Answer to Question 1

Estrogen is a risk factor for endometrial cancer. Women who have been exposed to high levels of estrogen for HRTs, those who are overweight, experienced late menopause, never had children, or who have a history of polycystic ovarian syndrome are at increased risk for endometrial cancer (American Cancer Society, 2010).

Answer to Question 2

Women with painful periods, intense cramps, heavy menses, migraines, premenstrual syndrome (PMS), epilepsy, asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, irritable bowel syndrome, and diabetes all can benefit from menstrual suppression (F. D. Anderson et al., 2006; Freeman, 2008; Merkifeld et al., 2008; A. L. nelson, 2007; Stacey, 2008). In addition, menstrual disorders are the number one cause of gynecological disease and affect millions of American women yearly (Clayton, 2008).

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
