3 intimate habits of husbands that may increase wives’ risk of cervical cancer

By

Cervical cancer is one of the most preventable cancers in women, yet it still affects families all over the world. Many people think it only depends on a woman’s lifestyle or medical care, but a husband’s daily habits can also play a big part. When men ignore their own health or make careless choices in marriage, they can unknowingly raise their wife’s risk of cervical problems.

Some of these habits are seemingly normal, but they can quietly cause serious harm over time. Understanding and changing them isn’t just about being a better partner but about protecting a woman’s health and the wellbeing of the entire family.

Below are three common habits husbands should avoid and how simple changes can help protect their wives from cervical cancer.

1. Having Intercourse During Period

Xiao Le had been happily married for five years when she began feeling constant pain in her lower abdomen and noticed unusual bleeding. Thinking it was just stress or a hormonal issue, she ignored it. Because she and her husband were intimate often, she delayed seeing a doctor until the pain became unbearable.

After several tests, doctors gave her shocking news: stage 3 cervical cancer. They later discovered that some of the couple’s intimate habits had likely played a role. Her husband often wanted to be intimate during her period, and although Xiao Le wasn’t always comfortable, she agreed to keep the peace. Over time, this became routine.

Her doctor explained that sex during a woman’s period can be harmful because the cervix is more open and sensitive, making it easier for bacteria or viruses such as HPV to cause infection.

Xiao Le’s experience is a painful reminder that even small habits can have lasting effects. Her story also highlights how certain everyday choices men make can quietly put their partners’ health at risk.

2. Smoking

It’s easy to forget that cigarettes don’t just harm the person who holds them. Many men smoke to relax or cope with stress, but the smoke that fills the air quietly affects those closest to them, especially their wives. The woman’s immune system can weaken over time if she’s exposed to breathing in secondhand smoke. This can then make it harder for her body to fight off infections like HPV, which is the leading cause of cervical cancer.

It can also disturb her hormones and increase the risk of pregnancy complications or other diseases.

What might seem like a small habit can slowly become a shared health burden, one that endangers not just the smoker, but the person he loves most.

3. Not Using Protection During Intimacy

Men who avoid using protection can put their wives at risk of infections, including HPV. Even though these protections are highly effective when used correctly, some men refuse them, often saying they feel uncomfortable or interfere with intimacy.

Relying only on hormonal contraceptives may prevent pregnancy, but it doesn’t stop sexually transmitted infections. Over the long term, some forms of hormonal birth control have also been linked to other health risks, such as an increased chance of breast cancer. Protecting both partners means combining pregnancy prevention with infection prevention and taking care of each other’s health rather than sacrificing one for the other.

Choosing protection isn’t just a personal decision but a shared responsibility.

5 early warning signs of cervical cancer

By
Monica Pop
-

Cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer among women worldwide, according to the World Health Organization. It affects hundreds of thousands of women each year. While any woman can be diagnosed with this form of cancer, it is especially present in low- and middle-income countries where access to screening and vaccination remains limited. In 2022, an estimated 662,000 new cases of cervical cancer were diagnosed globally, and approximately 349,000 women died from the disease.

Cervical cancer starts when abnormal cells grow in the lining of the cervix. Most cases develop after a long-lasting infection with certain high-risk types of human papillomavirus (HPV), a very common virus spread through intimate contact.

If the infection doesn’t go away on its own, these viral changes can slowly turn healthy cervical cells into precancerous or cancerous ones over several years. As the disease advances, it can cause pelvic pain, painful urination, or other complications that may affect fertility, The American Cancer Society notes. Because cervical cancer usually grows slowly and may not cause early symptoms, regular screening and timely treatment are key to preventing severe outcomes.

According to NHS, some common signs of cervical cancer women should be aware of are:

1. Abnormal Vaginal Bleeding

This unusual bleeding may occur between menstrual periods, following and intimate intercourse, or after menopause as a result of weakened blood vessels that can break easily because of the cancer. While this bleeding can be a result of other symptoms or conditions, if it persists or gets worse, it is best to consult a doctor and check for cervical cancer.

2. Unusual Vaginal Discharge

While it is not unusual for women to have some vaginal discharge, if it starts looking, smelling, or feeling differently than usual, you may want to consult your gynecologists just to be sure nothing serious is taking place. In case you experience vaginal discharge, pay attention to the color (watery, light pink, or brown), the smell (a strong and a bad one), and if the discharge is heavier than usual because all these can be red flags that need to be shared with your gynecologist.

3. Persistent Pelvic Pain or Discomfort

If the pain you feel in your pelvic isn’t related to ovulation, your period, or other common causes, it can hint at cervical cancer. Always consult your doctor if the pain at this part of your body is persistent and puts pressure on your lower abdomen, it’s sharp and feels like a stabbing pain, or you feel it in your low back or your hips.

4. Pain During Intercourse

Some women experience pain during sex as one of the first unusual signs of cervical cancer. It can happen when the cervix or the tissues around it are affected, causing discomfort or soreness. This kind of pain is not something you should ignore. If you start having pain during sex that is new or happens often, it’s important to get it checked.

5. Unexplained Weight Loss and Fatigue

Unexplained weight loss and fatigue are not exclusive to cervix cancer, on the contrary, they are both common symptoms for a number of cancers and other conditions, but they also appear when a woman suffers from cervical cancer.

As with all cancers, in most cases prevention is key. In order to lower your risks of getting cervix cancer make sure you have routine screenings like PAP smears regularly, have the HPV vaccine (recommended for preteens aged 11 to 12 years), engage in safe intercourse, and maintain healthy lifestyle by having a balanced diet. Some risk factors are persistent HPV infection, smoking, a supressed immune system, this form of cancer running in the family, having multiple full-term pregnancies, and others.

When Childhood Ends in a Cell: The Shocking Truth About Juvenile Life Sentences in America

By
Monica Pop
-

She sits behind cold, unyielding metal bars — barely a teenager, with a future stolen before it began. Her only crime? Being in the wrong place at the wrong time, in a country where even children can be condemned to die behind prison walls.

The United States, often hailed as a beacon of liberty, harbors a disturbing secret: dozens of minors, some as young as 12, serve life sentences without any possibility of parole.

Childhood Lost Behind Bars

The U.S. is home to one of the world’s largest prison populations — and among them, at least 79 children under the age of 14 are locked away for life, according to research by Human Rights Watch and the Equal Justice Initiative.

These numbers have ignited a fierce debate about juvenile justice, human rights, and the ethical limits of punishment. Beneath the cold statistics lie stories of heartbreak and complexity.

Many of these young offenders come from backgrounds marred by poverty, domestic abuse, racial discrimination, and neglect. Some committed violent crimes; others were bystanders or accomplices in tragic events they neither planned nor fully understood.

A Case That Changed the Conversation

One case that captured national attention was that of Lionel Tate. At just 12 years old, he was convicted of killing a 6-year-old girl during what he described as a “wrestling game gone wrong.”

His sentence was later reduced, but his story sparked a nationwide reckoning: Should children ever be tried as adults?

Voices of Reason and Reform

“Sentencing a child to life in prison violates the most basic principles of justice and humanity,” says Juan Méndez, former UN Special Rapporteur on Torture. “Children are still developing — emotionally, mentally, and morally. To condemn them to die in prison is to deny the possibility of growth, redemption, and change.”

Still, many states argue that some crimes demand the harshest penalties — no matter the offender’s age. Florida, Michigan, and Pennsylvania lead in the number of minors serving life terms.

The U.S. Supreme Court has made progress. In 2012, it ruled mandatory life sentences for juveniles unconstitutional, and in 2016, mandated that this ruling be applied retroactively. Yet, hundreds of cases remain unreviewed, and many children sentenced before these rulings are still awaiting justice.

A Call for Change

Civil rights advocates push for restorative justice, sentence reviews, and reintegration programs — aiming to replace permanent punishment with opportunities for rehabilitation.

“Childhood should be a time for learning and redemption, not a life sentence,” says Bryan Stevenson, renowned civil rights attorney. “When we decide a child can never change, we abandon both science and compassion.”

A Nation’s Moral Reckoning

The plight of these 79 children forces America to face a harsh truth: the measure of a society’s humanity is not how it punishes its strongest, but how it treats its most vulnerable.

Conclusion

These young lives are more than legal cases — they are a reflection of a collective moral failure. When a justice system chooses permanent punishment over potential, it betrays the very idea of justice itself.

The stories of these children locked away in darkness challenge America to ask itself a painful question: If a society cannot forgive its children, can it truly call itself free?

Dog Sniffing Behavior: Natural Instinct or Something More?

By
Monica Pop
-

When it comes to personal space, many people tend to draw clear boundaries, but the truth is that those “rules” of respecting someone’s privacy don’t really apply to dogs.

Yes, dogs are the best friends a human could ever ask for. Their love and loyalty cannot be matched, that’s for sure, but they also have a few quirky habits that can catch their owners off guard, like their tendency to shove their nose where it clearly doesn’t belong.

Just as they instinctively greet other dogs by sniffing their behinds, they often extend the same curiosity to people. That’s the reason why many dogs, without a second thought, will nudge their nose right into a human’s crotch. It may feel awkward for us, but for them, it’s completely natural. So, why do dogs do it?

What many of us see like an embarrassing invasion of privacy is a dog’s way of getting to know someone better and saying “hello.”

In fact, a dog’s nose is one of the most extraordinary tools in the animal kingdom, and everyone who has ever owned a canine can tell you that.

While us humans have about 6 million scent receptors, dogs have up to 300 million which makes their sense of smell around 10,000 times stronger than ours.

What’s more, dogs possess an additional olfactory organ called Jacobson’s organ (or the vomeronasal organ), located just above the roof of their mouth. This special structure helps them detect pheromones—chemical signals that reveal detailed information about another individual, whether it’s a fellow dog, another animal, or even a human. Since that’s plenty of data to process, dogs’ brains dedicate about 40 times more space to scent than ours do, which is what makes them superheroes of smell, able to track down anything from hidden drugs to changes in blood sugar. With this in mind, it really doesn’t come as a surprise that they make extraordinary service dogs that help the ill and the vulnerable.

So, why the crotch?

Well, dogs sticking their noses in our crotches is rather awkward, but they’re not trying to embarrass us. On the contrary, it’s all about dogs being super-powered sniffers and having instincts they can’t turn off, no matter how much we want them to.

One of the reasons why dogs tend to sniff our crotch is because of sweat glands, specifically, apocrine glands. These glands release pheromones, which carry information about age, sex, mood, and even reproductive status. While dogs have these glands all over, the strongest signals come from the genitals and anus, which is why butt-sniffing is considered to be a canine handshake.

Humans also have apocrine glands, mainly in the armpits and groin, and since armpits are hard to reach, the crotch is the next best information hub for the dogs.

For breeds such as Beagles, Bloodhounds, and Basset Hounds, resisting to smell humans’ crotches is nearly impossible.

What Can Dogs Detect?

During certain situations, the smell humans release becomes stronger. Menstruation, childbirth, or even recent sexual activity can increase the release of pheromones, which makes dogs more eager to investigate. That’s also why they have a thing for underwear.

In his book How Dogs Think, Stanley Coren, PhD, explains how Australian Shepherds were once trained to sniff out cows that had just ovulated, helping ranchers time breeding more effectively. While it hasn’t been scientifically proven that dogs can reliably detect ovulation in humans, they certainly notice changes in body chemistry. This same skill is what makes them useful in medical research, including the early detection of conditions like ovarian cancer.

If you want to prevent your dog from sniffing your crotch, there are some tips and tricks vets and experts share.

However, you should have in mind that it’s more difficult to train dogs what not to do rather then what to do.

Some trainers recommend redirection rather than punishment. A reliable technique is fist targeting, where the dog learns to touch your closed hand with their nose on cue.

  • Present your fist to the dog.
  • When they touch it with their nose, immediately mark the behavior (“yes!” or click) and reward with a treat.
  • Repeat until consistent, then introduce a command such as “touch.”

Once the dog understands, you can redirect them whenever they approach someone’s groin. Because you can position the fist anywhere, it’s easy to block the behavior before it happens. Others can also offer their fist as a greeting instead of becoming the target of an awkward sniff.

Jeremy Meeks today: What ‘world’s hottest felon’ looks like at 41 

By
Monica Pop
-

Jeremy Meeks, the Blue-Eyed Bandit, took the country by storm when the Stockton Police Department posted a mugshot photo of him following an arrest in 2014 during a gang sweep called Operation Ceasefire in Stockton, California. Meeks, who had a tough upbringing and was born and raised during “the crack era” which hit USA in the late 80s and early 90s, was convicted on federal charges of being a felon in possession of a firearm and grand theft.

To the police department’s surprise, Meeks’ mugshot received plenty of comments, mostly from women, who commented on his looks.

With his light blue eyes, high cheek bones, chiseled face and tattooed neck, Meeks made many fall for him and it didn’t come as a surprise that he received plenty of offers from modeling agencies to work for them upon serving his sentence and being released from prison.

Turning his back on crime, Meeks life took a turn for the better and he has become a successful model who has walked for many of the big fashion houses and signed contracts with the best in the business, including Tommy Hilfiger and Philipp Plein.

Being son of drug addicts, with his dad killing a young mother and then taking his own life, Meeks’ early life was “very, very dark.”

“Both of my parents were heroin addicts,” he shared in a 2019 interview on the What’s Your Water podcast, “I was a heroin baby.”

Meeks’ newfound fame caused troubles in his marriage to Melissa Meeks, with whom he shares a son. The two were together for ten years, from 2008 to 2018, after which the ‘Hot Fellon’ got involved with the Topshop heiress Chloe Green who is worth around $100 million.

Meeks and Green

Allegedly, Meeks and Green started dating in 2017 and their affair was exposed after they had been photographed together on a yacht. The couple split in 2019, after Green gave birth to their son, Jayden Meeks-Green.

Back in 2020, Meeks spoke of his arrangement with his two exes and said, “I have an incredible relationship with Chloe, the mother of my 2-year-old. And now I have a relationship with the mother of my oldest son. We’re all co-parenting. They are incredible mothers.”

Meeks opened about his tough childhood

Besides being a renown model who has conquered runways and worked for huge names in the business, Jeremy Meeks has also tried himself in the film industry.

The ‘Hot Felon’ made his feature film debut in 2020 with the BET+ streaming feature Trigger. In 2021, Meeks appeared in the independent feature film Secret Society. Later on, he starred in True to the Game 2 and 3 and even launched his own clothing line after signing a $15 million deal with Fashion Concept GmbH.

Speaking of his acting experience, he confessed he fell in love with it so we are likely to see more of him in the years that follow.

In 2024, Meeks shared yet another side of himself through his autobiography, Model Citizen: The Autobiography of Jeremy Meeks. “I’m in a place in my life where I am extremely vulnerable and want to tell my story, the whole story, and hope that people can connect to it,” he said.

By 2024, he confirmed to People that he was single, saying, “I am single. I’m trying to focus on myself.”

Something strange is happening deep beneath the earth’s surface — and the planet just sent a terrifying message. Just hours ago, a violent 7.7-magnitude earthquake struck near the China–Myanmar border, leaving experts stunned at its sudden ferocity. No warning, no time to prepare — just a violent rupture that turned quiet towns into disaster zones within minutes. Could this be part of a larger chain of seismic events yet to come? Scientists are rushing to find out as rescuers scramble to save lives in the aftermath.

As the first light of morning spread across Asia, disaster struck without mercy. A massive 7.7-magnitude earthquake ripped through the region near the China–Myanmar border, jolting millions awake and unleashing chaos. What started as a faint rumble quickly escalated into violent shaking, collapsing buildings, tearing open roads, and sending terrified residents into the streets.

Within moments, the landscape transformed. Once peaceful towns became scenes of destruction — debris-strewn streets, crumbled homes, and frightened families gathering in open spaces. The U.S. Geological Survey reported the quake’s epicenter just 10 kilometers below the
surface — shallow enough to cause maximum damage. Tremors rippled far beyond the border, reaching southern China, northern Thailand, large parts of Myanmar.

Panic spread like wildfire. In cities like Chiang Rai and Chiang Mai, residents poured out of buildings barefoot, clutching children, as aftershocks rattled the ground. Emergency sirens wailed as reports of fatalities and injuries began flooding in.

Authorities confirmed dozens of deaths and hundreds of injuries within hours, with many more feared trapped under collapsed structures. Rescue crews worked frantically through the debris, hampered by blocked roads, widespread power outages, and damaged communication
networks.

Humanitarian teams have mobilized rapidly, setting up makeshift shelters, delivering medical aid, and coordinating evacuation efforts. Relief agencies are calling for urgent international support to help the hardest-hit areas as the full scale of the devastation becomes clearer.

Conclusion:

This catastrophic quake has left a scar stretching across three countries — a stark reminder of nature’s raw power. The next few hours will decide how many lives can still be saved, as rescuers race against time and aftershocks. The world is now watching closely. Will nations rally
together to deliver the aid needed, or will this tragedy deepen before help arrives? For the survivors, every passing moment counts.

Boy shares a heartfelt hug with his dog before surgery — the outcome surprises everyone

By

At just five years old, Tommy Chan faced one of the scariest moments of his life. He needed to undergo a complex life-saving open-heart surgery. The hospital buzzed with doctors, nurses, and family members. Amid the sterile smells and tense atmosphere, Tommy lay in his hospital bed, clutching a small stuffed animal, while his parents held each other, silently praying.

Tommy knew just how serious his condition was, and he also knew how complex the procedure would be. Although everyone he loved was there, he still missed someone important. “Can… Archie come to me? I might never see him again,” he told one of the nurses.

Archie was Tommy’s loyal Golden Retriever. He was the best friends a five-year-old could ever ask for. What’s more, he accompanied his tiny human every time he needed to go to the hospital for a check-up.

Pexels

Bringing a dog to a patient’s room was uncommon, but the doctors and nurses knew how much Archie meant to Tommy, so they decided to make an exception. Soon after, the dog was there, beside his human pal.

Tommy hugged Archie as tightly as he could and buried his face into the dog’s fur. For the first time in weeks, Tommy finally smiled.

And then, something unexpected happened.

Archie, who was usually calm and gentle, suddenly growled and lunged toward Dr. Hawthorne, the surgeon who was about to operate Tommy. The staff was shocked by the dog’s behavior.

However, it didn’t take long for everyone to understand why Archie acted the way he did.

The surgeon smelled of alcohol, and Archie could sense that better than the people in the hospital room.

Pexels

The hospital staff quickly realized the danger and Dr. Hawthorne was removed from the case. The surgery was postponed until another surgeon analyzed Tommy’s case and prepared for the operation, which thankfully, was a huge success.

Over the course of the days that followed, Tommy recovered, and it was all thanks to the hospital staff and his dog that prevented a possible tragedy from taking place.

Inspired by Archie’s bravery, the Chen family founded the Archie Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to bringing therapy dogs into hospitals nationwide. These dogs provide emotional support, comfort, and companionship to patients, helping reduce stress and anxiety during difficult medical experiences.

Pexels

Tommy’s story also sparked changes in hospital safety protocols, emphasizing the importance of monitoring medical staff to ensure patient well-being.

Years after his surgery, Tommy is a healthy young man who often visits hospitals with Archie. They bring hope and smiles to children facing medical challenges.

This story is yet another reminder that not all heroes wear capes, some of them come with fur and a wagging tail.

Authorities respond to serial killer rumors after 16th body found in same bayou

By
Monica Pop
-

A body was discovered in White Oak Bayou on Wednesday morning, adding to a string of recent recoveries from Houston-area bayous. With at least 16 remains found in the same location, concerns about a possible serial killer have grown. The latest body, recovered by a dive team around 9 a.m. on October 8 near Marie Street in Houston, was confirmed by Fox 26 Houston.

The body belonged to a female person. As of now, the Harris County Institute of Forensic Sciences has not determined the cause of death, but according to the authorities, no signs of foul-play were present.

The frequent discoveries of bodies disturbed the residents of Houston who fear the reason behind the discoveries could be a serial killer.

However, as speculations spread, authorities are urging the public not to believe the rumors.

Pexels

Mayor John Whitmire acknowledged that the situation is “alarming” but pushed back against “misinformation” and “wild speculation” spreading on social media. During a press conference on September 23, he stated, “We do not have any evidence that there is a serial killer loose in Houston, Texas.”

“If there was, you would hear it from me first,” he added.

Whitmire went on to say, “So, I’m before you today to let you know that enough is enough of wild speculation. It’s very frustrating to me to be at home, watch the news, or social media, and see people spread what I know to be false.”

YouTube Screenshot

The mayor explained that Houston’s 2,500 miles of waterways unfortunately contribute to a number of accidental deaths, particularly among the city’s homeless population. He noted that “friends and acquaintances do not take him to a funeral home” when homeless individuals die from illness.

He emphasized that there is no indication “to suggest that any of these incidents are connected.”

According to Fox 26 Houston, Police Captain Salam Zia, head of the homicide division, confirmed that investigators have found nothing linking the cases. “There is no evidence, and I repeat no evidence, to suggest that any of these incidents are connected,” Diaz said, stressing the need “to rely on verified information and investigations.”

The victims whose bodies have been retrieved so far have been both males and females ranging in age from their twenties to their sixties.

One of the victims was identified as 20-year-old student Jade McKissic, whose body was discovered on September 15, just days after she was reported kidnapped on September 11.

Similar fears have surfaced in Austin after several bodies were found in Lady Bird Lake over the past three years.
