Acne Pregnancy

Acne Pregnancy

Is it normal to be more prone to acne when you're pregnant?

Pregnancy can trigger acne or make existing adult acne worse. (On the other hand, some women with acne-prone skin report a decrease in breakouts during pregnancy.)


Doctors are unanimous: Acne in pregnancy is usually the unpredictable evolution. Although there is a hyperactivity of the sebaceous glands that period, the problem is not frequent. On the contrary, some women even report improvement in skin conditions. This is because the disease is multi-factorial, is, a set of hereditary aspects, genetic and hormonal factors that determine the predisposition of women to present it.
 
For those who torment acne resolved at this stage of life, the advice is to have patience. The consolation is that, during the period of breastfeeding, everything begins to return to normal. "Soon after childbirth, hormone levels drop rapidly, although some skin changes may persist for some time. Normally, in six months the skin back to how it was before, "says obstetrician and gynecologist Jose Carlos Sadalla, the Syrian-Lebanese Hospital in São Paulo.
 
"Sun exposure should be avoided as the heat and humidity can aggravate the situation, besides favoring the appearance of spots on injuries,"

Can a girl get pregnant on her period

Can a girl get pregnant on her period???

It is possible, but very rare. It would be necessary to have a very short menstrual cycle--the period between the first day of menstruation until the beginning of the following--so that the date of ovulation is very close from the time of initial, or a bleeding menstruation that lasts a lot.

Conception occurs when an egg and a sperm meet in one of the fallopian tubes. Sometime in the middle of a typical 28-day menstrual cycle, usually between the 12th and the 16th day, an egg matures into one of the ovaries. The ovary then releases the egg up to the abdomen, where it is quickly picked up by the opening of the tulip-shaped Horn (or fallopian tube).

An egg can survive in for about 12:0 am after being released by the ovary. Therefore, the only way to get pregnant is if a sperm is present in the region during this interval. If the egg is not fertilized, he cuts along with the uterine wall during menstruation.

Generally, when you gets, another ovum is already developing in preparation for the restart cycle. But the point is that the cycle of each woman has a different duration.

Many have 28 day cycles, while others only 22. In this case, it is possible to ovulate a few days after menstruation begins. And whereas the sperm can stay alive in the reproductive tract for up to three days, it is theoretically conceivable to have an encounter with the mature ovum.

For example: you became unwell on April 1st. and had sex on day 7, when he was still bleeding a little. And ovulated on day 10. The sperm can survive inside and "catch" the egg, and then you will get "pregnant unwell".

It is still possible to confuse a little bleeding between periods (in the fertile period) with a period of fact. If you have some bleeding of this kind, please do not hesitate to find a gynecologist.

The time it takes for an egg to ripen in the ovaries varies, so the day of ovulation can change enough. There's even ovulation of pharmacy which measure the fertile period through estrogen levels, instead of maximum amount of luteinizing hormone, or LH, the substance that causes the output of the egg inside the follicle. If this is considered, the fertile period can seem that starts a little earlier in the cycle.

Ectopic Pregnancy Definition

Ectopic Pregnancy Definition

An ectopic pregnancy is a pregnancy complication that occurs when the fertilized egg implants in a tissue outside of the uterus. Usually an ectopic pregnancy arises in one of the fallopian tubes (egg canals that lead to the ovary uterus), being known as a tubal pregnancy. Can sometimes arise in the abdomen, ovary or cervix (cervix). An ectopic pregnancy cannot survive, and the growing tissue can be responsible for the destruction of some nearby structures as well as lead to great losses of blood and put women's lives at risk. This type of complication happens 1/100 pregnancies.

This diagnosis is confirmed by an ultrasound and transvaginal usually by blood tests.

If the ectopic pregnancy not to respond to drug treatments or if you are in a more advanced state, a laparoscopy may be needed. It will require a small incision in the lower abdomen, and then inserted a small tube with a camera on the end to observe the area and to remove the ectopic tissue.

Is it true that pregnant womans can not dye her hair?

Is it true that pregnant womans can not dye her hair?

 

The little that is known indicates that it is probably safe to dye your hair during pregnancy. The Organization of Teratology Information Services (Otis), an international network that disseminates data about possible risks in pregnancy, States that there are no reports of that hair dyes have entailed major changes in pregnancy. The Agency also points out that very little of the chemistry of the ink is actually absorbed by the body. Other studies that show possible harmful effects are still not definitive.

Anyway, it doesn't cost anything to sin by excess and try to wait as much as possible, to return to paint your hair.

The obstetrician Rosa Maria Ruocco, Hospital das Clínicas, advises not to dye their hair at least in the first trimester of pregnancy, because it is a larger phase formation of fetal tissues and organs. For her, "preferably, the good is to wait until 20 weeks".

The doctor also has some tips for those who are not holding on the visual, or white hair: use tints (that have short duration), lights and reflections--because they are products that barely touch the scalp, they can be applied from the second half of pregnancy with greater security.

"I advise the pure henna, which seems to have no influence on the fetal development", says the obstetrician.

If you want to apply a natural product, keep an eye out for buying a pure henna, and not mixed with other chemicals, that end up being the same thing as the dyes. Check out the label.

When choosing a salon to dye your hair, make sure to choose a well ventilated place to not overexpose to chemical vapors during application. The same goes for the home application, which should go straight to the manufacturer's instructions and last for the shortest time possible. Be sure to wear gloves and rinse hair thoroughly after.

Waxing And Pregnancy

Waxing And Pregnancy !!!

In a general way if you use wax and you are not too sensitive to pain there isn't any problem. You may feel more sensitive because  increased flow of blood coursing through the body, especially in the vaginal area, and may suffer more than usual in the hour of waxing.

"Both the hot wax as the cold will not do harm to the mother or the baby, but you have to be very careful with the hygiene of the place where women shave because, yes it can be factor transmitter of diseases , "says obstetrician Daniela Maeyama, Hospital and Maternity in Sao Paulo.
To avoid problems, make sure that the wax used on you is not reused for other customers (even hot) and that all material used is disposable.

Dr. Daniela recommends to his patients to avoid depilatory creams because they are stronger chemicals, which may contain ammonia in the formula and move on to the mother's bloodstream and thus to the developing baby.
You may also use razor blade, but keep in mind that during pregnancy there is more chances you have ingrown hairs, which can annoy enough.

Procedures for permanent hair removal, such as laser or electrolysis, are in principle safe but are not recommended during pregnancy because the hormonal change can cause darkening of the skin at the site of applications. Other techniques, involving the inclusion of chemicals at the location where increased, are not advisable.
