As Big A Role in Women's Health Tampons Play, In The Future They May Become Our Source of Stem Cells

Invented in 1933, the tampon is almost universally used by all women at some time. But for women who have monthly period the costs can be high, some women say this is in part due to unfair taxation. This by what of what is known as a Tampon Tax. Whether you believe in this tax or night, light the media has shed on 'tampon tax' has highlighted the issues of tampon use most women don't think about. Tampons are taxed, as are most actual medical supplies, like a band aid. Medications are not taxed, and some are arguing that tampons are a health necessity and shouldn't be taxed. Some female reporters are feeling that the tampon tax twitter feed is not right and the tax is fair, so not every one agrees. Tampons can prevent stress incontinence. Stem cell sources are potentially abundant and for women: monthly! Their uses are not ubiquitous, but its getting more and more likely that some day you will use your stem cells. It really is more effective if you could just savesaving menstrual blood rather than tampons. and is an idea. Not really possible for those having menstrual suppression so they don't have regular monthly cycles.We've gabbed about our cycles and what to have in the way of regular periods before, in actually several posts. I'm still advocating we gab and follow this topic rather than leap. But for the right woman, or the right family, it's a huge advance.

Passing Your Uterine Lining, Menstrual Period Norms

Decidual Cast Periods can be fairly easy, passing some tissue at a time, or off can come the whole lining in one piece called a decidual cast. Generally the lining of the uterus is only 6-8 mm thick at the time of the menstrual period, and it is shed gradually, a few cells at a time. The decidual cast is when the entire lining passes spontaneously. It's not uncommon, but it usually both uncomfortable, and alarming to some. But us women are designed to have some sort of periods Or Not? We have to pass tissue each month. Or Not? Are they good for us? Or Not? Do we want them? Or Not? Is this something that is individual? Or Not? It's a complex topic that I will be discussing a lot over my time in this blog. So lets start with basics: How much do we bleed and what are we loosing, and just what was this that the patient passed? And another basic: track your periods, and the Women's Health Practice site http://www.womenshealthpractice.com/media/pdf/menstrual_chart.pdf you...

Post-Endometrial Ablation Syndrome

If you have had an endometrial ablation and have developed symptoms of pelvic pain you might have post endometrial ablation syndrome. What is post-endometrial ablation syndrome? It is a constellation of symptoms due to entrapped blood or tissue within a uterus that has previously undergone an endometrial ablation. We are able to diagnose this at Women's Health Practic e but occasionally other conditions are causing similar symptoms. Other complications of endometrial ablation include pregnancy, risks from pre-existing conditions such as a polyp or fibroid, an infection of the uterus, or a pregnancy. If you have had a tubal ligation then it is possible that the condition could be post-ablation tubal sterilization syndrome. The ablation procedure is designed to destroy all lining tissue, but in fact there is no way to confirm the completeness of the ablation. It is thought that either residual or regrowth of the tissue is producing the symptoms of post-endometrial ablation syndrom...

You Have an IUD: But a Positive Pregnancy Test

Fortunately IUD pregnancy failures are rare. But if you have an IUD for contraception, and you get a positive pregnancy test, you probably ask yourself, what next? Well, make your gyno appointment promptly, this is a condition that is not typically an emergency, but it can be and it’s not handled over the phone or on a blog, or through self diagnosis! That being said, some researchers from University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas decided to look back at over 4100 women who had IUDs and of those 42 cases who became pregnant in their institution, over about a year period of time, to help understand what these women could expect when they got to their gyno and what actually happened to their pregnancies. Accurate pregnancy diagnosis, pelvic examination, and pelvic ultrasound were the cornerstones of the evaluations. They had very specific ways they looked at their ultrasound to prove there was no pregnancy in the fallopian tube, or partially in the fallopian tube...
