Pain bias: The health inequality rarely discussed
In 2009, my doctor told me that, like “a lot of women”, I was paying too much attention to my body. Saying there wasn’t an issue, he suggested I just relax and try to ignore the symptoms.

The case for renaming women's body parts
Take a tour of the female pelvis, and you’ll encounter a few incongruous people along the way. How did James Douglas end up tucked behind the uterus? What is Gabriel Fallopian doing hanging around the ovaries? Why is Caspar Bartholin the Younger attached to the labia? And can we trust Ernst Grafenberg’s claim that he actually found the G-spot? Whether you know it or not, each of these dudes have ended up immortalised in the female pelvis – as the Pouch of Douglas, Bartholin’s glands, fallopian tubes, and that elusive Grafenberg spot.

The top 10 problems affecting sleep
Many older people find that as they age, they have more and more sleep problems: some of them have difficulty falling asleep, and others may wake up at 3 or 4 a.m. and never sleep again; in some cases, it is clear that they have slept for a short time, but they still feel sleepy the next day.

Why non-smokers are getting lung cancer
As a lung cancer researcher and patient advocate at Trinity College Dublin, Anne-Marie Baird gets mixed responses when she tells people about her profession. One of the more memorable was when, at a scientific conference, she was asked “Why would you even bother researching that? They deserve it – and they’re all going to die anyway.”

Why don't we know more about migraines?
The first time I experienced a migraine was one evening after school. A dull headache turned into splitting pain, blurring my vision and converting my bedroom light into a source of pure agony. Then came the vomiting. It’s a cycle I’ve experienced countless times in recent years – one that forced me to quit my job and left me feeling helpless.

How terrible is liver cancer, known as the "king of cancer"?
The liver is the largest organ in the body and is divided into two lobes, the right lobe accounts for about 3/5 of the liver and weighs about 1.2 kg. A normal liver can regenerate and even if 2/3 of the liver is removed, the body can still maintain normal function and the remaining liver will regenerate, allowing the liver to grow back to its original size. The main function of the liver is to detoxify and metabolize.

What can be done to prevent and deal with atherosclerosis?
For non-medical people, I wonder if you have the feeling that "atherosclerosis" has been repeatedly mentioned in recent years. This is because, with the continuous improvement of social development and economic level, people's high-calorie foods such as high sugar, high protein, and high fat are increasing, and after middle age, people's digestive function starts to decline and exercise decreases, so the diseases caused by atherosclerosis are increasing. Therefore, atherosclerosis is a chronic and progressive disease. Today I will make a simple scientific explanation for you.

The mystery of the pelvic floor
Since becoming an adult, it’s been impossible to avoid hearing about the importance of a strong pelvic floor. I’ve probably stumbled upon dozens of articles. My doctor and midwives recommend Kegels. Some friends warn that I better do them during pregnancy; other friends admit they skip the burpees in workout class so they don’t wet their leggings. I’ve read about the (debunked) strengthening claims of jade eggs and how French women get electronic physiotherapy after giving birth. The message is clear: a healthy pelvic floor deserves a place on my list of things to worry about.

It all started with a Mexican yam. It was 1942 and a chemistry professor from Pennsylvania was looking for a cheap source of progesterone. The hormone had many uses at the time, including preventing miscarriages and treating women going through the menopause.
