When a hysterectomy takes place it is important that the vagina is reattached to what is called the uterosacral-cardinal ligament complex. Despite this, some women may experience what is called a vaginal vault prolapse following their hysterectomy. Vaginal vault prolapse following hysterectomy is more common in women who have had children naturally because their pelvic floor muscles are weaker from the birth process, this is also the reason why women who have given birth naturally are more likely to suffer other types of prolapse as well. It is thought that up to 40% of such women could be affected.

My positive hysterectomy experience – Veronica’s story
The post My positive hysterectomy experience – Veronica’s story appeared first on Hysterectomy Association.
I have suffered with horrendous menstrual bleeding due to a huge fibroid over the past seven years. I researched fibroid problems and was gladdened by the fact that they shrink during the menopause. As I grew older, heading towards 56 my very heavy periods showed no signs of stopping. The bleeding became heavier as each month went by and my stomach would swell making me look pregnant.
In February this year my stomach swelled as usual but my period did not start. Menopause could be starting? The fibroid go...

NCI Is Seeking Mesothelioma Patients for New Clinical Trial
Patients with malignant mesothelioma can participate in an unprecedented clinical trial sponsored by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) that involves matching tumor-related
genetic mutations with specific drugs that target the corresponding abnormality.
The clinical trial has the potential to change cancer treatment in the future, allowing
doctors to prescribe drugs based on the molecular cause of the cancer, not the origin or source of the cancer. It could enhance the potential for treatment
success.
"It is a unique, groundbreaking trial," said NCI Acting Director Dr. Doug Lowy, when he announc...

Minimally invasive surgery helps Rhode Island boy get back to being a kid
For Jonathan Reed, summer fun goes way beyond wave riding along New England beaches. During a recent weeklong family vacation to Universal Studios in Florida, the Rhode Island fourth-grader visited wave pools at a water park, rode gravity-defying roller coasters and sprinted from one fun-filled attraction to the next.
This dream vacation may not have been as magical if Jonathan had to continually battle ongoing stomach pain.
For nearly a year and a half, the young lacrosse goalie and avid soccer player battled sporadic and excruciating abdominal pain. These attacks were sharp, swift and appeared to be sparked when on vaca...

Understanding Stress Incontinence
Stress incontinence is one of the most common forms of incontinence and it’s estimated that three million people in the UK are affected although this number may be conservative because some won’t mention it to their doctors. It also becomes more common in women as they age and go through the menopause. Estimates suggest that 1 in 5 women over 40 may suffer some degree of stress incontinence.
As we eat and drink the kidneys produce urine which passes through the ureter tubes to the bladder. The amount we eat and drink influences the amount of urine that is made. As the bladder fills with urine it swells until we feel a ...

Link Between Smoking And Worse Urothelial Cancer Prognosis, Especially For Women
Smoking significantly increases individuals' risk of developing serious forms of urothelial carcinoma and a higher likelihood of dying from the disease, particularly for women. That is the conclusion of a recent study published in BJU International. While the biological mechanisms underlying this gender difference are unknown, the findings indicate that clinicians and society in general should focus on smoking prevention and cessation to safeguard against deadly cancers of the bladder, ureters, and renal pelvis, especially in females...
