...addition, chlamydia often infects silently, with few or no initial symptoms.

The disease, after months or years, can lead to an excruciatingly painful condition called pelvic inflammatory disease and a lifelong inability to conceive children...
When I told my wife, who is also 52, about my day-long physical, she wondered if she would have had the same experience. Not exactly. A mammogram, pelvic exam and Pap smear are obvious differences.

In addition, recent research has shown that women...
...tank tops and billowy white pants, while the women wear either two-color fluttery gowns resembling beach cover-ups, or bathing beauty-style suits and hair kercheifs. All this, added to robotical pattering about and (mostly womens' and a few mens') writhing on the floor due to various mens' pelvic gyrations, makes for an eccentric but appreciated appearence onstage...
