Anemia is a health condition characterized by inadequate healthy red blood cells. The body needs RBCs to transport oxygen to different body tissues. Anemia tends to leave the patient feeling weak and tired. There are several different kinds of anemia, and each of them has its own causes. The disease can be both short-term or long-term and mild or severe. Here, in this article, we will address some of the early warning signs of anemia.  1. Fatigue One of the first early warning signs of anemia is fatigue. Fatigue or tiredness occurs when the body does not have adequate RBCs, as it fails to transport necessary oxygen to the different body parts. People may feel fatigued because of several different reasons, such as stress, illnesses, and sickness. However, those with anemia, fatigue may feel significantly different than what they may feel as an outcome of insufficient rest. Often people with anemia report exhaustion 24/7. Being tired all the time can dramatically affect one’s quality of life. Thus, timely remedial action is recommended.   2. Paleness Anemia might also lead to pale coloring or pale skin on the inside of the lower eyelids. This is a clear indication of iron deficiency. Our body has hemoglobin in RBCs, which is responsible for the red hue of the blood.

Women experience menopause in their 40s or 50s. It commences a year after the last menstrual period, which unfortunately signifies the end of a woman’s ability to conceive. This leads to reduced production of hormones, such as progesterone and estrogen. To add to this, women in the menopausal age are at a greater risk of developing breast cancer.  Read on to know about the symptoms of breast cancer in menopausal women. 1. Hot flashes It is one of the key menopausal symptoms of breast cancer and might even be experienced when undergoing breast cancer treatment. Hot flashes may be caused by treatment, such as hormone endocrine therapy, chemotherapy, or ovarian suspension. Generally speaking, a hot flash may range from a mild warming sensation on the face and across the body. A few women might even experience a drenching sweat, which may affect the whole of their body. Hot flashes frequency may differ for different women and go from a few every hour to a couple in a day. 2. Night sweats At times, some women experience hot flashes at night, which may hamper their sleep quality and wake them up from their slumber in a damp bed. In some cases, the condition is so bad that they may have to change the linen immediately.

Body odor can be understood as an unpleasant smell that our body produces when the bacteria that thrive on the skin break down sweat   and release acids. Some people argue that the odor is the bacteria growing on our bodies, but that is not true. Body odor is primarily an outcome of the breakdown of bacteria into certain acids and proteins. It is known as ozochrotia, osmidrosis, or B.O., bromhidrosis. Let’s look at the reasons for body odor 1. Bacteria One of the first  reasons for body odor  is bacteria. It thrives in moist environments, such as armpits. So, while sweating, the bacteria break down some proteins found in the sweat into acid. Hence, it is not the bacteria that stinks but rather the bacteria’s by-product which breaks down the sweat, producing body odor.   2. Eccrine glands These glands are present across the skin. They are coiled glands and are present in the dermis or the skin’s lower layer. The eccrine glands squeeze the sweat directly onto the skin’s surface via a duct. This sweat has high salt content, making it more challenging for the bacteria to break down. So, body odor from eccrine glands is less likely.  3.

Ovarian cancer is a kind of cancer that starts in the ovaries. The female reproductive system has two ovaries, one on each side of the uterus. These produce ova and other female reproductive hormones, like progesterone and estrogen. Usually, ovarian cancer goes undetected until it has spread within the abdomen and pelvis. In the later stages, cancer is often challenging to treat.  In this article, we will discuss the detection and treatment of ovarian cancer. Detection and diagnosis Treating ovarian cancer is easier when the diagnosis is made in the early stages. However, in reality, an ovarian cancer diagnosis is not easy. The ovaries are located deep into the abdominal cavity. So, feeling a tumor is quite unlikely. Unfortunately, there is also no routine diagnostic screening available to cure ovarian cancer. Thus, it is vital to report any unusual or persistent symptoms to your doctor. Pelvic exam If the doctor suspects cancer during a physical examination, they will perform a pelvic exam. It can help discover some irregularities. However, if the tumor is small, it may be difficult to detect it. Nevertheless, when the tumor grows, it starts pressing against the rectum and bladder. This is when it is easier to detect irregularities during the rectovaginal pelvic examination.  In addition to the pelvic exam, the doctor might also recommend a few other tests.

Erectile dysfunction (ED) is the inability to maintain an erection long enough during sex. That said, it is not necessarily a cause of concern. However, if the problem is ongoing, it can be stress-inducing and might even hamper self-confidence or lead to relationship trouble. How to cure ED? Let us address some treatment options for ED. 1. Oral medications ED medications can be consumed orally, inserted into the penile gland, or injected directly into the organ. Usually, when one seeks treatment for ED, the first thing a doctor prescribes is pills, such as vardenafil (Staxyn, Levitra), sildenafil (Viagra), tadalafil (Cialis), and avanafil (Stendra). These medications should be consumed anytime between 15 minutes and 36 hours before sex. The duration depends on the kind of medicine consumed. However, as a general rule of thumb, it is essential not to consume these tablets more than once a day. Most medications, except Staxyn, are swallowed. Staxyn will dissolve in the mouth. In eighty percent of cases, these pills work fine. 2. Injectable medicines and suppositories In some cases, the doctor may recommend injecting a medicine, such as alprostadil, into the penile gland. Though oral medications work well to better sexual stimulation, some people still prefer injections.
