Some hair loss cures fall into the categories of getting a transplant or using some sort of drug whether it’s in a pill form or a medicine you rub on your scalp.

Hair Transplantation - Transplants have come a long way and are more successful in terms of the way your hair looks when the procedure is completed. With the transplants done today, there is no more of that “doll hair look.”

Even though transplants are successful and are virtually impossible for anyone to detect, they are also very expensive, time consuming, and painful. Getting a hair transplant is one of the more “extreme” hair loss cures that you could do and would only suggest to go with this option as a last resort.

Drugs - There are many hair loss drugs out there, but so far there are only two that are approved by the FDA. These two drugs are Minoxidil (found in Rogaine) and Finasteride (found in Propecia). Both drugs are known to successfully regrow hair but also come with some unpleasant side effects.

The other problem with taking these drugs is that once you stop taking the medicine, you will soon start to see the results of hair regrowth disappear. So basically this means that you will have to keep taking the drug in order for your hair to grow back and stay which can also be quite expensive as well.

Natural Hair Loss Cures - Using natural cures seems to be another remedy that has attracted many people to regrow their lost hair. The techniques and homemade remedies that can be applied are known to be safe (without experiencing any pain or side effects), effective, and simple to implement.

There are guides available that will teach you the ways in how to use these natural hair loss cures and explain why they are used. These natural hair loss cures also work very similar as if you were to take a drug alternative but without side effects and the high costs. These methods are fairly cheap and many of the ingredients that are used to make the remedies can be found right at home.

When you want to know what happens during the teeth whitening process, you have to consider the difference between home teeth whitening kits and going to the dentist. When you use the at-home teeth whitening systems, you can usually only whiten your teeth a few shades because some home teeth whitening systems contain less than 10% of the whitening agent carbamide peroxide. By comparison, dentists tend to use solutions that contain between 15% and 35% peroxide.

What happens during the teeth whitening process at the dentist office starts with an abrasive cleansing, typically with a pumice to “etch” the teeth enamel, which makes the bleaching agent, carbamide peroxide absorb into the surface of the teeth much easier. They will put a rubber barrier over your gums to protect them from the chemicals and then apply the peroxide whitening gel to your teeth to start bleaching the teeth. This process normally takes around 30 to 40 minutes.

In some cases, what happens during the teeth whitening process after the peroxide gel is applied is that a laser might be used to speed the bleaching action, which is where you will tend to see a blue, neon glow from the laser light during the process. During the whitening process the enamel surface is weakened so that the bleaching agent can reach the discolored stains that have penetrated the enamel of the teeth and reached the underlying dentin level.

While your enamel surface might be quite porous before the process, what happens during the teeth whitening process makes it much more sensitive to the cold or hot foods and beverages you might drink. For this reason, some people have opted for the home teeth whitening kits. With less after effects and sensitivity you can enjoy a brighter smile without any of the pain. In the majority of cases, this sensitivity fades after a few days, regardless of whether you opt for home teeth whitening kits or to have the procedure done at a cosmetic dentist.

Regardless of which method you chose, what happens during the teeth whitening process remains the same, although as previously mentioned, the effect (and side effects) of which are slightly different in each instance. You have to keep in mind that you can change your teeth color by eight shades in one session at the dentist office, while that might be the most you can expect from most home teeth whitening kits. What happens during the teeth whitening process at the dentist office is a little more advanced than the principles used with home teeth whitening kits, but it can be a matter of personal choice and budget.

It is considerably more money to have the procedure done at a cosmetic dentist. It is important to realise that what happens during the teeth whitening process is only a temporary fix because if you drink coffee and fruit juices, smoke or do anything else that can stain your teeth and want to maintain the same level of whiteness in your teeth, you will have to repeat the process with some regularity.

There are four good reasons you should consider using a home teeth whitening kit instead of going to your dentist for this procedure. Many people are worried about the brightness of their smile and it can affect their confidence levels, which is why it is so important to some to ensure that they always have the perfect smile. However there are two choices available to anybody looking to explore teeth whitening; go to your usual dentist or buy a kit and do it yourself at home.

The first of the four reasons to use a home teeth whitening kit is the price, obviously. When you consider that it can be much cheaper to whiten your teeth at home, most people will opt for this. Particularly as the application is extremely safe and is straightforward, assuming you have a good kit of course. Some people can have a difficult time whitening their own teeth at home because they don’t buy the proper home teeth whitening kit so this is important to research. Price definitely tops the list of the four reasons to use a home teeth whitening kit because you can save large amounts of money doing it yourself as compared with having your dentist so it.

The second of the four reasons to use a home teeth whitening kit is the convenience. You don’t have to worry about scheduling an appointment at the dentist and you can whiten your teeth at home while you are reading a book or doing other household tasks. For those that like the convenience of using a home teeth whitening kit to whiten their teeth, going to the dentist not only costs money, but can mean spending hours in a waiting room. If your time is precious, or you have difficulty getting to your local dental practice, then alternatives are available.

Believe it or not, the third of the four reasons to use a home teeth whitening kit is because they are milder. While you can enjoy eight shades lighter in a single session of teeth whitening at the dentist, many feel this is too drastic of a change and they don’t like the strength of the whitener, which can make teeth more sensitive to the cold or hot. When you want a gradual improvement that isn’t as damaging to the enamel of your teeth, this is one of the four reasons to use a home teeth whitening kit that you should consider.

For those that aren’t sold on the other three of the four reasons to use a home teeth whitening kit, the final reason might be more convincing. When you want a brighter smile without the expense, without the time commitments of having your teeth whitened in the dentist office, and using milder chemical treatments, you might decide the final of the four reasons to use a home teeth whitening kit makes the most sense-fewer hassles with great results.

You should do it because you can enjoy all of the benefits of a white smile without the chemical harshness, hassles and expense. The simplicity and effectiveness of home use, combined with all the reasons stated above have helped popularise this practice. Today it is almost as simple as dyeing your hair, it is completely safe and highly effective. If you’re not confident, the dentist is always there as an alternative; but there really is no need to fret.

First things first there is no 5 minute way to get rid of acne. To properly remove acne it must be attacked directly from the root. The perfect cure for acne is already in your body. Yes that’s right; your body produces the necessary chemicals needed to cure acne. I’m sure most places where you read this topic they will never tell you this.

Homemade remedies may work but will not be long lasting. They help remove or temporarily “hide” acne but would depend on the level of acne you have. If you don’t have full blown acne then this may be useful to you, if not then refrain from trying any of these homemade remedies. The most effective way to rid yourself of this annoying acne is by focusing on the root. Stopping the toxins from building up in the body will drastically help your cause. Having these toxins build up in your body allows the excess toxins to excrete through the skin, this will in turn cause your pores to be clogged and will allow bacteria to multiply and produce spots. So before making any decisions on what to get you must first analyze your body and see what is causing these toxins to build up. It can be many things such as your diet, the environment where you live, hormones or even metals from fillings. Another great tip is to do a bit of research in improving your kidneys and liver so that they filter better.

It is always good to visit a dermatologist, some can be extremely helpful but others tend to just recommend some sort of antibiotics which basically do nothing. On the negative side many of these antibiotics and other drugs that they may recommend can cause various side effects. While some of these may do a temporary job in removing your acne they in turn will disrupt your internal flora that helps maintain the buildup of bacteria and spots. It all really depends on the level of acne you have. Some cases have been reported to have gotten worst after these antibiotics. Maybe it’s best to hold off on this for a while or unless really necessary.

Many ex acne patients have given their story of having acne for years and have tried everything that was recommend but never got anywhere due to lack of knowledge. If your acne is a serious problem for you then take the necessary time to learn about how your body produces acne and from where does it originate. Don’t just buy some drugs and slap it on your face, this is no way to get rid of a problem. All that is needed is the ability to identify what causes the toxins to buildup and what solutions can be sued to attack the acne from the roots; from there it’s basically downhill. In no time you will be able to see clean results, no more looking into the mirror and feel that you’re in a horror movie.

This is great news for those who love spring, but a catch-22 for those who suffer from seasonal allergies. The good news is that there is natural relief for allergy sufferers- and that relief need not be temporary. It helps to relieve symptoms such as itchy/watery eyes, congestion, headaches and fatigue, and it brings the body into balance so that it can better defend itself against allergens. Acupuncture is an effective, safe and natural aid in the fight against seasonal allergies.

Many allergy symptoms are located above the neck, that is, in the head. This is an indication that energy is not flowing smoothly from the head into the rest of the body, and vice versa. How does acupuncture treat the symptoms of seasonal allergies? This can be done locally or generally. All the yang meridians flow from the head down to the feet, or from the hands up to the head. Your local Asheville NC acupuncture practitioner can open those channels in the neck and shoulders and allow the energy to flow. In the course of local treatment, small, sterile needles are placed directly on points where symptoms are especially active - like the head or side of the nose - allowing the “congested” energy to free up and dissipate.

Acupuncturists treat very specifically and individually, making sure the underlying cause of allergies are cleared. Your Asheville acupuncture specialist will address the root causes of your allergies by doing a complete inventory and assessment of your whole self. This is the main benefit of acupuncture: bringing a person into balance so that the body may heal itself of physical, mental and emotional ailments - which is not incomprehensible when you think about how they’re all interrelated aspects of the self. When the body is fully in balance, symptoms disappear and health is restored.

These are easy steps to take that don’t cost a lot of money or effort. In other words, nearly anyone can… Aside from receiving acupuncture, Asheville NC or wherever you know of a practitioner, there are some other natural approaches to boosting the immune system and being rid of allergies.

• eat local, seasonal foods and more raw foods than you usually would, especially in the warmer months.

• take a regular multivitamin/mineral supplement year round.

• Eat local honey and bee pollen- test the pollen first by having a tiny granule to make sure you don’t have a reaction. The local honey and bee pollen is made from pollen of local flowers, so when you’re exposed to that later, your immune system will not see it as an invader and try to attack it, causing allergy symptoms.

• try a homeopathic allergy remedy. Homeopathic medicine works by matching the vibration of your symptoms to a particular remedy. When the vibrations match, they cancel the symptoms out and improve overall health.

Many people are addicted to smoking weed. Well, this is no ordinary weed for it can become an addiction and it can bring harm to the body. So, what is this ‘weed’ that I am referring here? The weed that most people use in smoking, which is addictive, is known as ‘Cannabis’. It is a specie of a plant that can make people high. Popularly, this is known as ‘marijuana’ or what others call ‘Mary-j’.

While it is true that marijuana have medical benefits but if it is used abusively, it can cause harm to the body. It must not be used without any medical guidance by a medical professional. Because of the thought that it has medical benefits, others have a misconception about it. These people think that it is just like a certain form of tobacco. Tobacco and marijuana have similarities, though. One example is that, both can be addictive. But there should be something else that we should know about the two.

Both can be harmful to the body. Smoking marijuana and tobacco can destroy the health of the smoker and the people who can smell its smoke. However, marijuana has more disastrous effect because it can destroy the cells in your brain. No wonder why some people will hallucinate because of it and will even think that they can fly or they are in heaven. Also, a person addicted to marijuana is always confused and will always have panic reactions. A person’s self-esteem will be surely lowered because of this. Thus, it has more bad effects than the good ones.

Also, smoking marijuana can cause the dreaded lung cancer. You may not feel the bad effects instantly but eventually, you will surely suffer. Your health will surely suffer. You can have difficulty remembering stuff. So, if you want a healthier life, then NOW is the best time to stop smoking weed.

A person addicted to marijuana will find it very hard to quit it. Considering the withdrawal symptoms will make it harder. For example a person may suffer from insomnia during the withdrawal process. But if you are very determined to have a better and healthier life, you will find it easy to quit smoking marijuana.

If you don’t want to die at an early age, or suffer from any health difficulties then stop smoking marijuana. What you feel when you smoke is just temporary. But what you will feel when you stop will be permanent. You may feel high and happy temporarily but it will not end there.

Some things may be hard but nothing is impossible. Just be determined to stop. Find motivations to stop. Plan the actions that you must take in order to stop smoking weed. Learn from others who have successfully stopped smoking marijuana. This can be your strategy. Be humble enough to ask other people’s health. Consult professionals who specialize in helping people to quit marijuana. Remember to put into action your plan and strategies. By these you will surely succeed and will have a cleansed healthy life.

If you are suffering from Alzheimers Disease, Parkinson’s, Motor Neuron Disease, Multiple Sclerosis, RSI or Lupus, then I’ve got some news for you.

Do you know anyone who has Allergic Reactions, Asthma, Depressions, Muscle Disease, Diabetes Liver disease or Spinal Cord Injuries?

Then listen up!

Have you ever heard your doctor say to you: “We’ve done all we can do… we could try increasing your intake of medicine and see what that would do, but basically that is all”.

Do you have the feeling that you have been put in God’s waiting room?

Well, there is now hope for sufferers of these disorders and diseases. It’s called: Adult stem cell therapy. Adult stem cells are your OWN. Embryonic stem cells are somebody else’s so cause more risk of being rejected.

Science teaches us: The more stem cells are circulating in your blood stream, the greater the chance for a healthy body.

Stem cells are your body’s repair kit. Your body is constantly repairing itself, but when you are suffering from a degenerative disease, stem cells are not produced anymore in the numbers they should be. So, a catch 22 is taking place… less stem cells means less repair and less repair means becoming sicker.

If you want to be healthy, you need an optimal functioning immune system. If your immune system is damaged, your body cannot defend itself against diseases and you are more vulnerable to becoming sick.

Stem cells LOVE repairing immune systems. When they are released from the bone marrow into the blood stream, the first thing they do is check the immune system and make sure that it is working properly.

When they have checked the immune system and brought it to a healthy stage, they start looking for other damaged tissue or organs and begin repairing them.

Adult stem cells can transform themselves into virtually any cell in the body. If they find damaged heart cells, the replace them with healthy heart cells. If they find damaged liver cells, they replace them with healthy liver cells. Etc. etc.

So if you have a constant stream of fresh stem cells circulating in your body you may become healthy again. This theory is backed up by science.

But what if your body doesn’t produce enough stem cells? Wouldn’t it be logical to help it a little to get it up to scratch?

Recent studies have shown that the consumption of a product called Colostrum can assist in the production of adult stem cells. Colostrum has been used by sporting people to produce extra energy and by body builders to produce more muscle for ages already but scientists now have discovered that it also assists with the production of adult s t e m cells.

There are now reports of Arthritis sufferers getting permanent pain relief. Parkinson’s sufferers see their symptoms reduced by up to 90% and even MS sufferers have improved so much that they could walk again after having been wheelchair bound for years.

So if you have Scleroderma, Shingles, Stress or Stroke. If you are suffering (or know anybody who is) from High Blood Pressure, HIV/AIDS, Cystic Fibrosis or Fibromyalgia, then I urge you to start surfing the internet in order to find more information about, what in my opinion is the greatest medical discovery ever: adult stem cell therapy.

There are websites with lots of free information. In fact, adult stem cell therapy has proven to be beneficial to sufferers of over 100 diseases. You may well find that there is hope for you too!

Join the Adult Stem Cell Foundation for free and enjoy all the information they are sharing about this therapy. You don’t have to suffer from your degenerative disease symptoms. Do like thousands have done. Read the information on Stem Cell Enhancing Products, by clicking here

Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic medical condition wherein healthy tissues in the joints and cartilages are attacked by white blood cells. This causes pain and inflammation, making people afflicted with it having to go through fatigue and stiffness of the joints for the rest of their lives.

If you have rheumatoid arthritis, the best thing that you can do is to make the best of what you have and control it. Fortunately, there are tips to manage the pain and discomfort brought about by its symptoms.

Tips to Manage Rheumatoid Arthritis

- Modify your lifestyle. You may have been living on the edge without a thought for the consequences, but it’s never too late to start living healthy. If you are overweight, it may be a factor that contributes to the joint pressure and hence, more pain. The goal of lessening the pain could be a good motivation for losing weight. It does not mean skipping meals altogether or going on a crash diet, but choosing the right food to eat and maintaining a balanced diet.

- Anti-inflammatory drugs are a clinically-certified way to manage rheumatoid arthritis. You could opt for ibuprofen, aspirin or naproxen. These drugs control the pain by minimizing the inflammation. But be cautious when dealing with arthritis drugs. Do not take any of them without the doctor’s advice. If you are prone to heart problems or bleeding in your gastrointestinal tract, these medications will only increase that chance. A better alternative without these side effects is acetaminophen.

- Stretching is always beneficial, whether or not you are prone to arthritis. Yoga is recommended. It enhances flexibility which makes your joints and limbs less prone to stiffness. Because of your condition, you may feel a little pain or discomfort. Stop whenever this happens and hold that particular position for about 30 seconds and proceed. Also start with easier stretches and gradually go for more advanced ones as you gain flexibility. A sudden jump to advanced positions might just pull your muscles or cause cramps. You can start with three sets with eight to ten repetitions.

- Other forms of exercise such as weight lifting and mild aerobics also have their benefits. They can help to reduce the symptoms of mild arthritis. If you have a gym or exercise instructor, he can give you tips in the right regimen. Lifting weights also adds to your strength and balance. You can start with regular stretching or aerobics and eventually move to weights. Lift these slowly and not too suddenly, or you will be dealing more damage to your body than helping it. Rest when you have to- you will eventually gain endurance as you go. You will be better equipped to manage your disease when you make this a regular part of your routine.

- There are alternative therapies that you could try. Water therapy, Tai Chi, and many other non-clinical methods might actually have something to them. Ask your physician before you try any of these. He might not believe in their benefits, but you also have to make sure that they are not going to cause you any harm.

- You could also try psyche-based ways of managing pain, such as meditation or guided imagery. You may not always have medications at hand, but you can train yourself to endure the pain.

Don’t limit yourself to the tips given, but try to learn all you can about managing the disease. You can ask for advice from friends or family members who are also afflicted, and who have tried methods that work for them. Also, you can consult your doctor for reference. The more you know about your condition, the more you will be familiar with the things you can do as well as the things you should avoid.

If you are considering getting a vasectomy reversal, there are concerns that have already come your to mind about the procedure. You’ll be surprised at some of the concerns your wife may have that you didn’t expect. Here are some of the common questions wives have about their husband’s upcoming vasectomy reversal which YOU can learn from, too!

1. Is This Painful?

She knows how you felt after your vasectomy, so her concerns about the reversal are of course warranted. What she doesn’t know is that vasectomy reversal is often recommended for men who have discomfort chronically after a vasectomy. That fullness or pressure you may feel in your testicles could actually be relieved with a vasectomy reversal. Typically the recovery from a normal vasectomy reversal differs from a vasectomy because vigorous activity is limited to give the repair time to heal. Pain and swelling is often similar to the vasectomy, and many men say it was actually less painful than the original procedure.

2. Will he be able to get me pregnant?

Most men will have sperm present in the semen after a vasectomy reversal. Not everyone has enough sperm to get their wives pregnant, however. In addition, the sperm count will change with time - initially increasing and in some cases then decreasing as the point of joining of the ends of the vas can scar down.

3. Is this expensive?

For most families who want to have children after a vasectomy, a reversal is the least expensive option. It is typically cheaper than adoption and in-vitro fertilization (IVF).

4. Is it dangerous?

Any surgery carries some risk, and vasectomy reversal is no different. Bruising and swelling are very typical of this procedure. It is uncommon that the swelling is so dramatic that it needs to be drained. Infection is rare when proper surgical technique is followed. Some underlying health problems could increase these risks, however, so be sure to tell your reversal specialist!

5. Will this fix / cause erectile dysfunction?

There is some confusion about the effects of vasectomy on ability of the penis to function normally. There should be no effects impotence from either a vasectomy or vasectomy reversal. The testicles are making testosterone regardless of the status of the vas (the tube which is cut or blocked during a vasectomy). The only difference in sexual function may be an increase of semen (ejaculate) volume after a successful vasectomy reversal.

6. Is there another option?

Adoption or the use of another man’s sperm by artificial insemination is always an option, but to have your child be biologically related to you there has to be sperm collected from you somehow. A small amount of sperm suitable for IVF can be obtained by aspiration from the scrotum with a needle, but this may need to be repeated if multiple cycles of IVF is required.

7. When will I get pregnant?

Even if you return to your pre-vasectomy fertility, your wife has to be fertile as well. The fertility of women decreases much more quickly than men with age, and this is often a factor in whether a pregnancy results from this procedure. Make sure before you submit to having a reversal done that your wife’s physician has cleared her for pregnancy and isn’t aware of a reason she might be infertile.

Your wife undoubtedly has more questions than just these. To help her become comfortable with the decision and the procedure, have her discuss his concerns with a vasectomy reversal physician. You should both attend the pre-procedure consulation. The physician should be able to give her the information needed to help both of you decide if a vasectomy reversal is the right thing for your family. If your wife is uncomfortable asking those questions, she may prefer for you to email or call the physician’s office for answers.

Blood flows between your left atrium and left ventricle through the mitral valve (MV). Normally, the sinoatrial node produces electrical impulses that travel through the atria (your heart’s upper chambers) before reaching the ventricles (the lower chambers). The impulses trigger contractions. As the left atrium contracts, blood is sent through the mitral valve. The valve opens and allows blood to flow through, then closes to prevent backflow from the ventricle.

The MV can malfunction by narrowing (called stenosis) or leaking (referred to as regurgitation). Both problems can be caused by congenital defects, disease, or rheumatic fever. A regurgitant mitral valve may also be caused by coronary artery disease. Below, we’ll take a look at mitral valve repair for both stenosis and regurgitation. We’ll also explain why repairing the valve is usually preferable to replacing it.

How Narrowing Is Resolved

Mitral stenosis, whether due to a congenital defect or rheumatic fever, is characterized by the valve’s flaps (or leaflets) being fused together. Because the opening between the atrium and ventricle is narrowed, the atrium is forced to work harder than it should to propel blood into the ventricle. The condition is not immediately life-threatening, but can eventually lead to heart failure.

When the MV suffers stenosis, a procedure called mitral commissurotomy can be performed. It can be done through open surgery (i.e. cutting through the breastbone) or by catheterization. In the latter case, a balloon is affixed to a catheter which is threaded to the mitral valve. Once the catheter arrives at the site, the balloon is inflated and stretches the valvular opening.

How Regurgitation Is Resolved

Regurgitation is more common than stenosis. It is often due to a cleft in the valve (also called leaflet prolapse). Because the valve fails to completely seal the opening between the left atrium and left ventricle, blood can leak from one chamber to the other (in both directions). In many cases, the cleft can simply be sewn closed, thereby resolving the leakage.

Another approach is annuloplasty. The valve’s leaflets are naturally attached to the heart by a ring-shaped annulus. Annuloplasty is a procedure during which a surgeon positions a synthetic ring around the annulus to provide support for the leaflets.

Advantages Of Repairing Over Replacing

There are circumstances in which the mitral valve is so defective or damaged that it cannot be repaired. In such cases, it must be replaced. That said, whenever possible, a surgeon will recommend repairing the valve over replacing it. There are many advantages to doing so.

For example, there is less likelihood of infection or stroke due to the absence of foreign material. There is also no need for anticoagulants, which must be taken by the patient when a replacement valve is used. Moreover, the survival rate among patients who undergo mitral valve repair is higher than the survival rate for those who receive replacements.

Mitral valve repair surgery is an effective approach for resolving stenosis or regurgitation. While valvular defects rarely present immediate danger to a patient’s life, the surgery can provide an improved lifestyle.

Find the right doctor for mitral valve repair or atrial fibrillation. Early diagnosis can lead to successful results.

In 1987, Dr. James Cox developed a surgical method called the maze procedure for treating patients who suffer from atrial fibrillation (Afib). This is a type of arrhythmia. Normally, electrical impulses are generated by a group of cells called the sinoatrial node. These impulses spread throughout the heart’s upper and lower chambers (i.e. atria and ventricles, respectively) and cause them to contract. They work in unison, which makes it possible for your heart to pump blood effectively.

With Afib, the impulses are generated elsewhere and spread throughout the upper chambers in a disorganized pattern. This causes the upper chambers to fibrillate out of sync with the ventricles. As a result, the heart becomes less capable of pumping blood.

If you suffer from atrial fibrillation, maze surgery may be a viable option. This article will describe what you can expect before and after the operation.

Preparing For The Operation

Your doctor will want you to make an appointment one or two weeks prior to the surgery. This is the time during which he or she will inform you about the procedure, recovery, and returning to your regular routine afterward. You will likely have an opportunity to meet the surgical team, including the surgeon and anesthesiologist.

The night prior to surgery, you should avoid eating or drinking. You can then check yourself into the hospital the following day. Your chest will be shaved and cleaned while your heart will be monitored. Then, you’ll receive a general anesthesia to put you to sleep before the maze procedure begins.

Maze surgery usually takes a couple of hours and possibly less if the surgeon is performing the operation with a minimally invasive approach.

Recovering In The Hospital

After the operation has been finished, you’ll be transferred to the intensive care unit (ICU) where you’ll remain for up to two days. During your stay there, your physician will want to monitor your heart and other vital signs. Breathing tubes and related equipment will be connected and a catheter will be inserted to preclude the need to use the restroom.

The breathing tubes are typically removed after several hours. You’ll be transferred from the ICU into a general recovery ward where your doctor and nurses can continue to observe your progress. After five to seven days, if there are no complications, you will be released from the hospital.

Recovering At Home

The length of your at-home recovery period depends upon a few factors. Your health prior to undergoing maze surgery plays a role. So too, does the surgeon’s approach (i.e. minimally invasive versus open heart surgery). Most patients can recover within six to eight weeks, and return to their normal routine a few weeks later.

While recovering at home, you’ll need to be diligent about taking any medications prescribed by your surgeon. You should also make sure the incision and the skin surrounding the area is cleaned on a regular basis. You will likely feel some degree of soreness as the area heals. That’s normal and will subside with time.

Your doctor will encourage you to adopt a healthy diet and mild exercise routine in order to rehabilitate your heart. Follow-up appointments will include a physical test to monitor your heart’s strength and identify any risks that might present a problem down the road.

Returning To Your Normal Activities

Within three months, you should be able to return to work and participate in your normal activities. It’s worth noting that one in three patients will experience a recurrence of atrial fibrillation after undergoing the maze procedure. Your doctor may prescribe medications to lessen the symptoms. Gradually (within a year), your heart will adopt a normal rhythm.

Atrial fibrillation is not always dangerous. It can often be managed by medications. That said, if you feel the condition is impacting your quality of life, consult your doctor regarding whether the maze procedure is an appropriate treatment path.

Find the right doctor for maze procedure treatments or mitral valve surgery. Early diagnosis can lead to successful results.
