STis – SA's one-in-two syndrome

09.09.11

‘One in two sexually active people in South Africa will get a sexually transmitted infection (STI) by age 25,” says Professor Elna McIntosh, who is the president of the South African Society of Sexual Health Advisers, Educators, Researchers and Therapists (Sassert) and the director of the Disa Sexual and Reproductive Health Care Clinic in Sandton.

“There are over 20 STIs that affect men and women, including syphilis, gonorrhoea, herpes and HIV,” she explains. “STIs are contracted during sexual contact and are caused by a variety of organisms that fall into four main categories: bacterial, fungal, parasitic and viral.”

Men and women who have several sexual partners and who do not use condoms are at greater risk of infection.

The problem is that many people do not know they have an STI or do not want to admit they have one, irrespective of the mildness or seriousness of the infection. In some cases, STIs show no obvious signs or symptoms; in other cases people do not know what their symptoms mean – which is why getting tested regularly at your doctor or clinic, and particularly after risky sexual behaviour, is vital.

When Is Hair Loss Normal? | Hair Care

by Ingrid Gillette-Palmer

When is hair loss normal? Have you ever brushed your hair and noticed that several strands were left in the brush? This is one type of normal “shedding.” About 10% of our hair will fall out naturally. There are cases of excessive hair loss and several different causes for it.

Many people find that a few months after surgery or an extended illness, their hair falls out in clumps. This is caused by the actual illness and is only temporary. It is caused by the stress of the illness and the actual ailment.

Hormonal imbalances frequently cause excessive hair loss. This can occur when estrogen or androgen is too low. Another disease which causes hormonal imbalance is thyroid disease. This can be caused from an overactive or under active thyroid gland. All of these ailments can be controlled with the proper medication.

There are several types of infections that may cause hair loss. Some children are prone to fungal scalp infections. Luckily, this can be treated with anti-fungal medication. The hair loss is reversed and the hair will begin to grow normally after treatment is administered. The growth cycle of hair is normally 2-6 years.
