WATER DOESN'T STOP HICCUPS!

Growing up, once any of us started having hiccups,mum would call out,'Bring🥛for him'. Once you drank it, the hiccups stopped😂

Well,the WATER didn't stop the HICCUP😂

What stopped it then?

Before I say, let me tell you a few things about HICCUPS👇 Though annoying,HICCUPS are a common part of life. It involves repeated spasms/sudden movements of the diaphragm that you can't control.

The diaphragm is the muscle separating your chest from your stomach area & plays a big role in breathing.

The spasms causes the 'HIC' sound.

I was discussing with a lactating mum on BREASTFEEDING & was shocked at things she was saying about BREAST MILK🤯

Clearly,our African mothers have promoted certain MYTHS about BM😂 & I'll correct them👇

1. BM in the breasts goes BAD if not given to baby after long hours
FALSE! BM in the breast NEVER goes BAD. It's not like a tank where water is stored. It's produced ON DEMAND &continually changes inside the breast to keep it fresh,perfect & meet the needs of the child per time

2. The initial BM produced after childbirth is BAD MILK
FALSE
That initial

My Boss @genakhena shared with me the story of a friend who had a CARDIAC ARREST,slumped & died in the UK😢

You may be wondering,'CA can happen in the UK of all places'? Just shows that CA can happen,no matter the person,place/status

FACTORS THAT CAN INCREASE THE RISK of a CA👇 1st off,WHAT IS CARDIAC ARREST?
Cardiac arrest is when the HEART stops beating SUDDENLY due to a BLOCKAGE.
The lack of blood flow to the brain & other organs can lead to loss of consciousness,disability/death if not treated immediately.

I like to divide the RISK FACTORS into 2;

Back in medical school,Kidney damage used to be for old folks but these days,I see alot of young people needing DIALYSIS😢

Alot of us don't realise how key the KIDNEY is,we do alot of things that put our kidneys at risk of DAMAGE.

5 THINGS THAT CAN DAMAGE YOUR KIDNEYS EARLY!🧵 SALT
Some of us use salt like perfume,pouring salt in food till the gods start begging you. You put salt in white rice,dodo & even hold a salt bottle when eating🤦‍♂️

EXCESS salt means KIDNEYS can't clear excess water leading to HIGH BP=KIDNEY DAMAGE!

You only need 1 teaspoon/day!

While we don't pray for any funny health incidents to occur at events, life happens & we must be ready as whatever we do can be the difference btw LIFE & DEATH.

It's a THREAD!✏️🧵

A common health issue that can happen at events is FAINTING/LOSS OF CONSCIOUSNESS.

A major feature associated with 'manhood' is EGO & nothing shatters that ego more than a seeming inability to sexually satisfy a woman. Premature ejaculation(PE) is a common issue in men, with 1 in 3 men experiencing it at some point in their lives.

Lets talk PE shall we? PE is when you have an orgasm before intercourse/less than A MINUTE after you start.The question that follows this is;HOW LONG SHOULD SEX LAST FOR BEFORE A MAN RELEASES?Averagely,5-7mins.
There are reasons (good/bad) that will make a man spend less/more time before ejaculation.

I saw this 1st last night on a whatsapp group. I laughed. Hard.

Then, this morning I saw it again on another whatsapp group! Then I knew 'THIS IS SERIOUS O'

For the purpose of education, #LetsTalkProstateIn10 this morning. @genakhena

A ROPE📿 1. The prostate is a small gland,the size of an AGBALUMO found around the urethra in men that produces the seminal fluid that nourishes & transports sperm.Thus Prostate Cancer affects the prostate. It's one of the commonest causes of male deaths in Nigeria.

For those who know me well, my love for +sized women is never in doubt 🙈.
Early uni days, I met a lady, Lara(definitely not her name🙄), thick to a fault, with the right obstacles 😍. That obviously attracted me.Then,I'd always tease her about her hairy nature..
#PCOSWithMedPlus 'I'm the only hairy one in my house' she'd always say.
As we got close,she told me about her irregular menses & how she felt she sounded like a guy. She was also always buying one facial cream or the other.'Nawa o. Why?' I asked.Her response?
'Can't you see how rough my face is?'

Nigerian Doctors and patients have a symbiotic, 'love-hate' relationship.
