TIPS TO PREVENT BACK PAIN AND SCIATICA FOR MOTHERS WITH YOUNG CHILDREN

The one thing mothers of babies and toddlers do more than just about anyone else is bend - to lift baby into the car or put them on their hip, or to tidy up toys or just picking up baby for a cuddle.
Bending can create a greater stress on the spine than almost any other movement - so it's important to do it right. Squat down rather than bend to pick things off the floor - including your child. Use the muscles in your legs and arms to lift - they're stronger than those in the back.
Other tips to reduce strain when bending:
Kneel down by the bath when bathing children.
Always lower the side of the cot when attending to a child.
Make sure the baby's changing mat is on a surface that is at the right height to prevent overstretching the back muscles. It's only natural to act quickly in response to a crying or bored child. But moving rapidly to prevent tears can mean creating hazardous demands on your back - such as those resulting from twisting, overstretching, or lifting loads badly - which will slow you down in the long run.

TAKING ESTROGEN

With the onset of menopause, many women suffer from hot flashes and night sweats. Arlene March, 56, a Los Angeles psychotherapist, says she started getting hot flashes 5 years ago. “I’d be working,” she recalls, “and suddenly feel intense heat all over my body. I’d break out in a sweat. I’d have to stop work. Then Dr. Mishell prescribed estrogen pills, and I’ve not had a day of discomfort.”
Some women experience a drying and thinning of vaginal tissues in the absence of estrogen, making sex painful. They also might suffer urinary tract infections and incontinence. Estrogen therapy often helps.
Among the physicians consulted, the most cautious was Dr. Morris Notelovitz, founder of the nation’s first Menopause Center, at the University of Florida, and head of the Women’s Medical and Diagnostic Center in Gainesville, Florida. He says each symptom needs a different treatment and advises that genital tract problems be given estrogen treatment for a couple of years at most. He also urges special measurements of the bones before prescribing estrogen therapy for osteoporosis.

ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION SYMPTOMS

Most patients have a combination of two or more of these problems. They are usually first given a thorough medical history and examination to determine the extent of the prob­lem and to hopefully pinpoint a cause. I want to briefly outline the nature of these four symptoms so that your problem will make more sense to you as a patient if you are experiencing any of them.

PRESCRIBED DRUGS

Taking prescribed medications with most vitamins is safe as is taking herbal complexes that are available through health food stores. However, you should always check with your doctor, your pharmacist or your naturopath. They are all trained to know what can go with what.

Weight loss

Overweight is most commonly a result of overeating and lack of exercise. Overweight and fluid retention often go together with people who have glandular problems or under-active thyroids. In such cases an iodine and phosporous deficiency may be the cause.
