Breaking Down of A Tampon
In her book Everything You Must Know About Tampons (1981), Nancy Friedman has written the following excerpt - “There is evidence of tampon use throughout history in a multitude of cultures. The oldest printed medical document, Papyrus Ebers, refers to the use of soft papyrus tampons by Egyptian women in the 15th century BCE. Roman women used wool tampons. Women in ancient Japan fashioned tampons out of paper, held them in place with a bandage, and changed them 10 to 12 times a day. Traditional Hawaiian women used the furry part of a native fern called hapu'u; and grasses, mosses and other plants are still used by women in parts of Asia.”

The Horrors of PMDD
When I first learned about PMDD, which stands for premenstrual dysphoric disorder, it was introduced to me in a pharmaceutical commercial. I honestly thought that they either created this as a made up disorder or a heightened version of PMS to sell their drugs. Als, when I first learned what PMS was, it was by a girlfriend at camp who told me it gives you cramps and lowers your mood right before you get your menstrual cycle. I honestly was not worried and I thought it would never affect me like it was some rare thing. What I didn’t know was that I would be rudely awakened by the strongest affects of PMDD symptoms.

Big Boobs Aren’t All That Great
Sure, boobs are great. But did you ever think about all the problems that they cause? Funbags, breasts, bewbs, boobs, bangers, tits, titties, jabs… the list of names for these meat sacks are endless. They’re fun and functional at the same time. But have you ever thought about the serious side of having breasts?

Nutrients for Your Period
The menstrual cycle is an incredible process – some humans can make other humans, how wild! We can quite easily understand how much work and effort (and community resources, but that’s a conversation for another time) is needed to build a human body from a clump of cells, but I would almost bank on many people not knowing how much energy and nutrients are required for a simple period!

Breast October
So many of us have been affected by Breast Cancer, either ourselves or with someone we love. For me personally, it was my mum who had Breast cancer. She found a lump in one of her breasts, booked the appointment and I went with her. A biopsy was taken and we went for the results in January. “I’m very sorry Mrs B…. but I’m afraid it is Breast cancer”, said the doctor. Mum couldn’t believe it! “I’ve just buried my husband, he died of cancer”, mum told the doctor. Both of us had nursed dad for three years before the cancer spread to his lungs and brain and eventually dad died.

Best Way to Give Multivitamins For Women
If you are like most people, fruits and vegetables probably do not find their way into your diet nearly as frequently as they should. In all honesty, fruits just seem like they are a little expensive considering the fact that they really do not fill you up, and vegetables just taste so bland unless you dump salt, garlic and butter on them, which sort of counteracts their benefits.

Things To Know About Endometriosis And Its Treatment
Endometriosis is a distressing condition, and the unfortunate women who suffer from this condition know it best. Endometriosis occurs when the lining of the uterus, called endometrium, starts growing outside its normal place. The endometrium does continue its normal processes, which include its thickening and then shedding along with the bleeding that occurs during the shedding process. However, as the whole processes happen in a place that is not its normal one this results in the endometrium being trapped in this abnormal place. That is why this process is associated with inflammation and pain. Women who are suffering from this painful condition can plan a visitto Santosh Hospitals to get the problem treated because it is a well-known fact that this place is probably the best gynaecology hospital in Ghaziabad.
