2. Vaginal discharge
3. Lower tummy pain
4. Heavy menstrual bleeding
5. Bleeding in-between periods
6. Pain during sex (dyspareunia)
7. Feeling generally unwell
8. Vaginal odour
4 serious complications of untreated Pelvic Inflammatory Disease

1. Infertility
2. Ectopic pregnancy: pregnancy outside the uterus
3. Chronic pelvic pain: pain lasting months to years due to scarring.
4. Formation of pus (abscess) in your Fallopian tubes & ovaries.
If Pelvic Inflammatory Disease is diagnosed early, it can be treated with antibiotics. But treatment won't undo any damage that may have already been caused to your reproductive system.

The more you delay treatment, the more likely you will develop serious PID complications.
There's also the risk of getting re-infected after treatment. So, if you have Pelvic inflammatory Disease, your partner & other sexual contacts should be screened also.

Having an orgasm at least 3 times a week cuts in half your risks of coronary heart disease. Sex is a form of exercise!
For people without heart disease, sex is a good form of exercise which helps strengthen the heart, lower the blood pressure, reduce stress, & improve sleep.

So for people with a stable heart, the long-term benefits of regular sex & other physical activities outweigh this risk.
But people with existing heart diseases may have a heart attack during sex or any other physical activity that increases thier heart rate.

For them, it's not advisable to have sex especially when you have symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath, irregular heartbeat, etc

Wash your socks often🧦
Wash your socks often🧦

As you wear socks, they accumulate sweat, dirt, and germs. Wearing them dirty can cause a fungal infection called Athlete's Foot and infected under toes.

Wash or change your socks at least every 2 days.

RT for public awareness!
The germ that causes Athlete’s Foot (Tinea pedis) likes a warm, dark, and moist environments.

That's why it affects mainly the areas between the toes and the bottoms of the feet causing a whitish, scaly rash with a red base, burning, peeling, and occasional odour.
If left untreated, your fungal infection (Athlete's foot) may spread to other parts of the body.

It can also be transmitted to other people through shared floors, gym mats, towels, and other shared surfaces.

A premature baby is placed on his father's chest shortly after birth to regulate the baby's temperature like an incubator as his mother was still recovering from her caesarean section. This is called the Kangaroo Mother Care. 🦘

Months later, that's the boy.
Kangaroo mother care 🦘 is a method of holding a baby that involves skin-to-skin contact.

It can be done by both mothers and fathers on premature infants while they are still in the hospital.
Kangaroo mother care is beneficial to the baby in my ways. For e.g. it:

• Stabilizes your baby’s heart rate
• Improves your baby’s breathing
• Decreases your baby's crying
• Helps baby gain weight faster
• Helps baby sleep more
• Decreases hospital stay

5. Rush patient to hospital especially if:

- chest pain doesn't go away within 3 minutes of taking nitroglycerin or aspirin
- patient was not previously on any heart medications
- there's no medication to give them within the 3 minutes

6. Don't give water or food!
#HeartAttack
If patient is unconscious but still breathing normally:

1. Call your local emergency line (if available) or shout for help to move patient to hospital
2. Meanwhile, lower the person to the ground and keep his head relaxed in an erect position to aid breathing
