Cypress-Tomball Democrats November 16th Meeting

HEALTH BRIEFS - NOVEMBER 2011 POSTMENOPAUSAL BLEEDING COULD BE SIGN OF ENDOMETRIAL CANCER

After a woman goes through menopause, it is not normal for her to start bleeding again, said a gynecologic oncologist at Baylor College of Medicine. Most postmenopausal bleeding is caused by the thinning of the cervix; however, in some cases bleeding is a sign of endometrial cancer and should not be ignored, said Dr. Concepcion R. Diaz-Arrastia, professor of obstetrics and gynecology at BCM. When caught in the early stages, endometrial cancer can be cured, Diaz-Arrastia said. However, there are few symptoms and no screening methods and often isn’t found until later stages. That’s why it is so important for women to be conscious of things that may be associated with the disease, like bleeding. Endometrial cancer is the most common uterine cancer. It occurs in the endometrium or the lining of the uterus. More than 40,000 women are diagnosed with endometrial cancer every year in the United States. Women who are obese and/or have a history of irregular menstrual cycles have an increased chance of developing endometrial cancer, Diaz-Arrastia said. If you notice postmenopausal bleeding, contact your gynecologist and set up an appointment as soon as possible. SYMPTOMS POINT TO DIABETES

The Cypress-Tomball Democrats will hold their monthly meeting on Wednesday, November 16th, at Luigi’s Restaurant, 12779 Jones Rd., Houston, 77070. A meet and greet will begin at 6:30 p.m., followed by the general meeting at 7:00 p.m. November’s guest speaker will be Harris County Sheriff Adrian Garcia. All are welcome to join this growing club. Meetings are held on the third Wednesday of every month. For more information, contact Olga Moya at cytomdems@yahoo.com.

Maintaining a healthy weight, eating a low-fat diet and exercising regularly can help prevent the onset of diabetes and the many side affects of the disease, according to doctors at Baylor College of Medicine.

• Frequent urination • Excessive thirst • Increased hunger • Weight loss
