Malabsorption pain symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment?

Malabsorption is difficulty in the digestion or absorption of nutrients from food. Malabsorption can affect growth and development, or it can lead to specific illnesses. Some of the causes of malabsorption include: Cystic fibrosis.

Symptoms
A condition that prevents absorption of nutrients through the small intestine. Malabsorption may be caused by infection, medication, small intestine surgery and disorders such as coeliac disease. Symptoms include weight loss, bloating and sometimes diarrhoea. Eventually, the brain, nervous system, bones, liver and other organs can be affected.

Pain areas: in the abdomen
Gastrointestinal: diarrhoea, flatulence, bloating, or fat in stool
Treatment depends on the underlying disorder causing malabsorption, but may include nutritional supplements.
Palliative care: Electrolyte repletion and Vitamin repletion.

Specialized Care:
· Electrolyte repletion: Low levels of electrolytes like potassium or magnesium can cause symptoms like palpitations or muscle cramps.
· Vitamin repletion: Replacing low levels of vitamins that can cause or contribute to disease.

Treatment includes:
Treatment depends on the underlying disorder causing malabsorption, but may include nutritional supplements.

Special Treatment
Gastroenterology: Focuses on the digestive system and its disorders.
Nutrition: Specializes in food and diet.
Primary Care: Prevents, diagnoses and treats diseases.

Menstrual (Period) pain symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment?
Cramps and pelvic pain with menstruation, with common causes such as heavy flow, passing clots, uterine fibroids or endometriosis.
Why is period pain so painful?
Without oxygen, the tissues in your womb release chemicals that trigger pain. While your body is releasing these pain-triggering chemicals, it's also producing other chemicals called prostaglandins. These encourage the womb muscles to contract more, further increasing the level of pain.
Why do period pains get worse as you age?
Menopause. Unfortunately, just as you think your period symptoms should be easing off, cramps can actually get worse. That's because during the menopause the hormones that regulate your menstrual cycle begin to fluctuate.

Common Causes and Symptoms:
Menstrual cramps can have causes that aren't due to underlying disease. Examples include normal periods, heavy periods, wind or constipation.
How to relieve period cramps fast at home
1.Apply heat: Heat can help relax the muscles contributing to cramping, so applying heat to your abdomen or back can help relieve your pain;
2.Take a pain reliever;
3.Exercise;
4.Take steps to reduce stress
5.Get your vitamins and minerals.

Self-Treatment
Taking pain medication such as ibuprofen, naproxen or paracetamol may help to relieve menstrual cramps and pain. Using a heating pad may also help.
Specialized Medical Care
See a doctor immediately if you: Bleed heavily, soaking through one pad or tampon every hour or two; Experience changes to your bleeding pattern
Make an appointment to see a doctor if you: Are older than 25 and haven't had cramps before; Get more severe cramping than usual; Have symptoms that interfere with work or other tasks.

9 early signs and symptoms of diabetes:
1. The early symptoms of untreated diabetes are related to elevated blood sugar levels and loss of glucose in the urine. High amounts of glucose in the urine can cause increased urine output (frequent urination) and lead to dehydration.
2. Dehydration also causes increased thirst and water consumption.
3. A relative or absolute insulin deficiency eventually leads to weight loss.
4. The weight loss of diabetes occurs despite an increase in appetite.
5.Some untreated diabetes patients also complain of fatigue.
6. Nausea and vomiting can also occur in patients with untreated diabetes.
7.Frequent infections (such as infections of the bladder, skin, and vaginal areas) are more likely to occur in people with untreated or poorly-controlled diabetes.
8.Fluctuations in blood glucose levels can lead to blurred vision.
9. Extremely elevated glucose levels can lead to lethargy and coma.

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment?
CMV is contagious to individuals who have not been infected with it previously, but it is not especially easy to get infected. It is weakly contagious.

How long is cytomegalovirus contagious?
The contagious period when the virus is being shed in body fluids may last for months in an infected individual, and the virus may be shed without symptoms at intermittent periods throughout life.
What is the treatment for cytomegalovirus infection?
There is no cure for CMV, and treatment for CMV infection is not necessary for healthy children and adults. Those at very high risk of developing severe CMV infection may be placed on antiviral medication to help prevent CMV disease. This pretreatment is called prophylaxis. This method has helped reduce the number of CMV infections in these patients.
The antiviral medications against CMV include the following:
•Ganciclovir (Cytovene) is the first antiviral medication approved for the treatment of CMV infection. Ganciclovir, given intravenously, is the drug of choice for the treatment of CMV infection. Side effects include fever, rash, diarrhea, anemia, and low white blood cell and platelet counts.
•Valganciclovir (Valcyte) is an oral medication that is activated to ganciclovir in the body and is widely used to prevent CMV infection (prophylaxis). It is used in selected patients for the treatment of CMV infection and is as effective as intravenous ganciclovir in milder cases.
•Foscarnet (Foscavir) is active against CMV by a different mechanism than ganciclovir and is used to treat infections with CMV that are resistant to ganciclovir. It is a second-line therapy for patients who do not tolerate ganciclovir treatment. Foscarnet is toxic to the kidneys and can cause seizures due to an imbalance of minerals and electrolytes.
•Cidofovir (Vistide) is an alternative therapy for patients who have failed ganciclovir and foscarnet treatment. Its use is limited due to toxicity to the kidneys. It is used mainly for the treatment of CMV infection of the eye (retinitis) in patients with acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).
•CMV immune globulin contains antibodies (proteins) that are specific to CMV. It may be prescribed to prevent CMV infection in high-risk lung transplant patients when given in addition to ganciclovir. It is also used with ganciclovir to treat CMV pneumonia.

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment?
CMV is a common virus in the same family as herpesvirus, and it can infect anyone. CMV spreads by direct contact with body fluids, such as saliva, blood, urine, semen, vaginal fluids, congenital infection, and breast milk. Thus, breastfeeding, blood transfusions, organ transplants, maternal infection, and s*xual contact are possible modes of transmission.
Most healthy people do not experience any symptoms when infected with CMV, and it does not pose a serious health concern. A majority of adults have antibodies consistent with past infection.
People at risk for serious CMV disease usually have a deficiency of cell-mediated immunity.
Most healthy children and adults who do have symptoms will recover from CMV infection without complications and do not require antiviral treatment.

CMV Symptoms?
Fever is considered a temperature above 100.4 degrees F (38 degrees C). A feverish sensation, however, may occur when the body temperature is above the average normal of 98.6 degrees F. (37 degrees C). Fever is part of the body's own disease-fighting arsenal. Rising body temperatures apparently are capable of killing off many disease-producing organisms. For that reason, low fevers should normally go untreated. Although, if the fever is accompanied by any other troubling symptoms, you may need to see your doctor to be certain.
What are the risk factors for cytomegalovirus infection?
Those at risk for CMV include young children and adults who work closely with them, people who undergo blood transfusions, people who have multiple s*x partners, and previously uninfected people who receive a CMV-infected organ or bone marrow transplant. People at risk for complications from CMV infection include pregnant women and their fetus (congenital cytomegalovirus infection) and those with a weakened immune system, such as people who are HIV-infected, individuals who are recent organ transplant recipients, cancer patients, or those who are taking medications that might suppress their immune system. Cell-mediated immunity is particularly important in preventing CMV reactivation and opportunistic infections.

What treatments are available for depression?

Antidepressant medications: Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are medications that increase the amount of the neurochemical serotonin in the brain. (Remember that brain serotonin levels often are low in depression.) As their name implies, the SSRIs work by selectively inhibiting (blocking) serotonin reuptake in the brain.
Dual-action antidepressants: The biochemical reality is that all classes of medications that treat depression (MAOIs, SSRIs, TCAs, and atypical antidepressants) have some effect on both norepinephrine and serotonin, as well as on other neurotransmitters. However, the various medications affect the different neurotransmitters in varying degrees.
Atypical antidepressants work in a variety of ways. Thus, atypical antidepressants are not TCAs, SSRIs, or SNRIs, but they can be effective in treating depression for many people nonetheless. More specifically, they increase the level of certain neurochemicals in the brain synapses (between nerves, where nerves communicate with each other).
Monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) are the earliest developed antidepressants;
Phototherapy, a particularly effective treatment for seasonal affective disorder, entails the individual with depression being exposed to cool-white florescent light at a strength of 10,000 lux for half an hour every day;
Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT): With the ECT procedure, a brain stimulation therapy, a physician passes an electric current through the brain to produce controlled convulsions (seizures);
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS): Another brain stimulation therapy, that induces a brief magnetic field that can change the electrical flow of the brain that is effective in easing symptoms of depression or anxiety.
Psychotherapies: Many forms of psychotherapy are effective at helping depressed individuals, including some short-term (10-20 weeks) therapies.

Thyroid disorder (hyperthyroidism) symptoms, Diagnosis, and Treatment?
Hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid) occurs when your thyroid gland produces too much of the hormone thyroxine. Hyperthyroidism can accelerate your body's metabolism, causing unintentional weight loss and a rapid or irregular heartbeat. Several treatments are available for hyperthyroidism.

Symptoms
Underactive Thyroid Symptoms
Symptoms and signs of hypothyroidism include:
•Constipation
•Changes or abnormalities in the menstrual cycle
•Dry skin and brittle nails
•Tingling and numbness in the hands or fingers
Overactive Thyroid Symptoms
•Problems with vision
•Diarrhea
•Irregularities in the menstrual cycle
•Trembling hands
•Muscle weakness

Is It Menopause or Thyroid Disorder?
Thyroid disorders can cause symptoms that are mistaken for those of a woman approaching menopause. Both menstrual cycle changes and mood changes can result from the menopausal transition or from thyroid conditions. Blood tests can determine which of these conditions is responsible for your symptoms. It's also possible to have a combination of the two causes.

Treatment
1. Treatment include anti-thyroid medications - radioactive iodine, medication and sometimes surgery.
2. Medications – Antithyroid agent and Beta blocker
Specialist Treatment and Care
1. Endocrinology - Treats metabolic and hormone disorders.
2. Primary Care - Prevents, diagnoses and treats diseases.
