PELVIC INFLAMMATORY DISEASES(PID)
Pelvic inflammatory diseases are infections which affect the pelvic organs i.e, the va**na, cervix, fallopian tubes, ovaries and pelvic peritoneum.
PREVENTION OF PELVIC INFLAMMATORY DISEASES(PID)
1 PRACTICE SAFE S*X
Use condoms everytime you have s*x, limit the number of partners and ask about potential partner's s*xual history.
N.B It's More safer to abstain(to the unmarried)✨
2. STD SCREENING
If you are at risk of s*xually transmitted diseases such as Chlamydia, Gonorrhea and get treated.
3. PARTNER TESTING AND TREATMENT
If a woman or lady has PID or STD, the partner is advised to get tested and if necessary treated. This can prevent the spread of STDs and possible recurrence of PID.
4. AVOID DO**HE
Douching upsets the delicate balance of the bacteria in your va**na. I don't have to explain further 😁
5 PAYING PARTICULAR ATTENTION TO HYGIENE HABITS
We advise the women to wipe from front to back after urinating or having a bowel movement to avoid introducing bacteria from the colon into the va**na.

HELLO, LET'S TALK ABOUT LABOUR A BIT
Labour is the process whereby a viable foetus, placenta and membranes are expelled from the uterus.Normal labour Is low risk throughout, spontaneous in onset with the foetus presenting by vertex, culminating in the mother and infant in good condition following birth and occurs between 37 and 42 weeks gestation (WHO, 1997).Normal labour is labour in which the foetus is born at term (between 37 and 42 weeks’ gestation), presents by vertex, the process is completed spontaneously and does not exceed 18hours, with no complications.
CAUSES OF LABOUR
The causes of labour are unknown but there are a number of factors contributing to the onset of labour:
Hormonal factors. Towards term, the placenta begins to degenerate. Progesterone levels which maintain pregnancy remains constant or may even drop. The levels of oestrogen continue to increase which has a stimulating effect on the uterus causing it to contract.
Mechanical factors: Mechanical stimulation of the uterus and cervix due to overstretching. For example overstretching due to pressure of the presenting part on the cervix and overstretching because of the uterus due to multiple pregnancies.
Psychological factors: Emotional and physical stress operates on the maternal hypothalamus triggering the release of oxytocin. Oxytocin initiates the contractions of the uterus.
