			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Anyone who has ever flown on an airplane will have experience the popping sensation in the ears as the plans takes off, or begins to land. </p>
<p>For some, the popping is easily bearable and no precautions need to be taken, but for others, especially children and those suffering from colds, the feeling can be extremely painful. </p>
<p>The popping is caused by unequal pressure when ascends, or descend quickly. </p>
<p>To prevent this, many chew gum, or suck on hard-boiled candy. But another great way to stop the popping is to use the Valsalva Maneuver. </p>
<div id="attachment_7718" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 560px"><a href="http://www.thaimedicalnews.com/wp-content/uploads/valsalva-maneuver.jpg" rel="shadowbox[sbpost-7715];player=img;" title="valsalva maneuver"><img src="http://www.thaimedicalnews.com/wp-content/uploads/valsalva-maneuver-550x309.jpg" alt="stop ears popping on airplanes " title="valsalva maneuver" width="550" height="309" class="size-large wp-image-7718" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Prevent Ears Popping On Airplanes </p></div>
<p>To perform the Valsalva technique, simply pinch your nose, close your mouth and exhale with a reasonable amount of force. </p>
<p>Without over exerting, you should feel a slight pop in the ears. This equalizes the pressure and stops the sensation of pressure in the ears.</p>
<p>The same popping sensation can also be experienced when driving down a mountain. In the car you can prevent the popping sensation by leaving the window open slightly as you descend.   </p>

		<description><![CDATA[Breast construction is found to be safe procedure for the elderly following a mastectomy…]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A new study has shown that <a href="http://thaimakeover.com/plastic-surgery-thailand/breast-implants-bangkok.html" target="new">breast reconstruction</a> surgery following a mastectomy is a safe and well-tolerated procedure for the elderly.</p>
<p>A mastectomy is the surgical removal of the breast, and is often the procedure of choice for younger women who’ve been struck down with breast cancer. </p>
<div id="attachment_7706" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 560px"><a href="http://www.thaimedicalnews.com/wp-content/uploads/breast-reconstruction-following-mastectomy-safe-for-eldery.jpg" rel="shadowbox[sbpost-7704];player=img;" title="breast reconstruction following mastectomy safe for eldery"><img src="http://www.thaimedicalnews.com/wp-content/uploads/breast-reconstruction-following-mastectomy-safe-for-eldery-550x270.jpg" alt="breast reconstruction following mastectomy safe for eldery" title="breast reconstruction following mastectomy safe for eldery" width="550" height="270" class="size-large wp-image-7706" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Breast reconstruction After Mastectomy Safe For Elderly </p></div>
<p>Dr. Marissa Howard-McNatt, an assistant professor of surgery at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center, in Winston-Salem, S.C., said in a center news release.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;The removal of a breast has implications for the psychological, social and sexual well-being of the patient, establishing the need that reconstruction should be offered…</p>
<p>&#8220;However, little is known about rates of reconstruction in elderly women after breast cancer.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>This led her and her colleagues to review cases of 89 women over the age of 60 who underwent mastectomy and breast reconstruction in the last 10 years. </p>
<p>The results showed that breast reconstruction is a safe and feasible procedure for older women, even though they are less likely to choose this option, the researchers claimed. Howard-McNatt explained:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Generally, breast cancer in the elderly is less aggressive than in younger patients. Life expectancy can still be substantial &#8212; 16 years for a 70-year-old and greater than six years for an otherwise healthy 80-year-old&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8220;More patients are candidates for aggressive breast cancer therapy. The safety of reconstruction, as well as increased life expectancy and healthier lifestyles, makes breast reconstruction desirable at any age.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>She added that number of American women older than 65 is expected to double by 2050.</p>
<p>The study was published in the December issue of The American Surgeon.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[An old wives remedy for curing hiccups that actually works! ]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We’ve recently posted a couple of articles with advice on the best inexpensive <a href="http://www.thaimedicalnews.com/15-natural-remedies-for-aches-pains-burns-dandruff-flatulence-infections/2011/09/03/" target="new">natural home remedies </a>for common health problems, and in keeping with that theme it’s time for one old wives remedy that really does work.<br />
Hiccups typically occur in fairly timid bouts, however when you’re struck down with a relentless case it can quickly turn from a humorous affair to an annoying and embarrassing situation. </p>
<p>There are several old wives remedies on how to cure hiccups &#8211; drinking water from the upper rim of a glass, getting someone to scare you or make you jump – however in my experience the easiest and most effective way to cure hiccups is to swallow a tablespoon of vinegar. And it’s not just myself, a quick search around the Internet will uncover many forums and blog saying the same thing. </p>
<p><div id="attachment_7404" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 560px"><a href="http://www.thaimedicalnews.com/wp-content/uploads/cure-hiccups-with-vinegar.jpg" rel="shadowbox[sbpost-7403];player=img;" title="cure hiccups with vinegar"><img src="http://www.thaimedicalnews.com/wp-content/uploads/cure-hiccups-with-vinegar.jpg" alt="how to cure hiccups " title="cure hiccups with vinegar" width="550" height="387" class="size-full wp-image-7404" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Cure Hiccups With Vinegar</p></div><em>Image Credit: <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/bods/6202998481/" target="new" rel="no-follow">Andrew Bowden</a>, 2011.</em></p>
<p>The general advice is to swallow a tablespoon of vinegar, and simply wait for the effects to relieve your symptoms. Apple cider vinegar, good old malt vinegar, either one works, the only problem is getting over the mental issue of swallowing a mouth full of vinegar. Surprisingly, I didn’t find as bad as I thought (I had to say it wasn’t nice) but I did think it was small price to pay to rid myself of the uncontrollable jolting. </p>
<p>I used to a be fan of drinking a water from  the upper rim of a glass, I do think this works too, but there’s been several times when hiccuping whilst trying to do so caused the water to go up my nose, or down the wrong way, which resulted in adding fits of coughing to the round of hiccups. Plus you look kind of silly bending over and trying to the drink from the top of a glass. </p>

		<description><![CDATA[75 year-old Sherry Cook goes under the knife for breast lift surgery and implants…]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With healthcare and medical technology improving every year, people are living longer. Many of these people want to look as good as they feel, and according to Doctor Michael Niclooley, this has given rise to increase number of elderly people opting for <a href="http://www.thaimakeover.com/index.html" target="new">cosmetic plastic surgery</a>. </p>
<p>Sherry Cook, is one 75 year-old women who chose to have multiple cosmetic surgeries. Cook compares the appearance of the elderly to the proverbial oatmeal box, or a match stick, and she says, “I don’t want to look like that.” [MSN] That’s why she decided to have <a href="http://www.thaimakeover.com/plastic-surgery-thailand/breast-implants-bangkok.html" target="new">breast lift surgery</a> and <a href="http://www.thaimakeover.com/plastic-surgery-thailand/breast-implants-bangkok.html" target="new">breast implants</a>. </p>
<p>According to the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) 80,000 people 60 or older went under the knife last year, and Cook’s surgeon, Niclooley, agrees. He told MSN BC that more seniors than ever before are coming into his clinic. </p>
<p>He also explained that while a few years ago, it wasn’t uncommon for seniors to undergo <a href="http://www.thaimakeover.com/dermatology-skin-care.html" target="new">dermatology </a>treatments such as <a href="http://www.thaimakeover.com/dermatology-thailand/dermabrasion-bangkok.html" target="new">dermabrasions </a>and <a href="http://www.thaimakeover.com/dermatology-thailand/chemical-peel-bangkok.html" target="new">chemical peels</a>, nowadays however, he focus has shifted more toward body contouring and enhancing. </p>
<p>Experts say that the risks of going under the knife are similar for both young and elderly patients, and with huge improvements in medical technology and techniques, cosmetic plastic surgery is safer than ever before. </p>

<p>To perform a full squat with heavy weights, its best to start of using some kind of a multi-gym so you don’t have to lift the weight up and over your head. </p>
<p>Start off with the weight resting on your shoulders, supported with your hands on either side of the bar. </p>
<p>The key here is to squat as low as possible whilst looking forward and keeping your back straight. Many people do not squat low enough when doing this exercise, which doesn’t work the glutes as well. So as long as you do no experience any pain, squat as low as you can. </p>
<h3>Split Squats</h3>
<p><strong>Targets hamstring on a single leg for quick results. </strong><br />
The split squat is similar to the full squat, however this exercise requires a support to rest one of your legs in an elevated position behind you. </p>
<p><div id="attachment_7312" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 560px"><a href="http://www.thaimedicalnews.com/wp-content/uploads/split-squats.jpg" rel="shadowbox[sbpost-7308];player=img;" title="split squats"><img src="http://www.thaimedicalnews.com/wp-content/uploads/split-squats.jpg" alt="brazilian butt lift split squats" title="split squats" width="550" height="346" class="size-full wp-image-7312" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Split Squats </p></div><em>Image Credit: <a href="http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/3-keys-to-building-a-sexy-brazilian-butt.htm" target="new" rel="no-follow">Body Building</a>, 06/24/2011. </em></p>
<p>With your leg rested and weight positioned on your shoulders in the same manner as the full squat, lunge forward one leg as low as possible, then rise and repeat. </p>
<p>Most gyms will have a set up that allows you to perform split squats. The highly versatile TRX suspension trainer also allows you to perform split squats, but using your body weight as resistance instead of weights. </p>

<h3>Step-Ups </h3>
<p><strong>Targets the entire lower body including the quads, hamstrings, and glutes,</strong><br />
This exercise combines the lifting of weights, with a step-up on a bench. Start off with the weight positioned on your shoulders like squat, then simply step up on to the bench, step down and switch legs. </p>
<p>Be sure to keep you back straight and look forward as you do the rep.<br />

<h3>Cardio </h3>
<p>If you’re aiming for the Brazilian butt look, it’s important to remember that key is losing excess fat and building the right muscles. For this reason, running up hill is tipped as the best and easiest form of cardio training you can do to help perfect you firm but curvaceous butt. Running up hill puts more stress on the muscles surrounding the glutes, and will help with muscle definition. </p>
<p>If you have access to one, another great cardio workout is the step machine.</p>
<h3>The Pencil Test </h3>
<p><strong>To see how your Brazilian butt is coming along, Carvalho offers this easy test. </strong><br />
Simply take a pencil and place it in the crease where your butt meets the top of the back of your thigh. If the pencil stays put or disappears, you need to lose fat and firm your butt, and that&#8217;s where Brazil Butt Lift can help.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Why not to choose the cheapest doctor you can find…]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Making a purchase is often all about great value for money. But when it comes to cosmetic plastic surgery, great value is literally skin deep. What may at first appear to be the cheapest option, could end up costing you more in the long run. Any type of surgery, be it life-saving, reconstructive, or cosmetic comes with certain risks, and if theses complications occur it can often mean a trip back to the doctors, or even the emergency room. </p>
<p>All this follow up care comes at price, and as anyone with medical insurance will know, any elective cosmetic surgery, or any follow up care resulting from such surgery will not be covered by your provider. </p>
<p>Medical tourism is one option many American’s and Europeans are choosing to help cut the cost of their elective surgeries. </p>
<p><div id="attachment_7294" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 560px"><a href="http://www.thaimedicalnews.com/wp-content/uploads/always-chose-board-certified-surgeons.jpg" rel="shadowbox[sbpost-7292];player=img;" title="always chose board certified surgeons"><img src="http://www.thaimedicalnews.com/wp-content/uploads/always-chose-board-certified-surgeons-550x582.jpg" alt="always chose board certified surgeons" title="always chose board certified surgeons" width="550" height="582" class="size-large wp-image-7294" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Choose Board Certified Plastic Surgeons </p></div><em>Image Credit: <a href="http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Dr_Amir_Karam_Performing_Nose_Surgery_01.jpg" rel="shadowbox[sbpost-7292];player=img;" target="new">Best In Plastics</a>, 2010. </em></p>
<p>Fortunately there are many well experienced and highly qualified doctors working in Thailand, India and other parts of Asia, and the lower living cost in these countries enable clinics and hospitals to offer first class service at an extremely competitive rates. </p>
<p>Nevertheless there are limits to how cheap high quality surgery can be offered, and many medical tourists overlook this when they decide to go with a surgeon in a clinic or hospital abroad. A general rule of thumb is to always go with a board certified plastic surgeon, with many years experience in the type of surgery you are opting for. If one turns up to be much cheaper than most others, you should immediately question why. </p>
<p>There’s no doubt that surgery is cheaper in countries such as Thailand and India, and with the added bonus of being able to enjoy a relaxing break and recovery in an exotic destination, there really is no better way to rejuvenate your body and mind. But always remember to be realistic about the cost of your surgery, and know you’re likely to get what you paid for. </p>
<p>There are many horror stories from patient’s who opted for the cheapest surgeon they could find. 40-year old Larissa Hersom, who wrote into the 33tv Texas news station to share her story, is one of those unfortunate people. </p>
<p>Hersom wanted to undergo bariatric surgeon to reduce her 300 lbs weight. After being told her medical insurance would not cover the weight-loss surgery, and realizing the high cost or surgery in the U.S., she began hunting on the Internet for a cheap deal in Mexico. Talking with 33TV she explained: </p>
<blockquote><p>“In the United States the lowest quote I got was $24,000.00 for the surgery and in Mexico. I was getting quotes of $12,000.00 to $14,000.00 and I ended up paying $12,500.00.”</p></blockquote>
<p>Unfortunately, it wasn’t long before there were complications – Hersom had to visit the emergency room three times in as many months, and was eventually told that without another surgery, she will die. </p>
<p>And she’s not alone, Dr. Nicholson a bariatric surgeon at the Forest Park Medical Center, said he sees many patients like Larissa:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Unfortunately we see this problem all too frequently as a matter of fact in our practice, we see this about once a week.&#8221; </p></blockquote>
<p>Hersom, knowing she is far from the only one who has experience such medical malpractice, wanted people to take away this msg:</p>
<blockquote><p>“You have to have money set aside for possible complications as well as the initial surgery. And if you have enough money for that &#8211; than why not get a competent US doctor (with US protections) in the first place? I feel like a complete fool. I gambled, and lost.”</p></blockquote>

		<description><![CDATA[Bangkok is a city full off a wide range of accommodations. But where do you being when choosing your hotel and location in Bangkok? This overview of the city and its places of interest will help you get started…]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When it comes to finding a hotel in Thailand the country’s capital city certainly spoils for choice. But this huge range of options can easily be overwhelming and often makes it more difficult to come to a final decision. </p>
<p>With hotels in every price range, for every taste, and situated throughout the city, picking the right establishment comes down to one of several factors. </p>
<ul>
<li>Price range</li>
<li>Location </li>
<li>Accessibility </li>
</ul>
<p><div id="attachment_7193" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 560px"><a href="http://www.thaimedicalnews.com/wp-content/uploads/bangkok-mbk-in-siam.jpg" rel="shadowbox[sbpost-7192];player=img;" title="bangkok mbk in siam"><img src="http://www.thaimedicalnews.com/wp-content/uploads/bangkok-mbk-in-siam-550x366.jpg" alt="mbk mall siam bangkok " title="bangkok mbk in siam" width="550" height="366" class="size-large wp-image-7193" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">MBK Mall in Siam, Bangkok, Thailand. </p></div><em>Image Credit: <a href="http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Bangkok_night.jpg" rel="shadowbox[sbpost-7192];player=img;" target="new">Anindya</a>, 2008. </em></p>
<h1>Accommodation In Bangkok, Thailand.</h1>
<h2>Location</h2>
<p>Location should be the most important factor when choosing your Bangkok hotel. As a city notoriously difficult to navigate, with traffic that can stand still for hours on end, being located near the places you’re likely to visit in Bangkok will not only cut down on time spent traveling, it will also decrease your chances of getting lost, or being caught off guard by overcharging taxis and touts. </p>
<p>If you’re visiting Thailand on a Medial Tourism vacation, then staying within easy reach of your hospital or clinic is highly advisable. </p>
<p class="note">Patients booking with ThaiMed will not have to worry about this as we will act as your travel agent; making sure you get the best deals. We are your travel insurance against booking disasters!</p>
<p>For those more interested in the active city life of Bangkok, anywhere within walking distance of the the the BTS Sky Train and MRT Underground networks, the city’s public mass transit system, should suffice. Popular areas along the BTS and MRT that cater to tourist include Silom, Siam, Pleonchit, Chitlom, Nana, Asoke, Phrom Phong, Thong Lor, and Saphan Taksin; other stations such Ekamai, Prakanong, On Nut, Ari, Chatuchak, and Param 9, are also in areas that cater to western needs, but visitors unfamiliar with the city may not find the services often required by backpackers or sightseeing travelers. </p>
<p><div id="attachment_7195" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 560px"><a href="http://www.thaimedicalnews.com/wp-content/uploads/bangkok-sky-train.jpg" rel="shadowbox[sbpost-7192];player=img;" title="bangkok sky train"><img src="http://www.thaimedicalnews.com/wp-content/uploads/bangkok-sky-train-550x404.jpg" alt="bangkok bts skytrain " title="bangkok sky train" width="550" height="404" class="size-large wp-image-7195" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">BTS SKy Train Near Sala Daeng Intersection </p></div><em>Image Credit: <a href="http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:BTS_Skytrain_over_Sala_Daeng_Intersection.jpg" rel="shadowbox[sbpost-7192];player=img;" target="new">Paul_012</a>, 2008 </em></p>
<p>While the BTS and MRT cover a large portion of the central business district and inner suburbs, neither have been extended to Khao San road &#8211; the city&#8217;s backpacker area &#8211; or its surrounding areas. Which means those on a backpackers budget staying at near Khao San will have to work that little bit harder to visit other places around the the city. </p>
<p>Bangkok is so large, dense and difficult to navigate that those staying in an area without a BTS or MRT station, who are also on limited budgets and time, usually find themselves staying in that area. </p>
<h3>Getting Around Bangkok</h3>
<p>When it comes to getting round Bangkok, if you don’t talk Thai, then be prepared for lots of walking, or bartering with taxi drivers. Even though the BTS and MRT cover most of the city, many of Bangkok best restaurants, spas and other attractions are hidden away down the smaller roads known as Soi’s in Thai. That said, it is possible to spend your days visiting areas within a short walk from these stations. </p>
<p><div id="attachment_7198" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 560px"><a href="http://www.thaimedicalnews.com/wp-content/uploads/bangkok-taxis.jpg" rel="shadowbox[sbpost-7192];player=img;" title="bangkok taxis"><img src="http://www.thaimedicalnews.com/wp-content/uploads/bangkok-taxis-550x366.jpg" alt="bangkok traffic " title="bangkok taxis" width="550" height="366" class="size-large wp-image-7198" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Bangkok Taxis </p></div><em>Image Credit: <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/christianhaugen/3343973416/" target="new" rel="no-follow">Christian Haugen</a>, 2009. </em></p>
<p>Buses are great way to travel on the cheap, but again, without any knowledge of Thai language and Bangkok, it can be difficult to find out which bus to catch and where to get off. Nevertheless, if you’re prepared to deal with the crazy traffic and persevere enough to find out which bus you need, traveling doesn’t get any cheap than this. </p>
<p>Many of the city’s taxis and motorbike taxis see tourists as an advantage to overcharge for their services, and while their asking price might not seem like much, being overcharged certainly adds up. Taxi’s should run on meters, but many times when a foreigners’ ask to go somewhere, the excuses start coming; “the meter is broken,” or “ there’s too much traffic, I give you better price than meter,” or simply, “there’s too much traffic, I want this price.” Unfortunately when this happens, it’s usually easier to ask another taxi who has no problem going on the meter. </p>
<p>For this reason, having access to a bilingual speaking driver, who knows where they are going, can be priceless. Large hotels will always be able to get you a meter taxi to your destination, but bear in mind that once you’ve left the hotel, you’re on own. </p>
<p>Fortunately there are hardly any dangerous areas in the city &#8211; with the exception of several slums, the major one being in the areas surrounding the KlongToey market. But as you’re not likely to accidentally walk into a slum, Bangkok is perfect city to wander the streets. </p>
<p>So whilst you needn’t be afraid to go exploring, always remember that the city’s confusing network of roads and soi’s are an easy place to get lost. A handy tip for the adventurous is to keep a business card from your hotel, so you’ve always got a written reference to show the locals when asking for directions home. </p>
<h2>Hotel Accessibility </h2>
<p>While price and location speak for themselves, accessibility is another factor you’ll want to consider when choosing your hotel. Thailand’s capital city is jammed packed with malls, stores, buildings, shacks, and all types of traffic, both human and mechanical, therefore accessibility to and from your hotel room and location in the city can make or break your holiday. </p>
<p><div id="attachment_7199" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 560px"><a href="http://www.thaimedicalnews.com/wp-content/uploads/around-pratunam-market.jpg" rel="shadowbox[sbpost-7192];player=img;" title="around pratunam market"><img src="http://www.thaimedicalnews.com/wp-content/uploads/around-pratunam-market-550x412.jpg" alt="pratunam market " title="around pratunam market" width="550" height="412" class="size-large wp-image-7199" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Small Soi&#039;s Around Pratunam Market </p></div><em>Image Credit: <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/plain_queen/3522042721/" target="new" rel="no-follow">Biyu</a>, 2009. </em></p>
<p>Many budget hotels and guesthouse are compact and hidden away, making it nightmare for the elderly or disabled. Buildings with no lifts, thin staircases and no ramps can make certain hotels completely inaccessible for the less able. </p>
<p>But accessibility isn’t just a problem for the elderly or disabled, it can affect anyone from the business traveler to the medical tourist or backpacker. </p>
<p>Shoppers and people traveling with lots of luggage may want to avoid these cramped budget guest house (some of which are very pleasant and much better value than larger hotels) as floor space, hall ways and general access to your room and facilities can make it difficult to carry more than the average amount of luggage. And business people may find the lack of desk space or an Internet connection in many places. </p>
<p>These small establishments are also less likely to offer services such as free left luggage, a god send to many travelers who plan to base their travels in Bangkok.</p>
<p>If you have special requirements when it comes to accessing your hotel and room, you may need to contact the smaller hotels directly to discuss your needs. (Note: Not all establishments employ staff with sufficient English skills to warrant an informative phone call, so don’t be disheartened if you find yourself being ignored, if the person on the other end of the phone is unable to communicate with you, it’s generally a good indicator of what you can expect during your stay.)</p>
<h2>Price Range </h2>
<p>Finding a hotel to suit your budget is only made difficult because of the plethora or options. A with most cities the central business district is typically reserved for large hotels. However Bangkok is a little different, and there are cheaper hotels guest houses hidden away in amongst the city center. </p>
<p>That said, for most options less than 25 dollars a night, there is only much one place for the traveler – Khao San Road. Featured in blockbuster movies such as The Beach, Khao Sarn road is Bangkok’s backpacker district. Situated in the Bang Lampoo area of Bangkok, Khao Sarn and the roads adjacent are home to everything backpacker from cheap to mid range guest houses and hotels, to market stalls, travel agents, all types of food stalls and restaurants, as well as pubs and clubs. </p>
<div id="attachment_7197" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 560px"><a href="http://www.thaimedicalnews.com/wp-content/uploads/khao-san-road1.jpg" rel="shadowbox[sbpost-7192];player=img;" title="khao san road"><img src="http://www.thaimedicalnews.com/wp-content/uploads/khao-san-road1-550x412.jpg" alt="khao san road bangkok " title="khao san road" width="550" height="412" class="size-large wp-image-7197" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Khao San Road, Bangkok </p></div>
<p>But don’t be mistaken, it’s not all budget establishments around here, there are several mid range accommodations as well as up-market restaurants. Rooms around Bang Lampoo can cost anywhere between 10-20 dollars without air conditioning, or 30-60 dollars with. </p>
<p>Within walking distance of many tourist attractions including the Grand Palace and Wat Pho, staying around Khao San road certainly has it benefits. But the lack of BTS or MRT &#8211; the city’s public mass transit system &#8211; and the busy Bangkok traffic can make it difficult to leave the area, especially for those on a budget. (River taxis 10-15 mins walk from the area can take you along the Chao Phraya to several stops, or city bound to Ratchetewi, Pratunam, Asoke, And Klong Tom, however most of the boats close after dark and the piers are sometimes far away from other tourist attractions.)</p>
<p>For those on slightly higher budget, there are a number of Boutique hotels throughout the city center, along Sukhumvit, in Siam and around Silom. Prices start at around 30-100 dollars a night, which is often well worth the money. Most boutique hotels sport modern looks, well furnished rooms and most hotel amenities; however the cheaper establishments often sacrifice location, accessibility and service, for the appearance of quality décor. </p>
<p>People looking for the most lavish hotel experience, will find paradise here in Bangkok. Boasting some of the world’s best hotels with excellent service, luxury hotels can be found all over the city, with prices starting at as little as 100 dollars.<br />
Most big chains such as the JW Marriot, the Sheraton, Westin, and Hilton have establishments either in the city or along the Chao Praya river. The famous Mandarin Oriental and the Shangri La hotels are also situated along the river. </p>
<div id="attachment_7196" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 560px"><a href="http://www.thaimedicalnews.com/wp-content/uploads/chao-phraya-river-bangkok-thailand.jpg" rel="shadowbox[sbpost-7192];player=img;" title="chao phraya river bangkok thailand"><img src="http://www.thaimedicalnews.com/wp-content/uploads/chao-phraya-river-bangkok-thailand-550x367.jpg" alt="chao phraya river " title="chao phraya river bangkok thailand" width="550" height="367" class="size-large wp-image-7196" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Chao Phraya River, Bangkok </p></div>
<p>Luxury hotels in Bangkok are much more just a place to stay, they offer some of the capital’s best restaurants and spas which are often visited by city residents. Expect top class service that almost meets western standards, but comes with décor, hospitality and an atmosphere that goes unrivaled anywhere in the world. </p>
<p>So, once you’ve considered what’s important during your stay in Bangkok, you’ll have a better idea of which area you’d like to stay. When it comes to booking your hotel or guest house, take reviews with a pinch of salt and remember that Thailand’s standard of quality, service and safety are sometimes not what we expect in the west, and it’s often here where corners are cut to offer such cheap prices. </p>

		<description><![CDATA[The causes and types of female hair loss, and how to treat female balding with female hair transplant. ]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hair loss is a condition that greatly affects self esteem. Balding men are often the subject of a harmless joke or mocking comment, but for women the problem can have a much greater emotional effect and drastic impact on social life. </p>
<p>Balding is a condition typically associated with men, but women make up a surprisingly large number of these cases &#8211; up to 40% in America according to the American Hair Loss Association.</p>
<p>Unfortunately diagnosing female hair loss isn’t as straight forward as it for men. Almost 90 % of all male balding cases are a result of hereditary male pattern baldness. For women however, it can be triggered by a number of different circumstances. </p>
<div id="attachment_7025" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 560px"><a href="http://www.thaimedicalnews.com/wp-content/uploads/female-hair-loss.jpg" rel="shadowbox[sbpost-7023];player=img;" title="female hair loss"><img src="http://www.thaimedicalnews.com/wp-content/uploads/female-hair-loss.jpg" alt="female hair loss and hair transplant " title="female hair loss" width="550" height="374" class="size-full wp-image-7025" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Female Hair Loss</p></div>
<p>Some temporary cases of female hair loss are easily fixed because they can be identified and treated. Some instances however are not the same and often lead frustrating situation when hair loss remedies cannot cure the problem. </p>
<p>Often the biggest hurdles when treating female balding is diagnosis. Once a diagnosis has been determined, some types of female hair loss can be reversed within a matter of weeks. </p>
<p>One of the most common types of female balding, female-pattern alopecia, doesn’t manifest as it does in men &#8211; in large obvious patches of balding &#8211; instead it often causes random or widespread thinning of the hair, and can be much harder to detect. </p>
<h1>Types and Causes of Female Hair Loss </h1>
<ul>
<li><strong>Female Pattern Hair Loss &#8211; Androgenetic Alopecia</strong><br />
This hereditary-type of hair loss is the one of the most common form of female balding and can start any time after puberty. Almost 50% of all women will suffer from a form of androgenetic alopecia at some point in their lives; although it occurs most often in women above the age of 40. Androgenetic Alopecia is the result of an inherited sensitivity to the effects of androgens (male hormones) on scalp hair follicles. </li>
<li><strong>Telogen Effluvium &#8211; Physiologic Shedding </strong><br />
Another common form of female balding, telogen effluvium, typically relates to underlying physical or mental factors as opposed to genetics. Circumstances such as pregnancy, illness and surgery have all been shown to inhibit the growth of hair follicles. Telogen effluvium can also be caused by hormonal shifts, anemia or a thyroid imbalance.</p>
<p>Telogen often thins hair around the scalp, but it can also occur elsewhere on the body. The condition generally begins suddenly and tends to get better on its own within six months. It can however, become a chronic condition for some people. </li>
<li><strong>Triangular Alopecia</strong><br />
Triangular alopecia refers to the loss of hair around the temporal areas. This form of alopecia can begin during childhood and may result in the complete loss of, or thinning of the hair. The cause of triangular alopecia is still not known but it can be treated medically or surgically once diagnosed. </li>
<li><strong>Scarring Alopecia – Traction Alopecia </strong><br />
This condition occurs as a result of scarring of the scalp. Also known as traction alopecia, it is common in African American women who wear braids or corn-rows for many years. It can also occur in post-menopausal women associated with inflammation of hair follicles and subsequent scarring, or due to infections, scalp disorders, chemical treatments and inflammation.</li>
<li><strong>Alopecia Areata &#8211; Allergic Alopecia </strong><br />
This condition occurs due to an allergic reaction or an autoimmune disorder. It can cause patchy bald spots and/or thinning of the hair. Medical examination is necessary to establish a diagnosis.</li>
<li><strong>Trichotillomania </strong><br />
Compulsive hair pulling, or trichotillomania, is a condition that typically causes patchy bald spots due to the nature of the patients pulling habits. This condition can only be treated psychologically. </li>
</ul>
<p>Once a diagnosis is reached, doctors can often treat female balding with certain medications, but this isn’t the case for some women, for whom hair loss can become a life long struggle.</p>
<h1>Female Hair Loss Treatments</h1>
<p>Many experts like Spencer Kobren, founder of the American Hair Loss Association and nationally syndicated radio talk show host of &#8220;The Bald Truth&#8221;, say that 99% of miracle hair loss treatments advertized in magazine do not work. </p>
<p>Some pharmaceutical medications have been found to provide hair regeneration benefits, but these are not always long-term and many doctors are reluctant to prescribe them. Hair rejuvenation medications are most commonly available as topical creams; however some birth control pills have also been shown to promote hair growth. </p>
<p>If you’re doctor cannot provide an effective treatment, it’s likely that your only option is a <a href="http://thaimakeover.com/" target="new">female hair transplant</a>, or <a href="http://www.thaimedicalnews.com/hair-tansplant-micro-grafts-flap-surgery-medical-hair-restoration/2008/05/17/" target="new" rel="no-follow">medical hair rejuvenation</a>. Hair replacement surgeries include varying hair transplant techniques, and laser therapy. </p>
<h1><a href="http://thaimakeover.com/plastic-surgery-thailand/hair-transplant-bangkok.html" target="new">Female Hair Transplant</a></h1>
<p>There are a number of techniques used in hair replacement surgery, these include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Punch grafts</li>
<li>Mini-grafts</li>
<li>Micro-grafts</li>
<li>Slit grafts</li>
<li>Strip grafts</li>
<li>Flap surgery</li>
<li>Tissue-expansion</li>
<li>Scalp-reduction</li>
</ul>
<h1>Best Candidates for Female Hair Transplant Surgery</h1>
<p>Unfortunately, not everyone that suffers from hair loss will be a perfect candidate for a hair transplant. However it can be the perfect solution for women for whom previous hair loss treatments have not worked.<br />
Hair transplants can be performed on women of any age; as long as they have healthy hair growth at the back and sides of the head to serve as donor areas from which grafts and flaps will be taken.</p>
<p>Other factors, such as color, texture and the curliness of your hair may also affect the cosmetic result. For example those with coarse, wavy hair can expect slightly better results than those with thin straight hair. The quality of the donor hair also greatly contributes to the overall outcome of the procedure. </p>
<p>Women often have higher expectations of hair transplant surgeries than men, so it’s important to known the limits and expect a reasonable outcome to avoid dissatisfaction. </p>
<h1>Preparing for Hair Transplant Surgery</h1>
<p>Before undergoing a hair transplant or scalp reduction you will first be require to under a medical examination. During the consultation your doctor will check your current medical condition and your medical history. They will also assess your scalp to determine what type of surgery is best for you. </p>
<h1>Hair Transplant Surgery Overview </h1>
<p>Hair replacement surgery, no matter what technique is used, is usually performed in an outpatient ward using a local anesthesia along with sedation to make you relaxed and comfortable.</p>
<h3>Micro/Punch Grafts</h3>
<p>Your scalp will be insensitive to pain, but you may be aware of some tugging or pressure. First the donor areas on the back and sides of the head will be evaluated.</p>
<p>A small section of tissue is removed from the donor area and is then dissected under magnification into individual hair follicular units and micro-grafts. These grafts are then strategically placed into bald or thinning areas.</p>
<p>The surgeon placed the single-hair follicular units at precise but varied angles in the frontal hair zone to create a soft, natural looking hairline.</p>
<p>More follicular units and micro-grafts are placed behind the hairline, providing density and volume to cover the larger balding areas. Placement of our grafts is designed to resemble naturally growing hair.</p>
<h3>Flap Surgery and Scalp Reduction </h3>
<p>These procedures are mainly used on patients seeking a more dramatic change. Flap surgery is capable of quickly covering large areas of baldness; one flap can do the work of 350 punch grafts.</p>
<p>Scalp reduction works in a similar way and is sometimes referred to as advancement flap surgery. However scalp reduction is only beneficial for balding at the top and back of the head.</p>
<p>During your evaluation the surgeon will assess which areas of the scalp will be used in the procedure. A section of bald scalp is then cut out and a flap of hair-bearing skin is stretched over the surface. The hair-bearing flap is brought into its new position and sewn into place, while remaining “tethered” to its original blood supply.</p>
<p>This technique can leave some visible scarring but as you heal the scar will become obscured by the relocated hair.</p>
<h1>Hair Transplant Surgery Results </h1>
<p>Naturally our hair grows slow, so don’t be disheartened when you don’t see immediate results. Hair will begin to grow within 3 months and will grow at the same rate as your natural hair. Results are usually complete in 8 to 12 months. And because the hair follicle keeps its original genetic coding, it behaves like the hair from the donor areas and will keep grow your whole lifetime.</p>
<p>How much hair is restored depends on the patient’s degree of hair loss and their desired result. Some needs are met in one hair transplant procedure; the goals of some others may be best achieved over multiple hair transplant surgeries.</p>
<p>To insure the best result, patients might be asked to perform some minor post-operative care. For the first week after the hair transplant you may need to adapt new cleansing routines, limit physical activity and the use of anti-swelling medication.</p>
<h1>Female Hair Transplant Surgery Recovery</h1>
<p>A hair transplant procedure is completed within two to six hours. Scabs will forms on the exterior of the scalp; these usually fall off after a week. The hair shaft may also shed, but the hair follicle remains and often goes into a resting phase.</p>
<p>With advanced micro-surgical techniques most patients will not a bandage, however if a bandage is required it should be removed the following day.</p>
<p>Patients will be able to return to their daily activities within 24 hours. Some patients have even returned to work the same day.</p>
<h1>Possible Risks of Female Hair Transplant Surgery</h1>
<p>Surgical techniques for restoring hair have improved greatly in the past couple of decades however as with all surgical procedures there are risks involved. </p>
<p>In transplant procedures there is a chance the grafts won’t take. It is normal to lose some hair before the plugs fully establish regrowth in their new location, however if the skin plug dies, then surgery may need to be repeated.</p>
