Women’s Reproductive Health…
According to the Center for Disease control:
- About 5 percent of hysterectomies — 30,000 per year — are performed because of heavy bleeding. Some of these women probably have bleeding disorders that could have been controlled without surgery.
- Perimenopause is the time leading up to menopause when you start to notice menopause-related changes—plus the year after menopause. Perimenopause is what some people call “being in menopause” or “going through menopause.” But menopause itself is only one day—the day you haven’t had a period for 12 months in a row.
- A CDC study estimates that one in four (26 percent) young women between the ages of 14 and 19 in the United States (3.2 million teenage girls) is infected with at least one of the most common sexually transmitted diseases (human papillomavirus (HPV), chlamydia, herpes simplex virus, and trichomoniasis).
