The rationales for a pelvic exam in asymptomatic women boil down to these: Screening for chlamydia and gonorrhea Evaluation before prescribing hormonal contraceptives Screening for cervical cancer Early detection of ovarian cancer None of these are supported by the evidence. Eliminating bimanual exams and limiting speculum exams in asymptomatic patients would reduce cos...

So here we go. Many of these stats I assembled from the book Understanding Depression by J. Raymond DePaulo Jr., MD, Professor of Psychiatry at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. Others I picked in articles here and there. Depression and Gender More women are depressed than men because women have more to be depressed about than men. Kidding, of course. But I still don’t understand how our gender got stuck with labor pains and all that. Almost one in five women in the US will have one or more episodes of clinical depression, which is TWO or THREE times the rate of depressive illness that men have. Some say the discrepancy can be attr...

What they won’t tell you is that this effect is variable and dose-dependent, and if we depended on it alone, hormonal contraception would be much less effective. That’s because of the very important, and in my opinion, much under-appreciated effect of hormonal contraception on cervical mucus. A Cervical Mucus Primer Fertile cervical mucus – which forms under the influence of rising estrogen levels in the first half of the menstrual cycle and is maximal around ovulation –- is thin, watery, clear and easy for sperm to traverse. Non-fertile mucus — which forms after ovulation and also in pregnancy under the influence of progesterone –- is...

The article concludes that oestrogen plus progestin was associated with greater breast cancer incidence, and the cancers are more commonly node-positive. Breast cancer mortality also appears to be increased with combined use of oestrogen plus progestin.

I have been in love with flip-flops (also known as thongs) all summer long, so my feet are constantly exposed to the sun. I have been pretty careful about sun exposure since my early twenties. My skin has benefited from my caution, but with all the new information about vitamin D and its effects on cancer prevention, I wonder if this has been a good practice or not. I have written a little about the importance of vitamin D supplementation before, especially for women needing calcium or for those on hormonal drugs like aromatase inhibitors. Vitamin D may protect against bone loss in women taking Arimidex, a type of aromatase inhibitor, and lessen the bone, muscle, and joint pain that are known side effects of this drug.

Watch CBS News Videos Online Does The Pill Lower Sex Drive? The pill that ushered in the sexual revolution may have also thrown cold water on women’s libido. Fifty years ago, on May 9th, 1960, the FDA announced the approval of oral contraception. The birth control pill has allowed women to control their reproductive cycle, delay childbearing, and develop careers. But it also may have the potential to disrupt sexuality by blocking normal hormonal surges that occur in a woman’s cycle. Here’s how.

After five years of trotting off to the same office, I still look forward to visiting my old support network that saw me through chemotherapy. It appears though that after five years, the old support staff has changed. The oncology nurses that hooked me up to the drip bags have all moved on to other jobs and I didn’t recognize anyone in the chemo clinic this visit. Maybe that’s a good thing. Nothing to link me to the chemo period. This visit I met with my doctor’s physician assistant.

The test also measures how likely her cancer will return in the future. Well, new research found that Oncotype DX Test may also help predict the return of colon cancer, and affect the treatment course of a patient. A patient with low “odds of recurrence” may not need chemotherapy, and can stick to surgery alone. Oncotype DX Test for colon cancer is similar to the ones that is used in breast cancer, but the colon-cancer test is not as strong in predicting recurrence than breast cancer, but the test is useful nonetheless.

One study looked at postmenopausal women taking estrogen plus progestins (Prempro) for control of hot flashes and night sweats. The other study looked at postmenopausal women who have had a hysterectomy and were taking estrogen (Premarin) for control of these symptoms. · In 2002 one WHI study was halted, because the women taking Prempro had more heart attacks than the ones who did not. At the time, this caused great confusion among women, an great surprise among physicians.

The goal of the hormonal therapy is to reduce the levels of the male hormones, called androgens, in the body. The main androgen is testosterone. Androgens can stimulate prostate cells to grow and lowering the levels often makes prostate cancer cells shrink or grow more slowly. The Annals of Internal Medicine published an article that says Fosamax (alendronate) can prevent and even reverse bone loss associated with hormonal treatment for prostate cancer. A trial was conducted that showed after one year bone density had increased among patients treated with Fosamax but had decreased among patients who received a placebo. If you are receiving hor...

Otherwise feminizing our your boys and girls and adult men is probably not a great idea. I personally don't want to see more feminization than we are already have with young school age boys. The current appearances and body shapes are alarming enough.Remember NONE of what is written above is intended to diagnose or treat any disease etcs etcs etc. Contact your health care provider who may or may not know what you are even talking about (Source: Dr. Steve Clouthier) Dr. Steve Clouthier blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=471193 Mon, 15 Jan 2007 04:24:00 +0100 471193
