VIDEO: Breast self-examination for male breast cancer

As the saying goes, 'All men are created equal'. The same is true for breast malignancy. Men can also develop the disease, although not as frequent as women. In the 2:36 long video that follows, you will know how to examine your own breasts. It is pretty much the same for women with a bit difference.


Self Breast Exams for Men for Male breast cancer


Male breast cancer is cancer that forms in the breast tissue of men. Though breast cancer is most commonly thought of as a woman's disease, male breast cancer does occur. Male breast cancer is most common in older men, though male breast cancer can occur at any age. Men diagnosed with male breast cancer at an early stage have a good chance for a cure. Still, many men delay seeing their doctors if they notice unusual signs or symptoms, such as a breast lump. For this reason, many male breast cancers are diagnosed when the disease is more advanced.

Vaginal gel lowers HIV/AIDS risk

Here is a new development in the field of HIV/AIDS. A vaginal gel that not only lubricates but also has blocking properties against the deadly virus. Although it only gives a maximum of 50 percent protection, it could be used to supplement male latex condoms to lower the risk of viral transmission in heterosexual contacts. However, more studies should be done for this to be conclusive. Read more below.

VIDEO: Infection of the vagina

Vaginitis is an inflammation of the vagina. It can result in discharge, itching and pain, and is often associated with an irritation or infection of the vulva. It is usually due to infection.


A woman with this condition may have itching or burning and may notice a discharge. In general, these are symptoms of vaginitis: irritation and/or itching of the genital area inflammation (irritation, redness, and swelling caused by the presence of extra immune cells) of the labia majora, labia minora, or perineal area vaginal discharge foul vaginal odor discomfort or burning when urinating pain/irritation with sexual intercourse Watch the 1:25 long video that follows to know what you have to do when you think you are suffering from this condition.

VIDEO: Cesarean section: The surgical operation

Cesarean deliveries are performed by Obstetricians for various indications. In the 5:08 long video that follows, one such surgical operation is done. There are two ways in which surgeons cut through the tummy of the pregnant mother. One is through the midline incision, and the other one--which is my favorite--is the Pfannenstiel method or more popularly called the 'Bikini cut'. If you're an expecting mother, watch this and hold no fear, the surgical team will always be at your best interest.

VIDEO: Robot-assisted operation for vaginal prolapse

It’s more common than you may think.


Vaginal prolapse (also called pelvic organ prolapse, or vaginal organ prolapse) is what happens when organs inside the pelvis fall, bulge or protrude into the vaginal wall. This condition is due to weakened muscles or ligaments that can occur from a number of causes, including childbirth, previous surgeries, and obesity. If you have signs and symptoms of vaginal prolapse, learning more about this condition (and discovering you have options!) can lead to a better way of life.


The 4:39 long video shows how the surgical procedure goes. Watch it.

VIDEO: Breastfeeding diet plan

When asked if they should breastfeed their newborns, I always told my patients, "Cow's milk are for cows...".

VIDEO: Ectopic pregnancy removed by high-tech operation

An ectopic pregnancy is a complication of pregnancy in which the pregnancy implants outside the uterine cavity or the womb. With rare exceptions, ectopic pregnancies are not viable. Furthermore, they are dangerous for the mother, internal bleeding being a common complication. Most ectopic pregnancies occur in the Fallopian tube (so-called tubal pregnancies), but implantation can also occur in the cervix, ovaries, and abdominal area. An ectopic pregnancy is a potential medical emergency, and, if not treated properly, can lead to death.

Who says "Money Can't Buy Happiness"?

The article below does. While it may be true that there are many things that money can't buy, it is equally true that there are many, many things that money can buy. Life's problems are manageable when one has lots of money. I think that to desire for more money should not be seen as obscene or odd. Money--when acquired legally and morally--is a celebration of one's own genius. It can be a gauge on how one has fared in life.

Postmenopausal UTI

Tanong: gusto ko po sanang i konsulta itong sakit na nararamdaman ko ang hinala ko po ay sakit sa bato pero dahhil po sa nabasa ko sa internet na ang sintomas ng kamimenopause pa lang. doc ang nararamdaman ko po ay pananakit sa ibaba ng kanan puson sa likod sa may kanang backbone pababa sa kanang binti at minn minutong pag ihi pero di naman masakit tuwing iihi sa backbone ko down sa pigi at legs ko ay parang mainit sa loob ng laman. pls doc tulungan nyo po ako kung ano ang dapat kong gawin o inuming gamot at ano sakit kaya ito. 49 yrs old na po ako.      salamat po
