Breast Health
Due to incredible awareness on the part of the American Cancer Society the first thing we think about when we discuss breast health is breast cancer. If health and disease are on a sliding scale and health is at one end and disease is at the other, we have an entire scale to slide down until we reach the diseased state.

Abnormal Pap Test
The pap screening test was implemented into the medical system in 1960, after studies done in the 1950’s by George Papanicolaou who suggested that cervical cancer rates could be reduced by half with cervical samples taken during a woman’s annual exam and ultimately promote the health of women for years to come.

Endometriosis
Endometriosis is associated with abdominal cramping, extremely painful periods and a dread of menstruating. Caused by a hormonal imbalance, endometrial tissue can escape from within the uterus and place itself along the abdominal cavity, the bowel wall, and the ovaries. When a woman cycles this tissue responds to the cycle, spasming and cramping wherever it is placed along the abdominal cavity.

Uterine Fibroids
Fibroids are a growth within the uterine wall. Many women have them, some are big, some are small, some grow very quickly and some very slowly. The cause of fibroids is a hormonal imbalance, specifically, too much estrogen in relation to progesterone. The excess estrogen needs a place to go so the body deposits it safely in the wall of the uterus.
