So, a magnetic resonance image scan or an ordinary x-ray or a CAT scan looks at the body in a static way. </p> <p>What can they see inside the body in terms of bones, muscles, and other tissues but they don’t see the functionality of the body. And what the PET scan does is that you get a radioactive chemical and that radioactive chemical is absorbed into your body and it allows the scan to observe your body in action. So, it’s used commonly these days to look for cancer. So let’s say you’ve been treated for cancer and the x-ray still shows a lump. The question is, is that lump dead tissue from the cancer in a successful part of treatment, or is there still live cancer tissue there? And the PET scan will often tell you whether or not there’s actually cancer there because it lights up in the PET scan because it’s a functional scan. </p> <p>And for example, if you’ve got lung cancer, a PET scan is now standard procedure to see whether or not there’s tumour which can’t be seen by the x-ray which will determine whether or not you’ve got an operable cancer.</p> <h6 id="h-dr-norman-swan-physician-and-journalist"><strong><a href="https://www.tonicmedianetwork.com.au/about-us/our-team/dr-norman-swan-bio/">Dr Norman Swan, Physician and Journalist</a></strong></h6> ]]></content:encoded> <post-id xmlns="com-wordpress:feed-additions:1">61384</post-id> </item> <item> <title>Who can help if we’re not getting pregnant?</title> <link>https://www.mydr.com.au/virtushealth/who-can-help-if-were-not-getting-pregnant/</link> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Dr Julie Whitehead]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Tue, 11 May 2021 04:43:32 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[virtushealth]]></category> <category><![CDATA[babies]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Fertility]]></category> <category><![CDATA[infertility]]></category> <category><![CDATA[IVF pregnancy risks]]></category> <category><![CDATA[pregnancy]]></category> <category><![CDATA[PREGNANCY TEST]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.mydr.com.au/?p=61819</guid> <description><![CDATA[If you’re struggling to conceive, it may give you some hope to know that Australians have good access to fertility advice. ]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[ <p>If you’re struggling to conceive, it may give you some hope to know that Australians have good access to medical advice and assistance in relation to fertility. With 1 in 6 couples experiencing some difficulties when trying to fall pregnant, it helps to understand who you can turn to and how they are likely to approach your situation.</p> <p>As you consider your next step, the most important factor to take into account is <a href="https://www.mivf.com.au/about-fertility/female-reproductive-system/effect-of-age-on-fertility" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">a woman’s age</a>. As more women and couples delay parenthood until later in life, medical professionals recommend that if you are nearing your late 30’s or in your early 40’s, you should consider getting advice sooner rather than later.</p> <h2 id="h-first-talk-to-your-gp">First, talk to your GP</h2> <p>Each year, Australian GPs consult with almost 90% of the population. They are often the first point of contact for anyone wishing to conceive as they will carry out many of your pre-pregnancy screening tests, recommended three months before you start trying for a baby. These tests include ensuring your vaccinations and pap smear are up to date, and screening tests for infectious diseases.<br> <br>GPs also play an important role in the preliminary investigations if you’re struggling to get pregnant, and in particular, if you have been trying for over 12 months (or after just six months if you’re 35+). For example, your GP will typically make an initial assessment based on how long you’ve been trying to conceive, the length of your menstrual cycle, pregnancy history, determine ovulation and order a semen analysis for your partner. GPs may even recommend some <a href="https://www.mivf.com.au/about-fertility/how-to-get-pregnant/preparing-your-body-for-pregnancy" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">lifestyle changes</a>, such as dietary changes and exercising, in particular if your BMI exceeds the recommended range.<br> <br>If your GP determines that your situation warrants further investigation, they will suggest a referral to a specialist.</p> <h2 id="h-seeing-your-gynaecologist">Seeing your gynaecologist</h2> <p>By their 30’s many women have already seen a gynaecologist for a range of issues, so it’s natural that if you are experiencing a delay in conception, you may feel most comfortable talking to your gynaecologist about this.<br> <br>In relation to fertility, gynaecologists most commonly help with investigations and simple assisted reproductive treatments such as <a href="https://www.mivf.com.au/fertility-treatment/ovulation-induction-oi" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Ovulation Induction</a> (e.g. Clomid). However, if you have been trying unsuccessfully for over a year or for any of the more advanced assisted reproductive treatment options, a referral to a fertility specialist may be advised.</p> <h2 id="h-when-to-see-a-fertility-specialist">When to see a Fertility Specialist</h2> <p>A fertility specialist has specialist training in gynaecology and obstetrics followed by further study in reproductive endocrinology and infertility. This typically takes another three years of training, making them experts in understanding infertility and fertility treatments including IVF.<br> <br>Fertility specialists can offer a complete range of fertility tests and treatments – for both men and women. Your GP is likely to refer you to a fertility specialist for most fertility concerns including if there is no obvious reason for the delay in conception, if the female partner is in her mid-30’s or older, if the female partner has experienced a reproductive issue previously (such as <a href="https://www.mivf.com.au/about-fertility/female-reproductive-system/pcos-polycystic-ovarian-syndrome" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">PCOS</a> or <a href="https://www.mivf.com.au/about-fertility/female-reproductive-system/blocked-fallopian-tubes" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">blocked fallopian tubes</a>), and if there is a <a href="https://www.mivf.com.au/fertility-treatment/genetic-testing-pgd" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">genetic condition</a> in the family that you are wishing to avoid passing on.</p> <h2 id="h-what-to-expect-at-your-first-fertility-specialist-appointment">What to expect at your first fertility specialist appointment?</h2> <p>At your <a href="https://www.mivf.com.au/fertility-treatment/first-fertility-consultation" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">first appointment</a> with a fertility specialist, he or she will review your medical history, the results of any previous tests you’ve had done, and arrange more advanced investigations for you and your partner. It is helpful for both the female and male partners to attend this first appointment so that you can be assessed together, ask questions and both understand the options available.</p> <p>For women, extra tests may include a vaginal ultrasound, a test to check your fallopian tubes are not blocked (ultrasound assessment of tubal patency) or a laparoscopy to look for conditions such as endometriosis. For men, this will likely involve a semen analysis.</p> <p>Your fertility specialist will discuss the tests that are appropriate to your situation.</p> <h2 id="h-a-tailored-pathway-to-pregnancy">A tailored pathway to pregnancy</h2> <p>The results of all these tests will help guide your fertility specialist to develop a recommended plan of action. These options may range from <a href="https://www.mivf.com.au/fertility-treatment/ovulation-cycle-tracking" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">ovulation cycle tracking</a>, <a href="https://www.mivf.com.au/fertility-treatment/ovulation-induction-oi" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">ovulation induction</a> and <a href="https://www.mivf.com.au/fertility-treatment/artificial-insemination-iui" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">intrauterine insemination (IUI)</a> to <a href="https://www.mivf.com.au/fertility-treatment/ivf-treatment" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">IVF</a> and <a href="https://www.mivf.com.au/fertility-treatment/icsi-treatment" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">ICSI</a>. Most major fertility clinics can also provide access to <a href="https://www.mivf.com.au/fertility-treatment/genetic-testing-pgd/embryo-screening" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">pre-implantation genetic screening (PGS)</a> as well as comprehensive donor programs. Your fertility specialist will be able to co-ordinate the most appropriate treatment for you and you will see them regularly throughout your treatment.</p> <p>The important thing to remember is that your fertility specialist is best placed to provide you with answers and options, and support you on your path to parenthood.</p> <p><strong>Find out more:</strong><a href="https://www.qfg.com.au/fertility-specialists/fertility-doctors?utm_source=virtusblog&utm_medium=blog&utm_content=fs&utm_campaign=couples" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Fertility Specialists in QLD</a>, <a href="http://www.ivf.com.au/fertility-specialists/ivf-australia-doctors?utm_source=virtusblog&utm_medium=blog&utm_content=fs&utm_campaign=couples" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Fertility Specialists in NSW</a>, <a href="https://www.mivf.com.au/fertility-specialists/ivf-doctors?utm_source=virtusblog&utm_medium=blog&utm_content=fs&utm_campaign=couples" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Fertility Specialists in VIC</a>, <a href="https://www.tasivf.com.au/doctors-and-clinics/fertility-specialists?utm_source=virtusblog&utm_medium=blog&utm_content=fs&utm_campaign=couples" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Fertility Specialists in TAS</a>, <a href="https://www.virtusfertilitycentre.com.sg/our-fertility-team/fertility-doctors?utm_source=virtusblog&utm_medium=blog&utm_content=fs&utm_campaign=couples" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Fertility Specialists in Singapore</a></p> ]]></content:encoded> <post-id xmlns="com-wordpress:feed-additions:1">61819</post-id> </item> <item> <title>We need to talk about infertility</title> <link>https://www.mydr.com.au/virtushealth/we-need-to-talk-about-infertility/</link> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Dr Joseph Sgroi]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Tue, 11 May 2021 04:35:37 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[virtushealth]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Fertility]]></category> <category><![CDATA[infertility]]></category> <category><![CDATA[pregnancy]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.mydr.com.au/?p=61811</guid> <description><![CDATA[It’s time to ditch the stigma on something that affects one in six couples.

Yet with <a href="https://npesu.unsw.edu.au/sites/default/files/npesu/data_collection/Assisted%20reproductive%20technology%20in%20Australia%20and%20New%20Zealand%202014_0.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">70,000 IVF treatment cycles performed in Australia and New Zealand each year</a>, this perception is far from reality. So, why aren’t we talking about it? </p> <p>Melbourne-based obstetrician, gynaecologist and fertility specialist Dr Joseph Sgroi says it stems from our deep-rooted discomfort around talking about sex and intimacy. “We often feel fear and embarrassment when talking about things that should come quite naturally,” he says. “For a lot of couples anything to do with that whole spectrum – ectopic pregnancies and miscarriages for example – are sensitive topics that are not often discussed.”<br><br>Which is a shame, considering that with <a href="https://www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au/health/ConditionsAndTreatments/infertility-in-women" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">the odds of a fertile couple conceiving each month only one in five</a>, so many of us are in the same – often isolating – boat.</p> <h3 id="h-identifying-the-cause">Identifying the cause</h3> <p>The good news is that with <a href="https://www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au/health/ConditionsAndTreatments/infertility-in-women" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">so many different treatment options available, even with unexplained infertility, seeking out treatment is often the key to success when it comes to conception</a>. If you’re under 35, Dr Sgroi says it’s OK to wait 12 months before seeking the advice of a general practitioner or fertility specialist. However if you’re <a href="https://www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au/health/conditionsandtreatments/age-and-fertility" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">over the age of 35 – when a woman’s fertility experiences a significant decline</a> – it’s best not to leave it for more than six months. <br><br><a href="https://www.mivf.com.au/specialists/melbourne-ivf-doctors/dr-joseph-sgroi">Dr Sgroi</a> talks to his patients about six things that can impact fertility:</p> <ul><li>Sex: “It’s very common for people to not know when to have sex during the menstrual cycle. Having regular sex is particularly important – we recommend 3 times a week during the fertile part of the month.”</li><li>Sperm: “We like to take a look at the swimmers and make sure they’re indeed swimming; you need good numbers to fertilise the egg.”</li><li>A receptive uterus: “If the uterus has a structural abnormality – endometriosis or fibroids for example – it can impact a woman’s ability to carry a pregnancy.”</li><li>Ovulation: “Some women don’t ovulate regularly, such as women who might have PCOS [polycystic ovary syndrome].”</li><li>Open tubes: “If you’ve had things like chlamydia or sexually transmitted infections in the past – and your tubes are blocked – there is no chance of pregnancy, as the sperm can’t meet the egg!”</li><li>Patience: “I’ve had people come and see me after only two months of trying and I say, ‘It may take a little bit of time!’.”</li></ul> <h3 id="h-ivf-isn-t-always-the-answer">IVF isn’t always the answer</h3> <p>For a fertility specialist like Dr Sgroi, it’s about looking for clearly identifiable and reversible obstacles and treating them individually, with not all cases requiring the assistance of IVF technologies. “A lot of people come to a fertility or IVF doctor thinking that they’re going to do IVF,” explains Dr Sgroi. “But for a woman not ovulating it could be as simple as giving her a tablet to take as oral medication.”</p> <p><a href="https://www.ivf.com.au/treatments">Less-invasive assisted interventions like cycle tracking, better timed-sex, oral medications, ovulation scans and ovulation inductions may be offered before any attempt at an IVF cycle. “And for same sex-couples and single women, the only thing we may be doing is artificial insemination,” Sgroi adds. </a></p> <p>The most important thing to note?

It’s in the same family as the tetanus family. And in fact, the botulinum toxin is very similar to the tetanus toxin, in that it affects your muscles. </p> <p>But in the case of botulism, the muscles get paralysed. And that’s of course why it’s used in very small doses in <a href="https://www.mydr.com.au/skin-hair/botox-injections/">cosmetic procedures</a> to actually paralyse the muscles of the face to get rid of wrinkles and so on. But botulin itself is usually as a result of food poisoning that the Clostridium botulinum grows in food, you eat that food and you get food poisoning from the botulinum toxin and that causes muscle paralysis and often can cause death. So it’s very rare these days. </p> <p>There was a famous case in Scotland where I come from, where a boatload, a rowing boat with fishermen went out on a Loch in Scotland from the hotel and the hotel had made them up a picnic with patty and the patty was infected with Clostridium botulinum. They all got botulism and they all died on the boat and it floated back to shore.</p> <h6 id="h-dr-norman-swan-physician-and-journalist"><strong><a href="https://www.tonicmedianetwork.com.au/about-us/our-team/dr-norman-swan-bio/">Dr Norman Swan, Physician and Journalist</a></strong></h6> ]]></content:encoded> <post-id xmlns="com-wordpress:feed-additions:1">61399</post-id> </item> <item> <title>How Do You Treat Septicemia?

By taking your blood cultures doctors can identify what antibiotics will work best on your condition and provide a number of other medical procedures to ensure you are treated fully. </figcaption></figure> <p><a href="https://www.australiansepsisnetwork.net.au">The treatment of septicemia,</a> the core treatment, is antibiotics. And what you do is, you take blood cultures. In other words, you remove blood from the person and you culture it in the laboratory to see what bugs might be there and what antibiotics are best to treat the infection. </p> <p>But because septicemia can be so serious, you would institute, if you like, the best guess as to what the antibiotics are that you should use. So they use very strong antibiotics. Maybe in combination, maybe one or two antibiotics, to cover the broad spectrum of bugs that it could be, and hit you hard with that, usually intravenously, and then wait until the lab results come back. When the lab results come back, they may change the antibiotics that you need. </p> <p>If your <a href="https://www.mydr.com.au/heart-stroke/what-are-some-causes-of-low-blood-pressure/">blood pressure is low</a>, they may put up a drip. They may give you other drugs to lift your blood pressure. There’s all sorts of other things that you may need with septicemia to actually prevent very serious illness. And that’s usually done in an intensive care unit. </p> <p>But if you get onto it early, you can treat septicemia very effectively.</p> <h6 id="h-dr-norman-swan-physician-and-journalist"><strong><a href="https://www.tonicmedianetwork.com.au/about-us/our-team/dr-norman-swan-bio/">Dr Norman Swan, Physician and Journalist</a></strong></h6> ]]></content:encoded> <post-id xmlns="com-wordpress:feed-additions:1">61355</post-id> </item> <item> <title>Should I Circumcise my Baby?

And, you know, one, isn’t quite sure where it started from. </p> <p>It was often probably to identify yourself as part of that religious group. Sometimes it was part of a religious initiation because in some parts of the world it doesn’t happen until your child, a male child is an adolescent or an older child. Sometimes it’s not a proper circumcision. Sometimes it’s a cut underneath the penis and and there’s no known medical reason why. The question is why did it evolve beyond a religious tradition, and is there any medical or health benefits from having a circumcision? Well, the evidence from Africa during the AIDS pandemic, in fact, AIDS is still around is that in groups which circumcise their children they had far lower rates of HIV transmission. So losing the four skin does seem to reduce the transmission rates of venereal disease, sexually transmissible diseases. </p> <p>The other reason for doing circumcision is that you can get Phimosis, which is a constriction of the forced skin over the head of the penis. And that can be very uncomfortable and can limit the ability to pass water. And in that case you needed a circumcision to relieve that. But apart from that, there’s no good medical reason why you would do a circumcision on a child.</p> <h6 id="h-dr-norman-swan-physician-and-journalist"><strong><a href="https://www.tonicmedianetwork.com.au/about-us/our-team/dr-norman-swan-bio/">Dr Norman Swan, Physician and Journalist</a></strong></h6> <p></p> ]]></content:encoded> <post-id xmlns="com-wordpress:feed-additions:1">61379</post-id> </item> <item> <title>How Do You Treat an Inguinal Hernia?

However if you have blood in your diarrhoea also if a child is vomiting and not keeping their fluids down it is important to go and see a doctor urgently.</figcaption></figure> <p><a href="https://www.mydr.com.au/gastrointestinal-health/diarrhoea/">The treatment of diarrhoea</a> depends on the sort of diarrhoea that you have. And particularly if you have diarrhoea with blood in it you really wanna check it out with your doctor and make sure that you don’t have something called Shigella, which can really make you quite sick. </p> <p><a href="https://www.healthdirect.gov.au/diarrhoea">But the most treatments for diarrhoea involve fluid replacement</a>. So it’s very unusual. It’s very rare in Australia to have anybody with cholera but cholera does occur in low income countries. And the treatment of that is high amounts of fluids very, very quickly so that people don’t die of dehydration. But most diarrhoea occur, is not as severe, is nowhere near as severe. But most diarrhoea that you would experience in Australia, it’s nowhere near as severe as cholera and requires fluid replacement. And that fluid replacement is with oral electrolyte solution that you can buy in the chemist. But if you’re vomiting and not keeping that down and become dehydrated, or if a child is becoming the mouth is dry, their breath is smelling. Then you really do need to go into the emergency department to get that checked out, in case the child needs a drip but with good oral electrolyte solution very early on, it’s very unusual these days for a child to get dehydrated. </p> <p>They’ll get through it and even if they’re vomiting they’ll usually keep enough time. There is a question mark over whether or not a breastfed baby with diarrhoea should continue to be breastfed and most people believe that they should.</p> <h6 id="h-dr-norman-swan-physician-and-journalist"><strong><a href="https://www.tonicmedianetwork.com.au/about-us/our-team/dr-norman-swan-bio/">Dr Norman Swan, Physician and Journalist</a></strong></h6> ]]></content:encoded> <post-id xmlns="com-wordpress:feed-additions:1">61387</post-id> </item> <item> <title>Beef and Broccoli Stir Fry</title> <link>https://www.mydr.com.au/recipes/beef-and-broccoli-stir-fry/</link> <dc:creator><![CDATA[myDr]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Thu, 06 May 2021 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Mains]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Recipes - For the whole family!]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Asian]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Beef and Broccoli Stir Fry]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Healthy easy meal]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Stir fry]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.mydr.com.au/?p=61336</guid> <description><![CDATA[This is a classic dish that is easy to prepare and will be loved by the whole family.

So, a magnetic resonance image scan or an ordinary x-ray or a CAT scan looks at the body in a static way. </p> <p>What can they see inside the body in terms of bones, muscles, and other tissues but they don’t see the functionality of the body. And what the PET scan does is that you get a radioactive chemical and that radioactive chemical is absorbed into your body and it allows the scan to observe your body in action. So, it’s used commonly these days to look for cancer. So let’s say you’ve been treated for cancer and the x-ray still shows a lump. The question is, is that lump dead tissue from the cancer in a successful part of treatment, or is there still live cancer tissue there? And the PET scan will often tell you whether or not there’s actually cancer there because it lights up in the PET scan because it’s a functional scan. </p> <p>And for example, if you’ve got lung cancer, a PET scan is now standard procedure to see whether or not there’s tumour which can’t be seen by the x-ray which will determine whether or not you’ve got an operable cancer.</p> <h6 id="h-dr-norman-swan-physician-and-journalist"><strong><a href="https://www.tonicmedianetwork.com.au/about-us/our-team/dr-norman-swan-bio/">Dr Norman Swan, Physician and Journalist</a></strong></h6> ]]></content:encoded> <post-id xmlns="com-wordpress:feed-additions:1">61384</post-id> </item> <item> <title>Who can help if we’re not getting pregnant?</title> <link>https://www.mydr.com.au/virtushealth/who-can-help-if-were-not-getting-pregnant/</link> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Dr Julie Whitehead]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Tue, 11 May 2021 04:43:32 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[virtushealth]]></category> <category><![CDATA[babies]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Fertility]]></category> <category><![CDATA[infertility]]></category> <category><![CDATA[IVF pregnancy risks]]></category> <category><![CDATA[pregnancy]]></category> <category><![CDATA[PREGNANCY TEST]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.mydr.com.au/?p=61819</guid> <description><![CDATA[If you’re struggling to conceive, it may give you some hope to know that Australians have good access to fertility advice. ]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[ <p>If you’re struggling to conceive, it may give you some hope to know that Australians have good access to medical advice and assistance in relation to fertility. With 1 in 6 couples experiencing some difficulties when trying to fall pregnant, it helps to understand who you can turn to and how they are likely to approach your situation.</p> <p>As you consider your next step, the most important factor to take into account is <a href="https://www.mivf.com.au/about-fertility/female-reproductive-system/effect-of-age-on-fertility" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">a woman’s age</a>. As more women and couples delay parenthood until later in life, medical professionals recommend that if you are nearing your late 30’s or in your early 40’s, you should consider getting advice sooner rather than later.</p> <h2 id="h-first-talk-to-your-gp">First, talk to your GP</h2> <p>Each year, Australian GPs consult with almost 90% of the population. They are often the first point of contact for anyone wishing to conceive as they will carry out many of your pre-pregnancy screening tests, recommended three months before you start trying for a baby. These tests include ensuring your vaccinations and pap smear are up to date, and screening tests for infectious diseases.<br> <br>GPs also play an important role in the preliminary investigations if you’re struggling to get pregnant, and in particular, if you have been trying for over 12 months (or after just six months if you’re 35+). For example, your GP will typically make an initial assessment based on how long you’ve been trying to conceive, the length of your menstrual cycle, pregnancy history, determine ovulation and order a semen analysis for your partner. GPs may even recommend some <a href="https://www.mivf.com.au/about-fertility/how-to-get-pregnant/preparing-your-body-for-pregnancy" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">lifestyle changes</a>, such as dietary changes and exercising, in particular if your BMI exceeds the recommended range.<br> <br>If your GP determines that your situation warrants further investigation, they will suggest a referral to a specialist.</p> <h2 id="h-seeing-your-gynaecologist">Seeing your gynaecologist</h2> <p>By their 30’s many women have already seen a gynaecologist for a range of issues, so it’s natural that if you are experiencing a delay in conception, you may feel most comfortable talking to your gynaecologist about this.<br> <br>In relation to fertility, gynaecologists most commonly help with investigations and simple assisted reproductive treatments such as <a href="https://www.mivf.com.au/fertility-treatment/ovulation-induction-oi" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Ovulation Induction</a> (e.g. Clomid). However, if you have been trying unsuccessfully for over a year or for any of the more advanced assisted reproductive treatment options, a referral to a fertility specialist may be advised.</p> <h2 id="h-when-to-see-a-fertility-specialist">When to see a Fertility Specialist</h2> <p>A fertility specialist has specialist training in gynaecology and obstetrics followed by further study in reproductive endocrinology and infertility. This typically takes another three years of training, making them experts in understanding infertility and fertility treatments including IVF.<br> <br>Fertility specialists can offer a complete range of fertility tests and treatments – for both men and women. Your GP is likely to refer you to a fertility specialist for most fertility concerns including if there is no obvious reason for the delay in conception, if the female partner is in her mid-30’s or older, if the female partner has experienced a reproductive issue previously (such as <a href="https://www.mivf.com.au/about-fertility/female-reproductive-system/pcos-polycystic-ovarian-syndrome" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">PCOS</a> or <a href="https://www.mivf.com.au/about-fertility/female-reproductive-system/blocked-fallopian-tubes" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">blocked fallopian tubes</a>), and if there is a <a href="https://www.mivf.com.au/fertility-treatment/genetic-testing-pgd" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">genetic condition</a> in the family that you are wishing to avoid passing on.</p> <h2 id="h-what-to-expect-at-your-first-fertility-specialist-appointment">What to expect at your first fertility specialist appointment?</h2> <p>At your <a href="https://www.mivf.com.au/fertility-treatment/first-fertility-consultation" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">first appointment</a> with a fertility specialist, he or she will review your medical history, the results of any previous tests you’ve had done, and arrange more advanced investigations for you and your partner. It is helpful for both the female and male partners to attend this first appointment so that you can be assessed together, ask questions and both understand the options available.</p> <p>For women, extra tests may include a vaginal ultrasound, a test to check your fallopian tubes are not blocked (ultrasound assessment of tubal patency) or a laparoscopy to look for conditions such as endometriosis. For men, this will likely involve a semen analysis.</p> <p>Your fertility specialist will discuss the tests that are appropriate to your situation.</p> <h2 id="h-a-tailored-pathway-to-pregnancy">A tailored pathway to pregnancy</h2> <p>The results of all these tests will help guide your fertility specialist to develop a recommended plan of action. These options may range from <a href="https://www.mivf.com.au/fertility-treatment/ovulation-cycle-tracking" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">ovulation cycle tracking</a>, <a href="https://www.mivf.com.au/fertility-treatment/ovulation-induction-oi" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">ovulation induction</a> and <a href="https://www.mivf.com.au/fertility-treatment/artificial-insemination-iui" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">intrauterine insemination (IUI)</a> to <a href="https://www.mivf.com.au/fertility-treatment/ivf-treatment" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">IVF</a> and <a href="https://www.mivf.com.au/fertility-treatment/icsi-treatment" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">ICSI</a>.

Yet with <a href="https://npesu.unsw.edu.au/sites/default/files/npesu/data_collection/Assisted%20reproductive%20technology%20in%20Australia%20and%20New%20Zealand%202014_0.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">70,000 IVF treatment cycles performed in Australia and New Zealand each year</a>, this perception is far from reality. So, why aren’t we talking about it? </p> <p>Melbourne-based obstetrician, gynaecologist and fertility specialist Dr Joseph Sgroi says it stems from our deep-rooted discomfort around talking about sex and intimacy. “We often feel fear and embarrassment when talking about things that should come quite naturally,” he says. “For a lot of couples anything to do with that whole spectrum – ectopic pregnancies and miscarriages for example – are sensitive topics that are not often discussed.”<br><br>Which is a shame, considering that with <a href="https://www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au/health/ConditionsAndTreatments/infertility-in-women" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">the odds of a fertile couple conceiving each month only one in five</a>, so many of us are in the same – often isolating – boat.</p> <h3 id="h-identifying-the-cause">Identifying the cause</h3> <p>The good news is that with <a href="https://www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au/health/ConditionsAndTreatments/infertility-in-women" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">so many different treatment options available, even with unexplained infertility, seeking out treatment is often the key to success when it comes to conception</a>. If you’re under 35, Dr Sgroi says it’s OK to wait 12 months before seeking the advice of a general practitioner or fertility specialist. However if you’re <a href="https://www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au/health/conditionsandtreatments/age-and-fertility" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">over the age of 35 – when a woman’s fertility experiences a significant decline</a> – it’s best not to leave it for more than six months. <br><br><a href="https://www.mivf.com.au/specialists/melbourne-ivf-doctors/dr-joseph-sgroi">Dr Sgroi</a> talks to his patients about six things that can impact fertility:</p> <ul><li>Sex: “It’s very common for people to not know when to have sex during the menstrual cycle. Having regular sex is particularly important – we recommend 3 times a week during the fertile part of the month.”</li><li>Sperm: “We like to take a look at the swimmers and make sure they’re indeed swimming; you need good numbers to fertilise the egg.”</li><li>A receptive uterus: “If the uterus has a structural abnormality – endometriosis or fibroids for example – it can impact a woman’s ability to carry a pregnancy.”</li><li>Ovulation: “Some women don’t ovulate regularly, such as women who might have PCOS [polycystic ovary syndrome].”</li><li>Open tubes: “If you’ve had things like chlamydia or sexually transmitted infections in the past – and your tubes are blocked – there is no chance of pregnancy, as the sperm can’t meet the egg!”</li><li>Patience: “I’ve had people come and see me after only two months of trying and I say, ‘It may take a little bit of time!’.”</li></ul> <h3 id="h-ivf-isn-t-always-the-answer">IVF isn’t always the answer</h3> <p>For a fertility specialist like Dr Sgroi, it’s about looking for clearly identifiable and reversible obstacles and treating them individually, with not all cases requiring the assistance of IVF technologies. “A lot of people come to a fertility or IVF doctor thinking that they’re going to do IVF,” explains Dr Sgroi. “But for a woman not ovulating it could be as simple as giving her a tablet to take as oral medication.”</p> <p><a href="https://www.ivf.com.au/treatments">Less-invasive assisted interventions like cycle tracking, better timed-sex, oral medications, ovulation scans and ovulation inductions may be offered before any attempt at an IVF cycle. “And for same sex-couples and single women, the only thing we may be doing is artificial insemination,” Sgroi adds. </a></p> <p>The most important thing to note? Every fertility journey is different.

It’s in the same family as the tetanus family. And in fact, the botulinum toxin is very similar to the tetanus toxin, in that it affects your muscles. </p> <p>But in the case of botulism, the muscles get paralysed. And that’s of course why it’s used in very small doses in <a href="https://www.mydr.com.au/skin-hair/botox-injections/">cosmetic procedures</a> to actually paralyse the muscles of the face to get rid of wrinkles and so on. But botulin itself is usually as a result of food poisoning that the Clostridium botulinum grows in food, you eat that food and you get food poisoning from the botulinum toxin and that causes muscle paralysis and often can cause death. So it’s very rare these days. </p> <p>There was a famous case in Scotland where I come from, where a boatload, a rowing boat with fishermen went out on a Loch in Scotland from the hotel and the hotel had made them up a picnic with patty and the patty was infected with Clostridium botulinum. They all got botulism and they all died on the boat and it floated back to shore.</p> <h6 id="h-dr-norman-swan-physician-and-journalist"><strong><a href="https://www.tonicmedianetwork.com.au/about-us/our-team/dr-norman-swan-bio/">Dr Norman Swan, Physician and Journalist</a></strong></h6> ]]></content:encoded> <post-id xmlns="com-wordpress:feed-additions:1">61399</post-id> </item> <item> <title>How Do You Treat Septicemia?

And what you do is, you take blood cultures. In other words, you remove blood from the person and you culture it in the laboratory to see what bugs might be there and what antibiotics are best to treat the infection. </p> <p>But because septicemia can be so serious, you would institute, if you like, the best guess as to what the antibiotics are that you should use. So they use very strong antibiotics. Maybe in combination, maybe one or two antibiotics, to cover the broad spectrum of bugs that it could be, and hit you hard with that, usually intravenously, and then wait until the lab results come back. When the lab results come back, they may change the antibiotics that you need. </p> <p>If your <a href="https://www.mydr.com.au/heart-stroke/what-are-some-causes-of-low-blood-pressure/">blood pressure is low</a>, they may put up a drip. They may give you other drugs to lift your blood pressure. There’s all sorts of other things that you may need with septicemia to actually prevent very serious illness. And that’s usually done in an intensive care unit. </p> <p>But if you get onto it early, you can treat septicemia very effectively.</p> <h6 id="h-dr-norman-swan-physician-and-journalist"><strong><a href="https://www.tonicmedianetwork.com.au/about-us/our-team/dr-norman-swan-bio/">Dr Norman Swan, Physician and Journalist</a></strong></h6> ]]></content:encoded> <post-id xmlns="com-wordpress:feed-additions:1">61355</post-id> </item> <item> <title>Should I Circumcise my Baby?

And, you know, one, isn’t quite sure where it started from. </p> <p>It was often probably to identify yourself as part of that religious group. Sometimes it was part of a religious initiation because in some parts of the world it doesn’t happen until your child, a male child is an adolescent or an older child. Sometimes it’s not a proper circumcision. Sometimes it’s a cut underneath the penis and and there’s no known medical reason why. The question is why did it evolve beyond a religious tradition, and is there any medical or health benefits from having a circumcision? Well, the evidence from Africa during the AIDS pandemic, in fact, AIDS is still around is that in groups which circumcise their children they had far lower rates of HIV transmission. So losing the four skin does seem to reduce the transmission rates of venereal disease, sexually transmissible diseases. </p> <p>The other reason for doing circumcision is that you can get Phimosis, which is a constriction of the forced skin over the head of the penis. And that can be very uncomfortable and can limit the ability to pass water. And in that case you needed a circumcision to relieve that. But apart from that, there’s no good medical reason why you would do a circumcision on a child.</p> <h6 id="h-dr-norman-swan-physician-and-journalist"><strong><a href="https://www.tonicmedianetwork.com.au/about-us/our-team/dr-norman-swan-bio/">Dr Norman Swan, Physician and Journalist</a></strong></h6> <p></p> ]]></content:encoded> <post-id xmlns="com-wordpress:feed-additions:1">61379</post-id> </item> <item> <title>How Do You Treat an Inguinal Hernia?

However if you have blood in your diarrhoea also if a child is vomiting and not keeping their fluids down it is important to go and see a doctor urgently.</figcaption></figure> <p><a href="https://www.mydr.com.au/gastrointestinal-health/diarrhoea/">The treatment of diarrhoea</a> depends on the sort of diarrhoea that you have. And particularly if you have diarrhoea with blood in it you really wanna check it out with your doctor and make sure that you don’t have something called Shigella, which can really make you quite sick. </p> <p><a href="https://www.healthdirect.gov.au/diarrhoea">But the most treatments for diarrhoea involve fluid replacement</a>. So it’s very unusual. It’s very rare in Australia to have anybody with cholera but cholera does occur in low income countries. And the treatment of that is high amounts of fluids very, very quickly so that people don’t die of dehydration. But most diarrhoea occur, is not as severe, is nowhere near as severe. But most diarrhoea that you would experience in Australia, it’s nowhere near as severe as cholera and requires fluid replacement. And that fluid replacement is with oral electrolyte solution that you can buy in the chemist. But if you’re vomiting and not keeping that down and become dehydrated, or if a child is becoming the mouth is dry, their breath is smelling. Then you really do need to go into the emergency department to get that checked out, in case the child needs a drip but with good oral electrolyte solution very early on, it’s very unusual these days for a child to get dehydrated. </p> <p>They’ll get through it and even if they’re vomiting they’ll usually keep enough time. There is a question mark over whether or not a breastfed baby with diarrhoea should continue to be breastfed and most people believe that they should.</p> <h6 id="h-dr-norman-swan-physician-and-journalist"><strong><a href="https://www.tonicmedianetwork.com.au/about-us/our-team/dr-norman-swan-bio/">Dr Norman Swan, Physician and Journalist</a></strong></h6> ]]></content:encoded> <post-id xmlns="com-wordpress:feed-additions:1">61387</post-id> </item> <item> <title>Beef and Broccoli Stir Fry</title> <link>https://www.mydr.com.au/recipes/beef-and-broccoli-stir-fry/</link> <dc:creator><![CDATA[myDr]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Thu, 06 May 2021 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Mains]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Recipes - For the whole family!]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Asian]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Beef and Broccoli Stir Fry]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Healthy easy meal]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Stir fry]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.mydr.com.au/?p=61336</guid> <description><![CDATA[This is a classic dish that is easy to prepare and will be loved by the whole family.

But it also can get into your bloodstream and cause Septicemia so that you can get quite serious infections with E. Coli. There’s no way from the symptoms really that you would know that you had E.

So, a magnetic resonance image scan or an ordinary x-ray or a CAT scan looks at the body in a static way. </p> <p>What can they see inside the body in terms of bones, muscles, and other tissues but they don’t see the functionality of the body. And what the PET scan does is that you get a radioactive chemical and that radioactive chemical is absorbed into your body and it allows the scan to observe your body in action. So, it’s used commonly these days to look for cancer. So let’s say you’ve been treated for cancer and the x-ray still shows a lump. The question is, is that lump dead tissue from the cancer in a successful part of treatment, or is there still live cancer tissue there? And the PET scan will often tell you whether or not there’s actually cancer there because it lights up in the PET scan because it’s a functional scan. </p> <p>And for example, if you’ve got lung cancer, a PET scan is now standard procedure to see whether or not there’s tumour which can’t be seen by the x-ray which will determine whether or not you’ve got an operable cancer.</p> <h6 id="h-dr-norman-swan-physician-and-journalist"><strong><a href="https://www.tonicmedianetwork.com.au/about-us/our-team/dr-norman-swan-bio/">Dr Norman Swan, Physician and Journalist</a></strong></h6> ]]></content:encoded> <post-id xmlns="com-wordpress:feed-additions:1">61384</post-id> </item> <item> <title>Who can help if we’re not getting pregnant?</title> <link>https://www.mydr.com.au/virtushealth/who-can-help-if-were-not-getting-pregnant/</link> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Dr Julie Whitehead]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Tue, 11 May 2021 04:43:32 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[virtushealth]]></category> <category><![CDATA[babies]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Fertility]]></category> <category><![CDATA[infertility]]></category> <category><![CDATA[IVF pregnancy risks]]></category> <category><![CDATA[pregnancy]]></category> <category><![CDATA[PREGNANCY TEST]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.mydr.com.au/?p=61819</guid> <description><![CDATA[If you’re struggling to conceive, it may give you some hope to know that Australians have good access to fertility advice. ]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[ <p>If you’re struggling to conceive, it may give you some hope to know that Australians have good access to medical advice and assistance in relation to fertility. With 1 in 6 couples experiencing some difficulties when trying to fall pregnant, it helps to understand who you can turn to and how they are likely to approach your situation.</p> <p>As you consider your next step, the most important factor to take into account is <a href="https://www.mivf.com.au/about-fertility/female-reproductive-system/effect-of-age-on-fertility" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">a woman’s age</a>. As more women and couples delay parenthood until later in life, medical professionals recommend that if you are nearing your late 30’s or in your early 40’s, you should consider getting advice sooner rather than later.</p> <h2 id="h-first-talk-to-your-gp">First, talk to your GP</h2> <p>Each year, Australian GPs consult with almost 90% of the population. They are often the first point of contact for anyone wishing to conceive as they will carry out many of your pre-pregnancy screening tests, recommended three months before you start trying for a baby. These tests include ensuring your vaccinations and pap smear are up to date, and screening tests for infectious diseases.<br> <br>GPs also play an important role in the preliminary investigations if you’re struggling to get pregnant, and in particular, if you have been trying for over 12 months (or after just six months if you’re 35+). For example, your GP will typically make an initial assessment based on how long you’ve been trying to conceive, the length of your menstrual cycle, pregnancy history, determine ovulation and order a semen analysis for your partner. GPs may even recommend some <a href="https://www.mivf.com.au/about-fertility/how-to-get-pregnant/preparing-your-body-for-pregnancy" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">lifestyle changes</a>, such as dietary changes and exercising, in particular if your BMI exceeds the recommended range.<br> <br>If your GP determines that your situation warrants further investigation, they will suggest a referral to a specialist.</p> <h2 id="h-seeing-your-gynaecologist">Seeing your gynaecologist</h2> <p>By their 30’s many women have already seen a gynaecologist for a range of issues, so it’s natural that if you are experiencing a delay in conception, you may feel most comfortable talking to your gynaecologist about this.<br> <br>In relation to fertility, gynaecologists most commonly help with investigations and simple assisted reproductive treatments such as <a href="https://www.mivf.com.au/fertility-treatment/ovulation-induction-oi" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Ovulation Induction</a> (e.g. Clomid). However, if you have been trying unsuccessfully for over a year or for any of the more advanced assisted reproductive treatment options, a referral to a fertility specialist may be advised.</p> <h2 id="h-when-to-see-a-fertility-specialist">When to see a Fertility Specialist</h2> <p>A fertility specialist has specialist training in gynaecology and obstetrics followed by further study in reproductive endocrinology and infertility. This typically takes another three years of training, making them experts in understanding infertility and fertility treatments including IVF.<br> <br>Fertility specialists can offer a complete range of fertility tests and treatments – for both men and women. Your GP is likely to refer you to a fertility specialist for most fertility concerns including if there is no obvious reason for the delay in conception, if the female partner is in her mid-30’s or older, if the female partner has experienced a reproductive issue previously (such as <a href="https://www.mivf.com.au/about-fertility/female-reproductive-system/pcos-polycystic-ovarian-syndrome" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">PCOS</a> or <a href="https://www.mivf.com.au/about-fertility/female-reproductive-system/blocked-fallopian-tubes" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">blocked fallopian tubes</a>), and if there is a <a href="https://www.mivf.com.au/fertility-treatment/genetic-testing-pgd" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">genetic condition</a> in the family that you are wishing to avoid passing on.</p> <h2 id="h-what-to-expect-at-your-first-fertility-specialist-appointment">What to expect at your first fertility specialist appointment?</h2> <p>At your <a href="https://www.mivf.com.au/fertility-treatment/first-fertility-consultation" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">first appointment</a> with a fertility specialist, he or she will review your medical history, the results of any previous tests you’ve had done, and arrange more advanced investigations for you and your partner. It is helpful for both the female and male partners to attend this first appointment so that you can be assessed together, ask questions and both understand the options available.</p> <p>For women, extra tests may include a vaginal ultrasound, a test to check your fallopian tubes are not blocked (ultrasound assessment of tubal patency) or a laparoscopy to look for conditions such as endometriosis. For men, this will likely involve a semen analysis.</p> <p>Your fertility specialist will discuss the tests that are appropriate to your situation.</p> <h2 id="h-a-tailored-pathway-to-pregnancy">A tailored pathway to pregnancy</h2> <p>The results of all these tests will help guide your fertility specialist to develop a recommended plan of action. These options may range from <a href="https://www.mivf.com.au/fertility-treatment/ovulation-cycle-tracking" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">ovulation cycle tracking</a>, <a href="https://www.mivf.com.au/fertility-treatment/ovulation-induction-oi" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">ovulation induction</a> and <a href="https://www.mivf.com.au/fertility-treatment/artificial-insemination-iui" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">intrauterine insemination (IUI)</a> to <a href="https://www.mivf.com.au/fertility-treatment/ivf-treatment" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">IVF</a> and <a href="https://www.mivf.com.au/fertility-treatment/icsi-treatment" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">ICSI</a>. Most major fertility clinics can also provide access to <a href="https://www.mivf.com.au/fertility-treatment/genetic-testing-pgd/embryo-screening" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">pre-implantation genetic screening (PGS)</a> as well as comprehensive donor programs. Your fertility specialist will be able to co-ordinate the most appropriate treatment for you and you will see them regularly throughout your treatment.</p> <p>The important thing to remember is that your fertility specialist is best placed to provide you with answers and options, and support you on your path to parenthood.</p> <p><strong>Find out more:</strong><a href="https://www.qfg.com.au/fertility-specialists/fertility-doctors?utm_source=virtusblog&utm_medium=blog&utm_content=fs&utm_campaign=couples" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Fertility Specialists in QLD</a>, <a href="http://www.ivf.com.au/fertility-specialists/ivf-australia-doctors?utm_source=virtusblog&utm_medium=blog&utm_content=fs&utm_campaign=couples" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Fertility Specialists in NSW</a>, <a href="https://www.mivf.com.au/fertility-specialists/ivf-doctors?utm_source=virtusblog&utm_medium=blog&utm_content=fs&utm_campaign=couples" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Fertility Specialists in VIC</a>, <a href="https://www.tasivf.com.au/doctors-and-clinics/fertility-specialists?utm_source=virtusblog&utm_medium=blog&utm_content=fs&utm_campaign=couples" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Fertility Specialists in TAS</a>, <a href="https://www.virtusfertilitycentre.com.sg/our-fertility-team/fertility-doctors?utm_source=virtusblog&utm_medium=blog&utm_content=fs&utm_campaign=couples" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Fertility Specialists in Singapore</a></p> ]]></content:encoded> <post-id xmlns="com-wordpress:feed-additions:1">61819</post-id> </item> <item> <title>We need to talk about infertility</title> <link>https://www.mydr.com.au/virtushealth/we-need-to-talk-about-infertility/</link> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Dr Joseph Sgroi]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Tue, 11 May 2021 04:35:37 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[virtushealth]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Fertility]]></category> <category><![CDATA[infertility]]></category> <category><![CDATA[pregnancy]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.mydr.com.au/?p=61811</guid> <description><![CDATA[It’s time to ditch the stigma on something that affects one in six couples.

So, why aren’t we talking about it? </p> <p>Melbourne-based obstetrician, gynaecologist and fertility specialist Dr Joseph Sgroi says it stems from our deep-rooted discomfort around talking about sex and intimacy. “We often feel fear and embarrassment when talking about things that should come quite naturally,” he says. “For a lot of couples anything to do with that whole spectrum – ectopic pregnancies and miscarriages for example – are sensitive topics that are not often discussed.”<br><br>Which is a shame, considering that with <a href="https://www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au/health/ConditionsAndTreatments/infertility-in-women" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">the odds of a fertile couple conceiving each month only one in five</a>, so many of us are in the same – often isolating – boat.</p> <h3 id="h-identifying-the-cause">Identifying the cause</h3> <p>The good news is that with <a href="https://www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au/health/ConditionsAndTreatments/infertility-in-women" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">so many different treatment options available, even with unexplained infertility, seeking out treatment is often the key to success when it comes to conception</a>. If you’re under 35, Dr Sgroi says it’s OK to wait 12 months before seeking the advice of a general practitioner or fertility specialist. However if you’re <a href="https://www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au/health/conditionsandtreatments/age-and-fertility" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">over the age of 35 – when a woman’s fertility experiences a significant decline</a> – it’s best not to leave it for more than six months. <br><br><a href="https://www.mivf.com.au/specialists/melbourne-ivf-doctors/dr-joseph-sgroi">Dr Sgroi</a> talks to his patients about six things that can impact fertility:</p> <ul><li>Sex: “It’s very common for people to not know when to have sex during the menstrual cycle. Having regular sex is particularly important – we recommend 3 times a week during the fertile part of the month.”</li><li>Sperm: “We like to take a look at the swimmers and make sure they’re indeed swimming; you need good numbers to fertilise the egg.”</li><li>A receptive uterus: “If the uterus has a structural abnormality – endometriosis or fibroids for example – it can impact a woman’s ability to carry a pregnancy.”</li><li>Ovulation: “Some women don’t ovulate regularly, such as women who might have PCOS [polycystic ovary syndrome].”</li><li>Open tubes: “If you’ve had things like chlamydia or sexually transmitted infections in the past – and your tubes are blocked – there is no chance of pregnancy, as the sperm can’t meet the egg!”</li><li>Patience: “I’ve had people come and see me after only two months of trying and I say, ‘It may take a little bit of time!’.”</li></ul> <h3 id="h-ivf-isn-t-always-the-answer">IVF isn’t always the answer</h3> <p>For a fertility specialist like Dr Sgroi, it’s about looking for clearly identifiable and reversible obstacles and treating them individually, with not all cases requiring the assistance of IVF technologies. “A lot of people come to a fertility or IVF doctor thinking that they’re going to do IVF,” explains Dr Sgroi. “But for a woman not ovulating it could be as simple as giving her a tablet to take as oral medication.”</p> <p><a href="https://www.ivf.com.au/treatments">Less-invasive assisted interventions like cycle tracking, better timed-sex, oral medications, ovulation scans and ovulation inductions may be offered before any attempt at an IVF cycle. “And for same sex-couples and single women, the only thing we may be doing is artificial insemination,” Sgroi adds. </a></p> <p>The most important thing to note? Every fertility journey is different.

It’s in the same family as the tetanus family. And in fact, the botulinum toxin is very similar to the tetanus toxin, in that it affects your muscles. </p> <p>But in the case of botulism, the muscles get paralysed. And that’s of course why it’s used in very small doses in <a href="https://www.mydr.com.au/skin-hair/botox-injections/">cosmetic procedures</a> to actually paralyse the muscles of the face to get rid of wrinkles and so on. But botulin itself is usually as a result of food poisoning that the Clostridium botulinum grows in food, you eat that food and you get food poisoning from the botulinum toxin and that causes muscle paralysis and often can cause death. So it’s very rare these days. </p> <p>There was a famous case in Scotland where I come from, where a boatload, a rowing boat with fishermen went out on a Loch in Scotland from the hotel and the hotel had made them up a picnic with patty and the patty was infected with Clostridium botulinum. They all got botulism and they all died on the boat and it floated back to shore.</p> <h6 id="h-dr-norman-swan-physician-and-journalist"><strong><a href="https://www.tonicmedianetwork.com.au/about-us/our-team/dr-norman-swan-bio/">Dr Norman Swan, Physician and Journalist</a></strong></h6> ]]></content:encoded> <post-id xmlns="com-wordpress:feed-additions:1">61399</post-id> </item> <item> <title>How Do You Treat Septicemia?

And what you do is, you take blood cultures. In other words, you remove blood from the person and you culture it in the laboratory to see what bugs might be there and what antibiotics are best to treat the infection. </p> <p>But because septicemia can be so serious, you would institute, if you like, the best guess as to what the antibiotics are that you should use. So they use very strong antibiotics. Maybe in combination, maybe one or two antibiotics, to cover the broad spectrum of bugs that it could be, and hit you hard with that, usually intravenously, and then wait until the lab results come back. When the lab results come back, they may change the antibiotics that you need. </p> <p>If your <a href="https://www.mydr.com.au/heart-stroke/what-are-some-causes-of-low-blood-pressure/">blood pressure is low</a>, they may put up a drip. They may give you other drugs to lift your blood pressure. There’s all sorts of other things that you may need with septicemia to actually prevent very serious illness. And that’s usually done in an intensive care unit. </p> <p>But if you get onto it early, you can treat septicemia very effectively.</p> <h6 id="h-dr-norman-swan-physician-and-journalist"><strong><a href="https://www.tonicmedianetwork.com.au/about-us/our-team/dr-norman-swan-bio/">Dr Norman Swan, Physician and Journalist</a></strong></h6> ]]></content:encoded> <post-id xmlns="com-wordpress:feed-additions:1">61355</post-id> </item> <item> <title>Should I Circumcise my Baby?

And, you know, one, isn’t quite sure where it started from. </p> <p>It was often probably to identify yourself as part of that religious group. Sometimes it was part of a religious initiation because in some parts of the world it doesn’t happen until your child, a male child is an adolescent or an older child. Sometimes it’s not a proper circumcision. Sometimes it’s a cut underneath the penis and and there’s no known medical reason why. The question is why did it evolve beyond a religious tradition, and is there any medical or health benefits from having a circumcision? Well, the evidence from Africa during the AIDS pandemic, in fact, AIDS is still around is that in groups which circumcise their children they had far lower rates of HIV transmission. So losing the four skin does seem to reduce the transmission rates of venereal disease, sexually transmissible diseases. </p> <p>The other reason for doing circumcision is that you can get Phimosis, which is a constriction of the forced skin over the head of the penis. And that can be very uncomfortable and can limit the ability to pass water. And in that case you needed a circumcision to relieve that. But apart from that, there’s no good medical reason why you would do a circumcision on a child.</p> <h6 id="h-dr-norman-swan-physician-and-journalist"><strong><a href="https://www.tonicmedianetwork.com.au/about-us/our-team/dr-norman-swan-bio/">Dr Norman Swan, Physician and Journalist</a></strong></h6> <p></p> ]]></content:encoded> <post-id xmlns="com-wordpress:feed-additions:1">61379</post-id> </item> <item> <title>How Do You Treat an Inguinal Hernia?

However if you have blood in your diarrhoea also if a child is vomiting and not keeping their fluids down it is important to go and see a doctor urgently.</figcaption></figure> <p><a href="https://www.mydr.com.au/gastrointestinal-health/diarrhoea/">The treatment of diarrhoea</a> depends on the sort of diarrhoea that you have. And particularly if you have diarrhoea with blood in it you really wanna check it out with your doctor and make sure that you don’t have something called Shigella, which can really make you quite sick. </p> <p><a href="https://www.healthdirect.gov.au/diarrhoea">But the most treatments for diarrhoea involve fluid replacement</a>. So it’s very unusual. It’s very rare in Australia to have anybody with cholera but cholera does occur in low income countries. And the treatment of that is high amounts of fluids very, very quickly so that people don’t die of dehydration. But most diarrhoea occur, is not as severe, is nowhere near as severe. But most diarrhoea that you would experience in Australia, it’s nowhere near as severe as cholera and requires fluid replacement. And that fluid replacement is with oral electrolyte solution that you can buy in the chemist. But if you’re vomiting and not keeping that down and become dehydrated, or if a child is becoming the mouth is dry, their breath is smelling. Then you really do need to go into the emergency department to get that checked out, in case the child needs a drip but with good oral electrolyte solution very early on, it’s very unusual these days for a child to get dehydrated. </p> <p>They’ll get through it and even if they’re vomiting they’ll usually keep enough time. There is a question mark over whether or not a breastfed baby with diarrhoea should continue to be breastfed and most people believe that they should.</p> <h6 id="h-dr-norman-swan-physician-and-journalist"><strong><a href="https://www.tonicmedianetwork.com.au/about-us/our-team/dr-norman-swan-bio/">Dr Norman Swan, Physician and Journalist</a></strong></h6> ]]></content:encoded> <post-id xmlns="com-wordpress:feed-additions:1">61387</post-id> </item> <item> <title>Beef and Broccoli Stir Fry</title> <link>https://www.mydr.com.au/recipes/beef-and-broccoli-stir-fry/</link> <dc:creator><![CDATA[myDr]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Thu, 06 May 2021 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Mains]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Recipes - For the whole family!]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Asian]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Beef and Broccoli Stir Fry]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Healthy easy meal]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Stir fry]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.mydr.com.au/?p=61336</guid> <description><![CDATA[This is a classic dish that is easy to prepare and will be loved by the whole family.

But it also can get into your bloodstream and cause Septicemia so that you can get quite serious infections with E. Coli. There’s no way from the symptoms really that you would know that you had E.

So, a magnetic resonance image scan or an ordinary x-ray or a CAT scan looks at the body in a static way. </p> <p>What can they see inside the body in terms of bones, muscles, and other tissues but they don’t see the functionality of the body. And what the PET scan does is that you get a radioactive chemical and that radioactive chemical is absorbed into your body and it allows the scan to observe your body in action. So, it’s used commonly these days to look for cancer. So let’s say you’ve been treated for cancer and the x-ray still shows a lump. The question is, is that lump dead tissue from the cancer in a successful part of treatment, or is there still live cancer tissue there? And the PET scan will often tell you whether or not there’s actually cancer there because it lights up in the PET scan because it’s a functional scan. </p> <p>And for example, if you’ve got lung cancer, a PET scan is now standard procedure to see whether or not there’s tumour which can’t be seen by the x-ray which will determine whether or not you’ve got an operable cancer.</p> <h6 id="h-dr-norman-swan-physician-and-journalist"><strong><a href="https://www.tonicmedianetwork.com.au/about-us/our-team/dr-norman-swan-bio/">Dr Norman Swan, Physician and Journalist</a></strong></h6> ]]></content:encoded> <post-id xmlns="com-wordpress:feed-additions:1">61384</post-id> </item> <item> <title>Who can help if we’re not getting pregnant?</title> <link>https://www.mydr.com.au/virtushealth/who-can-help-if-were-not-getting-pregnant/</link> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Dr Julie Whitehead]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Tue, 11 May 2021 04:43:32 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[virtushealth]]></category> <category><![CDATA[babies]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Fertility]]></category> <category><![CDATA[infertility]]></category> <category><![CDATA[IVF pregnancy risks]]></category> <category><![CDATA[pregnancy]]></category> <category><![CDATA[PREGNANCY TEST]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.mydr.com.au/?p=61819</guid> <description><![CDATA[If you’re struggling to conceive, it may give you some hope to know that Australians have good access to fertility advice. ]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[ <p>If you’re struggling to conceive, it may give you some hope to know that Australians have good access to medical advice and assistance in relation to fertility. With 1 in 6 couples experiencing some difficulties when trying to fall pregnant, it helps to understand who you can turn to and how they are likely to approach your situation.</p> <p>As you consider your next step, the most important factor to take into account is <a href="https://www.mivf.com.au/about-fertility/female-reproductive-system/effect-of-age-on-fertility" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">a woman’s age</a>. As more women and couples delay parenthood until later in life, medical professionals recommend that if you are nearing your late 30’s or in your early 40’s, you should consider getting advice sooner rather than later.</p> <h2 id="h-first-talk-to-your-gp">First, talk to your GP</h2> <p>Each year, Australian GPs consult with almost 90% of the population. They are often the first point of contact for anyone wishing to conceive as they will carry out many of your pre-pregnancy screening tests, recommended three months before you start trying for a baby. These tests include ensuring your vaccinations and pap smear are up to date, and screening tests for infectious diseases.<br> <br>GPs also play an important role in the preliminary investigations if you’re struggling to get pregnant, and in particular, if you have been trying for over 12 months (or after just six months if you’re 35+). For example, your GP will typically make an initial assessment based on how long you’ve been trying to conceive, the length of your menstrual cycle, pregnancy history, determine ovulation and order a semen analysis for your partner. GPs may even recommend some <a href="https://www.mivf.com.au/about-fertility/how-to-get-pregnant/preparing-your-body-for-pregnancy" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">lifestyle changes</a>, such as dietary changes and exercising, in particular if your BMI exceeds the recommended range.<br> <br>If your GP determines that your situation warrants further investigation, they will suggest a referral to a specialist.</p> <h2 id="h-seeing-your-gynaecologist">Seeing your gynaecologist</h2> <p>By their 30’s many women have already seen a gynaecologist for a range of issues, so it’s natural that if you are experiencing a delay in conception, you may feel most comfortable talking to your gynaecologist about this.<br> <br>In relation to fertility, gynaecologists most commonly help with investigations and simple assisted reproductive treatments such as <a href="https://www.mivf.com.au/fertility-treatment/ovulation-induction-oi" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Ovulation Induction</a> (e.g. Clomid). However, if you have been trying unsuccessfully for over a year or for any of the more advanced assisted reproductive treatment options, a referral to a fertility specialist may be advised.</p> <h2 id="h-when-to-see-a-fertility-specialist">When to see a Fertility Specialist</h2> <p>A fertility specialist has specialist training in gynaecology and obstetrics followed by further study in reproductive endocrinology and infertility. This typically takes another three years of training, making them experts in understanding infertility and fertility treatments including IVF.<br> <br>Fertility specialists can offer a complete range of fertility tests and treatments – for both men and women. Your GP is likely to refer you to a fertility specialist for most fertility concerns including if there is no obvious reason for the delay in conception, if the female partner is in her mid-30’s or older, if the female partner has experienced a reproductive issue previously (such as <a href="https://www.mivf.com.au/about-fertility/female-reproductive-system/pcos-polycystic-ovarian-syndrome" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">PCOS</a> or <a href="https://www.mivf.com.au/about-fertility/female-reproductive-system/blocked-fallopian-tubes" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">blocked fallopian tubes</a>), and if there is a <a href="https://www.mivf.com.au/fertility-treatment/genetic-testing-pgd" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">genetic condition</a> in the family that you are wishing to avoid passing on.</p> <h2 id="h-what-to-expect-at-your-first-fertility-specialist-appointment">What to expect at your first fertility specialist appointment?</h2> <p>At your <a href="https://www.mivf.com.au/fertility-treatment/first-fertility-consultation" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">first appointment</a> with a fertility specialist, he or she will review your medical history, the results of any previous tests you’ve had done, and arrange more advanced investigations for you and your partner. It is helpful for both the female and male partners to attend this first appointment so that you can be assessed together, ask questions and both understand the options available.</p> <p>For women, extra tests may include a vaginal ultrasound, a test to check your fallopian tubes are not blocked (ultrasound assessment of tubal patency) or a laparoscopy to look for conditions such as endometriosis. For men, this will likely involve a semen analysis.</p> <p>Your fertility specialist will discuss the tests that are appropriate to your situation.</p> <h2 id="h-a-tailored-pathway-to-pregnancy">A tailored pathway to pregnancy</h2> <p>The results of all these tests will help guide your fertility specialist to develop a recommended plan of action. These options may range from <a href="https://www.mivf.com.au/fertility-treatment/ovulation-cycle-tracking" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">ovulation cycle tracking</a>, <a href="https://www.mivf.com.au/fertility-treatment/ovulation-induction-oi" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">ovulation induction</a> and <a href="https://www.mivf.com.au/fertility-treatment/artificial-insemination-iui" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">intrauterine insemination (IUI)</a> to <a href="https://www.mivf.com.au/fertility-treatment/ivf-treatment" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">IVF</a> and <a href="https://www.mivf.com.au/fertility-treatment/icsi-treatment" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">ICSI</a>.

Yet with <a href="https://npesu.unsw.edu.au/sites/default/files/npesu/data_collection/Assisted%20reproductive%20technology%20in%20Australia%20and%20New%20Zealand%202014_0.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">70,000 IVF treatment cycles performed in Australia and New Zealand each year</a>, this perception is far from reality. So, why aren’t we talking about it? </p> <p>Melbourne-based obstetrician, gynaecologist and fertility specialist Dr Joseph Sgroi says it stems from our deep-rooted discomfort around talking about sex and intimacy. “We often feel fear and embarrassment when talking about things that should come quite naturally,” he says. “For a lot of couples anything to do with that whole spectrum – ectopic pregnancies and miscarriages for example – are sensitive topics that are not often discussed.”<br><br>Which is a shame, considering that with <a href="https://www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au/health/ConditionsAndTreatments/infertility-in-women" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">the odds of a fertile couple conceiving each month only one in five</a>, so many of us are in the same – often isolating – boat.</p> <h3 id="h-identifying-the-cause">Identifying the cause</h3> <p>The good news is that with <a href="https://www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au/health/ConditionsAndTreatments/infertility-in-women" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">so many different treatment options available, even with unexplained infertility, seeking out treatment is often the key to success when it comes to conception</a>. If you’re under 35, Dr Sgroi says it’s OK to wait 12 months before seeking the advice of a general practitioner or fertility specialist. However if you’re <a href="https://www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au/health/conditionsandtreatments/age-and-fertility" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">over the age of 35 – when a woman’s fertility experiences a significant decline</a> – it’s best not to leave it for more than six months. <br><br><a href="https://www.mivf.com.au/specialists/melbourne-ivf-doctors/dr-joseph-sgroi">Dr Sgroi</a> talks to his patients about six things that can impact fertility:</p> <ul><li>Sex: “It’s very common for people to not know when to have sex during the menstrual cycle. Having regular sex is particularly important – we recommend 3 times a week during the fertile part of the month.”</li><li>Sperm: “We like to take a look at the swimmers and make sure they’re indeed swimming; you need good numbers to fertilise the egg.”</li><li>A receptive uterus: “If the uterus has a structural abnormality – endometriosis or fibroids for example – it can impact a woman’s ability to carry a pregnancy.”</li><li>Ovulation: “Some women don’t ovulate regularly, such as women who might have PCOS [polycystic ovary syndrome].”</li><li>Open tubes: “If you’ve had things like chlamydia or sexually transmitted infections in the past – and your tubes are blocked – there is no chance of pregnancy, as the sperm can’t meet the egg!”</li><li>Patience: “I’ve had people come and see me after only two months of trying and I say, ‘It may take a little bit of time!’.”</li></ul> <h3 id="h-ivf-isn-t-always-the-answer">IVF isn’t always the answer</h3> <p>For a fertility specialist like Dr Sgroi, it’s about looking for clearly identifiable and reversible obstacles and treating them individually, with not all cases requiring the assistance of IVF technologies. “A lot of people come to a fertility or IVF doctor thinking that they’re going to do IVF,” explains Dr Sgroi. “But for a woman not ovulating it could be as simple as giving her a tablet to take as oral medication.”</p> <p><a href="https://www.ivf.com.au/treatments">Less-invasive assisted interventions like cycle tracking, better timed-sex, oral medications, ovulation scans and ovulation inductions may be offered before any attempt at an IVF cycle. “And for same sex-couples and single women, the only thing we may be doing is artificial insemination,” Sgroi adds. </a></p> <p>The most important thing to note? Every fertility journey is different. And remember – your Instagram feed isn’t real life. </p> <p><strong>References</strong></p> <p><a href="https://npesu.unsw.edu.au/sites/default/files/npesu/data_collection/Assisted%20reproductive%20technology%20in%20Australia%20and%20New%20Zealand%202014_0.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://npesu.unsw.edu.au/sites/default/files/npesu/data_collection/Assisted%20reproductive%20technology%20in%20Australia%20and%20New%20Zealand%202014_0.pdf</a> <a href="http://theconversation.com/women-now-have-clearer-statistics-on-whether-ivf-is-likely-to-work-81256" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">http://theconversation.com/women-now-have-clearer-statistics-on-whether-ivf-is-likely-to-work-81256</a>)</p> <p><a href="https://www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au/health/ConditionsAndTreatments/infertility-in-women">https://www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au/health/ConditionsAndTreatments/infertility-in-women</a></p> <p><a href="https://yourfertility.org.au/for-women/not-getting-pregnant/">https://yourfertility.org.au/for-women/not-getting-pregnant/</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.ivf.com.au/fertility-treatment">https://www.ivf.com.au/fertility-treatment</a></p> ]]></content:encoded> <post-id xmlns="com-wordpress:feed-additions:1">61811</post-id> </item> <item> <title>What is Botulism?

It’s in the same family as the tetanus family. And in fact, the botulinum toxin is very similar to the tetanus toxin, in that it affects your muscles. </p> <p>But in the case of botulism, the muscles get paralysed. And that’s of course why it’s used in very small doses in <a href="https://www.mydr.com.au/skin-hair/botox-injections/">cosmetic procedures</a> to actually paralyse the muscles of the face to get rid of wrinkles and so on. But botulin itself is usually as a result of food poisoning that the Clostridium botulinum grows in food, you eat that food and you get food poisoning from the botulinum toxin and that causes muscle paralysis and often can cause death. So it’s very rare these days. </p> <p>There was a famous case in Scotland where I come from, where a boatload, a rowing boat with fishermen went out on a Loch in Scotland from the hotel and the hotel had made them up a picnic with patty and the patty was infected with Clostridium botulinum. They all got botulism and they all died on the boat and it floated back to shore.</p> <h6 id="h-dr-norman-swan-physician-and-journalist"><strong><a href="https://www.tonicmedianetwork.com.au/about-us/our-team/dr-norman-swan-bio/">Dr Norman Swan, Physician and Journalist</a></strong></h6> ]]></content:encoded> <post-id xmlns="com-wordpress:feed-additions:1">61399</post-id> </item> <item> <title>How Do You Treat Septicemia?

And what you do is, you take blood cultures. In other words, you remove blood from the person and you culture it in the laboratory to see what bugs might be there and what antibiotics are best to treat the infection. </p> <p>But because septicemia can be so serious, you would institute, if you like, the best guess as to what the antibiotics are that you should use. So they use very strong antibiotics. Maybe in combination, maybe one or two antibiotics, to cover the broad spectrum of bugs that it could be, and hit you hard with that, usually intravenously, and then wait until the lab results come back. When the lab results come back, they may change the antibiotics that you need. </p> <p>If your <a href="https://www.mydr.com.au/heart-stroke/what-are-some-causes-of-low-blood-pressure/">blood pressure is low</a>, they may put up a drip. They may give you other drugs to lift your blood pressure. There’s all sorts of other things that you may need with septicemia to actually prevent very serious illness. And that’s usually done in an intensive care unit. </p> <p>But if you get onto it early, you can treat septicemia very effectively.</p> <h6 id="h-dr-norman-swan-physician-and-journalist"><strong><a href="https://www.tonicmedianetwork.com.au/about-us/our-team/dr-norman-swan-bio/">Dr Norman Swan, Physician and Journalist</a></strong></h6> ]]></content:encoded> <post-id xmlns="com-wordpress:feed-additions:1">61355</post-id> </item> <item> <title>Should I Circumcise my Baby?

And, you know, one, isn’t quite sure where it started from. </p> <p>It was often probably to identify yourself as part of that religious group. Sometimes it was part of a religious initiation because in some parts of the world it doesn’t happen until your child, a male child is an adolescent or an older child. Sometimes it’s not a proper circumcision. Sometimes it’s a cut underneath the penis and and there’s no known medical reason why. The question is why did it evolve beyond a religious tradition, and is there any medical or health benefits from having a circumcision? Well, the evidence from Africa during the AIDS pandemic, in fact, AIDS is still around is that in groups which circumcise their children they had far lower rates of HIV transmission. So losing the four skin does seem to reduce the transmission rates of venereal disease, sexually transmissible diseases. </p> <p>The other reason for doing circumcision is that you can get Phimosis, which is a constriction of the forced skin over the head of the penis. And that can be very uncomfortable and can limit the ability to pass water. And in that case you needed a circumcision to relieve that.

However if you have blood in your diarrhoea also if a child is vomiting and not keeping their fluids down it is important to go and see a doctor urgently.</figcaption></figure> <p><a href="https://www.mydr.com.au/gastrointestinal-health/diarrhoea/">The treatment of diarrhoea</a> depends on the sort of diarrhoea that you have. And particularly if you have diarrhoea with blood in it you really wanna check it out with your doctor and make sure that you don’t have something called Shigella, which can really make you quite sick. </p> <p><a href="https://www.healthdirect.gov.au/diarrhoea">But the most treatments for diarrhoea involve fluid replacement</a>. So it’s very unusual. It’s very rare in Australia to have anybody with cholera but cholera does occur in low income countries. And the treatment of that is high amounts of fluids very, very quickly so that people don’t die of dehydration. But most diarrhoea occur, is not as severe, is nowhere near as severe. But most diarrhoea that you would experience in Australia, it’s nowhere near as severe as cholera and requires fluid replacement. And that fluid replacement is with oral electrolyte solution that you can buy in the chemist. But if you’re vomiting and not keeping that down and become dehydrated, or if a child is becoming the mouth is dry, their breath is smelling. Then you really do need to go into the emergency department to get that checked out, in case the child needs a drip but with good oral electrolyte solution very early on, it’s very unusual these days for a child to get dehydrated. </p> <p>They’ll get through it and even if they’re vomiting they’ll usually keep enough time. There is a question mark over whether or not a breastfed baby with diarrhoea should continue to be breastfed and most people believe that they should.</p> <h6 id="h-dr-norman-swan-physician-and-journalist"><strong><a href="https://www.tonicmedianetwork.com.au/about-us/our-team/dr-norman-swan-bio/">Dr Norman Swan, Physician and Journalist</a></strong></h6> ]]></content:encoded> <post-id xmlns="com-wordpress:feed-additions:1">61387</post-id> </item> <item> <title>Beef and Broccoli Stir Fry</title> <link>https://www.mydr.com.au/recipes/beef-and-broccoli-stir-fry/</link> <dc:creator><![CDATA[myDr]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Thu, 06 May 2021 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Mains]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Recipes - For the whole family!]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Asian]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Beef and Broccoli Stir Fry]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Healthy easy meal]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Stir fry]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.mydr.com.au/?p=61336</guid> <description><![CDATA[This is a classic dish that is easy to prepare and will be loved by the whole family.
