Gallbladder Stones: Causes and Symptoms https://www.medicoexperts.com/nigeria/general-surgery In human body, gallbladder is a tiny organ attached to liver and responsible for storage of extra bile - a substance that facilitates absorption and breaking down of fats - produced by the liver. However, the efficiency of gallbladder is not always uniform and sometimes thick form of bile can lead to blockage in its pathways. This inefficiency may also lead to formation of gallstones in some individuals. Gallstones size may vary from a small grain to a golf ball and causes several acute and chronic complications in body, which may force a patient to undergo gallbladder removal surgery.

Symptoms A person having gallstones may experience pain in abdomen area, especially after consumption of fatty foods, which may last for a few hours.

Myomectomy surgery in Nigeria Prior to the intervention of the expert surgeons of India, myomectomy surgery in Nigeria was performed in the form of open surgery. But with the intervention of the top surgeons of India, laparoscopic procedures were introduced in Nigeria and resulted in the improvement of condition for the betterment of patients. The affordability of the surgical procedures performed by the renowned Indian doctors to remove uterine fibroids made it a preferable option for the Nigerian women. Instead of traveling all the way to India for the surgery, they can now avail the treatment in Nigeria.

The highly qualified Indian surgeons with the use of advanced tools and techniques are now able to provide surgical solutions to them locally. Without the patients having to travel overseas, the Indian surgeons are providing effective care at the comfort of the Nigerian patients. Through different surgical and OPD camps, the best surgeons of India are continually delivering quality healthcare solutions to the people in Nigeria. What is Myomectomy surgery? Myomectomy surgery refers to the surgery type performed for the removal of uterine fibroids. The general symptoms of myomectomy include heavy periods, irregular bleeding, pelvic pain, or frequent urination. However, Nigerian women seek this procedure to treat infertility issues and issues in conceiving. While gynecology surgery in Nigeria is being performed widely, the knowledge and expertise of the surgeons from India are increasing the success rates of the surgeries. The Different Techniques of Myomectomy Surgery There are three different techniques that the expert Indian surgeons use while performing myomectomy surgery. Depending on the number and type of fibroids to be removed, the doctors use the right technique. The three ways of performing myomectomy surgery are: · Abdominal Myomectomy When a patient is detected with Intramural or subserosal fibroids that are large in number or size, the surgeons perform abdominal myomectomy. Being a major surgical process, the experienced surgeons of India carefully make an incision on the lower abdomen and remove the fibroids from the uterus walls. Women having very large fibroids or many fibroids are the right candidate for abdominal myomectomy. · Hysteroscopic Myomectomy When a woman in Nigeria is detected with submucous fibroids in the uterine cavity, the Indian doctors recommend them to undergo hysteroscopic myomectomy. This type of gynecology surgery is performed with the use of a hysteroscopic resectoscope. The medical instrument is passed into the uterine cavity through the vagina and cervix, and the fibroids are removed. · Laparoscopic Myomectomy Laparoscopic myomectomy is another popular type of surgery that is performed by the top surgeons from India. Laparoscopic myomectomy is recommended for the women who have been detected with a smaller number of subserous fibroids. With tiny incisions, the surgeons easily remove the fibroids and help in providing faster recovery to the patients. For the Nigerian women laparoscopic myomectomy is a better option as it assures faster recovery, lesser hospital stays and minimal scarring. The chances of complications are also little to none. The Preparation for Myomectomy Surgery On being detected with uterine fibroid, the doctor may prescribe you certain medications before undergoing surgery. The prescribed medicines help in reducing the size of the fibroids, making them easier to be removed. Before the surgery, you may need to undergo certain tests, including blood tests, MRI scans, electrocardiograms, and pelvic ultrasound. These reports help the surgeon to ensure better success. The Recovery Process of Myomectomy Surgery The recovery duration differs depending on the type of technique used for conducting myomectomy surgery. While laparoscopic myomectomy takes two weeks to four weeks for recovery, undergoing hysteroscopic myomectomy will take only two to three days to recover. The abdominal surgery in Nigeria takes the longest time to recover, which is about four weeks to six weeks. While you may experience some discomfort and pain after the surgery, taking the recommended medications help in easing the pain. Doing strenuous exercises or lifting heavy objects must be completely avoided until the complete healing of the incisions. Through successful surgeries, the Indian doctors help in removing the fibroids and giving the women of Nigeria an opportunity to become pregnant safely. The Success Rate of Myomectomy surgery in Nigeria After undergoing the gynecology surgery in Nigeria, the chances are very high that women will get relief from heavy bleeding, pelvic pain, and other symptoms. The intervention of the qualified surgeons of India has increased the success rate of such surgeries in Nigeria even more. The likelihood of pregnancy after the surgery depends on the number as well as the type of fibroids present. The women of Nigeria, who have successfully removed more than six fibroids, have more chances of getting pregnant. As the procedure may weaken your uterus, the Indian doctors will recommend a cesarean delivery in order to prevent any complication. For all the women in Nigeria having uterine fibroid, undergoing myomectomy surgery performed by the Indian specialists can help in removing the fibroids and providing relief. Depending on the type, size, and location of the fibroids, the best doctors of India will perform the appropriate surgery in Nigeria for optimum outcomes.

Advances in robot-assisted technology have made it possible for orthopaedic surgeons to introduce joint replacement surgery to an even higher level of success over the past decade. The latest robot-assisted knee replacement surgery provides many advantages for patients suffering from degenerative wear and tear caused by arthritis (also known as osteoarthritis). Such patients are ideally suited for this tissue and bone saving and highly sophisticated procedure. Surgeons have been using robotic-assisted equipment effectively for more than a decade in joint replacement procedures. There is also growing evidence that suggests robotic joint surgery provides advantages over conventional procedures. How robot-assisted knee replacement surgery work? As the name suggests, robot-assisted knee replacement surgery is performed by the orthopaedic surgeon with the precision of a robot. In this procedure, the surgeon firstly uses the robotic device to create a simulated 3-D model of the diseased joint based on a CT scan before the joint replacement surgery. The surgeon uses this model or prototype to create a personalized, detailed pre-operative plan for the entire operation. This pre-operative preparation allows the most accurate results to be obtained by the surgeon. The surgeon directs the robotic arm during surgery based on the pre-operative plan. The system supports the positioning of each joint component by the surgeon. Although the system prevents the surgeon, during surgery from going beyond pre-planned boundaries, he or she may make adjustments if required. The robotic arm can function only in that pre-defined location, so there is no possibility that an instrument will slip and damage adjacent tissues. This guarantees precision and accuracy. What are the benefits of assisted knee replacement surgery? Robot-assisted knee replacement offers excellent manoeuvrability, personalized joint replacement components, reduced recovery time precision and improved surgical outcomes. Robotic-arm technology adapts the joint replacement implant to the patients’ particular anatomy, ensuring that the new joint will match more precisely. It also means that the surgery would require less bone removal and tissue damage than a conventional surgery would need. Using this technique results in less unsuccessful operations, improved alignment and less impingement (damage to the artificial joint components caused during movement as they rub together). Some of the major benefits of robotic-assisted knee replacement surgery are as follows: • Better accuracy in placement and alignment of the implants • Possibility of prolonged joint replacements • Smaller incision and minimal blood loss • Lesser damage to surrounding tissues • Shorter hospital-stay with faster recovery • Little to no scarring To know more about robot-assisted knee replacement surgery in India, you can visit our website by clicking HERE. < https://www.medicoexperts.com/nigeria/orthopaedic> You can also speak with our patient care manager by simply writing to us at enquiry@medicoexperts.com or getting in touch through WhatsApp/IMO/Viber/call on +91- 9769516280. |

Knee pain is a common complaint nowadays that affects people of all ages. But it is one of the most common complications of being overweight or obese. If you’re among the many people who experience chronic knee pain, even a small weight loss can help reduce pain and lower the risk of osteoarthritis (OA). Osteoarthritis is a condition where the joints become painful and stiff, especially in the morning. Depending on the severity, treatment options typically include medication, physical and occupational therapy, physical activity such as stretching, or surgery According to study 90 % of people suffering from knee pain are either overweight (with a BMI between 25 - 29.9) or obese (with a BMI of 30 or higher). This extra weight increases the stress on your knees. That stress can cause chronic pain and lead to other complications such as osteoarthritis (OA). If you are overweight, even modest weight loss can reduce the risk of osteoarthritis and its progression. Losing the weight will also reduce some of the stress of the knee, which can be helpful, regardless of the problem. How weight loss affects knee pain Losing weight benefits knee pain in two ways. • Decreases weight-bearing pressure on the knee: Every amount of weight loss can reduce the load on the knee joint. Less pressure means less wear and tear on the knees. This lowers the risk of OA. • Reduces inflammation in the body: Osteoarthritis is considered a wear and tear disease due to the prolonged excess pressure on the joints, particularly on the knees, which, in turn, caused inflammation. Being overweight may increase inflammation in the body which can lead to joint pain. Losing weight can reduce this inflammatory response. One study suggests that just a 10 percent reduction in weight can significantly lower inflammation in your body. How weight and knee pain related? Being overweight or obese significantly increases a person’s risk of developing osteoarthritis. Let's look at the weight and your knees. When you walk across the level ground, the force on your knees is the equivalent of 1½ times your body weight. That means a 100 kg man will put 150 kg of pressure on his knees with each step. When you walk on the inclined surface the pressure is even greater: the force on each knee is two to three times your body weight when you climb up and down stairs, and four to five times your body weight when you bend t to tie a shoelace or pick up the dropped item. Losing a few kilograms can go a long way toward reducing the pressure on your knees and protecting them. For example, research has proven that a sustained 5-8 kg weight loss in obese young people can help to translate to a much lower risk of osteoarthritis later in life. According to a study, the women who are overweight are four times more likely to develop OA than women who are a healthy weight. And men who are overweight are five times more likely to develop OA than men who are a healthy weight. But losing even a small amount of weight can be a benefit in the knee pain. The study tracked 240 overweight and obese adults who had knee pain suffered from osteoarthritis. Those who lost at least 10 percent benefited in a number of ways like significantly less pain, had better knee function, were able to walk farther in a six-minute test, and had decreased inflammation and bone-on-bone compression. How to Lose Weight? Though the weight loss is important but sudden excess weight loss harms many body parts so losing weight slowly is very important You would like to opt for a program that combines the right diet plan and appropriate exercise which is best for any significant weight loss effort. You have to take the necessary steps to manage your weight to protect your knees from joint pain and reduce your risk of osteoarthritis. Some Natural Remedies for Knee Pain Turmeric & Ginger Tea: Turmeric and ginger are both anti-inflammatory and will help with osteoarthritis. Turmeric is having an active ingredient called curcumin, which is a powerful antioxidant. It also helps to lower the levels of two enzymes responsible for causing inflammation • Epsom salt soak: Epsom salt contains magnesium sulfate, which is a naturally occurring mineral, used to get relief from pain. • Lubrication with Virgin Olive Oil: Olive oil is used lubricate your joints and ease arthritis pain, and it turns out, it actually does. The main compound in extra virgin olive oil called oleocanthal inhibits inflammatory enzymes just like Advil or aspirin does. • Peppermint Eucalyptus Oil Blend: Peppermint and eucalyptus have analgesic, or pain-relieving, properties. They produce a cooling sensation which can temporarily override your discomfort, and create a soothing sensation to ease the knee pain. • Apple Cider Vinegar: Apple Cider Vinegar is an excellent source for decreasing your knee joint pain. The alkalizing effect of apple cider vinegar softens mineral build-ups and unhealthy toxins within your knee joint. It also supports to restore joint lubricants to lessen pain and improve mobility. You can mix apple cider vinegar with water and drink it daily before going to bed. • Lemon: The anti-inflammatory traits in lemons help to decrease inflammation, pain and swelling that guide knee pain. The citric acid in lemon acts as a moderator for uric acid crystals, which is the cause of some types of arthritis. Weight loss is a tough endeavor, but no single action can provide you results but the combination of moderate exercise, and a balanced diet will help you to achieve your weight loss target. Weight loss will help your body not only to live longer but to help you to live pain and disease-free life. For personal guidance do talk to our Experts now Call or WhatsApp +919769516280 |

Most of the incidents are presented or the women seek treatment only when they have crossed the age of forty, and the fibroid have grown in size or associated with complications. Due to misconceptions and fear associated with fibroid treatment, Nigerian women delay treatment or care. However, procedures like myomectomy, which keeps the uterus intact and effectively treats fibroid. Uterine fibroid – symptoms and treatment Fibroid are unnatural growths found in or on the uterus of a female. These tumors sometimes become very large, causing severe abdominal pain and heavy periods. These do not cause any signs or symptoms at all in many cases. Typically, the growths are benign or non-cancerous. The clinical symptoms and signs of uterine fibroid vary with less than 50 per cent being asymptomatic, one-third having abnormal uterine bleeding, and another one-third having pelvic pain that is usually acute, the sequel to degenerative changes, torsion hemorrhage, or infection. Other clinical characteristics include swelling of the abdomen, pelvic pressure, urinary frequency, symptoms of the compressive intestine and sub-fertility. Traditionally, medication, surgery, myolysis, and embolization of the uterine artery are the treatment options for uterine fibroid. Sometimes, in cases where the fibroid is comparatively large, surgery for fibroid removal may be suggested. Either myomectomy or hysterectomy is recommended depending on women's age and health, and this may be performed by the abdominal or vaginal path. Myomectomy to treat fibroids Research data suggest that there is about 80 per cent of occurrences of fibroid in Nigerian women above the age of 25 even if the size of the fibroid is as small as a seed. A majority of these fibroid are asymptomatic, meaning they do not show any outward symptoms characteristic to fibroids. There is also a recent trend of women delaying childbirth, which has resulted in a rise in the number of women who are in the latter years of reproduction. This has caused an increase in the occurrence of infertility, uterine fibroid and other related complications. As a consequence of this unlikely trend, women are now seeking conservative procedures that will keep their reproductive potential intact. Furthermore, some women see the uterus as the regulator and controller of important physiological functions, a sex organ, a source of energy and vitality, and a way to maintain youthful and attractive. Women in Nigeria also fear that undergoing a fibroid surgery can be life-threatening and even fatal because there have been a number of such cases in the past. However, this need to be the case of the present situation. Women can now undergo myomectomy without the risk to life, as it is simple procedure that can effectively treat uterine fibroid and ensure speedy recovery. New advances in assisted reproductive techniques now also allow women to bear a child in the later reproductive years if the womb remains intact. This has shed light on their chances for fertility. The abdominal myomectomy, therefore, forms the basis of conservative surgical treatment for uterine fibroid. New progressive surgical techniques have evolved with minimally invasive approach including laparoscopic myomectomy, uterine embolization and magnetic resonance-oriented focused ultrasound. Laparoscopic myomectomy is a minimally invasive process which involves an incision done at or near the belly button through which the surgeon removes the fibroid. Laparoscopic myomectomy can be also done robotically i.e. by employing the use of robots and computerized systems. However, this is not available in Nigeria due to the limitation in infrastructure. But thanks to the initiative by MedicoExperts, minimally invasive laparoscopic myomectomy in Nigeria is now possible. This company is known to successfully organize OPD and surgical camps and also trains the doctors and hospital staff in successfully conducting this procedure. Laparoscopic myomectomy in Nigeria is a safe procedure with the highest success rate of about 99.9%. Women who have undergone laparoscopic myomectomy vouch for little to no bleeding, speedy recovery and shorter hospital stay. This evolved surgical intervention has also helped put to rest the age-old misconception and fear associated with fibroid surgery. |
