Why some women can’t get pregnant

Many factors are said to be responsible for infertility.
Endometriosis, a female health disorder that occurs when cells from the lining of the womb (uterus) grow in other areas of the body, has been identified as a major cause.
According to the Managing Director, Nordica Fertility Centre, Dr Abayomi Ajayi, endometriosis affects fertility by 20 per cent.
He said it could lead to pain, irregular bleeding and problems getting pregnant.
“It is a common condition that occurs in about five to 10 per cent of women within reproductive age group of 15 to 44 years worldwide, “he added.
 Ajayi said most women with the condition do not know because the condition has been either misdiagnosed or not diagnosed. “Even in developed countries, a woman may have suffered from the condition for up to eight years before proper diagnosis is done.
On the symptoms, he said, they are severe period pains or menstrual cramping, which are caused by contracting of uterine muscle initiated by prostaglandins which have been released from endometrial tissue.
“Endometriosis can also cause pain during intercourse, a condition known as dyspareunia. It may not be curable, but fortunately, many effective treatments for managing the condition and maximising the chances of conception are now available.
“Endometriosis may affect the ovaries, resulting in blood filled cysts called endometriosis. In some cases, bands of fibrous scar tissue called adhesions may bind the uterus, tubes, ovaries and nearby intestines together. Adhesions and scarring are responsible for tubal damage,” he said.
Highlighting some of the ways it can be managed, Dr Abayomi said: “Surgical excision of endometriosis cysts or tissue may be recommended. Adhesion may also be surgically removed, in an attempt to clean up the pelvis. All surgeries can be carried out by operative laparascopy/laparotomy.
“Hormonal treatment is also available to suppress the chronic irritation and cysts caused by endometriosis. Danazol, progesterone, oral pills and GnRH analogues are some useful drugs. In mild endometriosis, ovulation induction and intra uterine insemination may be considered, otherwise IVF treatment is usually indicated.”

Historic Mideast trip: Obama’s $1.5m limo breaks down in Israel •After his driver puts petrol in engine instead of diesel


 

If Obama’s driver was attached to the Nigeria president and made the above captured mistake,am sure Nigerian would have concluded that the driver does not know his job, just like the My Oga saga

President Barack Obama’s historic visit to Israel on Wednesday had an embarrassing setback when his armored limousine broke down on the way to the airport.
The custom General Motors Cadillac limo was relegated to a pick up truck after the driver accidentally put gas (petrol) in the engine instead of diesel.
Mr Obama arrived in Tel Aviv on Wednesday afternoon local time, and earlier that morning, the limo that was designated to his hotel was unable to move after the driver made the silly mistake.
Local news reports alleged that it was the President’s limo that was shipped over specially from Washington that broke down so he was forced to use the second vehicle that they brought over from the U.S.
Since the car was not able to take him from the airport, thankfully Obama was always scheduled to leave the airport via helicopter in order to avoid passing through the Palestinian checkpoints that interrupt the route from Ben Gurion Airport to Jerusalem.
The United States Secret Service put out a statement about the incident, saying that it was a situation where it pays for them to be prepared.
On his arrival, Obama and his host, Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, spoke of the “unbreakable” bond between their two countries, after the president arrived in Israel on Wednesday.
During his first state trip to the country, Obama is expected to discuss Iran’s disputed nuclear programme and the crisis in Syria with Israeli leaders.
On Thursday, the president will meet Palestinian president, Mahmoud Abbas in the West Bank, where he can expect a mixed reception.
Obama was met at Tel Aviv’s airport on Wednesday morning by Netanyahu and Israel’s president, Shimon Peres, a military band and a host of other officials and dignitaries.
“Good to see you … it’s good to get away from Congress,” Obama told Netanyahu, who laughed. Obama told Peres “good to see you, brother” and after they reviewed an honor guard of troops, the two presidents hugged each other and smiled.
All three men gave speeches that emphasised the friendship between the U.S. and Israel – Netanyahu spoke of the “unbreakable alliance,” Obama the “unbreakable bond.”
Obama, who began his speech with “shalom,” said he was “confident in declaring that our alliance is eternal.”
“The United States is proud to stand with you as your strongest ally and your greatest friend,” he said.
He said it was not an accident that he had made the first overseas trip of his second term in office to Israel.
“Across this region, the winds of change bring both promise and peril,” Obama said, likely a reference to the Arab Spring uprisings that saw an Islamist president voted into power in Egypt and a civil war erupt in Syria.
In his speech, Netanyahu thanked Obama for “standing by Israel at this time of historic change in the Middle East.”
“We deeply appreciate your friendship and we share your hope that the Middle East will enjoy a future of freedom, prosperity and peace,” he added.
Picking up on comments Obama made before the trip expressing the desire to put on a disguise and go to a Tel Aviv bar Netanyahu joked that he had lined up a few locations and “even picked out a fake mustache for you.”
Obama will on Tuesday view an “Iron Dome” air defense missile launcher, a U.S.-funded system, which has helped protect Israelis from Hamas rocket attacks from Gaza.
Obama was scheduled to hold formal meetings with Netanyahu later on Wednesday before the pair who have not always seen eye to eye have a private dinner at Netanyahu’s home in the evening.
Netanyahu is expected to attempt to get Obama to agree to define a “red line” for Iran -- the point in its nuclear development at which military action would be taken to stop it from getting an atom bomb. Last week, Peres described Iran as “the greatest threat to peace in the world.”
Israel also worries that Islamist factions among the rebels fighting Syria’s Bashar Assad could seize control of the buffer zone between the two countries from the United Nations and threaten Israel with chemical weapons and long-range rockets captured from the regime.

Sacrilege: Dad defiles two daughters, granddaughter !


A man has been arrested by the Lagos State Police Command for allegedly defiling his two daughters and his grandchild. The suspect, Sylvester Ehijere was said to have had carnal knowledge of his first daughter, Favour when she was 17 years old. Ehijere also had carnal knowledge of her 7-year-old daughter,

Chidinma and further did same to his one-year-old granddaughter, Treaga. Ehijere’s wife, Margaret said she had had a running battle with her husband over his immoral and shameful behaviour of defiling their children. She has six children for the suspect and the suspect defiled their two girls. The Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, Ngozi Braide paraded the suspect before newsmen in her office at Oduduwa Street, Ikeja yesterday.

His wife, Margaret alleged that many of their neighbours on Kolawale Street, Ejigbo, where they reside already knew what the suspect had been doing to the children. She said when her first daughter, Favour was 17, her father allegedly defiled her before she got married and delivered the one-year-old baby, who the suspect allegedly defiled recently. The woman alleged that she travelled to Abuja for her catering business when her daughter called her on phone, informing her how the father defiled her and she was rushed to a hospital.

She had to quickly return to Lagos to settle the problem. She said after that, the suspect defiled her seven-year-old daughter identified as Chidinma. As if that was not enough, the man allegedly undressed his granddaughter, Treaga who is a year and three months old. She said he removed Treaga’s diaper and clothe and had carnal knowledge of her. She said the baby was crying and people were wondering what was going on in their apartment. She said as she returned to the apartment, her husband came out sweating.
As she tried to observe what was wrong with the child, she noticed that blood was dripping from her private part. The baby was rushed to the hospital and doctors confirmed that she was defiled. The doctor’s report stipulated that the baby’s hymen was absent. The doctor noted that the baby sustained injury in her private part as a result of the defilement. The woman said she had to report her husband to the police because his atrocities were becoming unbearable.
The woman said it was when she was asking her husband why he descended so low as to defile her granddaughter, Treaga that their seven-year-old daughter, Chidinma narrated how their daddy usually defile her (Chidinma), each time mummy was not in the house. Chidinma said her daddy would promise to buy her fine shoe, clothes and money. She would complain that he usually promised but hardly fulfill it.
She alleged that her daddy would undress her and had carnal knowledge of her. Doctor’s report also stipulated that Chidinma’s hymen was also absent. The suspect, who hails from Edo State debunked the claim, saying he did not have carnal knowledge of any of her children. He said it was his wife, who instigated the children to tell lies against him. His younger brother, Christopher wept that the story would damage the reputation of their family.
