Sex Toy Health

Sex is definitely healthy and now and then it needs to be spiced up. Sex toys are definitely one way to spice up your sex life, and sex toy stories.seem to be abounding. No need to wonder where to get them, as you can buy them at tea parties, in your spa catalogs, at your gyno's office or Walgreens, women are enjoying options for sexuality that they never had before! Sex toys are often recommended by gynos. They can be very successful dilators, they can bridge gaps between partners or when your partner is on a trip, they can help with Kegal's exercise, just to name a few obvious benefits. Vaginal dilators are prescribed by gynecologists for chronic infections and vaginal pain with intercourse, for women with bladder pain conditions, for women with lichen sclerosus and for women with vulvodynia or vaginitis. For the most part, there are specific medically sized dilators that are used, but in fact you can get some double duty from your sex toys. But being safe, and making sure that you get sexual and vaginal concerns properly evaluated is very important. Like other industries sex toys come with better labeling than they've had in the past, so do pay attention to the labels. Not using them if you have acute pain, infections, or undiagnosed bleeding are the main warnings. Other things to consider: 1. Your age, 2. Your estrogen levels, 3. the presence or absence of orgasms, 4.Cleanliness, all the way around (clean hands, clean toys), 5. Chemical sensitivities, if you are using harsh chemicals as cleaning aids you may develop sensitivities, 6. Shaving or creams for removing hair. Age matters you ask, yes, if you are post menopausal, very dry and have not had sex for a long time, get an appointment first to be checked for what is called atrophic vaginitis. Treatment of atrophy is often relatively quick and very successful. The treatments will increase the nerve endings of the vagina, increase the pliability of the vaginal walls, and increase secretions that help the process of using a toy work. Estrogen levels vary for all sorts of reasons and if your estrogen level is chronically low (like someone one DepoProvera for instance, you may have more difficulty with sex and sex toy use. Vaginal bacterial, but this means you need the good bacteria as well as no presence of bad bacteria, so if you are having difficulties using a sex toy, it's a reason your gyno may have to check you for infections. And make sure the toys are clean each time, and after each use, any surface with crevices has to be dried properly before storage or excess bacteria may accumulate. Proper attention to shaving techniques will also minimize bacteria around the vaginal area and will help minimize the chance of breakouts in the hair follicles where you have shaved, and then sex and sex toy use will not aggravate shaving rashes.  Women have to be as much in shape for their toys as their partners! As for size, shape, and features: that's a whole wide world of options, and most are perfectly safe!

Passing Your Uterine Lining, Menstrual Period Norms

Decidual Cast Periods can be fairly easy, passing some tissue at a time, or off can come the whole lining in one piece called a decidual cast. Generally the lining of the uterus is only 6-8 mm thick at the time of the menstrual period, and it is shed gradually, a few cells at a time. The decidual cast is when the entire lining passes spontaneously.  It's not uncommon, but it usually both uncomfortable, and alarming to some. But us women are designed to have some sort of periods  Or Not? We have to pass tissue each month. Or Not? Are they good for us? Or Not? Do we want them? Or Not? Is this something that is individual? Or Not? It's a complex topic that I will be discussing a lot over my time in this blog. So lets start with basics: How much do we bleed and what are we loosing, and just what was this that the patient passed? And another basic: track your periods, and the Women's Health Practice site http://www.womenshealthpractice.com/media/pdf/menstrual_chart.pdf you...

Post-Endometrial Ablation Syndrome

If you have had an endometrial ablation and have developed symptoms of pelvic pain you might have post endometrial ablation syndrome. What is post-endometrial ablation syndrome? It is a constellation of symptoms due to entrapped blood or tissue within a uterus that has previously undergone an endometrial ablation. We are able to diagnose this at Women's Health Practic e but occasionally other conditions are causing similar symptoms. Other complications of endometrial ablation include pregnancy, risks from pre-existing conditions such as a polyp or fibroid, an infection of the uterus, or a pregnancy. If you have had a tubal ligation then it is possible that the condition could be post-ablation tubal sterilization syndrome. The ablation procedure is designed to destroy all lining tissue, but in fact there is no way to confirm the completeness of the ablation. It is thought that either residual or regrowth of the tissue is producing the symptoms of post-endometrial ablation syndrom...

You Have an IUD: But a Positive Pregnancy Test

Fortunately IUD pregnancy failures are rare. But if you have an IUD for contraception, and you get a positive pregnancy test, you probably ask yourself, what next? Well, make your gyno appointment promptly, this is a condition that is not typically an emergency, but it can be and it’s not handled over the phone or on a blog, or through self diagnosis! That being said, some researchers from University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas decided to look back at over 4100 women who had IUDs and of those 42 cases who became pregnant in their institution, over about a year period of time, to help understand what these women could expect when they got to their gyno and what actually happened to their pregnancies. Accurate pregnancy diagnosis, pelvic examination, and pelvic ultrasound were the cornerstones of the evaluations. They had very specific ways they looked at their ultrasound to prove there was no pregnancy in the fallopian tube, or partially in the fallopian tube...
