Breast Cancer Awareness

Posted by Admin on 25 Oct 2022

October is Breast Cancer Awareness month, hence we take it upon ourselves to educate our clients and followers about cancer and how to detect one early to save your life. Breast cancer is the most misunderstood and the early symptoms are mostly missed due to them being deemed normal. There is also a taboo around topics related to the body in our society hence making it even more difficult to detect. Combating The TabooFor the sake of our own health and for the sake of our loved ones, we really need to break the taboo and start healthy discussions around such topics. We can do so by educating people around us and giving them the confidence to talk about issues like breast cancer, and testicular cancer. Talking and raising awareness around these might save a lot of lives. What Is Breast Cancer?Cancer is the abnormal reproduction of cells in an area. Breast cancer is when these cells grow out of control in the breast area. There are many different types of breast cancer depending on the cells. A breast is made up of 3 types of cells. Lobules are the glands that produce milk, ducts are tubes that carry the milk to the nipple, and connective tissue consists of fatty and fibrous tissue that holds everything together. So the abnormal growth of cells in any of these areas can result in breast cancer. Types Of Breast CancerThe following are the most common types of cancer found in breasts:Invasive Ductal CarcinomaCancer begins in the ducts and spreads to the outer tissue. Invasive cancer cells often metastasize to other parts of the body, meaning they travel to other parts of the body.Invasive Lobular CarcinomaThese cancer cells are also metastasized. They begin in the lobules and spread to the surrounding tissues. There are other lesser-known and less common types of cancer that can be detected.Who Can Get Breast Cancer?Women over the age of 50 are more prone to having breast cancer. The risk factors can vary from getting old to genetics and family history to physical activity and reproductive history. There are some risk factors that you cannot control like age, genetics, and family history but others you may be able to control with the physician's help like staying active, intake of hormones, and keeping a check of your reproductive history. You can always get it checked once in a while in order to detect any lumps or abnormal growth in your breasts. Conclusion:Not only women but men can also get breast cancer. 1 in 100 men is prone to getting breast cancer. The ratio is definitely lower than that of women but better cautious and keeps your health in check before bigger damage.Let’s Compare Online thrives on educating its audience on different issues hence we deem it important to talk about breast cancer in the month of awareness.

How To Help Someone With Stuttering Disorder

Posted by Admin on 21 Oct 2022

In observation of world stuttering day, we decided to educate our clients on a wider range of medical and health-related topics. Today we try to understand the stuttering disorder and how to help yourself or someone with stuttering as per professionals. It is important to keep the mental check in health along with physical health. One more thing to keep in mind is that almost everyone faces some kind of symptoms however it is only classified as a disorder when the criteria meet a certain amount of symptoms observed in an individual. And something that might be an occasional gag for you could be a daily struggle for someone which may exhaust them of the energy they could have otherwise used to do other tasks.Let’s take a look at what stuttering disorder is and how to understand and assist it!What Is Stuttering Disorder?The stuttering disorder is also known as stammering disorder and childhood on-set fluency disorder. It causes the individual to struggle to form sentences or words fluently like neurotypicals. It does not indicate that they are not confident in what they are saying, rather they know exactly what they want to convey but they cannot do so due to their disorder. Stuttering is common in young children learning to speak, so you should not be concerned too early. However, once they are past their speaking age and have entered into an age when they should be forming sentences without a stammer then you should consider professional help. Let’s look at more extended symptoms.What Are The Symptoms Of Stuttering Disorder?As mentioned above, it is normal for children to stutter at an early age but if this translates into adulthood they can face serious mental health issues mainly due to lowered self-esteem and bullying. Some symptoms include prolonging of a word or syllable, repetition of sounds or syllables, adding incomprehensible sounds like “um” and “uh” and similar sounds, uneasy gestures while forming a word, anxiety speaking, tensed stance, and many more. Other symptoms like rapid movements, excessive eye blinks, facial tics, and many others can be accompanied by all of the above-mentioned symptoms. These symptoms can worsen when the person is excited or stressed. Causes And How To Treat Stuttering Disorder?Other than genetics, stuttering can be caused due to abnormal motor skills related to speech like timing, and sensory and motor coordination. It can also be caused due to a traumatic event including either health injury or severe mental trauma. It can also be caused due to emotional distress which is why it is very important to keep your mental health in check and avoid an environment that can cause damage to your mental health. There are many ways to treat it, depending on the role you are playing but you must keep it for the professionals so you don’t do more harm than good. Consult a speech-language pathologist to seek appropriate treatment customized for the individual since everyone with a stutter can be extremely different from the other. If you are a guardian or acquaintance, be kind even in times when it becomes challenging. Try redirecting them to something that does not stress them out and try building their esteem from there.Conclusion:If you are an adult trying to overcome it, be kind to yourself and seek out similar people. This will help you recognize the common symptoms and work out together. You may find more interesting things since the other person will be quite different from you and you will learn new information for them that may help someone else with a stutter and then you can form a small community of like-minded people who help each other through everything! Communication is more wholesome and giving than isolation!We understand that seeking therapy can be extremely expensive and out of budget for many, which is why insurance plans are designed to cater to the needs of everyone.

Posted by Admin on 20 Oct 2022

Travel insurance is the second highest-selling insurance type after car insurance. It is a delight to see our clients taking their finances and health into consideration and signing up for an insurance policy.  However, it is common to come across some obstacles and fall short of planning ahead. One of the main concerns we have noticed lately is the VISA rejection and requests for revoking the travel insurance policy that our clients bought. We have put together a small guide on how to deal with the situation and what necessary steps you can take to make financial security possible.Should You Cancel Your Insurance Policy After VISA Rejection?Whether you should or should not, you should at least attempt to do so. Because the whole idea of insurance companies is to promote financial ease in the time of need. So as soon as you encounter any issues after receiving your insurance policy, you should immediately contact your insurer so that they can guide you accordingly. How To Apply For Cancellation Of Travel Policy?In the case that your VISA is rejected, you should provide the insurer with the proof and apply to revoke your policy if it offers the service. The only thing you need to provide is proof of VISA cancellation. There is a cancellation fee applicable in this case which is 35% for all the insurance companies except UIC for which it is 52%. Also, keep in mind that your policy cannot be refunded if the travel dates have already started. How Long Do I Have To Wait For The Refund?When you apply for the cancellation of your policy, you will be notified of it and the insurance company will keep you updated about all the proceedings. It takes around 14 working days for the refund to take place so you have to be patient and put your faith in the insurer and you will be refunded in the given time. Other than that, we always encourage our clients to read their terms and conditions thoroughly.

When the ultraviolet rays from sunlight hit the skin they trigger the synthesis of vitamin D.
