Category : Womens Issues

In today’s world women have become very much informed about the dangerous side effects of breast enhancement surgery and many of them are now looking for alternative form of medicine which is safe and does not possess any chances of side effects. Those times are gone when women were willing to take chances with cosmetic surgery and suffer from its adverse side effects. In this article we are going to discuss about some of the ways through which breasts size can increased without causing any harm to the body.

In the first place as I think a woman should be content with whatever breasts size she has, if everyone accepts this reality then there would be no need to write articles on ways to get a bigger breast size but as we know we do not live in an ideal world and there are always comparisons being made and everybody wants to look better than others.

The good news for women is that there are a wide variety of natural methods available now which can help you enhance your breasts size without undergoing the surgical procedure.

Ways To Get Bigger Breasts

1. Improve Your Posture This is the first and the most important part of improving your overall personality. A woman who walks with her head held high, shoulders spread back and a tucked in tummy will have her breasts appear larger than they actually are and will also help in preventing diseases related to posture like osteoporosis and scoliosis.

2. Massage It is also a very effective method to enhance the size of breasts. Massaging the breasts regularly with herbal creams or oils help in improved blood flow to the area which is essential for normal growth of breasts.

3. Exercise There are some very effective exercises for breast enhancement namely push ups against the wall and dumb bell press with not very heavy weight. Another benefit of exercising is that it helps in increasing estrogen levels in the body which is essential hormone for normal growth of breasts in women.

4. Diet Eat green leafy vegetables and carrots as both of them have estrogen levels. In China women take help of chicken head soup as it is considered a rich source of estrogen.

5. Herbal Medicines There are also a number of herbs which can help in enhanced breasts size. As we know small breasts size is due to deficiency of estrogen in the body hence women are administered herbs which are rich in estrogen hence they naturally help in increasing the size of breasts without causing any other undue changes in the body.

What Causes Pelvic Inflammatory Disease?

Category : Womens Issues

Simply put, Pelvic Inflammatory Disease is characterized by anything which may cause inflammation within the uterus, fallopian tubes or ovaries. This means that PID can have a wide range of causes from STIs (Sexually Transmitted Infections) to post-surgical issues to the IUD (Intrauterine Device). PID affects nearly 1 million women each year and nearly 10%-15% of these women may become infertile due to the disease. The remaining become more susceptible to ectopic pregnancies (pregnancies occurring outside of the uterus, usually in the fallopian tubes). These pregnancies are not viable and although over half will resolve themselves naturally without treatment, the other half may become extremely dangerous, or even life-threatening if left untreated.

PID is primarily caused by bacterial infections, but can also begin as viral, fungal or parasitic infections. The infection will generally start out in the vagina. Within the vagina the infection is able to flourish and multiply. If left untreated, the infection can then spread to other parts of the reproductive system, such as the the uterus or, from there, the fallopian tubes and even the ovaries.

The infection presents the greatest threat when it has spread to the fallopian tubes because once the infection begins to create scar tissue within the fallopian tubes it will quickly create blockages due to the narrow openings. These blockages is what causes infertility in women or lead to dangerous ectopic pregnancies.

Causes of Pelvic Inflammatory Disease:

STIs

Although not the only cause, STIs are a large contributor to the development and prevalence of PID today. This may be specifically related to the rise in cases of STIs in general. Since 1997, for instance, the number of cases reported annually of Chlamydia has increased over 100% from about 500,000 cases annually to over 1.2 million cases reported annually. Contradictory to that, the number of reported cases of Gonorrhea reported annually has remained mostly steady at around 300,000 cases reported annually.

Since both Chlamydia and Gonorrhea typically show now signs or symptoms, it is no mystery why these can develop into PID so easily. So the first and most effective means of preventing PID through an STI is simply using protection during sexual intercourse and/or, if you’re having unprotected sex, having regular gynological exams. It is our job and it is our opportunity to decrease the spread of these STIs significantly by asking our partners to wear a condom. If we can prevent the spread of these diseases by even a factor of 50% then it is certain we will see a similar reduction in the number of cases of PID each year, not to mention a sharp decrease in the number of ectopic pregnancies as well.

IUD

Initial research surrounding the IUD indicated that the instance of PID in women using an IUD was much higher than what more recent research has shown. It is believed that there was a lack of control of the groups used in the initial research, meaning the results could have shown much more drastic results than what the IUD actually causes. The more recent research has indicated that the IUD only introduces a risk of PID if an untreated STI such as Chlamydia or Gonorrhea is present. In these cases, the IUD would act to accelerate or ensure the onset of PID. For this reason, it is essential that the patient has their gynecologist perform a pelvic exam prior to the insertion of the IUD. After the first month of being inserted, the IUD will present no further threat.

Postpartum PID

PID occurs in Postpartum women in approximately 1% of cases. Once again, the most common cause of this is STIs. Due to the unique changes to the body and hormones, the women is more susceptible to STIs during the 12 months following pregnancy. For this reason, it is even more important to have regular gynecological screenings in the 12 month period following your pregnancy.

However, that is not the only cause. If you encountered any complications during the pregnancy or during delivery, this may also cause PID. In the event that a complication should cause scar tissue to develop within the reproductive system, it is possible for PID to also occur. For this reason, if you had complications during your pregnancy, during delivery, or following delivery, you should consult your gynecologist for a more thorough exam.

Postabortal PID

Similar to Postpartum PID, if a pregnancy is terminated or if the woman experiences a miscarriage the body may be more susceptible to STIs following due to a change in the hormones within the body. However, due to the procedure involved with terminating a pregnancy, there may be an increased risk of infection or an increased risk of damage within the reproductive system which could cause additional scarring.

Can Pelvic Inflammatory Disease Be Cured?

Since PID is merely the inflammation experienced from the infection, PID itself can be cured. However, the scarring created within the reproductive system by the infection may be permanent. This will depend largely on how long the infection was allowed to spread without being treated and also the severity of the infection.

In the event that PID causes infertility in the woman there are a couple options. First, tuboplasty may be used to restore normal reproductive function. Tuboplasty is a surgical procedure used to correct an obstruction or abnormality with the fallopian tubes and may help a woman restore normal reproductive function. With medical advancements, Tuboplasty is becoming a more accepted procedure for handling PID as success rates are generally between 50-70%. If the infection spread further, into the ovaries, and tuboplasty is not possible, or if tuboplasty is not an option for some other reason, then IVF is still a viable means of becoming pregnant. IVF (Invetro Fertilization) is the procedure of implanting a fertilized egg within the female. Success rates of IVF will vary depending on a number of factors, including age. On average, women under 35 saw a success rat of approximately 34% with IVF compared to a 27% success rate for women over 35.

Even if PID is cured, regular screening would be recommended on an ongoing basis as the woman may become more susceptible to chronic PID.

Final Thoughts

Pelvic Inflammatory Disease may be one of the scariest causes of infertility in women for no other reason than the fact it affects 1 million women annually. Some people might say that we can’t live our lives in fear, but that’s not what I’m suggesting. The fact is that PID causes more cases of infertility in women annually than anything else, yet is entirely preventable. As women we need to take a stand for ourselves and understand that with our actions alone we can drastically decrease the instances of PID annually simply by reducing the cases of STIs such as Chlamydia and Gonorrhea by practicing safe sex. Also, as parents I feel it is our duty to talk to our kids about sex, and safe sex, and remove the negativity we associate with sex and, instead, have them understand the great responsibility that comes with having sex and the dangers of having unprotected sex. Then, if we take that same understanding and that same responsibility to heart, PID will become a much less devastating cause of infertility in women. In the end, it is our choice that makes a difference.

Ovarian Cysts – A Variety of Treatment Options

Category : Ovarian Cysts

Ovarian cysts are sacs filled with fluid and they are formed if the egg is not released during the woman’s menstrual cycle. They are very common among women of all ages. The most typical types of cysts are follicular cysts. They are usually harmless and generally disappear after ovulation.

Corpus Luteum cysts are less common. They develop after the egg is released during the menstrual cycle. They are more common in smokers. Endometriomas, also known as chocolate cysts, are the third type of ovarian cysts. They can cause adhesions and lead to extreme pelvic pain.

If a woman suspects that she has ovarian cysts, and they are starting to bother her, it is wise to meet a physician. Common symptoms include irregular menstruation, pain during sex, and pain in the abdomen and pelvic areas.

Diagnosing a cyst is usually done through trans-vaginal ultrasound. Other methods can also be used such as CT or MRI. Once diagnosed a physician will determine which ovarian cyst treatment is best for the specific patient.

One typical treatment for ovarian cysts is to start taking birth control pills. In this way, a hormonal imbalance can be corrected. Also, painkillers may be prescribed to relieve the pain when it starts.

Sometimes a surgery is required. In the case where both ovaries are full of cysts, the only option might be the removal of both ovaries (oophorectomy).

Also, in those cases where the cyst is over six centimeters, or doesn’t disappear over time, a surgery may also be required.

Anytime a mass appears and it is thought to be cancerous a physician will have the ovary removed. This might include a young girl who has never had a menstrual period or an older woman who has already been through menopause.

After removing the ovary it will be tested for malignant cells. Other ovary is often tried to save that the patient is able to have children in the future.

Surgery should always be the last option in treating ovarian cysts since all cyst removals involve some risks. In an ovarian cyst removal bowels and bladder are at risk of getting damaged. It can also cause some complications, such as infections and serious pain due to scar tissue that may develop. This is the reason why the whole ovary is sometimes removed in more serious cases.

Laparoscopy is a small operation and it doesn’t take long to recover. The patient can often go home within the day after the operation. This technique can be used if the cysts are small enough.

A traditional laparotomy may be used if the mass is too large or cancer is suspected. This requires a longer recovery. The patient may be in the hospital anywhere from 4 to 7 days and it will be at least 4 to 6 weeks before any heavy lifting can be done.

Generally, ovarian cysts are harmless. However, if they cause some problems for a woman they usually can be treated by an OB/GYN.

Several Methods for Pregnancy Prevention

Category : Pregnancy

There are several ways to prevent pregnancy as there are a wide range of contraceptive measures available on the market that help prevent pregnancy as well as sexually transmitted diseases. However, contraception like any other medical procedure has advantages as well as disadvantages.

One method of preventing pregnancy such as the calendar month method are based on the theory that the chances of falling pregnant between the 11th and 15th of a woman’s menstrual cycles is minimal.

However, this method of contraception is only effective if the women have a regular 28 day menstrual cycle. In addition such precautions will not protect women from STD infections. Another method of preventing pregnancy is to make use of vaginal washing using a syringe and a solution that kills off the sperm. This method also presents with disadvantages as the washing not only kills the sperm but also the natural micro flora which can result in a series of health problems such as thrush and dysbacteriosis.

Another way to prevent pregnancy is coitus interruptus which means the man will pull out of the vagina just before ejaculating which means avoiding sperm entering the vagina. This is also not a guaranteed method as during intercourse men release a liquid that comprises of around ten to twenty million spermatozoon and the release of this liquid cannot be controlled. This preventative method is anecdotally said to cause men and women to become frigid or impotent.

Other methods used are gels, creams, suppositories and spermicidal devices. These preventative methods are placed directly into the vagina before having sex. The functioning phase of these contraceptive methods last for around ten to twelve hours and are effective in preventing pregnancy. However, these contraceptive methods over time will destroy the natural micro flora of the vagina. These methods are also effective in preventing STD infections and microbes.

One of the most popular methods of preventing pregnancy is the use of condoms which are reliable if correctly used and will guarantee prevention of pregnancy of around ninety to ninety nine percent. However, if condoms are torn or used incorrectly this could result in pregnancy. There are also female condoms which are difficult to use but will prevent pregnancy. In addition another way of how to prevent pregnancy is by making use of a diaphragm. This means is highly effective but does not prevent STD or microbes infections.

The use of contraceptive pills also prevents pregnancy and this method is easy to use. The contraceptive pill is also used to regulate a women’s menstrual cycle, relieves PMS and helps teenagers suffering from acne. However, contraceptive pills can cause side effects such as swollen sore breasts, depression, headaches and do not prevent STD infections.

Hormone injections are another effective way on how to prevent pregnancy which works in the same way as contraceptive pills. Another effective method is to have a intrauterine device inserted which has proved to be ninety nine percent effective although extra uterine pregnancies have been reported. This device can cause erosion as well as infections.

As with anything medical, if you are unsure or have questions, don’t hesitate to see your doctor.

Yeast Infection Test, Symptoms and Diagnosis

Category : Yeast Infections

A vaginal yeast infection can be irritating, embarrassing and painful for women to endure. It is created by an over abundance of fungus in the vaginal area that has common symptoms like by vaginal discharge and burning. To determine if you have one, you can simply get a yeast infection test.

These are easy to find and purchase from local drug stores and are inexpensive. Many experts recommend however to schedule a visit with your family physician or gynecologist. By doing this you can be proactive with your health and routinely monitor your body.

These infections, also known as candidiasis, are quite common in most women and most often can be treated easily. It begins with a fungus known as candida. Candida actually is present in very small portions within the gastrointestinal tract, mouth and vagina. If this fungus exists within the vagina then a yeast infection will develop. Once this happens, it is pretty evident and noticeable to the individual because of the uncomfortable vaginal discharge, itching and burning.

These issues can be brought upon by the use of contraceptive sponge, spermicides, diaphragms and the use of certain antibiotics. Other things that may bring on these symptoms are the use of vaginal rings, hormonal birth control pills, or using the birth control patch.

The majority of women will have at least one occurrence of a vaginal yeast infection within their lifetime. A common yeast infection test can help detect the need for medication. Women can commonly experience these irritations during pregnancy. What attributes these flare ups are the presence of higher levels of estrogen during pregnancy. The vagina then produces excessive glycogen, or sugar. This then feeds and creates yeast. Also, those that suffer from diabetes tend to get infections with more frequency.

Approximately five to eight percent of women can develop what is known as recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis. This is a recurring episode of yeast infections within the period of one year. It is most common in women who struggle with diabetes or who have immune system issues. Many of these women typically do not have any other medical illness that would indicate or lead up to having these infections.

These vaginal infections at times can be attributed to bacterial vaginosis. This is the most frequent cause of vaginitis for women who are still within the age for childbearing. Women can also be at risk for trichomoniasis. This, however, is an infection that is sexually transmitted. Trichomoniasis and bacterial vaginosis are can be related to more complicated reproductive health issues. This includes an increased risk of contracting an STD, or sexually transmitted disease or even experience the premature birth of a newborn fetus.

These serious infections can have very similar symptoms to normal vaginal yeast infections, yet have much more serious reproductive issues. It is very critical to to visit a health care professional or physician and have them perform a yeast infection test. By doing this they can help to diagnose and evaluate all symptoms of the vagina. There are many medications that can treat the most common vaginal infections. The most important thing to do however is to receive a proper diagnosis.

Birth control pills help increase a woman’s level of estrogen and progesterone while decreasing her levels of testosterone. Birth Control pills can help regulate a woman’s menstrual cycles and decrease unwanted hair growth and acne.

Many women who have PCOS are overweight and this can further increase the risk of complications. Health experts have found that women who lose as little as ten or fifteen pounds can help correct the hormonal imbalance.

They also recommend that women who are looking to lose weight eat a diet that is filled with fruits, vegetables and whole grains. Daily exercise is also highly recommended.

As mentioned above, Polycystic Ovary Syndrome is the leading cause of female infertility. However, this doesn’t mean that a woman with PCOS cannot have children. There are plenty of examples about women who have successfully conceived after losing some weight. Unfortunately, there are also women who are not able to get pregnant, and these women need some medical help.

Clomid and metformin are the most common drugs that are prescribed for women suffering infertility due to their PCOS. While insulin resistance can be caused by PCOS, metformin helps patient’s body to response insulin. Besides that, it also regulates a woman’s periods, and this makes it easier for her to get pregnant.

Clomid is a medication that helps induce ovulation. Many women have been able to get pregnant after taking clomid, but there is an increased risk of multiple gestation associated with taking it.

Each medicine has some or the other kind of side effect, and the same applies to breast pills. Breasts are a delicate part of a woman’s body. It is known to be very sensitive, and the tissue found in the breast region react differently to medications. Before actually using it, therefore, women need to understand the consequences and effects related to Breast enhancement pills and capsules.

Many doctors condemn the use of breast drugs, since there is no concrete proof ascertaining their efficacy. In fact, the doctor’s forum has mixed reviews regarding the use of breast medicines. enhancement products work by increasing the estrogen level in a woman’s body, thus affecting the breast tissues, helping it grow in volume and size. But in the process, the body of a woman can be affected adversely, and it is these safety concerns that need to be taken into account. Estrogen is responsible for developing and maintaining the female features. Hence, besides providing impetus to the breast tissues, it also adds to the growth of uterine tissue as well.
