Study Notes

Sexual Health Issues

Infertility is the inability to have children, affecting both men and women and impacting their sexual relationship.
Heredity, genetics, and diseases of the adrenal gland can contribute to infertility.
Reproductive system diseases such as breast, cervical, and testicular cancer are not curable but preventable.
Other sexual health issues include early pregnancy in teenagers, birth control, sexual dysfunction, and gynecologic disorders like premenstrual syndrome and vaginal inflammation.

Divorce and Separation

Separation and divorce negatively impact families, causing stress for all members.
Love and respect are crucial for a healthy long-lasting relationship.

Cancer

Cancer is characterized by uncontrolled growth and spread of abnormal cells, forming masses of tissue called tumors.
Malignant tumors are dangerous as they invade surrounding tissues and spread throughout the body (metastasis).
Benign tumors are non-cancerous and enclosed in a sheath, preventing spread.
Obesity, age over 30 at first pregnancy, excessive alcohol consumption, and exposure to carcinogens increase cancer risk.

Testicular Cancer

Testicular cancer arises from abnormalities in the testicles.
Early detection substantially improves treatment outcomes.

Breast Cancer

Breast cancer is more prevalent in obese women and those who had their first pregnancy after 30.
Moderate alcohol consumption increases the risk.
Mammograms are X-rays that detect breast cancer.

Cancer Prevention

Avoid smoking and alcohol consumption.
Protect yourself from the sun's ultraviolet radiation.
Avoid carcinogens in the workplace (e.g., asbestos, coal tars, food additives).
