India’s social structure and HIV AIDS

Monday, August 4th, 2008

We have been discussing this for long now but the problem still remains the same. In India women are at a much higher risk of falling prey to HIV/AIDS than men because while having sex a woman’s body has more sections exposed to the HIV virus then men. Moreover there is a larger virus present in sperm than in vaginal secretions. In India the society is male dominated and women are depended on men financial and even emotionally thus allowing the men to control their lives and the right as to when, with whom and in what circumstance they will have sex. While in cities the sex workers are aware of the consequences and reasons for HIV/AIDS, women in villages or small towns who are sex workers are more ignorant and are falling prey to HIV/AIDS. At time in villages even housewives are forced to sell themselves to survive. Rapes also make women prey to HIV/AIDS. More over women buying condoms and saying no to sex is not taken in the right way in the Indian Society.

Miscarriage

Thursday, April 3rd, 2008

An early pregnancy loss is defined as miscarriage, which is also called spontaneous abortion. The different types of miscarriage are the following. Threatened miscarriage is where spotting or bleeding in the first trimester occurs. The study says that about 20 percent of women will go on to miscarry completely. Desibaba sources found that during this stage the woman is monitored for further bleeding. The Ultrasound exams which are a diagnostic imaging technique which uses high-frequency sound waves and a computer to create images of blood vessels, tissues, and organs are usually performed to monitor growth of the fetus. Complete miscarriage is where the fetus, placenta, and other tissues are passed with bleeding. Incomplete miscarriage is when only a part of the tissues are passed while some remain in the uterus. In this case there may be heavy vaginal bleeding. Missed abortion is when the embryo or fetus dies, but is not conceded out of the uterus. Septic miscarriage is when the mother gets a fever and may have bleeding and discharge with a foul odor. Here abdominal pain is common. Septic miscarriage is a serious condition and can result in shock and organ failure if not treated. Antibiotics and dilation and curettage (D & C) may become necessary. In This dilation and curettage special instruments are used to remove the abnormal pregnancy. Recurrent miscarriage means more than three miscarriages. So some this is a common problem when they are pregnant, if only everything for as hunky dory like the good old film songs, where phases in life pass quickly and happily.
