Testicular cancer: it's not the tight pants

Article Abstract:

Testicular cancer is becoming more common in the UK, particularly among young men in their 20s. However, it is a form of cancer for which cure rates are very high. It is believed that testicular cancer is trigged by something going wrong during foetal development. This may be why it is sometimes linked with other problems affecting the male reproductive system. It is occasionally hereditary, and is one of the few types of cancer to be connected with higher social class.

The big baby boom

Article Abstract:

Large babies are traditionally regarded positively, being seen as healthier and stronger than their smaller counterparts. However, some experts believe that British babies may now be becoming too large. A large baby can cause serious problems during labour, and this is one reason why the number of emergency Caesareans has risen. Furthermore, there is evidence suggesting a link between large babies and higher rates of breast, prostate and ovarian cancer in adults.

The bug that strikes before you know it

Article Abstract:

Chlamydia is the most common sexually transmitted disease in Europe, but many people remain unaware of its existence. Most people suffering from it will be unaware of the fact, as it is symptomless. It is fully curable if treated early, but when left untreated can create serious problems, including infertility, pelvic infection and ectopic pregnancy. Only 40,000 cases a year are identified, but the disease is thought to affect hundreds of thousands of people.
