child marriage returns, and immature moms die of childbirth
Sima says: “After the Taliban entered the country, I had just finished the sixth grade and was supposed to start the seventh. But two months later, my father pressured me immensely to marry my cousin.
,,,workers at one public hospital in northern Afghanistan revealed that 42 underage girls gave birth in the first five months of this year. Six were in their second pregnancy. Five had ectopic pregnancies – a leading cause of maternal deaths – and 18 had caesarean sections. Two died, though their babies survived.
Mothers who are still children themselves often haven’t completed their physical or psychological growth and face higher risk of severe bleeding, anaemia, miscarriage, obstructed labour and premature birth, along with a greater likelihood of a low-weight or unhealthy infant.
Shabnam says families often resist caesarean section, believing they limit future pregnancies. Two young mothers in her care recently died in childbirth because their husbands refused to permit one.
Afghan girls who have been barred from education above the sixth grade (about 12 years) since the Taliban returned to power. Many are now forced into marriage and premature motherhood. The Afghanistan Human Rights Center reports that one teacher estimated 70% of girls pushed out of school had been driven into forced marriages, while a smaller survey of 15 such girls found 66% of them were under 18.

the trouble with hormones
Yes the same medicines they use to transition kids.(and treat certain cancers).
So we pollute out water supply with waste water estrogen, not to mention hormones given to animals, and of course phytoestrogens in plastics and Glyphosate in herbicides. So down goes the sperm count. Up goes the metabolic syndrome and obesity.
But on the other hand, the alternative is having ten kids and getting rid of plastics which make life easier and safer (No broken glass bottles).
And mass starvation because weeds are destroying the crops.
Sigh.

Naltrexone: A new wonder drug?
this sounds like the discoveries about Ivermectin and cancer and against viral diseases.
and I had complicated Dengue with neurological and hematological changes but was not given anything but fluid.
since this is alternative medicine I couldn't find anything about Naltrexone and viral diseases like Dengue via google.
Could Ivermectin have helped? a 2020 paper suggests maybe. but it didn't change clinical outcome.
