Lyrica (Pregabalin) is a trendy drug among young people today. It must be sold by prescription. Some pharmacies operate as drug dealers and there are people who go there who can safely sell these substances without prescriptions. One tablet costs about 150 rubles, 12 tablets a little more than 700-1200. There are two dosages on sale - 150 and 300 mg.
This gamma-aminobutyric acid-derived antiepileptic drug is used for anxiety disorders, chronic pain, fibromyalgia, or spinal cord injury. In addition, the drug is effective in the treatment of neuropathic pain in adults and is used in the polytherapy of epilepsy in adults with partial seizures. The effectiveness of pregabalin has been noted in patients with diabetic neuropathy and postherpetic neuralgia. Used in the postoperative period as an analgesic and antidepressant.
Previously, drug addicts used these pills to relieve withdrawal from opium addiction and methadone. At the beginning of use, the effect occurs when consuming one tablet. In the future, to get the same effect you need to take 3-5 tablets. The dose increases instantly, addiction develops instantly (3-4 days and the person is addicted).
The physical sensation is always different, similar to drugs of different groups.
Acute withdrawal syndrome - terrible depression, panic attacks, hopelessness, suicidal thoughts.
These states are stronger than when quitting the drugs amphetamine, pervintine, and ephedrine. Physical withdrawal is similar to opioid withdrawal.
It is eliminated from the body in 8-10 days.
The main consequence of taking Lyrica is, of course, the development of addiction.
Patients often complain of headaches and drowsiness. There is a disturbance in concentration, coordination, memory impairment, and tremor. Swelling condition. Decreased libido. Impaired coordination, attention, memory, speech impairment, psychomotor agitation, stupor, loss of taste, coma, myoclonic convulsions and fainting are also possible. The consequences are not fully understood. Doctors have already encountered the fact that in men there is a dysfunction of the male genital organs, including amputation of the testicles. Overdoses from Lyrica have not yet been properly studied.

Conventionally, the consequences of IVF on a woman’s health can be divided into immediate and long-term. The first arise in the process of preparation for embryo transfer, during it or immediately after, and therefore are quite well studied. The latter reveal themselves after some time in the form of the appearance of various diseases, including those not related to the sexual sphere. Since the history of IVF began not so long ago, the study of long-term consequences continues to this day.
If there are any changes in your health during IVF, you should consult a doctor.
One of the most significant and common consequences for a woman after IVF is hyperstimulation syndrome . In order for the body to produce more high-quality eggs, patients are prescribed hormones in large doses (the so-called IVF protocol), which can cause the ovaries to increase in size and form cysts. This syndrome is characterized by the following manifestations:
In most cases, hyperstimulation syndrome occurs in mild or moderate form, which can be successfully treated on an outpatient basis. In severe cases, hospitalization may be required, primarily to prevent the development of complications, including:
Such serious consequences of ovarian stimulation before IVF develop rarely, their percentage of the total number of cases is about 9. This is primarily due to the patients’ late seeking of medical help, as well as the carelessness of the doctor, who did not promptly take into account the presence of risk factors (these include: , for example, polycystic ovary syndrome, low body weight, high estradiol activity).
In addition to hyperstimulation syndrome, other complications may occur during preparation for the procedure or immediately after it. The immediate consequences of IVF are well known; They are caused both by the characteristics of the body and by medical errors. Let's list the most common ones:
All these problems should be solved under the supervision of a doctor; in this case, it will be possible to reduce their negative impact on the body to a minimum.
Due to the fact that the IVF procedure is quite new both for medicine and for the patients themselves, it is surrounded by many myths. One of them is the influence of hormonal therapy and extreme stress on the body on the development of cancer of the ovaries, mammary glands, and uterus.
According to reproductive specialist Ivan Barinov, as a result of numerous studies conducted in clinics in Europe and the USA, it was found that in vitro conception does not affect the likelihood of cancer, the mechanisms of development of which have not yet been fully established. Researchers agree that cancers that occur in patients who have undergone IVF may be triggered by late labor rather than by the procedure itself.
Among the long-term consequences of IVF, patients’ reviews mention cardiomyopathy – a change in the heart muscle without pathologies of the valves and arteries. High doses of estrogen increase the permeability of vascular walls, which leads to weakening of the heart muscle. Overstimulation can also trigger the formation of cysts in the ovaries and the appearance of premature ovarian depletion syndrome .
Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome
Be that as it may, minimizing the likelihood of these IVF consequences occurring is the task, first of all, of the doctor who prescribes a preliminary examination, selects a protocol, and monitors the course of pregnancy and the woman’s health status.
Alcohol addiction is a serious chronic disease that develops gradually and often requires long-term step-by-step treatment. Alcoholism and its consequences for human health and society represent a complex problem on a national scale.
Alcohol addiction destroys not only the patient’s health, but also his personality. Alcoholism is one of the main causes of family breakdown, and also leads to crime, road accidents and accidents at home and at work.
The disease has several stages, the most dangerous of which is the critical (acute) second stage: at this stage, physical or even biochemical dependence joins psychological dependence on alcohol. Alcohol becomes a direct participant in intracellular processes, providing a stimulating and exciting effect.
At this stage, as a rule, binges caused by withdrawal occur - withdrawal syndrome. Binge drinking is dangerous because the patient is unable to stop the continuous consumption of alcohol on his own. Binges can last for weeks and sometimes months. In the acute stage of the disease, the entire life of an alcoholic essentially turns into a long binge with short breaks.
Alcoholism at the stage of physical addiction to alcohol causes serious problems of a physiological and psychological nature. Alcoholics may develop, develop, or worsen diseases such as:
Separately, we should talk about the effect of alcohol on the nervous system. Alcoholism causes necrosis of areas of the brain (sometimes quite extensive), which are the causes of various types of alcoholic psychoses. Patients may experience:
In addition, intoxication is often accompanied by partial loss of memory (so-called alcoholic palimpsests) and excessive stimulation of the nervous system. Alcoholics suffer from sleep disturbances, anxiety, fear in the hangover stage, and tremors.
The appearance of a person with a medical diagnosis of “alcoholism” is characteristic - as a rule, the patient looks much older than his age, has an unhealthy complexion, dull hair, red eyes, loose skin with a network of small vessels. Alcoholism has a particularly detrimental effect on the appearance of women - patients have a puffy appearance with signs of premature skin aging. Due to the characteristics of the body, female alcoholism develops faster than male alcoholism, causes more severe consequences and rapidly progresses to the chronic stage.
Alcoholism leads to the gradual degradation of the human personality: the patient loses basic moral qualities, loses spiritual and family values. The main purpose of such a person’s existence is alcohol intoxication: only in this state does the patient feel comfortable and confident.
The consequences of alcoholism for society are destructive - intoxication or withdrawal leads to:
Often alcoholics first change their job to a less qualified one, and then stop working altogether - in a state of constant hangover, this becomes impossible. Alcoholism forces you to look for easier ways to get money for alcohol - first, alcoholics withdraw finances from the family budget, borrow from relatives and friends, then they can turn to theft or other criminal methods of getting money.
Alcoholism and other types of addictions significantly complicate the life of society. Therefore, it is extremely important to take preventive measures to prevent the formation of addiction to alcohol in the younger generation, cultivating sports, creativity and other healthy ways to develop a full-fledged human personality.

1 “Flat feet. The reasons for its occurrence and consequences for the body” The work was completed by: 8B grade student Daria Sukhareva. Head: biology teacher Bekk Inna Viktorovna.
2 Purpose: to find out the causes and consequences of flat feet in humans. Objectives To become familiar with the types of flat feet and their consequences. Conduct monitoring in 8 classes. Find out the causes of its occurrence and methods of treatment.
3 Introduction “Whoever has not been sick does not know the value of health.” “Take care of honor from a young age, and health from childhood.” Quite often you hear: “He has flat feet...”, “You can’t wear these shoes, you’ll have flat feet...”, “They won’t take you into the army with flat feet...”, “Again, because of the flat feet, the legs are cramped...”, “Because of the flat feet. your back falls off and your head cracks,” etc. I was interested in this topic because I am interested in understanding the importance of a properly formed foot for the human body and what the connection is between the foot and headaches. How common is this disease among my peers and what rules should be followed to avoid harm to health.
4 Flatfoot Flatfoot is a disease of the human musculoskeletal system, which is characterized by a change or deformation of the shape of the foot. Congenital and acquired flat feet occur. The cause of congenital flatfoot is malformations of the foot in the prenatal period.
5 Reasons for the development of flat feet Excess weight Wearing poor-quality shoes (too soft or too hard soles, rubber shoes, too high a heel or lack thereof) Rickets and calcium and phosphorus metabolism disorders in a child Incorrectly healed fracture Prolonged bed rest in case of severe illnesses During puberty, hormonal changes adjustments cause long-term muscle spasm and can lead to flat feet Excessive joint mobility Lifting heavy objects (for example, when carrying younger brothers or sisters) Intensive ballet classes
6 Wearing the “wrong” shoes The modern market offers a great variety of shoe models, but the right choice does not become any less difficult. The wrong shoes can not only be uncomfortable, but also lead to serious diseases of the muscles, blood vessels of the legs and joints.
7 Types of flat feet With longitudinal flat feet, the entire surface of the foot is in contact with the floor, as a result of which the length of the foot increases. The main symptom of longitudinal flatfoot is a reduction in the distance between the inner edge of the foot and the floor surface. With longitudinal flatfoot, clubfoot develops, which leads to wear of the shoe along the entire length of the sole and heel on the inside. With transverse flatfoot, the length of the foot decreases as a result of divergence of the bones of the foot, deviation of the big toe outward and deformation of the middle toe, which takes on a hammer-like shape. A painful bone thickening in the form of a lump appears at the base of the thumb.
8 Consequences With flat feet, an important function of the foot is disrupted - shock absorption. As a result, the vibration of the body during walking and running is transmitted to the lower leg, hip joints, spine, etc. hip joints Prolonged irritation of the joints leads to their inflammation - arthrosis. arthrosis The effect of flat feet on the spine is the development of spinal curvature, or scoliosis, in children. curvature of the spine and scoliosis Symptoms of flat feet such as pain in the legs, fatigue, and headaches lead to decreased performance at school and subsequent loss of ability to work.
9 Monitoring in 8th grade In order to check your feet at home, you should wet your feet with water and stand on paper that easily absorbs water. The resulting print must be traced with a pencil and compared with the drawing of the correct foot. 8 "a" 8 "b" 8 "c"
11 The main goal of treatment for flat feet is to eliminate foot pain, strengthen the muscles and ligaments of the leg, and restore foot function. There are two main methods of treating flat feet: surgically (surgery) and conservatively. Conservative methods of treating flat feet include: therapeutic exercises, massage, foot baths, physiotherapy, wearing correct orthopedic shoes or insoles.
12 Prevention and treatment of flat feet. A set of exercises. Rolling on the floor with the feet of a rolling pin or small ball. A napkin is placed on the floor, which is offered to be crushed using the foot. The child is asked to collect with his toes and move objects scattered on the floor from place to place. Circular movements of the feet outward and inward. Standing on your toes, bring your heels together and spread them apart without lifting your toes from the floor. Grab the ball with both feet and lift it, holding it between your feet. Alternately walk on your toes, on your heels, and on the outer edges of your feet. Rolling from heel to toe. Walk on a ribbed surface (massage mat, sand, pebbles). massage mat Walking on a log, climbing a rope.
13 Conclusions and recommendations: The consequences of flat feet are: increased fatigue when standing and walking, pain and a feeling of stiffness in the calf muscles, increased pain in the hip and ankle joints, back and calf muscles, headaches at the end of the day, etc. Correcting flat feet is always more difficult than preventing them, so teenagers especially should wear the “correct” shoes, monitor their own weight, and avoid carrying heavy objects for long periods of time. When organizing and conducting gymnastic exercises, exercises for the prevention of flat feet should also be used. It should also be remembered that on the surface of the foot, as well as on the back of the palms, there are sensitive zones, the activation of which during various motor exercises, massage, and rubbing has a beneficial effect not only on the physiology of the foot, but also on the general condition of the body.
Which anesthetic will be chosen for pain relief depends on the type of surgery, the stage of the disease, and the experience of the anesthesiologist. Despite the numerous advantages, the consequences of anesthesia after surgery can be quite serious (in most cases it is impossible to predict in advance which anesthetic will be better). Therefore, before surgery, the patient is carefully examined for contraindications.
Advice: the success of the operation largely depends on the qualifications of the surgeon and anesthesiologist. Therefore, find out in advance which of the doctors in your hospital are considered the best.
General anesthesia often causes side effects such as:
General anesthesia during surgery often causes headaches. But most often it goes away on its own within a few hours.
In a third of all cases, general anesthesia provokes nausea. Therefore, after surgery, a person should not get out of bed or drink water or food for some time.
General anesthesia most often causes confusion in older people. This is manifested by memory deterioration and behavior different from usual. Typically, this side effect disappears as the body recovers.
A side effect of general anesthesia, such as dizziness, appears due to a decrease in blood pressure. This same side effect can be caused by dehydration.
Trembling is a side effect of general anesthesia that causes severe discomfort in a person. However, such a complication is not dangerous to the body. This side effect lasts only 20-30 minutes.
Itching is an adverse reaction of the body to anesthetics such as morphine. But itching can be a manifestation of an allergic reaction to medications, so it is best to immediately report its occurrence to your doctor.
A sore throat is a consequence that can disappear within a few hours after surgery or bother a person for several days. It can be mild, causing discomfort, or it can be severe and bother you when swallowing or talking.
Back pain can occur due to the fact that a person was in the same position for a long time during surgery. Complications of general anesthesia, such as muscle pain, often appear in young men. They are localized in the shoulders, neck, upper abdomen and can last for 2-3 days.
Which of the listed side effects will appear after surgery is not known in advance. It is best if the anesthesiologist tells the patient in advance about the most likely side effects and how they can be minimized.
General anesthesia can cause the following serious complications:
Advice: if the likelihood of developing severe complications is too high, you should refuse the operation.
Pulmonary infection is a serious consequence of general anesthesia. For smokers, in order to reduce the likelihood of its occurrence, it would be better to give up this bad habit 6 weeks before surgery.
Injury to the lips, tongue or teeth in children and adults is a rare consequence of general anesthesia. It can occur when a tube is inserted into the trachea (endotracheal anesthesia). To reduce the risk of its occurrence, it is best to visit a dentist before surgery and eliminate any existing problems with your teeth or gums.
Nerve damage results in numbness, pain or tingling, and paralysis. It can appear in a small area of the body or over a large area (which area may be affected is difficult to say in advance) and can last up to a year.
Anaphylaxis is a severe allergic reaction to medications. According to statistics, 5% of cases of anaphylaxis are fatal, despite the fact that doctors do everything possible to save the patient.
The use of anesthetics may cause damage to the cornea. This complication arises due to the fact that during general anesthesia the eyelids do not close completely. As a result, the cornea dries out, the eyelid sticks to it, and when the eye opens, damage appears on the cornea.
The probability that an operation will result in death due to complications of anesthesia is 1 in 100,000 cases, provided that the patient is relatively healthy
Brain damage is a complication that affects older people. Brain damage occurs as a result of a stroke provoked by anesthetics against the background of a general poor condition of the body. The likelihood of this complication increases when surgery is performed on the neck, heart, or brain.
A rather unpleasant complication of general anesthesia is the return of consciousness to the patient during surgery. As a result, some episodes of the surgical intervention remain in his memory, which can cause psychological trauma.
Before anesthesia is given, the patient is carefully examined for any contraindications to it. These include:
General anesthesia during pregnancy should be used strictly according to indications
Anesthesia for epilepsy (the most common neurological disease) has some features. A serious complication of intravenous or any other type of anesthesia is the development of seizures (the probability of occurrence is 2%). However, it is impossible to determine which drug is better, since seizures can occur regardless of the drug.
Any types of anesthesia during pregnancy (total intravenous anesthesia, anesthesia through a mask or local anesthesia) are done only if something threatens the life of the mother or child. It was found that if anesthesia was performed during pregnancy, then the likelihood of developing pathologies in the fetus for this reason is comparable to the likelihood of developing such pathologies in pregnant women who were not exposed to anesthetics.
In children, the following are contraindications for anesthesia that completely turns off consciousness:
It is worth noting that the presence of all types of contraindications in children and adults is neglected if the operation must be performed for emergency reasons or during the progression of an oncological disease, when it comes to saving the patient’s life.
General anesthesia allows for painless surgery. It is difficult to predict in advance which anesthetic is best to use, which will be easily tolerated by the patient, and which will cause severe complications.
Onychomycosis or fungal infection of the nails is a fairly common infectious disease that occurs due to the contact of pathogenic strains of fungi on human skin. It is generally accepted that nail fungus has no consequences for the body as a whole. Many people believe that onychomycosis is a purely aesthetic problem.
Actually this is not true. Mycosis of the skin and nails is a source of infection that can cause sensitization (hypersensitivity) of the body. If you do not treat nail fungus for a long time, the disease becomes severe and poses a fairly serious threat to human health. Toxic waste products of fungi (xanthomegnin, penicillin, antibiotic-like substances, viomellein) can cause the development of severe somatic diseases, such as drug-induced toxicoderma, hepatopathy, Lyell's syndrome.
In most cases, complications of fungal nail infections occur in adults, and the risk of their occurrence increases with age. Thus, nail fungus, which has quite serious consequences for the body, is often observed in elderly people, people with weakened immune systems, patients with ichthyosis, Kaposi's sarcoma, diabetes mellitus, and cancer patients.
Onychomycosis can be caused by several types of pathogenic fungi. In medicine, they are usually divided into three main groups.
The first group is Trichophyton rubrum (dermatophytes), affecting the nails and skin of the feet and hands; Trichophytonmentagrophytes, localized on the little fingers and big toes, as well as on the skin between the middle and ring fingers; Epidermophytonfloccosum, causing damage to the nail plates of the 1st and 5th toes. Most often (up to 95% of all cases) these strains cause nail fungus. The consequences for the body can be minimized with timely treatment of the fungal disease.
The second group includes yeast fungi of the genus Candida spp. When they come into contact with the feet or hands, these microorganisms first affect the interdigital folds, the skin on the tips of the fingers, and only then penetrate the nail plate.
Fungi of the third group, Fusarium and Alternaria (molds), cause fungal nail disease much less frequently. Most often, people with immunodeficiency are susceptible to diseases of this type.
Men are much more at risk of infection with fungal pathologies than women. The risk group also includes people who work in wet areas (bath attendants), athletes, military personnel, miners, people who often visit saunas, swimming pools, gyms, etc. In children, cases of fungal nail infection are extremely rare.
The symptoms of onychomycosis caused by one or another type of pathogen are generally of a similar nature. However, there are some differences in the manifestations and development of fungal diseases, which makes it possible to divide nail fungus into 4 forms:
1. Distal lateral onychomycosis (subungual) is the most common form of pathology. In the nail bed, the fungus enters from the skin through the edge of the nail plate and spreads down to the matrix. Hyperkeratosis occurs, the nail plate gradually peels off and takes on a yellowish or whitish color. The nail may become rough and thick. The added bacterial contamination can change the color of the nail to green or dirty brown.
2. White onychomycosis (superficial) is characterized by the formation of individual white spots on the surface of the nail plate, which merge as the disease progresses. The nail becomes dystrophic, crumbles, and the color of the plate becomes gray or brown. The matrix and epithelium of the bed are not affected in this form of the disease. There is no inflammatory process on the skin around the nail.
3. Proximal onychomycosis (subungual) is very rare. The fungus penetrates the nail plate from the periungual fold or from the skin, spreading down to the matrix and distal parts of the nail. As a result, the nail plate completely peels off from the bed. When a bacterial infection occurs, the nail plate changes color.
4. Total dystrophic nail fungus is a complication of distal lateral or proximal onychomycosis. This form of nail fungus has the most severe consequences for the body. All parts of the nail are affected, as a result of which its complete destruction occurs, the periungual ridge is either greatly thickened or completely absent. Even after treatment, a normal nail plate cannot form on the affected finger.
In conclusion, it should be noted that the consequences for the body when nail fungus occurs, among other things, are that onychomycosis is almost never isolated. This means that if infection occurs, the disease spreads not only to the nails, but also to the skin of the feet, hands, scalp, and smooth skin of the body.
If infection cannot be avoided, treatment of nail fungus should be started immediately!
Despite its apparent simplicity, caries is a complex and dangerous disease. Without timely treatment, it threatens complete loss of teeth - affecting the enamel, the disease gradually penetrates deep into the tooth, affecting dentin and causing its complete destruction. If the disease is not treated at this stage of development, the lesion can penetrate very deep into the tooth and cause serious complications. Let's take a closer look at why dental caries are dangerous and what the consequences can be without proper treatment.
Caries is insidious because at first it does not cause serious concern on the part of the person. At an early stage, it does not cause concern and the patient gets the impression that the disease is not serious. And only when the affected tooth begins to hurt, most people turn to the dentist for help. And treating the consequences in an advanced stage is much more difficult than curing initial caries.
The disease is characterized by a complete absence of symptoms that warn of its development. The patient may be completely sincerely unaware of the presence of the disease. Only an experienced doctor can detect caries in the early stages. Therefore, it is important to follow the recommendations of dentists and visit the doctor at least 1-2 times a year.
So, what unpleasant consequences can caries lead to if left untreated:
In the article, we did not set ourselves the goal of scaring you with the possible consequences of caries. We were just trying to warn you and explain how dangerous caries really is. We hope that our article helped you make the right decision and see a dentist, even if nothing is bothering you at the moment.
