Kenyan Doctor Warns Husbands of Couples Seeking Pregnancy to Get off The Breast

Breastfeeding suppresses the production of hormones necessary for conception, Doctor Says

A Kenyan doctor has warned that couples who want to get pregnant should be careful about the way the man handles the wife’s breast. The Talkshow Medic cautioned that men should desist from sucking their wives’ breasts if they want them to get pregnant. This is already making a lot of men angry saying such advice will only make their wives pull back their breasts which is already not easy to access.

The doctor explained that breastfeeding is a form of contraceptive to the woman.  He argued that when the baby puts its mouth on the nipple, the brain receives the message that breastfeeding is taking place. As a result the glands in the body stop releasing the hormones that produce eggs for conception. The problem is that when a man sucks the nipple, the brain cannot differentiate whether it is a child breastfeeding or daddy that has taken over. It does not matter who is doing the sucking, the signals would be sent to the glands to stop making hormones that produce eggs.

He advices the men who were pissed off that ‘you always have to sacrifice something for something. And added “I know couples who decided to stop sucking and the woman is pregnant”

Uganda Women Won’t Let Police Check their Breasts

Geof Magga, Afrik-News

Women in Uganda have protested against their breasts being checked for bombs at entry points to public places.

The protest comes after a directive from the police demanding that womens’ bras should be checked thoroughly. They argue that terrorists are now manufacturing suicide bombs similar to bras.

Uganda police counter terrorism expert, Lodovick Awita while addressing public places operators in Kampala said “Terrorits are devising new methods of attack to beat the tight security measures. They are now making suicide bomb vests similar to bras. We therefore appeal to security personnel to check women’s bras.”

Anger

But women in Uganda have not taken the information lightly. “That is tatamount to abusing our privacy. Why should they touch our breasts simply because they claim they are checking for bombs. Breasts are among the most private parts of women and should no be touched by anyone,” said women’s activist Salama Namuddu during a press interview in Kampala today.

Namuddu believes that instead of giving security personnel a valid pretext to touch women’s breasts, the police should rather place metal detectors at all entry points to public places.

According to her “In this modern world there are gadgets which can be used to detect bombs rather than physical checking of individuals. They can use metal and bomb detectors.”

A women’s rights advocate, Beatrice Akie, has also spoken against the directive. “If they insist on checking us with their hands we will demonstrate against it” says Beatrice.

But whilst Namaddu argues that modern gadgets should be used, Beatrice Akie She explains that although women should be thoroughly checked for security reasons, it should be done in a way that does not abuse their rights, like the use of scanners.

Uganda is under threats of attacks by Al Shabab who accuse it for taking its troops Somalia for peacekeeping missions.
