During pregnancy, women can develop a form of diabetes known as gestational diabetes. In most cases, these women have never been diagnosed with this condition before their pregnancies. Although gestational diabetes places the woman’s pregnancy in a high risk category, it is more than possible for her to have a normal delivery and birth with the proper medical treatment.

Approximately 4 % of pregnant women will develop this condition. With diabetes in the pregnant woman, the blood sugar or glucose level becomes elevated. This can lead to medical complications for both the mother and child. Therefore, the woman needs to follow special precautions throughout the pregnancy.

When gestational diabetes develops in a person, the body experiences difficulty processing any sugar or any glucose. In a person without diabetes, the sugar is processed into energy that the body uses to perform daily activities and functions. Since the sugar is not getting processed properly, both the mother and the baby could gain more weight than is desirable.

It is possible that the hormones pregnancy generates circumvent the proper use of insulin during the pregnancy. Without the proper amount of insulin, the blood sugar cannot be processes. Hence, a build up of blood sugar occurs along with the development of gestational diabetes.

One of the steps that needs to be taken when gestational diabetes occurs is to monitor the woman’s weight gain carefully as well as her blood sugar levels. Two changes are usually incorporated into a pregnant woman’s lifestyle if she is diagnosed with gestational diabetes or with a great risk for developing it.

The first is to restrict the calorie intake by limiting certain foods, specifically simple sugars such as candy, cakes, cookies, and pies. The second is to increase the woman’s level of exercise during the pregnancy to restrict weight gain. Severe cases of gestational diabetes might require medical treatment, such as insulin injections, this is often very rare.

The likelihood of developing this disease is small since it only affects approximately 4 % of pregnant women. Moreover, certain risk factors can be used to predict the chances of a pregnant woman developing this disease.

One of the risk factors for developing gestational diabetes is the existence of a first order relative who has diabetes type 2. Having a large baby who was nine pounds or more during a previous pregnancy is also a risk factor. In most cases that involve gestational diabetes, the disease goes away once the woman has delivered her baby.
The midwife and the doctor will take care of you if you do develop gestational diabetes. Rest and care will go a long way to aid a person if they do come down with gestational diabetes.

Sex in pregnancy is a controversial topic to discuss because of the society we live in today which is multi-cultural and multi-religious. Because of the difficulty in arriving at an acceptable conclusion, many people don’t want to get involved in this topic.

Sexual intercourse which is the satisfaction of a desire arising from natural instincts is legal only within the recognized institution of marriage as ordained by God our creator. There are many fallacies surrounding this issue of sex during pregnancy. Some of them are :

*That is a taboo to sleep with a pregnant woman

*That it affects the health of the mother and the child

*That the child will not develop well

*That the child may grow up to become promiscus

*That the mother will have a hard time during delivery

*That sexing pregnancy will reduce the flow of milk during breast feeding etc.

However, it is important to note here that pregnancy does not mean being in a diseased state . Rather, this is a period when the mother is adapting to some psychological changes in her systems to support the growth of the foetus. She ie the mother is adjusting to her environment during pregnancy. A woman that is pregnant need not abstain from sex except she was advised against such by a doctor .However, the first three months of the pregnancy is a delicate period because the baby is still in the early developmental stages, so sex within this period should be avoided. In order to have a refreshing and safe sex during pregnancy, both parties must encourage each other to “give and take” just as sex before pregnancy. The man must exercise more level of understanding and patience in order to help his wife attain and savor every moment of the fore-play and the real sexual encounter. When this is done with care and love, both parties will enjoy every moment of the game. However, repeated orgasm may be dangerous for the woman. As the pregnancy grows in size, the couple must be careful with the position and style they choose in order not to put pressure on the growing baby.

Some healthy positions that can be considered by both couples are listed below.

*The woman sitting face to face on her husband allows easy access to kissing and fondling by both partners.

*Rear entry by the man with the woman lying on her side on the bed with her legs folded.

*Entering from the back by the man with the woman’s bum turned to him while she rests on all four.

*Both couple should be free and generous in fondling and caressing each other.

These are few of the many conditions that are considered safe for sex during pregnancy. But if the Doctor thinks otherwise and instructs against sex during pregnancy, the woman must comply totally. This is for her own safety and that of the unborn child because the Doctor or the Gynecologist knows better. Some of the reasons that may necessitate such an advice may be any of the following:

*When the woman is advised to observe bed rest as a result threatening abortion.

*Any woman that experiences constant miscarriage must seek Doctors advice before engaging in sex during pregnancy.

*Any woman that is over 35 years old and is getting pregnant for the first time must consult her Doctor before engaging in sex during pregnancy.

*Pregnancy after infertility treatment.

As said earlier, sexual intercourse at the early stage of the pregnancy should be avoided in order to avoid abortion and late pregnancy because virulent and dangerous organisms may be introduced. Sexual excess during the last month of the pregnancy should equally be discouraged.

Propecia (generic name Finasteride) is a powerful drug used for the treatment of men hair loss to increase hair growth and prevent further hair loss. Propecia is a prescription medication and is to be taken orally by men only. Propecia is not licensed for use in women.

 

Propecia:

 

Propecia is used for treating male pattern baldness on the vertex (at the top of the head) and the anterior mid-scalp area. Male pattern baldness is a common condition in which men experience thinning of the hair on the scalp which often results in a receding hairline and/or balding on the top of the head. Propecia is licensed for use by men only and should not be used by women or children.

 

Propecia is developed by Merck pharmaceutical company. The drug is available in tablet form of 1mg dosage strength for men hair loss. You can buy Propecia online or from a pharmacist on prescription only.

 

About Hair Loss:

 

Losing up to 100 hairs daily is considered normal as these get replaced by new hair naturally. Hair loss process starts if the rate of hair fall increases at an alarming rate. Moreover, if the new hairs that replace the old one come slowly or are thin, it may be onset of hair loss. Male pattern hair loss (male pattern baldness) is the most common cause of hair loss but there could be some other reason behind your hair loss. Discuss your particular hair loss with your doctor before you buy Propecia or begin any other hair loss treatment.

 

Propecia as Men Hair Loss Treatment Medicine:

 

Propecia has been studied in several tests including a 5 year clinical study to understand its effectiveness in treating men hair loss. The study produced following results:

 

• 90% of participants saw a visible improvement divided into 48% who saw re-growth of hair and 42% who saw no further hair loss. This is compared to 25% in a placebo control group.fine
• In the first year of the study 86% experienced visibly more hair.

 

The active ingredient in Propecia is finasteride which belongs to a group of medicines known as 5 alpha-reductase inhibitors. Finasteride prevents the enzyme 5 alpha-reductase from converting testosterone to its active form DHT (dihydrotestosterone) in the body. DHT plays a major role in inherited male pattern baldness (androgenic alopecia). By preventing the production of DHT, finasteride can stimulate hair growth in many men with mild to moderate inherited male pattern baldness.

 

Propecia Dosages:

 

Propecia (finasteride) is available in 1 mg dosage strength as the standard dosage strength for men hair loss is 1mg Propecia tablet a day. Do not exceed or lower the dose unless your doctor tells you to do so. Please note that taking double dose or increasing Propecia dosage will not yield better results. Taking double dose of finasteride (propecia), may cause you side effects.

 

Always remember to take the dose same time everyday for best results. Finasteride can be taken without regards to food, if however, you experience stomach problems, take Propecia finasteride with food. In any case, follow your doctor’s instructions.

 

If you miss a dose of Propecia medicine, take it as soon as possible. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not double dose to avoid side effects.

 

Propecia Side Effects:

 

Like any other prescription medicine, Propecia too has certain side effects. However, in clinical studies Propecia has shown very few side effects that too very rarely and did not affect most men.

 

In clinical studies for Propecia, a small number of men experienced certain sexual side effects, such as less desire for sex, difficulty in achieving an erection, or a decrease in the amount of semen. Each of these side effects occurred in less than 2% of men and went away in men who stopped taking Propecia because of them.

 

Some other mild and less serious side effects of Propecia include allergic reactions including rash, itching, hives, and swelling of the lips and face, problems with ejaculation, breast tenderness and enlargement, and testicular pain. However, you should report to your doctor if any of these side effects are persistent or bothersome. It is recommended that you should promptly report to your doctor any changes in your breasts such as lumps, pain, or nipple discharge.

 

Propecia Precautions:

 

• Propecia is for the treatment of hair loss in men only and should not be used by women or children.

 

• Pregnant women or women who may potentially be pregnant must not handle crushed or broken Propecia tablets because the active ingredient may cause abnormalities of a male baby’s sex organs.
• If a pregnant woman comes into contact with propecia finasteride by mistake, she should immediately wash the area with soap and water and consult a doctor.
• Do not buy Propecia if you are allergic to finasteride or any other ingredient of it or a similar type of medication called dutasteride.
• Always tell your doctor if you have liver disease, or abnormal liver enzymes, prostate cancer, bladder muscle disorder, stricture of urethra, or inability to urinate before you buy Propecia.
• Tell your doctor about all prescription, over-the-counter, herbal medications or supplements that you are taking. Also, let your doctor know if you use caffeine, alcohol, the nicotine from cigarettes, or street drugs as these can affect the action of many medications.
• Men using propecia should not donate blood. Even after you complete the treatment, you should not donate blood for at least 6 months. If your blood is transfused to a pregnant woman, she can have health problems.
• Always buy Propecia made by its original developer, Merck pharmaceutical company only. Do not buy Propecia available in generic forms as the risk of getting fake Propecia increases a lot.
• Propecia can only work over the long term if you continue taking it. If you stop taking Propecia, you will likely lose any hair you have gained within 12 months of stopping treatment.
• The use of Propecia has not been studied in elderly men with male pattern baldness.
