SEX AND HEALTH: SOME THINGS THAT CAN GO WRONG FOR WOMEN-PROLAPSE AND SMOKING
Prolapse-The womb can also fall down into the vagina and in some cases can appear at the opening of the vagina. There are several reasons for a prolapse. A few women have weak supports to the womb from their birth. Others have their natural support mechanisms severely weakened by childbirth, lifting heavy weights, or by repeated straining to pass hard bowel motions. There is a swelling and a sense of fullness in the vagina and the womb feels as though something is coming down inside. There are often urinary symptoms, backache, heavy periods or a discharge. If you have any of these in combination see your doctor at once.
Smoking-In addition to the well known risks of lung cancer and diseases of the blood vessels women smokers are said to be more hairy and more prone to cystic ovaries, infertility and ectopic pregnancy. Also, if pregnant, smoking and alcohol are known to endanger the child.
