Women’s Health and Cancer Awareness

Women's health has been a long concern but nowadays it has reached a supreme point of concern. Generally men and women share comparative health challenges; only dissimilarity is that the health of women merits specific consideration. Women have interesting health related issues like pregnancy, menopause, and conditions of the female organs. There are processes, for example, labor and pregnancy that convey wellbeing dangers and are the main source of death in young women’s somewhere in the range of 15 and 19 years of age. The leading cause of death among women of reproductive age is HIV/AIDS which is due to biological factors and limitation of women’s knowledge about HIV and unsafe sex. Lack of contraception results in unwanted pregnancies, unsafe abortions, sexually transmitted infections, etc.

Depression and anxiety might seem pretty distinct, for the most part. Mental disorders can affect women and men differently. Some disorders are more common in women such as depression and anxiety. There are also certain types of disorders that are unique to women. For example, some women may experience symptoms of mental disorders at times of hormone change, such as perinatal depression, premenstrual dysphoric disorder, and perimenopause-related depression. When it comes to other mental disorders such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, research has not found differences in the rates at which men and women experience these illnesses.

• Persistent sadness or feelings of hopelessness
• Misuse of alcohol and/or drugs
• Dramatic changes in eating or sleeping habits
• Appetite and/or weight changes
• Decreased energy or fatigue
• Excessive fear or worry
• Seeing or hearing things that are not there
• Extremely high and low moods
• Aches, headaches, or digestive problems without a clear cause
• Irritability
• Social withdrawal
• Suicidal thoughts

Nutrition. Eating a nutritious diet during pregnancy is linked to good brain development and a healthy birth weight, and can reduce the risk of many birth defects. A balanced diet will also reduce the risks of anemia, as well as other unpleasant pregnancy symptoms such as fatigue and morning sickness. It's always important to eat a balanced diet  and it's even more important when you're pregnant because what you eat is the main source of nutrients for your baby. However, many women don't get enough iron, folate, calcium, vitamin D, or protein.

Adolescent and Maternal Health behaviours are set up as a young person and go on to do something for the lifestyles of adult’s leads to the chronic health problems. Young people have particular health problems and enlargement needs that differ from those of children or adults. These causes of ill-health in adolescents are mainly psychosocial rather than biological. Young people often grab in health risk behaviours that give back the processes of adolescent development, observation and exploration, including drugs and alcohol, sexual behaviour, and other risk factors that affect their physical and mental health.

• Early pregnancy and childbirth
• Alcohol and other drugs

Reproductive endocrinology and infertility is a medical procedure scope of obstetrics and gynaecology that trains doctors in reproductive medicine inscribe hormonal functioning as it examine to the reproduction as well as the matter of infertility. While most REI experts focus on the therapy of infertility, reproductive endocrinologists are instructed to also test and treat hormonal dysfunctions in females and males outside infertility.

Reproductive cancers are cancers that occur in the reproductive organs. These are cancers in the breast, cervix, uterus, vulva, endometrium or ovaries.When cancer starts in a woman's reproductive organs, it is called gynecologic cancer. The five main types of gynecologic cancer are: cervical, ovarian, uterine, vaginal, and vulvar. (A sixth type of gynecologic cancer is the very rare fallopian tube cancer.)

• Cervical cancer 
• Ovarian cancer  
• Womb cancer
• Vaginal cancer

Women's health refers to the branch of medicine that focuses on the treatment and diagnosis of diseases and conditions that affect a woman's physical and emotional well-being. Nursing Education,   Healthcare and Nursing Management,  Clinical Nursing, Cardiovascular Nursing, Critical Care and Emergency Nursing, Risk Factors in Nursing and Healthcare Professionals, Nutrition and Health The reproductive health of the women is ignored which leads to ovarian cancer, breast cancer, uterine cancer and cervical cancer. Before conceiving or planning for a baby, the health conditions of the mother and the financial condition of the family should be assessed and are additionally prescribed a few tests for breast disease, cervical cancer, and bone thickness screenings.

Diabetes during pregnancy—including type 1, type 2, or gestational diabetes—can negatively affect the health of women and their babies. For women with type 1 or type 2 diabetes, high blood sugar around the time of conception increases babies' risk of birth defects, stillbirth, and preterm birth.

Diabetes that is not well controlled causes the baby's blood sugar to be high. The baby is “overfed” and grows extra large. Besides causing discomfort to the woman during the last few months of pregnancy, an extra large baby can lead to problems during delivery for both the mother and the baby.

Healths problems occur in the mother’s body because of pregnancy are called as complications in pregnancy.Complications that are health. These complications be sub-divided into many sections and some complications are common in every expecting mother According to the statistics it is found that 90% of the females in pregnancy other stages have experienced complications.Women who are suffering from medical complications like HIV, urinary tract infections, ectopic pregnancies should go for immunization.  This chart provides an overview of infections that can be harmful during pregnancy. Some easy steps, such as hand washing, practicing safe sex, and avoiding certain foods, can help protect you from some infections.

An obstetrician provides care during pregnancy and delivers babies. A gynecologist doesn't treat people who are pregnant or deliver babies, but specializes in the female reproductive system. It's common for healthcare providers to combine these two areas of medicine. This is called obstetrics and gynecology.

When a woman carries more than one baby in the womb then it is known as multiple pregnancies. one or more than one egg is released during the menstrual cycle, and each one is fertilized by a sperm then it will be the cause of multiple pregnancy. This is because more women older than 35 years are having babies and Increment has been seen in multiple pregnancies. Women who belong to the age group of 35 are at high risk of having twins. There is the other reason for the increase is that more women are undergoing fertility treatments to become pregnant. These fertility treatments increase the risk of multiple pregnancies. A multiple pregnancy can affect the health mother and child.

The most natural thing every woman experiences after a certain age in her life and it can occur between the ages of 42 and 56 but almost 51. In this period the ovaries stop producing eggs and level of oestrogen will decline.  The symptoms of premature menopause are women undergoing natural menopause. More studies are needed to understand the onset of menopause for non-Caucasian women. There are many factors that help determine when you’ll begin menopause, including genetics and ovary health. Perimenopause is before menopause.  Many women begin perimenopause other women skip perimenopause and enter menopause suddenly. About 1 percent of women begin menopause before the age of 40, which is called premature menopause or primary ovarian insufficiency.

Pediatric Gynecology deals with the health of the vagina, vulva, uterus, and ovaries of infants, children, and adolescents. Examination of the external genitalia should be done by gently moving the labia minor to either side, or gently moving them towards the anterior (front) side of the body to expose the vaginal introitus. Routine physical examinations by a pediatrician typically include a visual examination of breasts and vulva; more extensive examinations may be performed by a pediatrician in response to a specific complaint.

There are more than 300 types of cancer, including Breast cancer, cervical cancer, lung cancer, rectal cancer, Prostate cancer, and lymphoma. "Signs and Identification differs liable on the type of Cancer." Some people with cancer will have particular treatment. But most people have a synthesis of treatments, such as surgery with chemotherapy and/or acupuncture therapy. The Anticancer therapies include Palliative therapy, Immunotherapy, Hormonal therapy, Radiotherapy, Nutritional therapy, Phototherapy, Surgical therapy, Chemotherapy, Adjuvant therapy, Neoadjuvant therapy. Phototherapy is the most progressive among all the therapies. All Anticancer agents act by disturbing cell multiplication or normal functioning, DNA synthesis and by blocking or changing RNA and protein metabolite. Various therapies has been followed by the introduction of the new drug by clinical trials results, or by passing the cell under some radiations or radioactive waves or by taking some sort of medicine or considering with the alteration in the genetic material or by some sort of particular organ transplant.

Cancer can occur anywhere in the body. The most common spots of cancer among men include prostate, lung, colon, stomach, rectum and liver. And those for among women are breast, colon, rectum, stomach, cervix and lung. Cancers are habitually described by the body part that they devised in. However, some body parts contain multiple types of tissue, so for greater precision, cancers can additionally be classified by the type of cell that the tumour cells originated from. The type of cancer a person has needed to be known properly as different types of cancer can behave very differently and respond to different treatments.

• Breast Cancer
• Gastrointestinal Cancer
• Gynaecologic Cancers -Cervical Cancer
• Uterus Cancer
• Ovarian Cancer

Cancer prevention is well-defined as active methods to reduction the risk of cancer. Most of cancer cases are due to environmental risk factors, and many, but not all, of these environmental factors are controllable lifestyle choices. An entity's risk of increasing cancer can be significantly reduced by healthy behaviour. Cancer Prevention Research embraces preclinical, clinical and translational research, with special attention given to molecular detection and an emphasis on building a translational bridge between the basic and clinical sciences.

Cancer Science is a therapeutic field that covers every subdivision of cancer research and therapy. Cancer was reflected as deadly disease few years ago, but now the progress has changed thanks to developments made in the cancer field. There are various therapies available now to treat and diagnose cancer. The Targeted Cancer Therapy is one of the best therapies available, in which the cancer cells are treated by targeting and inhibiting specific molecules that are responsible for tumour progression. This blocking can be done by medicine. The Cancer Case Reports shows that Stem Cell Therapy is also a productive treatment for cancer. Cancer biomarkers help in finding tumour cells and treating them. Tumour Immunology plays a vital role in finding the new approaches for cancer therapeutics. Cancer Conferences demonstrate its effort to jettison cancer from the world.

The branch of Oncology dealing with Radiation therapy is defined as Radiation Oncology. Radiation oncology is a medical field that involves the organized use of radiation to treat cancer either for treatment or to reduce pain and signs caused by cancer. Radiation Oncology encompasses all aspects of research that impacts on the diagnosis of cancer using radiation. Radiation can be given as a curative modality, in combination with surgery or chemotherapy. The Radiation therapy is broadly segmented into Tele Radiotherapy, Brachy-radiotherapy and Metabolic Radiotherapy. There are three unique Radiology expert professions which are involved in exercise of radiation oncology 1. Radiation Oncologists 2. Radiation Therapists 3. Radiation Oncology Medical Physicists. These highly qualified medical consultants who use advanced tools on Cancer patients to deliver safe and effective radiation therapy with few side effects as possible.

Research in cancer cell biology seeks to define the biological basis underlying the differences between normal cells and cancer cells and to elucidate basic mechanisms that drive the development and behavior of tumors. Cancer is caused when cells within the body accumulate genetic mutations and start to grow in an uncontrolled manner. Understanding how cancer develops and progresses, including how gene mutations drive the growth and spread of cancer cells, and how tumours interact with their surrounding environment, is vital for the discovery of new targeted cancer treatments.

• Adverse effects
• Limitations
• Cancer Therapeutics, Novel and experimental approaches

Cancer can be cured by different methods. The choice of therapy depends upon the location and mark of the tumour and the stage of the disease, as well as the overall state of the patient. Many experimental cancer treatments are also below development. Some people with tumors will have only one treatment. But most people have a group of treatments, such as surgery with chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy.
