There is some evidence suggesting a potential connection between hormonal birth control and an increased risk of human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. HPV is a sexually transmitted infection that can lead to various health issues, including cervical cancer. However, it's important to note that research findings are not entirely consistent, and more studies are needed to establish a definitive link. Some studies have suggested that hormonal contraceptives, such as birth control pills, may influence the risk of HPV infection. The hormonal changes caused by these contraceptives could potentially affect the immune system's response to infections, including HPV. It's worth noting that the relationship between hormonal contraceptives and HPV is complex, and other factors such as sexual behavior, number of sexual partners, and age at first sexual intercourse can also contribute to HPV risk. It's essential for individuals using hormonal birth control to be aware of their over...

Introduction: Colorectal cancer, a malignancy affecting the colon or rectum, is one of the most prevalent types of cancer globally. However, early detection and improved treatments have significantly increased survival rates. This article aims to raise awareness about colorectal cancer, its risk factors, methods of prevention, and available treatment options. Understanding Colorectal Cancer: Colorectal cancer develops when abnormal growths, called polyps, form in the lining of the colon or rectum. Over time, some polyps can turn cancerous, making regular screening and early intervention crucial. Risk Factors: Several risk factors contribute to the development of colorectal cancer, including age, family history, inflammatory bowel diseases, and a sedentary lifestyle. Genetic factors also play a role, and certain hereditary conditions can increase the likelihood of developing this cancer. Symptoms: Common symptoms of colorectal cancer include persistent changes in bowel habits, blood in...

Cancer cases are increasing rapidly in the country in the last few years. The increasing number of cancer patients is a matter of concern because this disease can happen to any person of any age. Many people think that eating tobacco causes cancer. Although there is no doubt that tobacco is a major cause of cancer, but people who do not consume cigarette, tobacco, gutkha also suffer from cancer. Apart from this, young children are also fighting with diseases like cancer.There are many other causes of cancer as well. It is very important for people to know about these reasons. Dr. Rajinder Kaur Saggu, Surgical Oncologist, Apollo Spectra Hospital, Karol Bagh, Delhi, says that cancer begins when some cells in our body start growing uncontrollably. Growing uncontrollably, these cells are so powerful that they infiltrate the normal tissues of the body and destroy them. Once cancer occurs , it can spread throughout the body. You must know how deadly cancer is. Cancer is the second biggest ca...

Biparietal diameter and head circumference are commonly used for assessing fetal age and growth and may also be useful to identify some cerebral anomalies. They may be measured either in the transventricular plane or in the transthalamic plane. Different techniques can be used for measuring the biparietal diameter.Fetal central nervous system (CNS) abnormalities are second only to cardiac malformations in their frequency of occurrence. Early and accurate diagnosis at prenatal US is therefore essential, allowing improved prenatal counseling and facilitating appropriate referral. Thorough knowledge of normal intracranial anatomy and adoption of a logical sonographic approach can improve depiction of abnormal findings, leading to a more accurate differential diagnosis earlier in pregnancy. Four standard recommended views—transventricular, falx, cavum, and posterior fossa or transcerebellar views—provide an overview of fetal intracranial anatomy during the second trimester anatomy scan.
