			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Women have health concerns that are unique. Most of the health problems that are specific to women can be traced to our endless cycle of hormones. Most women experience symptoms of hormonal imbalance because of the demands made on their bodies.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The average onset is 48, and occurs in over 80% of women triggered by hormonal imbalance. The great majority of women can rebalance their hormones without the use of drugs.</p>
<p><span id="more-68"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Many women around the world have been using various herbs for menopause and improving their health for thousands of years. Natural herbs used for women&#8217;s health are extremely safe and effective. They are much healthier without the worry of harmful side effects that synthetic drugs may cause. Natural herbs are a concentrated source of nutrients, rich in iron, magnesium, niacin and vitamin E. These herbs are best known for its beneficial effect on hormone functioning due to its mild estrogen-like properties.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">They also have anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic, diuretic, promotes menstrual flow, widens blood vessels and contracts tissue. These herbs are known to relieve menopause symptoms, alleviate hot flashes, night sweats, anxiety and depression, treat pms, alleviate fluid retention, muscle spasms, vaginal dryness, premenstrual discomfort, stimulation of vaginal maturation, sooth irritated and congested uterine, cervix, and vaginal tissues, improve mental acuity, alleviate symptoms of daily stress, as well as overall health.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Herbs will promote hormonal balance and provide a natural and gentle relief for the three key hormones that fluctuate during menopause: estrogen, testosterone and progesterone. Herbs are used to address not only health disorders that are particular to woman but to improve women&#8217;s quality of life, their sexuality and general well being.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">HPV and cervical cancer have long been linked, and this article shows you just how. This article also tells you how you can stop HPV and cervical cancer before it&#8217;s too late and the consequences of ignorance and irresponsibility become irrevocable.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">HPV, which stands for human papillovirus, is the most common sexually transmitted disease (STD) in the world today. It is composed of a family of more than one different viruses that can attack various parts of the body. There are some strains of HPV that cause the development of warts on the hands, feet, and other human body parts. Other strains &#8211; the most usual ones &#8211; appear on the genital area, including the penis, scrotum, anus, rectum, vulva, vagina, and cervix.</p>
<p><span id="more-53"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Over the years, the connection between HPV and cervical cancer has been explored thoroughly by scientists, and they found out that indeed, the two diseases are associated. Today, 76% of the women in the United States of America who are part of the 24 million Americans infected with HPV are ignorant of the said STD, which is a sad fact considering that HPV is the cause of virtually 100% of all known cervical cancers.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">There are over 60 types of HPV. Clinical infections (or those that manifest symptoms such as visible genital warts) occur in only 1% of the infected population; sub-clinical infections (or those that do not manifest symptoms) occur in the rest. Scientists have discovered that the viral strains which cause genital warts have nothing to do with increased risks in cervical cancer or any other kind of cancer, for that matter. However, the viral strains which do not cause genital warts, which are greater in number, are responsible for the growth of cervical cancers, tying HPV and cervical cancer together.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In order to fight HPV and cervical cancer, it is important to get tested for HPV first. HPV viruses may be detected during a woman&#8217;s annual GYN examination. It is advised that women who are diagnosed with HPV have regular pap smears. It must be noted that pap smears are not specifically designed to detect the existence of HPV, but they do indicate abnormal cervical changes, which in turn may indicate an HPV infection or some other vaginal infection. Doctors usually issue an order for a follow-up screening procedure, such as a biopsy or a colposcopy. These procedures can follow the women&#8217;s condition more closely, allowing detection of further cervical changes after pap smear results come out.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Cervical dysplasia, which pap smear results of women with HPV may indicate, is considered by many doctors as a precursor condition for invasive cancer in the cervix. This ties HPV and cervical cancer even closer. A number of dysplasia cases regress over time, but the factors that contribute to the progression of the dysplasia into cervical cancer remain unknown to this date.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The best and only way to steer clear of both HPV and cervical cancer is to visit the doctor, have yourself tested for any strain of HPV, and undergo treatment right away if viruses are detected.</p>
