Diana Lutz’s daughter spotted that the drug Pamprin – which is “for the temporary relief of symptoms associated with menstrual periods” – comes with the caveat that those with an enlarged prostate should seek medical advice before taking it (Feedback, 5 July). She could be forgiven for thinking that Pamprin is aimed at men who have sympathetic periods.
Feedback earlier reported suggestions that in fact some women have prostates: “…the leading peer-reviewed oncology publication, Cancer… released a study that examines the fear and uncertainty that come with prostate cancer diagnosis – particularly among men” (21 October 2006). Is a new species of human emerging?
