*5 WAYS TO CARE FOR YOUR PROSTATE GLAND* As men age, they become more aware of the prostate. This is because it doesn’t just grow larger, but poses a problem to their reproductive health. If you’ve ever wondered what the prostate “fuss” is about, this thread is for you 🫵🏻 *WHAT IS THE PROSTATE?* The prostate is a small walnut sized gland that’s part of the male reproductive system.

However, as men get older, the prostate begins to enlarge. This is mostly seen in 40+ men and can lead to various health issues. *WHAT HEALTH ISSUES?* Common prostate conditions include: - Benign prostatic hyperplasia, which is the non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate common in men over 50. - Prostatitis, which is the inflammation or infection of the prostate gland seen in men of all ages. - Prostate cancer, which is one of the most common cancers in men. *WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS?* Common symptoms include: - Frequent urination (especially at night) - Weak urine stream - Trouble starting or stopping urination - Incomplete emptying of bladder - Painful urination - Pain in the pelvis, lower back or groin - Pain during or after ejaculation - Blood in urine or semen - Erectile dysfunction.

These tests should be done annually from age 40 (if you have a family history) or age 45, if you don’t. *5 WAYS TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR PROSTATE* 1.

Avoid overuse of medications - Long term use of antihistamines and decongestants - Long term use of herbal supplements In addition: - Practice safe sex - Urinate immediately after intercourse - Treat infections on time - Maintain a healthy weight - Reduce stress and sleep well - Limit exposure to toxins like pesticides and chemicals. Taking care of your prostate is pretty straight forward. - Are you of African descent or have a family history of prostate issues? - Start screening at 40 years old.

*DAILY HABITS THAT WEAKEN YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM* Your immune system works daily to protect you from illness. But some everyday habits slowly wear it down. Over time, they make you fall sick more easily and recover slower. Below are some habits to watch out for 👇🏾 *🔑 Poor sleep* When you don’t get enough sleep, your body doesn’t make enough protective cells. This weakens your ability to fight infections and slows healing. Try aiming for 7–8 hours of good sleep each night. *🔑 Too much sugar* A diet full of sugary drinks, snacks, and processed foods slows down your immune cells. It also increases inflammation, making your body an easier target for illness. Cutting down on added sugars really helps. *🔑 Not drinking enough water* Water keeps your immune cells moving and helps flush out toxins. If you’re often dehydrated, your immune system works less efficiently. Sip water throughout the day, not just when you're thirsty. *🔑 Skipping fruits and veggies* These foods are rich in vitamins and antioxidants that fuel your immune defense. A low-fruit diet leaves your body under-equipped to fight germs. Add colorful fruits and leafy greens to your meals daily. *🔑 Sitting too long* Staying inactive for long hours weakens circulation, which slows immune response. Movement helps immune cells travel and work better. Even short walks during the day make a difference. *🔑 Chronic stress* Stress hormones like cortisol suppress your immune system. If you're always under pressure, your body becomes more vulnerable to infections. Simple stress relief habits like breathing, prayer, or music can help. *🔑 Low sun exposure* Without enough sunlight, your body makes less vitamin D, a key nutrient for immune strength. Try to get 10–20 minutes of sunlight a day or consider a supplement if needed. Your immune system needs good habits to stay strong. Sleep well, eat clean, drink enough water, and find time to move and relax. Your daily routine is either protecting you. or exposing you 🤷🏽‍♂️

*UNDERSTANDING ENDOMETRIOSIS* A friend of mine has terrible period pain. When I asked if she’s seen a doctor, she said it’ll go away once she gives birth. Many of us have been told the same myth that pregnancy cures endometriosis. But is that really true? What exactly is endometriosis? *WHAT IS ENDOMETRIOSIS?* Endometriosis is a condition where tissue similar to the endometrial lining grows outside of the uterus. This tissue still behaves like the normal lining, it thickens, breaks down and bleeds every month. However, there’s no exit route. The blood gets trapped inside the body and it causes pain. *WHERE ARE THESE TISSUES SEEN?* These abnormal growths can be seen on the: - Ovaries - Fallopian tubes - Outer uterus surface - Bladder, intestine and rectum - Pelvic wall In rare case, it can be seen on the lungs, diaphragm or even the brain. *WHAT SYMPTOMS DO WOMEN EXPERIENCE?* - Painful and heavy menstrual periods - Spotting in between periods - Pelvic or lower back pain - Pain during or after sex - Pain with bowel movement or urination - Infertility issues - Bloating, diarrhea or constipation. The tricky part is endometriosis doesn’t show up on scans, and so women go for years without diagnosis. *WHAT CAUSES ENDOMETRIOSES?* The exact cause is not known, however several theories exist: - Retrograde menstruation, where blood flows backward through the fallopian tube instead of exiting the body. - Coelomic metaplasia, where cells outside the uterus transform into endometrial like tissue due to hormones or inflammation. - Immune dysfunction, where the immune system fails to destroy displaced endometrial tissue. - Genetics: It runs in families. *COMPLICATIONS* Endometriosis can lead to: - Infertility - Ovarian cysts - Chronic pain - Bowel or bladder obstruction - Scar tissues that stick together - Mental health issues like anxiety, depression, low self esteem and social withdrawal. *CAN IT BE TREATED?* There is no cure for endometriosis, but it can be managed using medications, hormone therapy and surgery in severe cases. For women that find it difficult to have a baby, IVF may be carried out. *WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN YOU SUSPECT ENDOMETRIOSES?* - Get an accurate diagnosis from a gynecologist - Explore treatment options depending on pain severity and if you want to get pregnant - Consider joining support groups or therapy to deal with the emotional side of it - Modify your lifestyle - See a fertility specialist if you’re trying to conceive - Be patient with your self. *LIFESTYLE AND SELF CARE TIPS* - Reduce intake of red meat, and processed foods - Increase intake of foods rich in omega 3 fatty acids, fruits and vegetables - Engage in regular exercise - Use heap pads to relieve the cramps and tension - Engage in pelvic floor exercises - Practice being mindful and present. *WHAT DOES ENDOMETRIOSES FEEL LIKE?* It feels like: - Sharp, deep and consistent pain (Like your womb is being twisted with a knife) - Heavy irregular and messy periods (With severe nausea, vomiting and diarrhea) - Fatigue and exhaustion (Constant tiredness and feeling drained) - Bloating, constipation or diarrhea. If you experience these symptoms, please see a gynecologist. *FAQs* Can you get pregnant with endometriosis? Yes you can, however it might be difficult. Can it come back after treatment? Yes. Symptoms may return especially if treatment is stopped. Endometriosis is a chronic condition, it can only be managed. Can pregnancy cure endometriosis? Pregnancy may relieve symptoms temporarily, but it doesn’t cure it. Endometriosis is not just “painful periods.” It’s a life-disrupting condition that deserves attention, and care. If you or someone you know is struggling with unexplained pelvic pain, fatigue, or infertility, don’t ignore it. Early diagnosis and intervention can change lives.
