According to studies, there are three out of four women who develop fibroids. However, the condition is not at all known to many leaving these women affected unaware that they have it and clueless if they should get treatment. 

Fibroids are also known as leiomyomas or most commonly referred to as myomas. During the childbearing years of women, they normally appear. This is caused by a single cell continuously dividing itself forming a rubbery mass. Although they are non-cancerous growths, their size could grow large that may distort the uterus. Knowing this condition is not cancerous is not a reason to be complacent because there are some cases where it led to cancer of the uterus. 

There are four types of fibroids; the intramural, subserosal, submucosal, and cervical. When you refer to intramural fibroids, these are found along the wall of the uterus. When it is found outside the uterus wall, it is subserosal. Fibroids that develop under the lining of the uterus are what you call the submucosal type. Cervical types are the fibroids found in the cervix. 

The thing about fibroids is rarely patients feel any symptoms. If there is any, commonly felt symptoms are anemia, backache, constipation, painful sex, pregnancy problems, and even repeated miscarriages.

To know whether you have fibroids, you must undergo ultrasound, hysteroscopy, trans-vaginal scans, laparoscopy, or biopsy. Sometimes because the condition does not manifest itself and does not lead to cancer, medical doctors just advise their patients to wait until it shrinks. Usually, it does during the menopausal stage of women. 

In other cases where the patient suffers from heavy periods and menstrual pressure, doctors prescribe medicines such as Gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists. Sometimes, doctors also advise getting a progestin-releasing intrauterine device and at times birth control pills. These medications may not eliminate the fibroids but they treat its symptoms. 

Doctors may also advise the patient to get abdominal myomectomy if the fibroids have grown large. In some worst cases, hysterectomy or the removal of the uterus will be recommended which only means the women's ability to bear a child is totally extinguished. 

There are also other minimal-invasive techniques to eliminate fibroids like endometrial ablation, hysteroscopic myomectomy, laparoscopic myomectomy, MRI-guided focused ultrasound surgery, myolysis, and uterine artery embolization.

Perfect smile. Who wouldn't that? It can practically lighten up a room. A perfect smile does not need to have a straight teeth. However, it would need to have a white teeth to become visually appealing. Having a set of white teeth can go a long way in speaking about your oral and overall hygiene. 

Regular flossing and brushing your teeth do not guarantee you will have whiter teeth especially if you have smoking and drinking of tea and coffee habits. This is usually the common reason for discolored teeth. To restore your once white set of teeth, you would need to check with a dentist. It would be impossible to remove it with just brushing your teeth. 

Having your teeth checked by a dentist to request for a whitening procedure would require a thorough assessment. Whether it's intrinsic or extrinsic, your dentist will have to check on that. It is important they know because any whitening procedure will not have an effect to those people who have intrinsic discoloration of teeth. 

Whitening can only be suitable for those patients who have extrinsic discoloration. If you refer extrinsic, it means the discoloration is just on the surface of the teeth and the dentist can make the necessary preparation for you to undergo the proper teeth whitening procedure. To make sure you are well prepared for the procedure, here is how to prepare for a teeth whitening procedure.

Schedule. This procedure may take a while depending on the severity of the discoloration hence it is important to choose a schedule that is most convenient for you. Make sure you have scheduled it at a time that there will be no need for you to hurry to assure you of maximum efficiency of the procedure. 

Teeth cleaning. Another step to prepare for the procedure is having your teeth cleaned to rid of the tartar and other sediments that may not be removed by brushing. If you have the time, schedule an oral prophylaxis preferable a month before your whitening treatment. 

Desensitizing toothpaste. A few weeks of the procedure, it is also ideal to switch to desensitizing toothpaste. This is because during the whitening, your teeth would be sensitive to the heat from the laser which is the main tool to have your teeth whitened. You can choose for a popular brand, Sensodyne to start the preparation. 

If nothing of these tips works, a painkiller prescribed by your doctor would make much difference. Make sure you have painkillers that are suggested straight from your doctor to avoid making your gums or teeth more sensitive.
