"Body dysmorphic disorder", If Ah Could Effect of bleeding

2011-12-20T18:53:00.000-08:00

"My breasts little doctor, see ya", said the patient, opening her bra. "Yes my doctor?" Added the mother who was young and beautiful again, as if to convince me that her breasts are small.

"Hmmm, this big breast still felt small, how big again," I muttered to myself. "I see your breasts are quite large, perhaps more than the average breast size of Indonesia", I said. "No doctor, I see my friends had a great-great doctor, I would like to have breasts like them", continued patient.

Hear the complaints of these patients, I remember the story of a young mother who never feel satisfied with the size of her breasts in an impressions on the National Geographic Channel. The story about this, this Mother two children, namely Mrs. M, but not Melinda, always feel, to think that small breasts. This feeling has been felt since their teens. Due to his mind that was always overshadowed by these feelings, feel something is missing in himself as a woman, he becomes insecure unattractive, beautiful, sexy and so forth.

Mrs. M was very obsessed with larger breasts, "large breasts is my dream, I could not live if impiaannya are not met, let me live that dream", he said in the footage.

To fulfill his dream, she underwent cosmetic surgery. Already carried out several operations, but he never felt satisfied. Last time, when customers refuse a plastic surgeon to perform another operation, he went to other plastic surgeons outside the U.S., according to comments on this physician customers, the breasts are very large, almost as big as a basketball.

The case of Mrs. M is, in medical science known as body dysmorphic disorder (BDD), a chronic mental disorder in which someone (you) can not stop thinking about your physical appearance deficiencies. This deficiency can be very simple, or even just the imagination only, so some say this disorder as an ugly imagination. For those people with BDD, the perceived shortcomings can sometimes make you become very embarrassed, to appear in public, you are ashamed to see, judging others, and in severe forms you like cooped up and even suicide.

BDD is also known as dysmorphophobia, fear of the deformity is perceived by a person. Fear, anxiety are highly exaggerated against defects, abnormalities in physical, which for others is considered ordinary or normal.

So, if you experience it, you'll always be obsessed with your appearance. You may feel less attractive, less confident, and as an example, if you primp, you can linger in the mirror, staring at your face that you think is not pretty, ugly, not normal. It could be you think your nose is too flat, your eyebrows are not attractive. Small issue for others, such as acne can make a big deal for this BDD sufferers.

Form of the pelvis that are considered less dense, containing no, not sexy, not sexy or too often pervaded her mind BDD sufferers. The pelvis is already big enough even considered yet.

So not surprisingly, these patients in day-to-day can be long hours in front of the mirror, back and forth merely mematut hip-matut it. Maybe he thinks it really small pelvis, not sexy, have to wear skirts that how to look more sexy, or what needs to propped and so, Whatever he did to manipulate the pelvis, the patient always felt is never satisfied, less confident.

In this regard, I once had a patient a middle-aged mother. In addition to the make-up is very menor, the smell of perfume was intense, very flashy clothes and jewelry. When I check, I see next to no padding her bra behind, in the pelvic area as well as many ganjalannya. In fact, the breast that I see is already quite big, hips too, but she still requires a greater buffer'll look again.

Then, once your child is, who often accompanies her mother for treatment, once nyelutuk, "Well doc, Mother before here waiting for a long time, she could be a few hours just to dress up".

According to research, the incidence of BDD is relatively common, about 1-2% of all populations, the incidence can even reach 7% -15% in the group who ran cosmetic surgery. Unfortunately, cosmetic surgery performed on patients with BDD generally do not cause them to become more happy and satisfied.

As a mental disorder, the cause of BDD is also not clear, could be a combination of structural and chemical brain disorders, genetic, environmental, such as trauma, life experiences, culture, community environment that emphasizes aspects of beauty, depression, lack of confidence and so on.

So, if your mind is often possessed by a matter of appearance, every time obsessed with negative thoughts about the physical deficiencies, you may perform cosmetic surgery repeatedly, primp for hours in front of the glass but never feel satisfied, you become confident and more Like exile, perhaps you suffer from BDD. If so, you should immediately consult a psychiatrist or psychologist.

Results of research conducted by experts from the University of Georgia, published in the Journal of Food Science mentions green leafy vegetables and colorful fruits can improve visual ability and prevent disease macular degeneration (age-related eye disease).

According to lead researcher, Billy R. Hammond, PhD, vegetables and fruits contain carotenoids such as lutein and zeaxanthin, which play an important role in vision and has positive benefits for the health of the retina. Lutein and zeaxanthin found in spinach and other green vegetables.

"Lutein and zeaxanthin reduce the discomfort associated with overly bright light, enhance contrast, sharp vision and even improve," said Hammond. He added, 20 kinds of carotenoids found in the body, but only lutein and zeaxanthin in the visual system. That's why these pigments play an important role in the functioning of human vision.

Plastic surgeon from the Metro Detroit United States Dr. Anthony Youn in the blog CNN says that the habit of smoking before or after breast tuck surgery can cause female nipple turn black and broken.

"Yes. Smokers who undergo major breast surgery at risk of losing their nipples. I have never seen this before," said Youn in his blog.

Youn explains, this phenomenon is caused because the content of nicotine and carbon monoxide contained in cigarette smoke contribute to inhibit blood flow to various parts of the body.

He added that if any part of the body that receive blood has too few or even none at all, then the body will die. This is often the case in the tiniest blood vessels, such as the nipple.

As evidence, Youn recounted his experience when dealing with a female patient smokers at which time it turned into a purple nipples when breast removal surgery. The color purple is the precursor or the introduction of black color, whereas black precursor of the fall or death.

This phenomenon continued Youn, occurs because the body's blood flow is inadequate to make it turn into purple. To help this patient and her breasts, Youn uses an unusual way.

He used leeches to bleed the animal from the gross body of the patient. The leech will help drain the blood longer retained due to blockage. With the help of this leech, nipple slowly changed from purple to pink or pink.

"We use these leeches regularly, until the body creates new blood vessels to do what the leech. This can last for days," said the author of the book "In Stitches" is.

For this reason, Yuon warning to everyone to stop smoking, because the effects of nicotine can cause damage to the body. He also suggested to the plastic surgeon to warn patients who smoke. This is the important message that needs to be submitted that:

"If you will do tuck surgery or breast reduction surgery and you smoke, your nipples may turn black and sagging. If you are going to do surgery tummy tuck and you smoke, you will probably have an infection that led to the emergence of an open wound that takes time up to three months to heal. If you are going to do surgery facelift and you smoke, your cheek skin will turn black and peel off leaving the fat deposits.

Faced man arrogantly More Attractive?

2011-07-04T00:16:00.001-07:00

Everyone likes a friendly face, which is characterized by a smile or a sense of enthusiasm. Staring friendly faces and happy as it clearly makes us feel close, feel welcome.

However, our subconscious may often be other wills. In a study conducted the University of British Columbia, shows that women prefer men who are not happy or not smiling, the first impression.

Previously, researchers interviewed more than 1,000 people to assess the attractiveness of men and women through photos. Some people in the photo looks a big smile, but others look haughty or arrogant (indicated by head and chest swelled up). While others just looked sheepish (head down, eyes are not staring at the camera).

Female respondents appear interested in the group of men are arrogant and shy. Apparently, she considers such expression represents a powerful and moody character. In contrast, male respondent judge, the woman who is the sexiest smile. They do not like the glum-faced woman, strong, or confident.

"In general, the results of this study reflect some of the traditional gender norms and cultural values that appear, grow, and grow stronger through history, at least in Western culture," said psychology professor Jessica Tracy, from UBC. "It also includes the norms and values is that for many people is outdated and probably hoping that we've already been through."

Hepatitis Ancestor Cancer!

2011-06-27T00:44:00.000-07:00

Any kind of disease should never be taken lightly. For example, hepatitis or inflammation of the liver condition.

According to Prof. Dr. H. Ali Sulaiman, PhD, SpPD-KGEH of the Division of Hepatology Department of Medicine Faculty of Medicine, University of Indonesia (Faculty of medicine), most people are less concerned with diseases and ignore this one because it considers the impact of indirect and time-consuming enough long.

In fact, hepatitis B and C are two types of diseases that could pose a serious threat, but also require expensive treatment.

"It must be told that hepatitis is a precursor to cancer, maybe people will be scared a little," Ali said on Friday (06/24/2011), in Jakarta.

According to Ali, based on the research titled "Chronic Hepatitis C Prevalence in Health Care Professionals" in 2008 revealed, about 3.4 million Indonesian population are infected with hepatitis C. And about 2 million infected with genotype 1 viruses that are difficult to treat.

"Hepatitis C have genotype, so the type 1 and 2. Type 1 (one) is the largest and hard to treat," he said.

For the treatment of genotype 1, Ali said could be done by injecting Pegasys. However, the price for this drug is still relatively still very expensive. Just imagine, once syringe Pegasys, it will cost between Rp 1 million and Rp 2 million.

"In fact, for genotype 1 (a) it must be injected 48 times," he said.

Given the still high cost of such treatment, Ali hopes to assistance from the government, the drug could be made generic. "Perhaps it is our hope in the effort if we really want to carry out eradication efforts hepatitis B and C," he said.

To control hepatitis, continued Ali, could not if the only priority one, whether it is hepatitis B or C. Because, both, according to Ali, are equally important and can be fatal if not treated properly. "Because both are equally to be cancer," he said.

Hepatitis can be caused by many things, including viral infections, parasites, bacteria, chemicals, auto immunity, drugs, alcohol as well. Hepatitis B and C can develop into cirrhosis and liver cancer, it can even lead to the need for liver transplantation.

Good news is that hepatitis B can be prevented through vaccination, and most infections with hepatitis C can be cured.

"Arginine trigger the production of nitric oxide, which makes your blood vessels relax, the basic effect that Viagra has, to overcome erectile dysfunction or possibly prevent it," said Bhimu Patil, a researcher and director of Texas A & M's Fruit and Vegetable Improvement Center.

"Watermelon may not be for certain organs such as Viagra, but this is a great way to relax blood vessels without any drug side effects," said Patil.

According to research, more citrulline are found in the skin of the watermelon which is about 60 percent than in the flesh. However, the rates can also vary. Citrulline can also be found in all colors of watermelon and is highest abortion is a kind of yellow watermelon.

Although the findings are quite phenomenal, Todd Wehner, Watermelon researchers at North Carolina State University, argues that anyone who used to mengomsumsi Viagra should not expect to get the same benefits of watermelon.

"It seems that watermelon can give an interesting effect, but this is not a substitute for drug therapy" emphasized Wehner.

While Penelope Perkins-Veazie, researchers United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) in Lane, Oklahoma, opinion, research conducted by Patil is valid but with one important note. According to him, to get citrulline that can stimulate the body's arginine level, one must take at least six glasses (about 1.4 liters) of watermelon.

"Masalahnyam when eating too much watermelon, you tend to frequent the restroom," added Perkins-Veazie.

Watermelon is a diuretic or indeed increase the speed of formation of urine. Another problem, says Perkins-Veazie, is the sugar content is so great that would overflow into the blood vessels so feared cause cramps.

According to Patil, whose research is funded by USDA, nitric oxide can also help patients with angina, high blood pressure and other cardiovascular diseases. Patil and his team berencara continued research to identify mechanisms to reduce the sugar content in watermelon.

Scientific PROOF that soy beneficial for the prevention of cancer appear to continue to grow. Nuts are rich in protein content is believed to be having an enormous potential against the growth of breast cancer, especially if consumed since puberty.

Researchers from Georgetown Medical Center research report published in British Journal of Cancer emphasizes that women should eat high ABG made from soy if you want to avoid the risk of breast cancer. In soybeans, according to investigators contained a kind of important chemical called genistein that is claimed to be effective against cancer.

Nevertheless, major challenges still faced by the researchers in the use of these substances in soy genistein. They have to make sure how soy can be used appropriately to provide protection of adolescent women from this vicious disease.

¨ The timing seems important in the use of this bioactive food, and if we can reveal why these substances can protect, then we can provide payudaa cancer prevention in a broader scope, "said researcher Leena Hilaviki-Clarke, PhD, professor of oncology at the Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center in Georgetown.

Although there are various theories that explain the relationship while soy to the prevention of cancer. ¨ However, there is currently no convincing explanation about why the cancer risk reduction effects are stronger during childhood and early puberty, ° he added.

So far, there are only three research that examines the benefits of soy in puberty and its influence on the development of advanced-stage breast cancer. Two of the research has focused on Asian women who eat soy in the daily menu.

This research indicates that soy offers a very strong protective effect - which is about 50 percent lower risk of breast cancer - when consumed during childhood and early adolescence.

According Hilakivi-Clarke, in fact the strongest evidence revealed through a variety of research in mice. From this animal research, data on exposure to genistein in pre puberty is very consistent in showing decreased risks of cancer. Exposure to genistein in fetal development or in adulthood did not show precisely the same impact protection.

Further testing in rats showed that the use of genistein in puberty can suppress levels of terminal end buds (terminal end buds) or structures that cause the growth of mammary epithelial tissue, where the cells lining the milk ducts, and in the epithelial cells of breast cancer is growing.
