article: Mulch around the hostas will help suppress weeds, keep slugs and snails away from the foliage, keep the soil moist, and help to maintain an even soil temperature. After planting, apply a 1-inch-thick (2.5-cm) layer of coarse bark mulch around the hostas. To prevent rot, leave a 6-inch (15-cm) circle of bare soil around the base of each hosta. Hostas don't typically require any pruning, but in the late fall, you can remove dead foliage. After the foliage has turned brown and died back, trim the dead leaves from the plant and place them in your compost pile. In cold climates with harsh winters, you can place the dead foliage around the base of the plant to provide extra insulation for the winter months. Hostas are designed to survive the winter, and they actually thrive best when they have at least two months of freezing or near-freezing temperatures each year.

article: Vulvar cancer may not present any symptoms in its early stages, but some signs may be present. Identifying potential symptoms that you have can help you get a diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible. Symptoms or signs of vulvar cancer include unusual growths, itching or tenderness of the vulvar skin, and bleeding. Pay attention to the health of your vulva over time so that you know what is normal for you and can easily identify any irregularities. The exact cause of vulvar cancer isn't known, but doctors know that certain factors and behaviors can increase your risk of getting vulvar cancer. Being aware of your risk for this disease can help you recognize it and get a diagnosis and treatment in a timely manner. Your risk increases with age, with the average age of diagnosis for vulvar cancer 65. Exposure to the sexually transmitted disease human papillomavirus, or HPV, can increase you risk of vulvar cancer. Smokers may be at a higher risk for contracting vulvar cancer. Having HIV will weaken your immune system and make you more susceptible to vulvar cancer. A history of precancerous or skin conditions of the vulva, such as lichen sclerosis, can increase your risk of getting vulvar cancer. Lumps and other irregular growths can indicate vulvar cancer. Gently feeling your vulvar area with your fingers can help identify any unusual growths. Don't feel uncomfortable or self-conscious touching your vulva. You're not doing anything wrong and helping to protect your health. Gently touch the various parts of your vulva to feel for any irregular growths or anomalies such as lumps or wart-like lesions. Make sure to feel inside of the labia as well. It's a good idea to feel your vulva regularly so that you know what is normal for you. See your doctor as soon as possible if you notice any of these symptoms. Pay attention to your body for any unusual or extended itching, burning, or bleeding. These symptoms can indicate vulvar cancer, especially if they don't go away. Watch for any lingering pain in your pelvic area, in particular when you urinate or have sex. Look for any bleeding that is not related to a menstrual period, which can be a sign of vulvar cancer. See your doctor as soon as possible if you observe any of these symptoms. Vulvar cancer forms in the vulva, which is made up by the external genitals including the clitoris, labia, vaginal opening, and any surrounding skin or tissue. Examining your genitals, along with identifying symptoms, can help you recognize potential sites of vulvar cancer. Consider using a mirror to help you examine your vulva. Do regular exams of your vulvar skin so that you know what your vulva normally looks like and can easily identify any potential problems. Look for changes in the appearance of your vulvar skin such as variation in color or skin thickness. Growths that look like a wart or an ulcer can also be a sign of vulvar cancer. Vulva cancer occurs most often on the inner edges of the labia, which are the two folds of skin on the outer part of the female genitals. You can also ask your longtime partner if they've noticed any changes in your vulva. He or she may notice differences more quickly than you do. See your doctor as soon as possible if you observe any of these symptoms.

article:
Get into a comfortable position on the ground. Extend the leg you want to stretch out in front of you. Bend the knee slightly upward. Keep your other leg out in front, or pulled up closer to youwhatever's most comfortable. Reach forward with both of your hands and lightly grasp your foot just below your toes. Gently pull back on your foot so that you have to flex it as much as you can toward your body. Your toes should point back toward your body, but don't pull so much that it hurts. You can also use an exercise band or towel wrapped around the ball of your foot instead of your hands. You should feel your calf stretching, but it should not be painful. Hold the position for twenty seconds, making sure to breathe while you do the stretch. Return to the original position when you're done, and repeat with the other leg. Repeat two or three times for each leg. Isometric exercises are based on resisting forces. To do an isometric calf stretch, start in the same position as a normal seated calf stretch. When you pull back on the ball of your foot, use your calf muscles to try and straighten your leg, but don't actually move it. The force of your hands should be enough to keep your leg from straightening. Don't push or pull so hard that it hurts.
