Endometriosis in women can cause heavy bleeding or pain during periods, sexual activity, or urination. It can also cause problems with fertility. Those at a high risk of getting endometriosis include having periods that began before age 11, or having periods that are heavy or last longer than 7 days, or a history of short monthly cycles of fewer than 27 days. It affects many women. Worldwide, almost 10% of women of reproductive age have endometriosis. In very rare cases, it can occur in men. Endometriosis: 10 Medical Myths vs. Facts Let’s break down some facts and myths about endometriosis. 1. What is Endometriosis? Endometriosis is a chronic condition in which tissue similar to that usually lining the inside of the uterus grows outside the uterus, causing pain and other symptoms. 2. What are its common Symptoms? Pain : More than 60% of women with endometriosis have persistent pelvic pain. Abdominal cramps can occur during periods, sexual intercourse, while urinating, or having bowel m

How to reconnect with old friends who became strangers? Have you ever looked at your phone's contact list and realized there are people you used to be close with, but have lost touch with over time? It's a common experience, but one that can be fixed. Why Friends Become Strangers? Why We Need Social Connections We are fundamentally social beings who, by nature, enjoy and need to connect with others. Research shows strong social relationships are important for our mental well-being and happiness. In fact, having at least one person to rely on is one of the top predictors of life satisfaction around the world. Moreover, studies also show that emotional and instrumental support can reduce depression levels (Gariepy, 2016; Rueger, 2016; Santini, 2015). Yet, sometimes these connections fade, and old friends become strangers. Even in this well-connected world of today, we stop reaching out to others. The Hes

Mental Well-Being for the Busy Professional Woman of Today Professional women today have a busier life than even a decade back. Many admit it is difficult to do the "balancing act" of nurturing mental wellness, life satisfaction, and inner peace with meeting goals and fulfilling the demands of various relationships. What challenges do professional women face in balancing work and mental wellness? Professional women commonly grapple with a challenging mix of: high workplace demands, societal expectations, and family responsibilities. Balancing these while maintaining mental wellness often leads to stress, burnout, and decreased overall life-satisfaction. The situation is especially acute in environments, whether at work or home, that lack support for meaningful, responsibility-free breaks. How can improving mental health boost overall quality of life? Mental ill-health often shows up as poor concentration, low job performance, strained personal relationships, unable to feel ha

Google's AI outperforms doctors in diagnostic conversations. Google's experimental AI outperforms human doctors in diagnostic dialogue, showing superior accuracy in assessing lungs- and heart-related conditions. This new medical marvel is called   Articulate Medical Intelligence Explorer (AMIE) . Nature writes  in the headline,  "Google AI has better bedside manner than human doctors — and makes better diagnoses." So, what's AMIE's superpower? Picture a medical Sherlock Holmes with mountains of data at its fingertips. AMIE can quickly analyze all that data against the symptoms and suggest possibilities of the illness. AMIE successfully matched the performance of human doctors in simulated consultations, accurately diagnosing respiratory and cardiovascular conditions. AMIE also showed strong performance in empathy and rapport building, suggesting its potential to complement and enhance doctor-patient interactions.  However, we would prefer the human touch becau

Adenomyosis is a common, but poorly understood condition that affects women of all age groups. It is  a common cause of dysmenorrhea, menorrhagia, and chronic pelvic pain but is often underdiagnosed. Typically, because adenomyosis is confined to the uterus, diagnosis and management can be managed by an OB/GYN. Signs & symptoms Adenomyosis is  defined as the presence of ectopic nests of endometrial glands and stroma within the myometrium, surrounded by reactive smooth muscle hyperplasia. Patients with adenomyosis commonly report the following symptoms: Menorrhagia Dysmenorrhea Metrorrhagia Chronic pelvic pain Dyspareunia On physical examination, a diffusely enlarged, tender, “boggy” uterus is suggestive of adenomyosis. Diagnosis A diffusely enlarged, tender, “boggy” uterus is suggestive of adenomyosis. Alternatively, severe endometriosis often presents as a fixed, tender uterus, with palpable nodules within the posterior cul-de-sac and/or lining the uterosacral ligaments and rectov

Key Points: Over 5,000 Americans have died from long-COVID , according to new CDC estimates. Long-COVID can contribute to serious, life-threatening conditions even months or years after an initial infection. The risk of fatal long COVID is higher for older adults, certain races and ethnicities, and those with severe acute infections. Undercounting is likely due to a lack of standardized diagnosis and reporting guidelines. An accurate test for long-COVID could dramatically improve fatality tracking and treatment. Pic source:  Post-COVID (Long Covid) Resources | Northampton, MA Details: While COVID-19 deaths alone exceed 1 million in the US, long COVID claims additional lives. Long COVID, with its debilitating symptoms and lack of diagnosis or treatment, is increasingly recognized as a public health threat. COVID-19 was the third leading cause of American deaths in 2020 and 2021, and the fourth leading cause of death in the United States in 2023. Half of long COVID fatalit
