Respiratory

Breathing is something most of us take for granted. However, if you have difficulties breathing or suffer from certain diseases, you can benefit from respiratory therapy. It usually includes diagnostic procedures, critical care procedures (for example, asthma management and ventilation management), and therapeutic procedures.

Bacterial infections are the most common cause of respiratory problems. Smokers and people with chronic lung illnesses are at higher risk of developing a disease. Most often, antibiotics can effectively treat infections.

Your doctor can also prescribe specific therapeutic devices for your respiratory condition, for example, humidifiers, ventilators, suction equipment, and oximeters. These are necessary for people who have difficulty breathing on their own.

If you are on home oxygen therapy, special equipment can tell whether your oxygen saturation is adequate. You should also use special devices to monitor and record your condition regularly. Your doctor will be able to adjust your treatment plan based on this data.

Ailments

An "ailment" is a general term for minor to moderate physical illnesses, diseases, and disorders. In Facty Health, many different diagnoses fall under the ailment category. For example, acid reflux, eye disorders, skin problems, and GI problems, are considered an ailment.

In this category, you can discover natural home remedies for common symptoms. You will find that there is probably a miracle ingredient hiding in your pantry right now. Learn what foods to stay away from and which foods can help ease certain conditions. You can even learn to spot the early warning signs of some of the more severe diseases. Expect to find detailed and interesting information about the types of ailments, their symptoms, causes, and treatments.

If you have questions about a specific ailment or you just have a general curiosity for medicine, this would be a good place to start.

Diabetes

Diabetes is a metabolic disease; it is also termed diabetes mellitus. It is a long-term health condition. There are three different types. Diabetes 1 occurs when the body does not produce any insulin. Insulin is needed to regulate blood sugar levels. Diabetes 2 occurs when the body does not produce enough insulin. Gestational diabetes may affect females during pregnancy. High blood sugar levels lead to polyuria (frequent urination), polydipsia (increased thirst) and polyphagia (increased hunger).

Pre-diabetes is a condition where the cells in the body are becoming insulin resistant. Insulin injections, a special diet, and exercise are used to treat Diabetes 1, the second type is more common, and treated with tablets, following a special diet, and insulin injections may be needed, but are not a daily treatment. People with diabetes may develop secondary health problems - eye complications, such as diabetic retinopathy, hypertension, foot complications, hearing loss and many health risks increase with diabetes. The body also heals much more slowly.

Conditions

"Condition" is a general term for particular abnormal diseases that negatively affect a part or all of the body. Conditions are not due to any external injury. Therefore, a broken bone does not classify as a condition, whereas Herpes, OCD, Shingles, and Ulcers do.

Medical conditions are classified by specific symptoms and signs. While each person's experiences can vary, there are consistent signs and symptoms that doctors will look for when diagnosing their patients. We always recommend that people seek a professional diagnosis. Afterward, supplement medical advice and opinion with accurate and easy to read information.

Most people only spend an average of a couple minutes with their doctor during a checkup. Oftentimes patients don't receive the fullest explanation of their diagnosis. Easily search through the vast amount of articles that Facty Health offers for ones that address your specific needs. From there, allow us to help you with those unanswered questions.

Wellness

Wellness is associated with your lifestyle. Wellness depends on many factors, such as proper weight control, good nutrition, avoiding risk factors such as alcohol abuse and smoking and exercise. People who manage their lifestyle are more productive, healthier and have fewer workplace absences.

Since lifestyle is the leading factor determining your general health, it is important to set healthy goals and have control over your life. The choices you make have a huge influence on your wellness; therefore consistent self-care is vital. While medicine can cure the disease, the wellness lifestyle encourages you to take responsibility for your life.

Wellness is not an absence of diseases. It is an approach developed to achieve the balance between social and emotional functioning. Wellness is a process through which you start making choices towards a healthier lifestyle.

Wellness is a positive approach to life, which emphasizes the importance of the mind and spirit. A wellness-oriented lifestyle means that everything you feel, say and do has an impact on your health.

Skin

Your skin changes over time. Stress, lifestyle decisions, and the sun can make it feel tired and rough, not to mention numerous skin conditions that can affect nearly all of us. That's why skin treatments are not ‘one size fits all.' If you have been struggling with skin issues, and creams and antibiotics aren't helpful - or if you can't tolerate side effects of medicine - you could consider treatments that are provided by professional dermatologists.

 

From general dermatology services to special laser procedures, there is a treatment that can significantly improve your skin. Some of the most popular skin conditions that can be successfully treated include acne, contact dermatitis, skin lupus, connective tissue diseases, genetic disorder, congenital skin problems, blistering diseases, and T-cell lymphoma, to name a few.

 

Several types of medical procedures - for example, light therapy and chemical peels - may be helpful. Moreover, acne bacteria can be killed with heat energy and pulsing light. Special treatments also shrink oil glands to decrease oil production.

Fitness is a condition that helps people feel and do their best. Fitness helps our bodies perform what we need, whether it is enjoying a walk, doing household tasks or running a marathon. When you set your fitness goals, you should consider your skills, age, fitness level and health. When you start out slowly, you will slowly progress to the higher levels.

&nbsp;
Whether you are new to fitness or a fitness-guru, you should always start with a warm-up and end with a cool-down. A warm-up includes ten to fifteen minutes of low-intensity activity, such as jogging, walking, arm circles, trunk rotations or knee lifts. A cool-down includes ten minutes of low-level exercise, slow walking and stretching. As a rule of thumb, you should try to perform moderate intensity activity most days of the week, for example, do brisk walking.

&nbsp;
Fitness is available to anyone. Everyone can increase their level of fitness if they have motivation and willingness to adjust their lifestyle to their fitness goals.

Hepatitis C is a virus that leads to inflammation and can damage the liver. It can be acute and mild or chronic and long&#x2d;term.

Hepatitis is an inflammatory condition that affects the liver. The most common hepatitis is viral hepatitis, of which there are five different types: Hepatitis A, B, C, D and E. Autoimmune hepatitis occurs when your body develops antibodies that work against your live tissue. These antibodies manifest as a secondary result of medications or drugs, or toxins and excessive use of alcohol. The treatment of this condition depends largely on which variation of the disease you have.

&nbsp;
Symptoms can vary and develop slowly or chronically depending on the strain. You may experience signs such as fatigue and flu-like symptoms, abdominal pain and a lack of appetite. Weight loss, dark urine, pale stools and some signs of jaundice may also be present. Naturally, when you are experiencing some or all of these symptoms, you'll need to be examined by a doctor. They can then determine through tests, ultrasounds, and biopsies and further examination what kind of hepatitis you may be suffering from. Hepatitis can have severe complications and needs medical treatment, however, there are vaccines available for some of the strains and is key in preventing the development of this disease.
