African-Americans or those with a family history of colon cancer should schedule their first colonoscopy at age 45. If your initial colonoscopy is clear and there are no polyps detected, you should schedule your next colonoscopy in 10 years.
âRemember, women are born with all the eggs they are ever going to have, and they donât make any new eggs during their lifetime. Women are born with approximately two million eggs in their ovaries, but about eleven thousand of them die every month prior to puberty.
This is because every woman has millions of eggs or, more specifically, follicles that mature into eggs inside her body when she is born. By the time she reaches puberty, though, the number of these follicles drops down to about 300,000 to 400,000.
