Period pain is often accepted as a regular symptom associated with menses but is usually an indication of a hormone imbalance. Painful periods may occur as a symptom in many menstrual disorders like polycystic ovary syndrome but in healthy women, period pain should signal the need for medical intervention.
A herbal or homeopathic female hormone stabilizer is intended for use in any condition where regulating the female hormone levels will ease the associated signs and symptoms. These conditions may include polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), endometriosis, dysmenorrhea (painful periods) or an irregular menstrual cycle. A natural female hormone stabilizer should not be used in conjunction with an oral contraceptive or any other hormone replace or modulating therapy.
Anemia is term for a number of conditions causing low blood iron levels mainly due to the reduced concentration of hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is an essential component of red blood cells and are responsible for the transport of oxygen and carbon dioxide through the blood. Hemoglobin is composed of iron bonded to proteins. The low intake of iron, loss of iron through bleeding or abnormal utilization of iron in the body will result in anemia.
Melasma is the darkening of the skin due to increased deposits of the pigment, melanin. This hyperpigmentation may occur for a number of reasons but is usually not associated with skin inflammation (dermatitis). Most cases of pigmentation that is present for more than 3 months will not resolve even with treatment and the focus of treatment should be directed at preventing further darkening of the skin or retarding the spread of the hyperpigmentation.
A fungus under the breast is more common than reported and is prevalent in women with large busts who live in hot and humid (tropical) climates. The fungal infection arises due to a combination of factors and is referred to as submammary candidiasis. These infections are often caused by yeast-like fungi (candida) or mold-like fungi (dermatophytes or skin fungus referred to as tinea infections), although a breast fungus is usually a result of a candida infection.
