Women's health notes: Pap smear test could save your life
Prevent Cancer of the Cervix
Cervical cancer is a malignant growth of tissue in the cervix uteri or the cervical area. The Human Papillona Virus (HPV) infection is a necessary factor in the development of nearly all cases of cervical cancer. HPV Vaccines have been licensed in the Europe in prevention of this.
The cervical cancer in its early stage could be traced up with the pap smear test. The Pap Smear screening is procedure by which a smear is taken from the outer opening of the cervix. The test aims to detect and prevent the progression of potentially cancerous cells caused by the Human Papillona Virus.
Generally, it is recommended that those who had sex are to take the screening. Frequency on consultation varies from annual to five years interval. Ask you doctor for guidelines on the test procedures.
CANCER
as defined by wikipedia
Cancer (medical term: malignant neoplasm) is a class of diseases in which a group of cells display the traits of uncontrolled growth (growth and division beyond the normal limits), invasion (intrusion on and destruction of adjacent tissues), and sometimes metastasis (spread to other locations in the body via lymph or blood). These three malignant properties of cancers differentiate them from benign tumors, which are self-limited, do not invade or metastasize. Most cancers form a tumor but some, like leukemia, do not.
Amenorrhoea
as defined by wikipedia
Amenorrhea is a condition in women's health that is characterized by the absence of a menstrual period in a woman of reproductive age. Physiologic states of amenorrhoea are seen during pregnancy and lactation (breastfeeding), the latter also forming the basis of a form of contraception known as the lactational amenorrhea method. Outside of the reproductive years there is absence of menses during childhood and after menopause.
Amenorrhoea is a symptom with many potential causes. Primary amenorrhoea (menstruation cycles never starting) may be caused by developmental problems such as the congenital absence of the uterus, or failure of the ovary to receive or maintain egg cells. Also, delay in pubertal development will lead to primary amenorrhoea. Secondary amenorrhoea (menstruation cycles ceasing) is often caused by hormonal disturbances from the hypothalamus and the pituitary gland or from premature menopause, or intrauterine scar formation.
Dysmenorrhea (or dysmenorrhoea)
as defined by wikipedia
While many individuals experience minor pain during menstruation, dysmenorrhea is diagnosed when the pain is so severe as to limit normal activities, or require medication.

6. Menorrhagia (heavy menstrual periods). This is a common indication for hysterectomy.
7. Prolapse of pelvic organs

In the succeeding entries, these women's health concerns and diseases will be discussed in-depth.

Pelvic Organ Prolapse is a very common condition, particularly among older women. It's estimated that half of women who have children will experience some form of prolapse in later life, but because many women don't seek help from their doctor the actual number of women affected by prolapse is unknown. This leaflet explains the different types of prolapse that can occur and provides information about causes, diagnosis, treatment options and prevention as well as what you can do to help ease your symptoms.
Prolapse may also be called uterine prolapse, genital prolapse, uterovaginal prolapse, pelvic relaxation, pelvic floor dysfunction, urogenital prolapse or vaginal wall prolapse.
