Have you ever experienced the ‘rotten egg’ (Sulphur) burp? That
burp that smells worse than really bad smelly fart? If you haven’t, you’re in
luck! 😀 If you have, I’m about to tell you why it happens!

Most burps are due to swallowed air.
We are more likely to swallow air when we eat very fast, when we
chew gum, drink through a straw or suck on hard candies. ‘Excess gas’ can also
be produced as a result of what we have eaten. Sulfur-containing
vegetables and foods like avocado, sweet potatoes, tomatoes, nuts, green leafy
veggies, cabbage, onions, runner beans etc. typically cause smelly burps. Other
culprits include, proteins and beer (yes, beer!) Now these are mainly
healthy foods and so we are not about to ask you to stop eating them:D
Well, just the beer! You can stop that one! 😀

The rotten egg smell of Sulphur burps is…

Good morning Doctor. Please, I want to get some information and side effects of the following. Green tea and dry Moringa seed and peak milk on baby. Thanks so much.
Hmm, very interesting question. I wish you’d mentioned how old your baby is.
Green tea is thought to increase metabolism and thus aid weight loss. It’s also touted to have beneficial effects on blood pressure, blood sugar levels and Alzheimer’s disease. These health effects are thought to be due to the presence of the anti-oxidants that help fight cell damage as in cancer.
Moringa seed is believed to have beneficial effects on lots of diseases because of the large amount of phytochemicals (substances found in plants that may affect human health) that probably have beneficial health effects.
None of these stated effects of green tea and moringa seeds have been proven conclusively. Green tea, in addition, has caffeine which may…

Q: Good Evening Doc, Pls am a bit
worried. My daughter of a week and six days is having rashes on her vagina wall.
I don’t know if is the diaper that caused it. Please assist on what to do.

A: Congratulations
on your new baby and don’t worry, motherhood just looks/feels harder than it
really is. In a few months now, you’ll be dispensing motherly advice to other
new mums:D

Diaper rashes are common in babies and they could happen on the
butt or anywhere around the area including the lips of the vagina as you have
observed. The causes include
• Prolonged contact with urine or stool
• Diapers that are too tight
• Harsh detergents, soaps
• Baby wipes.
• Sensitivity

Prevention essentially focuses on the causes. So,
• Change your baby’s diaper as soon as you realize it’s wet or soiled
• Be sure to buy…

Q: Well done Dr. May the good Lord reward you. Please, when can I start brushing my baby’s teeth? Please, tell me the right toothpaste to use. Secondly, when can I start potty training? Let me know when you post it. Thanks

A: Taking care of your baby’s mouth/teeth starts from birth. Yes…even before the teeth actually erupt. Be sure to clean your baby’s mouth with a clean, wet flannel wrapped around your finger at least twice a day. As soon as the first tooth erupts, teeth brushing starts in earnest. Brush your baby’s teeth (yes…even if they are only two) with a tiny amount of a tooth paste that does not have fluoride. The reason for this is that swallowing excessive amounts of fluoride can lead to disease conditions in children including the development of whitish patches on teeth. The use of non-fluoride tooth paste should continue until your…

Q:
Good day Doc. Ketch. I want know more about ‘Gyna …..’! Is it recommended for the
cleansing of vagina? Or does it reduces the smell down there? Please help.
Thank you in advance

A: Let’s
start with a statement of fact….Some degree of vaginal odour is common with all
women. The vagina has a natural musky smell. In the same way, some degree of
discharge is also normal as the glands in the vagina and cervix produce fluid
which wash away dry, dead cells and flush out bacteria. A strong vaginal odour
which appears different from normal especially when associated with other
symptoms like a burning sensation, itching, discharge etc may be suggestive of
a problem…some more easily solved than others.

For
instance:
Poor vaginal hygiene. This can be easily remedied by washing the vagina daily
with or without soap (if soap is used, unscented or mildly scented soap…

Q: Hi doctor.
Does a loop cause smelly discharge or just lots of discharge?

A:
Intra Uterine Device (IUD) are also known as loop contraceptives. There are two
types: the Paragard IUD and the Mirena IUD.

The
Paragard IUD is a copper-containing IUD. The copper is poisonous/toxic to sperm
and the IUD also prevents implantation of the fertilized egg into the uterus,
should fertilization still occur. Paragard can be used during breastfeeding and
its removal leads to a quick return of fertility, generally.

The
Mirena IUD contains hormones which make the cervical mucous extra thick
preventing the sperm from getting to the womb and it also makes the lining of
the womb thin such that even if a fertilized egg were to get there, it would
not be able to implant on the thin lining of the womb. It also prevents
ovulation. Mirena helps reduce the cramping pain of a…
