Hormones act like a messenger substance in our body and it can bind the cells known as receptor site, where they initiate a chain of specific event. The menstrual is dominated by estrogen in first half cycle, which builds the lining of uterus in preparation for a potential pregnancy. The ovulation is referred to an egg released from the ovaries after day14of the cycle approximately or two weeks prior to the menstruation. The ovary begins to produce progesterone as a result of ovulation.

The progesterone is dominant in this second half cycle. The impotent role of progesterone is to prepare the uterine lining for pregnancy and also to prevent build up of lining by estrogen. If the egg is not fertilized, the level of estrogen and progesterone drops causing sloughing of the uterine lining, or menstruation. For a potential pregnancy the body goes through this cycle every month to ensure a fresh uterine lining.

Cessations of menstruation due to normal declaim in ovarian function. Technically, we can say menopause (or post menopause) occurs when a women has not had her period for 12 consecutive months.

Over the past decade, women’s health has emerged as a rapidly expanding field of scientific inquiry and knowledge with important implications for clinical practice. Women’s health can be viewed broadly as the study of the effect of sex and gender on health and disease that occurs across the spectrum of the biologic, behavioral, and social sciences.

Today I am going to study an important issue of women health- that is HOT FLUSH. Although hot flush can be found very occasionally in case of male.

It is not a disease actually; symptom of a disease – the compositions of some problems which raise out at the commencement of menopause (the cessation of menstrual cycle) and perimenopause (the junction between two time spans of the end stage menstruation and the cessation of menstruation). As we are just talking regarding menstrual cycle, you can understand this is a common feature among the women at their end stage of reproductive life. Excessive feelings of severe heat along with profuse production of sweat followed by fast pulse rate are common features.

Ovaries are the most important part of the female reproductive system. A woman contains two ovaries, situated at the both sides of the uterus.

The function of ovaries is to produce ovum that combine with the male sperm to produce fertilized egg called “zygote” and hormones which includes estrogen and

progesterone.

Ovarian cancer occurs when cells start to grow abruptly in an uncontrolled fashion, resulting in the formation of tumor. Each year, 23,000 new cases of ovarian cancer are being diagnosed in the U.S.

On average, 90 percent of cancer develops in the epithelium, the thin outer covering, of the ovaries. Unfortunately, ovarian cancer remains undiagnosed till it has spread in the abdomen.

Normally, 70 to 80 percent of women show the menopausal symptoms and these symptoms can get started before the arrival of the condition. These symptoms indicate the initiation of the transition period of menopause and last for different time in different women.

In some women, lifestyle changes may prove to be enough for them, for example, regular exercise, limited alcohol intake, quitting smoking and healthy diet. Other seeks for the hormone replacement therapy or other medical and herbal treatments.

Each woman has its own experience of menopause, but a close friend that has passed this stage may prove helpful in easing the difficulties that occur in the transition state. These internal changes bring about multiple psychological and physical symptoms which can be regarded as the symptoms of menopause.

The ovarian cancer

Posted: February 24th 2009 By editor1         under: Cancer, Women's Health     Tags: , , , ,

The female ovaries are the key part of female reproductive system. These are situated in the pelvic region. The size of ovary is almost equal to a size of rich almond.

Ovaries, under the influence of endocrine system release the sex hormone i.e. estrogen and progesterone. The function of the ovaries is to release egg that travel through the fallopian tube to the uterus.

During the menopause, the ovaries stop egg production and release very minute level of hormones.

Ovarian cancer an overview

Almost all types of cancer grow at the cellular level. It’s a natural process that body form new cells through cell multiplication when the old cells die. These new cell replace the old dead cells and keep the body in proper working condition. If some how, the cells start to replicate without the need of the body and unable to replace the old cells, a mass of tissues called “tumor” would be produced.

Menopause

The term “menopause” is referred, as a complete stoppage of the menstrual cycle for more than one year.

It is also known as the end of fertility period of a woman which occurs at substantial length of time before the death.

In adult women, who have their uterus but are not conceiving or lactating, menopause can be identified with complete absence of menstruation for at least one year.

Conversely, women those have undergone uterus removal, postmenopause is identified with the high level of follicle stimulating hormone in their blood.

Onset of menopause

Menopause usually occurs roughly in the middle age and presents the vanishing fertility period of the woman’s life. However, it is not so easy to associate menopause with the permanent inhibition of the menstruation because the uterus changes are secondary factor, key factor is the ovarian changes.

Some previous studies have suggested a link between gum disease treatment and the risk for premature birth in women, but now a US study discards any such link and finds that treatment of gum diseases does not reduce the risk of premature delivery in a woman.

Because of these earlier studies, different health care providers and insurers have been recommending pregnant women to undergo dental cleaning to decrease their risk for premature delivery.

In this study, 1800 those pregnant women were included who had some periodontal disease. The women were divided into two groups: One group was given periodontal treatment before the gestation of 23 weeks, while the other group wasn’t given any treatment.

The researchers didn’t find any significant difference in neonatal and obstetric outcomes of these two groups. The study will be presented at the annual meeting of the Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine, in San Diego.
