Thanks for sharing- just from the description, it sounds like more of a skin condition (eg eczema)! Regarding breast screening- ie. Mammogram, it is always good to check, to ensure that the breasts themselves are healthy. My personal opinion is, the patient has the choice to decide if he or she wants any treatment. Professionally, do encourage her to see a doctor, just so that a doctor can examine and confirm that it's just a skin problem, and not from the breast.

Amniotic fluid

What are some causes of a reduction in amniotic fluid for a baby? Is it a maternal issue, reason...

1 answers 0 comments 70 views 2021-10-22 14:33:39 UTC

The many causes of a reduction in amniotic fluid are highly variable.

One major cause of a decrease in amniotic fluid is the mother’s diet and lifestyle habits (smoking, excess caffeine and alcohol consumption, diets high in processed foods). Unhealthy weight gain or very restrictive eating habits can also contribute to low levels. Leakage of fluids could also be a likely cause.

Monitoring the intake, output and swelling of your ankles will help to identify signs that you are urinating or retaining fluid. Drink more fluids, avoid salty foods and medications that promote sodium retention.
Be sure to drink lots of water and eat foods high in fiber and sodium so you produce more amniotic fluid naturally! Do see a doc to check for leakage too.

Hi, fibroids are unknown of the causes unfortunately. Embolisation works by blocking the blood supply to the fibroids. This will reduce the size by 50-60%.

1 answers 0 comments 66 views 2021-09-22 15:49:57 UTC

Not all mental illnesses can be prevented, but stress can be reduced by parents when they place fewer unrealistic expectations on their children. Parents can also walk the talk by showing that they themselves lead healthy physical and mental and emotional lives themselves so the children have good role models to mimic. When parents are stressed and act out at their kids, kids fare worse. For more parenting help specific to your situation, do contact me at www.jadelifeandwellness.com and I’d be happy to help.

Hello. I know how you feel. It can be very overwhelming when you’re the only caregiver to many. First of all, remember that not everything needs to be done at once, so prioritise your time well.

Secondly, every person- including those you are caring for- is accountable for his actions. So feel free to delegate responsibility, like homework to kids, taking meds to older folks, and bedtime to everyone. It may be hard at first as they push boundaries, but you have to let them fail first and let them try again.

Lastly, don’t forget to take care of yourself. If you need to schedule personal time for yourself, do so. It should rank as highly as tuition class for kids. Don’t wait for a complete breakdown before declaring you need emergency rest, otherwise that ‘MC’ will affect even more people. Schedule rest regularly so things can go as planned (as much as possible anyway).

If you would like to be coached to achieve your goal, do drop me an email at www.jadelifeandwellness.com and I’d be happy to assist.

Hi! Different people manage their work-life balance differently. Some people respond to external factors, whereas others respond to internal factors. It’s important to understand yourself first so you can make a plan for you that works. If you’d like to contact me at www.jadelifeandwellness.com I’d be happy to talk to you so you can understand the situation you’re in, what is happening around you and inside of you, what you’d like to achieve and make an action and accountability plan based on your resources and challenges.

1 answers 0 comments 60 views 2021-09-21 13:23:12 UTC

Hello there. I am glad you’re reaching out for help. For mental illness it is important to speak to a psychiatrist who is a doctor that is trained to diagnose and treat illnesses. Another suggestion if you don’t need a doctor but need some help exploring emotions might be a counsellor or a therapist. And if you’d simply like a listening ear to help you visualise a goal and achieve it, a coach like myself might do. If you decide a listening ear in the form of a coach is what you need, do reach out at www.jadelifeandwellness.com and I’d be happy to help. There are also other life coaches that offer the same positive, goal-directed approach so feel free to reach out to whomever suits your needs.

Hi! I understand it must be difficult for you to manage a family with five children to care for. It’s important that you look after yourself as well and I’m glad you’ve reached out. Areas you can consider to improve your self-care would be not just to look after your mental health but also your physical health as they affect each other. Also, maintain good care in your social and financial life as they tend to affect your overall wellbeing. Specifically for good mental health do consider the things you enjoy doing, and if they are healthy, make time for them. Although you are managing five children you shouldn’t forget to schedule time for yourself, no matter if it is only 20 min a day. If you’d like to speak to me as a coach to help you with maintaining good mental health, send me a request at www.jadelifeandwellness.com and I’d be happy to set up an appointment there.

Hello! You’ve mentioned a few things: having worked for several years, once being happy but now no longer and that you don’t want to resign. It’s difficult to give advice on how to achieve better work life balance without knowing a little more about these areas. It’s also unclear whether it is a poor work life balance that is causing you to be “no longer happy”. It might be better for you to speak to someone who knows the situation better, such as a mentor at work. If you’d like to have a coach speak with you, you may contact me at www.jadelifeandwellness.com and I’d be happy to reply to your email.
