Catch up on the latest health legislation, honest discussions about our bodies, and “I Have” essays from women’s personal experiences. Whether mental or physical The Frisky discusses each disease, concern, or condition to encourage open conversation.
If you noticed slightly fewer baby panda-related posts on The Frisky last week, your eyes were not deceiving you. I was out sick, or I guess I should say “in” sick, because all I did was sleep, read Gone Girl, and sleep some more. Because I’ve been a recluse from society and have no idea […]
Advancements in modern medicine have improved humanity’s lifespan and ability to combat diseases. But with so many new equipment, tools, and means to combat illnesses, the demand for doctors and medical personnel has increased tenfold, and it will only keep increasing.

I’m gonna be honest. I’m turning 30 this year and my biological clock is a-tickin’. I want kids in the next 3-5 years, partially because I don’t want to fork over any dough for fertility treatments.
