Facts That Will Change Your View About Psoriasis

Psoriasis Is Not Contagious

Fact: Psoriasis Is Not Contagious

Most people do not know that Psoriasis does not spread to another individual by any means and that it is non-contagious. So there is no reason to keep a distance or avoid touching a person with Psoriasis. This is very much visible that Psoriasis patients tend to feel stigmatized, which causes them to avoid social appearance. We all should keep in mind to support people struggling with Psoriasis as a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. And even if this stigma changes for a few minds, it can make a win-win situation for all of us.

Different Forms Of Psoriasis

Fact: Psoriasis Can Develop in Different Forms

Most of us are familiar with red, silvery, scaly patches of Psoriasis that appear upon our skin. But what most of us do not know is Psoriasis can take other forms too. Pustular Psoriasis is one such form where pustules (Pimples or Blister containing Puss) develop all over one's body. Guttate Psoriasis is another form that can appear on the body without any warning signs. It causes the development of red scaly patches on the skin and is said to recover completely if treatment is taken at the right time. Few more types of Psoriasis are Nail Psoriasis, Ear Psoriasis, Inverse Psoriasis, Erythrodermic Psoriasis, Scalp Psoriasis, and Plaque Psoriasis.

Psoriasis can affect Liver Health

Fact: Psoriasis can affect Liver Health 

If you have Psoriasis, you are at higher risk of developing health problems such as arthritis, eye problems, and heart disease but what we do not know is that Psoriasis also affects the liver and can put your liver health in danger. You should also know that the above statement can go vice-versa as poor liver health can also be a factor behind the development of Psoriasis.

Psoriasis can Aggravate If you Get Sick

Fact: Psoriasis can Aggravate If you Get Sick

Psoriasis flare-ups are primarily seen in patients, which cause discomfort, pain, and extreme itchiness. The flare-ups can arise due to many reasons it can be weather, food intake, or even hot water baths, but what the real concern is, any sort of illness that takes a toll on our immune system, as when this happens, the immune system has to work harder than usual, and it increases the production of white blood cells that target the healthy cells which in turn causes extreme flare-ups on top of another problem

Psoriasis causes Depression

Fact: Most Psoriasis Patients go through Depression

Psoriasis patients tend to isolate themselves as a result of social reactions from their surroundings due to the physical appearance of the disorder. It is also seen that patients try to hide the effects of Psoriasis with their clothes, and they try to avoid seeing people as the scars can be noticed by them. Even a study was conducted for a set of men and women where they concluded that Patients with Psoriasis show higher levels of Depression and anxiety scores.

Psoriatic Arthritis

Fact: Psoriasis Can Also develop in your Joints 

It is estimated that 30% of Psoriasis patients will get affected with Psoriatic Arthritis which gets triggered by the same inflammation that causes patches of Psoriasis on the skin. This can be identified if you have joint pain as well as Psoriasis, and with that, a patient may see scaly patches on elbows and knees, joint pain, and stiffness and swelling of the fingers. It is essential to follow a medication regime that targets the inflammation and see a rheumatologist in addition to a dermatologist. 

Do Not Go For DIY Approaches! Ayurveda is the Best.

All of us can find various ways on the internet to treat Psoriasis at home, but before starting any kind of treatment at home, you should always consult a certified Dermatologist as your Dermatologist is your knight in the shining armor who will save you from this disorder. Dr. Megha Chaturvedi (BAMS, Skin Expert at Dr. Health) has successfully treated thousands of Psoriasis patients with the help of Ayurveda. Dr. Megha says," there are various ways in treating Psoriasis, but the most effective one would be an Ayurvedic approach as it has the power to treat Psoriasis from its root."

World-Hepatitis-Day

World Hepatitis Day 2022: यह दिन इस स्थिति के बारे में जागरूकता पैदा करने का प्रयास करता है। हेपेटाइटिस बी एक संभावित गंभीर परिणाम वाले वायरस के कारण होने वाला लीवर संक्रमण है, जो दुनिया भर के सभी आयु वर्ग के लोगों को प्रभावित करता है। हेपेटाइटिस का गर्भाशय ग्रंथियों के सामान्य कामकाज पर कोई प्रभाव नहीं पड़ता है। हालांकि, यह वायरस पुरुषों में शुक्राणुजनन को नकारात्मक रूप से प्रभावित करता है। यह Sperm count, Testosterone levels, Motility, Viability and Morphology का कारण बनता है जो समग्र प्रजनन क्षमता और उनमें संतान पैदा करने की क्षमता को और प्रभावित करता है। विश्व हेपेटाइटिस दिवस 2022 पर, Infertile Couples में HBsAg और HCV के परीक्षण की पेशकश करना समय की मांग है। इससे उन्हें प्रजनन चिकित्सा के बारे में कुछ स्पष्टता प्राप्त करने में मदद मिलेगी, जिसे उन्हें चुनना चाहिए और एक असंक्रमित साथी या बच्चे को संचरण के किसी भी संभावित जोखिम को कम करना चाहिए।"

पुरुषों को Hepatitis होने की वजह से उनमें Male Infertility का खतरा हो सकता है। विश्व स्वास्थ्य संगठन (WHO, World Health Organization) की तरफ से जारी किए गए एक आंकड़ें में इस बात का खुलासा हुआ है। WHO की रिपोर्ट के मुताबिक दुनियाभर में तकरीबन 36 करोड़ लोगों को Hepatitis B या Hepatitis C है। Hepatitis के कारण व्यक्ति के Liver में सूजन हो जाता है। साथ ही Cirrhosis जैसी गंभीर बीमारियां भी हो जाती हैं। इन्हीं वजहों से पुरुषों में बांझपन का खतरा बढ़ जाता है।

Dr. Health के Infertility Specialist Dr. Himanshu Dhawan कहते हैं, “Hepatitis का अंडाशय या गर्भाशय ग्रंथियों के सामान्य कामकाज पर कोई प्रभाव नहीं पड़ता। हालांकि इस Virus से पुरुषों में sperm production पर नकारात्मक प्रभाव पड़ता है। इससे Sperm count, Testosterone level, गतिशीलता और व्यवहार्यता में कमी आती है, जिससे उत्पादकता, प्रजनन क्षमता, और men infertility पर असर पड़ता है।“

Hepatitis क्या है?

यह मूल रूप से liver की बीमारी होती है, जो Viral Infection होने के कारण होती है। इस अवस्था में liver में सूजन आती है। Hepatitis में पांच प्रकार के वायरस होते हैं, जैसे – A, B, C, D, & E। Type B और C लाखों लोगों में chronic बीमारी का कारण बन रहे हैं क्योंकि इनके कारण Liver Cirrhosis और cancer होता है।

Hepatitis वायरस के 5 प्रकार-

  1. Hepatitis A - WHO के अनुसार हर साल 1.4 मिलयन लोग इस बीमारी से ग्रस्त हो रहे हैं। ये खाना और पानी के विषाक्त होने से यह आम तौर फैलता है।
  2. Hepatitis B - Infected blood के ट्रांसफ्यूशन और सिमन और दूसरे fluids के exposure के कारण यह संक्रमित होता है।
  3.  Hepatitis C - Hepatitis C वायरस के कारण होता है। `यह ब्लड और infected injection के इस्तेमाल से होता है।
  4. Hepatitis D - यह Hepatitis D वायरस (HDV) के कारण होता है। जो लोग पहले से HBV virus के infected होते हैं वे ही इस Virus से संक्रमित होते हैं। HDV और HBV दोनों के एक साथ होने के कारण स्थिति और भी बदतर हो जाती है।
  5. Hepatitis E - Hepatitis E virus के कारण यह होता है। दुनिया के ज्यादातर देशों में Hepatitis के संक्रमण का यही कारण है। यह विषाक्त पानी और खाना के कारण ज्यादा होता है।

Acute Hepatitis - अचानक लीवर में सूजन होता है जिसका लक्षण छह महीने तक रहता है और रोगी धीरे-धीरे ठीक होने लगता है। HAV infection के कारण आम तौर पर acute Hepatitis होता है।

    Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B, या Hepatitis C virus के कारण इसका मूल कारण है।
  2. ऑटोइम्यून कंडिशन (Autoimmune Condition)
    कभी-कभी शरीर के Immune cells से यह पता चलता है कि Liver का Cells क्षतिग्रस्त हो रहा है।
  3. Alcohol
    Alcohol सीधे liver के द्वारा metabolized होता है, जिसके कारण यह शरीर के दूसरे भागों में भी संचारित होने लगता है। इसलिए अत्यधिक मात्रा में alcohol का सेवन करने से hepatitis होने का खतरा होता है।
  4. ज्यादा मात्रा में दवाई लेना
    कुछ दवाइयां जैसे एसिटामिनोफेन का सेवन जब बहुत ज्यादा होने लगता है तब इसका विषाक्त पदार्थ liver cells के सूजन का कारण बन जाता है।

  • बाजार की बर्फ का इस्तेमाल न करें।
  • Hepatitis B का vaccine लगवाएं।
  • Sterilized और नई सूईं का इस्‍तेमाल करें।
  • असुरक्षित यौन संबंध न बनाएं।
  • Blood किसी मान्यता प्राप्त Blood bank से ही लें। यह सुनिश्चित कर लें कि Hepatitis की screening ठीक से हुई है।

The Bottom Line - Dr. Health

स्वास्थ्य विशेषज्ञ Dr. Himanshu Dhawan (BAMS) द्वारा धूम्रपान और शराब छोड़ने, जीवनशैली में बदलाव आदि की सलाह दी जाती हैं जो मधुमेह, मोटापा आदि को नियंत्रित करते हैं। प्रजनन पथ में किसी भी संक्रमण के मामले में, Ayurvedic treatment का सुझाव दिया जा सकता है। डॉक्‍टर हिमांशु धवन कहते हैं, "आयुर्वेद में पुरुष बांझपन और Hepatitis का स्थाई उपचार उपलब्ध है। आयुर्वेद में कई ऐसी हर्बल दवाईयाँ हैं, जो पुरुष के वीर्य में सुधार करके उनकी प्रजनन क्षमता को बढ़ाती हैं। प्राकृतिक तरीके से पुरुष बाँझपन को दूर करने में किसी भी प्रकार का कोई दुष्प्रभाव नही होता है।' आयुर्वेद मुख्य रूप से दिनचर्या, योग, निद्रा, आहार, इत्यादि पर अधिक जोर देता है जिससे गंभीर से गंभीर बीमारी में बहुत ही जल्द सफलता प्राप्त हो जाती है।

Azoospermia: Understand What It Is and How It Affects Male Fertility

Azoospermia affects about 1% of men worldwide, and there are about 10%-15% of infertile men who struggle with this condition. Just like Low sperm count, in Azoospermia, there will be no sperm count. Men who struggle with Azoospermia face a lot of stress and embarrassment as they are unable to conceive naturally. Ayurveda is the best way to treat Azoospermia without any side effects or complications.

"Obstructive causes and Hormonal problems of azoospermia are treatable with the help of Ayurveda."

This blog will let you understand what Azoospermia is and how it affects the male population around the world.

What is Azoospermia (Nil\Zero Sperm count)?

Azoospermia is an infertility disorder that occurs in men. This disorder causes a complete decrease or absence of sperm when a man ejaculates. Azoospermia can develop due to various causes such as a blockage along the reproductive tract, Hormonal Problems, Ejaculation problems, or issues with testicular function. There are two types of Azoospermia that are generally observed, Obstructive Azoospermia and Non-obstructive Azoospermia. 

What is obstructive Azoospermia?

This type of Azoospermia causes a blockage or missing connections in the epididymis, ejaculatory ducts, vas deferens, or somewhere in the tract of the reproductive organ. In this condition, a man would be producing sperm, but due to blockage or absence of connection, the sperm is unable to exit in an appropriate amount. This type of Azoospermia can occur due to many factors such as Infection, Previous surgeries in the pelvic area, Cyst development, and Vasectomy.

What is Non-Obstructive Azoospermia?

In this type of Azoospermia, man faces infertility problems because of inadequate or nil\zero sperm production due to flaws in the structure or function of the testicles.

The defects can occur due to many factors such as genetic causes- Kallman syndrome, Kleinfelter syndrome, and Y chromosome deletion. Hormonal imbalance, Ejaculation problems, and testicular problems such as anorchia, Sertoli cell syndrome, spermatogenic arrest, Mumps orchitis, tumors, Radiation treatments, and diseases such as diabetes, kidney failure, cirrhosis, and varicocele can also be a factor behind non-obstructive Azoospermia.

Prevention Is Always Better Than Cure.

If Azoospermia is not caused due to genetics, there are many ways through which we can prevent it.

  •  Avoid engaging in activities that can cause injury to the reproductive organ. 
  •  Avoid being exposed to radiation.
  •  Avoid medications that can harm sperm production. 

Avoid exposing your testicles to hot temperatures for a prolonged period.

International Yoga Day 2022: 7 Healthy Drinks to Support Your Yoga Practice

International Yoga Day 2022: 7 Healthy Drinks to Support Your Yoga Practice

Every Year 21st June is celebrated as International Yoga Day. While we all are indulging ourselves in Yoga, there are a few ancient principles that should be followed to support and gain Positive effects from our practices. 

International Yoga Day - Importance of this Day  

Yoga (Union) has been practiced in India since the 5th century. It has shown benefits in keeping the body and mind in sound health. It is said that Yoga asana makes the body strong and flexible, and as the health improves, the mind itself gets renewed with confidence. 

It was Prime Minister Narendra Modi who suggested this day be celebrated as International Yoga day during his speech at the UNGA, which was then accepted by 177 member states of UNGA. 

We at Dr. Health take this day as an occasion to celebrate our therapeutic ways prescribed from Ayurveda, which consists of life-transforming Yogic exercise and herbal medicines that promote male fertility and skin health

International Yoga Day – Why is Yoga Necessary for a Healthy Body?

“Yoga is a way of living that nurtures mental and Physical health, leaving us in perfect equilibrium and harmony.”

Yoga is now acclaimed as a science of modern living. As we have made ourselves so busy with our work and lifestyle choices, Yoga is the only way out. Yoga has the power to calm our busy minds, maintain resilience and develop an integrated personality. Yoga has shown positive effects in treating Male Infertility and has also played an important role in keeping skincare up to date.  

As everything in our surroundings has flourished, our work life has also reached a stage where we constantly spend most of our time in one place. Our way of living has been made so easy that everything is available at the doorstep. All the advances have positive as well as negatively affected us. 

While negatively affected by the way of living that we have acquired, I see Yoga as the only way to relax your mind and body at once. Yoga can do unspeakable miracles if performed in our daily routine. Yoga can reduce stress, keep you in check with reality, build up your determination, makes you more flexible, and allows you to have a “Me Time.”

While engaged in regular yogic exercises, you should also know the ways to support your practices. And to do that, with the guidance of Dr. Himanshu Dhawan and Dr. Megha Chaturvedi, I have come up with a few herbal drinks that give you 100% benefits of your indulgence in Yoga and also promote male fertility and skin health.

International Yoga Day – Drinks that will Boost your Yoga Practices.

As the sessions change, our body goes through the cycle of changes that serve to harmonize and create balance within. The influence is mainly due to the overall changes such as hours of daylight, sessional food, weather patterns, and seasonally inspired activities. 

As the summer is at its peak, we have restricted ourselves from engaging in activities that promote physical and mental health. Even I have stooped cycling as the heat is unbearable. As I experienced that I was falling into a sedentary lifestyle, I decided to start with Yoga. While performing Surya Namskar, Anjaneyasana, Utkatasana, and various other Yoga poses, I was recommended by the experts of Dr. Health to add on some detoxing drinks that will support my Yogic Practices, and it actually helped me. That is why I decided to let everyone know what these drinks are and how they are beneficial.

Skincare Myths on the Internet Debunked by Skincare Expert – Dr. Megha Chaturvedi

Skincare Myths on the Internet Debunked by Skincare Expert – Dr. Megha Chaturvedi

Thanks to the internet & old wives’ tales, there are ‘n’ numbers of skincare advice being thrown around—and not all of it is good. In fact, some of this ‘advice’ can really be harmful to your skin & health. With the help of Dr. Megha Chaturvedi (BAMS), a skincare specialist at Dr. Health, I investigated five common skin care claims to see exactly why they don’t hold up. Continue to read this article, and see what I found out below, plus, get recommendations for what you should be doing instead. 

Everyone wants to feel beautiful with the skin they’re in. So, to take care of your skin, you purchase a bunch of products, listen to advice on the internet or from friends & family, and think you’re set. But unfortunately, it is not always as simple as that. 

Today, my blog is all set & prepared to bust some very popular myths on the internet. I asked Dr. Megha Chaturvedi, consultant skincare expert at Dr. Health, to clear up the truth behind these common beauty fables… So without further ado, let’s start with. Here are a few skincare myths you don’t want to be fooled by.

Not Washing your Face Causes Acne & Breakouts

Myth #1:Not Washing your Face Causes Acne & Breakouts

Fact: By stating this, I am not upholding unhygienic practices. Hygiene is critical to each individual’s overall health & also plays an important role in skincare. Dr. Megha Chaturvedi says, “Hygiene doesn't play a vital role in the development of Acne. Acne involves oil production, bacteria, clogged pores, & inflammation, with hormones & stress playing a significant role and diet (to a lesser extent) for some individuals.” Not washing your face might not be a great idea when it comes to managing breakouts & Acne, but it is not the definitive cause that leads to them.

Higher the SPF, the Better the Sun Protection

Myth #2: Higher the SPF, the Better the Sun Protection

FactBelieve it or not, but this is a myth that most of us have fallen for while shopping for sunscreen. Most of the individuals are under the impression that if SPF is higher, the sunscreen will provide better sun protection & prevent them from tanning. However, SPF (Sun Protection Factor) works inversely – above a higher SPF barely has any benefits over a lower SPF. An SPF 30 blocks 97% UV rays, whereas SPF 50 blocks 98% UV rays. Dr. Megha says, “SPF 30 is more than sufficient for everyday use, and anything higher than this is just a marketing gimmick and an unnecessary feed for your skin.”

You’ll Age Faster if you Wear Makeup Regularly

Myth #3: You’ll Age Faster if you Wear Makeup Regularly

Fact: Makeup is a women’s best friend, but is it true that makeup can turn into an enemy which causes premature aging? Honestly speaking, this is a myth that I was eager to bust. With a good skincare routine, there is nothing on this planet that can make you age faster. Dr. Megha Chaturvedi says, “one needs to ensure that they are using good quality products & then removing them all before they call it for the day. And, these two things will go a very long way.” 

Dark Circles are a Sign you're Tired

Myth #4: Dark Circles are a Sign you're Tired.

Fact: Dark circles are often considered the universal sign of being tired. While a lack of sleep can cause dark circles under your eyes, it’s not the only possible cause. “Discoloration around the eyes occurs when blood & fluids are not circulating efficiently”, points out Dr. Megha Chaturvedi. She also says, “you might be wondering why you have dark circles if you are not tired. A variety of factors can cause you to look tired & worn down.”

Yes, a lack of sleep can definitely exacerbate the issue, but it is not the only cause. It could mean that you have a lack of iron or are not getting enough oxygen, she adds. Not to mention, dark circles also become much more prominent the thinner the skin is, and that naturally occurs with age.

Only Teenagers can Get Acne & Pimples

Myth #5: Only Teenagers can Get Acne & Pimples

Fact: As teenagers, we are often told that we will eventually outgrow Acne as we grow up. Though it is true that teenagers get Acne as they go through puberty & have fluctuating levels of hormones, they are not the only ones who can get it. But, Dr. Megha Chaturvedi (BAMS) claims, “Acne can occur at any point in our lives, including adulthood. While pregnancy & menopause are the common culprits of Acne & pimples, poor lifestyle habits, inadequate water intake, irregular eating habits, pollution, etc., can cause it too.” 

Unfortunately, acne triggers are not age-dependent but can be managed using herbal Ayurvedic treatment & skincare remedies. Basic habits like cleansing twice a day, following the basic skincare routine, always taking off your makeup at night, and eating well can go a long way in achieving clearer & better-nourished skin, she says.

Words from Dr. Megha Chaturvedi

Stay away from these skincare myths and follow the right advice. At the end of the day, there is a lot of information out there that might not be true. In fact, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably isn’t. Plus, there are so many people out there who either claim to be experts or find skincare hacks that they think are game-changers but aren’t doing your skin any favors.

Now, it’s time to put your knowledge up & put together a skincare routine that can help keep your complexion in tip-top shape.

7 Environmental Pollutants that Cause Male Infertility

7 Environmental Pollutants that Cause Male Infertility.

With the extensive progress in technology, our lives have been made easy, but it has made every one of us to rely on the technology, and to do so, we are exhausting all our natural resources and energy, which in turn is leading to the degradation of our environment, a lesser amount of resources for sustaining our life and Health relating problems, like male infertility.

“As we are overusing natural fuels to get the motor started, we have also offered a hand to the air pollution that has raised in our home the mother earth.”

“With an increased use of plastic, the sea, land, even the air has been permanently polluted.”

“Even after experiencing this dooming climatic pollution and health problems, we have now come under impacts of harmful chemicals such as industrial waste, herbicides, food additives, insecticides, and pesticides which we come in contact with daily.”

“Due to this rise in pollution, 70% of our water is getting polluted daily.”

“Fertility problems in men and women have increased drastically by impairing the process of Sertoli cell, sperm function, spermatogenesis, and steroidogenesis.”

Particulate Matter

Particulate Matter

Particulate matter is a combination of liquid and solid particles found in the air. These particles are present in our atmosphere in many sizes and shapes, consisting of hundreds of chemicals. These particles emit directly from a source such as construction sites, fields, smokestacks, fire, and unpaved roads. Most of these particles are a reaction of chemicals such as nitrogen oxides and sulfur dioxide that are emitted from power plants, automobile manufacturers, and industries.

 

Volatile Organic Compounds

Volatile Organic Compounds

VOC are compounds that you can smell when you open up a nail polish bottle or when you smell gasoline. They are carbon-based compounds that can be present in many items in our home and office buildings. Some examples of VOC are hexane, vinyl chloride, and formaldehyde. Volatile organic compounds are found in paint, Petroleum fuels, dry cleaning agents, and paint thinners. VOCs can cause harm to male fertility by lowering the total sperm count and testosterone levels in the body.

 

Ozone

Ozone

This type of air pollution is created at the surface of the earth by the combustion of fossil fuels. The ground-level ozone is formed by the reaction of the precursors of fossil fuel and the UV rays emitted by the sun. It is known that ozone particles can cross the blood-gas barrier and enter the bloodstream, causing oxidative stress that disrupts testicular and sperm function. Evidence shows that long-term exposure to ozone has an increased risk of health problems such as premature death, asthma, and heart attack and can also cause low sperm count. 

Nitrogen Oxide

This is a colorless toxin that is formed by the oxidation of nitrogen. NO2 is formed when fossil fuels such as coal, gas, diesel, and petroleum are burned at high temperatures. It is one of the main pollutants that causes air pollution. All the motor vehicles such as trucks, cars, buses, power plants, diesel-powered construction equipment, and industrial boilers. Long-term exposure to this pollutant compound can cause fertility problems in men, such as decreased sperm motility and sperm toxicity.

Sulphur Dioxide

 Sulphur Dioxide

Sulphur dioxide is also a colorless gas that has a strong irritating odor. The primary source of this pollution is burning fossil fuels and by smelting mineral ores that hold sulphur. Volcanic eruptions can also be a source of sulphur dioxide pollution in our environment. When sulphur dioxide emission occurs, it combines with the air and water, which creates sulphuric acid, which eventually leads to acid rain. The research found that exposure to sulphur dioxide may cause lower semen quality by affecting the early stage of sperm development. It also stated that SO2 could also reduce sperm count and increase sperm malformation and abnormal testicular pathological changes.

Carbon Monoxide

Carbon Monoxide

This pollutant is formed from the incomplete combustion of carbon-containing fuels such as gasoline, natural gas, and wood. It can also be produced by motor vehicles, power plants, wildfires, and incinerators. Carbon monoxide can enter your body through your skin and while breathing. CO exposure can happen while engaged in welding work, iron and steel foundries, smoking procedures, car repair shops, and service stations where vehicle exhaust gases are present. A study found that exposure to carbon monoxide can cause a reduction in sperm.

Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons

 Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons

PAH are class of chemicals that are naturally formed in coal, crude oil, and gasoline. They form up in our air when fuels such as coal, gas, wood, garbage, and tobacco are burned. You can get exposed to PAH through your skin, breathing, and consuming grilled and charred food items or when eating food that has high PAH particles that have settled from the air. Men who are exposed to PAHs through occupation or air pollution have bulky PAH-DNA adducts in the sperm, Lowered sperm count, Motility, and morphology alterations.

 Best Ways and precautions for Air Pollution

1). By using public transport we can reduce the usage of personal cars and motorbikes that can decrease the emissions degrading our Health.

 2). Always turn off lights and fans when not in use

 3). Recycle and reuse

 4). Increase forest supervision to stop forest fires

 5). Use filters in the chimneys of big factories and industries that mass-produce consumer goods. 

 6). Do not burst crackers

 7). Plant more trees that will help reduce air pollution

 8). Always check the levels of air pollution before going out, and if the levels are high, use a mask and do not exercise in such conditions and go for indoor exercise.

 9). Use electric bikes or cars that do not emit Health defecting gas.

 10). Stay away from factories and industries that produce or emit such pollutants.

Male infertility has been the main factor that causes difficulties in conceiving. There are many factors that cause male infertility, one of which is air pollution, which has been increasing day by day. We have dumped what we do not want. We have taken everything from this earth without even thinking twice. Now is our chance to repent and do good for all of us.

Dr. Health has dedicated its services to the betterment of the male population who are struggling with problems of male fertility such as low sperm count, nil sperm count, varicocele, premature ejaculation, and Erectile dysfunction. With the guidance of Dr.Himanshu Dhawan, many people have found relief from fertility ailments with the help of Ayurvedic medicines and the Ayurvedic way of life.

Help yourself and everyone else to breathe cleaner air. Please do not contribute to the ultimate cruelty going on to our earth and ourselves. Opt for a cleaner source of energy and live longer with your family and the whole world.

World No Tobacco Day 2022: How Cigarette Smoke Can Affect Male Fertility

World No Tobacco Day 2022

So let’s use World No Tobacco Day (May 31, 2022) as a launching pad to a brighter and less smokey future! World No Tobacco Day is dedicated to draw global attention to the tobacco epidemic and the preventable death and disease it causes. Infertility rates in both male & female smokers are about twice the rate of infertility found in the non-smokers.

Smoking & Male Fertility: Just the Facts

Can smoking hurt your sperm? Yes. It can also negatively affect male fertility. 

Smoking is injurious to health. The caution you that may have come across ubiquitously in your day-to-day life. But still, it goes unheeded. Cigarette or tobacco smoking not only affect your lungs but also leads to the health of your kidneys, heart, & even sperms. Yeah, it can lead to male and female infertility. In this article, Dr. Himanshu Dhawan, Male Infertility Specialist, Dr. Health, sheds light on the effects of cigarette & tobacco smoking on Male Fertility.

There is no secret that smoking is damaging to our health. Most individuals are aware that it enhances the risk for heart, vascular, & lung diseases, though still, a major chunk doesn’t realize that the toxin contained in cigarettes or tobacco can also affect fertility in both men & women, leading to erectile dysfunction (ED), poor sperm quality, & pregnancy complications as well. Recent data shows that smoking habits might be responsible for fertility struggles in as many as 13% of couples.

For couples struggling with infertility - knowledge is power. To aid these couples to improve their chances of getting pregnant, fertility specialist Dr. Himanshu Dhawan, BAMS, explains how smoking impacts fertility for men.

Smoking Harms Male Fertility

Does Male Smoking Cause Male Infertility?

Cigarettes contain toxins that are often blamed for their bad effect on male health. Men who smoke are exposed to high levels of metals like cadmium & lead that have been linked to decreased fertility. Lead & cadmium levels have been found to significantly affect semen quality resulting in poor sperm concentration, shape, & movement. 

However, you must know that smoking doesn’t stand to be the only cause of infertility in men. There can also be other causes of infertility, such as age, low sperm production, or abnormal sperm function.

Can Smoking Affect Sperms?

Smoking does not spare any organs or cells, & hence, it has a negative impact on sperm health due to smoking being unavoidable. Studies have shown a decrease in the quality of semen and a 23% decrease in sperm concentration in men who smoke as compared to a non-smoker. Smoking also impacts sperm motility which makes it difficult to fertilize eggs. And, if the egg is fertilized, the embryo might have fewer chances of survival due to harmful chemicals in the embryo & growing fetus. Smoking in men also enhances the risk of a non-viable pregnancy & hence it puts you at high risk of miscarriages.

Smoking Causes Low Sperm Count
Smoking Causes Several DNA Changes

Does Smoking Lead to DNA Damage in Sperm?

Some recent studies have found that the sperm of smokers has enhanced DNA fragmentation. The DNA-damaged sperm might lead to problems with embryo development, fertilization, embryo implantation, & increased miscarriage rates. Male smokers might also have abnormal hormone levels that can affect fertility.

Dr. Himanshu Dhawan also says, “Male smoking is related to decreased pregnancy rates & possibly increased miscarriage rates. Secondhand smoke can harm female partners’ fertility, as well. When he smokes, it not only decreases his sperm health. It also decreases her fertility.”

How Can Smoking Cause Erectile Dysfunction (ED)?

Smoking cigarettes, cigars, or pipe tobacco on the regular basis can damage your blood vessels, reducing arterial blood flow throughout the body. The key culprit is nicotine, which is an identified vasoconstrictor (a type of chemical which reduces blood flow throughout the body).

It can be extremely damaging to your sexual performance, as erections are reliant on the mix of signaling from your brain and a dependable level of blood supply via the arteries of men's penis. When you feel sexually aroused, your brain sends the signal to nerves in the men’s penis. This triggers the opening of arteries, increasing blood flow to the corpus cavernosum—the spongy tissue of the penis which fills & hardens to form the erection.

Smoking Damages Tissues In The Penis

Reduced blood flow from smoking or other unhealthy habits can make it much more problematic to achieve the erection, leaving you with a weak erection or no physical response at all to sexual arousal. Scientific study shows that the severity of erectile dysfunction in smokers is closely linked to their level of exposure to cigarette or tobacco smoke. It also appears to show that quitting tobacco and cigarette smoking can help reduce & eliminate ED symptoms.

Final Verdict

Add the fact that cigarette and tobacco smoking is linked to sperm damage & other fertility issues into the equation & it is clear that cigarettes are not really compatible with sexual & reproductive health.

With this information... Let’s all join together to motivate dedication BEFORE PLANNING FOR FATHERHOOD & SAY GOODBYE to tobacco smoking anytime soon... So that

6 Common Skin Problems In Summers

6 Common Skin Problems In Summers

When riding through these busy roads to my office, I have seen many people who are indulged in their daily work without even using any sunblocks or any accessories such as a hat, mask, or sunglasses. This has made me to wonder that there will be thousands of people who go through such difficulties in their lives, and this has insisted me to inform everyone about the skin problems that one face in the summers.

Every one of us has to go outside, maybe to work, go shopping, or play, so it is essential to understand the consequences of sun exposure.

I personally advise children, young adults, and working men and women to foresee the dangerous effects of sun exposure as they cause changes in the skin, Early aging, Eye injury, Lowered immune system, and skin cancer. In this blog, 6 common skin problems that people experience in the summer will be discussed.

 

Sunburn

Sunburn

Sunburn is the most common problem that most people struggle with in the summer season. Sunburn is mainly caused when an individual's skin is exposed to ultraviolet (UV) light for a more extended time. When your skin is exposed to the sun, your body protects itself by producing melanin faster. The extra melanin causes the tan that we see when we come out of the sun. But if we expose ourselves for a longer time to the sun, it can burn our skin and cause red rashes and other complications.

Heat Rash

Heat Rash

Heat rash develops on our skin when the sweat glands under the skin surface get blocked or inflamed. The blockage or inflammation is mainly caused due to increased heat and humidity. When these ducts get blocked, the sweat does not evaporate; rather than that, it gets trapped beneath the skin. When heat rash develops, it will cause the formation of an itchy rash that results in tiny red bumps. This skin problem is also called prickly skin. You can prevent it by avoiding exposure to the sun and by wearing loose-fitting clothing.

Acne Breakouts

Acne Breakouts

Acne formation mainly takes place when oil and bacteria get clogged in the pores of the skin. When you are out in the sun exposing yourself to harmful rays, it can cause excessive sweatiness. When we sweat, it causes oil and bacteria to build up, which gives the perfect environment for acne to develop. If you are struggling with an acne problem, it is recommended to take precautions to avoid sweating and use clean towels to cleanse your face and with that, wash your sweaty clothes before use.

Psoriasis Flare-Ups

Psoriasis Flare-Ups

People who have psoriasis can actually struggle with a major outbreak in the season of summer. While a moderate amount of sun can relieve your symptoms, over-exposure and the excessive heat can cause sunburns, rashes, and itchiness that can flare up psoriasis. Mainly heat and sweat flare up psoriasis on your scalp and face. Therefore, it is advised to avoid sun exposure and wear sunscreen if you plan to go out in the sun for more than ten-fifteen minutes.

Dry-Irritated Skin

Dry-Irritated Skin

When exposing ourselves to hot air and humid weather, it can cause dryness and irritation on the skin. The dryness and irritation might be temporary, but if excessive irritation occurs, it can cause us to itch more harshly, which might cause scarring. Dryness of the skin can also cause a crack, which might allow bacteria to enter and cause infections. If dry, irritated skin is not treated in time, it can cause atopic dermatitis that can cause rash and cracking skin.

 Sun Allergy 

 Sun Allergy 

People who are sensitive to the sunlight can develop allergies, and the most common sun allergy is polymorphic light eruptions which are also known as sun poisoning. When sun allergy affects one's skin, it can cause redness, itchiness, Scaling, Blisters, and tiny bumps. Sun allergy can also occur if an individual is on some medication that reacts upon the skin when exposed to the sunlight. Some of the medications are ketoprofen, tetracycline, doxycycline, etc. 

All the above-given information is delivered to inform the people about the harmful effects of sun exposure and some skin complications one might go through in the summer season. Being aware of these skin problems, one can opt for a better resolution if they expose themselves to the sun or are living in a place where temperatures are high.

We at Dr.Health have dedicated our services to the betterment of people struggling with skin problems. Here at Dr. Health, the treatment is based on the ancient science of Ayurveda that uses herbal medicines, a suitable diet, and appropriate exercise for the betterment of people affected with Psoriasis, Vitiligo, Acne, and Eczema.

5 Dreadful Factors to Blame for Male Infertility – Tips to Overcome it

5 Dreadful Factors to Blame for Male Infertility

 

Want to become a dad? Here's what you should do to give you & your partner the best chance of parenthood. Did you know -wearing tight pants or maintaining sitting in a single place for long stretches can result in a low sperm count or male infertility? Continue to read this article and embark on all your answers.

In the last two decades, the reproductive health of males has taken a serious beating seeing a bunch of factors, most of which can be credited to the faulty lifestyle. From bike riding to wearing tight pants and, ironically, smoking & drinking alcohol, there are lots of factors.

Says Dr. Himanshu Dhawan (BAMS), "It is a serious problem of modern-day lifestyle today. Male Infertility has increased many folds due to people’s bad habits & poor lifestyles. Any type of addiction is indeed bad for the reproductive health", "But, the problem can always be corrected with the lifestyle improvements and Ayurvedic treatments", he added.

Female fertility is often in the news, & we know that a women’s age & health can affect her ability to become pregnant. We do not see so much discussion on male fertility, but if you are trying to become a dad, you need to be aware of the factors that can temporarily or permanently reduce male fertility. Some factors to pay attention to when you are planning to conceive are –

 

Beware! Prolonged Sitting Can Heat Up The Testicles

Sitting, whether it is for work, for long driving trips, or just to watch television, can also trap heat around the testicles, and that is not beneficial for male fertility. Take breaks to stand and walk around. Prolonged sitting in your workplace can also overheat your testicles. Thus, if you sit at a desk all day, it's possible that the quality of your sperm might be affected. 
Remaining sedentary might be particularly challenging if you drive for a living. One study that is looking at taxi drivers suggests that car vibrations might contribute to fertility issues.

Laptops Can Burn You More Than A Slap

Considering laptops can get hot enough to burn the legs, guys may want to keep them away from the crown jewels, as well. There’s evidence that, just like in hot tubs & saunas, the heat from a laptop can raise the scrotal temperature that, again, might interfere with sperm production.
Sitting with the laptop on your lap, even if it is on the padded tray, can also significantly increase the temperature of your testicles. If possible, use the laptop on the table instead. The battery of laptops can produce quite a bit of heat. While not all the experts agree that laptops can cause male infertility, Dr. Himanshu Dhawan (BAMS) says – “if you are trying to conceive, you might have to keep the laptop on a table or desk instead of on your lap just to be safe.”

Be Careful! Tight Trousers Or Pants Can Damage Testicles

“I have seen numerous cases of men who have twisted their testicles due to wearing tight trousers or pants,” said Dr. Himanshu Dhawan (BAMS). When you wear tight pants, jeans, or briefs, you are putting your scrotum in cozy quarters, which can trap heat in the testicles, & this is particularly true during hot summer months when you might already be overheated. "Testicles hang in men’s scrotum need to keep cool – they need to be 2.2 degrees centigrade cooler than the core body temperature," says Dr. Himanshu Dhawan (BAMS), men's health expert at Dr. Health." If men wear tight pants or underwear or trousers, their testicles become too, due to which both testosterone & sperm production decrease – a common reason for male infertility. You can wear boxers or loose pants, which are made from natural fiber – cotton.

Yeah! 3 Pegs of Alcohol Can Turn You Infertile

It's not just the ladies who need to check their alcohol consumption if they are planning for a baby anytime soon. Even the males need to be careful about their booze doze. The fact is that alcohol causes infertility in males.
If you are an alcoholic person & you are consuming 60ml plus of any alcoholic drink in one day, there are fair chances that you can turn infertile. Drinking alcohol lowers testosterone levels, causes erectile dysfunction, & decreases sperm production. Moreover, liver diseases that are caused by excessive drinking also might lead to fertility problems in men

Smoking, A Hazard To Your Sperm Count

So, if you are too much into Smoking tobacco or Marijuana, it is directly going to affect your fertility. Smoking lowers the sperm count. Second-hand smoke might affect the fertility of males. Male smokers can suffer decreased sperm quality with lower mobility which boots the numbers of abnormally shaped sperm. Moreover, if you are a chain smoker, it might also decrease the sperm's ability to fertilize eggs.
High alcohol consumption and heavy smoking can cause lower testosterone levels & alter sexual function. Smoking can also adversely affect male fertility, as it might lower sperm count & make it challenging for the little fellows to make their way to a fallopian tube & fertilize an egg.

A Word From Dr. Health

It’s never too late to improve your sperm health. Thus, if you are trying to conceive, staying away from all such habits can make a significant difference. Good health comes from a strict fitness attitude. A fit attitude of males means a robust & well-maintained male reproductive system that avoids heat stress on their testicles. Many men who are diagnosed with male factor infertility face an emotionally complex journey. A fit body, a good lifestyle, and living with an Ayurvedic approach always yield fertility in men. A couple facing male infertility needs to communicate about what is happening to them.

If you want an expert consultation to see improvements in sperm quality, you can come down to our Male Infertility Treatment at Dr. Health to increase your chances of reproductive success.
