Air travel during pregnancy: Is it safe?

Asked by rinku in Personal Health at 2:21 PM on September 24, 2008

Sanya Tahir's Answer

Most airlines have strict rules for pregnant travellers, wherein they are not permitted to travel if they are more than 32 weeks pregnant. Air travel may involve risk since the change in pressure may cause damage to the membranes of the uterus. Before embarking on a plane journey, the pregnant lady should take care to dress easily and follow the rules of the airline. It is also better not to take the non-pressurised cabins in the aircraft since a change in pressure is dangerous.

Abnormal sperm morphology: What does it mean?

Asked by rinku in Personal Health at 2:20 PM on September 24, 2008

Sanya Tahir's Answer

Morphology refers to the shape and structure of the sperm. A normal-looking sperm has an oval head and a tail seven to 15 times longer than the head. On a semen analysis, in which we look at sperm under the microscope, we can identify defective sperm by their large heads or strange tails -- kinked, doubled, or coiled.

The World Health Organization says good quality semen should contain 60 percent normal sperm morphology. (A closer evaluation called a strict morphology, or Kruger morphology, is more time-consuming and usually predicts normal sperm function when more than 15 percent are normal.) That means that a semen sample can include up to 40 percent abnormal sperm and still be considered fine.

All men produce some abnormal sperm. The reason is not known, but considering the rate at which a man's production line operates -- 10 million to 50 million new sperm per day -- some "factory seconds" should be expected. We do know that toxins such as lead have been linked to reduced motility (swimming ability), cigarette smoke to abnormal morphology, organic solvents to coiled tails, and excessive scrotal heat to coiled tails in animal sperm. When you lower your exposure to these agents, abnormal morphology levels usually decrease. I remember one man with a high level of abnormal sperm who transferred to a different job at his company so he could avoid exposure to heat from a blast furnace. He also began taking 1,000mg of vitamin C each day. Within a few months his sperm motility and morphology showed definite improvement.

How to treat heat rashes?

Asked by Kalyani Fr in Beauty & Fashion at 9:06 PM on September 21, 2008

Sanya Tahir's Answer

Rub on some soothing aids. After you have cooled down the skin you can rub on some skin soothers. Only do this if the rash isn't blistering. Aloe vera or calamine lotion are both great for soothing heat rash. Aloe vera will aid in healing the skin. Calamine lotion will help ease the itch.

You can take a cool bath or use a cool compress. This will stop the sweating and relieve the itching and swelling. You can add oatmeal, corn starch or baking soda to the bath water to aid in soothing the itch. These are time tested, natural remedies for heat rash.

How to prevent teen acne?

Asked by Mamta Kharab in Beauty & Fashion at 8:36 PM on September 21, 2008

Sanya Tahir's Answer

Acne is a very common skin problem, with consequences that go beyond simply physical. Even when it is simply pimples, instead of the more severe forms like cystic acne, breakouts can affect a person's confidence, sense of well-being, and ability to go out and meet people.

For many people, a good nutrition guide, combined with some skin management tips and products, and strategies to deal with scarring, can work wonders. There are certainly a lot of over-the-counter treatments around.

Washing ones face twice daily is a healthy hygiene habit that can be developed even before puberty. This can be done in front of the sink or in the shower. As a teen’s hair can be more greasy because of hormones, encourage a hair style that keeps his/her hair off of his/her face and a daily washing.

. Keeping your hands away from your face and not picking or scratching at pimples will help keep your teen’s acne from getting worse and causing scarring.

Experts say that your teen’s diet has nothing to do with whether or not he/she gets acne. That could be true but a healthy diet is worth the effort anyway.

What is the cause of teen acne?

Asked by Mamta Kharab in Beauty & Fashion at 8:33 PM on September 21, 2008

Sanya Tahir's Answer

There are four primary factors that influence your susceptibility to acne.

Blocked hair follicles due to an overproduction of skin cells referred to as “keratinocytes.” These skin cells combine with a fatty material called sebum to form a plug in the follicle, resulting in acne.

Enlarged sebaceous glands, responsible for producing sebum. Enlarged glands are common during adolescence. These glands are concentrated in areas such as the face, upper back and chest.

Increase in bacterium growth.The increased sebum in the face, back and related areas promote the overgrowth of a type of bacteria referred to as “propionibacterium acnes” which results in acne.

Inflammation due to bacteria growth. Sometimes an eruption occurs as skin cells and follicles become inflamed due to bacterial growth.

Hormonal changes that typically occur during the teen years are often responsible for acne formation. Teens generally produce more sebum than adults, resulting in an increased incidence of acne. Other substances including oil-based cosmetics may contribute to a build up of fatty sebum in the skin, producing an environment that is more acne prone. Even excess humidity and moisture on the skin can contribute to acne.

Some oral contraceptives (birth control pills) can make acne worse. Women should ask their physician to prescribe a pill that typically has a low activity of androgens, such as demulen, ortho-cyclen, ortho-tricyclen, desogen, ortho-cept or yasmin.
