This internal bleeding stretches the skin and the surrounding tissue. Old injuries can also cause swollen joints because of fluids that build up in the joint.

What are the symptoms of Swollen Joints?

Swollen joints are often accompanied by pain and sometimes bruising. The swollen joint area will also feel warm to the touch. In many cases, an old joint injury can flare up and swell from collected fluids that have gathered in the joint area. Do joints act as a barometer? They sure do, as the joint injuries can respond to barometric pressure due to weather changes. Now, if a joint is not only just swollen but is red and/or hot to the touch, it is inflamed. The inflammation could be due to a bacteria, virus or fungus attacking the joint which results in infection. If symptoms of inflammation is accompanied by and/or lasts for more than a week, or the joint has been punctured, see your immediately, as these can be signs of a serious condition.

What are the causes of Swollen Joints?

Although swollen joints can be caused by injuries, it is always helpful to get an examination to rule out a multitude of ailments such as arthritis, gout and tendonitis. In most instances, swollen joints will be caused by a form of arthritis, the most common being Osteoarthritis and Rheumatoid arthritis. Less include infectious diseases like influenza, hepatitis and chickenpox.

Thus, a frequent method is to keep under observation the patients with appendicitis suspicion for a temporal interval, to see their evolution. The problem may disappear, or develop to classic appendicitis or other disease.

It is the duty of the surgeon to eliminate the suspicion for any other condition similarly to appendicitis or that has similar symptoms. Such conditions are:

* - Meckel's diverticulitis represents little excrescences of the small intestine which are usually found in the lower right next to the . Same as the appendix, the diverticulum can rupture or inflame and it is necessary to take it out by surgical intervention.

* - . Found closely to the appendix, the ovary and the right fallopian tube may be affected by sexually transmitted of infectious nature, but in most of the cases medication using antibiotics can successfully replace surgery.

* - Right conditions of inflammatory nature. Diseases like , gallbladder disease or affections of the liver may generate fluids drain from upper to lower right abdomen and cause a very similar inflammation to that of the appendix.

* - Right =96 side diverticulitis. By exception from the common situation of the left sided diverticulitis of the colon, there can also appear on the right side and, when rupturing, have a strong similarity to appendicitis.

* - Affections of the right kidney such as abscess which, due to the close position of the kidney to the appendix may simulate appendicitis.

Because many conditions of the abdomen share the same symptoms, the causes are in more than one case difficult to determine, but the good thing is that only few abdominal affections are so serious to require more than medication at home. So, the nature of pain is more likely to be determined by severity, location or other aspects.

There are several activities that can worsen a hernia condition such as lifting heavy weights and objects, coughing, or even straining during movement of bowels.

A hernia condition is like a barrel with a hole in its side and a balloon that is blown up inside the barrel with part of the balloon straining to push through the hole with part of it bulging out of the hole. The barrel is the abdominal wall and the balloon is the intestine.

Developing a hernia may result in serious medical complications when or intestines are trapped. In medical term, this complication is called . The human organ tissues such as the intestine may have their blood supply cut off, leading to severe damage or even death of the tissue. When incarceration happens, a is required to repair the damage. If immediate surgery is not undertaken to correct incarceration, it could be potentially fatal.

Hernia victims will usually feel pain or dull discomfort in the . Sometimes localized swelling will appear on the abdomen or in the groin area.

The most common area for hernias to occur is in the groin or inguinal area. This condition is called . This is because there is a natural anatomical weakness in this abdominal area. Also, the upright position of the human posture places a greater force at the bottom of the abdomen causing increasing the stress on these weaker muscles of the abdominal wall.

These pressures, over time break down the supporting tissues thereby enlarging any pre-existing hole or resulting in a new hole on the abdominal wall. of hernias may occur or even coexist. These include indirect, direct, and femoral hernias, which are defined by the location of the opening hole of the hernia from the abdomen to the groin.

Another type of hernia, called the ventral hernia, occurs in the mid section of the abdomen, usually just above the navel. Hernias can also occur within the navel too.

Other types of hernia such as Epigastria, incision, lumbar, internal, umbilical and Spigellian all occur at different areas of the abdomen that are prone to muscular structural weaknesses. Internal hernias can be difficult to detect and is usually diagnosed only when incarceration sets in. This is because there are usually no external evidence of a lump or bulge on the abdominal wall. Immediate surgery must be performed or else serious medical complications will arise. Chris Chew was a former hernia patient.

It is usual that when a dog has heart failure, heart disease is also present in the body. However, it is true that in some cases, heart disease can be present, but never lead to .

When high diastolic pressures in the heart build up into the veins and capillaries, then congestive heart failure can occur, which in turn causes a leakage of fluid out of those vessels.

Heart failure is the end result of many different cardiac and pericardial diseases. These include:

=95 Decreased myocardial contractibility. This is a weak heart muscle, which is commonly seen with .

=95 . This is a leak in one of the four heart valves, as seen with mitral and .

=95 Increased myocardial stiffness, which impairs the heart's ability to fill with blood.

In the beginning, the can be quite mild and difficult to see. However the symptoms can become more severe in a short space of time. Some of the symptoms to look for are:

=95 Lack of energy =96 the dog becomes much less active and tires quickly during the later ;

=95 Poor appetite;

=95 Weight loss;

=95 Heavy breathing =96 the dog can show signs of difficulty in breathing, panting and coughing whilst resting;

=95 Coughing;

=95 Swollen abdomen - the dogs' stomach can enlarge as fluid accumulates in the liver and abdomen; and

=95 Change of mouth color =96 the color of the membranes of the mouth can be grayish rather than being a healthy pink color.

The first thing that is needs to be done though, is to manage the clinical signs of congestive heart failure by reducing the formation of edema and effusion and to increase the cardiac output, which is the delivery of blood to the tissues.

There are a wide variety of treatments available for Congestive Heart Failure, depending on the severity of the condition.

One of the most popular drugs used for this disease is Digitalis. This is a medication which belongs to a group called positive inotropic agents which help to increase the concentration of calcium in the heart muscle cells.

Diuretics are also another well known drug used for dogs with this condition. These drugs help to remove built up fluids that occur in the lungs and abdomen.

Monitor your dogs attitude and any changes in appearance when you spend time with your friend. It is essential to keep a diary of anything that varies from "the norm" so that you can show it to your vet. Check your dog on a daily basis for:

- breathing, see if it is heavy or labored; - loss or reduction of appetite; - restlessness; - fainting; and - profound lethargy.

However, it is important to remember, that canine congestive heart failure is a major disease and it is a necessity to have regular visits to your veterinarian to ensure that your dogs' needs are being met.

Although tummy tuck surgery is performed on both men and women, the procedure is usually requested by women who have no intention to conceive any more children. Whatever their exact motives, there are a lot of men and women thinking about having a tummy tuck done so that they can be happier with their own bodies. With so many people out there that are having performed you may find that it is a little difficult to find a suitably qualified doctor that is going to be able to carry out the procedure that you require.

Be sure to ask your plastic surgeon plenty of questions regarding the tummy tuck procedure and the possibility of any complications that could develop after the surgery.

Stage one of is the least advanced stage. This is where the cancer has been discovered relatively early in its development and has been confined to the ovaries only. In stage one, as in all the other stages of the disease spread, there are also sub stages, and they run as follows:

Stage 1a: The cancer is contained inside one

Stage 1b: The cancer has spread to both ovaries

Stage 1c: The cancer is contained to one ovary and there is some evidence of appearing on the ovary's surface.

Stage 1d: The cancer is contained to one ovary and there is some evidence of cancerous cells found in the abdominal fluids.

Stage 1e: The cancer is contained to one ovary and the ovary ruptures either before or during surgery.

In stage two of ovarian cancer, the cancer has spread to be outside the ovaries. The sub stages of stage two run as follows:

Stage2a: The cancer has spread into the or the womb

Stage 2b: The cancer has grown into other tissues in the . These can be either the rectum or the bladder.

Stage 2c: The cancer has spread into the fallopian tubes or the womb as well as other tissues in the pelvis as well as there is some cancer on the surface of at least one ovary

Stage 2d: The cancer has spread into the fallopian tubes or the womb as well as other tissues in the pelvis as well as are found in abdominal fluid during surgery.

Stage 2e: The cancer has spread into the fallopian tubes or the womb as well as the ovary ruptures before or during surgery

Stage three of the ovarian cancer's development means the cancer has spread outside the pelvis into the abdominal cavity. The cancer is also designated as being stage there if cancerous cells are found in the lymph nodes of the upper abdomen or groin.

The sub stages of stage three run as follows:

Stage 3a: Cancer can be seen under the microscope in tissue taken from the lining of the abdomen (peritoneum)

Stage 3b: Tumorous growths smaller than 2cm are discovered on the lining of the abdomen

Stage 3c: Tumorous growths smaller than 2cm are discovered on the lining of the abdomen, or the lymph nodes in the upper abdomen, or the groin or behind the womb contain cancer.

Stage four is the most advanced of all forms of ovarian cancer, where the cancer has spread into other body organs such as the liver or lungs. Fred Camaros is a medical researcher and writer.

The Importance of Having Realistic Expectations

Liposuction isn't an overnight cure for obesity. Possible candidates for liposuction need to be aware of the limitations of the procedure and how long it can take to see results post-surgery.

You will lose inches, not weight, from having liposuction. In fact, it can take several weeks to three months to see the results. The area worked on will be swollen in the weeks following the surgery.

Additionally, having fat removed from one section of your body, like your , will not affect the rest of your body. In time you will be able to see your smaller waist in the mirror and you may be able to fit into smaller jeans, but if you still have extra pockets of fat in other places on your body, they will remain. Liposuction is not a total body restructuring process. The purpose of liposuction is to take care of the fat in problem areas that don't change with diet and exercise.

Liposuction and Scarring

The number one thing that keeps people from having liposuction, aside from the cost, is the fear of scarring. Though years ago scarring was a big problem, modern technology makes it possible to have minimal scarring. There will be two small incisions which are normally made in spots that can be hidden pretty well, like under the arm and near the bikini line.

Dark scars don't last, either. You can expect them to fade to a white line within a year after the surgery until they are nearly invisible. If you are still afraid of having , there are products on the market to reduce the look and pigmentation of scars.

The

Liposuction is considered cosmetic surgery and, therefore, is not covered by most .

The average liposuction on the abdomen runs around $8,000. Having multiple areas done at one time costs more and having other areas, like the sagging fat under your arms, costs much less. The actual cost of the liposuction varies quite a bit form surgeon to surgeon and can also depend on where you have it done. Some surgeons do outpatient treatment in their office, while others use a hospital to perform the surgery.

Deciding on Liposuction

As with any surgery, Liposuction poses some risks. In addition to the usual side effects and risks from anesthesia, you will likely experience:

=95 Pain =95 Swelling =95 Bruising =95 Numbness =95 Scarring =95 Limited movement

Since the side effects wear off rather quickly and the fat will be gone forever, you have to decide if liposuction is the right option for you. Family members and your doctor can offer opinions to consider, but the decision to have liposuction is completely up to you. http://Cosmeticscanada.com provides liposuction surgery, cosmetic facial surgery, laster cosmetic surgery - in Toronto, Ontario. http://www.cosmeticscanada.com/liposuction-surgery.html ]]> Voorhees Venous Health: Prevent Spider Veins Arcing On Your Abdomen http://www.artwoo.com/article/voorhees-venous-health-prevent-spider-veins-arcing-on-your-abdomen http://www.artwoo.com/article/voorhees-venous-health-prevent-spider-veins-arcing-on-your-abdomen#comments Tue, 29 Jul 2008 04:01:29 +0000 treatment of spider veinsvein wallsproper measureslifestyle habitsexcess pressurelifestyle changeslaser treatments http://www.artwoo.com/article/voorhees-venous-health-prevent-spider-veins-arcing-on-your-abdomen proper measures are taken.

When excess pressure is placed on vein valves, spider veins arcing on abdomen can occur. The valves in veins are what open and close to allow blood to flow throughout the body and back to the heart. These valves can malfunction if placed under stress and often don't function as well over time, as the body naturally ages. This occurs as vein walls, along with other areas of the body, respond to age and the valves stop working as efficiently as they once had. This issue is different for each person and many find that their body's have their own unique way of responding to age and how it affects the body.

Swollen lips don't just look bad, they can also the speech and possibly even limit what the person can eat.

The form of eczema that affects the lips is known as cheilitis. This causes roughness to the lips and can make them very sensitive, causing them to itch. Contrary to popular belief, this type of eczema is by no means contagious.

For most people this eczema starts off with just a few on both of their lips, sometimes they are difficult to see, however the sufferer is perfectly aware of them because they are painful to the touch. These rough patches are not normally located inside the mouth, normally they are located where the lip joins onto the normal skin of the face.

Chemicals contained in toothpaste or mouthwash can be a contributing factor to eczema, and so this should be considered.

However, it is in a small number of cases that hyperplasia will be severe enough to require a surgical procedure or medicines. Either way, an enlarged prostate is very uncomfortable and painful so it is not a condition that should go undiagnosed.

A normal prostate is slightly larger than a peanut and weighs around 20 to 30 grams. A swollen prostate can weigh anywhere from 50 to 100 grams. It should also be stated that prostatic hyperplasia is not a sign of prostate cancer. When you go in to the doctor to determine if you have an enlarged prostate, before the doctor can diagnose you they will test you for numerous things to make sure that it is prostatic hyperplasia instead of cancer.

There are several symptoms that will help you determine if you should visit the doctor for a diagnosis. The first sign of an enlarged prostate is as well as feeling overall uncomfortable. As the problem persists, you will have a frequent , which is shortly followed by not being able to urinate at all.

After the doctor has determined your condition, you will have several treatment options. In most cases the doctor will try medicines first. Finasteride is an approved drug that forces the prostate gland to shrink naturally. The doctor will also prescribe an Alpha-blocker that helps relieve the pressure of the enlarged prostate.

In the event that the medicines were not effective, there are two types of surgery procedures that can be done. The first surgery procedure is the transurethral resection of the prostate. This is when the specialist will scrape an amount of tissue from the core of the prostate to help relieve pressure. The second option that many men are requesting is the transurethral incision of the prostate. Instead of scraping away at the core, the specialist will make several cuts in the gland to help relieve pressure.

Words to strike fear into any 's heart. But what is colic? What signs should you look for?

Colic refers to pain originating in the . Generally do not tolerate abdominal pain very well. So if there is any disturbance of gut function they tend to show signs of pain.



Signs of mild discomfort might be stretching, standing as if to urinate, and pawing the ground. If he is more painful the horse will get up and down, and roll to try to get more comfortable. He will start sweating. More serious cases will get up and down and roll constantly.

If you think your horse has colic, you should call an experienced straight away. He or she will be able to provide emergency pain relief and decide whether further treatment is necessary.

What can you do while you wait for the vet to arrive? Taking your horse for a walk often helps. It may encourage his guts to work normally and soothe the pain. It may also prevent him down to roll. If he is lying down quietly then let him stay there.

It used to be thought that a horse could cause a twisted gut by rolling. That is probably not true. But it is best to prevent him rolling if you can. That way you will prevent him injuring himself by banging himself on the stable walls. But be careful that you don't get injured yourself. Horses often forget all their normal manners when they are in pain.

There are many different reasons for horses to get colic. But often the signs look similar regardless of the cause.

What will the vet do to investigate the problem? He or she will listen to the abdomen with a stethoscope to tell whether there is more or less activity in the gut than normal.

The heart rate gives a good indication of the severity of the pain and the seriousness of the problem. A horse with a probably does not have a serious problem. Whereas a high heart rate is not such a good sign.

A very useful part of the examination is the rectal examination. By feeling the intestines, the vet may be able to identify the cause of the problem. It goes without saying that this is a very skilled procedure, that is potentially hazardous for both the vet and the horse. But for an experienced equine vet the information it gives is invaluable in deciding the nature of the problem. It may reveal a blockage, or a swollen loop of intestines as a result of a twist or other intestinal catastrophe.

In all but the most straightforward cases the vet may pass a tube through the nose into the stomach . It sounds unpleasant but often may make the horse more comfortable by releasing the pressure in the stomach. It can also give the vet useful information about whether the stomach is emptying properly.

Sometimes the horse is in so much pain that it is impossible for the vet to examine him properly without first giving a dose of sedative or pain killer.

Only by considering all of the signs revealed by a careful examination is the vet able to make a tentative diagnosis. Even then it may not be possible to tell exactly what is going on.

Sometimes, after the first examination, it will be apparent that the horse needs emergency surgery. But more usually the vet will decide to treat the horse with a short-acting pain-killer and review his condition after a couple of hours. Most cases show a rapid improvement. But some will either not respond to the treatment, or they will improve at first, only to start showing signs of pain again later.

Rather than having to call the vet out several times, it is usually better to transport these cases to a specialist equine practice where they can be monitored closely and surgery can be performed if necessary.

Fortunately the vast majority of cases respond to medical treatment. But if surgery is needed - it is important to operate early. The chance of a successful outcome is much better if the operation is carried out before too much damage has occurred. About The Author: Copyright 2006 by Mark Andrews / Equine Science Update.

Hemorrhoids or piles are distended veins inside the anus which are swollen and inflamed. Hemorrhoids are either inside the anus (internal) or under the skin around the anus (external).

What is the cause of hemorrhoids?

Hemorrhoids usually result from straining to pass the stool out of anus. Other contributing factors include pregnancy, aging, chronic constipation or diarrhea.

What are the ?

The most common symptom of is .Bright red blood may be seen covering the stool, on toilet paper, or dripping from the anus into the toilet bowl.

There may be pain too especially if the stool is hard. This could be due to the hard stools pressing on the swollen piles or due to a tear in the inner lining of the anus.

A painful swelling or a hard lump around the anus may occur when a blood clot forms. This condition is known as a .

In addition, excessive straining, rubbing, or cleaning around the anus may cause irritation with bleeding and/or itching.

How common are hemorrhoids?

Hemorrhoids are very common in both men and women. About half of the population have hemorrhoids by age 50.

Hemorrhoids are also common among pregnant women. The pressure of the fetus in the abdomen, as well as hormonal changes, cause the hemorrhoidal vessels to enlarge. For most women, however, hemorrhoids caused by pregnancy are temporary.

When are hemorrhoids diagnosed?

A thorough examination and proper diagnosis by the doctor is important any time bleeding from the rectum or blood in the stool occurs. Bleeding may also be a symptom of other , including .

The doctor will examine the anus and rectum to look for swollen blood vessels that indicate hemorrhoids and will also perform a digital rectal exam with a gloved, lubricated finger to feel for abnormalities.

Closer evaluation of the rectum for hemorrhoids requires an exam with a , useful for more completely examining the entire rectum.

To rule out other causes of gastrointestinal bleeding, the doctor may examine the rectum and the entire colon with colonoscopy.

Colonoscopy is a diagnostic procedure that also involve the use of lighted, flexible tube inserted through the rectum.

What is the treatment?

a. Medical treatment of hemorrhoids is aimed initially at relieving symptoms. Measures to reduce symptoms include:

1. tub baths several times a day in plain, warm water for about 10 minutes 2. application of a hemorroidal cream or suppository to the affected area. 3. medicines such as daflon to shrink the swollen blood vessel.

b. surgical treatment:A number of methods may be used to remove or reduce the size of internal hemorrhoids.

These techniques include

1. Rubber band ligation. A rubber band is placed around the base of the hemorrhoid inside the rectum. The band cuts off circulation, and the hemorrhoid withers away within a few days.

2. Sclerotherapy. A chemical solution is injected around the blood vessel to shrink the hemorrhoid.

3. Laser coagulation. A special device is used to burn hemorrhoidal tissue.

4. Hemorrhoidectomy. Occasionally, extensive or severe internal or external hemorrhoids may require removal by surgery known as hemorrhoidectomy.

5. A new method is the Longo technique. It involve using a circular stapling device which removes a ring of tissue in the lower anus pulling the enlarged piles up within the anus. The staples also interrupt the blood supply to the piles.

How do you prevent hemorrhoids?

The best way to prevent hemorrhoids is to keep stools soft so they pass easily, thus decreasing pressure and straining, and to empty bowels as soon as possible after the urge occurs.

Drink lots of water at least eight glasses a day.

Eating the right amount of fiber result in softer, bulkier stools. A softer stool makes emptying the bowels easier and lessens the pressure on hemorrhoids caused by straining. Good sources of fiber are fruits, vegetables, bran bread, and whole grains.

Avoid food which cause local irritation of anus (spicy food,alcohol) or bowel excitation (coffee,tea)

Exercise, including walking, swimming, help reduce constipation and straining by producing stools that are softer and easier to pass.

Avoid certain sports such as cycling and horse -riding because of the pressure exerted on the anal region.

Avoid sitting in hot places for too long.

Use the toilet at a fixed time eg. after drinking a big glass of water, when you wake up.

People are generally confused and tensed when they hear about Abdominal Liposuction. There are many about it like for example some people say that liposuction could give a flattened shape to your , face or neck. Yes this is true, liposuction is a that permanently removes the fat in a particular area and helps stimulate and tighten the skin thus giving it a more firm and toner appearance. Liposuction is also done on the face, arm, chin, breast and pubic areas, but the most common one as per statistics is the abdominal liposuction. This is really a boon to men and women who have crossed 40. People who cross 40 are most frustrated with their sagging abdomen and they find that exercises that concentrate on tummy are quite time consuming. Therefore most of the people prefer abdominal liposuction.

Pros of Abdominal liposuction

Liposuction is one of the most modern and safe cosmetic technique that helps patient look beautiful within two hours, Sounds interesting isn't it? The entire procedure takes two hours and the patients can resume their normal activities within 48 hours. This procedure is utilized by people whose abdomen begins to accumulate fat. Men usually have fats deposited in the abdomen thus leading to large belly and women call it love handles. Women usually experience this after their delivery. Liposuction is a very safe procedure and it helps people regain their . Today the job market relies on ; therefore liposuction acts like a savior to those who lack natural beauty.

Research from Christopher Freville, a scientist at Detroit, shows that Liposuction also helps people prevent many health problems because researchers have proved that health problems are caused mainly due to fats deposited around the middle part of the body. By removal of fats, people will suffer less from due to cholesterol, diabetes, etc.

Cons of Abdominal Liposuction

As every good thing has side effects, liposuction also has its own disadvantage. If the abdominal liposuction is done to remove nominal fats then the patient can resume light desk jobs within 48 hours of the operation but if the fat amount is quite high then the patient might have to stay in the hospital overnight for supervision.

Risk factor comes only when large amount of fats are removed by abdominal liposuction. Fats in the body is removed by the doctor using stainless steel cannula, so when the amount of fat is less, the action is done with high precision but when the amount of fat is more the doctor tends to use big cannula so that he can suck the fats in larger quantity. This kind of action can sometimes puncture the nearby organs. Due to this the procedure can be sometimes fatal.

Therefore to avoid such risks the patient should go in for small sittings and remove small amount of fats instead of opting for one shot. Hence to avoid risks, understand the procedure well and go through the record of the doctor. Always find a doctor that specializes in abdominal liposculpture.
