I worked swing shift today. I worked with runny nose and teary eyes because of allergies. I ate chicken. We had two births. One of our patients bled a lot. She lost 1200cc of blood because of bleeders from the perineal laceration. It was hard to find the bleeders. I managed to clamp it with haemostat. I found 3 bleeders so I put 3 hemostat in their. I sutured the patient right away. Actually, I was not the one who supervised the birth but the other supervisor asked to do it. We gave Intravenous fluids. Before the patient delivered we already noticed that she had a previous laceration that was not sutured. Some of the parts are not already aligned and there were already growth tissues. In other words, it looked like she already had 10 babies instead of two.I offered a free vaginal repair if she wants to. It is so expensive when you have it. I haven’t do vaginal repair yet but I saw and observed the doctor did it 3 times. The patient agreed. But God’s grace, I was able to repair her vaginal great. I felt so happy that it was successful. The patient, mother and the husband of the patient were so glad. After I am done with the repair another labor came just right before endorsement.6/11/09

Merry Christmas everyone!! I hope everyone is having a wonderful time their family and friends. We have a marvelous time with our family because all of the members of the family are present. Christmas is a great way to ponder that Jesus our savior was born which the the reason for the season.

Christmas is celebrated throughout the Christian population, but is also celebrated by many non-Christians as a secular, cultural festival. Because gift-giving and several other aspects of the holiday involve heightened economic activity among both Christians and non-Christians, Christmas has become a major event for many retailers.

The children in this photo are the son and daughter of my cousin that I delivered at home. I cant imagine how they grow up so fast. Aren’t they cute?

When we knew that our patient did not carry twins, instead had uterine myoma, I did some research about it. Actually, that patient did not come back for her prenatal check-ups. If she did, that abnormalities was detected through ultrasound. These are some info of Uterine Myoma.

Uterine myomas also called “fibroids” are tumors that grow from the wall of the uterus. The wall of the uterus is made of muscle tissue, so a fibroid is a tumor made of muscle tissue. The fibroids start off very small, actually from one cell, and generally grow slowly over years before they cause any problems. Most fibroids are benign; malignant fibroids are rare. The cause of fibroids is unknown, although it is known that fibroids have a tendency to run in families.

The most common symptoms are:
• Cramping with periods.
• Heavy flow or clots with periods.
• Discomfort, such as pressure, as well as being unable to lie on your stomach and being unable to button your clothing easily, caused by the mass of the fibroids. Other, less common symptoms include irregular bleeding and urinary frequency caused by the pressure on the bladder from the fibroids. If your periods are very heavy, you may become anemic and an iron supplement may be recommended.

If fibroids become symptomatic enough, they can be removed surgically. The most common surgical approach is to perform an “abdominal myomectomy. An incision is made in the lower abdomen into the abdominal cavity, and the fibroids are removed from the uterus and the uterus stitched closed. If the uterus is no longer necessary (the woman is finished having her family) and the woman desires her uterus removed, a hysterectomy (removal of the uterus) can be performed. (A “hysterectomy” is removal of the uterus and cervix, not removal of the ovaries.
