I sensed what those voices accompanied by hurtful faces
said what they imagined…
And so I grew up, strong and lonely.
Able to face any situation…
They never thought that they did not hurt me,
but that they made me grow totally independent
and with a unique strength
that no one will ever have…

like the torn down Berlin walls. cleansing the banks of resentment,
like the reconciliation between Mandela and De Klerk.
A tree of words, with deep roots like the olive tree of peace,
branches reaching towards a clear sky,
like the sky over Hiroshima after silence.
leaves whispering promises of calm,
like Gandhi’s prayers for non-violence.
A beacon in the dark night of conflict,
like the Statue of Liberty, a guide of hope.
its light guiding the lost, like Martin Luther King
Jr.’s moral compass pointing the way to understanding,
like the rainbow after the storm.
A mirror reflecting humanity,
like Picasso’s Guernica, testimony to horror and the need for change.
Showing its beauty, like Mona Lisa’s smile, an enigma of serenity.
Its ability to heal, like the resilience of the Japanese people.
A silent embrace, like the embrace of the peoples of Europe
after the Second World War,
enveloping broken hearts,
like the bonds of solidarity between countries
after the Indian Ocean tsunami.

And on the horizon, a new dawn, painted with the colors of unity
where the seeds of peace flourish, and a bright future, full of hope, lays before us.

But by your memory in details I would have been lost
Your passion for fairness I could never forget
How you did stand to your principles set
A poem I wrote who would think would start
A friendship so true in form as a dart
A nasty post once that made me cry
Overnight you stayed by my side
Never mentioned that I was being petty
I was struck by your patient loyalty
Days and months did pass us by
Never once to each other did we lie
For a time together we fought for a cause
Now we are too busy from different source
Still the friendship kept its glow
As our rivers to other branches flow
Strange how two strangers connect so neat
When in person we still yet have to meet
Heal with Smile
Many are the secrets of pain
With scars seen and unseen
Blood and tears a soul stain
Smile covered the past scene
Not deceit nor indifference
Pains still remain not gone
Grieve or move on’s chance
A choice where love has won
It is not a spiritual weakness
When one choose to forget
Outside one show happiness
Inside same joy one can get
Heal inside as heal outside
Inspire others forbearance
Awaken strength in reside
A smile not for appearance
Why must choose to wallow
Sink your head in filthy gutter
Why drown in sea of sorrow
Joy from other source gather
Life is hard but still beautiful
In the midst of dark seek light
Consider the glass as half full
Space to fill with greater delight

In the interspace, the joyful assaults of the day are repelled,
the sunlight filters weakly, like broken dreams,
silence reigns supreme, among persistent shadows,
where the noises of the world become distant.
Here, between walls of suspended time,
the mind takes refuge, in search of quiet,
a place of calm, a shelter defended,
from the screams of the day, from disturbing anxieties.
But even in the shadow, a small ray,
insinuates itself, bringing a faint hope,
a promise of peace, in the heart, a glow.
Oh, interspace, guardian of serenity,
protect the soul from nameless storms,
and let silence soothe every pain.

This article focuses on explaining the importance of early detection and diagnosis of diseases in women’s health. It aims to provide useful information for medical professionals and the general public by covering common gynecological diseases today, their causes, types, treatment methods, and similar information.
The health of the female reproductive organs is crucial throughout life, encompassing reproduction, hormonal balance, attractiveness, and other female-specific processes. Disruptions in these processes can lead to various gynecological diseases.
Main Part
The primary gynecological diseases in women are linked to the anatomical and physiological characteristics of the female body. Although these diseases mainly affect the reproductive system, they also influence the entire body. The pathology of vital organs is of great significance.
Uterine Fibroids (Myoma)
Currently, uterine fibroids are diagnosed in 30-35% of women. Myoma is a benign tumor that develops in the muscle layer (myometrium) of the uterus. There are three types of myomas:
Intramural Myoma: Develops within the uterine muscle layer, causing noticeable uterine enlargement, menstrual irregularities, severe pain, and pressure on the bladder and rectum.
Subserous Myoma: Forms on the outer wall of the uterus within the serous membrane, growing outward into the pelvic cavity. These tumors are often asymptomatic, but may cause constipation and frequent urination.
Submucosal Myoma: Forms under the inner lining of the uterus and is rare but severe, leading to abnormal menstrual cycles, excessive bleeding, lower abdominal and lower back pain.
Symptoms of Myoma:
Not all myomas cause noticeable symptoms, especially subserous ones. However, in some cases, clinical signs include:
Menstrual changes (lasting more than 8 days, heavy bleeding, blood clots)
Severe pain between menstrual cycles
Lower back and abdominal pain
Increased abdominal size
Pain during intercourse
Adenomyosis
Adenomyosis is a chronic gynecological disease where the endometrial tissue (inner uterine lining) invades the myometrium (uterine muscle layer). This condition is often referred to as internal endometriosis due to its similarities with endometriosis. It causes thickening and enlargement of the uterus. Research suggests that adenomyosis is diagnosed in 70% of women of reproductive age, particularly those aged 35-50.
Causes of Adenomyosis:
Although the exact causes are not fully understood, several factors contribute to its development:
Autoimmune factors (where the immune system attacks its own tissues)
Symptoms of Adenomyosis:
Painful menstruation (dysmenorrhea)
Heavy menstrual bleeding (menorrhagia)
Pain during intercourse
General discomfort in the pelvic area
Endometriotic Cysts (Endometriosis)
Endometriotic cysts, or “chocolate cysts,” are another chronic gynecological condition. In this disease, the endometrial tissue grows outside the uterus, attaching to other organs, leading to inflammation and severe pain. The menstrual blood in affected women often takes on a dark, chocolate-like color.
Causes of Endometriosis:
Genetic predisposition
Hormonal imbalance
Acquired factors (surgeries, immune dysfunctions)
In some cases, it can lead to infertility
Treatment Methods
Treatment options for the above-mentioned diseases include:
Surgical intervention: Removal of fibroids, cysts, or affected tissues
Chemotherapy: Used in severe cases
Diagnostic methods: MRI, ultrasound
Conclusion
To prevent these gynecological diseases, women should undergo regular medical check-ups and seek gynecological advice. Maintaining a balanced diet, ensuring hormonal stability, and engaging in physical activity can significantly contribute to overall reproductive health.
