🔍 Did you know that a rare pregnancy complication is the breast enlargement so extreme it disrupts daily life? 🤰 Meet gestational gigantomastia (GG)—a condition where excessive breast enlargement during pregnancy leads to severe discomfort, including back pain, sleep disturbances, and difficulty with daily activities. A recent case from McGill University highlights how an innovative surgical approach, combining the Goldilocks technique with free nipple grafting, successfully treated a 29-year-old pregnant woman suffering from severe GG. 🔬 In this groundbreaking case, the patient underwent bilateral skin-sparing mastectomy and immediate reconstruction, resulting in significant functional and aesthetic improvements. The Goldilocks technique reduced the risk of complications and provided a foundation for potential future breast enhancements. 💡 While hormonal therapies have been used in managing GG, surgery is often required in severe cases, especially when complications like skin ulceration arise. This case demonstrates how modern reconstructive techniques can provide life-changing outcomes for patients experiencing this rare and challenging condition. 🔗 [Explore the full study and learn more about this innovative approach: https://lnkd.in/dEGRyhiW] #GestationalGigantomastia #BreastSurgery #GoldilocksTechnique #SurgicalInnovation #MaternalHealth #BreastReconstruction #PlasticSurgery #McGillUniversity #HealthCareAdvancements #WomenHealth #CaseReport #ArchiveofClinicalCases

Pelvic floor dysfunction may have many different presentations which can include urinary and faecal incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse. The muscles of the pelvic floor can also become tight and tense and this overactivity can result in pelvic pain and conditions such as dyspareunia and vulvadynia. Factors that can contribute to pelvic floor dysfunction include obesity, pregnancy and delivery, menopause, heavy lifting / manual work, poor posture, constipation and pelvic surgery.

Spina Bifida is a neural tube defect that occurs when the spine and spinal cord do not form properly during early pregnancy. It can range from mild to severe, depending on the size and location of the spinal opening. There are several types of Spina Bifida, with the most common being Spina Bifida Occulta (mild) and Myelomeningocele (severe). The severity depends on how much of the spinal cord is exposed. While there is no cure, treatment includes surgery, physical therapy, and support services that improve mobility, independence, and overall quality of life. #TogetherWeFindAWay #PatriotHomeCare #CareRingHealth #SpinaBifidaAwareness #SpinaBifida #SpinaBifidaStrong #SpinaBifidaWarrior #SBAM (Spina Bifida Awareness Month) #ShineForSpinaBifida #SpinaBifidaSupport #RaiseAwareness #FolicAcidForLife #EndSpinaBifida
