COVID-19 and pregnancy

She sighed a big sigh of relief when her COVID-19 tests were negative. M, 29, pregnant with a pair of twins was at 30 weeks of gestation. She had been having fever and cough for 2 days before she was admitted to the ward for observation. 

For expectant mothers, the deadly virus has caused much stress and anxiety. It also raised many unanswered questions. 

Effects on the mother: 

Current data indicates that pregnant mums do not have a greater chance of getting sick from COVID-19 than the general public. There is also no evidence to suggest that infected expecting mums have more serious complications than non-pregnant women. In an analysis of 147 women, only 8 percent had severe disease and 1 percent were in critical condition, according to a report published on February 28 by the World Health Organization. 

At present, there is no data to show an increased risk of miscarriage. Though there have been some babies born prematurely, it is unclear whether it is due to the virus. 

Effects on the baby: 

Available evidence has suggested that the virus is unlikely to cross the placenta and infect the fetus. Babies born to women with the infection seemed to be free from the virus and appeared healthy at birth according to a study published in Lancet in February 2020. After birth, the newborn is susceptible to person-to-person spread. Researchers have reported 33 babies with COVID-19 infection shortly after birth; only three had mild symptoms and signs of the illness. 

Breast feeding: 

Current evidence suggests that breast milk does not contain the virus. The Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RCOG) advises that breast feeding is permissible if the baby is well. The concern is whether an infected mother can transmit the virus through respiratory droplets during the period of breastfeeding. 

American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) and the Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine have the following suggestions: 

· Mothers with confirmed COVID-19 should take all possible precautions including washing her hands before touching the infant and wearing a face mask, if possible, while breastfeeding. 

· If breast milk is expressed with a manual or electric breast pump, the mother should wash her hands before touching any pump or bottle parts and follow recommendations for proper pump cleaning after each use. If possible, consider having someone who is well feed the expressed breast milk to the infant. 

As very little is known about COVID-19, there are currently no recommendations specific to pregnant women regarding the evaluation or management of COVID-19 according to obstetrics fraternities (ACOG and RCOG). 

Prevention: 

As the immune system in the body does change during pregnancy and expectant mums infected with viruses from the same family as COVID-19 (e.g. SARS) can become more seriously ill, it is important for expectant mums to try to protect themselves by: 

· Avoiding people who are sick or who have been exposed to the virus 

· Cleaning their hands often using soap and water or alcohol-based hand sanitizer 

· Cleaning and disinfecting frequently touched surfaces daily 

· Wearing a facemask and avoid touching the face and eyes 

· Social distancing 

· Any other measures recommended by the local government

I want 8 abs!

For all my life until 5 months 

ago, I didn't see myself as someone who was very fit. In fact, I was quite a. 

couch potato, only exercising maybe up to twice a week if I really felt like. 

it. I would run every Sunday with my buddies along the Alexandra canal as we. 

have been doing it for years. It just felt like I was doing the bare minimum to. 

keep myself barely healthy, so long as I keep up my immunity. I didn't even. 

know that there was such a thing as personal trainers in Singapore. 

I was still. 

having my favourite bubble tea twice a week and eating fast food weekly, and. 

that was just how I was for a really long time. However, every time I open. 

Instagram, I would see photos and videos shared by my friends and some. 

celebrities that I follow, showing them working out at the gym or fit pics of. 

themselves in clothes looking very dapper. Even when I browse through men's. 

magazines, I would also see photos of men having a very fit body and looking. 

smart in their clothes. 

I sometimes think to myself, what. 

would it be like if I could also be really fit myself? I was just a little bit. 

jealous of what I saw, and I think that it would be nice if I could look fit. 

and strong myself too. I would look really good in my clothes and fit well into. 

them. To have a lean and toned body and a set of 8 packs ... it felt like a. 

dream to have. 

When I look at myself in the mirror, it was quite disappointing. 

I wasn't obese, but I would consider myself about average with a tummy. I would. 

wrestle with such thoughts pretty often, telling myself that I should do. 

something about it, but it never really came to fruition. Normally I would just. 

forget about it after a while and just carry on with my life, not really. 

knowing when the day will come when I will actually get to exercising more and. 

getting fit. 

I did try going to the gym. 

before. Using the credits that the government gave everyone to use for sports and. 

recreational activities, I would go to the gym to try working out weekly. 

However, I kept losing momentum and there were days where I just felt. 

unmotivated to work out. I even tried diets, to bulk up, but it felt tough for. 

me and it was difficult having to adjust my habits and eating preferences to. 

eating so much protein without all the sauces. It just wasn't enjoyable for me,. 

and I felt like I didn't want to torture myself with all of that. I did not. 

know what to do about it, so I just left it as it was. 

One day, I happened to see a. 

friend's Instagram post about how he joined a programme to work out and how he. 

was really happy with the results as he lost a lot of weight. I was also quite. 

shocked at his transformation and wanted to find out what programme that was. I. 

texted him and asked him for the details, and he referred me to this personal. 

training website, Personal Training Singapore. 

I went on to check the website. 

out and saw that they offered a range of services, from losing weight to. 

building muscles, as well as IPPT training. It looked really promising, so I. 

took a look at their 'Build Muscle' page and was quite impressed at their. 

description and reviews. They train you by assigning a personal trainer to you,. 

that will help encourage and pace your progress to achieving the kind of. 

physique and look that you would like to have. They even offer packages to. 

choose from, which some include customised meal plans and even a personal. 

grocery trip, although they all come with a price. I have never had a personal. 

trainer before, let alone attempt such a kind of thing. But I felt pretty sold. 

on what I saw on the site and decided to get in touch with them to kickstart my. 

fitness journey. 

I spoke to the staff over the. 

phone and decided to start with a rapid results package for building muscles,. 

as I felt like this was my chance to achieve the 8 packs that I had always. 

wanted. The package came with customised meal plans, which could help me find. 

better alternatives to eat since I am not fully familiar with customising my. 

meals to my taste while keeping it suitable for the kind of exercise and. 

outcome that I was going for. 

I also discovered that they train at many of the. 

Active SG gyms, which is great as I usually go to the one near my house in Toa. 

Payoh and it is convenient for me. I guess this means no more excuses since I. 

have a personal trainer now and that it's at my convenience! 

My personal trainer was really. 

great and helpful, as he was able to work with my schedule and meet my needs,. 

and was really patient with me during the personal training sessions. Before. 

the training started, we actually met to talk about what I wanted to achieve. 

and do personal profiling to better understand my needs and see what we can do. 

to achieve the body that I wanted - which was my 8 packs (Let's build some. 

muscles, yeah!). 

He was really nice and understanding about it - knowing that I. 

found the bulking diet really difficult to stick to since it didn't suit my. 

taste, he planned out meals that incorporated ingredients that could improve. 

the taste of the meals which I could enjoy. In terms of working out, as I do. 

not exercise very often, so we slowly built on the intensity of exercises and. 

we stuck to meeting to workout twice a week. My personal trainers would. 

encourage me during exercises, which really helped me whenever I felt like. 

giving up. 

Currently, it has been 5 months. 

since I started this programme, and I must say that I absolutely do not regret. 

joining this at all! It has tremendously helped me to be more motivated to. 

achieve my goals of wanting an 8-pack and I have to admit - It's been a journey. 

that hasn't been easy but I now have the 8-pack abs that I once dreamed of! I. 

really enjoyed the journey, and it has been really rewarding to see the. 

transformation that takes place both physically and mentally. I feel much. 

sharper and alert and so much more confident than I ever was. It really is so. 

much better when you have a personal trainer to keep you on track and give. 

valuable advice to improve on. I recommend Personal Training Singapore as the. 

best personal training Singapore that you should definitely go for! 

How do I improve my overall image?

 

One’s overall Image refers to the way that one is presented to the outside. It helps people to form associations and remember who each other are visually. Images help people to form impressions of a particular thing in their brains.

Hence, it is important to have and maintain a good overall image when meeting people as it plays a huge role in how people view and remember you as. Albert Mehrabian, a pioneer researcher, conducted research on the impact of the message and the outcome was that 55% of it was attributed to appearance and actions. Not only that, but he also found that 65% of face-to-face communication is done non-verbally. 

This means that the kind of image and impression that one possesses is important as it affects the way people react towards each other and how they perceive one another to be. How can one improve their self-image and what does it take to have a good overall image? In that case, an image consultation course can help in aiding one to properly grasp the fundamentals and necessities of having a good presentable image that is authentic to yourself.

• Corporate companies – local and foreign
• Educational institutions
• Professional associations
• Social clubs/societies
• Community centres and social networking groups

Their courses can come in various types, such as basic to advanced, masterclasses, grooming and personal branding or even train the trainer for those who are looking to also train as an image consultant themselves.

Different companies package their image consultant courses differently, hence every course will consist of various expertises. Such services offered by companies are as such:

• Wardrobe consultations
• Colour consultations
• Personal shopping
• Clothing or uniform designer
• Hair and makeup styling
• Etiquette consultations
• Executive presence coach
• Fashion feng shui
• Image motivational speaker or presenter
• Image branding

How can it improve my overall image?

Attending image consulting courses can help you to realise your potential in many ways. The three main areas where image consultants can coach you on are physical appearance, behaviour and communication. 

These three aspects have a visual impact on your overall image. Such benefits are helping one to regain and improve self-confidence, knowing how to present themselves well to people from family and friends, to people in the workplace and even strangers.

​You will be taught how to dress well and appropriately for any occasion, learning colour analysis to know the type of colours that are suitable for you and find types of clothes that best suits yourself. Not only that, but you will also learn how to improve your body language and communication skills while understanding etiquette for both personal and professional situations.

Conclusion

It is important to know that first impressions matter, and it can be hard trying to figure out how to improve your overall image, sometimes even not knowing what needs to be changed.

What is cataract surgery and is it painful

Do you experience problems seeing due to cloudy vision that even spectacles can not help? In this case, you could have a cataract, a condition in which the clear lens of the eye becomes cloudy, preventing sufficient light rays from entering the eye and impairing vision. You need a cataract surgery. 

In cataract surgery, the lens inside your eye that has become cloudy is removed and replaced with an artificial lens (called an intraocular lens, or IOL) to restore clear vision. The procedure is performed on an outpatient basis and does not require other care facility. 

Cataract is common in the elderly due to ageing. Prolonged ultra-violet light exposure, long term use of medications such as steroids and certain illnesses like diabetes are also risk factors for the development of cataracts. Cataract can be present at birth or develop as a result of injury. 

The first sign of cataract is usually blurring of vision. Other complaints may include frequent change of glasses due to increasing short-sightedness in the adults, colours appearing dull, poor vision in bright light, glare, haloes around lights, difficulty reading or watching television or driving at night. 

Singapore cataract surgery will usually be advised by your surgeon when your poor vision caused by cataract can not be corrected with glasses and interferes with your daily activities. 

When going through cataract surgery Singapore, you are sedated. This is not a general anaesthetic, and you do remain awake during the cataract surgery. There is no discomfort associated with sedation, which puts you into a 'twilight' state. While you can still respond to basic instructions from the surgeon, such as 'look at the light,' you will often have little memory of the Singapore cataract surgery afterwards. One minute you're talking to the anaesthetist, the next you are being offered tea and refreshments after your procedure is complete. It is not a painful cataract surgery. 

After your cataract surgery, you will need to administer eye-drops into the operated eye at regular intervals for up to 4 weeks. Light activities and good hygiene are advised. Potential contaminants to the healing wound such as from swimming and hair-washing should be avoided. 

You should return for check-ups at one day, within one week and at about a month from your Singapore cataract surgery. read more laser cataract surgery

“Doc, My Menses Smells”

http://www.alife.org.sg

She looked worried and upset when she stepped into my consultation room. “Doc, my menses has a fishy smell for the past 2 months.” She said. “Am I having a growth in my vagina?” T, a 32-year-old housewife had been married for 5 years. Her husband worked in a neighboring country and returned home for a week every 2 to 3 months. She last had sexual intercourse with him 2 months ago.

On further questioning, T also noticed yellowish, sometimes greenish vaginal discharge on and off for the past 6 months. The discharge was accompanied by occasional itchiness and burning sensation around her vulva. On examination, her vulva was inflamed and red. The vaginal discharge was creamy yellow and foul-smelling. The cervix was angry looking with red hemorrhagic spots. A microscopic examination of the vaginal discharge demonstrated the presence of the parasite, trichomonas vaginalis as shown in Figure 1 below.

Figure 1 T was suffering from trichomoniasis, a disease caused by the micro-organism, Trichomonas vaginalis. The parasite is approximately the size of a human white blood cell. The fishy smell in the vaginal discharge and the menses is due to the presence of a chemical compound known as trimethylamine. 

How common is trichomoniasis? Trichomoniasis is one of the common sexually transmitted disease (STD). It occurs more often in women than in men. Risks factors of the infection include: Multiple sexual partners Sex workers Drug abuse Older women Poverty How is it transmitted?

The parasite lives in the semen and vaginal fluids. It is transmitted between couple during unprotected vaginal sex. In women, the most commonly infected area is the lower genital tract (vulva, vagina and cervix). 

Other body parts, like the hands, mouth, or anus are usually spared. Occasionally, the infection can be spread by sharing sex toys. Very rarely, it can be transmitted through objects like wet towels and toilet seats. What are the symptoms of trichomoniasis? Only about 30% of infected patients have symptoms. It is unclear why the rest remain asymptomatic. Probably this is related to the person’s age and overall health. The symptoms vary and can occur sporadically. They can present as a mild irritation or severe infection. The incubation period ranges from 5 to 28 days or longer. 

If untreated, the infection can last for months or years. For women, the common symptoms are: White, yellowish, or greenish with an unusual fishy smell. Itching, burning, redness or soreness of the genitals; Discomfort with urination Pain during sexual intercourse. 

Urinary frequency Lower abdominal pain What are the complications of trichomoniasis? Trichomoniasis increases the risks of getting or spreading other sexually transmitted infections such as chlamydia and gonorrhea. Pelvic inflammatory disease and infertility may result. If it occurs during pregnancy, there is an increased incidence of premature birth ,intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) and baby with low birth weight.

What is the treatment for trichomoniasis?

Trichomoniasis can be easily treated with medication. To avoid getting reinfection, both sexual partners should be treated at the same time. It is advisable to have a review 3 months later to make sure the infection is completely cleared. T was treated with medication for 5 days. She noticed drastic improvement in her symptoms the next day and her menses was not smelly on her next cycle. 

However, reinfection occurred as her husband refused to be treated as he was asymptomatic. After much counseling and persuasion, he finally agreed to take the medication together with T who had remained symptom free since.

A Miracle Baby: Grappling with Repeated Miscarriages

Never did she expect that starting a family was such a challenge.

She had had 3 miscarriages for the past 4 years. Y, aged 35, came from a neighboring country. For her first pregnancy, she conceived within 6 months of her marriage. She thought that everything would be smooth-sailing. Unfortunately, she had a miscarriage at about 10 weeks of gestation. She felt upset and grieved over her loss for a while. It took her another year to conceive the second time.

The pregnancy progressed smoothly until the fetal heart stopped beating at 12 weeks of gestation. She was devastated and suffered a short spell of depression. She had some blood tests done by her local Singapore gynaecolygy clinic, who told her that all the results were normal and the miscarriage was due to “bad luck”.

She moved with her husband to another town due to his work commitments. She was pregnant soon after. Again, mishap happened at around 16 weeks of gestation. This time, she was told that the miscarriage was due to an abnormal wedge of tissue which was found to divide the upper part of her uterine cavity.

“Doc, can you please confirm this anomaly and help me solve the problem?” she asked. Y had a uterine septum which was confirmed by a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). A uterine septum occurs when a full or partial wall separates the uterus. It is a structural abnormality and is formed during Y’s development as a fetus.

Cause of the septum:

During embryonic development, the uterus starts out as two small tubular structures. As the fetus develops, each structure moves downwards and towards the middle of the body where they fuse together to form a single organ.

Normally, the wall where the two tubes join in the middle will break down completely resulting in a single triangular shaped uterine cavity (fig 1). If the wall between the two tubes does not disintegrate completely, a septum will form (fig 2).

Prevalence:

About one in 10 to 15 women with repeated miscarriages has a uterine septum.

Symptoms:

Uterine septums increase the risk of a miscarriage by two to four times. It is suggested that if the foetus is implanted on the septum, the blood supply to the foetus may be compromised resulting in pregnancy loss.

Besides miscarriages, uterine septum may increase the risk for:

Preterm birth

Abnormal foetal position e.g. breech

Intrauterine growth restriction

Premature detachment of placenta: Placenta abruption

Stillbirths and neonatal deaths in the first week of life

Diagnosis:

Uterine septums are usually detected during an ultrasound examination, hysterosalpingogram(HSG) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). More recently, a modified ultrasound procedure, called sonohysterogram is used to provide better images and measurements of the septum. It involves instilling saline into the uterus and then looking at it with an ultrasound.

Treatment:

The septum can be removed with a simple surgical procedure using a hysteroscope. The uterus is distended with saline solution. The lighted telescope is inserted into the vagina, through the cervix and into the uterus. The septum is then incised. The procedure is usually done under general anesthesia.

Outcome:

After removal of the septum, the patient is advised to wait for two to three menstrual cycles for healing to take place before trying to conceive. About 50 to 80 percent of women will go on to have an uneventful pregnancy.

Y had a successful removal of the septum. She returned for review six months after surgery and was pregnant the following month. The antenatal period went smoothly without complication and she delivered a healthy male baby weighing 3.2 kg by Caesarean section.

When I saw her the next day after delivery, she looked at her baby in her arms and said “ Doc, it’s so surreal. I still can’t believe that I have a baby! I look at him in wonder and will never forget the long and tough path I have travelled to bring him safely into the world. I am so lucky to have my little miracle baby”.
