HAVE YOU CHECKED YOUR UTERUS LATELY?

A s you grow older you become more and more responsible for your well-being. When I was a child, my mother ensured I attended all my hospital appointments, examinations, etc. Being grown up sure has its troubles. The first time i heard the word "fibroid" was from a friend. We were seventeen then, and we were told that this was a condition suffered by women in their thirties and above. Big relief for me then, thirty was far away. It is very like me to be unconcerned about an ailment until it happens to someone close to home, then my hunger for knowledge comes. 

FOR THE LADIES: HAVE YOU HEARD ABOUT A MENSTRUAL CUP?

I got back home and did some more research on menstrual cups. What is a menstrual cup?
