Sleep disorders interfere with your daily activities, cause daytime drowsiness, and even increase the risk for chronic diseases. The most common symptoms of sleep disorders include but, are not limited to, memory problems, difficulties falling asleep, depression, mood swings, hallucinations, and trouble concentrating.

It could be that sleep disorders are lowering the quality of sleep necessary to feel good physically and mentally. The good news is most sleep disorders can be successfully treated once they are properly diagnosed. If you have symptoms that indicate a sleep disorder, you should visit a sleep specialist who will discuss your symptoms and evaluate your condition. When you visit a sleep specialist, both psychological and physical aspects of your conditions are examined for an accurate diagnosis.

Your sleep specialist can recommend studies for you to determine how sleepy you are during the day. There are also tests that can tell how alert you are during the day. These studies and tests are necessary to prescribe the best treatment plan.

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.

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!

Issues within the hip joint can lead to strain on the inside of the hip or groin. Pain on the outside of the hip, upper thigh, or outer buttock usually indicates problems with muscles, ligaments, tendons and other soft tissues. Conditions affecting other areas, such as the lower back or nerves, can also cause hip pain.

The cornea is the clear layer that protects the front of the eye from foreign bodies and germs. It completely covers the colored region of the eye -- the iris -- and the pupil. A scratched cornea or corneal abrasion occurs when the cornea becomes damaged due to a trauma to the eye.

Menopause is something every woman will go through when they reach a certain age. The exact age differs in each person, usually sometime after 40, but it marks the end of her reproductive cycle.

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.
