Main Symptoms of Cerebral Thrombosis

Cerebral thrombosis is a type of stroke that happens when a blood clot blocks an artery in the brain. The signs usually start without warning and get worse over minutes to hours. Knowing what to look for can help you act fast and limit brain damage. The most common first clue is sudden numbness or weakness on one side of the body—face, arm, or leg. Your smile may droop, or you may not be able to lift one hand. Speech can become slurred or jumbled; some people lose the ability to speak at all. Vision may blur or disappear in... Learn more

is coffee good for kidney stones

Is Coffee Good for Kidney Stones? If you like starting your day with coffee and have worried about stones, the news is reassuring: sensible coffee drinking is linked to fewer stones, not more. Stones form when urine becomes too concentrated with calcium, oxalate or uric acid. Anything that increases urine volume or lowers supersaturation usually helps. Coffee does both. The caffeine acts as a mild diuretic, diluting the urine, while antioxidants in the brew interfere with crystal clumping. Large prospective cohorts show the benefit clearly. Among more than 200 000 health professionals followed for eight years, people in the highest... Learn more

can drinking green tea cause kidney stones

Worried that your daily cup of green tea might lead to kidney stones? Relax: studies consistently show that green tea does not raise the risk, and may actually lower it. How kidney stones formStones develop when urine becomes oversaturated with calcium, oxalate, uric acid, or other solutes. Low urine volume, high sodium, and low citrate are common culprits.

Main Symptoms of Gynecomastia

Gynecomastia is simply the growth of true breast gland in males. It usually shows up as a firm, rubbery button of tissue right under the nipple and can feel tender or even burn when it starts. The most common notice is a puffy, slightly swollen chest that may look like a small breast mound. One side often appears first, but both breasts can enlarge over time. The area is usually tender to touch or when clothing rubs, similar to the soreness teenage girls feel when their breasts bud. In some men the tissue stays coin-sized; in others it widens and...

Main Symptoms of Macromastia

Macromastia means breasts are oversized for your body frame—usually more than 500 grams above ideal weight or enough extra tissue to cause physical problems. Symptoms start early, often in the teen years, and tend to get worse with weight gain, pregnancy, or hormone swings. The clearest complaint is chronic neck, shoulder, and upper-back pain that deepens as the day goes on. Bra straps dig grooves into the skin and may leave tender marks or rashes. The weight pulls the shoulders forward, so many women also feel burning or numbness down the arms when the bra is tight. Skin-fold moisture under... Learn more
