Eye related problems in children usually start emerging especially from the age of 18 months to 4 years. New-borns and infants are equally susceptible to eye problems. Watery eyes, focusing problems, and blurriness are some symptoms of eye problems in children. It is very important to identify vision problems to avoid complications that might hamper a child’s vision permanently. Regular eye examination routines should be followed to keep a check on a child’s vision so that if any problem is detected, it could be treated without any delay. Main types of eye conditions: Amblyopia Lazy eye or amblyopia is one of the main types of eye conditions that children usually suffer from. This type of eye problem usually affects one eye. This is due to the lack of coordination between the brain and the eye i.e., the brain is unable to recognize the signals of one eye. Due to the poor coordination, the brain depends on the other eye strongly and slowly the weaker eye’s vision starts getting worse. Amblyopia usually affects children at a very small age and can cause vision loss if left undiagnosed and untreated. Squinting of an eye, head tilting and double vision are some symptoms shown by children with amblyopia.

Involuntary muscle movements with different causes shown by people suffering from Parkinson’s disease are known as dyskinesia and tremors. Tremors are rhythmic movements that can occur even when one is resting and can cause movement in a particular area like the hand or head or can even cause balancing problems. Dyskinesia, on the other hand, is a disordered movement that cannot be suppressed. The various treatment options for dyskinesia and tremors are determined by the causes. Causes and signs of tremors and dyskinesia Tremors usually occur due to the lack of dopamine, a chemical in the brain that causes involuntary movements. Genetics, age, family history, and medical conditions like Parkinson’s can cause tremors in an individual. Other causes of tremors include medications, Huntington’s disease, vascular disease, brain injury, overactive thyroid glands, and alcohol abuse. Tremors can occur at any age but generally affect people above the age of 45years. Tremors are usually the first signs shown by people with Parkinson’s disease and they can get worse as the disease progresses. If detected at an early stage, tremor symptoms are manageable, but as the symptoms progress, one might find difficulty in performing daily activities without additional support. Dyskinesia, on the other hand, is caused due to high doses or long term use of a medication called levodopa that affects the dopamine levels in the brain.

Erectile dysfunction (ED) is the condition where a man is unable to retain a firm erection to have sexual intercourse. Many men occasionally go through the condition because of certain health conditions like diabetes, obesity, heart disease, high cholesterol, or high blood pressure.

Frequent or continuous erectile dysfunction needs to be checked by one’s doctor. Apart from medications or treatments, these natural remedies for erectile dysfunction can help reverse the condition. Ginkgo Ginkgo biloba is a tree that is native to China and is commonly used as a medicinal source in Asia.

One of the most common and invasive types of cancer in women, breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths after lung cancer. In recent years, support, awareness, and research funding have helped with treatment against breast cancer, giving hope and optimism to many. The common treatments for breast cancer include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and hormonal therapy among others. However, treatment options depend on the person’s age, stage of cancer, cell type, and the person’s general health. Medical research has identified that lifestyle, hormonal and environmental factors may increase the risk of breast cancer in women. Doctors estimate that genetic factors are also at play as 5 to 10 percent of breast cancer cases are linked to gene mutations across generations. Besides the common treatments for breast cancer, doctors can also prescribe other preventive medication options. However, breast cancer patients may have to undergo long-term side effects after the treatment is over. In fact, there are new side effects that occur months or in some cases years after the treatment ends. Here are the common treatments for breast cancer and their side effects: Surgery One of the most common treatments, surgery for breast cancer is of mainly two types:

Osteoporosis is a disease in which our bones become brittle, weak and break easily. It is most common among older adults, especially older women. People with osteoporosis are prone to fractures of the spine, hip and wrist. 25 million people in the country are affected by osteoporosis every year. Though we do not know why it occurs, by making some changes in our lifestyle, we may be able to manage osteoporosis. Mentioned below are some lifestyle treatments for osteoporosis: A healthy diet enriched with calcium and vitamin D A balanced nutritious diet is essential for healthy growth and development. Lack of calcium and vitamin D in our diet may cause bone loss and osteoporosis. Our bones are made of calcium, so eating foods rich in calcium can prevent bone loss. Low-fat dairy food, fish, poultry, green leafy vegetables, fruits, nuts, grains, soy products, and calcium-fortified foods provide strength to our bones. The recommended level of calcium is not consumed by most people in the country. Still, it can be achieved by drinking 3-8 ounce glasses of milk combined with calcium in addition to the rest of the diet. Calcium absorption in the intestine is helped by vitamin D. Therefore, to maintain the calcium level in our body, we should consume food such as egg yolk, liver, saltwater fish (tuna), and fortified dairy products that are rich in vitamin D.
