Today, the average life expectancy for women is 79 and for men is 72. As men and women approach these ages, the life expectancy will most likely increase with treatments and cures for diseases and therapies for ones like cancer, heart attack, influenza or Alzheimer's.
Statistics show that women take more preventative measures to protect their health and life expectancy, because they worry more about it than men do. To help men improving the average of their life expectancy, we try to provide as much as information we can related to diseases and conditions that may influence expectancy and quality of life.

That means the bladder is unable to hold urine for as long as needed, until it can be
released voluntarily. This condition is known as incontinence. It's not a disease in

Question:
What is stage 1 of leukemia? Is this possible cured?
by Kathy Jan 09, 2008
Answer:
The cancer stages are based on the size of the tumor and how far from the original site in the
body the cancer has spread. Unlike other cancer types, leukemia already involves all the bone
marrow in the body, and in many cases, has spread to other organs such as the liver, spleen, and
lymph nodes. So staging leukemia depends on many other information that reflects the patient's
outlook for survival, such as type and how disease has progressed.
Please go to our forum and give us more details. To ask for your doctor advice is another good option.
Question:
I have very big problem of low heamoglobin. Pls tel me how can I increase my heamoglobin?
by sumi ranjan Dec 02, 2007
Answer:
Your condition means an iron deficiency. Eat more food containing Vitamin C and calcium as
they make iron more easily absorbed into your body. Foods such as beans, whole grains, spinach,
dried fruits, red meat (especially liver) have a significant iron amount. You should also
avoid drinking tea with your meals that are high in iron. Tea contains tannin that could inhibit
the iron absorption. Go to see a doctor.
Question:
Every now and then I get hard nipples, not when cold. Any ideas what
this could be?
by danielboy Nov 24, 2007
Answer:
The nipple skin is an area very rich in nerves. They can be stimulated trough various ways such as a
drop in temperature, a close fitting shirt, psychological sensual or sexual arousal, functions of internal
body processes, such as heart rate, blood pressure or an endocrine problem that could be causing a
blockage of sweat. Yet unexplained, some people experience them more often
than others. If this hardness is persistent and causes discomfort you should see a doctor.

I have a bump on my upper left thigh, right below my hipbone, on the
outside that doesnt cause pain but can be felt when I run my hands down
my side. Its not huge maybe nickel size. Should I be worried?
By Dane Klee Nov 15, 2007
Answer:
Any lump needs to be checked out by a medical professional because if it is
a malignant tumor it needs immediate attention. If it's not, and I hope that,
you will be happy to know you have nothing to worry about.
