Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month: What you need to know
The Record via NorthJersey.com
Share
   
September is National Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month. Ovarian cancer is the fifth-leading cause of cancer death among U.S. women. While prevention and early detection can help save lives,
according to the American Cancer Society, only 20 percent of ovarian cancers are found at an early stage. "Ovarian cancer has unfortunately been known as a silent killer because its symptoms are often not recognized or misdiagnosed as something else," said Ami Vaidya, M.D., gynecologic surgical oncologist at John Theurer Cancer Center at Hackensack University Medical Center. "If we can educate women on how to identify risks and watch for early signs of ovarian cancer, we can potentially save
thousands of lives."

 "Have you ever seen 'Terms of Endearment'?" That's how 27-year-old Adam breaks the news of his diagnosis to his on-screen worrywart mom Diane over dinner in the new film "50/50." The line takes the cake for how-not-to-tell-your-mother-you-have-cancer. "I'm moving in," Diane replies. "No, Mom, no."
"I'm your mother, Adam." "Exactly."

USA Today
Share
A prolonged sore throat once was considered a cancer worry mainly for smokers and drinkers. Today there's another risk: A sexually transmitted virus is fueling a rise in oral cancer. The HPV virus is best known for causing cervical cancer. But it can cause cancer in the upper throat, too, and a new study says HPV-positive tumors now account for a majority of these cases of what is called oropharyngeal cancer.

How old is too old to have
kids?
San Francisco Chronicle
Share
A naked pregnant woman appears on the cover of this month's New York Magazine. She proudly shows off
motherhood in the famous Demi Moore pose, one hand curved over her breasts, the other cradling her swollen belly. But this mom-to-be doesn't have flawless skin or dark brown hair as the Hollywood actress did when she bared all on the cover of Vanity Fair in 1991. This woman's skin is wrinkly and her hair silvery gray. She's 63 years old, and her pregnant belly is enormous.

Is an obsession with natural birth putting mothers and babies in
danger?
Mail Online
Share
There is no doubt that for most women in this country, childbirth remains a safe and happy experience. But it is also true that for too many, it is a highly
risky and frankly horrific experience. Stories abound of mothers-to-be left alone in labor, sometimes refused pain relief or surgical intervention, putting their babies' health or even lives in danger.

The Birmingham News

Survey: Genital pain not uncommon among women
Reuters Health
Share
As many as one in 12 women say they have a type of genital pain known as vulvodynia, yet few have been diagnosed with it, a new survey suggests. Vulvodynia refers to pain in the external genital area that can either be chronic or arise from contact, including sex, tampon insertion or exercise that puts pressure on the area, like bike riding. The problem was once thought to be rare, but researchers now estimate that it affects up to
14 million U.S. women at some point in their lives.
