Me And HPV

What is HPV?

There are over 100 different types of HPV. Some types of HPV cause warts on the hands or feet, and other types can cause warts or abnormal cell changes on the genitals. Many people with HPV do not know they have it because they have all kinds of symptoms. This was my case, I had no symptoms and do not feel bad, is not this kind of virus.

One very important thing that I must be understood, finally, if you have not, you can get rid of it.Well, say, the boy who did not leave me. To know a very important detail, abnormal Pap test. I always had this abnormal Pap - I was like, what the hell is going on here. Well, I know all about them now, and I know that can cause cancer of the cervix. The most important thing is to treat HPV abnormal cells before hand.

I am on the procedure that I had in another article.

At least there Gardisil, I recommend to allto get vaccinated young woman, especially when you are sexually active, better still, protection - a condom.

Here are the guidelines according to the American Cancer Society for early detection of cervical cancer

1. All women should begin cervical cancer about 3 years after that start with vaginal intercourse but no later than when 21 years. Screening should be done every year with regular Pap test or every 2 years with the most recentLiquid Pap test.

2. Since the age of 30 women, 3 had normal Pap test results of a series that can be checked every 2 or 3 years. Another useful option for women over 30 are screened every 3 years (but not more frequently) or with conventional or liquid Pap test and HPV DNA testing. Women who have certain risk factors such as diethylstilbestrol (DES) exposure before birth, HIV infection or a weakened immune systemUsing organ transplant, chemotherapy or chronic steroid screening should continue every year.

3. Women 70 years of age or older, who have 3 or more normal Pap tests in a row and no abnormal Pap tests in the last 10 years may choose to stop smoking with cancer of the cervix. Women with a history of cervical cancer, DES exposure before birth, HIV infection, or should a weakened immune system should continue to have screening if kept in goodHealth.

4. Women who have had a total hysterectomy (removal of the uterus and cervix) may choose to stop cervical cancer, if the operation was performed to treat cervical cancer or pre -cancer. Women who have had a hysterectomy without removal of the cervix should continue to follow the guidelines above.

There are many types of HPV, which can be transmitted through sexual contact. That is why in my last post, I strongly recommend always protecteda condom. The main differences are the types of low-risk HPV that cause external genital wars that are not, for example, the type as a high risk of cervical cancer were found.

Many sexually active people are exposed to more than one species in the course of their lives, but regular checks, if this is the case. Like any other woman is sexually active should have a woman with warts, Pap tests at regular intervals.

Well let me tell you say, as I was misinformed about thisWarts. The gynecologist has always said that I had these warts. I was like warts, I was still looking for them. I looked at my pants down in search of these warts, I feel once again, but I could not see them. So I thought, somebody is wrong. One can believe that I did not recognize the common sense, were on the inside?
I'm serious - I think I was in denial. It 'made my skin crawl to think that something strange inside my body.

General information on contraception

Common features of contraception

Prevent contraception - a method of one or both partners in a pregnancy - has been used in one form or another practiced since ancient times. However, until relatively recently, techniques have been developed that are statistically reliable, safe, and adapt sufficiently distinct to specific circumstances.

A single method of contraception is perfect from every angle. Some methods are undoubtedly moremore reliable than others, some are more suited to a particular sexual practices at a particular time of life, and some are funny, his aesthetic sense and belief.

"Natural"

Rhythm. This procedure involves abstaining from sexual relations in this part of the cycle, when ovulation occurs. Since each pair of women with regular ovulation method is the precise rhythm is probably inherent inaccuracies. There are several ways to determineWhen ovulation occurs, to include the counting of days from the date of last period, watching for the slight increase in temperature, which usually ovulation or the finding of a change in vaginal secretion of a thick white discharge a thin, sparse, accompanied translucent, an abundant, take another ovulation. None of them is easy, but.

Resignation. This is the oldest method of contraception, and one that is still widespread in many parts of the world, is practiced.E 'on the technique of withdrawal (coitus interruptus) - Withdrew in which the penis just before orgasm, and deposited the seed out of the vagina. This method is considered reliable, and generally unsatisfactory and leads to tensions are built in the sexual act.

Pill

The pill is the most popular and most effective method of reversible contraception available today. Oral contraceptives are available in two versions: the combination pill that contains syntheticEstrogen and progestin prevents ovulation and alters the mucous secretions of the vagina and the mini pill, it alters the mucous secretions of the cervix so that sperm can not penetrate the barrier and the endometrium so that implantation of the fertilized impossible. Of the two, is more reliable than the combined pill, even though both have a very high success rate. Most women, especially younger than 30 or 35, can certainly usethe pill, even if the combined pill is not usually for women over 35 who smoke, as recommended an increased risk of heart disease and the formation of blood clots.

Intrauterine devices

An intrauterine device (IUD), as the name suggests, is a device that is inserted into the uterus of contraception by a doctor. Once in place, no additional contraceptive effect is required. They can be used for at least a year if they are properly equipped and there is left to undesirable results.This is something less effective as the pill.

Spirals are available in different ways, but all are equipped with a cable that extends to the outside are delivered from the cervix into the vagina so that the institution ensures that the device can provide. Proper installation by an expert is a critical aspect of effectiveness of this device.

While the spirals are generally safe for most women, there are some contraindications for its use. These include pregnancy, fibroids, anemia,Abnormal Pap test, a continuous treatment with drugs like cortisone, previous ectopic pregnancy and pelvic inflammatory disease. Recent studies also show that users tend to spiral severe pelvic inflammatory disease compared to those who develop other methods.

Barrier methods

The use of barrier methods of contraception - condoms, diaphragm, spermicides and agents - in recent years has increased by a number of reasons. For example, genital herpes and othersexually transmitted diseases epidemic proportions, methods of barrier probably lower the rate of spread of these diseases. For women whose sex life will be held periodically at random intervals, day after day, taking the pill or wearing a spiral seems out of proportion to their needs.

Condom. condom or "rubber", is second only to a pill as the most popular form of contraception in the United States and remains the most used appliance in the world. InIn addition to protecting against pregnancy and disease, condoms are readily available and are made of material so thin that interfere with the sensation was eliminated almost completely. Extra effective and easier integration is achieved through the use of a spermicidal agent.

Membrane. The diaphragm is a soft rubber cap, surrounded by a flexible ring that is inserted into the vagina to cover the entrance of the cervix. Earlier, the traffic when the deviceCoated with a spermicidal jelly, which offers both a chemical and mechanical barrier. A diaphragm must be fitted individually by a doctor and be checked for proper adhesion about once a year, especially after pregnancy, abortion or a significant change in weight. It should also periodically for holes or other damage to the subsidiary. Other benefits include possible protection against cervical infections and sexually transmitted diseases.

Spermicidal agents. of these chemicals - in the form ofCreams, gels, foams and suppositories - to act in two ways: when it is inserted into the vagina before intercourse: They kill sperm, and create a barrier in place. If used alone, are not completely reliable. In combination with a condom or a diaphragm, form a relatively high level of effectiveness when used correctly and consistently. However, some users complain about various contraceptive barrier of hardship and disruption caused by the insertion or applicationfrom any sexual activity as directed.

Sterilization

Both the male and female sterilization have increased in popularity in recent years and now is the main form of contraception among couples who are married for over 10 years. The method of sterilization for both sexes have the surgery and are considered permanent forms of contraception, although some cases of turnaround, which had been achieved. Vasectomy - Male SterilizationProcedures - business is to separate a small incision in the pipes that travel through semen. For women, sterilization by cutting or blocking the fallopian tubes toward the uterus the egg or prevent the removal of both ovaries and uterus (hysterectomy) for sale can be achieved. These are not recommendations to achieve simply for sterilization.

Summarize

When you choose a method of contraception, you should take into account issues of security, reliability and suitability for certainCircumstances. In the case of couples, the needs of individual partners should be set so that a mutually acceptable decision reached. For each method, especially when there are new information regularly, you should be free with your doctor about the risks and benefits apply to take an informed decision. Whatever the decision at a particular time, they should not be regarded as immutable. You should also know how long it takes for fertility to be restored by an application ofspiral or the pill. In any case, contraception should be considered a mutual responsibility, and if you want to become pregnant, should be a conscious consideration before engaging in sexual relations.

E 'is particularly important for your routine cervical smear (Pap test), at this moment because it offers options for the evaluation of an abnormal result, whereasYou are pregnant, are limited.

Immunity against diseases

All women are tested during pregnancy to see if they are immune to rubella (German measles). You can also apply to chickenpox (varicella) immunity, if you're not sure if it will be tested as a child. State Party to this disease during pregnancy can harm the baby. If you are not already immune, you can be vaccinated before pregnancy to protect you and your child. You should wait a couple of months, after some vaccinationsBefore trying to understand.
Test for infection

You can also adversely affect the test for some infections, pregnancy or your child might consider. Testing for HIV and hepatitis B is recommended for all women wishing to become pregnant. Testing for other infections such as herpes and hepatitis C will depend on risk factors and symptoms.

Cystic Fibrosis Screening

Finally, it may also be offered carrier screening for cystic fibrosis (CF) inherited in a seriousCondition causes recurrent infections of the lungs and digestive problems in those affected. You can carry the gene for cystic fibrosis and have no symptoms. If your partner also carries the gene for cystic fibrosis, each of your children is a probability of 25 per cent who have cystic fibrosis. If you're Caucasian, you have a 1 in 29 risk of putting the gene for cystic fibrosis. Cystic fibrosis is less frequent in Asian Americans, African-Americans and Americans, Hispanics, and the test is less informative in theseGroups. The test is done with a cotton swab to collect cells inside the mouth to the test. Have not yet been tested, but you should discuss with your doctor.
Genetic Counseling

If someone in your family or your partner's family has a genetic disease like Huntington's disease, might be well advised to see a genetic counselor.

A guide, you can press on the risks of your child recommended by a genetic disease, and that the tests arcavailable. In some cases, couples can consider a new technique, as pre-diagnosis system, in which eggs woman in IVF and selected healthy embryos for implantation in the uterus fertilized. Genetic counseling is recommended for the following.

* Ashkenazi Jews, who are at higher risk of Tay-Sachs, Canavan disease, cystic fibrosis. and other diseases.

* African-Americans, the risk of sickle cell anemia.

* PairsMediterranean descent are at higher risk of blood disorder beta-thalassemia.

* Southeast Asia, for increased risk of blood diseases like thalassemia alpha.

Diet and Nutrition Program

How to check cancer without paying too much

Cancer screening tests are essentially attempts to detect cancer at an early stage in order to increase the chances of complete cure before it's too late. There are no rehearsals for cancer signs of cancer in the body, and other specialized cancer-specific tests for the detection of tumors detected. The exact type of test should take the cancer depends on cancer risk group you belong to.

Cancer Risk which group you belong to?

There are 3 types ofCancer risk groups:

Low risk (risk of 20% one-off)

The lifetime risk is the probability that you will always have a certain type of cancer in your life. When you visit a doctor for cancer screening, you will be in one of the groups mentioned above by sex, age, lifestyle, environment, race and family history of cancer classified. For example, a man in his fifties, works in a factory capable of supporting life in a very polluted city and smokes 10 cigarettes a day belongs to the high riskGroup. People from different risk groups, different screening schedules, and can start the screening tests earlier, or more frequent tests.

It is important that we see the guidelines for cancer screening in your country, in order to ensure that the doctor is planning the right combination of analysis of cancer. Some tests will not give you all the confirmation you should have the right to test is crucial to find signs of cancer, as soon as possible. GoingFurther tests you need is within you bring a lot of unnecessary spending time and money.

What are the different types of testing cancer?

The tests are passed, you should include some or all of the following:

Visual examination of all lesions on the body, mouth, eyes and genitals to test etc.Palpation feel for lumps or abnormal growths in the breast, prostate, neck and other parts of body.Endoscopy, X-rays, MRI -- --(MRI), computed tomography, positron emission tomography (PET) and ultrasound tests scans.Lab Terraine Biological Assessment (BTA), blood tests, Pap smears, screen anti-antibody malignin (AMAS), or analysis of cancer marker.

Be disciplined - regrets Do not Work

It 'important to follow your religion prevents cancer screening test plans to detect all cases of cancer in the body at a later date or terminal. Everyone knows that the chances ofTreatment of cancer is easier in an early stage of development, so please do not take any unnecessary risks arrogant and lazy to do your analysis of cancer. These cancer tests save a lot of money in the long run, and above all, they could save their lives.

Failure to diagnose cancer often Malpractice

One of the most common types of cases seen in medical malpractice is the failure to diagnose cancer. Cancer is a group of over 100 different diseases and occurs when the cells are abnormal and divide, and the formation of cells without control. If cells divide when new cells are not needed, yet formed a mass of excess tissue, which is a tumor. Tumors can be), benign (non-cancer) or malignant (cancer. Cancer cells can invade nearby tissues or travel --through the bloodstream to form additional tumors elsewhere. The spread of cancer is called metastasis.

Some cancers are danger signals, such as unusual bleeding or discharge, change in bowel / bladder habits, a thickening or lump in one part of the body, indigestion / difficulty swallowing or an annoying cough / hoarseness. A biopsy is the only sure way to find out if there is cancer. During a biopsy, the doctor removes a piece of tissue and examination under aMicroscope to see if cancer cells are present. The cancer can be treated with surgery, hormone therapy, radiotherapy or chemotherapy.

There are several screening tests for early diagnosis of some forms of cancer used. Annual Pap tests and mammograms are tools that doctors use to detect cervical cancer and breast cancer. Sigmoidoscopy and colonoscopy are used to detect colon and rectum al.

Tumors can be missed if the screening tests are not adequatelymaintained or simply not be ordered. Some of the evidence, particularly mammography, might be misunderstood and interpreted by a radiologist, resulting in the spread of cancer. Biopsies can also be misunderstood, or biopsies, which can not properly sample of affected tissue in a diagnostic failed.

Since the ability to diagnose the cancer continues to improve, the failure of a physician for the diagnosis of cancer is becoming increasingly difficult to understand and accept. A patient has the chance of survivaldirectly, as the cancer is diagnosed early, will be connected, the failure of cancer at an early stage of diagnosis, the patient may request that the issue of treatment of cancer aggressive and painful than would otherwise be necessary. Certainly, if a patient has worsened the prognosis of cancer is not diagnosed at an early stage.

The following is a list of the most common cancers that doctors often diagnose:

· Cervical Cancer

· Cancer

· BreastCancer

· Prostate Cancer

· Esophageal cancer

Early treatment of these cancers are much less painful than following the procedures required as a result failed to diagnose PE. Often, chemotherapy and radiotherapy can be avoided if the cancer is detected early enough. If a doctor is not a cancer, pain and suffering and financial burden on patients for the diagnosis increases, this will be the responsibility of the doctor as he / she wasthose who missed the early diagnosis.

Understanding Yeast Infections

Although the idea of developing a yeast infection can be "dirty" Yeast is actually a natural part of our body and plays an important role in reducing and eliminating the excess glucose from our systems. Problems arise only when the yeast grows out of control because it creates by-products from glucose consumed irritate sensitive skin and mucous membranes. Fungal infections can cause nasty rashes in the mouth and genitalia, and also on the hands, feet and under the breastFolds and fatty acids in the skin.

Our bodies are a natural way to control the growth of yeast in the form of "good" bacteria, but poor diet and unhealthy lifestyle can cause an imbalance in the production of these bacteria, which means that the yeast is able to grow and spread out of control, causing infection. Both men and women can develop yeast infections, but women are more susceptible to the condition as the life of yeast in warm, moist conditions in the vaginal area. Vaginal infections maybe embarrassing, but you must consult a doctor to rule out any conditions. Chlamydia, gonorrhea, and can simulate a variety of other serious diseases, symptoms of yeast infections and a Pap test may be performed by your doctor to rule out these conditions and soothes the soul. If you suffer from persistent or recurrent fungal infection then the doctor may also recommend that a culture will be moreSurvey.

Yeast can sometimes become resistant to antifungal treatment, so prevention is better than cure. Be sure to keep the skin and genitals clean and dry and wear assembly, natural fiber clothing, you can breathe the skin. Synthetic clothing irritate the skin and promote perspiration, hot, humid environments in which it lives inside the yeast be sure to wash and dry thoroughly to create clothes before wearing, and if you go swimming very sureSwitching from your pack when you are done, and shower and change clothes dry.

Fungal infections can happen to anyone, regardless of age, gender or lifestyle, so you should never feel as though the development of an infection is not your fault. Focusing on improving areas of your diet and lifestyle, so it is less likely to go back and do not be afraid to ask for help and advice if the symptoms are persistent and difficult to deal with the evidence.

HPV, the silent killer of women

Human Papilloma Virus or HPV, as is known, is much more widespread than many think. It is estimated that about 80% or more of the female population of some form of HPV by the time they reach old age is one of 50.

However, the real question is whether these women know they have and this is increasingly important that lethal strains of these women is possible, it is prone to lead to cancer if left to the virusuntreated.

There are over 100 types of HPV known and of these 30 can be sexually transmitted. Today the United States by the CDC to produce ads that contain the word that women should be tested for HPV to reduce the risk of contracting cervical cancer, HPV is spread if left untreated.

However, we must also remember that most forms of HPV, in fact harmless and then go on their own without treatment was not necessary. But a womanTest is positive, and again for HPV, then this is where to start problems and worries. Unfortunately, most of the time, the form of genital HPV infection goes unnoticed because it is primarily a symptom less virus, which causes no alarm bells in the person who gave them in order, and unfortunately does not get you a ring doctor.

However, sometimes a woman may find that small bumps in her genital area and may also be a sign of the virus. NormallyBumps HPV are like small, fleshy, pink wart like bumps. The only way to others if the quest for HPV has a wife who is a Pap test. Making sure that a woman has a Pap smear test regularly, this will help prevent cervical cancers caused by HPV, also. An abnormal Pap test will show that a woman has HPV and can be treated and reduce the risk of developing cancer of the cervix.

Now we have made further progress in the treatmentHPV, one of which is a vaccine, immunization, they say, is helping to stop some types of viruses. It 'been a great discovery for the medical world, especially since it is estimated that about half of diagnosed cases of cervical cancer has been to have a certain strain or strains of HPV (Human Papilloma Virus) are linked.

Although vaccination is still considered an experimental stage, and many committees are still moral and ethical debatewhether this vaccine should be administered to young girls when they are available for general use of the public are not yet complete.

But the fact remains that the deadly strain of HPV causes about fifty percent of all cervical cancers, which were found over the years, and there is a strong argument that this vaccine to all who require it must be provided. But in any case is always an emotional topic for discussion and debate from all sides.But unfortunately, the vaccine is not foolproof, and women should continue at regular intervals to all forms of harmful strains of HPV, as the vaccine does not protect against every strain of the virus in fact, that may be an abnormal cell growth in the matter will be tested a woman and thus lead to cancer.

E 'was estimated that approximately 15,000 women annually diagnosed with cervical cancer and more than 4,000 die each year from the disease. But it is hoped that with the newNow showing on television in the United States and the women will show more aware of the importance of regular Pap tests, and the United States should at least be the way all women are aware of the country, this disease is silent and deadly for the future.

How to detect ovarian cysts - Signs and symptoms

We must admit that many women may ignore symptoms most of the time, until it is too late. We feel a bit 'of pain and it seems to go on their own. Often we expect a serious sign, before digging into it to seek professional help. To give you an idea about ovarian cyst, is defined briefly. This is simply an accumulation of fluid in the ovary. Any ovarian follicle that is larger than 2 centimeters is a cyst can be considered. As you read along, is outsideabout the signs and symptoms of an ovarian cyst.

Let me stress that a symptom is not only an indication that you already have a cyst in the ovaries, but if you have two or more symptoms, then it's time to consult a doctor. Some women find that they are only a cyst during their annual Pap test.

The following is a list of common symptoms:

(or the pain or discomfort can be boring or difficult) in the lower abdomen, pelvis, vagina or thighs. Itcan be constant or sporadic, this is the most common symptom.
or heaviness, fullness, bloating or abdominal swelling
Or painful menstrual bleeding
or irregular bleeding or spotting
breast tenderness or
Nausea and vomiting
or painful intercourse
or occasional nodules from time to time, I feel like bruises under the skin
or infertility
or lumps on the lower abdomen

If problems with two or more signs, it is better in a different schoolDoctor for diagnosis to prevent and fight infections and further complications. The test is usually done by blood sample, and always to conduct a gynecological examination.

The signs and symptoms of ovarian cysts should never be taken for granted, because for one, are uncomfortable with our daily activities and, secondly, if untreated can lead to mix a little 'cysts to cancer. It is always a must to seek professional help to get rid of it.

Recommended routine health tests

We learned that the body needs routine maintenance "as a machine - a machine, for example. However, medical experts have explained the virtues of routine medical tests. The disadvantage of the tests currently under way that a large number of" false-positive culture "on. Not only an abnormal result try to create a lot of anxiety and stress, but also leads to a merry-go-round further investigations and consultations to determine the significance of the investigation. Consider, for example, the PSA --(Prostate Specific Antigen) test that measures the level of recognizing a specific protein in the blood, prostate cancer and other abnormalities.

A high PSA level is not diagnostic of prostate cancer. We can not impose an unnecessary number of patients who are otherwise normal but have elevated PSA levels. Then, to ensure that they are suffering from prostate cancer, will undergo a biopsy of the prostate, and sometimes even surgery to completely remove the prostate. TheExperts also are discussing whether the current technology is a slow growing tumor by a fast (about 1 in 4 can be said to grow slowly and cause no problem), and as a man, life can never be affected by cancer but to treat the side effects.

The Task Force recommends that cut a selective approach and customized to individual needs. If you are concerned about your health, consult a doctor a medical history should be taken to identify something that canCarry a high risk for a particular illness or disability - all occupational and behavioral factors influencing health, eating habits, tobacco use, alcohol and other drugs and sexual activity. With this knowledge, doctors can zero on preventive strategies targeted for you, but without evidence, that are of little use to you.

The only procedure that recommends the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, are responsible for blood pressure, cholesterol, colon cancer, breast cancer andCervical cancer. The Task Foce criticized doctors for wasting their precious time in projections of questionable value, instead of counseling people on the harmful effects of smoking, lack of exercise and other risks due to lifestyle wrong.

Taking into account the proposals of the Task Force recommended tests are:

1. Regular check-up blood pressure, a risk factor for coronary heart disease, stroke, kidney disease and heart attacks, for allAdults.

2. Regularly test for the measurement of total cholesterol in blood, another risk factor for heart disease for men aged between 35 and 65 years and women aged 45 to 65

3. Mammography to detect early signs of breast cancer in women between 50 and 69, every one or two years.

4. Pap tests for cervical cancer screening for women sexually active, once every three years.

5. Vision tests for children before entering school, and for the elderly.

6.Hearing tests for the elderly

7. Intraocular pressure test for glaucoma screening for people over 60, steroid users, with a family history of glaucoma, diabetes and hypertension and those with eye injuries recently. An ophthalmologist:

* Age 35 and 40

* Age between 40 and 60 years, take the test every two to four years

* After 60 years, every one or two years

8. Measurement of bone density in postmenopausal women to screen for osteoporosis. For the elderly with boneSoftness, often suffer fractures to identify evidence of a possible 25 OH vitamin D deficiency in vitamin D. Vitamin D test can be used to diagnose problems or to monitor parathyroid function, such as parathyroid hormone for vitamin D activation needed.

9. Regular cleaning and checking their teeth every six months. Tobacco and alcohol consumption, diabetes, pregnancy, periodontal and gum disease, poor oral hygiene and certain diseases are some ofmany factors that your dentist takes into consideration when deciding how often you need to check your teeth and cleaning.

10. If you have a family history of diabetes, it is possible to undergo blood tests once a year, blood sugar and insulin levels checked. Even testing for hemoglobin A1c or glycated hemoglobin. It is bound by the measurement of glucose to hemoglobin, the test gives a picture of the average level of glucose in the blood during the last two or three months. Strict control of blood glucosefrom aggressive treatment and control reduces the incidence of complications, which may make diabetes harmful, such as the debilitating disease.

Those without symptoms before they have needed a chest radiograph, ECG, blood tests or complete, because no doctor can provide all the information clinically useful. If you are a smoker, have high blood pressure, elevated serum cholesterol or diabetes, or are obese, or before a family history of coronary disease55 years of age, you can get for ECG.
