Sperm donors vs human milk donors - another injustice against women

Image
 Indian culture is ant-women though it is a taboo to talk about this fact. Laws also do not support truly. There is something else written and something else said and done.  Women are usually put on more manual jobs and paid less. They are rarely given leadership jobs though they could have been better leaders of the hurdles in their lives were abolished.  Now coming to sperm donation vs human milk donation. If you see both, and think on those, you will realise that human milk donation is much more valuable and useful. Yet, human milk donors are either not paid or are paid less. But sperm donors are always paid and paid more. Why this difference???? Read: How to eat idlis? Law fails to help these mothers who I would say are exploited in the name of humanity. When sperm donation and surrogacy are compensated, why not human milk donation be compensated at par??? A food for thought!!!

Giardiasis: reason for stomach ache

Giardiasis is an infectious gut condition caused by Giardia lamblia. This parasite reaches the gut via infected food and water. It attaches to the gut lining and proliferates to produce disease in the patient. 

Symptoms 

Giardiasis causes nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, gas, bloating, loose motions, weakness, fatigue, loss of appetite. It interferes with nutrients absorption and if untreated can gradually cause weight loss. 


Stools are pale in color, greasy and foul smelling. Loose motions are either recurrent or persistent. Heartburns are common.

Reason for stomach ache in giardiasis 

1. The pathogens invade the gut lining and cause inflammation

2. There are muscle cramps due to the inflammatory response 

3. Gas formation leads to stomach ache

4. There is absorptive disorder. Bile salts are not absorbed and there is imbalance of acid formation. Hyperacidity is common and this too causes tummy pain. 

Prompt treatment with oral metronidazole or secnidazole cures the disorder. Five to seven days course with metronidazole or a stat dose of secnidazole is beneficial. 


Stool sampling may be required for diagnosis if symptoms are unusual or mild or mimic other gut conditions.
