    Uhmm please before you break her heart... Ever heard of the Broken Heart Syndrome? Join the informative read 👇 It is important to note that men and women are incredibly distinct in anatomy (structure) and physiology (function). Many people just focus only on the differences in their reproductive makeup. But there are others such as the heart, lungs, brain, muscles, etc. When your heart beats, the contractions pump blood through the heart and to all part of the body. Unlike the men, the women's heart usually must beat faster to pump the same amount of blood since it's relatively smaller in size. Considering the structure and size of the female heart, it's imperative to uphold heart health as we do for reproductive health, mental health, amongst others. Without consulting a doctor, women might mistake heart disease for other conditions. While men typically experience a severe, crushing chest pain, women often have subtler symptoms like brief upper abdomen or back pain, nausea, shortness of breath, and night sweats. 🔴 The risk of cardiovascular disease for women significantly increases after menopause. Women are also more prone to experiencing heart palpitations. However, A family history of heart disease is a crucial factor for both genders when diagnosing or managing a potential case. 🔴 Statistically, men are diagnosed with heart disease about 10 years earlier than women. This disparity may be because women's symptoms are less recognizable and because women tend to delay seeking medical care. Most importantly, women must take note of their reproductive history as often times, some cases could be predisposing factors to certain heart diseases. Cases such PCOS, Endometriosis, Pre-eclasmpsia, Gestational Diabetes, etc (We will revisit these topics in later discussions). Haha 🤣 , still waiting on the Broken Heart Syndrome right? Yes it is very REAL. it can mimic a heart attack or heart disease. A study by Dr. Amy Sarma defines Broken heart syndrome, or Takotsubo cardiomyopathy, as the development of temporary weakening of the heart muscle following either a very positive or very negative emotional or physically stressful event,”. On this note, please I advise everyone to keep their hearts safe out there. 😂 Also check the comment section for how your period or pregnancy can affect your heart rate. Additional links are also included below for your own study 🤗 Hi there! Seeing my post for the first time? I'm Emmanuella Yaa A.

    Hi there! Rest your loins this weekend (if this applies to you)😌. In anticipation of the #WorldMenstrualHealthDay markedly 28th May(just next week), just thought to share a little something-something on the topic. Menstruation 🩸 is a natural part of life, yet often shrouded in silence and stigma. We all know every month, women around the world experience the ebbs and flows of their menstrual cycle, but for many, it's a journey fraught with challenges. ✍🏽Let's start with the basics. Menstruation is the shedding of the uterine lining, a preparation for a potential pregnancy. But when this natural process goes awry, a host of issues can arise. 📌One of the most common menstrual health issues is Dysmenorrhea - painful periods. Cramping, heavy bleeding, and discomfort can make everyday activities a struggle. It's not just a minor inconvenience; it's a sign that something is amiss. Now, let's delve into some clinical conditions associated with menstruation: 1. Menorrhagia - heavy and prolonged bleeding that can lead to anemia and fatigue. 2. Amenorrhea - the absence of periods (missing 3 consecutive months or more), which can be a sign of underlying hormonal imbalances or other conditions. 3. Adenomyosis - a condition where tissue similar to the uterine lining grows into the muscle of the uterus, leading to heavy bleeding and pain. 4. Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD) - a severe form of PMS that can cause debilitating symptoms like depression, anxiety, and mood swings. 5. Ovarian Cysts - fluid-filled sacs on the ovaries that can cause pain, bloating, and discomfort. 6. Uterine Prolapse - a condition where the uterus drops into the vagina, leading to discomfort, incontinence, and painful sex. 7. Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS) - a rare but life-threatening condition caused by bacterial infections, often associated with tampon use. 🛑Embracing the intricacies of menstruation helps relieve the mental and physical burden on young girls and women. 🛑It’s imperative to visit the hospital if you experience any unusual symptoms. This coming week should be full of Tender Loving Care(TLC). Spend on your ladies! Cheers🥂😍🤗 #menstrualhealth #sexualreproductivehealthandrights #globalhealthphysician #womanhood #pubertyonbudget

  • It’s been a long month and we cannot do without touching on the essence of this month - Mental Health.🧠💡 However, let’s be mindful, it is a journey of intentionality. The willingness to uphold one’s wellbeing and peace of mind in every field of life. “Mental health…is not a destination, but a process. It's about how you drive, not where you're going." ~ Noam Shpancer This quote underscores that maintaining mental health is an ongoing journey rather than a final goal, focusing on continuous effort and self-awareness.✨ #mentalhealthawarness #selfcare #wellbeing #rohilegacyfoundation

    How did you feel in your “Sweet 16”? Wait… Uhmm how old are you now?🌚 Well, I’ve been in thoughts… Processing how differently we all might have embraced the so called “adulthood”. Puberty's sudden arrival can be overwhelming, bringing unfamiliar emotions, physical changes, and societal expectations.🤷🏻♀️ As we navigate this tumultuous transition, we face significant health and socio-economic expenses, including new hygiene routines, clothing, and healthcare. Mental well-being is also impacted, with mood swings, body shaming, and self-doubt becoming unwelcome companions.😣 Amidst the chaos, we discover resilience, adaptability, and growth. It's crucial to acknowledge the challenges and celebrate triumphs, especially regarding sexual reproductive health and rights.🫶🏼 Goodnews?😃 I’ll soon begin a series touching on every aspect of puberty. Puberty goes beyond health. As such, this series will touch on the known and unknown transitions, even how we’ve lived through our bodies, minds and emotions unknowingly✍🏽 Let's embrace this journey with courage, grace, and an open heart, recognizing the importance of comprehensive education, access to healthcare, and autonomy over our bodies. By doing so, we can foster a supportive environment for young individuals to thrive in good health and overall standard of living. ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• I once said, who wouldn’t love a healthy gossip?🤗😙, we’ll talk real soon. Have a Happy new week!❤️ #globalhealthphysician #sexualreproductivehealthandrights #mentalhealth #chaoticpuberty #linkedinfam
