I would like to know if anything can be done without surgery? A. -We -always worry about irregular bleeding. There may be a good reason for the bleeding, but we worry Unless we can find the cause. Some women have spotting at the time of ovulation which occurs, on the average, 14 days before a menstrual peri- od. Some women have spot- ting from a cervicitis, an in- flammation of the mouth of the womb, due to such things as Trichomonasvaginalis, but this type of spotting does not appear at regular intervals. It may be anytime, particularly with intercourse. Other worn - en have breakthrough bleed- ing with oral contraceptives, and, finally, there can be ab- normality developing any- where 'in the genital organs. It would be a good idea for you to let your doctor know that your problem is continu- ing. He may want to check your pelvic examination again and to repeat your Pap test: It often takesmore than one examination to find the cause. With persistent bleeding, it may be necessary to do an en- dometrial biopsy (take a sam- ple of the lining of the uterus), or a currettage (a more thor- ough scraping ), These last two procedures are minor surgery, but are the means of finding out what is happening inside the uterus. Only occa- sionally are cells from the lin- ing- of the uterus found oh the Pap smear, which scrapes just the visible cervix and the vagina.

On the other hand, folks who live in all -year mildness such as Florida or Southern Cali- fornia, plan their vacations so they can ski or enjoy snow sports. Om popular myth often heard is that "nowadays it snows less than it did years ago." Actually, weather rec- ords kept since the last half of the 1800's show That it usually averages out. Record snow- falls are still being noted, as people in Chicago discovered in 1967, or those in Tahoe, California found in 1952 when the skies shook down enor- mous quantities of flakes.
