"So Dr, you want to disvirgin my 17yr old Daughter?"

The way she put it.🙄
"Not really Ma, to treat, we have to break her Hymen. She has IMPERFORATE HYMEN. That's why she hasn't menstruated. Absence of Hymen doesn't make her less a virgin, some are born w/o it🤷"
THREAD
#DrZobo
Mum did not look satisfied.

Her daughter was 17 and had never menstruated. Had never discharged or ovulated.

Did she have monthly cramps? Yes.
She also had a mass just below her abdomen which was burning.

Scan showed a fluid like collection.
Guess what it was....
#DrZobo
You guessed right.
"Madam, on examination, we discovered your daughter has an imperforate hymen. This means the hymen is blocking the vagina completely and so, nothing coming from up can come down, including her menses and Ovulation discharge, hence the fluid collection
#DrZobo
Mother: "Why me? Doc what can cause this? What will people say? So this young girl will just loose her virginity like that?"

I had some words to say to her, but I just sha took a sip from my zobo bottle.

How was 'Virginity' more important to her than this girl's health?
#DrZobo
" Ma'am, sorry to ask. Which is more vital to you? That your daughter be treated to let out all the menstrual fluid that has been accumulated or that she keep the hymen for a guy who might not be worth it in the end?🤷 Also Ma, What really is virginity?"

She began...
#DrZobo
"Virginity is a woman's pride. Her husband's pride. A woman is more respected by her husband when the next morning reveals a blood stained bed sheet"

Okokobioko!🙆
So this was were this was leading. Interesting. Bloody bedsheet.
Umunnem, Do I tell her?
Now Listen!👇
#SipsZobo
This table is for those looking for Hymen to Marry...
Virginity until marriage is Great! I endorse it! It is a choice.
But don't get it twisted, Just as Virginity is not directly proportional to Morality, so it is not to Hymen presence or Availability.
How?
Continue👇
#DrZobo
Every girl child is not the same. There are different types of hymen a girl can be born with (Check picture below).

And the amount of blood that will stain ya 'bedsheets' is directly proportional to thickness of the hymen, IF PRESENT at all.
Dear men, No hymen, No blood!
#DrZobo
Yes, Some Girls are born with Imperforate hymen.
In her case, she had been taken from one herbal Dr to the other with promises of healing from Hormonal Imbalance.
All it took was a Good history taking, Examination and a pelvic scan.
Do not self medicate!
#DrZobo
Mother was more interested in the loss of a Hymen.
Dear Public, a Virgin is simply one who has not had sexual intercourse with anyone.
If it were Hymen dependent, Guys will have theirs too.

She told you she is a virgin, you are looking for 'Proof', you will wound yasef
#DrZobo
There is a reason you married her in the first place, stick to that reason.

If she is a Virgin with a hymen or not, no longer a virgin, all good, as long as she is your choice. Stop judging women by a tiny inelastic material that could snap under light pressure.
#DrZobo
So dear woman, don't be scared if you don't bleed on your 1st time.
It's perfectly normal too.
The hymen can also be lost in people who engage in some certain sports and strenuous activities.

Cherish your 1st time when it's time, don't let anyone ruin it for you.
#DrZobo
I know some men who ended relationships and developed trust issues towards their wives and partners, just because there was no Blood on Bedsheet after she claimed virginity.

You might have some apologising to do. Esp in this era when virgins are rare. Use ya head.
#DrZobo
Dear Mr "I wanna confirm hymen", how can we confirm yours, abi it's a man's world na.

Well, as I told mama, we had to operate on her to rupture the hymen and let all the Menstrual fluid that had accumulated for months out.

Patient is fine and still a virgin.
#DrZobo
Dear African Mother "Show me your Hymen and I will tell you who you are", you should focus more on grooming Actual Ladies.

All some women have is their Hymen, character =Zero. Some, both. Some, character. Some, None.
Choose ye first the woman...

A short story FOR EVERY WOMAN.
It was 6am when she was brought in dead.
She had been Pushing and bleeding for hrs in a 'Maternity'. 1st Pregnancy.
Her husband was inconsolable. He rolled from one end of the compound to the other.
Our hearts were broken.
1 hour later...
#DrZobo
Dr Z walked out the hospital still reeling from the aftermath of the incident.
Maternal Mortality from Pennywise causes.
Hmm
Then she saw him.
In a bar just across. He was on his 3rd beer.
And no, he had no semblance with the Inconsolable 'Roller coaster' from 1 hr ago
#DrZobo
Then he saw her.
As if in reply to unasked questions, he started;
“Doc, Ka awachienu uwa George. Onwuola nu. She is gone. Life goes on.
I dey wait ambulance, I say make I take one bottle for the road.”
He sipped.

She wasn’t even cold yet.
Z nodded in condolence.
He spoke

Public CERVIX Announcement.
Do you have a Vagina?
You have a Cervix too.

The Cervix is the neck of the womb.
Cervical Cancer is an STD.
Do you have multiple Boos or A Boo with multiple Boos? You are at risk.

It is 100% preventable yet the No 2 CA in women🤷

Prevention
1) By Early Vaccination against Human Papilloma Virus (HPV), best before sexual exposure. Ages 9-26👌.
Vaccinate your girl child. Dear young women you too.

Note: Boys also benefit from HPV vaccination as it prevents them from Genital warts and Penile Cancer
#DrZobo
2) Screening. Cervical Screening for the sexually exposed.
-Pap Smear: takes 3 mins
- VIA (Visual Inspection with Acetic Acid) takes only 1 min
-HPV testing to make sure the strains are not in you already.

The last time I received a slap that sound, I was in SS2. It was mum.

This time my Slapper was 3. She was my patient. I was trying to examine her 'area'.

I looked up in shock, then I met her eyes. I shivered. One act of abuse had scarred yet another.😢

How? THREAD!👇
#DrZobo
A typical clinic day.
In walked She, mum and aunt.
Her Shiny black skin and full natural hair caught my eye.
She was 3.
Didn't look sick at all.

"Hey there happy Girl,Welcome, What brings you to the clinic today?", I started with a smile. One that soon turned sour👇
#DrZobo.
What she said hit me and suddenly made me reach for my Zobo bottle.
All that Glucose would come in handy.

"Come again please", I said

"E rapeuru ya yesterday" (She was raped yesterday)

Silence.
I looked at the Barbie.

"Who did that Ma'am?"

"My neighbour's son"

"Help Doc, My child is dying"
"What happened?"
"Convulsion"
What have you done so far?
"Everything o! I gave him palm kernel oil, I put spoon in his mouth, I gave anointing oil, even river Jordan water"
Me: "Nice, Science student. You just did everything to kill him"

#SipsZobo😒
About Convulsions,
It is scary to see your child have one, but note that children don't die from convulsions...
They instead die from aspiration of all the substances and items you put in their mouth.

Here's what you should do while you await medical attention.
#TipTuesday
Place your child on the floor on his or her side and clear away objects that are in close proximity.

Loosen tight clothing surrounding the head or neck.

Don't put anything in your child's mouth or try to stop the convulsion unless your pediatrician has told you what to do.
