Geoffrey Lafond - Dealing with Morning Sickness
Geoffrey Lafond is a gynecologist with years of experience treating pregnant women and helping them navigate through an often challenging period in their lives. One of the common issues faced by pregnant women is ‘morning sickness.’ While it frequently happens in the mornings, the nauseous feeling can occur at any point in the day.
Morning sickness typically starts in the first trimester, with many women experiencing it around the 4th week. Changes in hormones are thought to be the main reason. By the 14th week, the condition has settled, though it is not unusual for it to last longer. A more extreme form of the condition, called hyperemesis gravidarum, requires specialized attention.
What’s the effect? The most common effects of morning sickness are an upset stomach, nausea, and vomiting. A majority of women experience nausea in the first 3 months, with the combined effect posing a challenge to daily life.
While getting friends and family to help is encouraged, it should be noted that morning sickness symptoms can sometimes trigger depression, which requires extra counseling and support. However, vomiting and nausea have no harmful effect on the fetus.
Managing the symptoms
If nausea is an issue early in the morning, try eating dry foods like toast or cereal before starting your day.
Rather than eat three large meals, eat small portions every 3 hours or so.
Sip on water or fruit juices throughout the day.
Completely avoid greasy or spicy foods.
If strong smells seem to bother you, avoid the source or eat foods at room temperature.
The feeling of morning sickness is a common one during pregnancy that, as Geoffrey Lafond knows, is easily manageable.

Geoffrey Lafond - What is a Hysterectomy?
Geoffrey Lafond is an experienced obstetrics and gynecology specialist currently practicing at Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Bridgetown, Barbados. He’s been in the field since the early 1990s, and in that time has helped patients navigate through numerous health issues, including hysterectomy. A hysterectomy is a surgical operation that is undertaken to remove the uterus in a woman.
A hysterectomy can be performed for a host of reasons, including cases of cervical cancer, endometriosis, adenomyosis (thickening of the uterine wall), chronic pelvic pain, unusual vaginal bleeding, or uterine fibroids. When a hysterectomy is recommended for any of the non-cancerous reasons, it’s usually because other treatment approaches have proved unsuccessful.
Depending on the reason for undertaking a hysterectomy, a surgeon can remove part or the whole uterus. A total hysterectomy is when the entire cervix and uterus is removed. Radical hysterectomy goes further and includes tissue surrounding the uterus and some of the upper parts of the vagina. This option is taken in cases of cancer.
Different techniques Different surgeons will employ different techniques, depending on their level of experience, the reason for the operation, and the patient’s health. The technique used also determines the recovery time. However, the two common approaches to hysterectomy surgery are the traditional (open) surgery, or use of minimally invasive procedures.
The advancement of medical technology has made surgery much safer, thus leading to quicker healing and recovery times. Professionals like Geoffrey Lafond are also best placed to offer advice on the best approach to a hysterectomy that is suitable to a patient’s condition.
