SEX AND HEALTH: SOME THINGS THAT CAN GO WRONG FOR WOMEN- HAIRINESS AND MONTHLY CHECK-UP


Western women spend millions of pounds and hours in removing hair they believe to be unsightly. Hair on the upper lip, on the limbs, around the nipples and up the abdomen and extensions of the pubic hair to the top of the thighs are all common but sometimes unwelcome. Men and women have about the same number of hairs – the real difference is in the type of hair at different locations and its visibility. Hairiness in women is occasionally the sign of the presence of disease but is mainly genetic in origin. Some men prefer hairy women and claim they are more sexy than others. Apart from electrolysis or periodic plucking of unwanted hairs, shaving is probably as good a solution as any for these women who are upset by the hair. Chemical depilatories are also very widely used. Indeed, female body hair removal is a

multi-million pound business.

Monthly check-up-Most women are understandably afraid of contracting breast cancer and it makes sense to detect a breast lump as early as possible so that it can be treated. It is best to feel your breasts for lumps regularly each month using the same routine a day or two after your period has stopped. Get to know how your breasts feel during other times of your menstrual cycle too and always report any suspicious lumps to your doctor. A delay could make treatment more difficult.

If you have an IUD pop a finger into your vagina each month the day your period stops to check that the tail of the device is still coming out of the cervix. If you can’t feel it, take other contraceptive precautions and see your doctor at once to have a new one put in if necessary.
