Pagkahilo (Dizzy spells)
Tanong (T): Dear Doc Gino, Gusto ko po sanang itanong
kung anu-ano ang mga dahilan ng pagkahilo? For three days nakakaramdam po ako
ng pagkahilo. Mawawala pero maya-maya babalik uli. Hindi naman po sumasakit ang
ulo ko o anu pa man at wala ring ibang masakit sa akin. Hindi naman ako
nasusuka. Basta nahihilo lang po. Nakakapagtrabaho naman po ako,
kaya nga lang hindi maganda sa pakiramdam at hindi gaanong komportable.
Nai-check ko naman po ang bp ko, okay naman. Sana po ay matulungan ninyo
ako.Salamat po ng marami,

Galactocele (Bukol sa suso na ang laman ay gatas)
Tanong (T): May Q po ako. Kapa2ngnak
ko lng 3mos ago, ng breastfeed po ako 4 2mos den stop ko n, npansin ko n lng po
n may bukol prang namuong laman. Ano po kya 2? Pls help. Worid po ako. Tnx.
Doc Gino (DG): Ang bukol sa dibdib ay nararapat na masuring mabuti kapag ito ay napansin. Karaniwang ang sanhi ng bukol kapag nagpapasuso ay dahil sa mga namuong gatas at ito ay bihirang maging sanhi ng kanser.
Kahit ganito,
nararapat pa ring masuring mabuti sa lalong madaling panahon kung kaya't dapat
na magpakonsulta sa isang manggagamot. Maaaring gawin ang isa o higit pa
sa mga sumusunod: ‘ultrasound’, ‘mammography’ (x-ray ng suso), o ‘fine needle
aspiration biopsy’. Ang mga ito ay makatutulong upang malaman kung ang bukol ay
kanser o hindi. Nawa ay nasagot ko ang iyong tanong.

Handa Ka Na Bang Magretiro?
Sa Pilipinas,
kapag umabot na sa 65 taong gulang ang isang tao, masasabing pwede nang huminto
sa pagtatrabaho at mag-enjoy na
lamang sa buhay. Nguni’t nakahanda ba si Juan Dela Cruz na mamuhay ng ayon sa kanyang
naisin kahit walang trabaho? Naiisip kaya ni Juan ang magiging buhay kapag dumating na sa edad na
ito? Habang ang tao ay nasa murang edad pa lamang, natural lamang na malayo pa
sa isip nila ang bagay na ito. Kapag tumanda na si Juan kailangang
mamahinga na sa pagtatrabaho o magretiro.

Human Rabies
Here is a short PowerPoint presentation about rabies--a deadly viral disease usually transmitted from the virus-laden saliva of rabid animals. The most common animal reservoir are the dogs. Other animals include cats, monkeys, foxes, bats and mongoose. Chickens and snakes do not transmit the disease.
If a person were bitten by an animal where rabies is known to be prevalent, immediate washing of the wound is necessary. Medical evaluation should be done for further treatment and vaccination. Human Rabies

Lung cancer for never smokers
Science is very dynamic. People learn more and more each day. In the medical school, I was taught that the majority of smokers develop lung cancer. As a student, I paid little attention to non-smokers. Non-smokers also could develop the disease. The clip below tells us that people who never smoke could develop lung cancer because of a bad gene.

Is there hope for family life with PCOS?
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common female endocrine disorders affecting approximately 5-10% of women of reproductive age (12-45 years old) and was once thought erroneously to be one of the leading causes of infertility.
The principal features are obesity, anovulation (resulting in irregular menstruation), acne, and excessive amounts or effects of androgenic (masculinizing) hormones. The symptoms and severity of the syndrome vary greatly among women. While the causes are unknown, insulin resistance, diabetes, and obesity are all strongly correlated with PCOS.

The normal female pelvis
LAPAROSCOPIC EXPLORATION OF THE NORMAL FEMALE PELVIS
In this short video clip (1:53), the normal anatomy of the female reproductive organs are explored using laparoscopy--a highly-specialized procedure that creates small holes in the abdomen. This is in great contrast with the traditional laparotomy procedure that incises that abdominal wall. You will see normal female organs such as the non-pregnant uterus, fallopian tubes, ovaries and other structures.
