This week we’re kicking things off with a post from our friends at Women’s Health that talks about some of the ways the healthcare system has impacted women. It’s been a while since we’ve had a chance to talk about that topic, but it’s something we’re always looking to talk about.
Of course, the most significant change is that the most critical health issues affecting women have been largely left untreated. Some examples include: cervical cancer, ovarian cancer, breast cancer, ovarian cancer, colorectal cancer, and so on.
In the past, women’s health was really dominated by politics and the economy. Now, a more holistic approach has taken over. What’s interesting is that the number of women being diagnosed with a cancer or having a mastectomy has gone way up over the last few years.
I love this quote from the article “Why Women’s Health Matters.” The author states, “Most of the diseases that plague women are directly related to lifestyle,” which is great to hear. However, when she states, “For the vast majority of women, the disease of a breast does not even seem to be a problem,” this makes me think that some women are in denial about their health problems.
Actually I just realized that I’ve been pretty much ignoring the fact that the CDC is only now starting to track the actual numbers of women with breast cancer. Also, I am pretty sure the number of female breast cancer deaths has not increased at all, but the number of women who are diagnosed has. Still, these are good stats that help build awareness of the disease.
Breast cancer is a disease that comes from a chemical imbalance and is not a genetic disease. If you are one of the women who seems to have been a bit foggy about the disease, I recommend seeing a doctor about an early screening mammogram.

If you are one of the women who seems to have been a bit foggy about the disease, I recommend seeing a doctor about an early screening mammogram. This is because breast cancer does not spread like a bad flu virus. It is a slow, but insidious, disease that can affect a woman’s entire body.
Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in women. It affects 1 in 9 women over the course of their lives. It can also affect men, although it is rare.
The disease is caused by a mutation, which is the same thing as an inherited mutation but in reverse. A mutation is the change in DNA that causes a person to have a disease. Many different mutations are known and are caused by a variety of things. Most mutations cause the cells to grow abnormally. For example, the mutation that causes the cells to grow abnormally would be called a cancer, but mammary cancer doesn’t cause any cellular growth.
The more you know about womens health, the more you can understand the impact.
