If your doctor tells you that you have a complex ovarian mass, this means you have a growth on your ovary that has both cystic (fluid filled) and solid components on ultrasound. In most cases, this is an uncomfortable, but harmless condition. Rarely, this mass is cancerous. Of women who are tested for ovarian cancer, less than 1 in 1000 actually has cancer.Most cervical cases of cancer develop after a woman has been diagnosed with Human Papilloma Virus (HPV). Cervical and breast cancer is better detected during its early stages of development to avoid severe complications that especially arise if cancerous cells have already spread up to the heart or vagina's surface. Too much delay before treatment allows the cancer cells to spread to the entire body. If they do, then nothing much can really be done to save a patient's life because at this stage the cancer is said to be in the terminal phase.Some woman do not have normal ovaries, instead they have developed polycystic ovaries which are ovaries where the follicles do not disintegrate after ovulation.

In this aspect, it is important for one to be aware of the proper and improper ways of breastfeeding. Proper Breastfeeding methods1)During the first week of pregnancy, a woman must feed her baby at least 15 times in a day. This is because the mothers milk is the only source of nutrition for the baby. As a result, there is a need to frequently feed the baby. However, after the first week of the babys life, a woman need not feed her baby that frequent: six to eight feedings in a day is usually enough.2)Another trademark of proper breastfeeding is to feed the baby whenever the baby demands to be feed. This way, one will avoid the baby becoming hungry. One should not be conscious about the spacing of each feeding time; when pregnant, it is impossible to keep a routine. This is the reason why a mother must be prepared anytime to feed her baby.3)During each breastfeeding session, the breasts must feel...more
