Prostate cancer prevention is possible. Even though there are over 200,000 new cases annually as well as about 30,000 death yearly attributed to this condition, there are lifestyle changes you can make right now that can significantly reduce the risk of getting this disease.What Is This Disease AboutThe prostate is a gland in the male reproductive system that is responsible for producing most of the fluid that makes up the semen.

Sore nipples after breast feedingOnce breast-feeding is established you may find that your milk will not let-down if you are tense, anxious or embarrassed. The baby latches on and sucks but gets little or nothing and may come off again, howling indignantly. The milk will not flow comfortably until you can find enough privacy for relaxation.Oxytocin also makes the muscles of your uterus contract, which is why breast-feeding tends to speed up your womb's return to its pre-pregnancy size. Some women feel those contractions as mild "colicky" pains. A few find them a very uncomfortable part of starting breast-feeding. They tend to be rather worse after later babies than after the first, but they are only noticeable for two or three days.Sore nipplesThe mistaken idea that nipples got sore from the unaccustomed use of suckling was responsible for a lot of misery both for mothers (who had sore nipples) and babies (whose sucking time was rationed). Indirectly it was also responsible for a lot of breast-feeding "failures" because soreness affected supply and rationing affected demand. The principal cause of nipple soreness is not unaccustomed sucking but any.Nipples are not for sucking on....more
