Read Here! Learn All You Need to Know About Cervical Cancer and How to Avoid It!


Cervical cancer is a common affliction that affects many women. 

According to cancer.net, last 2016 an estimated 12,990 women in the United States would be diagnosed with cervical cancer. This form of cancer had an estimated fatality count of up to 4,120.

Fortunately, unlike most other types of cancer, cervical cancer can easily be avoided. 

In a report by ABS-CBN news,  gynecologist and oncologist Dr. Joy Garcia says that women between the ages of 15 to 44 have a risk of cervical cancer.

Dr. Garcia adds that sex has a factor in cervical cancer development. 

"Ang pinakarason kung bakit nagkaka-cervical cancer ay dahil sa HPV (human papillomavirus). Nakukuha siya dahil sa pakikipagtalik," Dr. Garcia says. 

A sure way to avoid cervical cancer is through vaccination against HPV. 

According to Dr. Garcia, "As early as 9 years old, before sexual exposure, binibigay na 'yung vaccine na 'yun para mataas na 'yung protection ng babaeng 'yun."  

Even if a woman has been exposed to sexual acts, she still has a better chance of avoiding the illness if she gets vaccinated.

"Women na nagkaroon na ng sexual exposure, maganda pa rin ang level of protection kung ngayon pa lang siya magpapa-vaccinate," Dr. Garcia said.

"Kahit anong age. Meron kasing three brands in the market, pero ang pinakacommon, walang age limit," she added.

Cervical cancer can easily be prevented if detected early on. One way to find out if a woman is at risk is by going through a yearly pap smear. Annual trips to the doctor for a pap-smear is the surest way to find cervical cancer before it starts.


According to Dr. Garcia, women who have had intimate contact should consider going to three separate pap smears after the first time they’ve had these encounters.

"Kung nagkaroon na ng sexual contact 'yung babae na 'yun, 3 years after that, dapat nagsa-start na siyang magpa-pap smear every year until she is 65 to 70 years," Dr. Garcia says. 

Dr. Garcia added that sometimes the female body’s immune system is strong enough to expel these cancer cells by itself.

"Yung immune system niya, kakalabanin 'yung virus, ita-try na paalisin sa katawan niya. 'Pag hindi successful, in 10 to 15 years, pwedeng magka-cervical cancer 'yung babaeng 'yun." 

Those women discovered with pre-cervical cancer cells may undergo minor surgery or cryotherapy to treat these potentially dangerous cells.

The doctor says that women receiving such treatment can still get pregnant because their cervix is undergoing a healing process.

Patient with Ovarian Cyst Claims to Be Cyst-Free After Drinking This! Must Read!


Guyabano tea articles have been making rounds on the online community since 2014. With claims including being able to fight arthritis, cancer, diabetes and other inflammatory diseases, the article on Facebook had over millions of shares.

Although the product has not approved therapeutic claims, many netizens took the risk and tried the product. According to them, the tea showed marvelous results.

According to Danified, three netizens attested to the health benefits Guyabano tea has served them. Netizens Lina Fong, Corazon Bunda Munarriz and Whelma Jovero Competente shared their stories with the aim of convincing others of the magical wonders of the guyabano tea. 

"I was diagnosed last year with left ovarian cyst.. then every 3months my gyne advising me to have transV ultrasound..when I was still in the Philippines last year in God's grace GUYABANO tea really helps a lot..6 months of continuous drinking of guyabano leaves I am CYST FREE..last month I got abdominal pain I thought my Ovarian Cyst came back so i undergo ultrasound again here in US..surprisingly my Doctor called no cyst in my ovary and uterus..smile emoticon
my husband planted last year two trees of guyabano in our backyard here in Hawaii..up to now during my period I am taking guyabano tea for 7days..it really helps a lot to me," wrote Lina.

Whelma, on the other hand, has this to say about the fruit tea: "Everything that tells about Guyanano it all true with the power of Prayer to Almighty God in Heaven .. before my husband starts his chemo I let him hydrate with guyabano tea.. and after 6 cycles of chemo progressingly disappearing and for 2 1/2 yrs he is free cancer .. still drinks guyabano tea before break x 5 days only."

"Last year my sister died of thyroid cancer. Me and my 2 other sisters were diagnose with thyroid problem. Two of my remaining sisters went into surgery one of which has cancer stage 2. I was the next scheduled for operation. I was diagnosed with nodes on both sides of my thyroid. I subscribed alternative medicines and started using guyabano tea and prayed so hard that i may not go what my sister went thru. I did it for 1month and make is as my everyday water. 6months of doing it, i went dfor a checkup and my doctor was surprised to find out that the nodes on the left side was gone and the other side became smaller. He told me to continue whatever i did that.make it disappear. This month i am scheduled for followup check up and i pray that everything will be normal. GOD IS MY HEALER AND HE USED HIS CREATIONS HIS MEDICINE. THANK YOU LORD!!!!" shared Corazon.

So how do you start?


First, prepare 40 pieces of mature Guyabano leaves and 1 liter of clean water. Remember to take note that the leaves should not be too old. Also, for better results, use air dried leaves rather than fresh ones. Sun dried should not be an option they may already be too stale. 

Directions:

1. Boil the water in a sauce pan
2. Add the leaves after the water boils. Upon adding the leaves, lower down the heat.
3. Let it simmer for 20 minutes until the color turns golden brown appearing like the usual tea.
4. Let it cool and the tea is good to go.

It may be refrigerated according to your preferences. However, according to Danified, the tea can only last about 7-8 hours. Also, it should be taken not more than 30 days. Drink the tea before meals for better absorption of the stomach, thrice a day. Once 30 days are over, it is advised to get examined by a physician. If symptoms still persist, reduce the dose to one glass of tea a day for five days every week and 30 minutes before meals as the maintenance dose. 

Additionally, it is advised that the tea is not mixed with other healing substances. Following the procedure is the best advice. Avoid overdosing.

FOR WOMEN: Pay Attention To These Itchy Bumps Inside Your Private Area!


As some women fight for equality today as the world celebrates International Women's Day, it is very important that they are also aware of certain health conditions that don't get enough attention. 

This particular condition called Vestibular Papillomatosis has been causing a lot of women some discomfort, yet fails to get the proper aid. 

This condition affects women's private parts and usually appears as small frond-like glands. These small bumps are usually found on vestibular labia minora deep inside the woman's privates and are pink or red in color.

It is not an STD but these bumps are described as itchy, burning, stinging, and painful. 

Experts claim that this condition is quite normal for women who are undergoing the stage between menarche and menopause. 

No direct causes for this condition have been discovered aside from the "interrelated genetic and enviromental factors influencing the reproductive system development". 


If it causes no discomfort, there is no need for a doctor's consultation. But if it does, a doctor might recommend certain acids that will be used to burn the papules. The procedure can be a bit uncomfortable and should only be done by a licensed and trained professional.

For home medication, doctors are also expected to prescribe topical creams such as phodophyllin or podofilox. It is always advised to consult the doctor before buying and applying anything.

Woman Notices Strange Lump In Abdomen After Making Love, What Her Doctor Finds In Her Will Shock You!


Normally when you're amidst the throws of passion you won't notice things certain things about your body, things moving and shifting, it's only natural when "doing the deed".  But certain things may distress you when they move in your abdomen when they shouldn't and form a noticeable lump after the fact.

This very thing happened to Ellie Taylor-Davis.  She was having a good time with her boyfriend when she noticed a painful lump in her abdomen which worried her.  She then sought medical advice online, but her symptoms led her to believe that she was merely constipated, boy was she wrong.

Around a month later, Ellie was visiting her OBGYN for a routine procedure to have a contraceptive coil fitted, but the doctor found a large mass inside her.  After testing negative on a pregnancy test, Ellie received an emergency ultrasound which revealed a 16 cm malignant tumor on her ovary which had been crushing her internal organs.

Luckily, surgeons were able to remove the mass and since it was discovered early enough the cancer had not spread to other parts of her body through her lymph nodes.

Woman Notices Strange Lump In Abdomen After Making Love, What Her Doctor Finds In Her Will Shock You!

Ellie, a freelance writer out of North London had this to say on the daily mail,

Woman Notices Strange Lump In Abdomen After Making Love, What Her Doctor Finds In Her Will Shock You!


"If I hadn't gone to have the coil fitted, the cancer could have spread much further and I'd be none the wiser.".

Which is why routine checkups including reproductive health, are essential to early detection.  Ellie, had a carcinoid tumor, a rare, slow growing tumor that develops in the neuroendocrine system, where hormones are produced. These kinds of tumors are often found too late, when they have already reached the lymphatic system and metastasized.  This is because carcinoid tumors are often asymptomatic, luckily for Ellie she was paying attention to her body and regularly went to her doctor.
Chief Executive of Ovarian Cancer Action Katherine Taylor believes women of all ages should be informed about the symptoms.
"The symptoms include persistent bloating, going to the toilet more often, persistent stomach pains and feeling full more quickly," she said.

Remember, an ounce of prevention is better than a pound of the cure; if you feel something strange within your body, have it checked out by a doctor.

FOR WOMEN: Coffee Might Be Shrinking Your Breasts, Studies Say.


In October of 2008, The Telegraph (a popular source for international news) came out with an article claiming that drinking coffee could affect breast size. 

They said that those who drink at least 3 cups of coffee a day may notice a little shrinking in their breasts. 

According to the article, researchers invited 300 women to participate in a study linking a woman's caffeine intake to her breast size. 

The results were reportedly published in a British cancer journal. Based on the study, researchers discovered that taking in at least 3 cups of coffee a day could lead to a smaller breast size. 

They said it was all thanks to this gene mutation that about half of the women tested carried. This gene is apparently responsible for the supposed link between caffeine and breast size. 

According to Helena Jernstrom of Sweden's Lund University, "Drinking coffee can have a major effect on breast size."

However, she also added the following:

"Coffee-drinking women do not have to worry their breasts will shrink to nothing overnight."

"They will get smaller, but the breasts aren't just going to disappear."

"However, anyone who thinks they can tell which women are coffee drinkers just from their bra measurements will be disappointed"

"The problem is that there are two measures for a bra, the cup size and the girth, so you wouldn't be able to tell."


The article from The Telegraph also claimed the following, however:

"Drinking caffeine regularly appeared to reduce the risk of breast cancer among the volunteers, who had been specifically selected from families at high risk of contracting the disease."

So based on the sources, coffee intake may have an effect on breast size but it apparently has its own set of positive effects too.
