Mandy Moore graced the cover of Women's Health Magazine for their July/August issue. She looks amazing for her photo shoot and as usual, gave a great, candid interview! I particularly like the quote she gave about her marriage to Ryan Adams. She seems like she went into things with her eyes open. Hopefully this will be a relationship that goes against the Hollywood divorce trend! Thanks to : Penis Device]]></description>

					  <link>http://www.enlargepenisguide.com/articles/blogs/1516/Hair-Loss-in-Women-is-More-Common-Than-You-Think---Causes-of-Female-Hair-Loss.html</link>
					  <description><![CDATA[
Whenever the topic of hair loss comes up, many people seem to forget that vitamins can play an important role as well. Unknown to many people, the health of our scalp is very important in preventing hair from falling out.
Some of us are genetically predisposed to hairloss, and a group of hormones disturbs the growth process. These hormones (androsteinedione, testosterone, and dihydrotestosterone) are present in a man&#8217;s body in greater amounts and in a women&#8217;s body in lesser amounts. In time, some of the hair follicles die, and others are no longer able to produce or maintain normal hair growth.
Chemicals - hair relaxers are very strong and breaks the hair internally. Hair coloring - which is already considered a health risk because of it&#8217;s ingredients PPD and Lead Acetate. Over-processing the hair using these harmful chemicals is one of the major reasons for hair loss.
Other causes of female pattern hair loss include polycystic ovary syndrome (a female hormonal problem). Certain autoimmune disorders may cause inflammation of the scalp, and the hair comes out in patches or clumps.
Women&#8217;s natural hair growth patterns can also be altered by severe emotional trauma, childbirth, surgery, &#8220;crash&#8221; dieting, anemia, thyroid conditions, and certain medications.
Since the causes are varied, it is essential for women who suffer significant hair loss to obtain a correct diagnosis of their condition and find the underlying medical problem that should be treated initially. This is often done with blood tests or, when it becomes necessary, a scalp biopsy.Thanks to : Penis Device]]></description>

					  <title><![CDATA[Vulvar Cancer Survival Rates]]></title>
					  <link>http://www.enlargepenisguide.com/articles/blogs/1515/Vulvar-Cancer-Survival-Rates.html</link>
					  <description><![CDATA[The survival rates for vulvar cancer largely depend on the type of cancer cells identified, and the stage at which the cancer is detected. When detected early, cancer is more easily managed through various treatment methods, including chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or surgery. Squamous cell carcinoma of the vulva has a five year survival rate of approximately 93% when identified at stage I. When identified at stage IV, however, the five year survival rate is approximately 29%.1 
Fast Facts: 

Adenocarcinoma of the vulva has a 100% five year survival rate when diagnosed at stage I, and a 74% survival rate when diagnosed at stage III.1 
Vulvar melanoma carries an 83% five year survival rate when diagnosed at stage I, and a 35% five year survival rate when identified at stage III.1 
The survival rate for operable vulvar cancer is approximately 90% when there is no lymph node involvement.2 
Patients are urged to consider improvements in treatment methods and medications when considering survival rates, as all data used to compile statistics is generally aged in order to gather data accurately.1 Thanks to : Penis Device]]></description>

					  <link>http://www.enlargepenisguide.com/articles/blogs/1514/Md-State-Leaders-Speak-Fondly-Of-Kennedy.html</link>
					  <description><![CDATA[Sen. Ben Cardin said Kennedy had the &#34;leadership, wisdom and profound understanding of complicated issues to accomplish great things for our nation.&#34; Cardin said he served with Kennedy for two years on the Senate Judiciary Committee. &#34;Personally, I have lost someone who has been a mentor, a friend, and one of my heroes,&#34; he said. &#34;The nation has lost a leader who fought to right wrongs, who worked to ensure that all Americans had a better tomorrow and who knew how to work across party lines to make important progress.&#34; 





&#34;Sen. Kennedy drew people to him because he truly liked people and was genuinely interested in their lives.&#34;
- Sen. Barbara MikulskiGov. Martin O'Malley called Kennedy a &#34;great champion of progress.&#34; &#34;Senator Kennedy worked very hard to make this world a more just and more fair place,&#34; O'Malley said. &#34;It was his calling, his discipline and his craft. &#34;His colleagues from both sides of the aisle had a tremendous amount of respect for him because of his presence of compassion, because of his discipline, because of his hard work, because of his adeptness at forging consensus, and because of his belief that each of us can make a difference in this world.&#34; Rep. Chris Van Hollen said Kennedy, who died Tuesday, was an unparalleled leader and tenacious fighter for America's working class people. Van Hollen called the 77-year-old Massachusetts senator a &#34;tenacious fighter for working men and women who share the belief that America is the greatest country in the world.&#34; Kennedy, Van Hollen said, will inspire other lawmakers to accomplish health insurance reform because Kennedy said health care was &#34;the fight of his life.&#34; Retired U.S. Sen. Paul Sarbanes was a good friend of Kennedy's, serving alongside him for 30 years. &#34;I saw firsthand his dedicated efforts to build a more just society for all Americans. His powerful leadership for a better America will be deeply missed,&#34; he said in a statement. Meanwhile, Rep. Elijah Cummings said Wednesday that he witnessed Kennedy's &#34;courage, determination, and selfless service&#34; to improve the lives of all Americans through his last days. Cummings said Kennedy's dedication to improving people's lives, whether it was through quality education or affordable health care, &#34;created an impact that will be felt by generations yet unborn.&#34; House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer said Kennedy had access to the best medical care but never forgot those who weren't as fortunate. He said Kennedy was devoted to the cause of health care reform for the sake of others and called on other lawmakers to pass health care reform. 





&#34;Senator Kennedy worked very hard to make this world a more just and more fair place.&#34;
- Gov. Martin O'MalleyHoyer said Kennedy inspired his colleagues and made a difference for millions of Americans by being passionate about social justice. Former Maryland Lt. Gov. Kathleen Kennedy-Townsend, the niece of the late senator, was distraught Wednesday morning waiting for a flight to Massachusetts. She acknowledged to 11 News that this has been a very difficult month for the Kennedy family. Sen. Barbara Mikulski recalled that she met Kennedy 20 years before she was elected to the Senate. Mikulski said she was just one of two women senators when she was elected, but Kennedy was always encouraging. The Baltimore Democrat said Kennedy and former Maryland Sen. Paul Sarbanes were what she called her &#34;Sir Galahads.&#34; Mikulski said millions of women are alive today because of her work with Kennedy establishing an Office of Women's Health at the National Institutes of Health. The Maryland senator said Kennedy was a titan on issues related to creating opportunity such as women's health, education, and civil and voting rights. &#34;Sen. Kennedy drew people to him because he truly liked people and was genuinely interested in their lives,&#34; she said. &#34;He brought out the best in those around him. He was the same good-hearted guy whether he was at a bowling alley or meeting with international leaders.&#34;....&#160;Thanks to : Penis Device]]></description>

					  <title><![CDATA[SA Feminists speak on Caster Semenya, sex tests and gender mix]]></title>
					  <link>http://www.enlargepenisguide.com/articles/blogs/1513/SA-Feminists-speak-on-Caster-Semenya-sex-tests-and-gender-mix.html</link>
					  <description><![CDATA[
Caster Semenya and &#8211; the &#8216;elephant in the room&#8217;
We write in response to the controversy surrounding the 800 m women&#8217;s world running champion, Caster Semenya and the flurry of articles surrounding this sad saga. 
Some of those championing Caster&#8217;s cause accuse those wanting to sex-test Caster of imperialism and racism (as well as sexism). Others plead for the us to wait before &#8216;reaching a verdict&#8217; arguing that the realities of sex testing are enormously complex. 
Firstly to address the issue of terminology, over which there seems to be confusion. Gender is the dominant society&#8217;s views on how women and men should look, behave, what roles they should play in society, how they should perform and frequently what rewards they receive &#8211; hence gender inequity. This has usually led to lower status and discrimination against girls/women but has increasingly been seen as limiting the options and potentially harming boys/men too. Gender is not a politically correct term for sex. Sex testing would be just that &#8211; establishing whether a person is biologically female or male. So gender testing is not the term that should be used this case, but sex testing. 
Secondly, to tackle the science issue, as this tends to obscure the real issue of gender stereotyping and discrimination so evident in this case. Professor Tim Noakes, an international sports science expert says the issue of &#8216;unfair advantage&#8217; which is the only thing that should be at play here as it is in the case of drug use,is simple to establish. He states that the issue that needs to be clarified here is whether the person concerned is a man masquerading as a woman or not. This could be established by a simple physical examination &#8216;handled within the usual constraints of the doctor/patient domain &#8211; not in the public domain&#8221; (Cape Argus, &#8216;Why the world should leave Caster alone&#8217; Fri Aug 21, 2009:21), as has happened in the harmful manner in which the IAAF has handled this. 
As for the rest, he says as there is great variation. All other possible tests including chromosome testing is indeterminate and so that should be left well alone. The calls for more to be done in dealing with this issue and await judgment are therefore erroneous and cloud the issue in a shroud of inappropriate so-called scientific enquiry.The third issue relates to what lies at the heart of the matter, social norms. While issues of racism and imperialism have and will continue to apply in various circumstances and have a sensitive history in terms of women&#8217;s bodies particular in Africa, focusing on these issues in the current context obscures the much neglected &#8216;elephant in the room&#8217; &#8211; gender discrimination. Comments within the press and on talk shows are unwittingly guilty of this same problem in placing &#8216;blame&#8217; at Athletics South Africa or her coach&#8217;s door. (article in sports scientists.com and editorial in Mail and Guardian &#8216;Racing to conclusions&#8217;, August 21-27 2009:20). They argue that the authorities should have pre-empted this situation, given her prior experiences (at the hands of the teachers, members of the public and previous authorities). &#8216;Pre-empting the situation&#8217; would fall prey to the exactly these same prejudices &#8211; pandering to what people perceive to be &#8216;normal&#8217; for girls or women. This is akin to what might have happened during the apartheid era where actions may have tried to stave off racism by negotiating black people&#8217;s entry into racially reserved sporting or cultural events before the time. Many white girls who do not &#8216;look&#8217; as society expects will tell similar humiliating stories of being stopped from entering female public toilets or being questioned as to whether they male or female. At the core of this issue are ideas about gender how girls/women and boys/men &#8216;look&#8217; and &#8216;behave&#8217; and perform (in this case perhaps a young woman winning by 2 seconds ahead of the field is not seen as &#8216;normal&#8217;). 
This is what has been so hard to address locally in South Africa, despite our progressive constitution, due to deeply held dominant ideas about what is &#8216;female&#8217; and &#8216;male&#8217;. It is these ideas and actions that promote gender discrimination. This leads to men, who in societies&#8217; terms do not look &#8216;masculine enough&#8217;, being called &#8216;sissies&#8217; and women who look not &#8216;feminine enough&#8217; being labelled &#8216;butch&#8217;. In our own society, this has led to violent attacks on some women and in our own and other countries to violent attacks on some boys/men. This is what we need to clearly point as underlying this case and name it for what it is. Framing the discrimination as racism or imperialism without reference to gender discrimination as the main issue risks reinforcing gender stereotypes. 
Societies have a long way to go in terms of changing the dominant ideas on how women and men should &#8216;look&#8217; and behave and perform and in some cases, dress &#8211; and allow for variations in &#8216;looks&#8217; and roles to be underpinned by what people would like to be and do, rather than societies&#8217; current dominant expectations. There are many excellent organisations in our own country and abroad that have worked with women and men on this issues, but as it is all to obvious from this and other cases, much work is still needed for these choices and this freedom to take root in the broader society as a whole.
Caster should not be having to deal with a world controversy over her win. She should be unreservedly basking in the glory of her and our incredible victory. No doubt she has experienced this humiliation and discrimination at other levels before and has become somewhat hardened to its effect, but we wish her, her friends and her family strength in dealing with this blatant gender discrimination. As Caster Semenya and our other gold medal winner, Mbulaeni Mulaudzi, return tomorrow &#8211; congratulations on your amazing wins and Caster, you have our full support. For the rest, to Caster&#8217;s detractors or apologists, hang your heads in shame for not &#8216;naming&#8217; the issue for what it is and for perpetuating gender stereotypes and discrimination in her individual case and in society as a whole.&#8217;
As we once again approach the 16 days of activism against violence against women, let us bear these issues in mind and not mouth platitudes in our struggle against gender inequity and discrimination.

					  <title><![CDATA[Endometriosis surgery or Pregnancy?]]></title>
					  <link>http://www.enlargepenisguide.com/articles/blogs/1512/Endometriosis-surgery-or-Pregnancy.html</link>
					  <description><![CDATA[I'm 35 yrs old from California. Never had kids and planning on having one, hopefully soon! My husband and I have been trying to conceive for approx. a year with no luck. So the frustration (and old age), has led me to see a doctor. A month ago, ultrasound has shown that I&#8217;ve 2 cysts on my left ovary (sizes: 2.1cm and 2.5cm) and so I've been diagnosed with endometriosis (endometrioma). According to my doctor, is severe stage (didn&#8217;t specify level) Usually, I have no pain during my periods. Since my priority is having a baby, my doctor gave me the choice of either having the surgery first and then try to conceive, or try to get pregnant first (by using fertility aid, for like 3 months) and then go for the surgery. And that&#8217;s my dilemma.1. What are my chances of conceiving with endo? He said that the endo will melt away if I get pregnant so I&#8217;m having a hard time deciding.2. Will my chances of conceiving decrease after the surgery? Also, I&#8217;m worried about:3. type of surgery: According to my doctor, he&#8217;ll not perform a laparoscopy (which is more common and recovery is faster), but a traditional incision surgery. I wonder why? I believe it&#8217;s the size of my cysts? Or maybe the cysts are not benign? (He said they were benign!) although there was something unusual about the cysts : they were still present on my ovary when I was having my period. He said they shouldn&#8217;t be showing on the ultrasound during that time.4. will the surgery damage/deteriorate /affect my reproductive system?5. Time. I&#8217;m going to be 36 early next year and the chances of conceiving will decrease if I do surgery firstPlease advise!!! Time is sensitive and I cannot come to a decision, I&#8217;m so confused!Here&#8217;s some extra info that might help: I&#8217;m 5&#8217;3, 115 lbs. Every visit, I have a close to high blood pressure (135/90). On my 3rd menst.day, test showed FSH of 8.9 (which is close to bad) and around ovulation my estradiol was bad: 128.0. However, I ovulated by myself and size of egg was OK. My husband sperm test was good.I don&#8217;t know if stress can affect the results of my blood test, but I was going through some difficult times since I was diagnosed with endo (lost my job and my father had a terrible accident, all happening within 2 weeks)I appreciate your help and I thank you so very much in advance.Answer:Hello Sarah from California,Prior to answering your questions specifically, I would strongly recommend that you go have a consult with a fertility specialist. I think that you can be counseled better that way. I am presuming that your doctor gave you the diagnosis of stage IV endometriosis (severe) based on the presence of the presumed endometriomas. This was seen on ultrasound but not based on a laparoscopic evaluation. Endometriosis can only be staged by laparoscopy and endometriomas can only be diagnosed by tissue biopsy obtained from laparoscopy. That being said, there is a high likelihood that your doctor is right since endometriomas have a certain look on ultrasound and the presence of endometriomas usually means severe scar tissue formation in the pelvis, which is stage IV endometriosis. However, that is all a presumption before the fact (as attorney's like to say).In answer to your questions:1. 20% of patients with infertility have endometriosis (1 in 5). Most of these patients will conceive, although the method will vary. There is no specific statistic for endometriosis. Studies have shown no relationship between stage I and II endometriosis and infertility, but there is definite reduction of fertility with stage III or IV. If you have stage III or IV endometriosis, IVF is the treatment of choice because the pelvis has been severely altered.2. Your chances of conceiving can increase after endometriosis has been removed surgically and if you are treated with medication for a 3-6 month period after. However, this is very dependent on the type of surgery you will have. From the type that you say your doctor advises, there is a high risk that the surgery itself may compromise your fertility by increased scar tissue production and damage to your ovaries and tubes.3. I would NOT recommend the type of surgery that your doctor recommends if it is for fertility. He is probably assuming that there is going to be severe scar tissue formation in the abdomen and the only way that he can remove the &#34;masses&#34; is through an open procedure. However, I usually will approach this by laparoscopy first to see if it is possible to remove by this less invasive and less destructive method. If it is not possible laparoscopically, then I schedule for an open procedure at a later date. The problem with the open procedure, other than the increased risks, hospital days and recuperation, is that it can be a more complicated procedure leading to more tissue destruction, scar tissue formation and the possible removal of the ovary. If you would consider proceeding directly to IVF, then the removal of the endometriosis is not required. However, as I mentioned previously, you cannot know what the masses are until you obtain tissue and that can only be tested after their removal. So that may be the indication for the surgery.4. Yes, as mentioned above.5. Your age is a significant issue because fertility decreases with age. With the combination of age and endometriosis (severe), I would strongly recommend that you consider going directly to IVF as the treatment of choice. This way, the surgery does not need to be done. You doctor is correct in saying that pregnancy is a great treatment for endometriosis. However, you have to become pregnant first and endometriosis interferes with this. Endometriosis causes the pelvis to become a hostile environment for the egg. IVF is best because we remove the eggs directly and take them out of the hostile environment. Endometriosis does not affect the inside of the uterus (uterine cavity).Thanks to : Penis Device]]></description>

					  <title><![CDATA[Acting Against Women &#38; Spiting the Poor: U.S. Catholic]]></title>
					  <link>http://www.enlargepenisguide.com/articles/blogs/1511/Acting-Against-Women--Spiting-the-Poor-US-Catholic.html</link>
					  <description><![CDATA[
In an under-reported story on an over-reported topic, The New York Times did a good article on how &#34;some&#34; Catholic Bishops would like to threaten the massive project of healthcare reform so that they can impress upon women that their bodies are not like (in an inferior way) the bodies of men and that women's primary purpose in life is to think of themselves first and foremost as incubators.
The failure of other media outlets to address this propagandistic and co-opted effort by sexless men allows their backdoor approach (which is different from grassroots, because they are making decisions as an elite minority and then running around to gather support from Catholics who may or not agree with them politically) gives it power and momentum. It needs to be called out. Statements like these excerpts below show how these men would like to deny health services to all people (children, whom they profess to save, the old, and the poor, the people whom they profess to support), just because they want to make a statement about something that they will never experience:
&#8220;'No health care reform is better than the wrong sort of health care reform,' Bishop R. Walker Nickless of Sioux City, Iowa, declared in a recent pastoral lette r, urging the faithful to call their members of Congress.
&#34;In a diocesan newspaper column this week , Archbishop Charles J. Chaput of Denver agreed, saying the proposal was 'not only imprudent; it&#8217;s also dangerous.'&#34;
What's more &#34;dnagerous&#34; than holding back medical services from the poor?
They'd rather damage the lives of the poor than let women make decisions about their own bodies while also pushing abortion underground to the point where it may kill mothers. These menThanks to : Penis Device]]></description>

					  <title><![CDATA[Better Pap Smear Follow-Up Needed Among Lower-Income Women]]></title>
					  <link>http://www.enlargepenisguide.com/articles/blogs/1509/Better-Pap-Smear-Follow-Up-Needed-Among-Lower-Income-Women.html</link>
					  <description><![CDATA[
THURSDAY, Aug. 20 (HealthDay News) -- In the Canadian province of Ontario, fewer than half of women with abnormal Pap tests receive proper follow-up care and low-income women are less likely to be screened for cervical cancer than high-income women, a new study has found.
&#34;Cervical cancer is one of the most preventable forms of cancer, yet in Ontario more than 1 million women have not been screened, and a disproportionate number of these women are living in lower-income communities,&#34; principal investigator Dr. Arlene Bierman, a physician at St. Michael's Hospital in Toronto, said in a news release from the hospital.
She and her colleagues found that less than 50 percent of women who had a Pap test that detected a low-grade abnormality received appropriate follow-up care within the recommended time period, including either a repeat test or a medical procedure called a colposcopy, which examines a woman's cervix and vagina. The low rate of follow-up in these women is cause for concern because they tend to be at greatest risk for eventually developing cervical cancer, the study authors noted.
The study also found that the overall rate of cervical cancer screening in Ontario was 69 percent, with screening rates of 61 percent for low-income women and 75 percent for high-income women.
&#34;We need to make special efforts to reach women who are screened, but do not receive the necessary follow-up and may eventually fall through the cracks. To improve surveillance and treatment, we need a system that ensures all abnormal Pap tests are followed-up so that Ontario women can receive the best care possible,&#34; Bierman said in the news release.

					  <description><![CDATA[Whether the &#34;wet spot&#34; on the bed after sex turns out to be blood, or there is spotting on toilet paper when you wipe, bleeding after sex is a disconcerting climax to intimacy. There are two basic culprits that can cause bleeding after sex (also known as postcoital bleeding or PCB). The first potential problems are with the cervix. The second tier of possibilities encompass things that cause bleeding from the lining of the uterus. Bleeding from the CervixBleeding coming from the cervix could come from a cervical lesion &#8211; if one has had a recent normal PAP smear this is thought to be unlikely. One study found that only 49% of British gynecologists will do a repeat PAP if the woman with bleeding after sex has had a recent, normal PAP smear (Alfhaily, 2009). However, several studies from colposcopy clinics have found, even with a normal PAP, women with postcoital bleeding did have abnormal cells of the cervix. The rates for abnormal cervical cells ranged from 2.2% of high grade SIL (Ray &#38; Kaul, 2008) to 9% of CIN (Khattab, 2005). The rate of actual cervical cancer was reported by Khattab to be 3.6%!An infection of the cervix (cervicitis) can make the cervix more friable (easier to bleed). Both Gonorrhea and Chlamydia can produce bleeding from the cervix. Some 80% of British gynecologists report doing a Chlamydia screening on their patients with PCB. Thus, Chlamydia may be picked up by a primary care MD or GYN. By the time a woman is referred for colposcopy, only 2.3% of bleeding episodes after sex were linked to Chlamydia (Sahu, 2007).In some women there is a normal enlargement of the area of glandular type tissue (cervical ectopi). These women can have bleeding even when the cervix is sampled with a PAP smear. Some common causes of cervical ectopi can include: being a young teenager, using birth control pills, or being pregnant. Studies have found that cervical ectopi can be the cause for bleeding after sex in 25% to 33.6% of cases. A polyp coming from the cervical canal may bleed only when the cervix is touched. This could include sex toys, fingers, or a penis. Cervical polyps may account for 5% to 12.5% of bleeding after sex. Fortunately, most cervical polyps of this type can be readily seen during a speculum exam.Bleeding from the Lining of the UterusIf the uterine lining (endometrium) is easily destabilized, having sex can prompt spotting or breakthough bleeding. Some women will have this type of spotting if sex occurs during ovulation or right before menstrual flow is ready to begin. Women using hormonal forms of birth control may also have less stability of the uterine lining. Many birth control pill users have noted breakthrough bleeding after sex or even heavy exercise.The same infections (eg Gonorrhea, Chlamydia) that infect the cervix can also infect the lining of the uterus. Infections of the uterine lining can make it easier to destabilize causing erratic bleeding as well as bleeding after sex. Endometrial polyps or uterine fibroids can create a focus for unstable uterine lining. Additionally, some women with adenomyosis (endometriosis in the wall of the uterus) report bleeding after sex. As WebMD readers know, if a woman has a history of missed periods, her uterine lining may be very thickened. In that situation, spotting after sex can represent small amounts of the lining being shed &#8211; just off the top layer.Last, but certainly not least, pregnancy needs to be ruled out. Other, less common causes for bleeding include small tears in vaginal tissue. This would be most often seen in a postmenopausal woman who is not using estrogen-especially if she is resuming sex. If the spotting is after the first time having intercourse (losing your virginity) there can be spotting from tissues at the vaginal opening.Could this bleeding after sex be no big deal?Having heard about all the possible causes of bleeding after sex one would think that a culprit could be found to explain the bleeding. I was surprised to learn that, in three separate studies, about 50% of women evaluated showed no obvious reason for the bleeding! In each of these three studies women received thorough evaluations including colposcopies. However, given the multiple causes of bleeding after sex, one should go see a GYN if the spotting persists or is recurrent. When all the possible causes have been ruled out, then you might be one of the 50% where there is no pathological reason for the bleeding. Until a work up has been done, I would suggest that bleeding after sex is not a symptom to be ignored.&#160;Thanks to : Penis Enhancement Pill]]></description>
