Andropause, often referred to as “male menopause,” describes a period in men’s lives characterized by a gradual decline in testosterone levels. It typically occurs between the ages of 40 and 50, though this can vary from individual to individual. Unlike menopause in women, which is a distinct event, andropause manifests more gradually. A decrease in libido, erectile dysfunction, chronic fatigue, mood swings including melancholy and irritability, loss of muscle mass, and weight gain, especially around the midsection, are just a few of the many symptoms associated with andropause. Osteoporosis risk in certain men may also be increased by sleep problems…

Combining the best aspects of both contemporary and traditional medicine to provide holistic treatment allows patients to receive the best possible health outcomes. Herbal therapies, holistic approaches to health and wellbeing, and natural medicines are the main features of traditional medicine, which has its roots in local customs and historical knowledge.

The combination of these two strategies recognises the distinct advantages and drawbacks of each. Conventional medicine emphasises prevention and preserving the body’s general balance while providing a thorough grasp of natural…

Facial paralysis is a medical condition characterized by partial or total loss of motor function in the facial muscles, often caused by damage to the facial nerve (cranial nerve VII). This condition can be temporary or permanent and may affect one side of the face (unilateral facial paralysis) or both sides (bilateral facial paralysis).

Suspected to be linked to viral infections like herpes simplex, Bell’s Palsy leads to sudden weakness or paralysis on one side of…

One widespread fallacy that is supported by media depictions and society expectations is that being skinny means one is healthy.

A person’s whole lifestyle choices, mental health, physical activity levels, genetics, and cuisine all have an impact on their overall health. Even those who are thin may still be at risk for health problems if they have bad eating habits, are not physically…

Obesity is a major public health concern affecting adolescents and children who have excess body fat. It results from complex interactions among genetic, behavioral, and environmental factors. Thus, addressing childhood obesity requires a comprehensive approach. To start, it’s important to encourage a healthy diet.

In the streets of Lomé, the capital of Togo, Mrs. Ayaba (a pseudonym) goes door-to-door distributing brochures, mainly to women. She sometimes takes the time to explain the content to some of them, while inviting others to a discussion event that will take place soon. This young woman has been carrying out this activity for two years, especially during the month of October. “It’s my way of raising awareness about breast cancer.
