准妈咪便秘千万别疏忽(便秘)

便秘,俗称大便干燥。一般来说,大便间隔超过48小时,粪便干燥,引起排便困难就称为便秘。孕期由于胃酸减少,体力活动减少,胃肠蠕动减慢,加上胎儿逐渐增大,膨胀的子宫压迫小肠,使其难以蠕动,准妈妈就更容易发生肠胀气或便秘。
  
    小病不“小”
  
    便秘是是孕期最常见最易被疏忽的疾病之一。然而,千万别小看它,一不留神它就会让你悔恨终身。妊娠晚期,便秘会愈来愈严重,常常几天没有大便,甚至1-2周都未能排便,从而导致孕妇腹痛、腹胀。严重者可导致肠梗阻,并发早产,危及母婴安危。曾有患者在妊娠38周时因便秘、肠梗阻导致小肠坏死而切除大部分小肠。有些罹患便秘的孕妇在分娩时,堆积在肠管中的粪便妨碍胎儿下降,导致产程延长甚至难产。
  
    一般治疗法:药粥治疗法。
  
    胡桃粥:取胡核仁4个,粳米100克。将胡桃仁捣烂同粳米一起煮成粥。适用于体虚肠燥的孕期便秘患者食用。
  
    芝麻粥:先取黑芝麻适量,淘洗干净晒干后炒热研碎,每次取30克,同粳米100克煮粥,适用于身体虚弱、头晕耳鸣的孕妇便秘患者食用。
  
    酥蜜粥:酥油30克、蜂蜜50克、粳米100克。先将粳米加水煮沸,然后兑入酥油和蜂蜜,煮成稠粥。适用于阴虚劳损等便秘患者食用。
  
    柏子仁粥:将柏子仁30克洗净去杂捣烂,加粳米100克煮粥,服时兑入蜂蜜适量。适用于患有心悸、失眠的孕期便秘患者食用。
  
    无花果粥:无花果30克、粳米100克。先将米加水煮沸,然后放入无花果煮成粥。服时加适量蜂蜜和砂糖。有痔疮的妇女及便秘患者可食用无花果粥。
  
    特殊治疗法:药物治疗法。
  
    48小时后,一般治疗(药粥)无效的情况下,如果孕妇仍腹胀难受,甚至引起痔疮加重,则必须在医生的诊断下服食药物治疗。
  
    医师叮咛:
  
    妊娠期妇女应用泻药必须注意如下几点:
  
    (1)由于大多数容积泻剂及肠道刺激剂旨在刺激肠壁,使肠蠕动增加的同时可引起子宫收缩,故妊娠期特别是妊娠末期的妇女应用此类泻药有导致早产或流产的可能,故应在医师指导下选择引起子宫收缩作用小的润滑剂或栓剂。
  
    (2)有些导泻药,如石蜡油长期服用可妨碍钙、磷及脂溶性维生素的吸收,又因胎儿的营养物质是通过脐带从母体的血液中吸取的,因此,母体的钙、磷、维生素吸收减少也导致胎儿对这些物质的摄取减少,从而影响胎儿发育。
  
    (3)大多数泻药对消化道都有刺激作用而引起恶心、呕吐,从而加重了妊娠初期的妊娠反应, 故这方面的副作用亦应引起注意。
  
    安全用药指南:
  
    一、妊娠期治疗便秘,建议选用中药为宜。建议请有经验的中医师辨证用药。
  
    二、原则上可以选用润下通便药:
  
    1 中成药:如麻仁丸等。
  
    2 中药:如火麻仁、瓜姜仁等。
  
    三、可通过饮食调理,食用香蕉、番薯,多吃蔬菜等。
  
    一 养成定时排便的习惯。
  
    每天定时排便1次(最好是在早餐过后),建议使用坐式马桶来减轻下腹部血液的淤滞和痔疮的形成。不要排便时阅读报纸或做别的事情,应养成“专心”排便的好习惯。同时切忌忍着不排便。
  
    二 适量运动好睡眠。
  
    最佳的运动方式就是每天坚持散步。(关于散步详见于2003年9月期《快乐走过孕期》)。睡觉时应尽量取左侧卧位,以减轻子宫对直肠的压迫

孕妇便秘怎么办?

孕妇便秘怎么办? 

便秘可分为功能性便秘和器质性便秘两种。功能性便秘多由排便动力缺乏(如腹肌或肛提肌衰弱)、结肠痉挛、进食太少、水分缺乏、食物缺少纤维素、直肠排便反射迟钝或消失、无定时解大便的习惯等原因造成的。器质性便秘多由部分性肠梗阻(如肠粘连)、巨结肠、肠道外疾病压迫肠道、直肠肛门疾病(如痔疮)等引起。 
怀孕以后胃酸分泌减少,胃肠道平滑肌张力降低,蠕动减弱,同时由于腹壁肌肉张力减弱,大肠对水分的吸收增加,所以孕妇更容易发生便秘。孕妇便秘以功能性便秘为主。 
孕妇患便秘以后,可采取以下措施: 

1、喝蜜水。 
2、吃些无花果、梅脯等。 
3、多吃水果蔬菜等富含维生素的食物。 
4、在医生指导下,适当服用有温和通便作用的药物如果导、麻仁磁脾丸等。 
5、如果比较严重,可选用开塞露或甘油栓,必须由医生指导进行,严禁使用泻药,特别是怀孕后期,以防止流产。 
为了预防便秘,孕妇在日常生活中要注意以下几个方面的问题: 
1、进食不可过精,多吃富含纤维的食物。 
2、养成定时大便的习惯。 
3、每天起床后空腹饮一杯温开水,有刺激肠蠕动的作用。 


便秘是孕妇的常见病和多发病之一。因为怀孕期间黄体素分泌增加,使胃肠道平滑肌松弛,蠕动减缓,导致大肠对水分的吸收增加,粪便变硬而出现排便不畅。在怀孕后期,胎儿和子宫日益增大,对直肠产生一种机械性压迫,也会引起便秘。 

为预防便秘的发生,孕妇应参加适度劳动,并注意调剂饮食。平时饮食要含有充足的水分,要多吃含纤维素较多的新鲜蔬菜和水果。早晨起床后,先喝一杯凉开水,平时要养成良好的大便习惯。 

如果已发生便秘,切不可乱用泻药,否则会引起流产、早产。现介绍几则粥疗方法: 

△胡桃粥: 

取胡核仁4个,粳米100克。将胡桃仁捣烂同粳米一起煮成粥。适用于体虚肠燥的孕期便秘患者食用。 

△芝麻粥: 

先取黑芝麻适量,淘洗干净晒干后炒热研碎,每次取30克,同粳米100克煮粥,适用于身体虚弱、头晕耳鸣的孕妇便秘患者食用。 

△酥蜜粥: 

酥油30克、蜂蜜50克、粳米100克。先将粳米加水煮沸,然后兑入酥油和蜂蜜,煮成稠粥。适用于阴虚劳损等便秘患者食用。 

△柏子仁粥: 

将柏子仁30克洗净去杂捣烂,加粳米100克煮粥,服时兑入蜂蜜适量。适用于患有心悸、失眠的孕期便秘患者食用。 

△无花果粥: 

无花果30克、粳米100克。先将米加水煮沸,然后放入无花果煮成粥。服时加适量蜂蜜和砂糖。有痔疮的妇女及便秘患者可食用无花果粥。

Parkinson's cure at last (Fluorescent GM monkeys)

Fluorescent GM monkeys 'could help find Parkinson's cure'
The world's first "glow in the dark" monkeys could help in cure for diseases such as Parkinson's and Huntingdon's.

Scientists have genetically modified marmoset monkeys with a fluorescent protein that under ultra violet light makes them glow a vivid green.

And unlike previously developed "transgenic animals" the monkeys are able to pass on their unique ability to their offspring, suggesting it is deeply embedded in its DNA.

Hair bands

GIRLS/LADIES/MUM'S BEWARE!
GUYS FORWARD TO ALL YOUR FEMALE FRIENDS, GIRL-FRIENDS, WIFE, SISTERS, COUSINS ETC...


Beware when you are traveling to China , just try to be careful when you are buying hair bands down the road who knows what it is made from??


Be cautious of hair bands at open markets around the city too - they are probably from China since they are purchased in bulk very very cheap !!!!

Take a good look before buying hair bands in future - specially like the following kind.....


..


These Hair bands were made from used condoms and threads. That was so disgusting, I would not want to use them!!

BEIJING (AFP) - Used condoms are being recycled into hair bands in southern China threatening to spread sexually-transmittable diseases they were originally meant to prevent, state media reported Tuesday

In the latest example of potentially harmful Chinese-made products, rubber hair bands have been found in local markets and beauty salons in Dongguan and Guangzhou cities in southern Guangdong province, China Daily newspaper said.

'These cheap and colorful rubber bands and hair ties sell well ..... threatening the health of local people,' it said.
Despite being recycled, the hair bands could still contain bacteria and viruses, it said.

'People could be infected with AIDS, (genital) warts or other diseases if they hold the rubber bands or strings in their mouths while waving their hair into plaits or buns,' the paper quoted a local dermatologist who gave only his surname, Dong, as saying. A bag of ten of the recycled bands sells for just 25 sen (three cents), much cheaper than others on the market, accounting for their popularity, the paper said.

A government official was quoted as saying recycling condoms was illegal. China 's manufacturing industry has been repeatedly tarnished this year by a string of scandals involving shoddy or dangerous goods made for both domestic and foreign markets.

In response, it launched a public relations blitz this summer aimed at playing up efforts to strengthen monitoring systems.

Check your kids hair bands and make sure they do not put them in their mouth while trying to plait or tie their hair.

Cant shave the Armpit! 不要刮或剃腋毛


為何乳癌最常發生在靠近腋窩的地方?
不久以前,我參加了一個由 Terry Birk贊助的「乳癌防制研討會」,在最後的問答時間裡,我提出了一個問題:「為什麼乳癌最常見的區域在靠近腋窩的地方呢?
當時沒有人可以回答我的問題,可是最近我收到這封信,我發現它解決了我當時提出的問題。
一位朋友將這封信轉寄給我,我把它給一位 正 在接受化療的朋友看,她說在她最近參加的互助團體中,她也正好學到這件事情。那就是「導致毒素累積成惡性腫瘤的原因是 ---- 剃或拔除腋毛。
最主要的理由是:人體有幾個主要排除毒素的區域,包括了膝蓋後方關節,耳後,鼠蹊及腋窩。它們排除毒素的方法就是「流汗」。
腋毛会帮助汗水顺着腋毛流出体外,若剃或拔掉腋毛,因而阻止了我們身體的毒 素 從腋窩排出,但是這些毒 素 並不會因此而消失,反 而會因為無法排汗而儲存我們腋下的淋巴結,幾乎所有的乳癌都是發生在乳房外側上方的區域,那正是淋巴結所在的地方,可看编号15的
照片,它刚开始生肿瘤的地方就刚刚好离腋窝不远,不久就会曼延到整个乳房,你若再看清楚,她腋下也没有毛,所以她也是有剃掉才会长瘤。
男人之所以比較不會得到乳癌的原因是因為他们从未剃掉腋毛,这些毒素就被阻絕在他們的腋毛之外而不會直接接觸到皮膚。 可能你会问男人每天剃胡子为何不会得乳癌,因下巴并不靠近乳房,也没有淋巴组织.
不但如此,在剃毛时剃刀可能会割伤皮肤,女人如果在剃毛之後馬上使用防汗 /止汗用品,更會提高罹患乳癌的機率,因為這樣皮膚上那些細微的傷痕使得止汗用品的化學物質可以直接進入到腋窩 。
就算你不搽防汗用品,在剃毛或拔毛时,也会暂时使腋下毛孔扩张,使细菌更容易进入,有腋毛也会帮助阻隔细菌直接接触到腋窝, 若是你觉得不剃腋毛不雅观,但是当你看到所附上的照片后,你就会觉得不剃腋毛或乳房生癌那一种看起来更恶心了
西方洋人妇女比我们华人女性更注重仪表,但是现在她们也开始不剃腋毛了,照片上也可看到她们照样穿着无袖衣服照样出门,因为她们现在也意识到不美观总好过患上乳癌。
請你將這個訊息轉寄給你認識的女孩子 ,或你的姐妹,尤其是你妈吗 ,40岁以上的妇女更加不可以剃,因为这个年龄层患癌风险更加高,因為乳癌的罹患率已經高的驚人,這樣的認識或許可以挽救許多的生命
 
請將此信轉寄給你生命中所有的女人:母親、女兒、姊妹、伯母阿姨以及朋友。一種罕見的新種乳癌於十一月被發現。一名女士的乳房如同哺乳中的婦人般起了濕疹。
 >她的乳房X光攝影片並沒有顯示出任何代表硬塊的陰影,因此醫師只開了一般的抗生素以避免進一步的細菌感染。上了兩次醫院後病情卻持續惡化,醫師於是再度請她去照乳房X光攝影。
這回陰影出現了。切片檢查後,發現了急速複製中的惡性腫瘤細胞。為了減緩細胞複製,先是化療,接下來乳房切除,然後又是一整個療程的化療以及放射線治療。九個月的密集治療之後,醫師們保證她恢復健康了!>
 >之後整整一年的時間,她過著最充實的生活,然而這批頑強的癌細胞竟轉移到肝臟!四個療程之後她決定捨棄有著續多副作用的化療,找回生活品質。她詳細的計畫最後五個月所有的生活細節,最後的幾天在嗎啡的麻醉效果下,安祥的走了。
她在臨死前留下了這封訊息,希望轉達給所有的女性朋友們!女士們!請隨時注意身體細微的變化,並且,有任何不正常的情形時,請儘早尋求醫療協助!
 >乳房外柏哲氏病:這是一種罕見的癌前病變,以濕疹型態發生於乳頭及乳暈上。濕疹後來會形成一片邊緣有硬皮的傷口。我不曾懷疑這可能是癌症,但癌症找到了我。
我的乳房並沒有任何異狀,我看醫師唯一的理由是因為這偶爾會發癢?>B疼痛,十分惱人又醜陋的濕疹。家庭醫師開給我的任何乳膏都無法除去它;皮膚科醫師先前給我的眼周皮膚病藥物也無法治好它。
讓似乎讓人感到不安,但無法使我聯想到癌症的到來。> >我懷疑許多的女性朋友們都不知道乳暈及乳頭上的濕疹可能象徵乳癌。(> 我一開始的症狀僅是乳頭上冒出一個小痘子)。
> 柏哲氏病之所以可怕的理由之一,就是因為:乳頭上那似乎無害的細菌感染或是發炎,卻在延誤就醫後一發不可收拾。
 有哪些症狀呢?>
1. >乳頭有持續的紅腫、不明分泌物以及導致搔癢及灼熱感的硬皮剝落。> (>我一開始的時候除了一邊乳房有硬皮剝落外,沒有其他症狀)。
2. 乳頭上有無法癒合的傷口。 (>我當初的傷口分布在乳暈,乳頭中央並且有白色濃稠分泌物)
3. >通常只有一邊乳房被感染。這怎麼判斷呢?您的醫師會在觸壓檢查以後,建議您立刻做兩個乳房的X光攝影。因為正常皮膚炎的症狀為紅腫、硬皮剝落以及不明分泌物,所以醫師只有在症狀僅產生於單一乳房時,才會懷疑癌症的可能性。
屆時進行發炎部位的病理切片,就能找出病因。>請嚴肅的看待這封信,並且盡你所能的轉寄給親朋好友;它可能拯救許多人的生命。
 >我的乳癌在無數化療、28個療程的放射線物理治療以及持續服用抗雌激素後,依舊轉移到骨隨。如果能早點診斷出乳癌,說不定就不會發生這種事情了…。  
>致所有的讀者:女性同胞不知道柏哲氏病是非常讓人難過的消息。為了幫助四周所有的女人,請將此訊息轉發給周圍的人,你可能会因此挽救一个生命.

另外还有一条重要信息请注意:
面紙(Facial Tissue)含有滑石粉塵會致卵巢癌...你不可不知面紙含有滑石粉塵會致卵巢癌. 這不是 ~~衛生紙(Toilet Paper)與面紙(Tissue)差在哪裡(屁股上)的問題喔!
 以面紙取名為面紙 ,因為只能擦臉 ..衛生紙取名為衛生紙,就是要擦了會衛生的 .
>以下資料來源:永豐餘造紙股份有限公司, 以下資料提供:董事長祕書 楊祕書
以前曾看過有關衛生紙與面紙的討論,一直覺得有些疑問,所以我終於請教本公司研發部陳經理
 得知衛生紙與面紙的製作差異 : 兩者均是原生紙漿製作,均有經過消毒程序,衛生紙未再加工添加任何添加物 .而面紙加工添加入濕強劑 ,
在水中不易斷裂, 所以不適沖入馬桶 ;又添加了柔軟劑及活性劑 , 紙粉(粉塵 )多 .你若不信可将面纸在空中抖几下,你会看到很多纸粉掉出来,
一般人都認為面紙紙質較好 ,就是因為添加了這些東西加工 ,也使得成本居高 , 當然售價也較高 .
因此陳經理解釋說,面紙不能當作衛生紙使用 ,尤其女孩子使用面纸当替卫生纸来擦拭下體 ,所以就算厕所里没有放卫生纸,也千万别用面纸来檫阴部。
要千萬注意,阴部皮肤敏感的人會有不適反應 .也会导致卵巢癌。
陳經理還說 ,他們本身懂得這些原理的人 ,自己家裡都少用面紙 ,儘量全面使用衛生紙.
 
 
Is it OK to shave your armpit hairs?
Many people complain about armpit hair. Armpit hair causes body odor and they are very unsightly. The negative attributes of armpit hair are seemingly evident at first glance. Are armpit hairs really a nuisance or at the very least unnecessary to the human body?
Arguably, the smelliest part of the body is the armpit. The reason behind is that the underarm hair is a trap for bacteria, sebum, and pheromones. Bacteria plus sebum equals odor. And pheromones?
Well they’re the sexual chemicals that the body produces and they are contributory to the growing “smell pool.”
In modern times, it is considered very unattractive, especially for women, to have thick armpit hairs. To some cultures, it is even required for women to shave underarm hair.
While some European women don’t shave their armpits as defiance to imposed cultural codes, it is necessary for Islamic women to do so.
But in many East Asian countries like China, Japan and Korea, keeping armpit hair is perfectly normal. Even in India, it is 100% alright to keep your armpit hair on.
While it is a common belief that shaving will produce even thicker growth, there is absolutely no truth to this at all. The reason is that the number of hair follicles isn’t affected by shaving.
It may seem that armpit hair grows more aggressively than other hairs, but shaving the armpit occurs more frequently simply because it grows faster than the leg-hair.
Armpit hair provides lubrication and lessens the friction of the skin between your arm and your body. The production of sebum prevents the skin from drying and cracking.
Without armpit hair, the armpits would be susceptible to wounds and sores similar to a diaper rash in baby bottoms.
Sex pheromones are also spread through olfactory means, thus adding emphasis to smell. Pheromones serve to attract the opposite sex and have an important role in sexual attraction.
Connected to the armpit hair are various sensory nerve endings. This explains where the pain comes from whenever armpit hairs are plucked.
The arrector pili muscle is connected to each hair follicle and together, the hair, hair shaft, arrector pili muscle, and sebaceous gland, are known as the pilisebaceous unit.
The armpit hair is known this way simply because it is located under your arms! Most people find long armpit hair unattractive, which may lead to insecurities and other psychosocial problems.
Rest assured that your underarm forest has its very own unique purpose. It’s just a matter of taking the good with the bad. In exchange of body odor, or being unattractively long (it depends on preference),
underarm hair provides less friction to your armpits, and releases sexual hormones to attract the opposite sex.

The pheromones are the sex chemicals produced by our body to attract mates. Armpit hair acts as a collector of pheromones or a pheromone trap, if you can call it that. The more pheromones there are, the more attractive you are to the opposite sex.
The only catch is that you might stink a little, but it’s undeniable that you’re getting the attention of your potential mate at a hormonal level. We tend to underestimate scent as a tool for sexual attraction, but no one can deny that pheromones could be useful.
On Amazon, you can find lots of Pheromone Colognes listed. These are basically colognes with pheromones added to them.
Think before you shave…
So if you are looking to completely remove your armpit hairs, think again. They serve their very own purpose. If length turns out to be too much of a bother, regular trimming and maintenance will do.
And don’t forget to take a bath regularly, especially when the hormones are starting to rage. You want to attract a mate with your pheromones, not overwhelm them. Keep in mind that armpit hairs are more help than they look.
