Life style and causes of male infertility

By Dr. A.H. Serdar
One of the realities that some married couples have to face is their inability to have children. While infertility may be blamed on women, the dilemma can also be due to the sperm problem of men. Fifty percent of fertility troubles that couples experience are cause by a difficulty with male fertility.  Sperm production can be affected by different causes, such as testicular factors, sperm morphology, sperm motility, genetic defects, trauma, different kind of infections, and emotional stress. Various infertile men are worried about their small number of sperm count, and this seems to turn into the major anxiety in their life. According to the World Health Organization[1], “if a man’s sperm count is less than 20 million per milliliter, he is considered at risk of being infertile.” People’s life styles play extremely significant roles in their marital time and in successful pregnancies. Lifestyle habits have long-term impacts on male potency.

Untreated Gonorrhea

By Dr. A.H. Serdar
Gonorrhea

 There is a large reservoir of asymptomatic and untreated gonorrhea infection in the world, which sets up question about their clinical signification and possibly their complication. This disease is caused by the bacteria Neisseria gonorrhea and spread through sexual contact. In first step the bacteria can infect the soft integument covering the openings of the body like the urethra, anus, vagina, throat, cervix, and also can pass from mother to infant during delivery. Males infected with gonorrhea will have burning and sometimes searing while urinating, besides will appear a yellowish white discharge from the penis. Women who have gonorrhea may have no symptoms or their symptoms possibly so mild. In some cases, women will perceive a burning sensation when they urinate, or they will observe a yellow-green vaginal discharge. In men symptoms usually emerge two days to one week after contamination, otherwise it can take as long as one month for signs to commence .Often, there are no symptoms for individuals infected with gonorrhea. Diseased with no symptoms are at possibility for progressing complications to illness of gonorrhea. Past infection does not make a individual resistant and immune to Neisseria gonorrhea. Gonorrhea can be cured with a single dose of antibiotics. If the infection has extended, patients will have to take medication for a longer period or hospitalized on condition that the infection is critical. The entire species of gonorrhea are treatable. However, some strains are evolving into more resistant to some antibiotics. This paper will discuss untreated gonorrhea and it will explain some complication of this disease.

      Each person can forget things sometimes or once in a blue moon. Forgetting things is a portion of existence and it often becomes more common as people age; however, forgetfulness doesn’t mean Alzheimer’s disease.

In Alzheimer’s disease, healthy brain tissue degenerates, and it usually appears after the age of sixty. The primary symptom tends to be memory disorder, particularly for recent learned knowledge.

Angina Pectoris

What is angina pectoris?
Angina pectoris is the medical term for chest pain or discomfort due to coronary heart disease.  Angina is a symptom of a condition called myocardial ischemia.  It occurs when the heart muscle (myocardium) doesn’t get as much blood (hence as much oxygen) as it needs. This usually happens because one or more of the heart’s arteries (coronary blood vessels that supply blood to the heart muscle) is narrowed or blocked.  Insufficient blood supply is called ischemia.

Erectile dysfunction, sometimes called “impotence,” is the repeated inability to get or keep an erection firm enough for sexual intercourse. The word “impotence” may also be used to describe other problems that interfere with sexual intercourse and reproduction, such as lack of sexual desire and problems with ejaculation or orgasm. Using the term erectile dysfunction makes it clear that those other problems are not involved.

Tuberculosis (TB) in Turkmenistan

Tuberculosis (TB) control is a priority for the Government of Turkmenistan, as the health system is vulnerable to the many challenges posed by TB. The DOTS (the internationally recommended strategy for TB control) case detection rate has not reached the World Health Organization’s (WHO’s) target of 70 percent, though over the past three years, the rate increased from 33 percent in 2004 to 58 percent in 2006. While case detection remains low, treatment success rates are satisfactory. The treatment success rate reached 86 percent in 2004, above the WHO target of 85 percent, but fell slightly to 81 in 2005. The DOTS strategy was introduced in Turkmenistan in 1999, and DOTS coverage reached 100 percent in 2007.1
