogas comprises of methane and little carbon dioxide and is a combustible gas. There are various stages in the production of this gas like hydrolysis, acidogenesis, acetogenesis, and the final stage is methanogenesis. Through this process, harmful pathogens are destroyed and the waste is sanitized. The quality of the animal waste as a fertilizer is improved through this process and the digestate is a superb manure for plants.</span><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: 14pt;">Food waste, kitchen waste and animal waste can be used. Cow dung is most favorable in the production of biogas as the grass which the animal eats is converted into methane in the process of digestion. There will be no flies or bad odor as the drum used is tightly sealed and water proofed.</span><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: 14pt;">We have installed a small biogas plant in our premises and all the daily organic waste from our kitchen and hospital is put in this through a funnel and we get the gas through a pipe connection. I use the byproduct of this process, the liquid manure for all the vegetable and fruit plants and trees in my farm, thus avoiding the usage of harmful chemical fertilizers.</span><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: 14pt;">“PREVENT WASTING WASTE AND TURN IT INTO ENERGY”. You can easily and economically install a mini biogas plant at home, this will benefit your family, the environment and the planet as a whole. </span><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Numerous studies and researches conducted worldwide clearly
point towards a direct link between alcoholism and male and female infertility.
Fertility is inhibited not only by heavy drinking, even binge drinking has adverse effects.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">If you are are an alcoholic having difficulty in having a baby, you have to realize that alcohol may be hindering your
dream of becoming a father. Alcohol can cause reduction in sperm
count and motility, result in
abnormal sperms, impotency and loss of mechanism of action.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Drinking reduces the LH levels and FSH levels, which are
the main hormones responsible for spermatogenesis. It also has direct effect on
testis by reducing the spermatogenesis.<br />
<br />
Alcohol reduces the testosterone levels
and reduces the libido by acting at various levels. </span><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">In heavy drinkers, there can be even complete failure, leading to
testicular atrophy - meaning zero sperms.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br />
When liver is affected, it stops producing Vitamin A and symptoms like
gynaecomastia ( breast development ) can be seen in addition to other
feminisation symptoms.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">It is not only the male fertility, even the women’s fertility
also has to bear the brunt of
alcoholism. The ovulation process, menstruation cycle and reproductive system of women is disturbed
due the hormonal imbalances, often leading to irregular periods and problems in
conceiving. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">In addition to the physical and medical factors,
psychological factors also play a major role in pregnancy. Alcoholism tends to cause stress in the other spouse and
often is the cause of many marital problems. Stress and unhappiness in the
married life is often the indirect cause of inability to conceive. </span><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">So it is highly advisable to quit drinking and adopt a
healthy life style, if you are planning to extend your family.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Similarly, drinking while you are pregnant is a big NO. Alcohol
reaches the baby through placenta and needless to say it is highly toxic
to the tender fetus. It will damage the child’s undeveloped liver and there are
chances of undeveloped brain, other
physical deformities or even miscarriages.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;">When we list out the food items of healthy and medicinal value, time and again the name of herbs are left out. Nature has kindly bestowed on us a lot of herbs which have high nutritional and medicinal value and Mint or Pudina occupies a top place in this list. Mint is not only a flavor enhancer used in cuisines, but also has a plethora of medicinal benefits. The antioxidant properties of this herb are amazing. Mint comprises around 15 to 20 species including </span><span style="font-size: 14pt;">peppermint and spearmint. Mint oil, a product made out of mint is used in gums, pain balms, toothpaste, beauty products etc.</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #274e13;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;">From ages, mint has been used as a home remedy for treating common cold and cough.

<span style="color: #274e13; font-size: 14pt;">The mint leaves which we buy from the market are often laced with pesticides, hence planting them in a pot is a great idea, just keep them near the kitchen window and pluck them fresh and use. Please don’t limit the use of mint leaves as a garnish or in biriyani or mint chutney.You can use them liberally in all curries, salads, cocktail and mocktail drinks to get the zing and flavor. When combined with fruits it imparts divine taste, so don’t be stingy while using them in fruit salads, fruit puddings, chocolate cookies etc. Tickle your imagination and sky is the limit.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><br />
<span style="background: white;">Nutrition intake during pregnancy significantly
contributes to the development of an individual, it’s a crucial period which
often decides the overall health of the person for years to come.<span class="apple-converted-space"> Little care and caution during pregnancy can
ensure that you will have a hale and healthy baby who will develop into a
healthy adult.</span></span> <span style="background: white;">We are what we
eat, so this is the time, when maximum care is required. In addition
to the usual diet, we can add some amazing stuff to the diet to increase the nutritional
value of the food during pregnancy.</span><br />
<!--[if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--><br />
<!--[endif]--><span style="background: white;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="background: white; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">An ideal diet
includes plenty of fruits and vegetables and the goodness will be amplified if
it is organic. Fiber intake is essential to keep bowel movement smooth and
a good portion of veggies like banana flower(kodappan) and banana inner trunk (pindi) will really help. Green leafy vegetables and an assortment of different
bright coloured fruits and vegetable should be made a part of the daily diet,
so that all the vitamins reach your baby. Fresh fruits have more vitamins than
their shelved and preserved counterparts, so pluck fresh fruits from the
backyard and have a bite, instead of consuming old/preserved
fruits from supermarkets, which are packed with insecticides.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="background: white; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="background: white; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Whole grains like
wheat, ragi and boiled rice will provide
the much needed carbohydrates and fibers. But make it a point to avoid maida
(refined flour) and white rice. Innovative ideas like making chappathi or roti with a combination of flours
like wheat, ragi, bajra (pearl millet),
Makkai (maize) and jowar (white millet) is great, especially if you are
intolerant to gluten (wheat contains gluten). The soluble fibres and low
glycemic index of these flours are good during pregnancy. Do
not try to substitute rotis with whole grain breads, as it contains preservatives, yeast and vegetable
fat</span><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">The nutritional value increases when the seeds
are sprouted, hence include them in salads after washing thoroughly so as to reduce the risk of
infections. Sprouting is a simple process of germination, which can be easily
carried out at home and all the pulses like green gram, chick peas, peas,
lentils, fenugreek and cereals like wheat, buckwheat, rice, amaranth, oil seeds
like sesame and peanuts etc can be sprouted
effortlessly.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">Omega 3 fatty acids found in fishes like sardine helps in the development of infant’s brain. But too much
intake of fish is not good as some fishes like tuna, shark, sword fish and king
mackerel contains higher concentration
of mercury which is not good for the
baby. Nuts and dry fruits will make a healthy snack, as most of the nuts like walnut and almonds
are rich in Omega 3 fatty acids, fibers and vitamins. Lean meats and eggs can
be taken in limited quantities. </span><br />
<br /><br />
<span style="background: white;">Coconut oil is excellent for skin nourishment,
it helps in keeping the skin supple and soft and will help in avoiding stretch
marks which occur in pregnancy.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">Lactobacilli are extremely useful in keeping the
vagina healthy, so taking curd or fermented foods will not only help in
getting protein and calcium, but also aid in avoiding infections.</span><br />
<br />Equally important is avoiding some food items, minimize eating out at <span style="background: white;">hotels, especially Chinese food should be a strict no because of their ajinomoto content. Fast foods and fried foods, bakery items and sweets can

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background: white; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome ) is a common
condition affecting numerous teenage girls in the present scenario, causing
obesity, irregular periods and excessive hair growth. Recent studies and
researches reveal that a shocking 20% of teenagers are affected and the numbers
even go up to 60% in some urban cities. PCOS results in abnormal hormones
in the body which often leads to infertility and other metabolic disorders like
diabetes and heart diseases. The psychological issues like anxiety and depression
and social problems like feeling of isolation are often inadequately recognised
by both healthcare providers and the parents.</span><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><br style="text-align: start;" />
<br style="text-align: start;" />
<span style="background: white;"><span style="text-align: start;">It was
indeed a great learning experience for me to attend the first annual world
Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome Conference held on November 16-18, 2015 in
Seattle, Washington, USA.</span> The conference highlighted scientific studies
and discussions on PCOS.The selection of top 42 research fellows from all over
the world, was impeccable. The expert doctors from around the globe shared
creative ideas about the various aspects of research and also various measures
to help create public awareness on the subject.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background: white; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background: white; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Professor Richard L Stouffer presented a paper on
PCOS, after studying the effect of western style diet on monkeys and concluded
that the diet developed PCOS in the animals. He is the Senior Scientist in the
Division of Reproductive & Developmental Sciences, ONPRC and has published
over 200 papers. Presently, the dangerous trend in India is that lot of fast
food chains are coming up and we, especially the young generation are embracing
this diet with open arms and mind, which could be catastrophic. This could be
one explanation for the recent rice in cases of PCOS among Indian teenage
population.</span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><br />
<span style="background: white;"><span style="text-align: start;">Professor
Dimitrios Nikolaou from the Imperial College School of Medicine, London, tried
to establish that PCOS is a misnomer ! He is considered as one of the
most original thinkers in the field of Reproductive Medicine. He argued that
women are protected against early ovarian ageing and have a number of social
characteristics due to male hormones that are advantageous.</span></span><br style="text-align: start;" />
<br style="text-align: start;" />
<span style="background: white;"><span style="text-align: start;">Dr.
Angeline Beltsos from Fertility Centers of Illinois, USA advocated single
frozen embryo transfer in IVF cases for PCOS . Higher IVF implantation rates
and improved pregnancy outcomes can be achieved by pre-implantation genetic
screening, followed by single frozen embryo transfer which may improve placentation
and infant health as well.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><br />
<span style="background: white;"><span style="text-align: start;">Dr. Yen
Hao Chen, a researcher from Georgia Regents University, USA, established a new
study to prove that Adipose tissue ( fat cells ) dysfunction is present
in PCOS. This may help in finding new treatment in future.</span></span><br style="text-align: start;" />
<br style="text-align: start;" />
<span style="background: white;"><span style="text-align: start;">Dr.Sheng
Wu, from Johns Hopkins University did Study of PCOS through the interaction of
androgens and insulin. High levels of male hormones and insulin are
believed to play prominent roles in the genesis and progression of the disease
and study revealed intricate cellular mechanism.</span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><br />
<span style="background: white;"><span style="text-align: start;">Dr. Lora
Shahine, had done fellowship in Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility at
Stanford University. Her work was a proof that women with PCOS suffer not only
from difficulty in conceiving, but a higher rate of early miscarriage compared
to women of the same age without PCOS because of obesity, endometrial defects
and hormonal imbalances.</span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><br />
<span style="background: white;"><span style="text-align: start;">Professor
in Clinical Biochemistry at the University of Manchester, Dr.Brian keevil<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span><br style="text-align: start;" />
<span style="background: white;"><span style="text-align: start;">focused
on the simultaneous measurement of testosterone, androstenedione DHEA, DHT, DHEAS and 17 OHP and their potential use in the investigation of
PCOS. The possible use of salivary androgen assays were interesting, which
offered a possibility of no blood tests in future.</span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><br />
<span style="background: white;"><span style="text-align: start;">Dr.
Janelle Luk , who graduated from Yale University , and did residency
at Harvard, presented paper on IVM ( in vitro maturation ). This is a technique
in which immature eggs are collected from women with PCOS and is matured and
used in IVF/ ICSI. This technique is probably going to be employed in the
future treatments, as it helps in reducing injections and also risks of hyper
stimulation. </span></span><br style="text-align: start;" />
<br style="text-align: start;" />
<span style="background: white;"><span style="text-align: start;">The
matter of increasing public health concern, as the incidence is highly
associated with the metabolic syndrome was highlighted by Dr.Donna Vine.
She is the recipient of McCalla Professorship in Teaching, Service and
Research.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span><br style="text-align: start;" />
<br style="text-align: start;" />
<span style="background: white;"><span style="text-align: start;">Russian
Professor, L. A. Ivanova did a study on the effect of thioctic acid on
PCOS, and it is now available.</span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><br />
<span style="background: white;"><span style="text-align: start;">We had
expert doctors from various fields who emphasized the side effects of PCOS on
different parts of the body. The Dermatologist from Sweden, Dr. Maria Palmetun
indicated that quality of life is very badly affected by PCOS and the dentist
Dr. Ozgun Ozcaka, from Turkey Spoke about the connection between PCOS and
gingival inflammation.</span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><br />
<span style="background: white;"><span style="text-align: start;">Dr.
Awatif Al Bahar, from Dubai Health Authority, UAE, threw light at the
epidemiology of PCOS and the economic cost which it is causing to the
healthcare sector. It is shocking that every year the health insurance
companies incur huge costs to cover the direct and indirect medical
expenses related to PCOS !<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span><br style="text-align: start;" />
<br style="text-align: start;" />
<span style="background: white;"><span style="text-align: start;">A new era
of medicine has started with study of bacteria in our body. Dr. Felice L Gersh
from USA gave a wonderful insight into this new topic titled - The care
and feeding of the microbiome: A new approach to lowering the inflammation of
PCOS. More DNA exists within us which derives from the trillions of bacteria
comprising our microbiome than from our personal genetic DNA. Bad news is that,
the standard Western diet, comprising of huge amounts of processed foods, which
are nutrient deficient, chemical laden, antibiotic containing and which are
devoid of sufficient quantities of both soluble and insoluble fiber, kills
rather than supports a healthy microbiome. Women with PCOS frequently
experience gastrointestinal problems, have irritable bowel syndrome and tend to
develop chronic low grade systemic inflammation as a consequence of the
unhealthy state of their gut bacteria.</span><o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="background: white;"><span style="text-align: start;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background: white; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Exercise is an extraordinarily effective way to
reduce systemic inflammation and lower oxidative stress and should be an
integral part of every PCOS treatment program, explained<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span><o:p></o:p><span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; text-align: left;">Bob tygenhof, the exercise specialist.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><br />
<span style="background: white;"><span style="text-align: start;">Julie
Booker, rightly pinpointed that Stress and anxiety have been found to suppress
the ovarian and menstrual cycle. She provided a treatment plan including
acupuncture, diet, lifestyle, Chinese herbal medicine and supplements.</span></span><br style="text-align: start;" />
<br style="text-align: start;" />
<span style="background: white;"><span style="text-align: start;">My
presentation on long term managment of PCOS highlighted that Life style changes
including diet, exercise and weight loss should precede any medicines.
Protocols should be provided to doctors to assess cardiovascular
disease (CVD) risks.</span></span> <span style="background: white;">(currently
this protocol is not widely followed, although recommended by Royal colleges of
London and Australia)</span> Medicines are rarely needed ,as in gestogens
to induce periods atleast 3-4 times a year to reduce risk of endometrial
hyperplasia/cancer.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="background: white; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span></span><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><br style="text-align: start;" />
<span style="background: white;"><span style="text-align: start;">Recent
studies suggests that Insulin-sensitising agents like metformin, which is
commonly prescribed for PCOS does not seem to have any long-term benefits and
should be restricted to only diabetic / glucose intolerant PCOS.</span></span><br style="text-align: start;" />
<span style="background: white;"><span style="text-align: start;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="background: white;"><span style="text-align: start;">Ovulation
inducing agents like clomiphene should be used only for 6 to 12 months,
as prolonged use of this medicine increases risk of cancer, the option of IVF
should be considered after this period.</span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><br style="text-align: start;" />
<span style="background: white;"><span style="text-align: start;">Laparoscopic
ovarian drilling will induce ovulation in 60% of the subjects for 20 years,
especially in PCOS patients who are not overweight. </span></span><span style="background: white;"><span style="text-align: start;">Psychological
issues are often easily overlooked, problems like depression and anxiety must
be screened, assessed and referred to professionals.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span><br style="text-align: start;" /><br style="text-align: start;" />
<span style="background: white;"><span style="text-align: start;">Creating
public health awareness on healthy eating and the necessity of regular exercise
is very essential and should be included in the school curriculum. </span></span><span style="background: white;"><span style="text-align: start;">Specialised
PCOS clinics with a trained team of doctors, dieticians, exercise specialists
and counselors is absolutely needed in proper long-term management of PCOS.</span><o:p></o:p></span></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">When we speak about world’s healthiest food items, the name
of turmeric can never be forgotten. The gifted Indian and Chinese folks had recognised the power of turmeric way
before us, as history suggests that it was widely used in Ayurveda and Chinese treatments centuries back.
Turmeric, also known as Indian Saffron
is derived from the Curcuma plant. This spice is an inevitable
ingredient in everyday Indian cooking and is a must in all kitchen shelves in
Indian households. The list of benefits of turmeric is so long that it won’t be
an exaggeration to say that a book can be penned on this. Nevertheless, I have
tried to briefly combine all the goodness of turmeric into this blog.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Turmeric derives its strong antibacterial and antioxidative
properties from its component curcumin. Turmeric is a good source of iron,
magnesium, manganese, vitamin B6, dietary fiber, and potassium. It not only adds
colour and taste to food, but is also a solution to a wide array of medical
conditions, which includes arthritis and joint pains, gastric problems, jaundice, Endometriosis, diarrhea, PCOS, problems during menstruation like pain and cramps, ovarina cysts,liver problems,
hemorrhage, cuts and bruises, chest pain, and even cancer. For appropriate
absorption of turmeric into the body, it is advised to be taken along with
pepper which will help to increase the absorption rate.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Thanks to the anti-inflammatory properties of turmeric, IBD
(inflammatory bowel disease) or
crohn’s patients can get a lot of
relief by adding turmeric amply to their daily diet. Unlike other medicines,
this miracle spice is free of any side effects and packs only goodness.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Cystic fibrosis is a condition which affects the lungs
severely and causes death in many cases. The scientists from Yale have found
that curcumin is effective in treating this condition. Anti-carcinogenic
properties of turmeric are widely accepted across the globe and helps in
prevention of colon, breast, lung, cervical and prostate cancer. The anti - oxidative properties defend the
colon cells from free radicals and prevent the creation of cancerous cells.
Curcumin also helps terminate the mutated cancer cells. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Turmeric helps in digestion and prevents flatulence. It helps
in preventing and curbing liver diseases like cirrhosis, jaundice and
hepatitis. It stimulates the production of bile which in turn helps in
digestion of fats.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Turmeric can curb the onset of diabetes in people who are in
the pre - diabetic stage, as it is known
to reduce insulin resistance.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Good news to the cholesterol patients is that turmeric can
check oxidation of cholesterol, which narrows the blood vessels, causing stroke
or a heart attack. Vitamin B6 in turmeric helps to keep homocysteine in
control, excess of which can cause atherosclerosis and heart diseases. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Turmeric is even considered effective against the dreaded neurodegenerative

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">We know that smoking can be a ground for cancer, heart
problems, stroke and pulmonary diseases. Sadly, the list doesn’t end here,
studies and analysis conducted worldwide indicates that smoking can cause
infertility in both men and women. Smoking is not good for the health of sperms and in turn has adverse affect on
fertility. The fact is that smoking can actually cause infertility, miscarriages,
preterm labours, growth retarded babies and the worst - childhood cancer.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br />
Shocking fact is that more than one-third of the world’s population over the
age of 15 years are smokers. </span><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Cigarette smoke contains more than 4000 harmful chemicals. </span><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">It has around 60 carcinogens and mutogens including nicotine, carbon monoxide,
heavy metals, benzopyrene, dimethylbenzanthracene, dimethylnitrosamine,
naphthalene, and metanaphtalene. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The smokers semen
samples showed reduced sperm count, motility and viability. This low
quality sperm is less likely to fertilize eggs, which in turn inhibits
the chance of conceiving.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br />
<b><i>Mechanism
of action<o:p></o:p></i></b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Creatine kinase (CK) is an enzyme, expressed by various
tissues and cell types that require high energy. This enzyme reversibly
catalyzes conversion of creatine and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to
phosphocreatine and adenosine diphosphate (ADP). CK activity in seminal plasma, sperm cells and total semen considerably diminished
with smoking. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">There is permanent and severe DNA damage leading to
prevention of oocyte fertilisation or the development of the embryo resulting
in miscarriages. This damaged sperm loses its power to ward off destructive
free radicals in semen. Toxic materials have also been detected in smokers
semen. Nicotine is also known to alter the hormonal balance through
stimulation of cortisol, the growth hormone, which in turn will curb the
release of LH,FSH and PRL. Smoking can also lead to erectile dysfunction due to
circulatory problems caused by the blocking of arteries.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br />
The reactive oxygen species ( ROS) are atoms with unstable electron and
are byproducts of metabolism of glucose in living cells. They grab electrons
from surrounding atoms, making them unstable, which ultimately becomes
like a chain reaction, making the cells damage, degenerate or mutate. The
ROS is found to be high in smokers. In normal conditions anti oxidants repair the negative effects by donating the
extra electron that the ROS requires. The levels of antioxidants are found low
in smokers, even their capacity to neutralise ROS is found to be less.<br /><br />
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Leukocytes (WBC) are the major source of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the
ejaculate and elevated leukocytes impairs fertility by the formation of
reactive oxygen species, which are in turn harmful to sperm DNA and membrane
phospholipids because of oxidation, thus damaging sperms and causing mutation
of genes leading to abnormalities.

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">It is highly advisable for women to quit smoking before they
plan their pregnancy. A pregnant smoker is risking her unborn baby’s life, as
smoking aggravates the risk of spontaneous abortion, premature birth, very low
birth weight, sudden infant death and ectopic pregnancies. I advice my patients
to quit smoking at least 3 months prior doing the IVF procedure, as smoking
unfavorably affects the procedure through premature aging of ovaries.
Physiology of the men is such that they keep producing semen throughout their
life. But women are born with a fixed number of eggs, if these eggs are damaged
or depleted no amount of treatment can bring them back. Heavy Cigarette smoking
has proven to cause tubal and cervical problems and DNA damages to
the ovarian follicles. Even early menopause caused by premature aging of
ovaries has been linked to smoking.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

prescribed in Ayurveda and Chinese medicine for curing and preventing of
many diseases. This plant is widely
cultivated across the world and its seeds are used in many international
cuisines as taste enhancers. In India, along with the seeds, the leaves of the
plant is also widely consumed. It is
known as “ Methi” in Hindi and “Uluva”
in Malayalam.</span></div>
<div class="normal" style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="normal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">To name a few, fenugreek can resolve digestive problems like heartburn, acid
reflux,abdominal pain and constipation, skin problems like eczema,
inflammation, cellulitis, hair loss and
dandruff. The mucilage present in these seeds aids in </span><span style="font-size: 18.6667px; line-height: 21.4667px;">smoothing</span><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"> of intestinal

<div class="normal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">One of the most remarkable quality of fenugreek is that, it stimulates milk production in nursing
mothers. According to aurveda, fenugreek can augment the quantity and quality
of milk produced by the breastfeeding women.</span></div>
<div class="normal" style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="normal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Research have proved that, daily intake of fenugreek in the
prescribed form can control and prevent diabetes. It has great soluble fiber
content and amino acids, which seems to have the property to induce more
insulin production and reduce the rate
of absorption of sugar in the stomach and improve glucose resistance.</span></div>

infertility</span></a><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">. One of
the characteristic of this condition is glucose intolerance, which may

Fenugreek is considered to be one of the natural foods which can aid to control
this condition.</span></div>
<div class="normal" style="text-align: justify;">

excess use of fenugreek is not advised, as it is said
to induce labor. </span></div>

widely in many dishes. You can powder and store the fenugreek seeds and
sprinkle them in most of the curries and
add them to Dosa batter (That’s the secret behind the delicious Dosas in
hotels). The sprouts are easy to make and quite nutritious. </span><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">The brave ones can soak some seeds overnight and have it in the
morning along with the soaked in water. Though little bitter, researches
indicate that this can do wonders in controlling diabetes and improving the
general health. The leaves of the plant
can be added to the wheat dough before making chappathis or rotis and believe
me, it tastes awesome. The dried leaves called “Kasuri Methi” is incredibly
flavorsome and is easily available in
stores. This is a must ingredient in Indian dishes like butter chicken, chicken tikka, and malai paneer.</span><br />

However, some free radicals are produced in the body due to external factors like pollution, alcohol, smoking, medications, pesticides, infections, poor diet, toxins, radiation etc. If free radicals are not controlled, it can attack the healthy cells of the body, resulting in oxidative stress posing danger to our health. Oxidation damages the cell membranes, cellular proteins and DNA. Preventing or fighting oxidative stress can go a long way in defending our body against tumors, cancer, heart problems, premature aging and scores of other body ailments. Deficiency of antioxidants will lead to piling up of free radicals in the body. A healthy dose of antioxidants will ensure that free radicals are deactivated before they start attacking the cells.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Oxidative stress can be a reason for causing miscarriages, and some researches suggests that antioxidants may be helpful in preventing Pre-eclampsia (High blood pressure and protein in urine, during pregnancy can result in a fatal condition called Pre - eclampsia, which can cause preterm delivery.) Oxidative stress is also known to affect male fertility adversely by causing defective spermatogenesis. So infact, anioxidants can aid in improving the quality and quantity of the sperm.</span></div>

Moringa Tree (Drumstick) a “ MIRACLE
TREE”. All the parts of the tree like, the leaves, bark, fruits, flowers, sap, seeds, oil and even the root has
medicinal or commercial utilities. Since ages, this has been utilized in
Ayurveda to prevent and cure more than a hundred diseases and for enhancing
general health and boosting immunity. I can go on and on and write pages about this precious tree, which is a powerhouse of goodness. But I will

leaves make it an ideal food for vegetarians, as this is one vegetable, which
can almost match the protein content in animal meat. Studies prove that the
protein in muringa is better and higher than in soya. The amino acids essential
for our body is present in these leaves. Even after drying, the leaves retain
lot of its nutritional value, this along with the cheap and easy availability
makes it ideal as a supplement for the malnourished people in the third world countries.</span><span style="font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">When I attended the ACE 2015 conference, I was privileged to
listen to an interesting lecture by a Japanese embryologist. It was
concerning a new technology called PIEZO ICSI, wherein vibration was
used to puncture the egg instead of a needle, as employed in conventional <a href="http://www.giftivf.com/icsi.html">ICSI</a> procedure. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">

<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">First let us understand the conventional ICSI procedure. ICSI is a
process in which a sperm is directly injected into an egg. In current
micromanipulators, sharp needle is used to forcibly penetrate the
egg through the zona pellucida (protecting cover of egg ) which causes
considerable deformation of the zona or in simple terms creates a hole. This
deformation may increase the internal pressure of the oocyte, (egg) induce the
emission of ooplasm (cytoplasm inside the egg) from the oocyte after removal of
the needle and may cause oocyte death.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;"><br />
Since the cytoplasm inside cell (egg) has high extendibility, the
inserted needle may not penetrate the cytoplasm. So the sperm should be
injected after aspiration of the matter into the pippette, which is done by
the <a href="http://www.giftivf.com/embryofreezing.html">embryologists</a>.
They aspirate little cytoplasm and then only inject the sperm into the
egg cell.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;"><br />
The first report on piezo-ICSI was published by Kimura and Yanagimachi (1995),
who used mice as subjects. By means of this method, egg penetration can be
achieved by voltage of piezoelectric elements. Similarly, after the cytoplasm
is reached it can be punctured by applying one piezo pulse. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">So basically vibration is used to puncture the egg, there is
no sharp needle, but only a smaller blunt needle. Therefore, chances of
injuring the egg is less. Moreover, there is no need to aspirate the
matter from egg contents to confirm entry, which again reduces the chances of
harming the egg.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">

<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">Currently, this method is being used in Japanese fertility
centers, with higher success rate than conventional ICSI. It is
quiet expensive to maintain an ART lab, so upgrading with new equipment
can be a challenge in the current Indian scenario, as ultimately the patients
will have to bear the brunt.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Basella Alba, commonly known as Vine Spinach, Malabar
Spinach, Bengali Cheera or Ceylon
spinach is a tropical creeper plant with dark green broad leaves and fleshy purple
or pink stems. It tastes similar to spinach, but has many more medicinal
properties. Most of the people are unaware that this plant is a treasure chest of vitamins, minerals etc. This easy to cultivate plant is commonly found in the backyards and
starts giving yield in less than 40 days. It has always been popular in Asian
countries like India, China and Philippines, but now the value of this plant is
being recognized in European and American countries and the succulent and
tender leaves and stems are used widely
in cooking. It is easy to cultivate and
a small stem cutting planted in soil will achieve rapid growth in a short span,
if proper irrigation is given. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="normal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Few month back, when I planted a small stem cutting in my
garden, I never imagined it will grow so fast and will become a regular part of
our daily meals. I love to add few leaves in my stir fries or grind them and
add to my pasta. Fresh from the garden, without any trace of pesticide, they
are packed with goodness of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. </span></div>
<div class="normal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="normal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">These heart shaped high fiber leaves are not only easy to cook, but has very few
calories with a decent protein content.
It is said to have more vitamin C than the normal spinach. It’s an
excellent source of Iron, Vitamin A, Riboflavin, vitamin B6, Vitamin E,
potassium, manganese, calcium, copper, Thiamin and Niacin. The mucilage and
roughage aids in smooth bowel movements and prevent adsorption of cholesterol.
The antioxidant vitamin C, is inevitable for the healthy body functioning as it increase our resistance against
diseases. Another important property of Basella Alba is that it gives
protection against Osteoporosis, as these leaves are enriched with calcium.
Appropriate levels of Folate are very essential during </span><a href="http://www.giftivf.com/dietforfertility.html"><span style="color: #1155cc; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">pregnancy</span></a><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">, so it is highly recommended that
pregnant ladies include lot of these leaves in their daily diet. Optimum level
of potassium will ensure that your blood pressure and heart beat level are
maintained. </span></div>
<div class="normal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Laboratory experiments proved that feeding these leaves to
rats and bulls increased their </span><a href="http://www.giftivf.com/causesofmaleinfertility.html"><span style="color: #1155cc; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">testosterone</span></a><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">
levels, so Malabar Spinach may abet to counter male infertility. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="normal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Another striking property is that
chewing these leaves are known to expel the kidney stones. Numerous studies
have proved that these leaves are capable of dissolving calcium oxalate
crystals ( Most commonly found type of kidney stone). One more remarkable
feature of this plant is it's anti inflammatory and anti fungal properties. It will be a wise decision to include these leaves as a part of your regular diet.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">In a mission to stop the unwanted
pregnancies and abortions, we are offering to do laparoscopic sterilizations at
a very reduced and nominal cost. I always had a secret guilt in some
corner of my heart that, I am contributing to the population rise by offering </span><a href="http://www.giftivf.com/"><span style="color: #1155cc; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">infertility treatment</span></a><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">, although it helps in building a lot of happy families and
save many marriages in the Indian scenario. (personally I feel that, not
having a child should not affect marriages, such relations are obviously not strong enough ! )</span></div>

<div class="normal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">In the past I used to conduct laparoscopic
sterilisation camps yearly. But then we expanded to Bangalore, which meant I
had very little time for camps, after my weekly travelling to Bangalore. Now that I am back in cochin and will visit
Bangalore only occasionally, I can restart our good work.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">On an average, a diagnostic </span><a href="http://www.giftivf.com/laparoscopicsurgery.html"><span style="color: #1155cc; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">laparoscopy</span></a><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> will cost around 40 to 60 thousand
rupees and surgical laparoscopy will cost anywhere from 50 to 90 thousand
rupees or more, depending on the medical centre. We are offering
laparoscopic sterilizations at a minimal charge of Rs 18,000. Medicines will
cost Rs 7000, so the total cost will come to
around only Rs 25000. We will also conduct profit free camps once in a year, charging only Rs 7000
for the medicines.</span></div>

<div class="normal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Once family is completed and you
decide that you do not want any more children, then it is better to stop
pregnancy by means of a permanent method, so that there is no hassle of taking
tablets daily with all its side effects. <span style="background: white; mso-highlight: white;">Even Cu T has side effects like
heavy bleeding and it also increases the risk of infection.</span></span></div>

<div class="normal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Universally, there are plenty of
unwanted pregnancies happening and many of them end up in terminations. Medical
termination of pregnancy has all the risks of a surgical procedure like
bleeding, infection, anesthetic risks etc. and often puts additional financial
burden on families. </span></div>
<div class="normal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">

<div class="normal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">It is very stressful for women, when
they are trying to avoid pregnancy
as they are under constant fear of getting pregnant. Withdrawal methods
and condoms have significant failure rates, time and again resulting in
unwanted pregnancies. I regularly meet
women who tries to avoid pregnancy by keeping away from intercourse and
no wonder, their husbands are unhappy and often become a public nuisance for
other women. </span></div>

<div class="normal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Compared to open minilaparotomy,
laparoscopy has the advantage of being a safer procedure, with good equipments
and proper view. The women need not take leave from the job or worry about
other issues, as this procedure does not require hospital admission or rest and
can be completed in a day.</span></div>
<div class="normal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">

<div class="normal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Hippocrates quoted “Wherever the art of Medicine is loved,
there is also a love of Humanity. ” I will
be also doing laparoscopies at a reduced rate for poor patients who need
it for infertility evaluation. We are already doing </span><a href="http://www.giftivf.com/ivf.html"><span style="color: #1155cc; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">IVF</span></a><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> at a reduced rate for poor patients, one case every month as
a part of our charity mission. Happiness doesn't result from what we get, but

you acquire, when you help another person cannot be measured, it

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">An ideal diet plan for the <a href="http://www.giftivf.com/pcos.html"><span style="color: #1155cc;">PCOS</span></a> not only comprises food; the timing of meals, frequency and duration of the meals and the cooking methods are also equally important.</span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">Ideally, within thirty minutes of waking up, we need to take some form of food to kick start our metabolism. A well-balanced breakfast is a must, skipping that would be a big NO NO. It is better to eat every 3 to 4 hours, rather than taking infrequent big meals. Sounds good doesn’t it, you need to eat more often if you want to lose weight and control your PCOS.</span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">Eating should not be a hasty affair, take plenty of time, enjoy every bite to savor the goodness and flavor of the delicious food that nature has kindly bestowed upon us (we do not know how long we are going to get this!). To a great extent, digestion should happen in the mouth itself, so make it a point to chew the food properly. The brain takes about twenty minutes to register that stomach is full, hence if you eat quickly you are at the risk of consuming more food than is required. Chances are there that even though your stomach is full you will go on eating, so go slow.</span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">Likewise, it is vital to understand the significance of glycemic index in controlling PCOS. </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">Glycemic index (GI) indicates the level of sugar in blood after food intake. The rate at which blood sugar level shoots up in our body will vary depending on the type of carbohydrates that we eat. </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 18.6667px;">The insulin levels in the body are way too high in PCOS, which is the main reason for insulin resistance and high androgens. (Androgens are </span><a href="http://www.giftivf.com/causesofmaleinfertility.html" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18.6667px;"><span style="color: #1155cc;">male hormones</span></a><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 18.6667px;">, which are present in normal women in small quantities)</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;"> PCOS women should eat low glycemic index foods to avoid sudden spurt of blood sugar level. For more info see </span><a href="http://bangaloreivf.blogspot.ae/2014/09/low-glycemic-food-chart-for-pcos.html" style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 21.4667px;">http://bangaloreivf.blogspot.ae/2014/09/low-glycemic-food-chart-for-pcos.html</a></div>

<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">Reduce calorie intake if your weight is on the higher side, around 60 % of women with PCOS are overweight and it has been proven that in a significant number of women losing weight lead to reduction of symptoms of PCOS.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 14pt;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: 14pt;">1. Take natural foods, avoid processed food, limit sugar and sweet intake. (did you know that sugar undergoes lots of chemical treatment before it looks bright white?) </span><br />
<span style="font-size: 14pt;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: 14pt;">2. Choose whole grains like boiled rice, whole wheat flour, millets (Ragi), oats etc.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 14pt;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: 14pt;">3. Reduce salt intake, this will help reduce the risk of hypertension and other cardiovascular diseases as well.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 14pt;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: 14pt;">4. Choose unsaturated fats. Boil, grill, steam, bake and avoid microwaving and frying.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 14pt;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: 14pt;">5. Make sure that you are getting enough protein with every meal for controlling PCOS.</span></div>

But it should be noted that olive oil is not suited for Indian style of cooking or deep frying as the smoking point is very low, hence is best used in salads.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="normal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="normal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">I could sense my eyes welling up, when the patient was describing the
daily miseries in her life after </span><a href="http://www.giftivf.com/femaletubetest.html"><span style="color: #1155cc; font-size: 14.0pt;">hysterectomy</span></a><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">. If this
was just one unusual case in my practice, I would be a happier person, but
unfortunately these patients are a recurring phenomenon, all robbed of
their youth by undergoing hysterectomy at an untimely age.</span></div>
<div class="normal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="normal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">I glanced into the
chart and it showed that, she was just in her late thirties, but I was looking
at someone who looked like the mother of a women in her thirties ! </span><span style="font-size: 14pt;">She was dressed shabbily,
wearing a dull loose fitting wrinkled cotton Kurtha. Grey hair was scruffy and
messy, her wrinkled face was devoid of any makeup, the black circles around her
eyes clearly indicated lack of sleep.</span></div>
<div class="normal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="normal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">She described her daily life
as painfully slow, worse than death. Every single joint was hurting. If
its back pain today, tomorrow is neck pain and leg pain the next day. It is as
if the pain has become a constant companion and is traveling throughout the
body.</span></div>
<div class="normal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="normal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">On and off she suffers from
hot flashes, all the body parts will burn as if on fire, after each episode she
would sweat profusely, making her drench and putting her in an awkward position in
front of her family and friends. </span></div>
<div class="normal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="normal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Every day she makes plans,
but she just do not have the energy to implement anything, so tasks keeps
getting postponed, even the trivial ones. Just getting out of bed in the
morning is a daily struggle. She keeps
forgetting things easily, sometimes even important matters. Frequent outbursts
at children and her partner has made her
unpopular even in her own family.</span></div>
<div class="normal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="normal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Her skin always feels dry
and the hair has lost its sheen and number. </span><a href="http://www.giftivf.com/femalesexualdisoredrs.html"><span style="color: #1155cc; font-size: 14.0pt;">Sexual life</span></a><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"> is almost nonexistent or painful and dry. Her
partner, who is a fit 40 year old is
always nagging her and has found solace
in alcohol, as it helps him sleep better. (he feels)</span></div>
<div class="normal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="normal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="normal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Her tummy has bulged and
husband is happily making fun of the tyres around her body. She correctly
described it, the fat cells decided to relocate, left the breasts and
the thighs and settled in the tummy.</span></div>
<div class="normal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="normal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">she summed up her condition
in few words which expressed her desperation
“Doctor, I feel death is better
than this”.</span></div>
<div class="normal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="normal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="normal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">So why is she going thru all
this trauma?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">Few years back, she used to
get occasional back pain, an orthopedician confirmed after check up that everything was normal. Subsequently, she consulted a </span><a href="http://www.giftivf.com/"><span style="color: #1155cc; font-size: 14.0pt;">gynecologist</span></a><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> who did a
hasty hysterectomy stating uterine problems as the cause for back pain.
Of course the ovaries were preserved, as she was only 34 years old. But her ovaries stopped working
within couple of months, which is the usual story after hysterectomy, leading
to a premature menopause. She was later diagnosed with disc prolapse, which
probably could have been the cause for the back pain.</span></div>
<div class="normal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="normal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Now she is in a state of
misery, because of surgical menopause. Even though she tried
out different types of medicines including ayurveda, she felt no
relief. </span></div>
<div class="normal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="normal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">After counseling about the
advantages and side effects, we have put her on HRT, and she is feeling like a
human again. The symptoms completely disappear, the moment you give estrogen to
these women. The millions of neurons in the brain have estrogen receptors
from the time it was an early embryo, so every single function of the brain is
affected due to early menopause, which in turn affects each and every bodily functions.</span></div>
<div class="normal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="normal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">You may ask, why every women who undergoes
menopause does not have all these symptoms or side effects. But the case is
different in women aged 45 years or
more. The hormonal changes happen gradually and slowly over many years, around 5 to 10
years of slow change happens during natural menopause. The neurons get used to
the changes slowly, and body is steadily adapting. If you put cold water in a hot
vessel it cracks, but if you slowly cool the vessel, it will not break
into pieces. Similarly, it is more easier
for the body to adapt and tolerate during the natural process of menopause and
there will be less side effects of menopause.</span></div>
<div class="normal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="normal" style="margin-bottom: 5pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">So, it is very crucial to analyse the symptoms and the
disease appropriately and accurately, before a decision for hysterectomy is
taken, because the side effects of hysterectomy and menopause can be
devastating on many women.</span><br />
