Chiron: where is our physical (and mental) wound?

I'm currently reading a book about Chiron (did you know it's actually half asteroid, half comet? me neither), which inspired me to make this post. I'm in no way an expert in medical astrology, just a curious owl that wants to learn more about every branch of astrology out there (my Sag Venus loves it!!🤭)

DISCLAIMER!!! I'm not a doctor. If you've been feeling any symptoms described here, TALK WITH YOUR DOCTOR, NOT WITH ME

Observation: Before we dive in, i'd like to mention that the position of Chiron in the houses is important. Not every house placement suggests having a poor physical condition. The most prominent Chiron placements when it comes to having a medical condition are: Chiron in 1st house (house of self, visible illnesses), Chiron in 5th house (illnesses since birth/early childhood), Chiron in 6th house (house of health, if Saturn is also sitting there it points to chronic illnesses), Chiron in 8th house (house of death, may point to severe diseases or poor reproductive health) and Chiron in 12th house (house of the unconscious, deals with mental illnesses)

Honorable mention to Chiron in 3rd house and Chiron in 9th house as they represent accidents while travelling. If Chiron is heavily afflicted in these houses (unless it's also conjuncting Jupiter), it may point to...let's just say you're gonna be in a hospital bed in a vegetative state, but remember, nothing has a 100% possibility of happening, you're just more susceptible to it happening. I suggest checking the position of Chiron in Solar Return charts for the possible timing of it happening (look for Chiron in 3rd house/Chiron in 9th house as it activates your natal Chiron)

Without further do, let's dive in⚕️

Chiron in Aries: frequent headaches, frequent nose bleeds, teeth problems (sensitive teeth, tooth decay), deafness, skull fractures, cerebral anemia, brain tumours, hemophilia, epilepsy, BPD

Chiron in Taurus: frequent colds, frequent voice loss, thyroid problems (goiter, hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidis, etc.), tonsilitis, OCD

Chiron in Gemini: lung problems (asthma, tuberculosis, pneumonia, etc.), speech problems (stuttering, cluttering, mutism), alzheimer's disease, ADHD, OCD

Chiron in Cancer: frequent stomach pain, prone to lactose intolerance, (for girls) breast lumps, breast cysts, breast infections, nipple discharge, depression, anxiety

Chiron in Leo: prone to insolation, frequent heart palpitations, chest pain, hypertension, hypotension, arteriosclerosis, scoliosis, kyphosis

Chiron in Virgo: frequent bloating, prone to gluten intolerance, chronic allergies, diabetes, rabies, autism, ADHD, OCD

Chiron in Libra: prone to acne, frequent lower back pain, disc herniation, spondylolisthesis, chronic kidney disease, kidney stones

Chiron in Scorpio: frequent pain down there, chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, HIV/AIDS, depression

Chiron in Sagittarius: frequent pain in the hips, prone to hips dislocation, cirrhosis, sciatica

Chiron in Capricorn: prone to knees dislocation, osteoarthritis, bone problems (osteopenia, osteoporosis), gout, depression

Chiron in Aquarius: electrical injuries, shin splints, osteofibrous dysplasia, ankle sprain, ankle fractures, poor blood circulation, schizophrenia

Chiron in Pisces: prone to break toes, athlete's foot, bunions, addison's disease, hormonal deregulation, aphantasia, psychosis, schizophrenia, anxiety

Yes, i'm aware of the fact that it's a generational planet and it moves very slowly through signs

BONUS: It's important to take into consideration all planets that conjunct, square or opposite Chiron (regardless if they're personal or generational) + the Ascendant for additional info about our illnesses

Ex. Let's take me as an example. My Chiron is in my 10th house in Capricorn squaring Saturn in 4th house (so double Capricorn energy) and Aries Ascendant. Guess what? I've got TMJ (basically a jaw disorder affecting the joints) and i've got it from my fam -_- (Saturn rules tradition i love my fam)

I also believe that having a heavy afflicted Chiron in general makes someone prone to having a medical condition, even if it's not in the houses mentioned previously (like in my case). However, these people are more focused on the main meaning of the house, not their health problems. They tend to ignore their health problems or they just don't care

I hope you enjoyed my post and found it insightful :)

What's your wound? Lmk in the comments your placements and your illnesses

Kisses xoxo

We may think, for instance, of Falstaff, famously defined by his diseased, overweight body. Across the plays in which he appears, Falstaff’s physical being is associated with explicit disgust elicitors: one doctor notes that he “might have more diseases than he knew for,” and the Lord Chief Justice catalogs the symptoms of his declining health, noting that he has “a moist eye, a dry hand, a yellow cheek, a white beard, a decreasing leg, an increasing belly” (2 Henry IV, 1.2.5; 177-79).[1] He is notably characterized as suffering from syphilis—a malady, Shakespeare liked to point out, that could render the body repulsive—and is described as an “unclean knight” who suffers from the “dissolute disease” (The Merry Wives of Windsor, 4.4.57; 3.3.184). And his weight, of course, is presented as a continual point of ridicule, as when Hal in 1 Henry IV deems him an “obscene greasy tallow-catch” (2.4.223)—that is, a repulsive mass of congealed animal fat. In turn, Falstaff’s body comes to serve as an index of his moral failings; not only are his diseases attributed to “lust and late-walking” (Merry Wives, 5.5.143), but the newly crowned King Henry V explicitly links his friend’s unseemly behavior to his size, bidding him to “make less thy body hence, and more thy grace” (2 Henry IV, 5.5.51).

So w your version of modern gyu his splotches are scars, not genetic?

I personally like having gyutaro with all the symptoms associated with congenital syphilis, so w my version of him his splotches are skin discoloration ❤ (specifically hyperpigmentation)

i like to think the splotches on his skin are a mix of both! + birthmarks

the ones on his face are hyperpigmentation and birthmarks, but the ones on his body are a bit different.

when it comes to gyutaro i like to imagine that his backstory can be seen all over him, practically etched into his appearance. like, he just LOOKS like he’s been through a lot, ya know? so his skin all over is almost a collection of burn’s, scars and bruises that just won’t seem to fade + all things he was born with or just developed naturally

but also! my modern gyu is a mix of his canon human self and demon self’s physical appearance’s, and when u compare the two in the anime/manga he has some splotches on his body in his demon form that don’t appear in his human form, so that’s why i like to think of them as scars or tats! so the transition between those two phases can be translated into an au where he’s just some guy livin’ his life in the 21st century, and he’s not going through a physical transformation after something horrible happens to him. the horrible stuff still happens, but he’s still the same gyu, just….with a lot more on his skin to show for it.

(i read back my last upchuck of words on modern!gyu and i realize the whole section about the splotches on his body is so vague and i did NOT portray what i was trynna say well 😭 i’m so so sorry)

Psychopathology, ch 1 pt. 2

Could you describe the medical model of abnormal behavior?

- German physician Wilhelm Griesinger (1817-1868) argued that abnormal behavior was rooted in diseases of the brain.

- His views influenced another German physician named Emil Kraepelin (1856-1926), who wrote an influential textbook on psychiatry in 1883.

- According to the medical model, people behaving abnormally suffer from mental illnesses or disorders that can be classified (like physical illnesses) according to their distinctive causes and symptoms.

- Proponents of the medical model don’t necessarily believe that every mental disorder is a product of “defective” biology, but they do maintain that it’s useful to classify patterns of abnormal behavior as disorders that can be identified on the basis of their distinctive features or symptoms.

- Kraepelin specified two main groups of mental disorders:

dementia praecox (from roots meaning “precocious [premature] insanity”) which we now call schizophrenia. Kraepelin believed this was caused by a biochemical imbalance.

manic-depressive insanity, which we now call bipolar disorder. Kraepelin believed this was caused by an abnormality in the body’s metabolism.

- The medical model gained support in the late 19th century with the discovery that advanced syphilis (in which the bacterium that causes the disease directly invades the brain) led to a form of disturbed behavior called general paresis.

- General paresis is associated with physical symptoms and psychological impairment, including personality and mood changes, and with progressive deterioration of memory and judgment. Now that we have antibiotics to treat syphilis, this disorder has become extremely uncommon.

- The discovery of this connection between general paresis and syphilis inspired optimism in the scientific community, who believed that other biological causes would soon be discovered for many types of disturbed behavior. When Alzheimer’s was discovered, that lent further support to the medical model. However, an overwhelming majority of psychological disorders are more complex than scientists once thought, and we are still struggling to understand what factors are relevant, how influential they are, etc.

syndromes: clusters of symptoms that may be indicative of a particular disease or condition.

What is the major psychological model of abnormal behavior?

- Even as the medical model was gaining influence in the 19th century, some scientists argued that abnormal behavior could not have completely biological origins.

- In Paris, respected neurologist Jean-Martin Charcot (1825-1893) experimented with hypnosis as a treatment for hysteria, a condition characterized by paralysis or numbness that cannot be explained by any underlying physical cause. Hysteria was a common diagnosis in the Victorian era, but it’s quite rare today.

- Charcot’s teaching clinic was attended by a young Austrian physician named Sigmund Freud (1856-1939). Freud reasoned that if hysterical symptoms could be made to disappear or appear through hypnosis - the mere “suggestion of ideas” - then they must be psychological, not biological, in origin.

- Freud was also influenced by Viennese physician Joseph Breuer (1842-19125). He had used hypnosis to treat a 21 yr. old woman (Anna O.) for hysterical complaints which had no apparent medical basis. He encouraged her to talk about her symptoms, sometimes under hypnosis. The hysterical symptoms were taken to represent the transformation of these blocked-up emotions - forgotten but not lost - into physical complaints.

- In Anna’s case, the symptoms disappeared once the emotions were brought to the surface. Breuer labeled the therapeutic effect catharsis, or emotional discharge of feelings.

psychodynamic model: the theoretical model of Freud and his followers, in which abnormal behavior is viewed as the product of clashing forces within the personality.

What is the sociocultural perspective on abnormal behavior?

- Sociocultural theorists believe the causes of abnormal behavior may be found in the failures of society, rather than in the person. Psychological problems may be rooted in poverty, unemployment, ignorance, injustice, and lack of opportunity.

- Sociocultural theorists also focus on relationships between mental health and social factors such as gender, social class, ethnicity, and lifestyle. The social consequences of being labeled as a “mental patient” are emphasized.

- Sociocultural theorists argue that people with long-term mental health problems should have access to meaningful societal roles, rather than being stigmatized and marginalized.

What is the biopsychosocial perspective on abnormal behavior?

- Many mental health professionals take the view that abnormal behavior patterns are too complex to be understand from any single perspective, so they take into account biological, psychological, AND sociocultural causes. This is known as the biopsychosocial model or interactionist model.

What are the four major objectives of science?

Description

Explanation

Prediction

Control

theory: a formulation of the relationships underlying observed events.

What are the four major steps in the scientific method?

Formulating a research question

Framing the research question in the form of a hypothesis

Testing the hypothesis

Drawing conclusions about the hypothesis

What are the ethical principles that guide psychology research?

informed consent: research participants should receive enough information about an experiment beforehand to decide freely whether or not to participate.

confidentiality: protection of research participants by keeping records secure and not disclosing their identities.

What is the role of naturalistic research and what are its key features?

naturalistic observation method: researcher observes behavior in the field, where it happens.

- Scientists try to minimize interference with the behavior they observe, but the mere presence of an observer can cause distortion, and this must be taken into consideration.

- Naturalistic observation tells us *how* people behave, but doesn’t explain *why* people behave a certain way. Cause-and-effect is better determined through controlled experiments.

What is the role of correlational research and what are its key features?

correlational method: the use of statistical methods to examine relationships between two or more variables.

correlational coefficient: a statistical measure of the strength of the relationship between two variables expressed along a continuum that ranges between -1.00 and +1.00.

CORRELATION IS NOT CAUSALITY!

longitudinal study: a type of correlational study in which individuals are periodically tested or evaluated over lengthy periods of time.

What is the role of experimental research and what are its key features?

experimental method: allows scientists to demonstrate causal relationships by manipulating the (suspected) causal variable and measuring its effects under controlled conditions that minimize the risk of other variables explaining the results.

independent variables: factors hypothesized to play a causal role; manipulated or controlled by the investigator.

dependent variables: factors observed in order to determine the effects of manipulating the independent variable; measured but not manipulated by the experimenter.

experimental group: in an experiment, the group that receives the experimental treatment.

control group: in an experiment, a group that does not receive the experimental treatment.

random assignment: a method of assigning research subjects at random to experimental or control groups to balance the characteristics of people who comprise them.

selection factor: differences in the types of people who would select to be in one group or the other.

blind: research participants are uninformed about the treatments they are receiving in order to control for their expectations.

placebo: an inert drug that physically resembles the active drug.

- In a single-blind placebo-control study, research participants are randomly assigned to treatment conditions in which they receive either an active drug or an inert placebo, but are not told which drug they receive.

- In a double-blind placebo control design, neither the researcher nor the subject knows who is receiving the active drug or the placebo.

internal validity: the degree to which manipulation of the independent variables can be causally related to changes in the dependent variables.

external validity: the degree to which experimental results can be generalized to other settings and conditions.

construct validity: (1) in experimentation, the degree to which treatment effects can be accounted for by the theoretical mechanisms (constructs) represented in the independent variables; (2) in measurement, the degree to which a test measures the hypothetical construct that it purports to measure.

What is the role of epidemiological research and what are its key features?

epidemiological method: examines rates of occurrence of abnormal behavior in various settings or population groups.

survey method: a research method in which samples of people are questioned by means of a survey instrument such as a questionnaire or interview protocol.

incidence: the number of new cases occurring during a specific period of time.

prevalence: the overall number of cases of a disorder existing in the population during a given period of time.

random sample: a sample that is drawn in such a way that every member of a population has an equal chance of being included.

- Random sampling refers to the process of randomly choosing individuals within a target population to participate in a survey or research study.

- Random assignment refers to the process by which members of a research sample are assigned at random to different experimental conditions or treatments.

What is the role of kinship studies? What are their key features?

- Kinship studies attempt to disentangle the roles of heredity and environment in determining behavior.

genotype: set of traits specified by our genetic code.

People who possess genotypes for particular psychological disorders have a genetic predisposition that makes them more likely to develop the disorders in response to stressful life events, physical or psychological trauma, or other environmental factors.

phenotype: constellation of observable or expressed traits.

represents the interaction of genetic and environmental influences

proband, AKA index case: the case first diagnosed with a given disorder.

concordance rate: percentage of cases in which both twins have the same trait or disorder.

Researchers prefer to use monozygotic twins, but they also study dizygotic twins.

adoptee studies: studies that compare the traits and behavior patterns of adopted children to those of their biological parents and their adoptive parents.

What is the role of case studies? What are their limitations?

case studies: intensive studies of individuals.

can be based on historical material and involve subjects who passed long ago

More commonly, case studies reflect an in-depth analysis of an individual’s course of treatment. They typically include detailed histories of the subject’s background and response to treatment.

Unfortunately, they can’t be generalized, and the accuracy of the material varies.

single-case experimental design: a type of case study in which the subject is used as their own control.

reversal design: an experimental design that consists of repeated measurement of a subject’s behavior through a sequence of alternating baseline and treatment phases.

critical thinking: adoption of a questioning attitude and careful scrutiny of claims and arguments in light of evidence.

Maintain a skeptical attitude.

Consider the definitions of terms.

Weigh the assumptions or premises on which arguments are based.

Bear in mind that correlation is not causation.

Consider the kinds of evidence on which conclusions are based.

Do not oversimplify.

Do not overgeneralize.

Hair loss is one of the most common problems faced by people across the globe. Many of us dread the thought of brushing our hair because it may result in hair loss and breakage. Not to mention the fact that whenever winter sets in, dandruff starts acting up, irritating the scalp and leading to more hair loss. All of us love our hair and don’t appreciate seeing it waste away. This is why many people often try new products and treatments that promise to reduce hair fall. If you are one of these people and haven’t had any luck yet, switch to homeopathy.

It is hard to pinpoint the cause for hair fall, but here are some factors that lead to it:

#Stress: Stress, both physical and emotional, has been linked to hair loss. Physical stress in the form of an injury or an accident triggers a type of hair loss called telogen effluvium.

Excessive Intake Of Vitamin A

A study conducted by the American Academy of Dermatology found that consuming too much vitamin A is linked to increased hair loss.

#Excessive Intake Of Vitamin A: A study conducted by the American Academy of Dermatology found that consuming too much vitamin A is linked to increased hair loss

*Pregnancy:* Pregnancy is an example of hair loss caused due to physical stress. Post delivery hair loss is very common in women.

*Heredity:* It is common for women to bald if they have a history of female1 balding@1 in their family. This is the female version of male pattern baldness.

*Lack Of Protein:* Hair is made up of protein. Hence, when you don’t consume enough protein, hair growth is curbed.

*Anemia:* Iron deficiency anemia leads to hair loss.

*Hormonal Imbalances:* Changes in the hormones, starting or going off birth-control pills, and conditions such as PCOS have all been linked to hair fall.

*Vitamin B Deficiency:* The consumption of B vitamins is crucial when it comes to maintaining the health of your hair. A lack of these vitamins leads to hair loss.

*Thyroid Disorders:* When the thyroid fails to produce certain hormones, it directly affects the health of your hair, resulting in hair loss.

,*Alopecia Areata:* This is an immune system disorder where hair is mistaken for a foreign object and is attacked.

*Dramatic weight loss:* Dramatic weight loss is often accompanied by the loss of nutrients. Your hair needs proper nourishment for growth. When it isn’t nourished, the resulting hair loss is inevitable.

*Aging:* Hair loss is a common symptom of aging. Less that 45% of women reach the age of 80 with a head full of hair.

#Homeopathy Medicines For Hair Loss

Homeopathy has various treatments for hair loss depending on the cause of the problem. A skilled homeopath studies the case history of a patient in detail so that the root of the problem can be found. Once they have evaluated the cause, suitable homeopathic medicine is prescribed to the patient.

Homeopathic Medicines For Alopecia Areata

Alopecia areata is the result of an extra-zealous immune system. The immune system mistakes hair for a foreign object and starts to attack it, resulting in hair loss. The following homeopathic medication is specifically designed to treat people with alopecia areata.

1. Fluoricum Acidum: This medicine is made from the potentization of hydrofluoric acid. It is considered excellent for hair loss, especially alopecia areata, where the patient loses hair from spots on the scalp. It is also adept at dealing with the resulting hair fall after a period of sickness, hair breakage, hair fall caused by syphilis, and hair gets tangled a lot. It is recommended by a lot of homeopathic doctors.

2. Phosphorus: This is made from the potentization of inorganic phosphorus. It is a medicine that is capable of curing a wide array of diseases. While it is popular for treating alopecia, it is also used to heal issues of the gastrointestinal tract, blood, nervous tissue, and bones.

3. Calcarea Carbonica: Calcarea Carbonica, better known as Calcarea Carb, has been found to be one of the best homeopathic medicines for hair regrowth. It is often prescribed to patients for whom hair loss is accompanied by intense itching and sweating of the scalp.

4. Vinca Minor: Vinca Minor is efficient in treating alopecia when it is accompanied by dandruff. It is also used to treat abnormal hair growth i.e. when the hair grows out like white wool.

Homeopathic Medicines For Baldness

While baldness is uncommon in women, there are cases where it happens. In fact, 45% of women start experiencing significant hair loss by the time they reach 50. Here are the homeopathic remedies that are generally used for treating baldness.

5. Silicea: It is hard to believe that this deep acting remedy is inert before it undergoes potentization. It is used to treat a wide range of diseases. Homeopaths commonly prescribe Silicea for baldness accompanied with pain. It also treats skin conditions like eczema, which may sometimes cause dandruff.

6. Baryta Carbonica: This homeopathic cure is administered to young people suffering from premature baldness. It is generally used to treat timid people who are experiencing baldness along with throat complaints and issues such as tonsillitis.

7. Lycopodium Clavatum: This is one of the best homeopathic medicines for preventing a number of hair-related problems. Lycopodium is a wonderful remedy for hair loss, premature graying of the hair, and even baldness. It is prepared from club moss (fungus), which is potentized for its usage. This homeopathic medicine also tackles premature balding.

Homeopathic Medicines For Hair Loss Due To Dandruff

8. Psorinum: Psorinum is the best treatment for hair loss that is caused due to dandruff. Dandruff is a common result of skin conditions like psoriasis and eczema. Psorinum tackles the root of the cause, reducing hair fall and dandruff at the same time.

9. Mezereum: This is another medicine that efficiently deals with conditions of the skin such as rashes, lesions, and psoriasis. It tackles hair fall in people who have crusty scalps and infected scalps with pus. It is also ideal for encouraging hair growth.

10. Kali Sulphuricum: When the dandruff is yellow in color, Kali Sulphuricum is a good treatment to resort to. It promises great results and is often prescribed by homeopaths to patients who complain of dandruff and hair loss together.

Homeopathic Medicines For Hair Loss In Women After Childbirth

11. Natrum Muriaticum: The interesting thing about Natrum Muriaticum is that it is made from common salt through potentization. It is used to treat a myriad of issues and is perfect for treating post childbirth hair fall. It is also prescribed for hair fall in women suffering from anemia.

12. Pulsatilla Pratensis: This is administered to women suffering from post-delivery hair loss. The people to whom this medicine is prescribed often report a lack of thirst and a desire for breathing in fresh air. It is also administered to women who have trouble in digesting fatty food.

Fissure treatment in Thrissur

Are you looking for an Expert fissure specialist in Thrissur? Look no further. Dr. Arun Nair is an experienced anal fissure doctor in Thrissur providing the best treatment to patients.

Dr. Arun Nair performs the surgery with the latest laser treatment which is very effective and makes fast recovery and also less hospital stays. Dr. Nair has performed 1000+ fissure surgeries which have proven them as a fissure specialist in Thrissur.

What is a Fissure?

An anal fissure is a small tear or cut in the lining of the anus, often resulting in intense pain and bleeding during bowel movements. Although individuals of all ages can be affected, it predominantly occurs in adults and can be highly discomforting. Neglecting an anal fissure can potentially lead to more severe complications, including infections and, in rare cases, cancer.

Signs and symptoms of the fissure

Swift identification of anal fissures is vital for effective treatment. By understanding the common signs and symptoms outlined below, individuals can proactively seek medical assistance, ensuring relief and enhanced healing.

Anal Bleeding: One of the primary indications of anal fissures is anal bleeding. This symptom manifests as bright red blood, typically seen on toilet paper or in the toilet bowl after a bowel movement. Early detection is essential for prompt treatment.

Anal Itching: Anal itching, a frequent consequence of anal fissures, can be persistent and uncomfortable. It results from irritation caused by the fissure and warrants timely attention.

Anal Swelling: Anal swelling is a common accompaniment to anal fissures, stemming from inflammation. Recognizing this symptom is crucial as it contributes to discomfort and requires prompt management.

Difficulty Passing Stools: Individuals with anal fissures often encounter pain and difficulty when passing stools. This discomfort arises due to the sensitivity of the fissure, emphasizing the importance of early intervention.

Diarrhea or Constipation: Changes in bowel habits, including diarrhea or constipation, can worsen anal fissures. The strain experienced during bowel movements can exacerbate the condition. Seeking medical attention promptly is vital to address these symptoms effectively.

Factors that cause the fissure

Anal fissures are a painful and uncomfortable condition that can be triggered by various factors and underlying health issues. In this context, we will explore the common factors that cause anal fissures.

Straining During Bowel Movements: One of the primary causes of anal fissures is excessive straining during bowel movements. This can occur when stools are hard or large, leading to tears in the delicate anal tissue.

Diarrhea: Frequent episodes of diarrhea can contribute to the development of anal fissures. The constant irritation and passage of loose stools can damage the anal lining.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD): Conditions like Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, collectively known as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), can increase the risk of anal fissures due to chronic inflammation and ulceration in the digestive tract.

Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs): Certain sexually transmitted infections (STIs), including syphilis and herpes, can cause lesions and sores in the anal region, potentially leading to anal fissures.

Radiation Therapy to the Pelvis: Patients who have undergone radiation therapy in the pelvic area, often as part of cancer treatment, may experience damage to the surrounding tissues, including the anal region.

Trauma to the Anus: Traumatic events such as childbirth or engaging in anal sex can cause physical trauma to the anal area, increasing the likelihood of developing anal fissures.

How is the fissure diagnosed?

Diagnosing an anal fissure is carried out in the following way:

Digital rectal examination: To check for anomalies, the doctor inserts a gloved finger into the rectum.

Physical Examination: Arun Nair will go over your medical history and do a physical evaluation of the anal area. The anal area separating the buttocks can be used to identify most anal fissures. If a hole is visible, recognition is simple, and treatment can begin. If this is not possible, a sample of rectal tissue may be taken for evaluation.

Anoscopy: The rectum and anus are examined using a tiny, lighted tube.

Flexible sigmoidoscopy: In this examination, the physician will insert a flexible tube with a tiny camera attached at one end inside your anus. This test is suggested for those who are under the age of 50 who have no risk of anorectal disease.

Fissure treatment in Thrissur

Dr. Arun Nair, a fissure expert, treats patients with medication targeted to break the pattern. About 50-60% of patients will heal within 3-6 weeks, but those who do not will require a little procedure, which is generally successful, though we aim to avoid surgery if suitable.

Dr. Arun Nair offers non-surgical and surgical treatment options let’s understand them in depth:

Non-surgical treatment: Some of the anal fissure can be treated without the surgery, By following methods:

Eat a healthy diet that is high in fiber.

Drink lots of water.

Do not squeeze your bowel motions.

Take actions to firm up your stool if you have diarrhea.

Go to the bathroom as soon as you feel the urge to stool.

Keep the anal area clean and dry.

Surgical treatment: Arun Nair Fissure specialist in Thrissur offers surgical treatments in situations wherein non-surgical techniques are not effective:

Lateral Internal Sphincterotomy (LIS): A technique for relaxing the anal sphincter muscles and promoting recovery.

Fissurectomy: In this method, the fissure was removed to get long-term relief.

What every parent should know about Hutchinson’s teeth?

Hutchinson's Teeth is a dental developmental anomaly characterised by peg-like or screwdriver-shaped teeth. Most teeth form abnormally as a result of calcium metabolic abnormalities. Hutchinson's teeth, on the other hand, are the result of an infectious illness known as "Congenital Syphilis". unexpectedly it is usually passed on to a child by his or her mother.

How does Congenital Syphilis affect teeth?

Congenital syphilis is a contagious bacterial infection caused by the bacterium Treponema pallidum. This condition is easily transmitted when a person contacts an infected individual's sores, therefore adults can transmit syphilis through physical contact.

It means that infants born to affected moms become infected during delivery or via the placenta.

Babies who survive exhibit some developmental anomalies known as the Hutchinson Triad. They include:

Hutchinson Teeth

Labyrinthitis

Interstitial Keratitis

Will a child develop Hutchinson teeth without syphilis?

No. Hutchinson teeth are caused by the impact of syphilis. Simply said, the indications of this disorder include notched incisors and mulberry molars.

Meanwhile, there is another severe hereditary issue known as dental dysplasia. It affects a tooth's dentition production, which leads to a root deformity. This causes the teeth to grow in an unusual form. Dental dysplasia produces malformed teeth that are not syphilitic.

What are Hutchinson’s teeth treatments available?

Dentists diagnose malformed teeth using imaging methods such as X-rays. Sometimes a blood test is required to determine whether the child has syphilis. Depending on the degree of deformation, dentists prescribe any of the following:

Dental crowns

Dental Bridges

Dental fillings

Teeth braces or other orthodontic appliances. 

Bottom line

Do you want to keep Hutchinson's teeth in your young champ?

If so, you should take efforts to treat syphilis. The good news is that if treated early enough, this illness can be cured. A pregnant woman should receive syphilis therapy before the 16th week of pregnancy.

Otherwise, the child would develop notched teeth and other Hutchinson symptoms, even if the mother was healed and recovered from syphilis.

Traditional Methods Of Syphilis Diagnosis

This article investigates the historical techniques of diagnosing syphilis prior to the emergence of modern medicine. Physicians employed a variety of traditional approaches, such as symptom monitoring, physical examination, and archaic diagnostic equipment.

Serologic assays for diagnosing syphilis were established in the early 1900s. August von Wassermann developed the Wassermann test, the first serologic test, in 1906, which employed the complement fixation principle to detect antibodies to Treponema pallidum. The Venereal Disease Research Laboratory (VDRL) test, developed in 1946, detects antibodies to lipids generated by wounded host cells. However, it had limitations, including false-positive results.

The rapid plasma reagin (RPR) test, developed in the 1970s, exceeded the VDRL test in terms of sensitivity and specificity.Diagnoses for syphilis have altered over time. Previously, diagnosis was based on clinical signs and symptoms, as well as laboratory studies. Today, the CDC recommends a two-step syphilis test. The first phase is a nontreponemal test such as RPR or VDRL, followed by a confirmatory treponemal test such as FTA-ABS or TP-PA if the results are positive. These innovations have considerably increased the accuracy and reliability of syphilis diagnosis.

Understanding HIV & STDs: Risks, Prevention, and Treatment

In today's world, where conversations about sexual health are becoming increasingly prevalent, it's crucial to shed light on two significant concerns: HIV and STDs . These conditions not only affect physical health but also carry social stigmas and emotional burdens. Understanding them, along with prevention strategies, is essential for overall well-being and a healthier society.

What is HIV?

HIV is a virus that attacks the body's immune system, specifically targeting CD4 cells (T cells), which help the immune system fight off infections. If left untreated, HIV can lead to AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome), a more advanced stage of the disease where the immune system is severely weakened. HIV is primarily spread through unprotected sexual contact, sharing needles with someone who has HIV, or from mother to child during childbirth or breastfeeding.

What are STDs?

STDs, or sexually transmitted diseases, are infections that are transmitted through sexual activity, including vaginal, anal, and oral sex. They can be caused by bacteria, viruses, or parasites. Some common STDs include chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, herpes, HPV (human papillomavirus), and HIV. Symptoms of STDs can vary widely, ranging from mild discomfort to severe complications such as infertility, pelvic inflammatory disease, and increased risk of HIV transmission.

Prevention is Key

Preventing HIV and STDs begins with education and awareness. Practicing safe sex by consistently and correctly using condoms can significantly reduce the risk of transmission. Limiting the number of sexual partners and choosing partners who have been tested and are free of STDs/HIV can also lower risk. Regular testing for HIV and STDs, especially for those who are sexually active or engage in high-risk behaviors, is crucial for early detection and treatment.

Breaking the Stigma

One of the biggest challenges surrounding HIV and STDs is the stigma attached to these conditions. Misconceptions, fear, and discrimination often prevent people from seeking testing, treatment, and support. It's important to combat stigma by promoting understanding, compassion, and empathy. HIV and STDs do not discriminate based on age, gender, sexual orientation, or socio-economic status. Everyone deserves access to accurate information, healthcare, and support services without judgment or discrimination.

Spreading Awareness

Increasing awareness about HIV and STDs is vital for prevention and early intervention. Education campaigns, community outreach programs, and access to resources such as testing, treatment, and support services play a crucial role in addressing these issues. By fostering open and honest discussions about sexual health, we can empower individuals to make informed decisions, protect themselves and their partners, and reduce the spread of HIV and STDs.

Conclusion

HIV and STDs remain significant public health concerns globally, impacting millions of lives each year. However, through education, prevention, and breaking down stigma, we can work towards a world where HIV and STDs are less prevalent and individuals affected by these conditions receive the support and care they need. Let's continue to prioritize sexual health, promote awareness, and work together to create a healthier, more inclusive society for all.
