How Being a Cancer Survivor Helps Me Cope With Coronavirus Fears

Published in: Next Avenue

When you’re diagnosed with cancer, one of the worst things about it, aside from the obvious countless physical ramifications, is the emotional upheaval it causes. The raw feelings of vulnerability.

Published in: Next Avenue

Published in: Next Avenue

For me and scores of other women, rarely are we questioned about symptoms of menopause, which can be severe for some and last as long as 11 years. Hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, mood swings, sleep problems and weight gain are common, yet many physicians are not asking, and many women are not telling — too embarrassed or uncomfortable to bring it up.

Don’t Miss These Signs of Ovarian Cancer

Why are women so hesitant to seek treatment for their menopause symptoms, which many admit to causing a major disruption in their physical and emotional lives? Many of the women who seek treatment remain dissatisfied and left feeling that they’ve not received adequate or quality care or education, according to the 2018 AARP magazine article, “What Doctors Don’t Know About Menopause.” Women are … [Read more...] about Is It Becoming Less Taboo to Talk About Menopause?

What Women Can Do About Losing Their Hair

Bruce Willis, Patrick Stewart, Yul Brynner: Bald, yes. Sexy, for sure. Even though many men might prefer to get a mens hair transplant in their balding days, many also embrace it. But what about for women? It's commonly more accepted - and expected - that men lose their hair.

The Best Treatments for Chronic Pain

Chronic pain is unrelenting. It persists when it should not and lasts longer than three to six months - well beyond the expected or the tolerable. "As we age, there is an increased frequency, severity and incidence of pain," says Dr. Lynn R. Webster, author of The Painful Truth: What Chronic Pain Is Really Like and Why It Matters to Each of Us. When you consider that 50 percent of older adults … [Read more...] about The Best Treatments for Chronic Pain
