Bone Disorders in Children
Some bone disorders in children are due to rare conditions and require careful clinical evaluation. If not treated promptly, bone disease can affect a child’s bone development, lead to multiple fractures and cause bone deformities. In some cases, bone disease in children leads to deterioration of motor development and permanent disability. Frequently, treatment is delayed because symptoms go unnoticed and only become apparent over time.
Premature Baby Complications
A premature baby is one who is born before 37 weeks of gestation. Because the baby is not considered full-term, there is an increased risk of complications for the baby. If you are at risk for a premature delivery or already have a premature baby, understanding the potential complications helps you prepare for the coming weeks and months.
Teen Drug Abuse
A fine line exists between drug abuse and drug addiction. Your teen is abusing drugs if she is using an illegal drug or if she is using a legal substance in the wrong way. Just because a teenager is abusing drugs doesn’t mean she is going to become an addict. However, drug abuse can lead to drug addiction, so it is something you should take seriously.
Weak Bladder in Older Women
As some women get older, they experience problems with their bladder, including the frequent urge to urinate and, in some cases, trouble holding it in until they get to the bathroom. Many older women tend to have a weak bladder or incontinence due to body changes such as a menopause or from having children earlier in life.
Freezing Eggs and Fertility
Many women in their 20s and early 30s decide to put off having children and focus on other areas of their lives instead. The problem is that although 40 may be the new 30 in terms of how women look and feel, as far as eggs are concerned, 40 is 40. Your uterus may stay in great shape, but your eggs decline in number and in quality after you turn 35. Freezing eggs might give women the chance to have children after they are 35.
