Menstrual Cups: A Better Alternative To Pads and Tampons
Menstrual cups are a reusable feminine hygiene product. It’s small and flexible and is to be slid into the vagina. Instead of absorbing blood, like a pad or tampon, it collects the blood.

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.

Off the Hook. Top Story - September 2021.
My eyes focused on the illustration of the fallopian tubes as Dr. Marquez fingered me with two digits and a pencil light. Poking and prodding at my cervix, I spread my thighs like I was back at cheerleading practice warming up for a jump sequence. I wondered what she might find down there…a rash? A tear? Old remains of a cheap tampon? In all honesty, I wouldn’t be surprised. In fact, I’d be thrilled to know it was my own stinginess which rendered sex impossible, and not the Judas-level betrayal of my vagina. I needed an answer, some form of explanation as to why my butterfly was dryer than the charcoal-colored dust framing my ceiling fan. Not only for me, but for my boyfriend playing Pokémon in the waiting room.

With Class & Grace
Hey beautiful how are you doing? Have you eaten? Have you drank your 8 liters today? If not take a little sip right now. I’ll wait. I’m checking in on you, just in case no one has. Tired mamma? Yes i know it takes a village to raise a thriving little one. It’s hard to make the healthiest choices, because Panera’s bread bowls call your name like a drunk best friend after a break-up. Or when you go to Wendy’s for a salad but the picture of the bacon pretzel bun double cheese burger tells you it’ll hug you from the inside and then you end up regretting it middle of the night when the call of nature hits or early in the morning and your already late.

Accidental Gardening for The Soul
That day in Bunnings I let my feet take me to the gardening section. Surreptitiously I watch real-life gardeners go about their business; knowledgeable creatures hefting bags of potting mix onto laden trolleys, discussing watering systems with each other and casting experienced eyes over compost bins. They use exotic terms like ‘wetting agents’ and ‘slow-release.’ Someone says the words plant food, and I picture giant, thorny roses devouring people whole, like perfumed anacondas.

Raising Above All Odds
The memories of the warm evening on October 23 are still vivid in my mind. We were running late for a friend’s party. My half-sister and my best friend wanted us to bail.
