Netizens are feasting on what look to be s3x video recordings of famous Nollywood actress Moyo Lawal and an unknown male. However, based on her Instagram activity an hour or two after the clips were revealed, the actress seemed indifferent, continuing to post material completely unrelated to the news. Her most recent post, approximately an hour ago, was on her involvement in the film 'Chameleon,' which drew over 6,000 comments within an hour of being published. The majority of the comments, predictably, focused on the sex video rather than the film. Some made light of the sex tape in the comments area, while others reached out to the actress in sympathy. Mimi Orjiekwe, Nina Ivy, Bobrisky, Moet Abebe, and a slew of other celebrities sent emojis and nice words to the actress. Moyo didn't technically respond to anybody, but her previous post definitely says something about her mental condition. "The only magic I still believe in is love," Moyo Lawal wrote. “And if yo...

  Piles is another term for hemorrhoids. Hemorrhoids are swollen veins in the lower anus and rectum. This swelling can cause localized inflammation of other tissues. Many people suffer from piles, although the symptoms are not always visible. Hemorrhoids produce obvious symptoms in at least 50% of adults over the age of 50 in the United States. This article will look at piles, their causes, how to identify, classify, and treat them, as well as the impact they may have on the body. What are piles? Piles are the result of swollen veins in the lower anus and rectum. They can cause tissue growths in and around the anus and can lead to significant discomfort. These growths can vary in size and location. Internal vs. external Internal piles form within the rectum and are typically not noticeable on an external inspection. In certain situations, however, an external pile may form and extend from the anus. Prolapsed haemorrhoid is the medical word for this. Internal piles are graded on a f...

Eczema is not a specific illness but is a term that describes a group of inflammatory skin conditions that cause rash-like symptoms such as red itchy spots on the skin.    It is also known as dermatitis (skin inflammation), atopic eczema (“atopic” means the genetic predisposition to allergic hypersensitivity), or simply atopic dermatitis. The term "atopic dermatitis" may be used interchangeably with "atopic dermatitis", even though clinically atopic dermatitis is the most common form of eczema. Often. Eczema is the most severe and chronic (long-lasting) form of eczema. It is characterized by the skin becoming inflamed and the clear liquid tearing and releasing when scratched (an effect known as bleeding). According to the National Institute of Arthritis, Musculoskeletal, and Skin Diseases, people with atopic dermatitis often relapse when their symptoms worsen and relieve when their symptoms improve or resolve. Causes Damage to the skin barrier that prevents oil...

Tuberculosis  Tuberculosis, or TB, is an infectious disease caused by the bacteria Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The bacteria spreads through the air from person to person and mainly attacks the lungs, but it can affect other areas of the body. Diagnosis of tuberculosis can be a complex process. Doctors first consider a person`s medical history and possible exposure to a person with an active illness. After that, a series of screenings and tuberculosis tests may be needed to confirm tuberculosis and make treatment decisions.   Latent tuberculosis infections are asymptomatic and have a low number of bacteria, so they can only be detected by a few screening tests.   The first test used to detect tuberculosis is called the tuberculin skin test, also known as the Mantu test or PPD (purified protein derivative). A solution of M. tuberculosis is injected into the uppermost layer of skin on the forearm. Then return within 48 or 72 hours to inspect the injection site. If you have a...

 What is skin fissure? Skin fissures are cracks in the skin or under the foot that forms due to intense dryness and thickened skin. Fissures can be superficial or deep, and they may bleed or be painful. Reason for fissure or crack foot There are two reasons you get dry and cracked feet. And, while your local podiatrist can treat both, the treatment options are different. So you need to know what's causing your problem, to get the right solution. 1. Environmental Causes:      Environmental causes is one of the major reason one will have skin fissure because normally, your feet and skin is supposed to be smooth. But they can dry out because of the environment. Or if you have certain conditions or take medications that cause skin dryness. Some places in some countries, they have to worry about dry skin for much of the year. In the summer, or whenever it's hot, you're more likely to wear open shoes or sandals. And that's a big problem for y...

  Snake bites Snake bites can be a real threat to people. Of the hundreds of species of snakes in the USA only a low percentage are actually venomous. However, given the shock, distress and panic that most of us would feel on unexpectedly encountering a snake, it is highly unlikely that we would be able to easily identify whether the snake we were facing was venomous or not. Types of venomous snake bites The danger from snake bites and the toxicity of venom that a snake injects in to its victim varies from species to species. The recommended first aid for snake bites will also vary according to species and this underlines the importance of being able to place venomous snakes in to groups according to the properties of their venom. Treatment The required treatment for a snake bite is defined according to whether the venom is cytotoxic, haemotoxic or neurotoxic and the wrong treatment will not only be of little or no help but could even be dangerous. Cytotoxic - An agent or process t...

Snake bites should always be taken seriously. Though some are dry bites, which aren't as dangerous and will likely cause some swelling, others are venomous bites, which, if not treated carefully and quickly, can result in death. Always seek immediate medical attention if you've been bitten by a snake, as it could be a matter of life and death. What are snake bites? Snakes bite either to capture prey or for self-defense. But since there are so many different types of snakes — including both venomous and non-venomous — not every snake bite is created equal. Different species carry different types of venom. The major categories include: 1. Cytotoxins: Cause swelling and tissue damage wherever you’ve been bitten. 2. Haemorrhagins: Disrupt the blood vessels. 3. Anti-clotting agents: Prevent the blood from clotting. 4. Neurotoxins: Cause paralysis or other damage to the nervous system. 5. Myotoxins: Break down muscles. Snake bites are very dang...

Almost everyone around the world are concerned about the Omicron variant of COVID-19. We’ve collected the latest expert information about this new variant and will continue to update this article as more information becomes available. Omicron variant The Omicron variant of COVID-19 has been called a variant of concern by WHO based on the evidence that it has several mutations that may have an impact on how it behaves. There is still substantial uncertainty regarding Omicron and a lot of research underway to evaluate its transmissibility, severity and reinfection risk. How it Developed When a virus is circulating widely and causing numerous infections, the likelihood of the virus mutating increases. The more opportunities a virus has to spread, the more opportunities it has to undergo changes. New variants like Omicron are a reminder that the COVID-19 pandemic is far from over. It is therefore essential that people get the vaccine when available to them and continu...

Treatment may not be necessary if you have fibroids but do not have any symptoms, or if you only have minor symptoms that are not significantly affecting your everyday activities. Fibroids often shrink after the menopause, and your symptoms will usually either ease or disappear completely. If you have fibroids that need treatment, a GP may recommend medicine to help relieve your symptoms. But you may need to see a gynaecologist (a specialist in the female reproductive system) for further medicine or surgery if these are ineffective. See a GP to discuss the best treatment plan for you. The various treatments for fibroids include: Medicine for symptoms Medicines are available that can be used to reduce heavy periods, but they can be less effective the larger your fibroids are. These medicines are described below. Levonorgestrel intrauterine system (LNG-IUS) Th...

Fibroids are non-cancerous growths that develop in or around the womb (uterus). Fibroids are tumors made of smooth muscle cells and fibrous connective tissue. They develop in the uterus. It is estimated that 70 to 80 percent of women will develop fibroids in their lifetime — however, not everyone will develop symptoms or require treatment. The most important characteristic of fibroids is that they’re almost always benign, or noncancerous. That said, some fibroids begin as cancer — but benign fibroids can’t become cancer. Cancerous fibroids are very rare. Because of this fact, it’s reasonable for women without symptoms to opt for observation rather than treatment. Studies show that fibroids grow at different rates, even when a woman has more than one. They can range from the size of a pea to (occasionally) the size of a watermelon. Even if fibroids grow that large, we offer timely and effective treatment to provide relief. The growths are made up of muscle and fibrous tissue...

Low sperm count means that the fluid (semen) you ejaculate during an orgasm contains fewer sperm than normal. A low sperm count is also called oligospermia (ol-ih-go-SPUR-me-uh). A complete absence of sperm is called azoospermia. Your sperm count is considered lower than normal if you have fewer than 15 million sperm per milliliter of semen. Having a low sperm count decreases the odds that one of your sperm will fertilize your partner's egg, resulting in pregnancy. Nonetheless, many men who have a low sperm count are still able to father a child. Symptoms The main sign of low sperm count is the inability to conceive a child. There might be no other obvious signs or symptoms. In some men, an underlying problem such as an inherited chromosomal abnormality, a hormonal imbalance, dilated testicular veins or a condition that blocks the passage of sperm may cause signs and symptoms. Low sperm count symptoms might include: Problems with sexual function — for example, low sex driv...

Frequent Urination If you find yourself making running to the bathroom to relieve that constantly full bladder throughout the day—and night—you could be dealing with a symptom called frequent urination. This inconvenient symptom can be caused by many conditions. Even though it’s disruptive, and can be stressful, it’s also treatable and can be managed with the help of a healthcare provider. What is frequent urination? Inconvenient and disruptive to your daily life, frequent urination is when you need to urinate many times throughout a 24-hour period. This is a symptom of many different conditions and can have a wide variety of solutions. At some points in your life, like during pregnancy, you may need to pee more frequently. This can be a normal symptom of something like pregnancy and it usually passes after birth. However, frequent urination can be linked to other health issues that aren’t normal parts of life and don’t fade over time. It can be a symptom of more serious cond...

What is a bacterial infection? A bacterial infection occurs when bacteria enter your body and begin to multiply. Not all bacteria are bad. In fact, various species of bacteria begin to colonize our bodies shortly after we’re born. These bacteria are harmless and can offer us benefits sometimes, like helping with digestion. Some types of bacteria, referred to as pathogenic bacteria, are harmful to us. When they infect us, they can cause disease. Some of these infections can become serious, so be sure to see your doctor if you think you have a bacterial infection. For example, a minor skin infection may develop into cellulitis if left untreated. Additionally, some infections can lead to a life-threatening condition called sepsis. It’s an extreme response by your body to an infection. Below, we’ll explore some of the signs and symptoms of a bacterial infection in cuts, burns, and within the body. Signs of infection Signs and symptoms of a bacterial infection may vary dependin...

“I would actively encourage any woman to get vaccinated while planning pregnancy and at any point during pregnancy or during breastfeeding,” says Laura. “What we do know is that for those women who have had their vaccine during the early stages of pregnancy, there has been no increased risk of miscarriage or other concerns.” Emma adds “women who catch COVID-19 in their third trimester are also more likely to have severe COVID and to need hospital, as well as all the potential complications this causes”. The Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists recognises that some people do feel uncertain about being vaccinated in the first trimester of pregnancy, and may want to wait until 14 weeks of pregnancy (the end of the first trimester) to receive their first jab. However, women can catch COVID at any time during their pregnancy, so waiting to get a jab means that they might not have the best possible chance of preventing severe infection. “The most important thing is to...

There is a long, established history of giving vaccines during pregnancy, including for infections, such as whooping cough and flu. In the UK, advice for vaccination during pregnancy comes from different bodies of medical, nursing and midwifery experts, including The British Fertility Society, The Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, and The Royal College of Midwives. Another key source of expertise is the UK Teratology Information Service (teratology is the study of birth defects) which studies the safety of drugs, vaccinations and exposure to other things during pregnancy. These organisations and others, have come together in discussion and together, they recommend COVID vaccination in pregnancy. Also, they advise that all women of reproductive age be offered and encouraged to have the vaccine. “There’s no evidence that having the COVID vaccine during pregnancy increases the risk of stillbirth, early birth or smaller birth weight. This data are very reassuring and a...

Everyone who is pregnant always hope for a healthy outcome, which is not always what happens at the end. “It’s important for everyone to be aware that up to 20% of recognised pregnancies - one in five - end in a miscarriage, even if the person who is pregnant is fit and well,” explains Laura. There are several reports of women suffering a miscarriage in their first trimester, just after catching COVID-19. However, while this is concerning, COVID-19 and miscarriage are both common, therefore they may occur together by chance alone. A review of recent studies showed that there is no increased risk of pregnancy loss in the first trimester in women with COVID-19, compared with those without. However, this changes later on in pregnancy. A large UK study of hospital data found that having COVID near the time of birth increased the chances of the mother having problems with their blood pressure, giving birth early, needing a cesarean birth, and of their baby needing some neonatal (newb...

Even with the misinformation circulating online, there is no evidence that COVID vaccines affect the fertility of women. This misinformation may have first started because an important protein in the development of the placenta (Syncytin-1) has some similarities to the spike protein on the surface of the SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes COVID-19. “A false claim was made that the antibodies the vaccine would generate might also be directed towards the placenta,” Laura says. However, since then, there have been many detailed studies comparing the structures of the Syncitin and spike proteins. While some parts of the structures do look the same, they’re no more similar than many other proteins found in our bodies, so it’s highly unlikely that there would be a biological effect. What’s more, there is no evidence so far to show that COVID vaccines can interfere with fertility. “Even though pregnant women were not planned to be part of the initial vaccine trials, we learned a lot fr...
