masuunikuona
Masuunikuona is a Swahili word that translates to "elephantiasis" in English. It refers to a parasitic disease that causes severe swelling in the limbs, breasts, and genitals. The condition is primarily caused by filarial worms, transmitted by mosquitoes. These worms block the lymphatic system, leading to the accumulation of fluid and the characteristic enlargement of affected body parts.
The disease is most prevalent in tropical and subtropical regions. Symptoms can range from mild discomfort
Treatment for masuunikuona involves medication to kill the adult worms and microfilariae, as well as management
