Polio Types, Effects and Treatment in Pakistan








Polio

Polio is actually a viral infection that paralyses the body parts; the patient becomes unable to move and feels it difficult to breath. Polio is a contagious disease and it transfers from one person to other through the blood transformation. It attacks the immune system so that one cannot fight against it and remain unaware of this disease. There are rare chances, that Polio directly attacks the central nervous system. If it happens then Polio paralyses neurons system, which results into weak joints and paralysis. There are different types of Polio virus which attack the different body parts. Polio treatment is possible if it is diagnosed at its earlier stages, if not diagnosed in time, it can paralyze any body part badly.


Polio Schedule
Polio has different kinds, out of those some are discussed following.

Spinal Polio:
As its name shows that, it affects the motor neurons and spinal cord because of that, your legs and arms can be paralyzed or you might feel difficulty in breathing.

Bulbar Polio:

Transmission and symptoms of Polio:
Virus that causes polio transmits from one person to other person through the polluted environment and poor sewerage system. As it is stated earlier that it is a contagious disease that transmits from the affected person to others through water, used clothes or through physical contact with that person. It is a sort of silent disease that does not show any clear symptoms at its early stage, because of that most of the people being unaware of its existence do not go for checkup or treatment.

Polio badly affects the whole world during 1998 and to stop its attack all of the countries took preventive measures, because of that now there are only few countries, which are suffering from polio and Pakistan is one of them. Therefore, we should take precautions and support the government in the polio campaign.

  3. I was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of the
    liver already present. I started on antiviral medications which
    reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus
    became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from
    ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (www.ultimatelifeclinic.com) in March, 2020. Their
    treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after
    the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing
    treatment! This treatment is a breakthrough for all HBV carriers.
