Benefits of Ginseng for Breast Cancer

Uterine fibroids—non-cancerous growths within the wall of the uterus—sneak up on women. Nearly a third of sufferers wait more than a year before seeking treatment.

By that time, 38% of women with the condition say it severely affects their life, making activities like working out and sex, painful, finds a recent survey commissioned by the US -based Women’s Health Resource Centre. Gynecologists can catch the growths pretty easily, so keep up your scheduled visits to ensure that you can get treatment early. And bring any of these symptoms to your doctor’s attention as soon as possible.

Question: When my period starts, I get the runs. Why?

Answer: The hormonal shift that triggers your bleeding is probably responsible for your bout of busy bowels. Before your period, your body pumps out prostaglandins— hormone-like chemicals that make smooth muscles contract. That prostaglandin spike is great for sloughing off uterine tissue, but not much fun when it contracts your intestines.

Just This Once

Unprotected sex is more likely to get a woman pregnant than experts once thought. Couples are 24% more likely to have sex at ovulation—precisely when the woman is most fertile, which makes emergency contraceptives like I-pill relevant.


What keeps you tossing and turning all night? The Sleep tracker Pro may help you find out. It looks like an everyday wristwatch, but at night, it records sleep levels hour by hour, based on a tiny accelerometer that detects subtle movements.

You download the data to a computer and tag each report with icons for the previous day’s behaviors, such as eating a late dinner, exercising, or drinking alcohol.
