What Are Heat-Related Illnesses?
Prolonged or intense exposure to hot temperatures can cause heat-related illnesses such as heat exhaustion, heat cramps, and heat stroke (also known as sun stroke). As your body works to cool itself under extreme or prolonged heat, blood rushes to the surface of your skin. As a result, less blood reaches your brain, muscles, and other organs. This can interfere with both your physical strength and your mental capacity, leading, in some cases, to serious danger.
By reducing excessive exposure to high temperatures and taking other precautionary steps, most heat-related illnesses can be avoided. Those who work in hot or humid environments -- such as manufacturing plants, bakeries, or construction sites during summer months -- are most at risk. However, even long, hot afternoons at the beach can pose problems if warning signs are ignored.
With prompt treatment, most people recover completely from heat-related illness. However, heat stroke can be deadly if not properly managed.
What Causes Heat-Related Illnesses?
Heat-related illness can strike anyone. But chronic alcoholics, the elderly, the young, the obese, and individuals whose immune systems may be compromised are at greater risk, as are individuals taking certain drugs, such as antihistamines, antipsychotic medications, and co***ne. High humidity also increases the risk of heat illness because it interferes with the evaporation of sweat, your body's way of cooling itself. The reasons that people have heat related illnesses can be broken into two main categories:
Exercise-associated heat exhaustion or heat stroke and
Non-exertional classic heat stroke
Heat exhaustion, heat cramps, and heat stroke all occur when your body cannot cool itself adequately. But each is slightly different.
Heat exhaustion occurs when the body loses large amounts of water and salt through excessive sweating, particularly through hard physical labor or exercise. This loss of essential fluids can disturb circulation and interfere with brain function. Individuals who have heart, lung, or kidney problems or are on low-sodium diets may be particularly susceptible to heat exhaustion.
As in heat exhaustion, heat cramps can strike when the body loses excessive amounts of fluids and salt. This deficiency, accompanied by the loss of other essential nutrients such as potassium and magnesium, typically occurs during heavy exertion.
Heat stroke, the most serious of the heat-related illnesses, occurs when the body suffers from long, intense exposure to heat and loses its ability to cool itself. In prolonged, extreme heat, the part of the brain that normally regulates body temperature malfunctions. There is a decrease in the body's ability to sweat and, therefore, cool down. Those who have certain medical conditions that decrease the body's ability to sweat -- such as scleroderma or cystic fibrosis -- may be at greater risk of developing heat stroke
How to Reduce Body Heat Quickly and Get Relief
Reasons for rise
How to lower it
Body temperature measures the body’s ability to generate and get rid
of The normal temperature is often quoted as 98.6°F, but it can be slightly lower or higher. The average temperature of adults is between 97.8°F and 99.0°F.

Eating spicy, oily, or fried food. In addition, nuts, meats, and other
High-protein foods can contribute to heat stress.
Consuming drinks with caffeine or alcohol.
Performing intense physical exercise. This can cause an increase in heat since active muscles and related blood circulation activity create a lot of heat.
Having certain medical conditions that affect your body temperature, such as types of arthritis, leukemia, and neurological disorders.
Taking drugs that cause high body temperatures, such as certain antibiotics, opioids, and antihistamines.
Being dehydrated. Dehydration can lower your body’s ability to sweat to cool you down and support a normal temperature.
One health nutritionist Dr frank at professional human wellness executive recourses in anambra state, says, when your antioxidant is not balance with free radical wish can also short your immune system down, can also cause the body temperature to be high

Peppermint
Peppermint is known for its cooling properties due to its high menthol content, which makes one have the sensation of feeling cooler. You can make a hot or iced peppermint tea and drink it throughout the day. While hot tea may seem to make you feel hotter, drinking hot drinks may help you to sweat more and help to cool down your body.
Hydrating foods
Eat plenty of foods high in water content. Fruits such as cantaloupe, watermelon, and strawberries are good options.
Try eating lots of vegetables such as celery, cucumber, and cauliflower. You can eat these foods raw in a salad. Alternatively, add a bit of ice to incorporate them into a healthy smoothie since yogurt is also a cooling food.

Then exhale out through your nose.
This is one round.
Continue breathing like this for up to 5 minutes.
Dress accordingly
Play it cool in a hat with a wide brim and sunglasses if you’ll be in direct sunlight. You can even carry a parasol or umbrella.
Wear loose, lightly colored clothing in natural fabrics such as cotton, linen, or silk. Semi-synthetics such as rayon and modal can also be worn to combat body heat.
Aloe vera
The leaves and inner gel of this healing plant can help to lower body temperature.
You can apply aloe vera gel to your skin for a cooling effect. Either use the inside gel of a fresh plant or a pure aloe vera gel. For added benefits, keep it in the refrigerator before application.
Aloe vera can also be consumed internally. Use 2 tablespoons of fresh aloe vera gel per cup of water to make a drink.
Buttermilk
Drinking buttermilk may help to cool down your body and improve metabolism. It’s also full of probiotics (traditional buttermilk), vitamins, and minerals that will help to restore your body’s natural energy if you’re feeling drained by the heat.

TOPIC; FIBROID
Pay attention and listen very carefully
Everything you need to know about fibroids.
Uterine fibroids are non-cancerous tumors that grow from the muscle layers of the womb. These benign growths of smooth muscle can vary from the size of a bean to being as large as a melon.
They are also known as leiomyomas and myomas.
Fibroids affect around 30 percent of all women by the age of 35 years, and from 20 to 80 percent by the age of 50 years.
They usually develop between the ages of 16 to 50 years. These are the reproductive years during which estrogen levels are higher.
Fast facts on fibroids:
Fibroids are most common during the reproductive years.
It is unclear exactly why they form, but they appear to develop when estrogen levels are higher.
Most people experience no symptoms while some with symptoms, can include lower backache, constipation, and excessive or painful uterine bleeding leading to anemia.
There are four types of fibroid:
Intramural: This is the most common type. An intramural fibroid is embedded in the muscular wall of the womb.
Subserosal fibroids: These extend beyond the wall of the womb and grow within the surrounding outer uterine tissue layer. They can develop into pedunculated fibroids(the type that can grow inside or outside uterus), where the fibroid has a stalk and can become quite large.
Submucosal fibroids: This type can push into the cavity of the womb. It is usually found in the muscle beneath the inner lining of the wall.
Cervical fibroids: Cervical fibroids take root in the neck of the womb, known as the cervix.
The classification of a fibroid depends on its location in the womb.
Symptoms
Around 1 in 3 women with fibroids will experience symptoms which may include:
heavy, painful periods, also known as menorrhagia
anemia from heavy periods
lower backache or leg pain
constipation
discomfort in the lower abdomen, especially in the case of large fibroids
frequent urination
pain during in*******se, known as dyspareunia
Other possible symptoms include:
labor problems
pregnancy problems
fertility problems
repeated miscarriages.
If fibroids are large, there may also be weight gain and swelling in the lower abdomen.
Once a fibroid develops, it can continue to grow until menopause. As estrogen levels fall after menopause, the fibroid will usually shrink.
Causes
It remains unclear exactly what causes fibroids but may relate to estrogen levels because, during the reproductive years, estrogen and progesterone levels are higher and when this happen fibroids have 97% of chance to develop.
When estrogen levels are high, especially during pregnancy, fibroids tend to swell. They are also more likely to develop when a woman is taking birth control pills that contain estrogen.
Low estrogen levels can cause fibroids to shrink, such during and after menopause.
Genetic factors are thought to impact the development of fibroids. Having a close relative with fibroids increases the chance of developing them.
Excessive exercise can change your hormone and when that happen your estrogen can be have giving hand to fibroids and also being overweight or obese increases the risk of fibroids. There is also evidence that red meat, alcohol, and caffeine could increase the risk of fibroids, and that an increased intake of fruit and vegetables might reduce it. Someone with disease or infection has 73% of having fibroids.
Childbearing lowers the risk of developing fibroids. The risk reduces each time a woman gives birth.
Read here if only you are medical health (Diagnosis
As fibroids often do not show symptoms, they are usually diagnosed during routine pelvic examinations.
The following diagnostic tests can detect fibroids and rule out other conditions:
A doctor can create ultrasound images by scanning over the abdomen or by inserting a small ultrasound probe into the va**na. Both approaches may be needed.
An MRI(magnetic resonance imaging) can determine the size and quantity of fibroids.
A hysteroscopy uses a small device with a camera attached to the end to examine the inside of the womb. The device is inserted through the va**na and into the womb through the cervix. If necessary, the doctor can take a biopsy at the same time to identify potentially cancerous cells in the area.
A laparoscopy may also be performed. In a laparoscopy, the doctor makes a small opening in the skin of the abdomen and inserts a small tube with a lighted camera attached through the layers of abdominal wall. The camera reaches into the abdominopelvic cavity to examine the outside of the womb and its surrounding structures. If necessary, a biopsy can be taken from the outer layer of the womb.
Your privacy is important to us
Treatment
Birth control medication can be used to shrink fibroids.
Treatment is only recommended for those women experiencing symptoms as a result of fibroids. If the fibroids are not affecting quality of life, treatment may not be necessary.
Fibroids can lead to heavy periods, but if these do not cause major problems, one may choose not to have treatment.
During menopause, fibroids often shrink, and symptoms often become less apparent or even resolve completely.
When treatment is necessary, it can take the form of medication or surgery. The location of the fibroids, the severity of symptoms, and any future childbearing plans can all affect the decision.
Medication
The first line of treatment for fibroids is medication.
A drug known as a gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRHa) causes the body to produce less estrogen and progesterone. This shrinks fibroids. GnRHa stops the menstrual cycle without affecting fertility after the end of treatment.
GnRH agonists can cause menopause-like symptoms, including hot flashes, a tendency to sweat more, va**nal dryness, and, in some cases, a higher risk of osteoporosis(arthritis).
They may be given before surgery to shrink the fibroids. GnRH agonists are for short-term use only.
Another option is GnRH antagonists, which stop the pituitary gland from making follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH). When a person takes GnRH antagonists, the ovaries stop making estrogen and progesterone.
Other medications are available, but they may be less effective in treating larger fibroids.
These include:
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Anti-inflammatory medications reduce the production of hormone-like lipid compounds called prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are associated with crampy periods, and they are thought to be associated with heavy menstrual periods. For those with fibroids, an NSAID may be effective at reducing fibroid pain, bleeding and may or may not affect fertility.
Birth control pills: Oral contraceptives help regulate the ovulation cycle, and they may help reduce the amount of pain or bleeding during periods.
Levonorgestrel intrauterine system (LNG-IUS): This plastic device is placed inside the womb. It then releases a hormone called levonorgestrel over an extended timeframe. The hormone stops the inside lining of the womb from growing too fast, which reduces menstrual bleeding. Adverse effects include irregular bleeding for up to 6 months or longer, headaches, breast tenderness, and acne. In some cases, it can stop periods.
Surgery
Severe fibroids may not respond to more conservative treatment options, and surgery may be necessary.
Doctor may consider the following procedures:
Hysterectomy: A hysterectomy is the partial or total removal of the womb. This is considered for treating extremely large fibroids or excessive bleeding. A total hysterectomy can prevent the return of fibroids. If a surgeon also removes the ovaries and fallopian tubes, side effects can include reduced libido and early menopause.
Myomectomy: This is the removal of fibroids from the muscular wall of the womb. It can help women who still want to have children. Women with large fibroids, or fibroids located in particular parts of the womb, may not benefit from this surgery.
Endometrial ablation: Removing the lining inside of the womb may help if fibroids are near the inner surface of the womb. Endometrial ablation may be an effective alternative to a hysterectomy for some women with fibroids.
Uterine artery embolization (UAE), more specifically uterine fibroid embolization (UFE): Cutting off the blood supply to the area shrinks the fibroid. Guided by fluoroscopic X-ray imaging, a chemical is injected through a catheter into the arteries supplying blood to any fibroids. This procedure reduces or removes symptoms in up to 90 percent of people with fibroids but is not suitable for women who are pregnant and typically not for those who still wish to have children.
MRI-guided percutaneous laser ablation: An MRI scan is used to locate the fibroids. Fine needles are then inserted through the skin and body tissues of the patient and pushed until they reach the targeted fibroids. A laser fiber device is inserted through the needles. A laser light is sent through the device to shrink the fibroids.
MRI-guided focused ultrasound surgery: An MRI scan locates the fibroids, and high energy ultrasound waves are delivered to shrink them).
Natural treatments
There is no proven natural treatment for fibroids. However, keeping weight down through exercise and a healthful diet may help to moderate estrogen levels.
Complications
In severe cases, fibroids can lead to infertility.
Fibroids do not normally result in complications, but if they occur, they can be serious and even life-threatening.
Complications may include:
Menorrhagia, also called heavy periods: This can sometimes prevent a woman from functioning normally during menstruation, leading to depression, anemia, and fatigue.
Abdominal pain: If fibroids are large, swelling and discomfort may occur in the lower abdomen. They may also cause constipation with painful bowel movements.
Pregnancy problems: Preterm birth, labor problems, and miscarriages may occur as estrogen levels rise significantly during pregnancy.
Infertility: In some cases, fibroids can make it harder for the fertilized egg to attach itself to the lining of the womb. A submucosal fibroid growing on the inside of the uterine cavity may change the shape of the womb, making conception more difficult.
Leiomyosarcoma: This is a rare form of cancer that is thought by some to be able to develop inside of a fibroid in very rare cases.
Other serious complications include acute thromboembolism, deep vein thrombosis (DVT), acute renal failure, and internal bleeding.
A woman with fibroids who suddenly develops severe abdominal pain should contact her doctor immediately. You can also contact us on 08106041310, 07015576026
