In apheresis, a medical professional filters a patient's blood through a machine that separates out a component of the blood and returns the rest back to the body. Apheresis can collect certain components of donor blood. It can also remove disease-causing components.

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.

Throwing a baby shower for a friend with a baby bump can be a lot of fun!

Pregnancy


Pregnancy is an exciting time. It's a unique experience that varies woman to woman. Some women have a positive experience with pregnancy, while others don't. We break pregnancies down into three trimesters. 

The first trimester shows how your body is adjusting to its new state. During this trimester, women can experience mood swings, weight gain, cramps, and cravings. Some women even begin to feel morning sickness at this point. 


 


The second trimester tends to be easier than the first. Nausea and fatigue might vanish as well. During this trimester, women can experience body aches, itchy/patchy skin, and swelling.


 


The third trimester is like a runner's last lap. The baby does its last bit of growing in this stage. In this trimester women may experience labored breathing, heartburn, and contractions. Once contractions begin happening frequently, the pregnancy's end is in sight!


Family

Family is important. We grow up in them and dream of starting our own. Whether we want two and a half kids and a Golden Retriever or no kids and a condo in Spain, those ideas start brewing early and are bound to change and grow over time.

But creating and managing a household, whatever its makeup, is no easy feat! That's why Facty is here — to provide you with some tips and ideas for getting everything out of your family, whether it's big or small, nuclear or unique, biological or hand-selected. From preparing for a new baby to making the most of retirement, we can help!
