URINE TEST AND IT'S SIGNIFICANCE

URINE TEST
Most times when people hear 'bring your urine' they think of pregnancy test or infection. While this is correct, that urine can be used for testing pregnancy or infection, I like you to know that's not the only thing you can test urine for. Urine can also be used for culture to identify bacteria or can be screened for many other parameters.

Urinalysis as it is medically called is a simple way of screening the urine for some actors of medical importance. These actors include:

1. Blood: finding blood in the urine of a woman may not pose any medical threat if she is menstruating. Blood in urine can indicate an infection or other problem with the kidney.

2. Glucose: when found in urine, this is not a diagnosis for diabetes. We Will trash this in our next blog. But sometimes little glucose in urine is not a great source of worry, like other parameters when present it is an indication for further test especially blood glucose test.

3. Protein: an indication for either infection, hypertension, liver or kidney problem.

4. Leucocyte: these are white blood cells. Their presence in urine calls for urine culture.

5. Ketone: I refer to this test as a glucose starvation indicator. Ketone bodies are the by product release when the body uses fat as an alternative source of energy in the absence of glucose. This is evident in starvation, prolonged exercise, low carbohydrate intake or in diabetes (due to lack of uptake of glucose from the blood).

6. Bilirubin: indicator of problem with the  red blood cells (in jaundice) or the liver.

7. Urobilinogen: same as bilirubin indicating problem with the liver or jaundice(there are different types of jaundice as a result of its different causes). Also urobilinogen presence in urine can be as a result of treatment with drugs that acidify urine.
*Normally the urine contain little amount of urobilinogen, but positive urinalysis test for urobilinogen and bilirubin calls for liver function test and of course other test such as hepatitis test and blood count.

Other parameters in urinalysis are:

8. Ascorbic acid
9. PH
10. Specific gravity

Make every time PLEASURABLE.

Recently I participated in the last world TB and HIV Day events. Attractive gifts was given out, the most attractive gift in that package for some people was the #sexlubricant.

They keep asking what its used for.
So who else on this platform don't know what sex lubricants are? I will tell you;
For the purpose of our cultural and moral values I will limit this write up to only SEX LUBRICANT USES FOR VAGINAL INTERCOURSE. (Understood?)

So what are sex lubricants?
They are specialized agents used for the purpose of reducing friction or to aid easy penetration during sexual contact. There are various forms this products are made from, it could be oil base, water based or silicone based.

WATER BASED LUBRICANTS
These are considered the best because they are water soluble meaning they are easily dissolved in water. This quality makes water based lubricants easy to wash after the show.

OIL BASED LUBRICANTS
These include lubricants such as petroleum jelly. It is usually recommended for those who don't have need for condom because oil based lubricants can cause breakage of the condom due to loss of elasticity of the latex.

USE OF SEX LUBRICANTS
I remembered one of those sections during my marriage counseling, someone narrated how a married woman was always complaining about pain and bruises resulting from dryness, and she asked;
1.Must someone always do it just because she is married?
2. What if am not in the mood?
Well if you (women ), agree with me, our default lubricant (saliva) does not really do a good job, thus reason for bruises. Lubricants do not only wet the environ but also turn you on into fiery mood.

Method of its application is not defined. Apply it the way it will suit you, but believe me you should only use it when you have need for it.

 A lot of people have wrong notion about sex lubricants, men in most cases feel younger women should be sexually active and so don't require any form of lubrication- wrong!
 There are many reasons why you may not have a pleasurable time, for example: tiredness, lack of arousal, emotional Stress, anxiety, financial issues, chronic alignment( like diabetes), fertility sample production (the only masturbation i excuse for men) and so many others. Sex lubricants also help women who are in their menopause. Good lubricants will do a good job if strategically applied, so suffering and smiling is unnecessary.
I will draw my curtain here, leave questions and contributions in the comment box.
