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!

Oregano can be used orally or topically to treat many issues or prevent them, but it is important to use it carefully, as side effects are possible.

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.

Hemorrhoids are swollen veins in the lower rectum and anus, the lowest parts of the gastrointestinal tract.

Hemorrhoids are bulging veins that form in the lowest part of the rectum. They can be external, or internal. They form when veins inside the rectum are under pressure, and become swollen, and may, in some cases protrude from the anus. Prolapsed hemorrhoids are very painful. The veins swell, and skin may become inflamed. Hemorrhoids can be repositioned, back into the rectum by a doctor, or in cases, they may retreat without treatment. Internal hemorrhoids are not always felt, as there are fewer nerve endings higher in the rectum, but bleeding may occur.

&nbsp;

Factors that contribute to the formation of hemorrhoids include pregnancy, weight gain, straining during bowel movements, lifting heavy objects and continuous periods of both sitting and standing, for long stretches. A build-up of pressure in the lower rectum and a decrease in blood flow will cause the veins to swell, in this area. Hemorrhoids are the main cause of rectal bleeding, and swollen hemorrhoids are commonly referred to as ‘ piles.’

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.

Polyhydramnios occurs when there is too much amniotic fluid in the amniotic sac. This causes the uterus to grow excessively and can negatively affect fetal development. Polyhydramnios is most common later in pregnancy. The rare condition affects one to two percent of pregnancies.

Polyhydramnios

Pregnancy is when a woman is carrying a child inside her womb for up to 40+ weeks before giving birth to a baby. This time is known as the gestation period. The embryo develops over the first eight weeks after conception, after which time it is then referred to as the fetus. The length of pregnancy is divided into three trimesters. The first trimester is from fertilization of the egg with sperm (conception), -12 weeks in the womb, the second trimester is week 13 – 28 and the third is weeks 28 – 40+ after which the baby is born.

Pregnancy is the way we reproduce. It comes about by either sexual intercourse or assisted reproductive technology such as In Vitro Fertilization (IVF). Symptoms include missed periods, nausea or vomiting, loss and gain or appetite, frequent urination and tender breasts.

Every pregnancy will be experienced differently. Some women will feel all the symptoms, and other hardly any. Some women may have complications during pregnancy and others not. If you suspect you may be pregnant, you can go to the doctor for an official test, or take a home test, after which you'll need to see a doctor to confirm and then begin the prenatal care for the remainder of your pregnancy.

You cannot, however, contract the germ from using the same toilet seat or clothes because the germ can only survive outside the body for a few seconds.

&nbsp;
Symptoms of Gonorrhea are not limited to the sexual parts of a person's body, of which will become inflamed and swollen, have an unusual discharge and make it difficult to urinate, but it can also affect the genital tract and causes problems in the eyes and throat rectum and joints. As with all STD's you'll need to get advice and treatment from a physician, but it is understandable that prevention from Gonorrhea starts with practicing safe sex and being aware of possible symptoms in your sexual partners.

Lupus or lupus erythematosus is a complex condition that can produce a wide range of symptoms. Scientists are discovering new treatments and methods to reduce lupus symptoms and help people with the illness live full, active lives.

lupus

Lupus is a long-lasting autoimmune disease that can affect any part of the body, including the vital organs as well as bones and joints. Symptoms can last anywhere from six weeks to over a year. Lupus occurs when your body's autoimmune system - normally tasked with fighting off infections - confuses your own body's cells with foreign invading cells. This results in pain and inflammation in different parts of the body.

Even though this condition is mostly found in middle-aged women, it can appear in people of any gender or age. The symptoms that lupus cause are, for example, a pain or swelling of the joints; a fever of unknown origin; hair loss and the appearance of rashes on the skin. There are many different treatment for lupus, but the most common one is a drug known as Nonsteroidal. Anti-inflammatory drugs as well as over-the-counter drugs may be used to treat the different symptoms.

Down syndrome is a condition caused by a chromosomal abnormality that alters physical and mental development.

causes of down syndrome

Down syndrome, or trisomy 21, is a genetic disorder and chromosomal condition characterized by a third copy of chromosome 21. Normally, people are born with 46 chromosomes, but in a person with Down syndrome, 47 chromosomes are present.

&nbsp;

The cause of Down syndrome is unknown, but risk factors for having a baby with Down syndrome include: being pregnant over the age of 35, having a sibling with Down syndrome, having a child with Down syndrome.

&nbsp;

People with Down syndrome have distinctive features including a flat face, slanted eyes, and small ears and mouths. They also have shorter necks, arms, and legs than the norm.

&nbsp;

In almost all cases, those with Down syndrome will have physical and mental disabilities. Adults with Down syndrome function intellectually at an 8- or 9-year-old level. They also have an increased risk for other health problems.

&nbsp;

People with Down syndrome begin cognitive decline at an earlier age than those without. Typically, at around the age of 50, they will start to experience gradual loss of memory, judgement, and their ability to function. Approximately 50% of people with Down syndrome will develop Alzheimer's disease.
