Dr. Becky’s 5 Things
5 Things the Doc thinks every woman should know.
1. IT’S COOL TO BE A VIRGIN
Don’t think you are from another planet just because you are still a virgin at 35! You can prevent sexually transmitted diseases which includes cervical cancer and unwanted pregnancies.
2. IF YOU ARE SEXUALLY ACTIVE AND DON’T DESIRE A BABY, USE A CONTRACEPTIVE!
In this day and age and access to information, having unexpected, or worse, unwanted pregnancies should be a thing of the past.
3. IF YOU HAVE IRREGULAR MENSES OR SKIP MENSES FOR WEEKS OR MONTHS, SEE YOUR GYNECOLOGIST
It may be the first sign of a tumor or a condition which can predispose you to cancer.
4. HORMONE REPLACEMENT THERAPY
When you are approaching menopause, hormone replacement therapy can prevent a lot of the horrid symptoms that menopausal women go through. Your chances of getting a heart attack because you are not on hormones in menopause is far higher than your chances to ever get breast cancer because you are not on it!!
5. SEE YOUR GYNECOLOGIST ONCE A YEAR ON YOUR BIRTHDAY
It’s your gift of health to yourself!! You owe it to you!!
