What are the different types of treatment for cervical cancer other than hysterectomy? Let say if a person does not wish to have surgery, is there an alternative treatment just as effective as hysterectomy?
Ask by anonymous
Response by Tmastery
There are different types of treatment for different stages of cervical cancer. Early stage of cervical cancer can be treated with loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP), cryotherapy or laser therapy. LEEP involve the use of electricity to destroy abnormal tissue, cryotherapy involves freezing abnormal cells, and laser therapy uses light to destroy abnormal tissues.
Most of the time advanced stage of cervical cancer is treated with hysterectomy because the cancer has spread to surrounding tissues. This type of treatment involves surgery and depending on how far the cancer has advanced, the operation performed may involve removing the uterus, the cervix, and the upper part of the vagina.

Breast cancer treatments?
How is breast cancer treated? What are some of the treatments for breast cancer and what is the best treatment available today for treating this disease?
Ask by anonymous
Response by Tmastery
Before any treatments can begin, doctors will have to perform diagnosis to be certain the cancer is present. Some of the tests performed by doctor may include mammography and ultrasound. If cancer is detected in the breast tissues, further testing is required to determine the stages of the cancer. Breast cancer treatments may include chemotherapy, hormonal therapy, radiation therapy, targeted therapy and surgery.
The types of treatment used depend on the stages of the cancer. Early stage of cancer can be treated with surgery alone or it may involve a combination of treatments such as chemotherapy after surgery. Cancer that has progressed to later stage always involves a combination of treatments to treat the disease that may have spread to other part of the body.

Teen breast cancer!
Is it common for teenager to get breast cancer? I am 15 and I discovered a lump on my breast yesterday in the shower and I like to know if this is breast cancer?
Ask by anonymous
Response by Tmastery
Usually women over the age of 55 have higher risk of getting breast cancer. It is uncommon for teen to get breast cancer at young age but again anything is possible. You have higher risk of breast cancer if you have family history of this disease. Breast lump can be cancerous or non-cancerous, normally breast lump start out as non-cancerous and if left untreated can developed into breast cancer. The best option to do right now is talk to your doctor and gets further diagnosis whether the lump is cancerous or non-cancerous. Early detection of lump is the best method for treating and preventing breast cancer.

What is menopause?
I like to know what is menopause? Is this something that I have to worry about at young age affecting my sex drive and mood swing? Is this also going to prevent me from having baby?
Ask by anonymous
Response by Tmastery
In general, menopause is a result of hormonal change where a woman stops ovulating. This usually occurs for women between the ages of 40s and 50s, but this can also occur to women in the early thirties or late sixties. There are many symptoms associated with menopause and some of which include low sex drive, mood swing, hot flashes, night sweats, and insomnia. When a woman stop ovulating during menopause means she is no longer having periods and she can never get pregnant or bear child. If you are still young in your 20s, this is not something that you should worry about at the moment.

So many types of birth control pill!
I am confused with so many types of birth control pill. What is the difference between estrogen, progestin and monophasic pill?
Ask by anonymous

You may be confused with so many types of birth control pill because you may be looking at so many different brands. In general, estrogen and progestin pill are classified into monophasic, biphasic, or triphasic. Monophasic pill contain the same amount of estrogen and progestin in each active pill so it deliver constant dosages throughout the cycle. Biphasic pill contain different amount of estrogen and progestin in each active pill and it works by delivering fluctuates dosages during the cycle. Triphasic pill contain either the same or different amount of estrogen and different amount of progestin in each active pill. You need a prescription to use birth control pill so the first step is to consult with a gynecologist.

Bladder infection and kidney infection!
Is bladder infection and kidney infection the same as urinary tract infection? What causes the infection and what are the symptoms between these two infections?
Ask by anonymous
Response by Tmastery
There are different types of infection associated with urinary tract infection and these include urethritis, cystitis (bladder infection), and pyelonephritis (kidney infection). The infection is caused by bacteria that enter into the urethral opening and initially infecting the urethra (urethritis). Bacteria from the urethra can travel to the bladder causing bladder infection and it can also travel to the kidney through the ureters causing kidney infection. The symptoms of bladder infection may include cloudy or reddish discharge and frequent need to urinate. The symptoms of kidney infection may include high fever, nausea, and vomiting.

Hormone replacement therapy for menopause!
What are the best forms of hormone replacement therapy for treating menopause with the least possible side effects? I understand if I had hysterectomy, I don’t need to take progesterone, is this right?
Ask by anonymous
Response by Tmastery
There are various forms of hormone replacement therapy that are available depending on individual’s medical history and method of delivery best suitable for each individual. The various forms of HRT include pills, skin patches, skin gel, vaginal cream and vaginal ring. In most cases, you would need to try more than one form in order to find the one that works best for you and your doctor can help you in making the selection that best suitable for you.
If you had hysterectomy, most doctors would not include progesterone in HRT. The main purpose of progesterone in HRT is the counter balance effects that help to reduce the risk of endometrial cancer for women with intact uterus. After hysterectomy, the woman’s uterus is removed and she doesn’t have to worry about endometrial cancer when being treated with estrogen alone without progesterone. Progesterone also causes side effects in woman such as breast tenderness, water retention, and mood swings and because of this most doctors do not include progesterone in HRT for women who had hysterectomy.
