Cervical cancer injection | Vaccination against cervical cancer

The vaccination program against cervical cancer promises to be one of medicines biggest breakthrough developments in the last twenty years or more.

A cervical cancer injection - or vaccination against cervix cancer - has been developed and shown to be effective against the HPV virus which causes the condition.

Several countries have already completed mass vaccination campaigns of young women in the hope that cervical cancer will be nearly eradicated in coming generations. There is even some debate about extending the vaccination offer to young men - some of whom also carry the HPV virus.

So far the cervical cancer injections have gone smoothly with many millions of young women now immune to HPV. Few side effects have been recorded and so far the outlook seems bright.

Cortisone Injections for Back Pain | Treatment Steroid Injection

Steroid injections for back pain are used by many doctors to treat chronic (and sometimes acute) episodes of back pain.

Cortisone injections for back pain are less common now than before - in the sense that cortisone has been replaced for the most part by other more modern steroid agents. Drugs like triamcinolone or methylprednisolone are more often used nowadays.

A doctor using a steroid injection to treat back pain will target the injection treatment at the area which is causing the pain symptoms. This could be the facet joints of the spine, the muscles, the sacroiliac joints or the nerve roots as they emerge from the spinal column.

Cortisone injection treatment for back pain is not always successful but it can make a big difference for many patients.

Rooster comb injections | Joint Pain | Hyaluronic Acid

Most hyaluronic acid injections or hyalgan injections are now manufactured artificially using bacterial extraction and genetic techniques.

Drugs such as synvisc, ostenil and other similar products are effective for the treatment of joint pain and osteoarthritis.

When these products were first introduced onto the market some years ago the hyalgan chemical was not manufactured - but rather it was extracted from the combs of roosters. This resulted in these treatments sometimes being called "Rooster Comb Injections"

More sports medicine and orthopedic doctors than ever are now using the modern equivalent of these rooster injections and the results are usually excellent.

B12 injections for weight loss | B 12 injections | Vitamins

Is there any good evidence to show that vitamin b12 injections for weight loss are effective?

Now - to be fair, the research evidence is not great on this topic - and it's probably not good enough to really reach a decision one way or another.

It's certainly true that simple b 12 injections on their own will not be enough to result in loss of weight. You might choose to have them in addition to a strict diet or exercise regimen - but even that has no solid basis in science.

Have you tried weight loss injections of vitamins?

Did it work for you?

Vitamin B12 Injections | Side Effects | B12 Injections Weight Loss

Vitamin B12 injections have been around for many years.

B12 is one of the most important vitamins in the body and a lack of it can lead to a number of symptoms including fatigue and an unusual kind of anemia with large blood cells - sometimes called macrocytic anemia or pernicious anaemia.

B12 is absorbed from the gut but problems with bowel function or surgical operations can interfere with this  and lead to vitamin b12 deficit problems.

Apart from local pain there are no real B12 injection side effects to worry about.

Some people have claimed that taking extra injections of vitamin b12 can aid weight loss but this is not proven.

Platelet Rich Plasma

One of the most exciting new treatment approaches available for joint pain, muscle pain and tendon or ligament injury is the use of the patients own platelet rich plasma - extracted in a blood sample and then injected back into their own painful area.

Platelets contain very high numbers of growth factors and natural anti inflammatory chemicals or hormones - all of which are vital in the repair and regeneration process.

The PRP technique involves taking a small blood sample from the patient in a special syringe, placing the syringe in a centrifuge and then spinning until red cells and white cells separate away from the platelets and the plasma.

The platelet and plasma mixture is then injected back into the area of an inflamed muscle or an inflamed tendon - often producing dramatic and quick benefits.
