Ear Blockage / Wax Blockage

Ear blockage is usually caused by the build up of ear wax, though infection, inflammation, foreign bodies, and tumors might also be possible reasons. 'Cleaning' the ear with external objects often pushes the wax deep into the ears and causes wax blockage of the ears.

This online group on ear blockage or wax blockage will help you meet doctors and other parents and find solutions that suit your child.

Eclampsia

Till date, the cause of eclampsia remains unknown. Yet, it has been understood that if pre-eclampsia is not controlled, it can lead to eclampsia. Though very few cases of eclampsia are reported in India, a high risk of pre-eclampsia is usually associated with pregnant women who are too young (teenage) or too old (over 40 years of age), and in women with hypertension or kidney disease, among others.

Every pregnant woman must keep herself informed about the dangers of eclampsia, especially in a first-time pregnancy. For more details on the condition and its prevention, join our support group today.

Ectopic Pregnancy

The word "ectopic" means "out of place". An ectopic pregnancy is a pregnancy where the fetus, instead of growing in the uterine cavity, occurs in a number of unusual locations, such as the fallopian tubes.

Egg Donation

Egg donation refers to the process by which a woman donates her eggs for assisted reproduction for another woman. The eggs are then fertilized in vitro and the embryo implanted in the egg recipient.

Endometrial cancer is any cancer that begins in the lining of the uterus (endometrium). It is one of the commonest gynecological cancers, and it is usually treated with a hysterectomy or a surgical removal of the uterus.

Meet other women who have gone through - or are going through - endometrial cancer, and their families and doctors, through this online support group for endometrial cancer.

Endometriosis

Endometriosis (from endo, "inside", and metra, "womb") is a medical condition in women in which endometrial cells are deposited in areas outside the uterine cavity.

Environmental Birth Defects

Some birth defects are caused by factors in the environment of the fetus or the mother. These can include things like a rubella infection, which are difficult to control, and maternal alcohol abuse, which are totally preventable. Exposure to certain drugs, radiation, and diseases can cause environmental birth defects in the baby.
