According to Dr. Pradeep A. Ramesh, Consultant - Orthopaedic, Joint Replacement, and Reconstruction Surgeon at Manipal Hospital Millers Road, knee pain is a common condition that is driven by age-associated progressive joint changes, inflammatory joint illnesses, and prior joint injuries. A safe and efficient operation that can significantly relieve pain and restore mobility is knee replacement surgery, generally referred to as knee arthroplasty. Before the surgery, patients should have open communication with their doctors to address their concerns and better understand the procedure and potential outcomes. A preoperative workup is conducted to ensure a successful procedure. Rehabilitation is an important part of the recovery program for knee replacement patients, with follow-up visits occurring at different intervals to assess wound healing and remove stitches.

Diabetes and Thyroid Disease: Are They Related?
The thyroid is a butterfly-shaped gland in the neck that produces T3 and T4 hormones and controls the body's metabolism. According to Dr. Sharda, consultant in endocrinology and diabetology at Manipal Hospital on Millers Road in Bengaluru, hyperthyroidism is typically caused by auto-immune disorders that cause inflammation of the thyroid gland. In contrast, hypothyroidism is caused by an auto-immune condition known as Hashimoto's thyroiditis. Since type 1 diabetes is auto-immune, it increases the risk of having thyroid disorders. Dr. Sharda advises that if a type 2 diabetic is on regular medication and still has low blood sugar, the thyroid hormones should be tested. Both conditions are treated independently. While thyroid can be treated with medications, diabetes necessitates lifestyle changes such as diet and exercise.

Normal birth, which includes forcing the baby out, can take up to twelve hours and cause muscular injury. Common causes of muscle weakness during childbirth include:
The uterus growing in size as the baby develops.
The uterus and pelvic area muscles undergo significant stretching to allow the baby to pass through the birth canal.
Chronic constipation and straining bowel movements.
Obesity and stress.
Low estrogen levels after periods.
Continuous cough.
Endometriosis can cause tension in the pelvic floor muscles.
Muscle weakness during normal delivery causes the following health problems:
If the pelvic floor muscles become overstretched (cystocele), the bladder may descend, leading to incomplete bladder emptying and some urine retention.
Urine leaks when activities such as coughing, laughing, lifting a baby, or lifting a heavy object put stress on the body. As muscle weakness increases, it becomes more difficult for women to control this leakage.
