Improving Rheumatoid Arthritis Symptoms

rheumatoidRheumatoid arthritis is a disease where white blood cells suddenly attack healthy tissues, specifically joints and cartilage.  There are a few ways to help ease the symptoms, depending on which stage of the disease you are in.  If you are in the early stages of rheumatoid arthritis there is a new disease modifying anti-rheumatic drug (DMARD) which has done an excellent job in controlling symptoms.  It works best in the initial stages, so if you suspect you may have rheumatoid arthritis, see your doctor as soon as possible.

There are other options if you are in later stages of rheumatoid arthritis.  These are also helpful if you are still in early stages.  One is to use anti-inflammatory drugs such as aspirin, ibuprofen, and naproxen.  This does a great job reducing pain and inflammation.  However, these have side effects including heart problems and gastrointestinal bleeding.  You can also use acetaminophen for your rheumatoid arthritis, which does not have these side effects.

Circumcision – surgical procedures

May your child have circumcision, don’t worry, but before you take him to get circumcised, you better read this information. Circumcision is the surgical removal of the foreskin that covers the tip of the penis. The functions of the foreskin include protecting the head of the penis and contributing to sexual sensations. Circumcision is typically done in the first few days after birth, since the risk of complications increases in older babies, boys and men. Circumcision is an elective surgical procedure, which means in many cases that it is done for cosmetic reasons. Ultimately, it is a matter of parental choice. Many male babies are circumcised because of religious tradition or hygiene concerns. Studies indicate that circumcision offers health benefits, although some researchers argue the benefits are too small to justify surgery.

Care of Surgical Wound

I’m sure all of you ever get wound, but how about the treatment of surgical wound. I think you should know abut this basic, so if you ever get it someday (I hope not), you already knew how to care its. All wounds go through several stages of healing, and you may be able to see these changes as they progress. There are tree steps : Inflammation : days 1-5 (not same as infection): reddening, swelling, clear non-smelly discharge and slight pain; Formation of scab : days 5 -14 : a protective covering; Strengthening & flattening of scar tissue – day 14 onwards . The following often occur and are normal: Tingling or slight itching; Slight lumpy feeling as the new tissue forms; Bruising around the wound; Pulling feeling around your stitches. If bleeding occurs when you get home, take a clean tissue or towel and apply firm steady pressure directly on the wound for at least 5 minutes. Repeat this several times but if bleeding does not stop or is increasing, go to your GP or nearest A&E department.  Your stitches should be removed on by your GP practice nurse other. If your practice nurse is removing the stitches, you will have been given a referral letter to take to her. Please book an appointment to see her as soon as you can.  ·         Absorbable stitches -  These will disintegrate over time and will not need removing. This may take several months, and parts of the stitch may be outside the skin. You may need to book an appointment for your practice nurse to check the wound.  ·         Steri-strips / Butterflies - These are strips of adhesive tape. Do not pull them off -they will fall off when their job is done!
