'Ive been dealing with the difficulties': Barbara Palvin on Endometriosis diagnosis after undergoing surgery
Washington DC [US], August 18 (ANI): Hungarian model and actor Barbara Palvin opened up about her health battle, sharing that she has been diagnosed with endometriosis and is recovering from the surgery, reported E! News. "Just a little update and a few thoughts for those out there who could relate to what I'm about to share," Barbara wrote in her Instagram post, adding, "For some years now I've been dealing with the difficulties that can come with my periods. Fatigue, severe pain, heavy and irregular flow, sleepless nights on the bathroom floor." "I thought this was just how it works for me," she continued. "But recently I've been advised to seek out an endometriosis specialist to see whether my symptoms are caused by that. I've been going to checkups to my gynecologist every year, I thought if I had endometriosis I would have known about it by now, but as it turns out, endometriosis can't be diagnosed with general examinations." Three months after being diagnosed with endometriosis, a disorder in which tissue similar to the inner lining of the uterus grows outside the uterus, according to The Mayo Clinic, the actor has to undergo surgery for the treatment, as per the outlet. "Since then I finally experienced a period that was easier, and now I know the difference," she said. "If you suspect that you could have endometriosis I encourage you to find it out. It helped me a lot, and I'm grateful I did it," reported E! News. "Early diagnosis and treatment are very important to prevent long-term complications, and now I'm more mindful about my body to act fast if needed," she added. "That's also why I took the past 3 months to rest and fully heal. I'm excited about this new chapter of my life and now ready to get back to work." Barbara also posted a few pictures showing her condition. In one of the pictures, she was seen in a hospital gown and in the other with bandages post-surgery. Meanwhile, actor Dylan Sprouse talked about his wife, Barbara Palvin, earlier in an interview, sharing what he learned from her, reported E! News. "In general, marriage has taught me a lot of patience and communication," he said earlier this month. "Obviously, that's the cliche, that people say communication is key, but it really is. It's also just understanding you're both human and you both do things."

These 9 Tips Made Night Driving Less Scary (and Less Dangerous)
Driving always comes with its share of risks. I've dealt with everything from deer jumping into the road to unexpected debris that comes out of nowhere. But once the sun goes down, those hazards get a lot harder to see and a whole lot more dangerous. I've learned that driving at night takes extra focus and a few added precautions to stay safe. Whether it's adjusting how I use my headlights or being more alert on back roads, there are some simple steps that make a big difference when visibility drops. Many newer vehicles have brighter headlights, causing more glare and afterimages while destroying your night vision. Overly bright LED bulbs and laser emitters make driving more disorienting than ever. Older drivers and anyone with vision problems such as astigmatism, glaucoma or near-sightedness, may also have a harder time seeing on the road because their vision is already compromised. While these problems can affect anyone, there's good news. Cleaning your windshield and taking advantage of high beams can provide a safer driving experience at night. We've collected the best tips to keep you safe -- whether you're driving home from work at dusk or you plan to drive through the night on your next road trip. Getty Images 9 tips for safer driving at night Luckily, there are a few simple ways to reduce vision problems when driving after dark. Keep your windshield clean to reduce glare Glare can increase when your windshield is dirty, as dirt disperses light. Certain treatments, like rain repellent, can also increase glare on your windshield at night. Keep your windshield as clear as possible to reduce glare and help visibility. AAA says a dirty windshield can also limit or obstruct your field of vision, and it recommends cleaning your windshield at least once a week. Keep your headlights clean The Mayo Clinic says you can also help increase visibility by ensuring your headlights are free from dirt and debris. Checking for clean headlights is especially important if you live in a dusty region or are in an area where hitting bugs is common. Use high beams when necessary Be sure to use your high beams on rural roads near forests or fields and, as the National Safety Council recommends, on longer or wider stretches of road. High beams can help you see deer in these instances, but avoid using high beams in rain or fog, as it can reduce visibility. Turn off high beams when going up hills or around bends to avoid shining high beams in other drivers' eyes. Don't look directly at oncoming headlights It may be instinctive to look directly at a flash of oncoming headlights coming over the hill or around a corner but practice averting your gaze. Looking into bright headlights can temporarily impair your vision and may also leave afterimages, making it harder to see once the vehicle has passed. Check headlight alignment during car inspections The Mayo Clinic also recommends working with your mechanic to ensure headlights are correctly aimed. Wear and tear on your car can cause misalignment and some cars are manufactured with misaligned headlights. US laws don't require manufacturers to test alignment after the headlights are installed, according to NBC News. The result can be devastating glare for other nighttime drivers plus reduced visibility for your interior lights Interior lights should always be off or dimmed when driving at night. They make your eyes more used to light, which can reduce your night vision (our eyes typically take a few minutes to adjust to darkness). If your interior lights are on to help you or a passenger)see something inside your vehicle, it may add to the existing distractions. Interior lights are also one more light source to reflect off your windshield. Keep your eyeglasses clean Like dirt on a windshield, smudges on your glasses can disperse light and add to glare problems. Clean your eyewear properly, using a cloth made for eyeglasses, warm water or moisturizer-free mild dish soap, according to Heartland Optical. Wiping your glasses on your shirt may be a common practice but it can also introduce dirt and scratch lenses, obscuring vision further.

Also, you can look into anti-reflective lenses, which have a coating that decreases reflective light. Avoid eyeglass styles that obstruct peripheral vision. Other options include night driving glasses, which commonly have yellow lenses designed to reduce glare from headlights. Be sure to talk to your doctor before using them; some professionals think they could make your night vision worse instead of better. Read more: Are You Squinting Right Now? It's Time to Get Your Vision Checked Keep yourself alert for driving Even small time changes can leave us feeling jet-lagged. Daylight saving time can throw off your circadian rhythm (that internal clock that tells you when to go to bed and when to stay up), according to Northwestern Medicine, and being tired can lead to blurred vision. Adjusting to the end of daylight saving time can help you be more alert for driving. Check out our guide to recalibrating your internal alarm clock.

Here's When It's Safe To Work Out With A Cold, According To A Sports Medicine Expert
Most of us give up our New Year's resolutions by February. But if yours was the most common UK goal ― to exercise more ― we can't really blame you for temporarily putting it on pause. The exercise-heavy month has coincided with a surge in flu cases; it feels like everyone I know has either a full-blown infection or the sniffles right now. But let's say you're determined to keep that 5k run streak going anyway. Is it ever okay to work out with a cold ― or should you listen to your body and try to rest? OK, it might feel like lifting weights with a blocked nose will get you martyr points. But those won't actually help you recover faster ― and doctors don't seem to approve. University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust writes, 'If you are unwell such as if you have a cold, or you're experiencing discomfort then you should not exercise. Leave it for another day.' Dr Edward R. Laskowski is a little more permissive, telling The Mayo Clinic that you might be OK to exercise if your symptoms are 'above the neck' (coughing, sneezing, a runny nose). But that only works if it's less intense exercise, and doesn't apply if you have muscle aches or signs 'below the neck,' like a chesty cough, wheeze, or upset stomach. The American Lung Association agrees with the 'above the neck' ruling, though they add that you must stay hydrated if you insist on exercising with a cold and reaffirm that those with a fever and sore muscles should take it easy. 'Listen to your body, if you feel like you can't handle it, take a break and allow the body to rest and heal,' nurse Traci Gonzales told the association. She adds, 'be mindful of spreading your germs if you decide to work out in an area with other people. Cold and flu viruses are highly contagious and easily spread.' If you think your cold could be Covid, you should almost certainly avoid that heavy lifting session or long-distance run. Dr. Van Iterson told Cleveland Clinic: 'If you push your body too hard during an active COVID infection, you could make your symptoms worse and increase your risk of long COVID.' UCLA Health even found that periods of intense exercise may cause long Covid flare-ups. Though we're not yet completely sure about the relationship between Covid and exercise, we haven't seen any signs performing push-ups in the midst of your stuffy suffering will help.
