Change in Milk Bacteria and Effect in Teenage Girls
Milk has been known to be important in the growth of human beings as well as other suckling mammals. This fact that cuts every corner of the globe may make it hard for one to comprehend that milk also has disease causing bacteria. Scientists however, have proven beyond any reasonable doubt that indeed such bacteria exist in milk. The list of these bacteria is endless and the diseases caused by them have had extensive effects on human body functioning. Change in milk bacteria has been found to affect the prevalence of a number of diseases. To counter this, pasteurization of milk was discovered to kill a huge number of diseases causing bacterium. However, pasteurization does not kill every bacterium (Gupta 52).
Milk products such as cheese, yoghurt and butter carry the potential of having some bacterium in them. Their consumption in large numbers is relative to an increasing risk of affection. For instance, increased intake milk products correlate with but do not necessarily cause adolescent acne. At this point, it is good to note that milk has two layers one that contains fat and one that does not. The fatty layer has hormones such as progesterone and androgens that stimulate acne. Acne leads to hormonal imbalances and thus abnormal experiences in regard to menstruation (Fox 45).
The number of diseases caused by bacteria is large but this paper intends to focus on female genital tuberculosis as one of them. Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacterium causes this disease. A person suffering from this disease, experiences the following symptoms; abdominal pain from the lower side, oligomenorrhoea, menstrual disorders, infertility, dyspareunia, vaginal discharges, fatigue, pelvic mass, weightloss among many others. The major treatments include surgery and chemotherapy and use of antituberculosis drugs(Zourob 22). The false believe that close contact can lead to transmission of the disease has resulted to the victims being stigmatized.
The treatment taking sixth months and above is expensive both to the self and to the government. Studies have shown that most people who suffer from this disease are young, the working bracket, a reduction in the labor force occurs, and a fall in gross domestic product is seen if the number of victims is high like in India. This disease runs over every sphere of the world although the percentages vary. Geographical distribution shows that India has been in the lead followed by Scotland and Saudi Arabia respectively while Australia, USA and Finland have managed less than one percent. The historical perspective has reflected that Africa has been leading in mortality rates resulting from this calamity (Gupta 53).
Nations have taken measures on prevention of disease to their nationals. Developing nations have embarked on poverty alleviation methodologies. Poverty dictates poor nutrition, inaccessibility to information, poor housing and welfare and is thus expedient to have measures to reduce and control it. Amongst the strategies is equal distribution of funds, enhancement of the rule of law, providence of social amenities ranging from health centers, schools to administration offices and equity in education. These countries have also embarked in building research centers and funding universities and colleges involved in medical research (Zourob 23). up infrastructures against corruption embezzlement and manipulation of funds in the health ministries. These nations through the ministries of health have integrated programs to engage the WHO programs that include vaccinations and immunizations.
Developed countries have directed their efforts in the formulation and implementation of laws and policies against industrial environmental pollution, production and marketing of genetically modified foods and global warming activities. Both developed and developing countries have formed joint unions to strategize on how to promote the health welfare of their nationals. The World Health Organization (WHO) has held a different position altogether. It advocates for enactment of emergency intervention programs, in case of breakouts, promotion of research on new methods of preventing and controlling diseases. They have also set up research centers in different localities in the world, implementation of a well-organized program for preventive chemotherapy to reduce and get rid of helminth diseases, formulation of an annual work manual to coordinate the implementation of national vaccination and other disease prevention strategies in all member nations. It has also formulated an international joint program for reporting of the progress of set programs, after reporting analysation and remedies are made. The WHO also participates in distribution of drugs to hit areas through a joint program. Comparing what nations have done towards prevention of diseases with the standards of World Health Organization they still have a long way to go (Fox 46).
It is, therefore, expedient to work together with the World Health Organization to bring forth working programs to the ground. Dissemination of information is also supposed to be two-way, to World Health Organization, and to the countries if this battle is to be won. Governments are also supposed to develop forums to educate the public on how to protect themselves against outbreaks, towards a better and healthy a labor forces
