Vaginal cancer is a rare type of cancer. It is more common in women 60 and older. You are also more likely to get it if you have a human papillomavirus (HPV) infection or if your mother took diethylstilbestrol (DES) when she was pregnant. Doctors prescribed DES in the 1950's to prevent miscarriages.

It often doesn't have early symptoms. However, see your doctor if you notice

Bleeding that is not your period
A vaginal lump
Pelvic pain

A Pap test can find abnormal cells that may be cancer. Vaginal cancer can often be cured in its early stages. Treatment might include surgery, radiation and chemotherapy.

Resolved Question: Why are pro- circumcision women sexist and hate taking responsibility for their own health? (Thu, 27 Oct 2011 19:56:43 GMT)
Some are always here these lazy women online who are too lazy to get pap smears which they should be getting regardless of rather their partner is circumcised or not. Cervical cancer, when detected early, is very treatable. In addition, there is also a vaccine that would PREVENT around 70% of cervical cancers in women, yet this is totally ignored in the light of circ (and men can get the vaccine too). Do you think this may have something to do with women blaming men for all their problems? A

Resolved Question: Can you still orgasm after having ovaries removed (complete hysterectomy) without hormone replacement therapy? (Mon, 01 Nov 2010 23:55:43 GMT)
I am only 24 years old and I have the breast cancer gene BRCA2. Unfortunately, this gene can cause more than breast cancer. It is associated with an increased risk of ovarian, breast, and melanoma cancer. Ovarian cancer is very difficult to diagnose in its earlier stages and often it is too late once symptoms do occur. This means that my doctor has advised me to have my ovaries removed after I have my children, which will probably be in my thirties. Also, I cannot take Hormone Replacement

I would like to know what your opinion is on getting your dog spayed/nurtured? I've seen a few people say to wait until the dog is fully mature. Or to wait after the first heat cycle... but my vet always told me to get your dogs spayed ASAP because it reduces health risks. According to my vet you must get your dog spayed/nurtured early because it reduces their chances of vaginal/testicular cancer, and reduces the chance of your dog getting breast tumors.

I've noticed that when I put tampons in, the angle in which I am inserting the tampon changes after a few inches into the vagina.
