Any abdominal operation sets the stage for a possible bowel obstruction the lifetime frequency of which is approximately 8%. Vitamin and mineral deficiencies can occur if calcium, B12, and iron supplements are not taken as prescribed. Less commonly protein deficiency can occur.

There is no evidence that these lasers have any untoward long-term effects. The wave lengths used do not appears to cause any long-term side effects.

No! Over the first 15 years that this laser has been performed, there have been no progressive or long term changes that would lead one to believe that there would be any changes in the next 10 or 20 years.

Since most men live for a long period of time after a vasectomy, it has been possible to investigate thoroughly, the possibility of long-term health risks associated with vasectomy. Over 10 studies have evaluated more than 20,000 men who have had vasectomies, documenting their progress for up to 25 years after the procedure. The data indicates that men having a vasectomy are no more likely to develop cancer, heart disease or other health problems.

The February 17, 1993 issue of the Journal Of The American Medical Association contained 2 studies (by the same research group) that suggest that vasectomy was associated with a small increased risk of prostate cancer in their study groups (almost 30,000 patients in 1 study and almost 40,000 patients in the other study).

According to The International Society for Transcranial Stimulation, in an article 'Managing the Risks of Repetitive Transcranial Stimulation' published in CNS Spectrums, "The long-term risks of rTMS are not known. However, the limited data available at this time (2002) from repeated application of high intensity, time-varying magnetic fields to humans, as in magnetic resonance imaging, do not suggest that they are significant."[2]

Excess weight severely impacts your body. It crushes the heart, taxes the lungs and kidneys, and damages knees and hips. Morbid obesity can cause an increased risk of heart disease, cancer, diabetes and other illnesses which can lead to premature death.

Men having a vasectomy are no more likely to develop cancer, heart disease or other health problems. The National Institutes of Health, the Association for Voluntary Surgical Contraception (AVSC International), and the National Cancer Institute reaffirmed the conclusion of most medical experts that vasectomy is safe and effective.

PCOS is associated with increased risk for endometrial hyperplasia, endometrial cancer, insulin resistance, type II diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and heart disease.

No. Muscular electrostimulation and electrotherapy have been in general use for decades and no problems have ever been reported.

The ingredients in air fresheners are routinely evaluated to ensure that the levels of exposure from product use or foreseeable misuses are far below the level that would pose significant risks. This includes assuring that fragrance materials do not present risks of adverse health effects. Information on the testing of fragrance materials by independent scientists can be found at the web site of the Research Institute for Fragrance Materials – www.rifm.org.

Some common side effects include excessive urination, thirst and overeating. When given for long periods of time, steroids can affect vital organs, leading to problems such as Cushing's syndrome, muscle breakdown, compromised kidney function and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Because of these side effects, many pet owners want to avoid giving steroids to their dogs.

Chronic poor health, osteoporosis due to calcium malabsorption, infertility, miscarriages, depression, dental enamel defects and an increased risk of gastrointestinal and oesophageal carcinoma. In children, undiagnosed coeliac disease can cause lack of proper development, short stature and behaviour problems.

For decades now, doctors have been prescribing millions of women HRT drugs to help them with the symptoms of menopause. The recent study for HRT drugs was not started until congresswomen and women's groups lobbied for more attention paid towards improving women's health care. Congress, in response, appropriated money for a new research initiative at the National Institutes of Health.
