smoking, alchol use, and poor nutrition
Environmental factors
exposure to radiation, excessive sun, aspestos and other specific occupational hazards
What is radiation therapy
When radiation is aimed at the tumor in an effort to destroy it

What are mammograms
weak x-rays used to examine breast tissue in order to try to detect breast cancer
no agreement on the exact age in which individuals should start having mammograms however the earlier breast cancer is detected the better the chance of survival.
Describe the risk factors for breast cancer
If you had a mother who had breast cancer- suggests that you could carry BRAC1 or BRRAC2 gene
If you are over the age of 30 and especially if you are at the age of 40 (95% of new breast cancer cases are detected at age 40)
What are the general reccomendations for mammograms
Individuals are generally reccomended to start undergoing them at age 30. Individuals whose mother had breast cancer or who are confirmed to have the BRAC1 or BRRAC2 gene are recommended to get one a year after they pass the age of 40, from the age of 50-69 individuals are reccomended to get one every 2 years and then for individuals 70 and up it is up to them and their doctors to determine how often they should get mammograms
3 bad things happen in 3s good to start checking once you reach the 3s, standard family 4 people if there is the gene from mother (key figurein nuclear familY) then it is recomended that you get one every year (happens as much as birthday from which came from mom)
50-69, (5 lucky number for me 69 fun number fun as in can decrease to getting one once every 2 years) 7 heaven - might not have to worry about it anymore up to individual and doc to decide fi they should keep getting mammograms
What are some concerns regarding frequent mammograms
potential false positives
What are some of the findings related to AI and mammograms
Some studies have shown that artificial intelligence have been able to identify cancer in breast tissue similarly to highly trained professionals
What is the climacteric period?
clima - like climax associated with sex (climaxing) - sex- reporductive organs and teric like tear so torn from climax going back down - refers to the decreases related to reporductive organs that come with age
for women
so the climax to when you can be a matriarch (mother has) occured and it is starting to tear end- climateric refers to the period where a womens fertility is coming to an end

usually by 47-48 women start to experience occurances of menestration that are both irregular and decreased for a duration of two years. Notably this can begin as early as 40 or as late as 60
What is menopause considered as and when on average does menopause occur

menopause generally occurs in a womans 40s-50s. (me range - I have not had my period in a year)
Women who have gone through menopause can still get preganant if eggs are implanted in them (makes sense as its that they no longer drop their own eggs - how would this egg be dropped or is it implanted into the cervix?)
What is perimenopause
Can occur ten years before menopause (which is defined as when a woman has gone one year without a period) and involves women’s levels of estrogen and progesterone decreasing
This can lead to women experiencing surges of heat above their waists (hot falshes)
What are some of the physical symptoms that accompany perimenopause and menopause
hot flashes, body aches headaches, dizzyness and heart palpitations are all reported to occur frequently during menopause
50% of women experience hot flashes ( you pms like a chick trust me I would know - hot and cold chicks in theory are 50% of the pop - 50% of chicks experience hot flashes during menopause)
10% of women report being in severe distress during menopause
What can influence women’s experiences of menopause and perimenopause
their perspective on menopause going into it. If they see menopause as just another stage of life and are less quick to attribute physical symptoms and mood swings to it then they will be less likely to have a less bad psychological experience of menopause compared with women who believe that it will be challenging going into it and who are more likely to attribute physical symptoms and mood swings to it
Describe the climacteric period for men
Climacteric clima like climax (climaxing associated with sex which is associated with reproductive organs and climax is like the peak of something) teric like tear down- begging to tear down reprodcutive organs capabilities - refers to the period in which capabilities related to reproductive organs physically decrease and also includes psychological changes (potentially brought on by physiological changes - ie changes in the levels of hormones)
Decreases in the ammount of sperm however men throughout middle adult years can still father children
10 % of men experience enlarging of the prostate gland at the age of 40 and 50% of men experience enlarging of the prostate gland by the age of 80 (40 is half of 80 when this change is first mentioned - half bc half of men at 80 experience this change) . The prostate gland is walnut sized, is in front of the rectum and between the bladder and the penis. The urethra goes through the prostate gland and takes urine from the bladder through the prostate gland to the penis.
The prostate gland also creates the fluid that nourishes and protects sperm which is then pushed out of it and into the urethra as semen when ejaculation occurs.
The enlarging of the prostate gland results in difficulty urinating as well as more frequent urination occuring at night
pro state if are pro state you are standing in front of the rectum of a walnut size of pop that makes decisions surrounded by dicks and pissbabie s(wlnut sized gland in front of the rectum and inbetween the penis and the bladder)

The rates of erectile dysfunction tend to increase with age can be treated using drugs like viagra and testesterone patches
What occurs to the weekly rates in which couples in the age range of 45-59 have sex

1/2 of couples within the age range of 45-59 have sex more then once a week
reasons for this can include family responsibilities, vareer responsibilities, less energy and physical
in men can take longer to achieve an erection and return to one after orgasaming - rates of sexual dysfunction also increase. Additionally the ammount of testosterone produced and fluid ejaculated lessens
in women the vaginal walls thin and become less elastic which can result in a decreased interest in sex, drugs, topical creams, testosterone patches can be used to help prevent the vaginal walls from thinning.
What are common sexual challenges can impact adults in the age range of 40-80 and what are the rates in which these occur
22% of men report experiencing premature ejaculation and 26% (wehave 22 and 33, 21 which = 3 and 26 (making it the 3rd 2 we have and 2x3 =6 which is the ones) of men experience erectile challenges
