			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Where do you go when you need womens health specialists? Do you rely on womens health magazines, or do you just ask your friends whenever you have a question that you don&#8217;t know the answer to? Many women avoid either and prefer to use the internet instead as their sole source of information that deals with their health. There are a lot of great sites out there that you can search through to find more information on whatever health problem you may be experiencing. Even better, some sites allow you to search through symptoms, essentially helping you to diagnose yourself. You should still see a doctor, but it can put your mind at ease to know you&#8217;re probably only dealing with a cold, rather than the life threatening illness you thought you had.</p>
<p>Research has proved that working women have extra nutritional needs. Women who have full-time jobs and have a family are always under pressure of staying ahead of the game in a competitive work environment and trying to balance home and office and do well at both.Yarrow&#8217;s high azulen content (which gives it its powerful anti-inflammatory action) is even higher than German Chamomile! Azulen also gives Yarrow anti-infectious properties for treating infections. <br />Blue Yarrow&#8217;s powerful natural anti-inflammatory properties make it an effective pain reliever.</p>
<p>Modern women live a hectic lifestyle and sometimes too busy to even stay healthy. Busy people tend to be forgetful and important things like how to stay healthy seems to be overlooked. With this fact, the industry of health supplements take this opportunity to target busy women and remind them to think about health once and for all.Health supplements like multivitamins are some of the most popular. Women can take multivitamins not just to fight malnutrition but to keep a healthy lifestyle. If you value your health more than anything else, this important thing shouldn&#8217;t be compromised. Thus, even if it means spending some amount of money, you will still do it, as long as it promises to keep you fit and healthy.</p>
<p>This is a favorite way of mine for using aromatic oils. You may use your aromatic mist as a facial toner to soothe your fevered brow during labor or as an all over body freshener, or as an air freshener for your birthing room. The amount of oil you use depends on the purpose of your aromatic mist.However, when it comes to sleeping problems life seems to have thrown women a curve ball. According to a recent study by Duke University, the bad effects of sleeping difficulties seems to be more skewed towards the female of our species than it is to men.</p>
<p>The study found that women are more vulnerable to diabetes (less sensitivity to insulin), weight problems and inflammation. It also found that these women had more hostility and depression.If you are having problems getting a good rest, a natural remedy for sleep is just what you need. This does not suppress symptoms like medication but it supports overall health and function that eliminates restlessness and ensures that you sleep like a log.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Women&#8217;s reproductive health is something that they must be aware of for their entire lives. Taking good care of ones self from puberty on will affect whether a woman can have children, and if she will get through the rest of her life without any serious problems. Typically, a good diet, exercise, and yearly exams are all that women need to stay on top of their reproductive health but sometimes, especially when pregnant or going through menopause women need a little bit more help. It seems that women&#8217;s reproductive health becomes even more important after suffering from some menopause symptoms or even something as simple as a yeast infection. Perhaps the lack of thought about aging is why many women find that they need depression treatment. Some women have a hard time with waking up one day and realizing that they are &#8220;old&#8221; and are well past the reproductive age. While some women have a hard time aging, other women really bask in the glory of middle age, as it no doubt has its responsibilities, but other women find that some old responsibilities are gone.</p>
<p><strong>Reproductive Health Issues</strong></p>
<p>Menstrual Problems</p>
<p>* Dysmenorrhoea is related to extreme pain during and around the time of their periods. The pain can be debilitating, and in some circumstances it is accompanied by nausea, dizziness, exhaustion, fainting, head aches and even constipation or diarrhoea. Constant low back ache is a congestive dysmenorrhoea where as cramping constricting pains is spasmodic dysmenorrhoea.</p>
<p>* Menstrual cycles can vary from 23 days to 35 days. It is regular if your periods occur at regular intervals. Minor irregularities like a the period for a menstrual cycle varying from 25 days to 35 days the next cycle occurs are common. Large gaps and no periods, spotting as well as continuous bleeding for a few weeks when periods occur, warrant a visit to the doctor.</p>
<p><strong>Herbal Remedies</strong></p>
<p>If it&#8217;s an issue of menstrual cramps, the herb Water Elder (Viburnum opulus) commonly called &#8216;Cramp Bark&#8217; is known to ease premenstrual symptoms. Herbalists revealed that a tincture produced from the herb&#8217;s bark would serve as an effective alternative to the usual anti-inflammatory and antispasmodic medications administered to relieve menstrual cramps and other discomforts that come about with pregnancy. In fact, the herb is recognized for its remarkable support to female organs as it helps prevent miscarriages to this end. The practice of traditional Chinese medicine also encompasses female reproductive health with the introduction of Dong Quai (Angelica Sinensis) in alternative circles. Dong Quai is renowned in gynecological studies for its anti-inflammatory and sedative properties. Women can count on the herb&#8217;s medicinal constituents to relieve PMS conditions, menstrual irregularities, and even with menopause.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Oral contraceptives are one of those things that modern science has brought to help women bear the burden of pregnancy, helping women to better direct their fate by placing greater control of their reproduction in their hands. In some instances, a woman may wish to defer child bearing especially when childbearing years are so close to each other that they are likely to imperil the woman&#8217;s health in the long run. As such, the one thing that woman consult are birth control measures.<br /> <br />There are plenty of options relating to birth control, and oral contraceptives are just one of them. More popularly known as pills, oral contraceptives are used by more than half of women who use birth control methods. Moreover, if they are used correctly, some estimates of their efficiency have been variously estimated at around 90 percent. </p>
<p>The Common Forms of Oral Contraceptives</p>
<p>Oral contraceptives for women are available in the following forms:</p>
<p>1) Combined oral contraceptive pill. The combined oral contraceptive pill is more popularly known simply as &#8220;the pill.&#8221; It is a combination of estrogen and progestin, and it is taken orally to inhibit normal female fertility. This form of contraceptive is one of the oldest around, their use dating back to the 1960s. The pill is used more often by women in Western countries where 12 million women in the U.S. use it while the figure for Britain is 25 percent of the women population in their childbearing years. On the contrary, Eastern countries do not find the pill too attractive: it is virtually unknown in most Asian countries, and even in Japan, the most advanced of Asian nations, only 1 percent of the female population use it.     </p>
<p>2) Progestogen-only pills are also known as mini pills. Unlike in the combined oral contraceptive pill, only progestogens are taken while the estrogen is left out of the equation. One advantage of the progesterone pills and the combined oral contraceptive pill is that they seem to work well on individuals even with migraines and seem to have no negative side effects on most women. </p>
<p>3) The next common oral contraceptive is the Mifepristone. It is a synthetic compound used as abortifacient during the first two months of pregnancy and taken in small doses as emergency contraceptive. In its role as an emergency contraceptive, it can prevent ovulation and so eliminate pregnancy if it is taken before ovulation even after sexual intercourse. The drug was made and developed in France in the 1980s and marketed worldwide under different names.</p>
<p>4) Ormeloxifene. . It is a selective estrogen receptor modulator, which is taken one to two times per week. It is a non-hormonal and non-steroidal oral contraceptive. Though the product is touted to be very effective, the time by which it is taken has a huge impact on its effectivity. The pill should be taken twice in a week at the same time because a difference of a few hours is enough to reduce its efficiency.</p>
<p>Oral contraceptives are now made even more popular because of efforts to help women get more protection during pregnancy. However, the major consideration in choosing which oral contraceptive to use is the health of the woman. No reason is reason enough to imperil a woman&#8217;s health.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Bone health in women is a pressing issue because women&#8217;s bones are by nature less dense than those of men. Moreover, certain nutrients may be deprived from a woman due to menstruation and physical ailments. This is why a woman must be careful as to the food she is consuming and her general state of health to make sure that her body is not deprived of vital nutrients critical to good bone health. In a woman&#8217;s advanced age, signs of poor bone health are beginning to manifest in bad posture and other conditions that suggest neglect for proper bone health. </p>
<p>Proper Nutrition and Good Bone Health in Women </p>
<p>For better bone health for women, the topmost factor to be considered should be the nutrition. This is why every woman&#8217;s diet must include doses of calcium, iron, and potassium because these three elements are critical in order for a woman to have good bone health. Without them, the bone density may be severely reduced, making them weaker in structure and rendering them prone to fracture. These nutrients are obtainable from vegetables, fruits, and fishes, although they are also available from food supplements and vitamin tablets. However, doctors recommend that one eat the natural variety in order to extract the highest amount of the needed nutrient.  </p>
<p>Vitamin D and Exercise for Good Bone Health  </p>
<p>Another factor which affects bone health in women is Vitamin D. Vitamin D in itself is available through fresh sunshine very morning. Moreover, it is just one of the key elements important to good bone health that is easily obtainable from nature. On the other hand, health experts agree that sunshine and regular exercise are a good combination to ensure proper bone health. Brisk walking early in the morning or a short jog around the park or biking after dinner are just some of the physical exercises doctors recommend to women in order to promote good bone health.  On the other hand, most bone health-related problems in women occur after their menopausal period. In these times, it is even more critical that a woman exercise to keep her bones in good health. Suggested exercises include lifting small weights such as dumbbells as well as jumping exercises.   </p>
<p>Another factor that can affect bone health is posture. It is noticed that most females, especially in their young age, do not pay attention to proper posture, blithely dismissing it, not knowing the consequences later could be severe. For example, it is common for females to sit with their back arched far forward. This is a flawed position that affects bone development. </p>
<p>Avoiding Complications Arising from Poor Bone Health  </p>
<p>In order to have healthy bones, the different factors enumerated above should be given ample attention or else the consequences could be drastic. This is because damage to the bones may bring serious complications. For example, a simple fracture in the bone due to weak structure may bring internal infections and other ailments that could compound the situation further.</p>

For many, the worst symptom is the prolonged, throbbing, recurring pain. Migraines are thought to be caused by extreme constriction and then dilation of blood vessels in the head. Recent research suggests that migraines may result from altered levels of neurotransmitters (neurologically active chemicals) in the brain, particularly serotonin.</li>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Ugly facts of smoking in women</strong></p>
<p>It&#8217;s essential that each and every woman takes care of her own health and well being. Giving up smoking is an important way to begin this approach and is strongly recommended by doctors to decrease the chances of serious health problems for women later in life. Some smoking related health problems can cause infertility as well as fatal diseases like cancer.</p>
<p><strong>How does smoking affect women?</strong></p>
<p>Women smokers suffer short term repercussions such as yellow teeth, bad breath and premature wrinkles, which can be seen early on in life. Research has shown that women are more susceptible to the dangers of nicotine as they have a slower metabolic cleansing system than men have. Women are 12 times more prone to death due to lung cancer than non-smokers are and have an increased risk of other cancers such as larynx, pharynx, mouth, kidney, esophagus, pancreas, kidney and bladder cancers. They are also 10 times more susceptible to death due to bronchitis and emphysema.</p>
<p><strong>Side effects of smoking in women</strong></p>
<p>Women smokers experience unusual vaginal discharge, bleeding, and an increased frequency of secondary amenorrhea, absence of menstruation and irregularity of periods. Women are at more risk of developing cardiovascular diseases such as heart attacks and strokes during the use of estrogens. Women who smoke are 72% more likely to suffer from infertility as compared to non-smokers.</p>
<p><strong>Factors hampering normal sexual function</strong></p>
<p>Nicotine restricts blood flow, which hampers sexual arousal. The blood flow to the labia, clitoris and vagina flows less steadily, which has a detrimental effect on arousal and sensitivity. Smoking also leads to decreased fertility. Pregnant women who smoke can face issues such as preterm delivery, premature rupture of thier membranes, placenta previa, miscarriage and neonatal death.</p>
<p><strong>Why do women smoke? &#8211; Lifestyle of women smokers</strong></p>
<p>Even though some women are aware of these problems, they continue smoking. Some popular reasons cited by women for their smoking is that it allows them to relax and curb any present or potential feelings of aggression and sometimes even depression. Stress can become a frequent occurrence in the workplace and at home, and smoking is one way women often relieve themselves from that stressful sensation. Many women also smoke to lose weight. Although this is an effective method, the negative effects significantly outweigh the advantages.</p>
<p><strong>Recommended medications</strong></p>
<p>Smoking not only affects you but also the people around you. Women who have children or who wish to have children are at the greatest risk. You can take prescription smoking cessation medications such as Chantix or Zyban, to get help to quit the habit. Both Chantix and Zyban are clinically proven and approved by the FDA in the US. Consult a doctor to find out which of these 2 drugs, Chantix and Zyban are more safe and beneficial for you.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Infertility is the failure of a couple to become pregnant after a year or regular and unprotected intercourse. The fertility process in both the men and women are complex. Infertility affects about 10 percent of all the couples in the country. The probability of a woman becoming pregnant during a single menstrual cycle is only little, 30 percent or so, and this is despite of the ideal circumstances. A third of the infertility problems are due to the infertility of the woman. </p>
<p>More about Infertility in Women </p>
<p>In the country, about a tenth of the woman in the population from ages 15 to 44 have problems in getting pregnant or carrying a baby to term. This infertility is due to many risks factors that are equally important. These factors are age, weight, and smoking problems. A woman&#8217;s fertility declines with age especially when a woman is already in her mid-30s. Extreme weight levels also have an effect on women&#8217;s fertility. Having low or high weight levels can contribute to infertility. Having a history of smoking affects fertility also. It has been concluded that women who smokes cigarettes are more likely to be infertile than those who don&#8217;t. </p>
<p>There are two types of infertility. These are:</p>
<p>1. Primary infertility occurs if the couple has never been able to produce a child or has never been pregnant.</p>
<p>2. Secondary infertility happens if the couple has been able to conceive at least once but have not been able to achieve another pregnancy since then.</p>
<p> The Causes of Infertility in Women </p>
<p>There are many causes of infertility. Infertility may be caused by medical conditions that provided damage to the fallopian tubes, conditions that interfere with ovulation, and conditions that cause hormonal complications. Some of these medical conditions includes the following:</p>
<p>* Pelvic inflammatory disease<br />    <br />* Endometriosis<br />    <br />* Polycystic ovary syndrome<br />    <br />* Premature ovarian failure<br />    <br />* Uterine fibroids</p>
<p> The Diagnosis of Infertility and Some Treatment </p>
<p>If after having one year of unprotected sex and you still are unable to conceive a baby, you must talk to your doctors to have an evaluation of your fertility. Testing the fertility of a woman should be performed especially if the woman is over 35 years old and if the partner has no known risks of infertility. The medical history should be evaluated too and some specific diagnostic tests like the following can be performed:</p>
<p>* Blood test to examine hormonal levels<br />    <br />* Urine test to assess and evaluate hormonal levels<br />    <br />* Ultrasound and imaging tests to examine the uterus and fallopian tubes</p>
<p> Treating infertility is quite complex. Treatment for infertility should address first and foremost any underlying medical condition that may have played a contribution to the fertility problem. If this step or process does not restore the fertility, then there are several treatments that are available in order for a couple to become fertile again and conceive a child, and they are mentioned below:</p>
<p>* Lifestyle measures like living a healthy lifestyle and planning sexual activities with ovulation cycles and managing stress and emotions.<br />    <br />* Intake of drugs and medications that would help induce ovulation such as gonadotrophins and clomiphene.<br />   <br />* Use of assisted reproductive technologies like in vitro fertilization.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The digestive system is one of the most important systems in a woman&#8217;s body. This is because the digestive system is the one system that processes the proper nutrients as well ensuring good health. The importance of the digestive system in a woman&#8217;s body is highlighted by the fact that over time, a woman&#8217;s body is subject to various changes. Bodily changes such as menstruation, pregnancy, and menopausal may require a woman to take certain amounts of nutrients, especially in the case of pregnancy. Needless to say, it will be through the digestive system that proper nutrients will enter the body through the foods a woman eats.  </p>
<p>The Need for a Holistic Approach </p>
<p>A guide to digestive health for women must be a holistic approach because of the different maladies that could affect women as well as the different forms of treatment that could be on hand. The most common digestive ailments that women suffer from include diarrhea, constipation, gastrointestinal disorders, and fatigue. Although these can be easily dismissed as just one of the numerous simple disorders that women suffer from, their presence could indicate a deeper problem affecting women&#8217;s health.  As such, proper digestive health is a must for women. In other cases, factors that can complicate simple digestive disorders are more prevalent in women, hence the need for a holistic approach in treating the problem.  </p>
<p>In some cases, gastrointestinal disorders often get mixed up with a woman&#8217;s menstrual cycle. In this situation, treatment for the digestive problem is often delayed and in some cases dismissed altogether, resulting to the initial digestive problem becoming worse and difficult to treat. So what should be in a woman&#8217;s guide to digestive health? </p>
<p>Digestive Health and Nutrition for Women </p>
<p>To begin with, common digestive problems in a woman are the result of poor nutrition. Moreover, it may be that there is a nutritional imbalance in a woman, which means that a woman is taking too much of one nutrient while getting less for other vital nutrients. As such, the proper and balanced diet must be observed.  </p>
<p>Another factor that can contribute to poor digestive health in women is poor nutritional absorption. Again, this is due to poor and inadequate intake of the proper nutrition. Because nutrients are very vital in a woman&#8217;s body, it is a prime consideration to make sure that the proper kind and amount of nutrients are eaten.  </p>
<p>Another factor that can affect digestive health in women is the amount of food intake itself. Although this is a result of an improper diet, other factors such as depression could also be the culprit. When this happens, it is important to exercise to help burn body fats and to restore the woman&#8217;s body to health. Although medications are available to tone down body size, their efficiency is held back by the numerous side effects they cause.</p>
