Hoarseness is indeed an abnormal change in one’s voice. The most common cause of hoarseness is acute laryngitis. The underlying cause of hoarseness can usually be diagnosed by a health care professional based on the patient’s history as well as the physical exam. The treatment for hoarseness depends on the underlying cause. Hoarseness can be prevented by avoiding excessive strenuous voice use as well as smoking cessation. What is hoarseness? Hoarseness is indeed an abnormal change in one’s voice which is caused by a variety of conditions. The voice may also have changes in pitch as well as volume, ranging from a deep, harsh voice to a weak, raspy voice. What causes hoarseness? Hoarseness is generally much caused by irritation of, or injury to, the vocal cords. The larynx (which refers to as the voice box), is the portion of one’s respiratory (breathing) tract which contains the vocal cords. The cartilaginous outer wall of one’s larynx is indeed commonly referred to as th

Pain in one’s heel does restrict movement and causes much discomfort on walking or standing which also disturbs one’s mental outlook. The pain is due to a medical condition referred to as Calcaneal Spur. It happens to be a sharp, pointed, horny outgrowth on the calcaneal bone present in one’s heel. The outgrowth is the build-up of calcium deposit on the heel bone. The reason behind Calcaneal Spur formation is indeed repeated stress on one’s heels. When the heels are exposed to repeated stress, it does lead to damage of muscle, ligaments, and fascia that tend to cover the heel bone. As a result, the heels are indeed exposed and do become prone to trauma and formation of Calcaneal Spur. People who are indeed obese and athletes are who are prone to develop Calcaneal Spurs face this issue. Wearing of high heels as well as ill-fitting shoes also spurs the formation of calcium deposits on one’s heel bone. The main symptom of Calcaneal Spur is the pain in one’s heel around the spur.

A hydrocele is a swelling in the scrotum of a boy, a thin sac that holds his testicles. It does happen when too much fluid does build up inside. The condition is indeed most common in newborns, though older boys and men can also get it too. It may also sound or look serious, even painful, but one need not worry, as it will not hurt one’s baby. It might rather go away on its own, although one should still see the doctor about it. Causes of hydrocele A hydrocele can also start before one’s son is born. His testicles do grow inside one’s belly and then tends to move down into the scrotum through a short tunnel. A sac of fluid does go along with each testicle. Normally, the tunnel and the sac seal off before birth, and the baby’s body absorbs the fluid inside. When this process does not go as it should, then one can get a hydrocele. There are two types of hydrocele: A noncommunicating hydrocele that does happen when the sac does close like normal, but the body of the boy do
