This week we take a look at several women's health issues from why women, in particular, should not smoke to what to do with your left over holiday turkey. Have a healthy week! Tracee

Smoking Warning For Women
We all have heard the warnings - cigarettes can cause cancer and increase our risk of heart disease. But the sad fact is that approximately 23 million women in the US (23 percent of the female population) still smoke cigarettes. Smoking is the most preventable cause of death in this country, yet more than 140,000 women die each year from smoking related causes.

Healthy Ways To Spice Up Your Diet
Healthy food doesn't mean flavorless food. You don't have to give up flavor when you start eating more healthy foods. In fact, when you start using these spices and other new spices you discover, you won't miss the high salt content of food that you are accustomed to eating.

This week we talk about the connection between hormones and headaches. We also take a look at some of the Top 10s about your health issues. And, as always, we have reader stories to share.

Have a healthy week! Tracee


Mirgraines: The Role Hormones Play
Your head is throbbing severely, probably only on one side. Any light or sound only makes it worse, and you may be feeling nauseated. The excruciating pain is almost unbearable. The slightest movement only intensifies the pain. Maybe you are having visual symptoms such as flashing lights or an aura, as well. You are having a migraine headache.

Lupron Depot -Facts, Benefits, Side Effects
Side effects that have been associated with the use of Lupron Depot frequently include hot flashes and night sweats, and less frequently palpitations, syncope, and tachycardias. Other side effects include generalized pain, headaches, vaginitis, nausea/vomiting, fluid retention, weight gain, acne, hirsutism, joint pain, loss of sexual desire, depression, dizziness, nervousness, and breast changes such as tenderness and pain.

Headaches Just One Side Efffect Of The Pill
While the majority of girls and women who use the birth control pill experience no side effects, some women experience side effects that include the potential for headaches. Find out what other side effects The Pill may cause.

Lexapro Side Effects
While Lexapro is a great antidepressant, it can cause a number of not-so-great side effects. Read about the side effects of Lexapro and then read what others say about how this drug affects them. (Scroll down the page to see the comments that have been left.)

From Tracee Cornforth, your Guide to Women's Health
This week we're discussing common medical tests, procedures, and surgery. Read this articles now so you'll be prepared when your doctor recommends that you have one of these. Have a healthy week! Tracee

Colposcopy
Because the Pap smear can only screen for potential problems, not diagnose them, your gynecologist may want to take a closer look at your cervix to determine the cause of your abnormal Pap smear results. He will perform an examination called a colposcopy.

Cryosurgery Of The Cervix
Cervical cryosurgery or cryotherapy is a gynecological treatment that freezes a section of the cervix. Cryosurgery of the cervix is most often done to destroy abnormal cervical cells that show changes that may lead to cancer. These changes are called precancerous cells.

LEEP Procedure
If your doctor has told you that you need to have a LEEP procedure, it's because your annual Pap smear indicated the presence of abnormal cervical cells, or cervical dysplasia. The LEEP procedure is one of several procedures your doctor has available to help diagnose and treat abnormal cervical cells.

Laparoscopy
Laparoscopy is a minimally invasive surgical technique used in procedures such as tubal ligation, gallbladder removal or hiatal hernia repair. It is normally performed in the outpatient surgery unit of a hospital. In most cases, patients can return home a few hours after a laproscopic procedure.
