Health Issues
It has come to my attention through my own experiences and news/media coverage that there are some health issues out there that people need to be more educated on. Two in particular are Endometriosis and Prostate Cancer. I am going to provide my own experiences and links to very cool informative sites here. If you have symptoms of either of these problems, please visit your doctor/gyn as soon as humanly possible!
Endometriosis: Endometriosis has a very wide variety of symptoms, sometimes none at all. I personally had very sharp lower abdominal pains that would literally put me on my knees and abnormally painful periods. This is serious as it can cause infertility in some women. Treatments include but are not limited to:
Herbal (homeopathic) treatments.
Laparoscopy. (see http://www.laparoscopy.com for more information)
Hysterectomy (see http://www.hysterectomy-association.org.uk/info/hyster/hyster.htm for more information)
Hormone Therapy ( see http://www.aafp.org/afp/991015ap/1753.html for more information)
Prostate Cancer: Yeah, Ok so I am a woman and my husband has never had this. I still think it is important to give some informative links on the subject, as this is an important health risk for men.
