Chinese Government Reports Abortion Statistics
Chinese state media on Thursday reported that women in the country have about 13 million abortions annually, the AP/Houston Chronicle reports. According to the China Daily newspaper, the actual number likely is much higher because the 13 million includes abortions performed in hospitals but not unreported procedures performed in rural clinics. Most of the abortions were among single young women who experts say know little about contraception. The paper also said that about 10 million pills for medical abortion are sold annually in the country. China imposed strict population controls in the 1970s that prohibit most couples from having more than one child. For married women, sterilization and the use of intrauterine devices are widely promoted and subsidized. However, Chinese policies typically do not address the needs of unmarried women, even as national attitudes have become more accepting of sex outside of marriage, the AP/Chronicle reports. According to the newspaper, about 62% of the abortions were among unmarried women ages 20 to 29. The Chinese report called the number of abortions "an unfortunate situation" but did not indicate whether the procedures are increasing or decreasing from year to year. National Population and Family Planning Commission official Wu Shangchun is quoted in the report as saying that almost half of the women seeking abortion had used no form of contraception. Wu also said that reducing abortions is a national challenge that requires significant effort. Peking University professor Li Ying said that sex education in China must be improved at the university level and that Chinese parents must do more to teach children about sex (AP/Houston Chronicle, 7/30).

What Are Gallstones? What Causes Gallstones?

usually involves the surgical removal of the gallbladders. If is common for people who have had their gallbladder removed to experience feelings of bloating and indigestion, especially when they have a high fat meal. Some may pass stools more often than before. How can you prevent gallstones? Such factors that increase the risk of developing gallstones, such as age, sex and ethnic origin cannot be altered. However, it is possible that having a vegetarian diet may reduce the risk of developing gallstones. Vegetarians have a significantly lower risk of developing gallstones, compared to people who eat meat. Many experts say that a diet low in fat and high in fruit and vegetables, including plenty of dietary fiber may help protect people from developing gallstones. Controlling your bodyweight - not allowing yourself to become overweight/obese - may also help prevent the formation of gallstones. However, crash dieting and rapid weight loss are risk factors in the development of gallstones. An animal study indicated that exercise can reduce the risk of developing gallstones. Can we live without our gallbladder? Fortunately, we can live without our gallbladder. The liver produces enough bile to digest a normal diet. If a person"s gallbladder is removed the bile reaches the small intestine from the liver via the hepatic ducts, rather than being stored in the gallbladder. A small proportion of patients who have had their gallbladder removed will experience softer and more frequent stools for a while because their bile flows into the small intestine more often.
