Bladder infections, or "cystitis," are common in millions of females, and many women experience bladder infections every time they engage in sex. E. coli can be a very nasty form of bacteria, and although it is commonly found in the human intestinal tract, where it's harmless, this bacteria causes problems in the urinary tract. As a matter of fact, E. coli entering the urinary tract causes 80 percent of all urinary tract infections. The usual prescription for treating these infections is antibiotics.

The traditional face-lift's popularity is drooping, and down about 20% since 2000. Leery of the wind-tunnel look, a long recovery period and a $15,000 bill, patients are choosing subtler, cheaper and less painful procedures. A eyebrow lift, for example, smooths deep furrows in the forehead and drooping eyelids can be corrected at the same time by removing extra skin, fat or muscle from the upper and lowereyelids. Results usually last about five years. You can do a lot to maintain that youthful look without resorting to a formal face-lift.
