WHY SO MANY WOMEN ARE DEVELOPING OVARIAN CYSTS TODAY
Achalugo: Obiageli, why is it that every time I open social media, I see one woman talking about ovarian cysts or PCOS? Was it this common before?
Obiageli: No, Achalugo. It wasn’t this common before. But the truth is, our lifestyle today is creating the perfect environment for cysts to form.
Achalugo: Perfect environment? How?
Obiageli: Ovarian cysts form when ovulation is irregular.
Your ovaries are supposed to release one egg every month.
But when hormones get confused, ovulation is blocked or delayed, and a cyst can form instead.
Achalugo: So what is confusing the hormones now that wasn’t happening before?
Obiageli: Several things.
First — our diet.
We eat too many refined carbs: bread, noodles, biscuits, soda, sugar.
All these spike insulin.
High insulin tells the ovaries to produce more androgen — that’s male hormone.
When that hormone is high, ovulation is disrupted.
Achalugo: So my everyday bread and tea could be part of the problem?
Obiageli: Exactly. It’s not about one slice of bread, it’s about what you eat most of the time.
When your meals are mostly processed carbs with little vegetables or protein, your ovaries don’t get the nutrients they need to function properly.
Achalugo: Hmm. Apart from food, what else?
Obiageli: Stress.
Our mothers worked hard, yes, but they had a rhythm. They slept early, ate fresh food, and moved their bodies naturally.
We are now living on late nights, constant deadlines, and back-to-back stress.
Chronic stress raises cortisol, which steals resources from reproductive hormones.
Your ovaries get less signal, and your cycle becomes irregular.
Achalugo: That’s probably why my periods have been acting funny since I started this new job.
Obiageli: Exactly. And don’t forget hormone disruptors.
Plastics, pesticides, skin-lightening creams, even some hair relaxers contain xenoestrogens — fake estrogens that confuse your body and throw your cycles off.
Achalugo: So it’s not just about bad luck, we are literally living in a hormone-trapping society.
Obiageli: Yes. That’s why so many women today are battling cysts, PCOS, irregular periods, even infertility.
Achalugo: So what do I do?
Obiageli: Start with your plate.
— Eat more vegetables, beans, fish, and whole grains.
— Cut off sugar and processed snacks that spike insulin.
— Drink water instead of soda.
— Add healthy fats like avocado and olive oil. They support hormone production.
Then, fix your lifestyle:
— Sleep early so your hormones reset.
— Manage stress intentionally.
— Limit plastics and chemical-heavy beauty products.
— And do a scan if you notice pelvic pain, constant bloating, or missed periods.
Achalugo: Hmm. So cyst prevention starts in the kitchen and in my daily habits.
Obiageli: Exactly. Food is not just for filling your stomach, it’s hormone information.
Feed your ovaries right, and they will reward you with a steady, healthy cycle.
Achalugo: I hear you. No more bread and soda as my daily meal plan.
Obiageli: Good girl. Your future self will thank you for every healthy choice you make today.

May Allah have mercy on them, forgive their shortcomings and admit them into paradise.
Innalillahi wa inna ilaihi rajiun.

I am excited to announce the publication of my final M.Eng. research paper in the Journal of Water Research Q1; IF = 11.4

Since I run a thrift store, I might as well drop a few tips.
1. Always buy first grade. Second grade isn't so bad either. If you go below these two grades na wash and die you don buy.
2. Go in the morning for quality stuff and variety. Go in the evening if you like awoof but then e dey run belle
3. Don't buy outfits you have nothing to pair them with in your wardrobe
4. When you see an outfit you like, use style to check the quality and never show excitement. Failure to do this means you will be billed according to the level of your excitement.
5. Quality over quantity. Using 4000 to buy one good okirika shirt is better than using 4000 to buy 5 clearance shirts.
6. Fabric type plays a role in the longevity of your items
7. Bale stains do not easily come off. If you must buy them, make sure the items are fabrics that will maintain integrity when bleached
8. If you want to buy a collared shirt, always check the collar, if it is curving anyhow, forget it.
9. While going to the market, dress like Sapa has you on a chokehold.
10. Shine your eyes!!! Failure to do this means your eyes go clear for house.
May the creators of Ilovepdf never know hunger. May they never lack. May their cups never run dry🥹. May goodness and mercy follow them all the days if their lives🥹🙏
This behavior that we have normalize is so stupid.

This is a reminder that over 20medical students have been kidnapped somewhere around Benue state yet nothing has been done.
Nobody rescued.
Nobody has been saved.
Whether they are dead or alive, nobody knows.
Tomorrow, this lunatic government will ask doctors in diaspora to “come home” and wonder why they refuse.
The Federal Government needs to know that not all of us drive in police escorts, bulletproof cars and armed escorts. Some of us just want to get to our destination safely.
20 Medical Students were kidnapped in Benue today. We don’t want your excuses. Get them back! Please!!!
