Candiru — A Little Fish With Bad Habits: Need Travel Health Professionals Worry? A Review. Bauer IL J Travel Med 2013 Mar-Apr;20:119-124.
Abstract
Don’t know how I missed this paper when it was published 2 years ago. The author searched medical literature to answer the pressing question: Is there really a catfish native to the Amazon River that can swim up — and become embedded in — a man’s urethra?

LAVH for Fibroids and finally I can start living again! Sarah’s Story
I’m 46 years old, work full-time, have one daughter who is 20. I’m married to an Italian and live in Italy. I love sport. I am one of those people who is never ill! I’ve never taken one day sick in my life.
About 4 years ago I started having really bad menstrual problems, haemorrages and if you’re on holiday it’s not funny. After becoming anaemic I finally decided to go to a gynaecologist who told me I had big fibroids and the best thing was a hysterectomy. I managed to convince them to implant a IUD that released progesterone and the bleeding reduced.
Unfortunately in the last year my lifesty...
