What Your Doctor May Not Tell You about<a href= HPV and Abnormal Pap Smears" />

Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) is a sexually transmitted disease that is known as “the silent killer” because its symptoms are so ambiguous most people don’t know that they have it. A proven precursor to cervical and penile cancer, HPV can be deadly if left untreated. With 70 strains of the virus in existence, HPV is widespread and-since condoms don’t protect you-it infects over one million people per year in the United States alone. WHAT YOUR DOCTOR MAY NOT TELL YOU ABOUT HPV AND ABNORMAL PAP SMEARS will raise awareness about this disease, as well as irregular pap smears, and provide much needed information and support for those infected, including self-exams that can be done at home.

Any Mother's Daughter: One Woman's Lifelong Struggle with<a href= HPV (Human Papillomavirus)" />

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that some 20 million Americans have contracted HPV (Human Papillomavirus) and 6.2 million more will contract the virus each year. HPV has become the single most sexually transmitted disease. It is known to cause cervical, vaginal, vulvar, anal and penile cancer. However, it is now also associated with cancers of the lung, head and neck as well as oral cancers. Current research is showing that this virus can be transmitted in other ways separate from a component of sexual transmission. This compelling true story of one woman’s lifelong struggle with HPV (Human Papillomavirus), “Any Mother’s Daughter” describes the author’s intensely personal experience with the most frequently sexually transmitted disease. Through the use of her autobiographical accounts, combined with explanations of the various types, grading and potential complications of HPV, the author brings a new understanding to patients.

She discusses her own decision to have her daughter vaccinated and whether or not she believes it promotes promiscuity.”–Library Journal Xpress online reviews;>”This book is packed full of information. It should be a tool for parents and for health classes in high school, as to teach all teenagers the dangers of sexually transmitted diseases / infections and to also encourage both parents and teenagers to be open and honest in regards to their sexual activity. This book contains so much needed information, from the cause to the treatment, and also the vaccine itself. If I had a teenager, or a child in puberty I would definitely use this book as a learning tool. As a nurse, of course I find any writing related to Health c (more…)
