What Causes Menstrual Cramps?
Posted by on
You may have painful menstrual cramps (dysmenorrhea) from time to time. Menstrual cramps can occur during or just before your period. The pain from these cramps can range from mild to severe. It can involve the lower belly, back, or thighs. You may also have headaches, nausea, dizziness, fainting, diarrhea, or constipation with your cramps.
During the menstrual cycle, the lining of the uterus produces a hormone called prostaglandin. This hormone causes the uterus to contract, often with pain. If you have severe cramps, you may be producing higher-than-normal amounts of prostaglandin. Or you may be more sensitive to its effects.

Best Supplements for Women Recommended by Dietitians
Posted by on
Phillips Pharmacy recommends talking to your doctor or pharmacist before taking a multivitamin to determine which supplement combinations might be best for you. There are certain vitamins that you may personally need more than others, especially depending on what stage of life you may be in. For example, women before and after menopause may need different things. e.g. If you are premenopausal, you may benefit from a multivitamin that contains higher amounts of iron.
How Your Diet and Other Factors Can Cause or Prevent Yeast Infections

While vaginal yeast infections are rarely serious, you can help prevent them from occurring in the first place. There's some evidence that sugar may help promote the growth of yeast. Yeast's affinity for sweets has prompted some experts to suggest that diet may be a risk factor for some women when it comes to developing yeast infections. In fact, some people follow a so-called yeast infection diet or candida diet (or anti-candida diet) on the theory that eliminating certain foods may eliminate or at least greatly reduce the risk of yeast overgrowth.
