Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in the United States. The disease strikes both men and women, and women account for roughly half of the 143,000 new cases diagnosed each year.
Depression is quite different from having the blues. Whereas feeling sad or down on occasion is perfectly normal, depression, also called depressive disorder, is a serious illness that interferes with daily life, functioning, and relationships.
Once it develops, diabetes is a lifelong condition that affects an estimated 23.6 million people in the United States—that’s almost 8 percent of the population.
Heartburn is actually a symptom of another condition and not a disease itself. The disease that causes heartburn is gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
Menopause is a normal change in a woman’s life. It occurs when she has her last period. Menopause, however, doesn’t simply happen when menstruation ends—symptoms may begin years before your last period and continue for months or years after.
Obesity, a condition where a person is significantly or extremely overweight, can raise risk for several serious medical conditions.
Each year in the United States, more than 21,000 women are diagnosed with ovarian cancer.
More than one million new cases of skin cancer are diagnosed each year in the United States, making it the most commonly diagnosed type of cancer among women and men.
