The pap smear is one of the best test for finding cellular abnormalities and reduces the risk . But it is not the only test since there are test to identify the presence of virus even before there is any cell abnormalities.Hence pap test along with HPV test gives a 100% sensitivity. Hence please mention about the other test also.The HPV test is approved by US FDA and it helps the patient to be followed and the cervical cancer can be cured completely if identified in the earlier stages.

Read my collection of stimulating sex facts on Girls and women – White teenage girls who live with single mothers are 60% more likely to have sex before the age of 18 than those who live with both parents. Australian girls are more likely to have sex on the first date. Girls who have gone to college are more likely to enjoy oral sex than high school dropouts. Women who read romance novels have sex twice as often as those who don’t. 70% of women who smoke have had more than 4 lovers in a year while 60% of female non-smokers had none. Women who have spent a night in jail are almost 50% more likely to have had more than 10 lovers in the past year than women with no criminal record. Apparently Latino women have sex more often than either Blacks or Whites. Women who lost their virginity before their 18th birthday are likely to be twice as sexually active as women who don’t. Black women are 50% more likely than White women to have orgasm every time they have sex.

That alleged study regarding fellatio was a hoax!!!! It is a shame to see this put on a medical website.

You have presented Good Data. It would have been more informative if we had some cost estimate range for India, inrespect of some typical diseases.

Very interesting facts indeed. Prostate cancer is very common in men and is second most cancer in men after lung cancer. Howeever it does not necessary lethal in most men as most of the time it is slow growing. The word cancer always incites fear. but amoong all cancer I would rather have prostate cancer than lung or stomach cancer. Some skin cancers also do not spread (eg basla cell cancer); so before getting worried one should always check the fact sheet on the cancer.

I am highly intrigued by the last fact on this topic of breast cancer - A study from North Carolina State University indicated that Women who performed the act of fellatio and swallow semen regularly (one to two times a week) may reduce their risk of breast cancer by up to 40 percent!! Has any other study proved this, does this mean women should swallow sperms during oral sex and women should regularly indulge in this practice.

To survive an attack of heart attack remember that the first hour after the attack is the most critical. If nothing else atleast pop in a couple of aspirins while waiting for treatment, but seek medical professional help as soon as you can. People suffering a heart attack should always receive immediate professional emergency medical intervention.
