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 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.

Belly bloat causes a visibly distended abdomen that may feel uncomfortably full or gaseous. The issues and conditions that cause bloating range from minor to significant, and a person who experiences recurring or constant bloating should speak to a doctor about treatment.

Way too often, illness appears out of nowhere: for example, you wake up at night with intense stomach pain. Or you stumble while carrying something heavy, and can't get through the day without pain.
Stomach pain is an extremely common problem, but most often it is easy to deal with. Your doctor can recommend a product to relieve the pain. The most common cause is gastroenteritis - a viral infection of the stomach, which your immune system can fight on its own, in addition to taking proper medicine.

&nbsp;
Severe stomach pain that makes you feel very ill (it can also cause fever or chills) could be due to a more serious condition or food poisoning. If you experience any of these symptoms, you should visit your doctor to receive treatment.

&nbsp;
If you have agonizing pain in any area of your belly, seek immediate medical help. It may be a sign of a serious illness, for example, appendicitis, that will only get worse without treatment.

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.

Thymomas are rare tumors that grow from the epithelial cells of the thymus. Less than one person in 1.5 million develops the disease. Thymomas are malignant, even though they are slow-growing, because of their location and potential to invade vital spaces and cause complications. There are various types of thymomas.

what is a thymoma?

Myasthenia gravis (MG) is a rare and extremely difficult neuromuscular disease, estimated to affect 14 to 20 in every 100,000 individuals, while the most frequent sufferers are aged over 40. MG is an autoimmune disease, caused by the mysterious confusion of antibodies that impair or completely destroy nicotinic acetylcholine receptors at the junction between the nerve and muscle (believed to be caused and maintained by the faulty production of the thymus gland). This results in futile nerve impulses that are unable to trigger muscle movement.

&nbsp;
This nerve disability causes a number of serious symptoms, such as ptosis (drooping of one or both eyelids), diplopia (blurred or double vision – due to the inability to control eye movement), involuntary facial expressions, difficulty swallowing, dysarthria (speech impairment), shortness of breath and weakness in the arms, legs, hands, fingers and neck. Further complications often accompany MG, including myasthenic crisis (complete muscle failure resulting in the inability to even draw breath), thymomas (thymus tumours), under or hyperactivity of the thyroid gland (meaning reduced resistance to heat/cold and reduced/increased weight gain, along with other symptoms) and other autoimmune conditions, such as rheumatoid arthritis or lupus.

&nbsp;
There is no cure for myasthenia gravis, and the entire treatment comes down to symptom treatment. The survival rate of patients that haven't undergone thymectomy (thyroid gland removal surgery) is around or under 50%, while their counterparts have a varying 79% chance.

Dogs are susceptible to most of the health problems that affect humans, and allergies are no exception. Antihistamines relieve allergy symptoms by blocking histamine receptors in smooth muscle and blood vessels.

Many performers find the pressures of fame begin to take their toll, prompting them to retire from acting to pursue other passions.

It’s hard to believe that less than three decades ago, cellphones could barely fit in briefcases, let alone our pockets. The cellphones of the 80s and 90s were clunky, bulky, and certainly not light. They were also expensive enough so that only select people could own them.

Many of us rely on technology more than we realize. It creates problem-solving tools that allow us to do more with our time.

Medical History

The shoulder blade or scapula is often compared to wings or fins, and for good reason. The flat, triangular bones connect the thorax to the upper arms. Each is protected by almost 20 muscles and corresponding ligaments and tendons, which keep necessary joints in place to support myriad upper body activities.
