I appreciate this contest topic, it is really timely and I hope it will educate a lot of people to be health conscious when it comes to making decisions on surgery. Some are scared and do run away from surgery which would have safe them, I have series experience of it especially when it has to do with ceaseran section and a lot of women loss their life and that of their baby because they don't want to have a scare.

🩹Tell us what surgery have you or a family member or friends performed and why?

Personally I've undergone 2 surgeries, appendectomy when I was 11 years and ceaseran section on February 2023. It wasn't a nice experience 🙂 but it was worth the time and the stress. At first I was scared but when I know I'm about to bring another person to life I was bold then pray for the strength and safe surgery and my prayers was answered.

Behold my baby was removed within few minutes and a growing fibriod was removed too which was an obstacle for vaginal delivery. I really appreciate my creator for making this successful for me, my reasons of remaining thankful always.

So two surgeries was done on me the same day, pains after this was not easy but the benefits thereafter remains.

To all women out there whenever you have a prolonged labour and you are told to sign in for cesarean section please do not reject so that you safe both you and your baby's life.

🩹 Do you consider surgery the solution to a health problem?

Well, there are some health issues that need emergency surgery to safe life, when this is required please do not reject it just to safe life.

For example;

In appendicitis; once the inflammation is severe antibiotics and analgesic will no longer subcide the pains so it will needs to be cut off to avoid rupturing which is very dangerous at that point. Therefore appendicectomy is required immediately and that is the only option in this case.

In myoma (fibriod); once diagnose and it size is removable then surgery should be booked immediately. Surgery is the only remedy for fibriod that doesn't degenerate, many people do talk about having remedies for removal of fibriod through some herbs. I may not know but I think those substance stops the production of a particular hormones which causes the degeneration of fibriod so that when they check back on scan the size will reduce not as if the fibriod is removed but it shrinks. Also note that in this case there is tendency of growing again, so surgery (myomectomy) is always the best option

Pictures of some minor fibroid done in my work place 👇

In breast lumps; it also needs surgery to remove the lumps if not it will turn cancerous.

In hernia; surgery is the only option.

There are other disease condition that requires only surgery as the only solution, and when we see ourselves in this condition we should not reject. Some people do reject and they end up

🩹 Have you or a family member or friends suffered an accident that required sutures? Tell us how was it?

I've not had accident that required sutures neither do any of my family members, but I have series of experience with suture almost every day. I never suture before because I'm not a nurse or doctor, although I know how to suture and I also know different sizes of sutures used in suturing depending on wound size and how dip it is but I've not tried it before.

The pains of suturing is not something anyone wishes to experience, even though anesthesia and analgesic is given before suturing, it is painful especialy after the drugs effect expires.

Well, during those times I had surgery I really felt pains and I used analgesic for almost 2 weeks for relief, anything suturing is painful.

🩹When these events exist, which health center do you go to, or simply go to the home remedies, tell us which one you go to!

Any time you encounter a serious accident, please do well to go to a new by clinic for proper care and management. Home remedies may be an alternative to some people but see what home remedies will never do for you 👇

🩹 Check your blood pressure

🩹 Check and control internal bleeding incase of any

🩹 Give anti titanus

🩹 Clean and suture any dip wound

🩹 Check level of blood incase there was much bleeding

🩹 Give necessary medication especially when the victim is unconconcious.

With this and many other reasons home remedies is not recommended when you have accident, go to hospital verify and clear yourself of all this things listed above even if you are strong still go to hospital to check yourself.

I believe this contest will be of help to everyone and it will help serve life's .
