Answer:

It is important to learn the prefixes and suffixes because it not only helps in improving the reading but it can also help to understand the term itself

In medical field, if u just learn the prefixes and suffixes and their meaning (because they are either Greek or Latin words), you don't need to memorize all the names of diseases and other terminology because you understand the components. For example 1 prefix or suffix can be used in many other places :

The suffix "genesis" is a Greek word, meaning to produce something. It can be used in many terms

  • Osteogenesis
  • Gametogensis
  • Pathogensis

In all  these words, we know something is being produced, even if we don't know the word, it gives us a hint.!

Itll be smarter to know the affixes instead because then you can infer what the meaning is instead of having to memorize words

Braxton Hicks contractions.

Braxton Hicks contractions are a tightening in your abdomen that comes and goes. They are contractions of your uterus in preparation for giving birth. They tone the muscles in your uterus and may also help prepare the cervix for birth.

Braxton Hicks contractions feel like muscles tightening across your belly, and if you put your hands on your belly when the contractions happen, you can probably feel your uterus becoming hard.

The contractions come irregularly and usually last for about 30 seconds. While they can be uncomfortable, they usually aren’t painful.

If the pain or discomfort of your contractions eases off, they’re probably Braxton Hicks contractions.

Jeremy is going with dehydration and electrolyte imbalance which commonly thought to be the cause of muscle cramps. This is most evident factor when training in hot and humid conditions due to an increased loss of electrolytes through sweat.

Exercise associated muscle cramps are mainly treated with hydration and electrolyte supplementation but this could be neglecting the underlying cause of cramps during or after exercise. The most effective way of treating cramps before they affect body athletic performance is neuromuscular re-education.

What is neuromuscular re-education?

Neuromuscular re-education involves training weak, underactive muscles to help balance the work load..

Charle horse is type of a cramp which occurs when the muscle involuntarily contracts and cannot relax. The calves and thighs are two of the most common areas affected, although cramps can strike hands, arms, abdomen, and feet. They typically last from several seconds to a few minutes, and athletic person can often feel a knot when presses the painful area.
