| VASECTOMY, A SIMPLE AND SAFE SURGERY |
|
|
To prevent unwanted pregnancies, women turn to surgery for sterilization. In recent years, men have also felt that need and it is common that they get a vasectomy. A vasectomy is a procedure to sterilize a man. Therefore, it makes it impossible to impregnate a woman. During this procedure, both sperm ducts are cut, so sperm can’t exit the body. The doctor will reach the sperm ducts through an incision or small opening in the scrotum. |

| DEALING WITH HORMONAL CHANGES DURING MENOPAUSE |
|
|
Hormonal changes during menopause are inevitable. Although all women experience this, each woman reacts differently. They experience emotional or mood changes.
Menopause is the period which ends a woman’s reproductive stage. Menopause starts when menstruation stops. With time, the ovaries gradually lose their ability to produce estrogen and progesterone, which are the hormones that regulate the menstrual cycle. Since estrogen production decreases, ovulation and menstruation decrease and eventually stop.
