Those within the medical community, as well as those who are not, offer metaphors to provide a conceptual understanding of diseases to people who are unfamiliar with the causes or symptoms.

Many people think that this could get classified as a disease or a disorder; however, because it doesn’t inhibit the person who has it, so they considered it a phenomenon.

Married Love was an unprecedented book, which inadvertently redefined female sexuality. Often regarded as the precursor of sex-manuals, Married Love launched Stopes’ enormously successful career as a writer. Published in 1918, Married Love reviewed the intertwining relationship of marriage, sex and contraception, which in Stopes’ view were the fundamental components of a fulfilling and rewarding marriage. Like all discourse, Married Love is heavily embedded within a distinct historical and cultural

Abstract - Over the past 100 years modern science has been responsible for some miraculous inventions to aid the delivery of medical treatment such as the x-ray machine, ultra sound technology and the cochlear implant.
