They noted that studies have shown music’s effect on depression and menopausal symptoms separately, though “it is notewort ..read more

I found out I had fibroids,so I had a D&C. That helped for a while but last year I started bleeding in between my periods again and all of a sudden I experienced a rush of blood and huge blood clots that would come and go. I had a ultrasound done and found out I had fibroids again. My gynecologist tried to do another D&C but had to stop the surgery when the camera bounced off the fibroid and nick ..read more

BRCA Information

There are two BRCA (Breast Cancer) genes–BRCA 1 and BRCA 2. Both are tumor suppressor genes which produce a protein that helps prevent cells from multiplying and dividing too rapidly. They are also involved with repairing damaged DNA in cells. When a mutation in these genes occur, they can work improperly. As a result, there is an increased risk of cancer. Each person has two copies of these genes, one from each parent. If there is a mutation in one or both of these genes, it can increase your risk of breast, ovarian, and other specific cancers. According to the National Cancer Institute (NCI ..read more

Simple food swaps could help women through the menopause and prevent weight gain, according to the world’s largest study of its kind. Ditching white bread, pasta and rice – or simply eating them with fat or protein – could help lessen the blood sugar spike women experience after eating carbohydrate-rich meals. Natural yoghurt, nuts, pulses, berries and leafy greens are also good choices for helping keep the gut microbiome healthy, the study suggests. Experts from the nutrition company ZOE together with scientists, including from King’s College London, looked at data for 1,002 pre, peri and pos ..read more

Should I Have a Salpingectomy (Fallopian Tube Removal) with My Hysterectomy?
Hysterectomy.org
by Hysterectomy
2y ago
A hysterectomy is a surgery to remove the uterus, but other procedures can be done at the same time. One such procedure is a salpingectomy (removal of the fallopian tubes). If you will have both your uterus and ovaries removed, then your surgeon is very likely to also remove your fallopian tubes. If, however, you will be keeping your ovaries, then a salpingectomy isn’t automatically done. There can be several reasons to have the fallopian tubes surgically removed, such as if they are diseased or blocked. In addition, studies have found that ovarian cancer may begin in the fallopian tubes. Thus ..read more

Laparoscopic Hysterectomy Age at Surgery 41 Location: Saskatoon/Saskatchewan/Canada In 2012 I had a 10cm ovarian cyst removed via laparoscopy. It was tumor type, non-cancerous. In 2014, at the start of my second trimester of pregnancy, the very large fibroid that was on my uterus started bleeding into my abdomen. I was hospitalized for 9 days and considered a high-risk pregnancy after that. The main problem with removing the fibroid was that the baby’s placenta had implanted directly opposite the fibroid on the uterine wall. I carried to term. In 2015, I had an emergency c-section to deliver m ..read more
