Endometrial Cancer (uterine cancer)
Too much estrogen is being produced where a bundle of cancerous cells form the uterus.

My siblings and I will have a greater chance of developing both of the cancers later in life. Aging, being overweight, having hereditary family history, etc.,  are risk factors for developing this ovarian cancer.

For Endometrial Cancer the risk factors are obesity, diet and exercise, Type II Diabetes, and using birth control. Some birth control can higher the risks for this cancer. These few factors can develop endometrial cancer. My older sister has a higher chance of getting endometrial cancer because she is obese and has Type II diabetes. She would fall into the above average category for this cancer than my younger sister and I.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding can lower the risk for ovarian cancer and endometrial cancer. My mom and my older sister struggled with breastfeeding because we were lactose intolerant, where they both had to switch to formula. This is a disadvantage to my sisters and I because this prevention would not help us in the future.

Another prevention for ovarian cancer is using contraceptives. This can help me lower my chances of developing the cancerous cells . My sister's bodies fight contraceptives. They used different types of birth control and their bodies will reject the medicine.

I have a few family members that have Type II Diabetes. I am below average for developing this chronic disease. Being overweight and living an unhealthy lifestyle will increase my risk for having it. According to CDC, African Americans and other ethnicities and having siblings with this disease are at a higher risk for developing this disease.

Unknown risk
Some injuries like fractures or sprains can trigger RSD. This can result in decrease in motor reflexes, swelling in the joints, and increased skin sensitivity to touch.  Scientists have not done a laboratory test to diagnose patients with RSD.

In order to prevent Type II Diabetes, I can exercise daily by walking everyday for 30 minutes. Another prevention would be eating less processed food and focusing on foods that have low calories and high in fiber will decrease my risks. Examples would be whole grains, fruits, and vegetables.

There is no possibly prevention to avoid RSD. When the sympathetic nervous system is malfunctioning, there are ways to treat it. If the RSD is minor, the physician will prescribe medication to their patients. If the pain is intolerable, surgery is another option to treat it.
