Ovarian Cancer after using talcum powder?

Leave a reply

Talcum powder and ovarian cancer:  As many as 10,000 cases of ovarian cancer diagnosed each year may have been caused by regular use of talcum powder. Talcum powder is used to absorb moisture and is widely available in various products including baby powder and adult products including body and facial powder. Talc products used regularly in the genital area could increase the risk of ovarian cancer if the powder were to travel through the vagina, uterus and fallopian tubes to the ovaries. A jury recently found consumer health care products manufacturer Johnson & Johnson knew of the cancer risks associated with its talc products but failed to warn consumers.

Heart attack or stroke after Testosterone therapy

Leave a reply

Testosterone Replacement Therapy products for men have been linked to an increased risk of death, heart attack and stroke. In one study, researchers found men who used testosterone therapy were 30 percent more likely to have a heart attack, stroke, or die after three years of use. A second study found that men had a significant increase in risk of heart attack and stroke in just the first 90 days of testosterone therapy use. Testosterone therapy, such as the prescription topical treatments Androgel, Testim and Axiron, are used to help boost testosterone levels in men who have “Low T,” a deficiency of the male hormone.
