Whether the problem is big or small, there are many things you can do to get your sex life back on track. Your sexual well-being goes hand in hand with your overall mental, Physically

what is sex? 

On one level, sex is just another hormone-driven bodily function designed to perpetuate the species. Of course, that narrow view underestimates the complexity of the human sexual response. In addition to the biochemical forces at work, your experiences and expectations help shape your sexuality. Your understanding of yourself as a sexual being, your thoughts about what constitutes a satisfying sexual connection, and your relationship with your partner are key factors in your ability to develop and maintain a fulfilling sex life.

Talking to your partner

Many couples find it difficult to talk about sex even under the best of circumstances. When sexual problems occur, feelings of hurt, shame, guilt, and resentment can halt conversation altogether. Because good communication is a cornerstone of a healthy relationship, establishing a dialogue is the first step not only to a better sex life, but also to a closer emotional bond. Here are some tips for tackling this sensitive subject.

Find the right time to talk.

There are two types of sexual conversations: the ones you have in the bedroom and the ones you have elsewhere. It’s perfectly appropriate to tell your partner what feels good in the middle of lovemaking, but it’s best to wait until you’re in a more neutral setting to discuss larger issues, such as mismatched sexual desire or orgasm troubles.

Avoid Criticizing

Couch suggestions in positive terms, such as, “I really love it when you touch my hair lightly that way,” rather than focusing on the negatives. Approach a sexual issue as a problem to be solved together rather than an exercise in assigning blame.

Confide in your partner about

changes in your body. If hot flashes are keeping you up at night or menopause has made your vagina dry, talk to your partner about these things. It’s much better that he know what’s really going on rather than interpret these physical changes as lack of interest.

Be honest.

You may think you’re protecting your partner’s feelings by faking an orgasm, but in reality you’re starting down a slippery slope. As challenging as it is to talk about any sexual problem, the difficulty level skyrockets once the issue is buried under years of lies, hurt, and resentment.

Don’t equate love with sexual performance
Create an atmosphere of caring and tenderness;touch and kiss often. Don’t blame yourself or your partner for your sexual difficulties. Focus instead on maintaining emotional and physical intimacy in your relationship.

For older couples:

Another potentially sensitive subject that’s worth discussing is what will happen after one partner dies. In couples who enjoy a healthy sex life, the surviving partner will likely want to seek out a new partner.

Expressing your openness to that possibility while you are both still alive will likely relieve guilt and make the process less difficult for the surviving partner later.

Here are some things you can try at home.

Educate yourself. Plenty of good self-help materials are available for every type of sexual issue.

Browse the Internet or your local bookstore, pick out a few resources that apply to you, and use them to help you and your partner become better informed about the problem. If talking directly is too difficult, you and your partner can underline passages that you particularly like and show them to each others that can enhance your sex life.

Give yourself time.

As you age, your sexual responses slow down. You and your partner can improve your chances of success by finding a quiet, comfortable, interruption-free setting for sex. Also, understand that the physical changes in your body mean that you’ll need more time to get aroused and reach orgasm.

When you think about it, spending more time having sex isn’t a bad thing; working these physical necessities into your lovemaking routine can open up doors to a new kind of sexual experience.

Use lubrication.

Often, the vaginal dryness that begins in perimenopause can be easily corrected with lubricating liquids and gels. Use these freely to avoid painful sex—a problem that can snowball into flagging libido and growing relationship tensions. When lubricants no longer work, discuss other options with your doctor.

Maintain physical affection.

Even if you’re tired, tense, or upset about the problem, engaging in kissing and cuddling is essential for maintaining an emotional and physical bond.

Practice touching.

Try different positions. Developing a repertoire of different sexual positions not only adds interest to lovemaking, but can also help overcome problems.

You must be sexually aroused to be able to locate your G-spot. To find it, try rubbing your finger in a beckoning motion along the roof of your vagina while you’re in a squatting or sitting position, or have your partner massage the upper surface of your vagina until you notice a particularly sensitive area. Some women tend to be more sensitive and can find the spot easily, but for others it’s difficult.

If you can’t easily locate it, you shouldn’t worry. During intercourse, many women feel that the G-spot can be most easily stimulated when the man enters from behind. For couples dealing with erection problems, play involving the G-spot can be a positive addition to lovemaking.

Oral stimulation of the clitoris combined with manual stimulation of the G-spot can give a woman a highly intense orgasm.

Write down your fantasies.

This exercise can help you explore possible activities you think might be a turn-on for you or your partner. Try thinking of an experience or a movie that aroused you and then share your memory with your partner. This is especially helpful for people with low desire.

Do Kegel exercises.

Both men and women can improve their sexual fitness by exercising their pelvic floor muscles. To do these exercises, tighten the muscle you would use if you were trying to stop urine in midstream. Hold the contraction for two or three seconds, then release. Repeat 10 times. Try to do five sets a day. These exercises can be done anywhere—while driving, sitting at your desk, or standing in a checkout line. At home, women may use vaginal weights to add muscle resistance. Talk to your doctor or a sex therapist about where to get these and how to use them.

Try to relax.

Do something soothing together before having sex, such as playing a game or going out for a nice dinner. Or try relaxation techniques such as deep breathing exercises or yoga.

Use a vibrator.

This device can help a woman learn about her own sexual response and allow her to show her partner what she likes.

Don’t give up.

If none of your efforts seem to work, don’t give up hope. Your doctor can often determine the cause of your sexual problem and may be able to identify effective treatments. He or she can also put you in touch with a sex therapist who can help you explore issues that may be standing in the way of a fulfilling sex life.

Maintaining good health

Your sexual well-being goes hand in hand with your overall mental, physical, and emotional health. Therefore, the same healthy habits you rely on to keep your body in shape can also shape up your sex life

What is Fertility?

 Fertility is the quality of being able to produce children. As a measure, the fertility rate is the average number of children that a woman has in her lifetime and is quantified demographically.

Tests to find out the cause of infertility in women include:

1. Blood tests. Samples of your blood can be tested for a hormone called progesterone to check whether you’re ovulating. 

2. Chlamydia test. Chlamydia is an STI- sexual transmitted infection that can affect fertility. 

Ultrasound scan. 

X-ray. 

Laparoscopy.

 In general:

women are most fertile before the age of 30. After 30, women’s fertility starts to decrease.

After 35 fertility declines more significantly.

By 40, a woman’s fertility is about half the level it was before she was 30.

A woman’s peak reproductive years are between the late teens and late 20s. By age 30, fertility (the ability to get pregnant) starts to decline. This decline becomes more rapid once you reach your mid-30s. By 45, fertility has declined so much that getting pregnant naturally is unlikely for most women.

If your menstrual cycle lasts 28 days and your period arrives like clockwork, it’s likely that you’ll ovulate on day 14. That’s halfway through your cycle. Your fertile window begins on day 10. You’re more likely to get pregnant if you have sex at least every other day between days 10 and 14 of a 28-day cycle

 Common Signs of Infertility in Women

1. Irregular periods. The average woman’s cycle is 28 days long.

2. Painful or heavy periods. Most women experience cramps with their periods. 

3. No periods. It’s not uncommon for women to have an off month here and there. 

4. Symptoms of hormone fluctuations. 

5. Pain during sex.

Kidney is a part of the human body that is located around the abdomen, with one on each side of the spine. It is a bean shaped that functioned as filtering the human blood.

I do watch it on movie set that some people go for a kidney transplant and at least I’ve heard from one or two persons going for the kidney transplant.

There was a time I spoke with a trado-medical doctor about a natural way to clean our kidneys before it gets to a stage that it damages and he said ” the years go by and our kidneys always filter the blood, eliminating salt, poison and all that is harmful in our system. Over time, salt accumulates and requires cleaning treatment.”

He further said that, it is our negligence that do sprouts kidney diseases. “We do not take it serious when it comes to health” he said

So he highlighted some medical leaves that can be used while trying to flush the body system. The funny part of it is that we get these leaves or Vegetables at the comfort of our home without going too far.

Below are the natural ways to clean our kidneys as he said

“It is very easy, first take a bunch Scent leaves  ”Ewe Efinrin” in Yoruba language. (Nchuanwu in Igbo language) and wash well, then cut into small pieces and put in a saucepan and add clean water (1 liter). Boil for ten minutes, cool, filter into a clean bottle and refrigerate.

Drink one cup a day and you will see that all the salt and poison accumulated in your kidneys begin to appear when you urinate.”

This is recognized as the best cleansing treatment for the kidneys and it’s natural! 

This process is good for all ages.

HOTNESS OF THE WOMB: CAUSES AND ITS REMEDIES

Why is my womb always hot?

This was the question a patient asked from my childhood friend who happens to be a Gynaecologist. She said she had three miscarriages to hotness of the womb in fact now she has stopped trying for a baby after trying so many remedies including taking a 6 months break and trying to conceive again none of which worked.

According to the Gynaecologist, she said some women feel very hot from the inside but they have normal temperature outside the body. There are some people who sweat profusely when this internal heat begins but others don’t sweat outside, they feel the heat internally without sweating.

 Internal heat occurs irrespective of whether the atmosphere is hot or not. The excessive heat is however not good for the foetus in the womb, for one thing it won’t nourish the baby and it also hinders conception. If it’s from birth, it usually make women barren, but if it happens accidentally it could be as a result of internal and external medicines, too much hot meat, drink, and exercise.

Causes of Internal Heat in the body

Internal heat is not a disease, it’s rather a symptom or sign from your body that something is wrong but when the cause is found and treated, the internal heat stops surfacing. Here are some of the other causes of internal heat;

Dehydration

Hot atmosphere which makes it impossible for the body to regulate it’s temperature through sweating.

Improper clothing. 

Exposing the body parts in the sun can also cause internal heat.

Too much exercises

Strenuous exercises too can also cause internal heat

Drugs

Some drugs and stimulants like cocaine, marijuana can also cause internal heat

Mental and emotional stress (anxiety)

Being anxious of something or putting something in mind which might cause you to be restless can also cause internal heat

Illness

such as infections, stomach ulcer, malaria, high blood pressure, insomnia, seizures, muscular agitations, neurological disorders, rare tumors and lots more.

Your homework then is to study your body and know what triggers the internal heat as the cause varies from person to person. When you find out the cause, then you can try as much as possible to avoid it.

Tips to fight internal heat

Avoid hot and spicy food, oily and fried foods, foods rich in calcium, caffeine, alcohol, cigarette smoke.

Never wait until you are dehydrated before drinking water, have a bottle of water with you always.

Wear the right type of clothing depending on the weather

Breathe slowly and deeply

Stay in a cool environment especially at night

Home remedies for internal heat

What you need:

An immature coconut

A jar of pure honey

How to prepare;

Stick a knife or a sharp object into the coconut eye

Pour the coconut water into a cup.

Break the coconut and scoop out the coconut meat with a knife.

Pour the coconut water, coconut meat and a few teaspoon of honey into a high speed blender. Blend at low speed, then switch to high speed.

Blend until you can no longer see the pieces of coconut meat.

Use a sieve to sieve out the unblended particles.

Causes of Miscarriage in Women

WHAT IS MISCARRIAGE?

Miscarriage is the continuous loss of pregnancy. It is when an embryo or fetus dies before the 20 weeks of pregnancy.

 What are the causes of miscarriage?

1. When the fertilized egg has an abnormal number of chromosomes (genes). This happens at random, so one can’t prevent it or cause it to happen.

2. Certain illnesses, like severe diabetes, can increase the chances of having a miscarriage.

3. A very serious infection or a major injury may cause miscarriage.

4. Late miscarriages — after 3 months — may be caused by abnormalities in the uterus.

5.If there is re occurrence of more than 2 miscarriages in a row, that person is more likely to have a miscarriage.

6. Womb structure: problem and abnormalities with the womb can also lead to second trimester miscarriage.

 7. Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a condition where the ovaries are larger than normal, it is caused by hormonal changes in the ovaries.

 8.Mother’s emotional state during pregnancy, such as being stressed or depressed having a shock or fright during pregnancy also cause miscarriage.

9. Placenta problem: the placenta is the organ linking the mother’s blood supply to the baby, if there is a problem, the development of the placenta, it can also lead to miscarriage.

10. Age of the mother: Has an influence. In women under age 30,1 in 10 pregnancies will end up in miscarriage.

 11. Food poisoning: this is caused by contaminated food. It can also increase their risk of miscarriages

Type of miscarriages

1. Threatened miscarriage — when a woman has vaginal bleeding and may have mild cramps, but the cervix stays closed. Half of the time, the bleeding stops and the pregnancy goes on normally. The other half of threatened miscarriages become inevitable miscarriages, and end in pregnancy loss.

2. Inevitable miscarriage —when a woman has increased in  bleeding, and the woman cervix opens. If this happens, there’s no chance for the pregnancy to continue.

3. Incomplete miscarriage — Some of the pregnancy tissue comes out of the woman’s uterus, and some stays inside. Such woman may need follow-up treatment to remove the remaining tissues.

4. Complete miscarriage All the pregnancy tissue comes out of your uterus. It usually don’t need any extra treatments.

5. Missed miscarriage — when the woman has no cramps or bleeding. But ultrasound shows an embryo without a heartbeat or an empty pregnancy sac without an embryo. Usually the tissue passes on its own, but you may need treatment.

Miscarriages can be dangerous if they’re not treated. Call your doctor right away if you have any signs or symptoms of miscarriage.

Benefits of Good Sleep to Women’s health

 

Women seems to be the most hardworking being God created. They work almost every tick of clock. They cater for the kids, do house chores, do the cooking and many more.

All these afore mentioned keeps them awake. They have little or no rest. Where as  sleeping should be part of their life in order to prolong their longevity.

Getting enough sleep is essential for helping a person maintain optimal health and well-being. When it comes to their health, sleep is as vital as regular exercise and eating a balanced diet.

Modern-day living in Nigeria and many other countries does not always embrace the necessity for adequate sleep. Yet, it is important that women make an effort to get enough sleep regularly.

The following are some of the many benefits health professionals associate with getting a good night’s rest.

1. Better Productivity and Concentration: Research has linked getting enough sleep to better concentration, productivity, and cognition.

There were several studies that scientists did in the early 2000s that looked at the effects of sleep deprivation.

What the researchers concluded is that sleep has links to several brain functions, including:

concentration

productivity

cognition

A more recent 2015 study in the Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry showed that children’s sleep patterns can have a direct impact on their behavior and academic performances.

2. Lower weight gain risk

The link between weight gain and obesity and short sleep patterns is not completely clear.

There have been several studies throughout the years that have linked obesity and poor sleep patterns.

However, a more recent study in the journal Sleep Medicine concludes that there is no link between being overweight and sleep deprivation.

This research argues that many previous studies fail to account adequately for other factors, such as:

drinking alcohol

living with type 2 diabetes

level of physical activity

education levels

long working hours

long sedentary time

A lack of sleep may affect a person’s desire or ability to maintain a healthful lifestyle, but it may or may not be a direct contributor to weight gain.

3. Better Calorie regulation

Similarly to gaining weight, there is evidence to suggest that getting a good night’s sleep can help a person consume fewer calories during the day.

When a woman does not sleep long enough, it can interfere with her body’s ability to regulate food intake correctly.

4. Greater Athletics performance:

Getting a sufficient amount of sleep can boost a woman’s athletic performance.

According to the National Sleep Foundation, adequate sleep for adults is between 7 and 9 hours a night, and athletes may benefit from as many as 10 hours. Accordingly, sleep is as important to athletes as consuming enough calories and nutrients.

One of the reasons for this requirement is that the body heals during sleep. Other benefits include:

better performance intensity

more energy

better coordination

faster speed

better mental functioning.

5. Lower risk of heart disease

One risk factor for heart disease is high blood pressure. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), getting adequate rest each night allows the body’s blood pressure to regulate itself.

Doing so can reduce the chances of sleep-related conditions such as apnea and promote better overall heart health.

6. More social and emotional intelligence

Sleep has links to people’s emotional and social intelligence. Someone who does not get adequate sleep is more likely to have issues with recognizing other people’s emotions and expressions.

For example, one study in the Journal of Sleep Research looked at people’s responses to emotional stimuli. The researchers concluded, similarly to many earlier studies, that a person’s emotional empathy is less when they do not get adequate sleep.

7. Preventing Depression

The association between sleep and mental health has been the subject of research for a long time. One conclusion is that there is a link between lack of sleep and depression.

A study appearing in JAMA Psychiatry examines patterns of death by suicide over 10 years. It concludes that lack of sleep is a contributing factor to many of these deaths.

8. Lower Inflammation

There is a link between getting adequate sleep and reducing inflammation in the body.

For example, a study in theWorld Journal of Gastroenterology suggests a link between sleep deprivation and inflammatory bowel diseases that affect people’s gastrointestinal tract.

The study showed that sleep deprivation can contribute to these diseases — and that these diseases, in turn, can contribute to sleep deprivation.

9. Stronger Immune system

Sleep helps the body repair, regenerate, and recover. The immune system is no exception to this relationship. Some research shows how better sleep quality can help the body fight off infection.

However, scientists still need to do further research into the exact mechanisms of sleep in regards to its impact on the body’s immune system.

It is recommended that spending more time outside can improve sleep quality.

Sleep needs vary from person to person, depending on their age. As a person ages, they typically require less sleep to function properly.

According to the CDC, the breakdown is as follows:

*Newborns (0–3 months): 14–17 hours

*Infants (4–12 months): 12–16 hours

*Toddler (1–2 years): 11–14 hours

*Preschool (3–5 years): 10–13 hours

*School age (6–12 years): 9–12 hours

*Teen (13–18 years): 8–10 hours

*Adult (18–60 years): 7-plus hours

*Adult (61–64 years): 7–9 hours

*Adult (65+ years): 7–8 hours

As well as the number of hours, the quality of sleep is also important. 

Signs of poor sleep quality include:

  1. Waking in the middle of the night.
  2. Still not feeling rested after an adequate number of hours sleep.

Some things a person can do to improve sleep quality are:

  1. Avoiding sleeping in when you have had enough sleep.
  2. Going to bed around the same time each night.
  3. Spending more time outside and being more active during the day.
  4. Reducing stress through exercise, therapy, or other means.

In summary ,Sleep is a vital, often neglected, component of every person’s overall health and well-being. Sleep is important because it enables the body to repair and be fit and ready for another day.

Getting adequate rest may also help prevent excess weight gain, heart disease, and increased illness duration.
