Gallstones: Causes, Treatment and Prevention

The gall is a small 'bag' positioned immediately beneath the liver. It has the role of storing the bile secreted by the liver. Bile helps digest fat and is eliminated from the system in the small intestine through channels called bile ducts.

Gallstones are composed of cholesterol and other constituents found in the bile. At size, they may be smaller than a grain or larger than a golf ball. The vast majority of these gallstones do not pose problems but if they block an excretory channel, they need treatment.

Gallstones: Causes

They occur when cholesterol and the constituents of the bile crystallize, forming hard stones in the bile. Gallstones occur when there is too much cholesterol in the bile or when the gall function is altered.

The vast majority of physicians believe that including microscopic calculi may cause the symptoms. These small stones can lead to the formation of a sediment called 'biliary sludge' which can often be highlighted in the abdominal ultrasound examination.

Gallstones: Symptoms

The most common symptom of gallstones is pain in the epigastric area (stomach area) and upper right part of the abdomen, right under the ribs, medically called medical 'right hippocampus'.

Pain may have the following characteristics:

l  Appears suddenly in the upper abdomen and may extend into the upper right back and shoulder. It is difficult to find a comfortable position as the pain does not disappear with the attempt to move around.

l  Prevents normal and deep breathing

l  Lasts from 15 minutes to 24 hours (frequently lasts between 1 and 5 hours)

l  Appears at night, being so severe that it can interrupt sleep

l  Appears after meals

Pain associated with gallstones may cause vomiting, which can relieve some pain and abdominal pressure to some extent. Pain associated with fever, nausea and vomiting or loss of appetite (loss of appetite) may be a sign of an infection in the gallbladder (acute cholecystitis).

Symptoms suggestive of obstruction of the common biliary duct include:

l  yellowing of the skin and the white portion of the eye (jaundice)

l  darkening of the urine

l  light feces

l  fever and chills

Gallstones: Diagnostic

There are many other conditions that can cause similar symptoms, including gastroesophageal reflux, myocardial infarction, and liver disease.

Digestive infections (gastroenteritis) and food poisoning can also cause symptoms similar to those produced by gallstones. Diarrhea and vomiting are associated with food intoxication but pain tends to be more transitory than constant.

The pain that occurs in these conditions is felt in the abdomen rather than in one place. Abdominal tremor (rather than constant) associated with nausea, vomiting and possibly mild fever is more likely to be due to gastroenteritis or food poisoning than gallstones.

It is more likely that these are the cause of the pain as the people in the environment experience the same symptoms.

Gallstones: Evolutie

The evolution of gallstones depends on the presence or not of symptoms.

The vast majority of patients with gallstones have no symptoms and do not require treatment.

Those who experience symptoms often suffer surgery to remove the gallstones.

Asymptomatic gallstones

Up to 90% of people with gallstone have no symptoms. The vast majority of asymptomatic gallstones will never experience symptoms.

Symptomatic gallstones

The most common problem caused by gallstones is repeated obstruction by a calculus of the biliary channel, the duct that drains the gall bladder. This causes periodic pains that occur in the context of bladder contraction and relaxation. Pain is usually severe and constant, ranging from 15 minutes to 6 hours, with pain getting worse after eating.

Symptoms give up in a few days.

At first painful access, the best attitude is to see if the pain goes away without surgery. However, if the pain is severe or if there have been such a painful history, it may be necessary to surgically remove the gallbladder.

Depending on the site of obstruction of the bile duct, the symptoms may include nausea, vomiting, fever, and severe abdominal pain lasting more than 6 hours.

If these symptoms occur, surgical removal of the gallbladder and calculus may be necessary.

Rarely, gallstones can cause acute pancreatitis, an inflammation of the pancreas. Stones can block the flow of digestive enzymes secreted by the pancreas. Pancreatitis can lead to acute, severe abdominal pain, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, and fever.

Need for surgery

Usually, the first symptoms of gallstones are not severe. Serious complications (such as obstruction of a canal) occur rarely, so after consulting with the doctor, it may be decided to postpone treatment to see if the symptoms go away.

This is all the more important as the doctor is not sure if the symptoms are caused by gallstones. Although sometimes emergency surgery is needed, in most cases it seems a safer approach to delaying treatment until a second painful episode.

If two painful episodes appear, it is likely that they will happen again in the future. In this situation, surgical treatment for gallstones removal is usually the best solution.

Individuals experiencing symptoms associated with gallstones have a higher risk of experiencing painful symptoms in the future and complications in comparison to asymptomatic patients.

It is impossible to predict the frequency of painful episodes and their severity. Many of those who decide not to treat themselves, do not pose further problems.

Approximately 1 out of  3 people with unique painful access do not show any other painful episodes.

Gallstones: Risk factors

The chances of developing symptomatic gall bladder are greater for:

l  Female patients - women have a 2 times higher risk than men to develop gallstones

l  People older than 55 years old

l  Overweight people

l  People who have rapidly lost weight - Gallstones occurs in about a quarter of overweight people following a strict diet and about half of those who undergo surgical treatment of obesity (gastric bypass). With this surgery, the size of the stomach is reduced.

l  People with higher than regular levels of HDL (good cholesterol) and triglycerides (types of fat found in blood and food)

l  Persons with Crohn's disease

l  People with family history of gallstones

l  Pregnant women

l  People taking estrogen therapy (postmenopausal) or high doses of oral contraceptives

l  Hispanic or Native Americans

l  People with sickle cell disease

l  People taking certain medicines, such as cholesterol-lowering medicines

l  People with liver cirrhosis

l  People living a sedentary lifestyle

Gallstones: Treatments

In the conditions in which gallstones do not cause pain and other symptoms, it is not necessary to institute treatment. Only 1% to 4% of individuals with gallstones develop symptoms each year.

In some situations, doctors can recap the surgical treatment for asymptomatic calculi.

If gallstones are symptomatic, the decision to treat should be taken with your doctor.

The best solution can be vigilant expectation to see if the symptoms go away. It is preferable that the surgical treatment decision be taken after a second access of gallstones pain.

Ambulatory treatment (at home)

There is no specific treatment for gallstones, but a medical consultation is required if:

Symptoms that may be caused by gallstones. If the doctor discovers the presence of calculi in the gall but the symptoms are mild, it is quite certain that surgical treatment should only be considered after a second access of pain.

Symptoms of gallstones are repeated, especially if they are severe or accompany by fever, chills, or yellowing of the skin and the white part of the eye (jaundice).

Sever episode of abdominal pain or other abdominal symptoms. Abdominal pain is a common symptom for a wide range of conditions.

Pharmaceutical treatment

Medicines are rarely used in the treatment of gallstones. However, people who follow a fast weight loss diet can receive medications for pain, nausea, and for the prevention of gallstones.

Bile acids that dissolve gallstones are usually reserved for people in whom surgery is risky or those who refuse surgery.

This therapy is very rare, if ever, being an option for those who have an inflammation or acute infection of the gallbladder, for those who have a gallbladder that does not work normally, show large bile calculi, calcified calculi, or calculus at the level of the bile ducts.

Surgical treatment

Surgical treatment for the removal of gallbladder is the treatment of choice for gallstones that causes moderate to severe pain or other symptoms.

Symptoms usually do not recur after bladder removal. In a small number of cases, surgical treatment is performed to prevent the occurrence of gallstones complications.

Laparoscopic surgical treatment is often the best method for removing the gallbladder. Surgery on the open abdomen requires longer periods of convalescence and is more painful.

Surgical treatment for gallbladder removal should be followed by:

l  Monitoring the appearance of signs of infection. The doctor should be consulted immediately if the area around the incision is red and swollen or if fever occurred.

l  The doctor should be consulted if skin and white eye irritation, jaundice, and dark urine occur. These symptoms may indicate the incidence of a computation in the common bile duct.

Gallstones: Prevention

The appearance of gallstones can be prevented if:

l  Maintain an optimal weight by pursuing a balanced diet and doing regular physical activity.

l  Avoid sudden weight loss. Weight loss (diet, not loss due to illness) followed by unwanted weight gain may increase the risk of gallstones, especially for women.

Heat Stroke: Causes, Symptoms & Treatment

Known as one of the most dangerous heat-induced diseases, heat stroke is an emergency situation in which the life of the affected person can be endangered. The victim may experience headache, incoherence in speech, fainting, hallucinations, convulsions, and even coma in very serious cases. Body temperature can reach 40 degrees Celsius, or even more. The person suffering from heat stroke is so dehydrated that the skin does not sweat anymore and is dry and warm to the touch.

Heat Stroke: Types of heat strokes

There are two kinds of heat strokes:

l  the classical heat stroke

l  the exertion heat stroke

The Classical Heat Stroke.

Classical heat stroke occurs in people who do not normally sweat, either because of a disease or medication. If a man does not naturally sweat, it is difficult to cope with a warm and humid climate.

Typically, victims of this classical heat stroke are older adults who do not have air conditioning and who suffer from chronic health problems such as diabetes. This type of heat stroke is very dangerous and can evolve rapidly in two or three days.

The Exertion Heat Stroke.

It begins quickly, just a few hours after making physical exercises at high temperatures.

Practically, although the skin is sweating, the body overheats due to very hot weather, and, additionally, physical activity leads to dehydration.

The victims of this type of heat stroke are usually healthy young people such as athletes and football or soccer players. This type of heat stroke is triggered in conditions of excessive heat and humidity, plus intense physical effort.

Heat Stroke: Causes

Causes of heat stroke are:

l  Very hot weather.

l  Exercise in extreme heat conditions, especially for people who do not have a sharp physical condition.

l  Positioning of the home or office on the upper floors of a building without air conditioning.

l  Inadequate clothing for the summer.

l  Excessive alcohol consumption.

l  Fatigue.

l  Age – people of over 65 years of age are more prone to heat strokes.

l  High humidity.

l  The presence of various medical conditions such as alcoholism, neurological disorders, cardiovascular diseases, skin or sweat glands disorders (that can inhibit the skin's ability to sweat), diabetes, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, hyperthyroidism, hypokalaemia (potassium deficiency), infections, or mental illness.

Heat Stroke: Risk factors

Some affections increase the risk of a person getting heat stroke.

Obesity, sweating glands disorders, diabetes, dehydration, malnutrition, low blood pressure, cardiovascular diseases make it difficult for the body to adjust to heat.

In many cases, heat stroke patients suffer from at least one of these diseases (especially the elderly). There are also multiple possibilities for the elderly to undergo various drug treatments that affect the body's ability to adjust its temperature.

Some drugs inhibit sweat glands. These include:

l  anticholinergics (used to treat Parkinson's disease)

l  antihistamines (to treat allergies)

l  phenothiazines (tranquilizers)

l  tricyclic antidepressants

l  diuretics

Other medicines restrict blood flow to the skin and affect the body's ability to release heat, especially the medicines for cardiovascular diseases such as vasoconstriction and beta-blockers.

If a person uses some of these drugs, they should ask the doctor for the possible side effects that may occur in the event of heat stroke.

Also, those who consume drugs such as LSD, cocaine and amphetamine have an increased risk of heat stroke. These drugs enhance muscle activity and raise body temperature.

Excessive alcohol consumption greatly increases the possibility that a person may experience heat stroke, as the alcohol stimulates the elimination of water in the body and dehydrates it.

People who have reduced mobility for various reasons (for example, people with disabilities, homeless and very poor), are more prone to heat strokes because they often can not afford air conditioning or can not go in a cooler place.

Also, children under two years of age may suffer from heat stroke because their small bodies can not adjust body temperature as well as adults or older children. Because they are unable to defend themselves from high temperatures every summer, tragedies occur worldwide when young children end up losing their lives.

Statistically, many children are annually dying of heat stroke when they are left alone under the burning sun in cars with closed doors, in parking lots, for longer periods of time. The temperature inside the car increases rapidly when the car is not on the move and can even exceed 60 degrees Celsius. Young children bodies cannot adapt to this increasing temperature and heat stroke occurs.

Heat Stroke: Symptoms and Signs

Symptoms of heat stroke can, in some cases, mimic a heart attack or other medical conditions. In other situations, the patient may manifest in a first phase the symptoms of thermal exhaustion.

The main signs and symptoms of thermal exhaustion, which may precede sunstroke, include:

l  nausea

l  vomiting

l  weakness

l  excessive fatigue

l  headache

l  muscle cramps or pain

l  confusion

However, some people may suddenly develop heat stroke symptoms without any alarm signals.

The most common symptoms of heat stroke include:

l  high body temperature

l  lack of sweat

l  red and/or very dry skin

l  fast pulse

l  shortness of breath

l  unusual behavior

l  hallucinations

l  state of confusion

l  agitation

l  disorientation

l  convulsions and/or coma

Heat Stroke: Treatment

l  The treatment of both classical and exertion heat strokes types is the same: emergency intervention by any available means that would lower body temperature - for example wet compresses, a fan or ice applied under the axes (attention, but this last remedy should be used only on short time)

l  hydration is very important

Early treatment increases the chances of survival of a person suffering from heat stroke.

Heat Stroke: Prevention

Any person who is over 65 years old or undergoing treatment for cardiovascular disease should be very careful in warm weather.

There will be no changes in the treatment schedule without the doctor's advice.

During the heat weather, the air conditioning should be used. During the summer, outdoor exercises will be done early in the morning or in the evening at late hours when the weather is cooler.

The body must gradually adapt to heat, so the physical activity should be gradually increased in intensity, every day.

Studies have shown that the gradual warming of a person in hot weather increases the body's ability to sweat without losing salt. It takes about two to four weeks of exercise until the body is used with the hot summer days.

You have to drink a lot of water. In the case of exercises, drink even one liter of water every hour.

During gardening, however, it is sufficient to have a glass of cold water from which you should take some sips once in awhile.

Liquids should not be used only when the feeling of thirst appears but before it occurs because thirst often signals the beginning of dehydration.

Studies have shown that water in which a little salt is put prevents dehydration even better than regular water. However, you should not exaggerate with the amount of salt because a too high salt level increases the risk of kidney damage.

People working or doing sport outdoors during hot summer days should wear hat to protect from the sun and white large clothing to allow the evaporation of sweat.

Also, lotions for sun protection are indicated.

It is indicated to stay indoors on hot summer days, and if possible in air-conditioned rooms.

If this is not possible, cold water can be sprayed on the body frequently. If faint-like sensations occur, urgent medical attention will be required.

A victim of the heat stroke needs immediate medical attention. The most important thing is the speed of the intervention that can be done without any medical help. Just remember that hydration and cooling of the victim's body must take place as quickly as possible to increase the chances of survival. You can do that before the medical intervention comes in.

Head Lice: Symptoms, Treatment and Prevention

Infestation with head lice (linden disease) means colonization of hair by head lice (Pediculus humanus capitis) and it generally affects only the head or scalp of the human host. Head lice feed on human blood. The itching caused by lice bites is a common symptom of this condition. The treatment involves the application of local insecticides, such as pyrethrin or permethrin, or various naturally occurring remedies commonly used.

Infestation with lice, commonly called pediculosis or linden disease, occurs in several species of mammals and birds. The term pediculosis capitis, or short pediculosis, is sometimes used to refer to man-specific pediculosis caused by P. humanus capitis (infestation with head lice). People can also be hosts of two other species of lice - corpus lutes and crab lice.

In general, infestation with head lice is an endemic condition, especially in the case of children. This generates some concern for public health, although unlike the lice, the head is not the carrier of other infectious diseases.

It has been suggested that in the past, head lice infection was a beneficial condition for both sides, contributing to the defense against the body louse, much more dangerous due to the illness it can carry.

Head Lice: Symptoms and Signs

The most common symptom of infection is itching at the head, which normally intensifies 3-4 weeks after the initial infestation.

The bite reaction is not very strong and can barely be seen among the hairs. Bites can be seen especially in the neck area, in the case of long-haired individuals when the hair is tight up.

Very rarely, itching can lead to a secondary infection with impetigo and pyoderma. Seldom lymph nodes and fever may occur. As far as we know, head lice do not transmit pathogenic microorganisms.

Head Lice: Causes

Usually head lice are transmitted by direct contact at the head with an infected person, forwarding as a consequence of the use of bedding or clothing such as, for example.

Hair-to-hair transmission is much less common but possible.

Body lice spreads through direct contact with the body, clothes, or other personal things of a person infested with lice.

The pubic lice are often transmitted by sexual intercourse with an infected person.

Head lice do not affect pets or other animal species. They have no wings and can not jump.

From each egg or linden can hatch a larva that will develop into an adult lice. At maturity, the lice have the size of a sesame seed. The lice feed with blood around 8 times a day by pricking the skin with their tiny mouthpieces, similar to the needles. The lice can not penetrate under the skin.

Head and body lice have a similar look, although the head lice are usually smaller. Instead, pubic lice look quite different. The body is smaller and has claws like pliers observed at crabs. Unlike other forms of lice, the head lice do not transmit diseases.

Heads Lice: Diagnosis

Combing wet hair using a comb for lice and balm for diagnosis and treatment. Head lice can be seen in the foam.

Diagnosis depends on the presence of lice or their eggs in the hair, its setting being facilitated by the use of a luff or by combing the baby's hair.

In unsafe cases, the child can be referred to a doctor. However, in this case, an excess of positive diagnoses is recorded, with inactive infestations being confused with some active.

Consequently, lice killings are often used on uninfected children. Using a comb against lice is the most effective way to detect living lice. In cases where children have long hair and/or curled or wrinkled hair, an alternative diagnostic method is examining the head by dividing the hair into strands at 2 cm intervals to discover lice that travel to the scalp.

In both methods, special attention should be paid to the area near the ears and the neck.

The examiner should examine the scalp for at least 5 minutes. Using a magnifying glass to examine the material collected between the comb teeth could avoid making the wrong diagnosis.

However, the exclusive presence of lindens is not a clear indication of an infestation with active head lice.

In the case of children who have lindens in hair, the possibility of being infected with living lice and eggs is around 40%.

If lice are detected, the whole family should be checked, especially children up to 13 years of age, using a louse comb and those who are infected with active lice should be treated.

If no living lice are detected, the child should not be diagnosed with head lice. As a result, the child should only be treated with a special insecticides only if there are living lice in his hair, not if he has dead lice or inactive linden eggs or if it has itching at the scalp area.

Head Lice: Prevention

Examination of the child's head at regular intervals using a comb allows the diagnosis of infestation with lice from an early age.

Early diagnosis makes treatment easier and reduces the risk of infecting other people.

In periods and areas where lice infestations occur frequently, the weekly examination of children, especially of those between 4 and 15 years of age, by parents helps to keep the infestation under control.

Clothes, towels, bedding, combs, and brushes that have come into contact with the infected person can be disinfected either by leaving them out for at least 2 weeks or by washing at 60 degrees Celsius (140 F) for 30 minutes.

Adult lice can survive for only 1 or 2 days without blood and are extremely dependent on the warmth of the human body. Home and furniture disinfection is not required.

Head Lice: Epidemiology

The number of cases of infestation with human-specific lice (pediculosis) has increased worldwide since the mid-1960s, reaching hundreds of millions annually.

Despite improvements in medical treatments and human disease prevention in the 20^th century, lice infestation continues to spread with obstinacy.

In 1997, 80% of scholars in the first years reported at least one louse epidemic in low-developed countries.

During the same period, the number of cases of lice infestation was higher than that of chickenpox.

In the United States alone, about 6 to 12 million people, most children aged between 3 and 11 years are treated annually against lice. Also, high levels of lice infestations have been reported across the world, including Israel, Denmark, Sweden, Britain, France, and Australia.

It has been shown that the number of children in a family, the sharing of beds and cupboards, the behavior of hair washing, local habits and social contacts, medical services in a certain area (eg school) and social and economic status are factors that are essential for infestation with head lice.

Girls are four times more infected than boys. Children between 4 and 14 years of age are the most affected group.

In the US, low rates of infestation are among children of African-American origin.

According to the National Health Service of the United Kingdom and many American health agencies, lice prefer pure hair because it is easier for them to attach their eggs and cling to the hair. However, this is often contested.

Infestation with head lice is more common among children aged 3 to 10 years and their families. Female sufferers are twice as affected as men, and among African Americans infestation occurs very rarely due to the texture of the hair. However, the children of these people may have lindens, and the lice can be transferred from one child to another.

How does the jealousy occurs and what feelings are behind it?

Jealousy is a deep feeling, very rooted, and difficult to change. Many times people imagine they are jealous because they are in love, but they actually fall in love because they need a person to stand beside them so they do not feel alone.

In the opinion of the psychologists, the jealousy of our partner often makes us think that we are loved, but in this context it is confused with love, and the much-desired love turns into a battle without winners.

Why is jealousy ocurring?

Jealousy simply comes from the fear of the person that he has no value on his own.

The more the person is able to find the necessary protection itself and the lower the self-confidence, the more insecurity, the fear of abandonment, and hence the jealousy, characterized by the strong need to keep the partner as close as possible, to protect their own portion of affection.

Thus the traditional relationship oscillates between affection and domination, which are, unfortunately, two incompatible poles for building a real relationship.

'In other words, jealousy is apparently very much like love, but it is actually an evil step-brother with diametrically opposed features,'  explain the psychologists.

What radical feelings hide jealousy?

The feeling of jealousy indicates a type of relationship in which possession prevails at the expense of affection, and power at the expense of love.

This feeling conceals in it an entire behavior, a whole strategy in which love interferes with:

l  Fear - 'If you are not near me, I do not feel protected'

l  Morale - 'Your duty is to take care of me/house/family'

l  The blackmail - 'I will die or I will commit suicide if...'

l  Threat - 'If you're not what I want, you'll see/you'll pay...'

l  Culpability - 'If you love someone else, it means you do not love me!'

l  Anger/Fury - 'If I'm upset and nervous, you should be scared and be silent'

l  Taking 'hostages' - children are usually caught in the middle this case

l  Ideology - 'Because we love each other, we have to do everything together'

l  Authority - 'You are not allowed to do/have something without me'

l  Suffering - 'I can not sleep/eat/work because of the you'

l  Disease - Anxiety, depression, panic attacks, 'stigmatization' are common in this case

l  Force/Aggression - the partner is held in a state of fear through verbal and/or physical violence. Also, immobilization, doors locked, ban on access to the car, money ban, telephone or any other means of contacting the outside are common.

l  Crime - 'If you can not belong to me, you have no reason to live'

The word fidelity comes from the Greek fides, which means trust. Like everything in this world, fidelity has two aspects:

l  the positive – the mutual trust

l  the negative – perverted aspect, in which fidelity becomes synonymous with abstinence, repression, limitation, and detention.

When only the negative aspect is accentuated, the life as a couple becomes a prison, a place of repression, and the life partner turns into an enemy.

Many people suffer from loneliness only because of the limitations of the education received, the conditioning caused by some life concepts taken over, because in this case the words 'I love you!' deviate from their pure and wonderful meaning and become only fears and 'prison cells' for the other.

Love versus jealousy

We often hear expressions such as 'I'm afraid you do not love me', "You should only love me!', 'I love you if you love me too', 'If you love me, you'll offer you the Moon', 'I'd love you if you'd be perfect', and so on.

When 'I love you' actually means 'I love you the way I am and I love you as you are', we can really talk of love, because fidelity to the other begins with fidelity to yourself, because your peace is truly assured only when you can satisfy your aspirations and then it is great to want and share this with your partner.

When you succeed in accepting and loving yourself as you are, only then you can do it with your partner and you will find that jealousy will become a useless feeling. When you appreciate yourself, love yourself, respect yourself, you are sensitive to everything that surrounds you, then you can really love life and people, and only then you can really build a relationship with a person in the same state of mind and soul as you.

Such love is very rarely known as despondency and despair, as long as each member of the couple care for it growth, but each one remains himself, concludes the psychologists.

How to get rid of jealousy?

Other point of view some specialists have is that jealousy in a relationship is like salt in food. A little bit of it will give you a flavor, but too much can end up losing pleasure.

The jealousy in a relationship is like a reward for the first days of sincere love but later will become a major problem for both partners. Some fail to overcome this moment and decide to end the relationship.

Here is how you can get rid of jealousy

Always be positive

Jealousy usually comes packed with some unpleasant experiences from that person's past, which has affected his power to trust in any other partner.

If you went through an unpleasant experience, you had a partner who cheated or lied to you, then jealousy will definitely manifest in your future relationships.

It will not harm the current or future relationship as long as it does not go beyond normal. Trust your partner but do not really believe everything he says.

Trust in your own person

It is noticeable that many people who want to learn how to get rid of jealousy are actually victims of a lack of confidence in their own forces, of being depressed and unable to overcome their habits.

It is very important to identify the reason that caused this lack of confidence in you and to try to overcome this obstacle.

Talk about this issue

If you want to learn how to beat this bad feeling, the first thing you have to do is discuss this with your partner.

Jealousy will begin to grab your relationship if you do not stop it in the shortest time.

Before drawing conclusions, remember that reality is much more enjoyable than you see through the eyes of jealousy. Tell your partner what you feel, what bothers you, what your suspicions are and you can solve these problems together.

Analyze the situation

Many reasons that lead to jealousy are superficial, being that kind of things you saw but you did not understand.

If your partner gets late, does not answer the phone every night, forget the little things, or your partner makes gestures that seem strange, it's best to ignore these incidents.

Do not let them interfere with you and destroy the love that is between you.

You should analyze the situation and react in accordance, not in an exaggerated manner.

Give your partner somer space

Remember that your partner also has his own world.

You are right when you think that you should take the first place in the top of your partner's preferences but there are things that may seem equally important in your partner's eyes.

The best relationship is between two different people. Make sure you do not burden your partner with all your problems and concerns.

Give some space to your partner, and let your partner go out, relax with friends, or even when home, let your partner do things that he/she enjoys.

Trust and honesty

Trust and honesty are two of the most important components of a healthy relationship.

The lack of one of them can lead to jealousy, and, in time this jealousy can transfrom into an extreme one.

Try to find out what was behind the jealousy and, after discussing your problem with your partner, try to have full confidence in your partner.

People who are making efforts to learn how to stop jealousy know, in fact, what the solutions to this problem are. They do not trust their own powers and can't ignore these feelings.

Try to get over those unimportant little things that affect your relationship and you will notice it deserves this little effort!
