🌙 Up to 40% of women in perimenopause report sleep problems. Progesterone may help some — often more effective with estrogen. 💡 Don’t suffer in silence. There are options. Learn more @drselkdownthere on instagram #Perimenopause #MenopauseHealth #SleepHealth

A nationwide study suggests infections with human papillomavirus (HPV) types 16 and 18 have been virtually eliminated since vaccination began in 2008 – protecting even unvaccinated women.

HPV causes more throat cancers in men than women — but most people don’t know. The HPV vaccine protects against these cancers. 💉 Awareness saves lives. Prevention saves more.
