Causes Of Asthma

Asthma is a chronic disease in the airways of the lungs. The cause of asthma is unknown. However, experts believe, asthma, genetic and environmental factors (eg family history of viral infections in infancy and early exposure to allergens) can cause asthma or fewer people who are sensitive to asthma triggers. But no one knows why some people with asthma and others do not. Allergies are often associated with asthma. However, not all allergic people have asthma. Although the causes of asthma are not known, doctors discovered two major reasons why the symptoms of asthma: Inflammation

If you have asthma, the mountain – or wall – inflammation of the airways (or swelling). This makes the airways sensitive to causing irritation and inflammation in asthma. swelling of the airways narrow, making it difficult for air (oxygen) through the airways and inhibit breathing in and out.

Airway Constriction

To further complicate the situation, some contact with water, asthma, the respiratory muscle around the airways narrow. This makes the airways narrow, and even provide a sense of tightness in the chest as the rope tightened around him. Mucus in the airways that leads to the granting of loss can breathe better.

The trigger that causes inflammation and narrowing of the airways can vary for different people. What is known is that, if the airway is associated with one of the many factors that cause asthma, inflammation, mucus, cut and fill. increase in respiratory mucosa, leading to a narrow airway.

Asthma results:

Pollen

Dust mites, cockroaches

Mold

Pet hair and dander

Changes in weather (especially cold air)

Respiratory tract infections

Cigarette smoke

Stress and Emotions

Exercise and physical activity

Allergic reactions, to food or sulfites (food preservative)

Heartburn / Acid Reflux

Certain medications (aspirin, beta blockers)

Uterine fibroids are benign tumors that develop in the uterus.

Uterine Fibroids

Uterine fibroids are benign tumors that develop in the uterus. They are the most common pelvic tumor, affecting as many as one in five women during their childbearing years. Doctors aren’t sure what causes fibroids, but it is thought that the hormones estrogen and progesterone encourage them to grow. fibroids usually affect women over the age of 30. They are rare in women under 20 and often shrink and cause no symptoms in women who have gone through menopause.

Symptoms and Tests

Most women who develop uterine fibroids are unaware of them because they often cause no symptoms. They may be discovered incidentally during another medical procedure or regular pelvic examination.

When symptoms of uterine fibroids do occur, they may include:

Heavy, long period

Cramping

Pain during intercourse

Back pain

An increase in urinary frequency

A pelvic examination may show an irregularly shaped or enlarged uterus.

Normally, this diagnosis is reliable. However, in some cases, an ultrasound will be used to help a doctor see how large the fibroids are and where they are growing.

Treatment

Treatment for uterine fibroids varies depending on age, overall health, the severity of symptoms, and fibroid size and location.

If symptoms are mild, a regularly scheduled pelvic exam may be enough to monitor the growth of fibroids. In many cases, uterine fibroids cause no medical problems and thus require no treatment.

However, if they do grow to the point of causing symptoms such as pain and heavy bleeding, treatments for uterine fibroids may include:

Birth control pills (oral contraceptives) to help control heavy periods

Intrauterine devices (IUDs) that release the hormone progestin to help reduce heavy bleeding and pain

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen for cramps or pain

Iron supplements to prevent or treat anemia due to heavy periods

Other types of hormonal therapy or surgery can also be used to treat more severe cases of uterine fibroids.
