Klang hospital recording at least one teen birth every day

By
Reported by The Star today. If you extrapolate this statistic, you could imagine the size of this social problem in Malaysia. What about the undocumented ones?
“We thought such numbers of teen pregnancies were only in Klang, but I am also hearing of similar scenarios in the other six specialist hospitals in Selangor,”

So, what's the solution? But before we come out with a solution, its important to diagnose and analyze the probable causes.
"Salina said she and the boy had planned to go to a fast-food restaurant but ended up in the jungle “to try out sex”. “I never knew that one could get pregnant on her first time, but I was wrong. Now, I am expecting a baby,” she said yesterday..."
"Another teenager said she got pregnant “accidentally” after watching a pornographic video with a classmate. “We ended up copying the act,” she said."

One probable cause is ignorance or lack of knowledge of the 'act' and it's consequences. While curiosity and desire were the driving forces, the 'lack of knowledge' is probably the missing control element. The recommended strategy here is 'education'.
“There is an urgent need to educate children on their right to say no' to requests for sex, to respect their bodies and the importance of abstinence and the consequences of having unprotected sex and sex at an early age,”

First, let's review your knowledge of human reproduction. Remember that sperms are very resilient organisms. They are designed to go from point A (the male) to point B (the female). Sperm have a mind of their own, and all they want to do is reach the female's egg. They do this by any means necessary. They can even survive in the womb for a number of days.

10 Best NMN Supplements (2025 Review)

By
Image
NMN stands for nicotinamide mononucleotide and is a precursor to NAD+, or nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide. NMN is the direct precursor of the essential molecule nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) and is considered a key component to increase NAD+ levels in cells. NAD+ is a critical molecule found in every cell of your body, but levels of NAD+ naturally fall with age, making it — and NMN, as a result — crucial. NMN is one of the most popular supplements in the anti aging community. The global Nicotinamide Mononucleotide (NMN) market was valued at US$ 98.5 million in 2019 and it is expected to reach US$ 296.5 million ( R ) by the end of 2026, growing at a CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate) of 7.3% during 2021-2026. The NAD story took off toward the end of 2013 with a  high-profile paper  by Harvard's David Sinclair and colleagues. Sinclair, recall, achieved fame in the mid-2000s for research on yeast and mice that suggested the red wine ing...

9 Best Milk Powder for 3-4 Years Old 2024

By
Image
Breastmilk is an ideal way to feed your child, but for many parents, full time breastfeeding may not be an option. For instance, babies may develop food intolerances or allergies. Formula-fed babies may show symptoms because of milk proteins or soy proteins in infant formula.  This is what formula milk is for, as a supplement to breastmilk if it is not available at the time. Choosing the right formula brand can be stressful as what goes into your baby can directly impact their health, especially if those formulas contain harmful ingredients. Toddler or “next step” formulas are developed for children 9 to 24 months of age. These milk-based formulas contain added iron, vitamin C, vitamin E, and zinc. They also contain DHA and AA and more calcium than standard infant formulas (but not significantly more than whole milk). Manufacturers' information describes toddler formula as “insurance” or “extra nutrition” for picky toddlers who may not eat a well-balanced diet of solids.  Feed...

18 Best Supplements to Reduce Cytokine Storm: Advanced Guide

By
Image
As of May 2024, there are more than 4,000 early treatment studies  that have been published and shared with the whole world. New ones are being added every day.  This is a review of the literature, covering multiple observational studies, randomized controlled trials and references related to natural supplements and cytokine storm with more than 300 studies and references. We know that while a large percentage of the population only experiences mild to moderate symptoms of COVID-19 and won’t require hospitalization, others experience severe symptoms and complications, require hospitalization, or may even die.  It appears one of the differences between those who have a mild illness and severe illness is related to the body's ability to reduce the hyperimmune response that leads to a cytokine storm and the hyper-coagulability (tendency for blood clots) that often accompanies it. The cytokine storm may be one possible way to ex...
