Emphysema is a chronic lung disease caused by smoking
tobacco or exposure to toxic chemicals. Emphysema is caused by the loss of
elasticity in the tissues around the lungs.
The result is air will be trapped in the lungs. Because of this, the
person infected will have shortness of breath particularly when doing
heavy activities. Since emphysema is a respiratory disease, it is highly
associated with bronchitis.

Gonorrhea is a sexually transmitted disease. And because it is a
sexually transmitted disease, the most common deterrent to that is a
healthy lifestyle. Nothing beats having sex with only your partner as a
counter to gonorrhea. People must learn how to be loyal to their
monogamous romantic and sexual partners.

Endometrial cancer is cancer of the endometrium or the
lining in the uterus. Take note that this cancer is the most common
gynecologic cancer in the country today. Over 35,000 women are diagnosed
with this disease each year but because of effective screening, not too
many people die from it even though as written earlier, it is more common
than cervical or ovarian cancer. Those who have endometrial cancer are
mostly women who have large amounts of estrogen in their body. So women
who use estrogen-enhancing products after their menopause, be aware.

Depression is a state of sadness or despair that has
advanced to a point where the normal social functions of a person are
altered. I would like to emphasize that clinical depression is different
from depression or when we usually say “I am down today, I am feeling the
blues, I am depressed and lonely.” When we experience that, we just
contemplate alone or we surround ourselves with activities until the
loneliness goes away. This is normal. This is what is called as depression
as a mood. But clinical depression is different. When a person experiences
clinical depression, he or she is in a state of despair that may possibly
lead to suicide or worse, multiple homicides. The person may want to let
other persons who have caused his problems go down with him. This is
something serious. This is something to be addressed by medical
professionals. Thus, the term clinical depression.

Cervical cancer is an anomaly of the cervix which is a non-treatable
disease. Of course, cancer is a phenomenon in which cells of the body
divide themselves and invade other tissues. In other words, your body will
be eaten slowly by some elements of itself. Found only in females and part
of the female reproductive system, the cervix is part of the uterus. Since
it is only found in women, cervical cancer is the second topmost cause of
cancer death in the world for women.
