pressure. This condition is called reflux and causes the veins to swell, which, in turn, produces varicose veins. Exposed veins are not innately a significant health risk, but they can develop into more serious problems down the road. Untreated varicose veins can become dangerous because the blood that pools due to faulty valves can produce blood clots. This, in turn, can limit blood flow to the heart and overall circulation. Other potential health risks include: Ulcers Skin changes Swollen limbs Swollen limbs More severe complications include venous reflex and deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Venous reflux can produce significant circulatory problems, while DVT can produce serious clots that result in pulmonary embolism or travel to the heart and cause heart attacks or even death.Sometimes, varicose veins are the first sign of chronic venous disease, usually characterized by brawny skin discoloration, typically on the ankles and calves. Pooling blood leaks into the tissue of the lower leg and ankle, resulting in darkening and hardening of the skin and possibly causing skin ulcers that are difficult to heal. Although varicose veins are primarily inherited, you may be able to delay the onset and progression of this condition. Preventative measures include: Maintaining a healthy weight Regular exercise to strengthen calf muscles Elevating the feet while sitting Wearing compression stockings or support hose Avoiding clothing that constricts your waist, groin, or legs, not wearing shoes with high heels, or crossing your legs while sitting may also help avoid developing varicose veins.

Q: During the last six months, I have had large, noticeably blue veins spread rapidly over my thighs and hips. A doctor I consulted said the ultrasound performed on me indicated that they were not varicose veins and that the reason for seeing these was that I was pale. However, I know many people who have skin lighter than mine, and they don’t have them. I don’t think it’s genetic, as my parents don’t have these veins, either. Is this normal? I feel awful and wonder if there is a treatment to lessen their appearance. I’m only 21. A: Looking at the photos, they are not reticular, but the only way to know for sure is via examination. If another ultrasound shows no reflux, your insurance company will consider this a cosmetic problem. If they bother you, we can quickly fix the problem without downtime.

This year the Lord grants us, once again, a favourable time to prepare to celebrate with renewed hearts the great mystery of the death and resurrection of Jesus, the cornerstone of our personal and communal Christian life. We must continually return to this mystery in mind and heart, for it will continue to grow within us in the measure that we are open to its spiritual power and respond with freedom and generosity. Christian joy flows from listening to, and accepting, the Good News of the death and resurrection of Jesus. This kerygma sums up the mystery of a love “so real, so true, so concrete, that it invites us to a relationship of openness and fruitful dialogue” (Christus Vivit, 117). Whoever believes this message rejects the lie that our life is ours to do with as we will. Rather, life is born of the love of God our Father, from his desire to grant us life in abundance (cf. Jn 10:10). If we listen instead to the tempting voice of the “father of lies” (Jn 8:44), we risk sinking into the abyss of absurdity, and experiencing hell here on earth, as all too many tragic events in the personal and collective human experience sadly bear witness. In this Lent of 2020, I would like to share with every Christian what I wrote to young people in the Apostolic Exhortation Christus Vivit: “Keep your eyes fixed on the outstretched arms of Christ crucified, let yourself be saved over and over again. And when you go to confess your sins, believe firmly in his mercy which frees you of your guilt. Contemplate his blood poured out with such great love, and let yourself be cleansed by it. In this way, you can be reborn ever anew” (No. 123). Jesus’ Pasch is not a past event; rather, through the power of the Holy Spirit it is ever present, enabling us to see and touch with faith the flesh of Christ in those who suffer. of our economic life. For this reason, in the midst of Lent this year, from 26 to 28 March, I have convened a meeting in Assisi with young economists, entrepreneurs and change-makers, with the aim of shaping a more just and inclusive economy. As the Church’s magisterium has often repeated, political life represents an eminent form of charity (cf. Pius XI, Address to the Italian Federation of Catholic University Students, 18 December 1927). The same holds true for economic life, which can be approached in the same evangelical spirit, the spirit of the Beatitudes. I ask Mary Most Holy to pray that our Lenten celebration will open our hearts to hear God’s call to be reconciled to himself, to fix our gaze on the paschal mystery, and to be converted to an open and sincere dialogue with him. In this way, we will become what Christ asks his disciples to be: the salt of the earth and the light of the world (cf. Mt 5:13-14).

Some 63 percent of men are more likely to be in danger of health concern if they are not active in the sheets If you aren’t having sex frequently, it could be having a negative impact on your health. A study of more 5,772 people, 2,577 of which were men, revealed the detrimental impact not getting freaky under the covers can have on males over the age of 50. Titled, Declines in Sexual Activity and Function Predict Incident Health Problems in Older Adults: Prospective Findings from the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing, the paper found that men who aren’t ‘active’ in the sheets are two-thirds more likely to develop a serious illness than those that are. The team of researchers from Anglia Ruskin University, in Cambridge, England, found that men who become less interested in engaging in intercourse are some 63 percent more likely to be diagnosed with cancer. They also found that they have a 41 percent increase in developing a chronic illness. The male participants who noted that their sex drive had gone down had a 47 percent increased risk of believing their health had deteriorated, while those who reported that they struggled to gain an erection found that there was a 66 percent higher risk of self-rated health deterioration. Men over 50s who aren’t having frequent sex face more negative health impacts than those who are (Getty stock) Meanwhile, participants who stated that they were less inclined to get physical with a partner had a 33 percent higher risk of being diagnosed with coronary heart disease at baseline, compared to those that maintained a high sex drive. A low sex drive, or at least a decline in the frequency in which participants were having sex, resulted in a 41 percent higher risk of developing an incident limiting long-term sickness, with a worrying 63 percent increased chance of incident cancer. It concluded that a past-year decline in your sex drive, and how many times you act on it, as well as the ability to maintain an erection, was linked to a number of negative health impacts. Meanwhile, a recent study in Japan has revealed a potential connection between having a lack of interest in sex and how long you live. If you want your parents to live a while more, maybe book them a romantic trip away for Mother’s Day! (Getty stock) A study of 20,969 people in Japan looked at the link between sexual interest as an indicator of ‘positive sexual relationships and sexual function’ and how these have been ‘recognized as important indicators of good health and quality of life‘. Titled, Association between lack of sexual interest and all-cause mortality in a Japanese general population: The Yamagata prospective observational study was published in Journals. It reflected on the results of previous studies showing positive psychological factors aid living longer (longevity) and ‘decrease the risks of cardiovascular disease and cancer‘. The study resolved: “Lack of sexual interest is suggested to be a risk factor for all-cause mortality in Japanese males over 40 years old. This finding has implications for the importance of sexual interest in increasing longevity in this population.”

Strokes are a medical emergency that require immediate attention, but did you know that your body often sends warning signs weeks before one occurs? Recognizing these symptoms early could mean the difference between life and death. In this article, we’ll break down what a stroke is, its different types, and the 10 crucial warning signs you should never ignore. What Is a Stroke? A stroke occurs when blood flow to the brain is interrupted, cutting off oxygen supply to brain cells. This can cause permanent damage, disability, or even death. There are three main types of strokes: Ischemic Stroke: The most common type, caused by a blocked artery due to a blood clot or cholesterol buildup. Hemorrhagic Stroke: Caused by bleeding in the brain due to a ruptured blood vessel, aneurysm, or head injury. Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA): Often called a “mini-stroke,” it’s a temporary blockage that resolves itself, but it serves as a major warning sign of a future stroke. The symptoms of a stroke depend on which part of the brain is affected, but some warning signs can appear weeks or even months before a full stroke occurs. Let’s explore these crucial symptoms. 10 Warning Signs of a Stroke You Shouldn’t Ignore 1. Sudden Exhaustion Feeling unusually tired or experiencing extreme fatigue without explanation? This could be a sign that your brain is struggling with reduced blood flow. If exhaustion persists despite rest, it’s time to consult a doctor. Seeing flashes of light, hearing strange sounds, or smelling things that aren’t there could indicate a neurological issue. If these symptoms appear suddenly and without reason, they may be a precursor to a stroke. 3. Facial Paralysis or Numbness One of the most recognizable signs of an impending stroke is sudden numbness or paralysis, usually on one side of the face. If you notice an uneven smile or a drooping eyelid, seek medical attention immediately. 4. Tunnel Vision or Sudden Vision Loss Losing peripheral vision or experiencing blurred sight can signal reduced blood flow to the brain. If your vision suddenly changes in one or both eyes, don’t ignore it—it could be an early warning sign of a stroke. 5. Loss of Coordination and Balance Are you suddenly stumbling, feeling dizzy, or struggling to maintain your balance? If these issues persist, it could indicate a problem with blood circulation in the brain. 6. Speech Difficulties Slurred speech, trouble finding words, or difficulty understanding others can be an early symptom of an impending stroke. If communication becomes challenging, don’t wait—seek medical advice immediately. 7. Unexplained Severe Headaches Frequent headaches that feel different from your usual migraines—especially if they are sudden and intense—may indicate a stroke in progress. If pain medication doesn’t help, this is a red flag. 8. Sudden Mood Swings or Memory Loss Uncharacteristic irritability, confusion, or forgetfulness can be signs that the brain isn’t functioning properly. Small memory lapses may seem harmless, but they could be early indicators of an impending stroke. 9. Shortness of Breath or Chest Pain A stroke doesn’t just affect the brain—it can also impact the heart. If you experience sudden shortness of breath, chest discomfort, or an irregular heartbeat, this may suggest an increased risk of stroke. 10. Unexplained High Blood Pressure Spikes Frequent and sudden increases in blood pressure can damage arteries, leading to a stroke. If your blood pressure is significantly higher than normal, consult a doctor to manage the risk. How to Reduce Your Risk of Stroke Now that you know the warning signs, here are a few proactive steps to lower your stroke risk: ✅ Adopt a Healthy Diet: Eat more fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins while reducing salt and unhealthy fats. ✅ Exercise Regularly: Even 30 minutes of moderate physical activity can significantly reduce your risk. ✅ Monitor Your Blood Pressure: High blood pressure is a leading cause of strokes. Keep it under control with lifestyle changes and medication if necessary. ✅ Limit Alcohol and Avoid Smoking: Excessive drinking and smoking damage blood vessels, increasing your stroke risk. ✅ Stay Hydrated: Dehydration can thicken the blood, making clot formation more likely. ✅ Manage Stress: Chronic stress can lead to high blood pressure and heart issues. Practice mindfulness, deep breathing, or meditation. Conclusion: Early Detection Saves Lives A stroke can strike suddenly, but your body often provides warning signs well in advance. Recognizing symptoms like extreme fatigue, facial paralysis, speech difficulties, or high blood pressure spikes can be life-saving. If you or someone you know experiences these symptoms, don’t hesitate—seek medical help immediately. Prevention is key, so take proactive steps to maintain a healthy lifestyle and reduce your risk.

Penny went on to say she and Jake have a ‘very healthy sex life’, adding to The Sun: “For me, it isn’t just about the penetration and climax of sex, but the foreplay and everything that leads up to that. “When I saw Jake’s penis for the first time, I wasn’t horrified, it was the opposite. I thought it was absolutely perfect.” But while she might think that, his friends often make fun of him for it, however, he is able to take it in good humor. Penny continued: “It’s just typical boys’ banter, and I’ve heard them refer to it as a piece of dental floss before, but he just laughs it off.” She added that even his mom ‘giggles along’ at his jokes, like saying his two older brothers ‘got all the goods’. Penny herself lives with endometriosis – a chronic health condition that affects roughly ten percent of ‘reproductive age’ women and girls, roughly 190 million people, according to the World Health Organisation (WHO). Penny says it’s not about size at the end of the day (Getty Stock Photo) Endometriosis happens when tissue that is similar to lining of the uterus grows outside of the uterus, so as a result, sex can sometimes be painful, which is where Jake’s ‘smaller’ penis is ‘perfect’. Penny continues: “People always ask me if Jake’s penis is the smallest I have ever had, and to be honest I try to blank out all my previous sexual partners. “I mean, yes, he is below average, but for me it’s never been about a man’s size. “There are lots of other ways to spice up your sex life and for you both to be left satisfied in the bedroom, and believe it or not, it doesn’t all just come down to your bloke’s manhood.” Jake also shares a similar sentiment, telling The Sun: “It’s not the size that matters, but what you do with it.” Another man with a micropenis, Ant Smith, said last year that he had low self esteem as a result of his penis, however, he had since come to accept it. “Somehow the size of your penis has become linked to how much of a “man” you are, which is nonsense.” he said on This Morning. “My wife assured me my size made no difference.” Penny and Jake have been dating for two years A woman whose boyfriend has a ‘micropenis’ has answered the one question many people seem to be asking. Approximately 1.5 in 10,000 newborns in the US are born with a micropenis, while it affects around 0.6 per cent of people worldwide, Cleveland Clinic says. It’s an extremely rare condition, and Jake Timms is one of those who has it, with his manhood typically under 2.8 inches when erect; but that’s not something that bothers his girlfriend Penny Talbot. Before the two Brits entered a relationship two years ago, Penny and Jake were friends, but when they began dating, she says Jake brought it up immediately. Men discuss living with a ‘micro penis’ “But he wasn’t embarrassed about it at all, in fact I would say he was proud of his size.” she told The Sun. “I think he just wanted me to know in case I was disappointed, but that wasn’t the case at all.” If anything, Penny said their sex life is more fulfilling than ever. The size of Jake’s penis doesn’t get in the way of their sex life, according to his girlfriend (Getty Stock Photo) She told the Daily Star: “When I saw Jake’s for the first time, I wasn’t horrified, it was the opposite. I thought it was absolutely perfect. Jake and I have a very healthy sex life and I’m always left satisfied.”

The question is: does how it’s done make a difference, too? A chief doctor has weighed in on studies suggesting it’s ‘possible’ that ejaculating helps prevent prostate cancer. Chief of urology at The Hospital of Central Connecticut, Ryan P. Dorin, has weighed in on several studies dating all the way back to 2004—yes, that was really 21 years ago. Feel old yet? The studies all suggest ‘sex and masturbation may have a protective effect against prostate cancer’. But what does the doctor think and how many times do you really have to ejaculate in order for these ‘protective’ measures to really have any kind of significant impact? How many times you have to ejaculate to potentially help prevent prostate cancer Hartford Healthcare at The Hospital of Central Connecticut details Dr Dorin’s thoughts on the studies, the expert noting ‘more research’ is ultimately needed before anything is said for ‘certain’. However, he draws on a 2016 study which ‘interviewed men who’d previously been diagnosed with prostate cancer and had prostate surgery’. A doctor has weighed in on whether ejaculation can help prevent prostate cancer (Getty Stock Images) “Those who said they ejaculated more than 21 times per month had a lower risk of cancer recurrence than those who checked the box for four-seven times,” the site reports. Dr Dorin argues it’s ‘still up for debate’ how many times you really have to ejaculate in order to reap the benefits. And when it comes to the best form of ejaculation? Well, the doctor reckons how you ejaculate ultimately ‘doesn’t seem as important’ as ‘how much’. Although, Dr Dorin theorized ‘if more frequent ejaculation does protect against prostate cancer, it probably applies equally to sexual intercourse and masturbation’. But what does ejaculating really do that can supposedly help prevent prostate cancer? In theory it shouldn’t matter whether it’s via sex or if you fly solo (Getty Stock Images) How ejaculating can actually help prevent prostate cancer Dr Dorin explains: “When men ejaculate, the prostate gland releases fluid that can potentially flush out toxins from the prostate gland. “It’s possible that doing this more regularly helps keep cancer-causing substances at bay too.” Hartford Healthcare adds sexual activity also ‘helps improve blood flow to the prostate gland’—blood which ‘delivers oxygen and nutrients, while removing waste products’. “Keeping it moving is key for a healthy prostate—and could be a key to reducing cancer risk too,” it notes. Now, before using this as an excuse to scurry off to knock one out in the nearest private place, you can also try to keep prostate cancer at bay by ensuring you’re eating healthily, regularly exercising, not smoking or drinking as much alcohol, and making sure to attend check-ups with your doctor. If you’ve been affected by any of these issues and want to speak to someone in confidence, contact the American Cancer Society on 1-800-227-2345 or via their live chat feature, available 24/7 every day of the year.

Breast cancer affects 1 out of every 8 women in the USA. To successfully treat cancer, early detection is very important. It is highly necessary for women to know the signs of invasive breast cancer from its inception and seek medical help early instead of battling the latter stages of the disease. These are the five warning signs and symptoms of breast cancer that every woman should know: 1. New moles or change in an existing mole Moles can be seen as an early indicator of breast cancer. Women with moles had a 13% risk of developing breast cancer than women with no moles on them. 2. Hoarse throat and persistent cough If cancer from the breasts spreads to the lungs, it can lead to persistent coughing and hoarseness of the throat. According to statistics, about 60-70% of cancer patients, breast cancer metastasizes to the lungs, causing a dry cough and shortness of breath. 3. Irregular bowel or bladder movement Breast cancer patients may experience a change in their hormones, leading to drying of the urethra and causes incontinence. This can cause leaking of urine when laughing, coughing, exercising and even sneezing. Also, these patients may have an urgent need to urinate and the urination takes longer than usual. 4. Tiredness and fatigue that cannot be explained Most cancers include tiredness and fatigue. Cancer patients may feel tired even after a good night’s sleep. Also, they may experience depression and pain too. The fatigue is not triggered by physical exhaustion but by a chemical imbalance in the body which is caused by cancer. 5. Unexplained pain in the back 8 out of 10 people can have back pain. Also, it has been discovered that breast cancer can be responsible for the irritating pain in the back. The breast cancer patient feels pressure on the spine and ribs, including pain in the upper back. It may appear as if the pain is from the bones, which may also mean the breast cancer may have spread to the person’s bones.

Fatty Liver: Causes, Symptoms, Types, Prevention, and Lifestyle-Based Management Source: Shutterstock Fatty liver is caused by the accumulation of fat in the liver. It is a condition that can occur for many reasons, such as obesity, unhealthy lifestyle habits, and metabolic disorders. There can also be a hereditary component to your risk of developing this condition. Fatty liver disease is common in people with diabetes or those who drink alcohol excessively. Understanding the causes is the first step to preventing fatty liver disease from occurring altogether. Read More: 8 Signs of Poor Liver Health & the Best Supplements to Help Support It  Causes of Fatty Liver Source: Shutterstock As already mentioned, there are a number of contributing factors to fatty liver disease. Most of these are lifestyle choices and are, therefore, reasonably preventable. This means that those with a family history of the condition can change their odds if they do the right things. The most common causes of fatty liver are (1): Unhealthy Diet: Consuming a diet rich in processed foods, sugary drinks, and saturated fats can increase the risk of developing fatty liver.
