Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Cancer / January 2006Vaginal cancer question
Does the circumcision status of the male partner have anything to do with vaginal cancer in the female? Jackie > Does the circumcision status of the male partner have anything to do with > vaginal cancer in the female? > Jackie Not vaginal cancer. The partners of uncircumcised males do have a slightly higher incidence of cervical cancer > Does the circumcision status of the male partner have anything to do with > vaginal cancer in the female? > Jackie No. DES daughters have a higher risk for vaginal cancer.

(source CDC) I shall ask mother. Not that the knowledge will change anything, but in the event of a problem in the future it could be useful to know. > Now it is the subject of a number of lawsuits by women who might have died > in uetero and are not thankful for even being alive and may not even be one > of the 1/10% affected. (cynicism raises its ugly head again from a citizen > of a country that produces more lawyers than doctors.) *Might* have died?? 0.1% chance of developing cancer as a result? Ruddy 'eck. These people need to get a life. Or rather, since they clearly have one, they need to start appreciating the one they've got. Morons, the lot of 'em. It would never occur to me to sue someone for doing their best and acting according to the received wisdom of the day, and I completely fail to understand those to do. I also thoroughly resent the fact that we in the UK have 'had' to introduce much in the way of pointless legislation simply because of the sheer stupidity and selfishness/greed of ye general publik. Perhaps on second thoughts I won't bother asking mother after all. I don't reckon it's sufficiently important.

The same sort of thing can be said of Thalidomide. Used for the 'wrong' thing it caused chaos and heartbreak; used for the 'right' thing it's helping people. >bottina@tiscali.nl said... >> [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] >> >What is DES? Diethyl Silbesterone, A synthetic estrogen given to pregnant women thought to be at risk of miscarriage in the 1950's and early 1960's. It didn't prevent miscarriages, but does produce a truly alarming increase in the incidence of reproductive tract cancers in the offspring! |
