Why are all the questions in "Women's Health" related to sexual functions?

Yet, women are always complaining that "all men think about is sex"? Here is women’s health, no one is discussing about obesity or cancer, which are two of the most dangerous things to women’s health.

Women will get sun tan and eat until they are fat, then they will blame men for "just wanting sex" and yet all the women here are asking about birth control and their periods???

Post-transplant Lymphoma?

A friend from high school was apparently only born with one kidney and at age 20 he was diagnosed with kidney failure. Within a year, he received a kidney transplant from his father and was put on anti-rejection drugs.

We’re now both 22 and he called me the other day saying he had lymphoma (which I believe would have been caused by his immuno-suppressing drugs) and was starting chemotherapy.

I am a senior, majoring in biomedical engineering, so I have some medical and biological background, but I was wondering if anyone knew of someone this young (late teens to early twenties) having kidney failure and developing cancer from it? Is this rare, or not?

I was also wondering about the mortality rate of post-transplant lymphoma disease, and what sorts of chemotherapies people go through with it?

Thanks for any information. I don’t want to bombard him with questions like this :/

What negative health effects does drinking diet soda have on your body?

I drink a lot of Diet Pepsi every day. At least 3 – 4 cans. I know it may be linked to cancer, but I was wondering if it could be preventing me from loosing weight, or deteriorating muscle tone, etc.

I can’t seem to loose any weight although I eat healthy and excercise a few times a week. I’m 5’8 and weigh 130.

Does anyone know what Bisophenol A is?

It is the toxic lining found in canned foods and items in plastic bottles like water. At about 2-4 sips of these products you are sitting at a 57% toxic level and the govt knows about it causing cancer. The products are mostly marketed to little children and women.
