Do Cold Baths Cause ARTHRITIS?

April 12th, 2010 -- Posted in General, Tips | No Comments »

Lately, my mother been suffering from pains that seem to worsen at night. Someone told me that it may because she always bath at night with cold water. Is this just a myth? or can bathing in cold water really lead to Rheumatoid  arthritis (RA) ?

Actually, bathing at night with cold water does not cause Rheumatoid  arthritis (RA). However, exposure to cold can sometimes aggravate joint or muscle pain if you have problems in the joins or the surrounding tissue, eg. ligaments, tendons and muscles.

Cold stiffens muscle and changes the inner pressure of joints, resulting in pain.

What is Hyperpigmentation?

March 30th, 2010 -- Posted in General, Health care, Tips | No Comments »

Hyperpigmentation is a commont condition in which some areas of the skin are darker then others. This is due to an  excess of melanin (the brown pigment that determines skin color) in certain areas of the skin. There is a 3 type of hyperpigmentation :

Solar lentigo

This is the term doctors use to refer to ‘age’ or ‘liver’ spots. These are flat, brown spots or freckles and generally appear on skin that has been exposed to the sun. People who sunburn easily are more likely to develop this condition.

Melasma

Melasma is similar in appearance to age spots but appear over larger areas. Melasma can appear on the face, abdomen and other part of the body. It is usually the result of hormonal changes, which is why many pregnant women develop it. Women who are on oral contraceptives can also develop this condition due to the hormonal changes.

Freckles

Freckles are small, circular spots on the skin. They are more common among fair-skinned people, particularly after extended exposure to the sun. They vary in color (yellow, reddish or various shades of brown), depending on the individual and are slightly darker then the rest of the skin.

LASER VISION

February 22nd, 2010 -- Posted in General, Health care | No Comments »

Our eyes are considered to be some of the most essential parts of our bodies—the ability to witness life, to appreciate and revel in its artistry and to get a firmer grasp of reality through sight are just some of its functions. Without sight, the world would feel and seem different, maybe even hostile.

Many factors affect and worsen certain eye conditions, but luckily for us these days, there are safe and effective medical procedures that can be done to improve one’s eyesight. If one happens to be near-sighted or far-sighted, one can always rely on laser eye surgery to do the trick.

Lasik eye surgery (laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis) is done to eliminate the need to use glasses or contact lenses. It can be performed to improve eyesight by correcting conditions through the use of laser, without requiring incisions. The Intra-Lasik procedure involves using a laser to create a flap out of the cornea’s tissue, reshape the cornea and then accurately reposition the flap. Wavefront, or custom Lasik, on the other hand, uses a precise three dimensional measurement technique to let a computer-controlled laser reshape the cornea properly.

The price of laser eye surgery might range from 400 to 1200 pounds per eye, depending on the type of surgery. Before undergoing laser eye surgery, one must consider factors such as age and severity of eye condition. It is important to consult a doctor for advice.
