  • Birth Cont R Ol Fact Sheet
    VAGINAL RING FACT SHEET What is the Vaginal Ring (Nuvaring®)? The Vaginal Ring is a clear, flexible, thin, plastic ring that you place in the vagina where it stays for one cycle providing a continuous low dose of 2 hormones (estrogen and progestin). It prevents pregnancy by stopping the release of an egg (ovulation), thickening the cervical fluid, and changing the lining of the uterus. How effective is the Vaginal Ring? The ring is a very effective method of birth control. The ring is about 93% effective at preventing pregnancy in typical use, which means that around 7 out of 100 people who use it as their only form of birth control will get pregnant in one year. With consistent and correct use as described in this fact sheet, it can be over 99% effective. How can I get the Vaginal Ring? You can visit a clinic to get the ring or a prescription for it and talk with a healthcare provider about whether the ring is right for you. Advantages of the Vaginal Ring Disadvantages of the Vaginal Ring Periods may be more predictable/regular and lighter Must remember to remove and replace the ring once a Less period cramping month Decreased symptoms of Premenstrual Syndrome Some users may experience mild side effects such as: (PMS) and perimenopause spotting, nausea, breast tenderness, headaches, or Can be used to skip or shorten your periods dizziness (usually these improve in the first few months Less anemia/iron deficiency caused by heavy periods of use) Does not affect your ability to get pregnant in the Possibility of high blood pressure

  • Palm Reading
    Palm Reading Also known as palmistry or chiromancy, palm reading is practiced all over the world with roots in Indian astrology and gypsy fortune-telling. The objective is to evaluate a person’s character and aspects of their life by studying the palm of their hand. There is no substantiate evidence of correlation between palm features and psychological traits; palm reading is for entertainment purposes. Getting Started Which hand to read? There are two main practices: For males, the left hand is what you’re born with, and the right is what you’ve accumulated throughout your life. For females, it’s the opposite. Your dominant hand (the hand you use most often) determines your future and your other, non-dominant hand, is used to determine the past or hidden traits Take these into consideration when choosing which hand to read. Reading the Primary Lines of your Hand 1. Interpret the Heart Line This line is believed to indicate emotional stability, romantic perspectives, depression, and cardiac health. Begins below the index finger = content with love life Begins below the middle finger = selfish when it comes to love Begins in-between the middle and index fingers = caring and understanding Is straight and short = less interest in romance Touches life line = heart is broken easily Is long and curvy = freely expresses emotions and feelings Is straight and parallel to the head line = good handle on emotions Is wavy = many relationships, absence of serious relationships Circle on the line = sad or depressed Broken line = emotional trauma 2. Examine the Head Line This line represents learning style, communication style, intellectualism, and thirst for knowledge.

  • The Pelvic Floor Muscles - a Guide for Women This Booklet Is Supported by Wellbeing of Women Registered Charity No
    The Pelvic Floor Muscles - a Guide for Women This booklet is supported by Wellbeing of Women Registered Charity No. 239281 www.wellbeingofwomen.org.uk Introduction Up to a third of all women experience a problem with their pelvic floor muscles at some time during their life. The most common problems are leaking with activity, sneezing or coughing (stress urinary incontinence) and pelvic organ prolapse (a feeling of something coming down in the vagina). All the bladder, bowel and sexual functions require good pelvic floor muscles. Effective pelvic floor muscles in pregnancy will reduce the risk of postnatal stress urinary incontinence (SUI). Bowel Uterus Bladder Pubic Bone Tailbone Pelvic floor muscles Vagina Urethra The pelvic floor muscles lie across the base of your pelvis to help keep the pelvic organs - bladder, uterus and bowel - in the correct position. The muscles are held in place by ligaments that support the organs especially when there is an increase of pressure in the abdomen that occurs with lifting, bending, carrying and straining. This is called intra-abdominal pressure and when it increases the pelvic floor and abdominal muscles brace so that the internal organs such as the uterus and bladder are not pushed downwards. The pelvic floor muscles work to help keep the bladder and bowel openings closed to prevent unwanted leakage (incontinence) and they relax to 1 allow easy bladder and bowel emptying. Good pelvic floor muscles can help with sex by improving the vaginal sensation and your ability to grip. Your pelvic floor muscles are important in posture and with the abdominal muscles help to support your spine.

It has been accepted for inclusion in Education, Health & Behavior Studies Faculty Publications by an authorized administrator of UND Scholarly Commons. For more information, please contact [email protected]. Finger size does matter… in sports Grant Tomkinson, Makailah Dyer Examine your fingers. Which is longer? Is it the index finger (the finger you use to point with – technically the second digit, or 2D, counting the thumb), or the ring finger (the fourth digit, or 4D)? The relative length of the index and ring fingers is known as the digit ratio or the 2D:4D. For example, if your index finger is 2.9 inches (or 7.4 cm) long, and your ring finger is 3.1 inches (or 7.9 cm) long, your digit ratio is 0.935 (i.e., 2.9/3.1 or 7.4/7.9). Males typically have lower digit ratios (the ring finger in males is typically longer than the index finger) than females (the fingers are about the same length in females).
