Parkinson’s disease is a form of a progressive nervous system disorder that directly impacts the movement of the body. While symptoms may start to appear gradually, sometimes they begin with a mild tremor in any of the hands. Tremors are quite common, the disorder can also cause slowing down the movement as well as stiffness in the body. In this article, we would be looking at the different symptoms, causes, and risk factors associated with this medical condition. Symptoms The signs of this disorder differ from one person to another. While early symptoms may be unnoticed, they appear on one side of the body and worsen that area. Some of the most common ones include:

• Tremor The most common sign of Parkinson's disease is tremors. It usually starts from any of the limbs. It can occur in the fingers or even the hand.
• Change in speech and writing If you speak quickly or mumble and experience difficulty in writing, you may be suffering from Parkinson's disease.
• Rigid muscles Muscle stiffness typically occurs in any part of the body. The stiff muscles can be quite painful, limiting the range of motion.

• Impaired balance or posture A change in posture and balance issues are also the signs and symptoms of Parkinson’s disease.
• Bradykinesia While this disease may slow down your movement, it can also make simple tasks quite difficult. You may find it time-consuming to do simple tasks. Your steps keep becoming shorter while walking.

Causes

• Genes Researchers have made genetic mutations, which can result in Parkinson's disease. However, this is quite uncommon and can happen only in rare instances wherein many members of the family are affected by this disorder.

• Environmental triggers Exposure to certain triggers or even toxins with environmental factors may increase the risk of getting this disease. However, the risk is quite small.

Risk factors The risks associated with Parkinson’s disease include:

• Age This disease can develop in middle-aged men/women. The risk increases with age. People over the age of 60 are at a higher risk of getting this disorder.
• Gender Even though there is no exact cause behind this particular risk factor, men are more likely to get Parkinson’s disease as compared to women.
• Heredity Many people who get Parkinson's disease are related to somebody who is inflicted with this disorder. However, the risk is quite minimal. Chances may only increase if you have many relatives in the family who have Parkinson's disease.
• Exposure to toxins Ongoing exposure to different pesticides and herbicides may increase your risk of getting Parkinson's disease. Hence, you should be aware and conscious of your surroundings.

If any of your loved ones start to show symptoms of this disease, we recommend you to get it checked at the earliest. An early diagnosis will be helpful in following an effective treatment plan. Various medications and surgical procedures can help you in improving the condition. Carbidopa-Levodopa Carbidopa-Levodopa clinical trials have solidified the role these compounds have to play in the management of Parkinson’s disease. Levodopa acts as a dopamine substitute, while carbidopa prevents levodopa from being broken down before it reaches the brain. This, in turn, enhances its impact on the nerves and brain. However, it is difficult to find an option that is completely devoid of side effects. Similarly, Carbidopa-Levodopa clinical trials also presented some unwanted results, like nausea, low blood pressure, hallucinations, and more.

Often women, during their initial year's post wedding, in consent with their partner, are sure that they never want to get pregnant. Was this the case with you when on a whim, you had your tubal ligation surgery, to have your tubes tied. Soon years later, you change your mind and finally, want to get pregnant. So what is your option? You simply get a tubal reversal surgery. Tubal reversal surgery will reattach your fallopian tube, giving you the chance to get pregnant again. What to do before the surgery Before you decide to have a tubal reversal surgery, your doctor will make a decision for the surgery based on: Your age The surgical procedure that you will have to undergo to have your tubes tied Your overall health and the health of your ovaries, uterus and most importantly the length of the remaining fallopian tube Doctors generally take patients for a tubal reversal surgery, if small parts of your fallopian tubes were removed, or they were closed using rings or clips. Once you are in talks with the doctor about the reversal procedure, he/she will ask you and your partner to have a complete physical exam. This is done to ensure that both of you are in a fertile condition and once the tubal reversal surgery is done, you two will have a high chance of getting pregnant. Through blood and imaging tests, the physical exam will make sure that your ovaries are normal. A test called hysterosalpingogram (HSG) will be conducted on you to check the viability and the length of your fallopian tubes. Your partner will also have to go through certain tests like sperm count and semen analysis, to rule out any major fertility problems on his part. On the day of your surgery You won't have to stay overnight for a tubal reversal surgery, so you can visit either a hospital or an outpatient center. You will be administered with anesthesia to make you sleep and continue the entire procedure pain-free. The surgeon will insert the laparoscope through your belly button and into your pelvis. This will allow your surgeon to take another look at your fallopian tube and check whether reversal surgery is possible or not. If your surgeon decides that your fallopian tube is good for surgery, he will proceed to make an incision called a bikini cut alongside your pubic hair line. Microscopic instruments are attached to the end of the laparoscope; this helps the surgeon to remove any rings or clips that were used to close the fallopian tubes. The surgeon then reconnects the ends of the fallopian tubes to the uterus, using very small and fine stitches. The whole procedure takes about 2 to 3 hours. As most tubal reversal surgeries are laparoscopic, it takes a week or two for a full recovery. Most women even start working from the second week. However, consult your doctor on your recovery process. Cost of the procedure It must be noted that insurance generally doesn't cover a tubal reversal surgery. Along with the surgery, doctor, anesthesia and hospital fees, the bill may run to several thousand dollars.
