Fibromyalgia is a disease characterized by muscle and bones pain. It is believed that this disorder amplifies painful sensations because it affects the way your brain processes painful signals. In general terms, fibromyalgia begins after a physical trauma, surgery, infection or stress. Furthermore, symptoms accumulate over time and women are more likely to develop this disease.

Even though there is no cure, there are medications to help control its symptoms, and exercise or relaxation can help reducing them too. It is normal to have a constant dull and widespread pain on both sides of your body and above and below your waist. People who suffer from fibromyalgia are also prone to develop fatigue and disrupted sleep due to the pain. Sometimes, there are even cases in which cognitive difficulties, such as inability to pay attention or concentrate, are present. From E&S Doctors, we recommend to visit your doctor if you have any of these symptoms.

 

La fibromialgia es una enfermedad que se caracteriza por un dolor de huesos y músculos generalizado. Se cree que este trastorno amplifica las sensaciones de dolor porque afecta la forma en que el cerebro procesa las señales de ese dolor. Por lo general, la fibromialgia aparece tras un traumatismo físico, cirugia, infección o estrés significativo. Además, los síntomas se acumulan poco a poco con el tiempo y las mujeres son más propensas a tenerla.

Aunque no existe una cura, hay medicamentos para controlar los síntomas y, tanto el ejercicio como la relajación, pueden ayudar a reducirlos. Lo más normal es que se tenga un dolor generalizado, leve y molesto, que es constante por encima y debajo de la cintura y a ambos lados del cuerpo. Las personas que la padecen también suelen presentar fatiga e interrupciones del sueño, debidas al dolor. A veces, incluso se pueden dar casos con dificultades cognitivas como la falta de atención y concentración. Desde E&S Doctors, recomendamos acudir al médico si presenta alguno de estos síntomas.

Today, due to the International Day against breast cancer, we want to remind you of some questions about this type of cancer. Breast cancer is a disease that forms on the breasts and it is most commonly diagnosed in women, although it can also occur in men. The number of deaths associated with breast cancer are declining due to important factors as earlier detection, personalized treatments and a better understanding of this disease.
This cancer develops when some breast cells begin to grow abnormally, which makes them to divide more rapidly than the healthy ones and, therefore, forming lumps. Researchers have identified some factors that may increaser your risk of having this disease like being a woman or a family history of breast cancer. Nevertheless, it is not known why some people without risk factors develop this cancer. From E&S Doctors, we want to recommend you to go immediately to the doctor if you find a lump in your breasts because it is one of the most common signs. You can also detect a change in size or shape of your breast, peeling or crusting in your skin; you can even have redness or pitting of the skin over your breast. Furthermore, we want to help fighting against breast cancer by giving some advice to women so they can help prevent the risk of developing it. That’s why, you have to talk to your doctor about breast cancer screening exams, do self-exams on your breasts and remember that you can come to our clinic if you need any more information. In E&S Doctors, we care about your health and we fight against breast cancer.

Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), or sexually transmitted infections (STIs), are normally contracted by sexual contact, but they can also be transmitted from mother to infant during pregnancy or even through blood transfusions or shared needles. The most common thing is that the organisms that cause them pass from person to person in blood, semen or bodily fluids.

STDs don’t always cause symptoms and it’s usual to contract them from people who seem perfectly healthy. These sexually transmitted diseases may go unnoticed until complications. However, some symptoms can be noticed that indicate that we have caught a STDs, like: sores or bumps on the genitals or rectal area, painful urination, discharge from the penis, odd-smelling vaginal discharge or even unusual vaginal bleeding, pain during sex, fever or rash in hands or feet.

Cancer is a disease characterized by the development of abnormal cells, which destroy normal body tissue. Frequently, it spreads throughout the body and it is the second-leading cause of death in the world. Recently, this has improved thanks to cancer screening and a proper cancer treatment. Even if there is a slight idea about what are some risk factors, the majority of cancers occur in people who do not have any known risk factors. These are: age, habits like smoking or drinking, and family history.

Symptoms vary depending on what part of the body is affected. The most common signs are fatigue, lumps under skin, weight or skin changes, persistent cough, difficulty breathing or swallowing, hoarseness, indigestion, unexplained muscle pain, fevers or night sweats and unexplained bleeding. To prevent cancer, it is advisable stop smoking, avoid excessive sun exposure, exercising, drinking alcohol in moderation and schedule cancer screening exams.
