[A]bout 25 percent of cancer patients believe there is scientific evidence that group therapy will extend their lives.
But Coyne said that studies suggesting that psychotherapy helps prolong cancer patients' lives had numerous methodological and analytical flaws.
He noted that researchers often redefined the purpose of their studies after looking at the data they'd already collected on patients.
"If these studies had been testing medications, rather than psychotherapy, no one would have paid much attention to the redefined outcome of improved survival, and leading medical journals would probably not have accepted the papers, given their other flaws," Coyne said.
what is atrophic vaginitis?
During menopause, your body can go through many changes. Some of these changes may include vaginal dryness, soreness, and pain—symptoms occurring in the medical condition known as atrophic vaginitis. The thinning and shrinking of vaginal tissues and the decreased lubrication of the vaginal walls cause this condition. Atrophic vaginitis is directly related to the loss of estrogen associated with menopause and can cause vaginal dryness, itching, or burning. Although atrophic vaginitis is not life threatening, it can affect certain activities in your life. For example, the symptoms of atrophic vaginitis can cause pain during sexual intercourse—which can have an unsettling emotional impact.
Don't feel alone. Atrophic vaginitis is a very common problem for women in their menopausal and postmenopausal years. The key is to not be silent. Talk to your partner about how intimacy could be more comfortable and enjoyable for you. And be sure to talk to your healthcare professional, too. Find out about treatments—like VAGIFEM—that can effectively help relieve symptoms.
