Sexual Health & Divorce Issues Overview

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).
