Common diseases such as UTIs or fungal problems typically come to mind when we talk about infections. At times, however, some unusual and di

Penile Myiasis: A Rare but Serious Condition 🦟 Penile myiasis occurs when fly larvae infest the penile tissue—a rare but dangerous condition. Poor hygiene, open wounds, or neglected infections increase the risk. Symptoms include pain, swelling, discharge, and foul odor. Immediate medical attention is crucial to remove larvae, treat infection, and prevent complications. Awareness and hygiene are key.

I often post about aspects of my life and living with Cerebral palsy. I have seldom mentioned that I am also a congenital (present at birth) amputee,. Above the elbow on the right side. I was born with a rare medical condition called amniotic band syndrome. Amniotic band syndrome is a rare condition caused by strands of theamniotic sac that separate and entangle digits, limbs, or other parts of the fetus. This constriction can cause a variety of problems depending on where strands are located and how tightly they are wrapped.Amniotic band syndrome is estimated to occur in anywhere from 1 in 1,200 to 15,000 live births. No gender or ethnic predispositions have been identified with amniotic band syndrome.(Note) I used some information on the internet in order to in ensure I adequately explained the syndrome as a whole because the effects are varied. Additional information can be found at https://rarediseases.org/rare-diseases/amniotic -band-syndrome/ https://fetus.ucsf.edu/amniotic-band-syndrome#a0 The amniotic band also affected my left hand I was born with Syndactyly (webbed fingers) all my fingers were fused with exception of my thumb. I had a series of surgeries to separate them starting at about when I was one year old. I want to emphasize the cause of amniotic band is not fully understood. It is NOT caused by drug or alcohol use during pregnancy. I bring that up because it was a question I was asked a lot because of having multiple conditions. It is a common misconception that if you have birth defects there was alcohol and drug use involved . This was not the case for me all. The doctors characterized my unusual combination of conditions as a fluke occurrence. As you can see I took advantage of my prosthetic arm one year at Halloween when I dressed up as a a pirate. #amnioticbandsyndrome #syndactyly #rareconditions #disability #dispelingmyths https://www.instagram.com/p/BwIptToDWq4/?igshid=12f0p3y7myk59
