Intrinsa patch - Hunting female sexual dysfunction

There has been much said and written about male sexual function, but female libido is not something we hear all that much about. While male sex drive is easy to define and restore, that's not the case with women. Female sex drive is based on multiple factors; it is not only influenced by physical factors, but emotional ones as well.

The truth behind female sex drive

As women age, they lose interest in sexual activities. This can directly impact their relationship. In fact lack of libido has been one of the underlying causes of relationship problems. According to Glenn D. Braunstein, MD, an endocrinologist and chair of the Department of Medicine at Cedars Sinai Medical Centre in Los Angeles, “Part of the desire to make love is clearly physical, but part is also emotional – depression can make a difference, so can any emotional issue in a woman's life; female's sex drive is multidimensional.”

Female sexual dysfunction

According to the Sexual Advice Association, 50% of women are affected by sexual problems that get more prominent as they get old. This decline in sexual desire in women is termed as female sexual dysfunction and it includes loss of arousal, problem getting orgasm, and painful sexual intercourse. Sexual function in both men and women is regulated by hormones. During monthly menstrual periods, women experience fluctuations in their sex hormone levels. But the levels of sex hormones restore to their normal levels as the menstrual period ends.

When a woman goes through menopause, the ovaries cease to produce sex hormones. This sudden drop in hormonal level can also lead to female sexual dysfunction. Hypoactive sexual desire disorder is a condition in which a woman has no desire for sex, cannot get sexually aroused and have orgasm. Menopause is a natural process, but some women experience this after undergoing hysterectomy (removal of the ovaries). Female sex hormones such as oestrogen, progesterone and in small amounts testosterone are produced by the ovaries. As the ovaries are surgically removed, the production of these hormones falls down. As a result of this hormonal imbalance, menopause sets in before time. This can lead to female sexual dysfunction symptoms such as loss of sexual desire and orgasm problems.

Apart from physical and hormonal changes that occur during or after menopause and pregnancy, female sexual dysfunction is often linked with some psychological factors such as:

• Depression
• Poor self-esteem
• Fear of pregnancy
• Feelings of shame or guilt about sex
• Sexual abuse or past sexual experience
• Inadequate or ineffective foreplay

Treatment for Female sexual dysfunction

Over the past few years, there have been many developments with regard to female libido enhancers. Hormone replacement therapy is considered as a standard treatment for replacing sex hormones in women after menopause. For women who undergo menopause naturally, oestrogen is prescribed along with progestin, a synthetic version of progesterone. But women who undergo menopause as a result of hysterectomy can take only oestrogen. As the level of testosterone also falls down after hysterectomy, women taking oestrogen therapy are prescribed testosterone patches to compensate for the loss of testosterone after hysterectomy. Intrinsa patch is one such transdermal treatment for female sexual dysfunction. A single patch contains 300mg of testosterone, which is released in controlled doses into the bloodstream. Intrinsa patch should be used for a long period of time to notice some positive results. You need to wear it continuously for at least 72 hours. According to a clinical trial, 51% of women who had hysterectomy-induced menopause reported improved sexual performance after using Intrinsa patch.

How do I know I have genital herpes?

Herpes is a viral infection caused by herpes simplex virus. There are two types of herpes simplex virus, HSV-1 and HSV-2. Oral herpes is usually caused by HSV-1 and its symptoms are cold sores and fever blisters around the mouth. Genital herpes is caused by the second type of herpes simplex virus, HSV-2. It is a disease that affects the area around the genitals and anus and appears as painful blisters, redness, burning, and itching around the skin. It is basically transmitted by skin-to-skin contact. Roughly, every 1 in 4 adults in the UK has genital herpes. But unfortunately, 90% of the people don't even realize that they are infected by the herpes simplex virus and could be spreading the infection without knowing about it.

Genital herpes - The silent disease

Herpes simplex virus (HSV-2) can remain dormant in your body for many years without causing any symptoms. According to Herpes Guide, the herpes virus injects its DNA into a nerve cell within 24 hours of its infection and remains there in its latent form. When a trigger reactivates the HSV-2, it replicates itself and spreads along the nerve pathways to the skin where it causes symptoms.

Warning signs of herpes

People often wonder about various triggers that can cause an outbreak of herpes. Some of the common triggers are exposure to the sun, friction or injury to the genitals, stress or anxiety, fatigue, and excessive alcohol consumption. Many people can experience warning signs indicating the onset of herpes outbreak. These signs can occur at the site where the outbreak will occur or in other parts of the body. As these warning signs and symptoms vary from person to person, it is important to identify what your body is signaling you. That way, you can manage the outbreak of symptoms better.

Herpes can be non-sexually transmitted

It is assumed that genital herpes is transmitted by sexual activities. But as it is known that direct skin-to-skin contacts are the obvious ways which allow the virus to pass from one person to another, an infected person can shed the virus from his/her skin even when there are no visible symptoms. Though, herpes virus cannot enter the body unless there is a cut or open wound on the skin and simply touching isn't likely to cause an herpes infection.

What many people don't know is that a simple act of kissing can transmit herpes infection. If the parts of the body that are shedding the virus get rubbed off against another person's mouth, the virus can get transmitted to that person. So kissing can not only cause cold sores, but genital herpes also.

Antiviral treatment

Antiviral medications are proven to control and treat herpes symptoms if taken as directed by doctors. Famvir is an antiviral prescription medication for the treatment or suppression of genital herpes and treatment of cold sores. This medication cannot cure herpes, but if taken at the first signs or symptoms, it can prevent recurrent herpes outbreaks. Valtrex is another antiviral medication which is effective in treating full-blown outbreak of herpes. It can also be taken for cold sores treatment for three days.  Similarly, Valtrex can be taken for zoster treatment for seven days. You should consult a doctor for the appropriate dosage of these medications so that you can get an effective genital herpes treatment.

Cialis can let you defeat your impotence

As your work-week is over, you plan out a weekend holiday with your partner to spend some quality time with her. But one thing that can dampen your weekend plan is your erectile problems. Fortunately, it is a treatable condition, all you have to do is just take a pill. But most of the erectile dysfunction medications keep you on a stopwatch by providing efficacy which is limited to a few hours, so you have to rush through your sexual activities to fit into that time frame.

Here the pill that comes into picture is Cialis, which is also known as “the 36-hour pill” or “the weekend pill.” It is the only erectile dysfunction medication that is effective for 36 hours. You just have to take Cialis 30 minutes before you plan your sexual activity. It allows to have sex with your partner, spontaneously, rather than planning to have sex in a rush. To understand how Cialis works to improve your erection, let's first understand what are the causes of erectile dysfunction.

Erection problems

Erection is a complex process. To get an erection, brain, nerves, blood vessels and hormones must act in conjunction. If the function of any of these systems is disrupted, it will have a direct effect on the quality of erection. Erection problems are said to occur when a  man is unable to achieve or maintain an erection for satisfactory sexual intercourse. Additionally, health conditions such diabetes, obesity, heart problems, high blood pressure, and thyroid problems can also cause erectile dysfunction. Other factors that can also lead to erectile dysfunction are excessive alcohol or tobacco use and drug abuse. Psychologically, stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship problems can take a toll on your ability to get and maintain an erection during sexual intercourse. Fear of not performing well sexually can result in performance anxiety which can also hamper your ability to get an erection.

If you are having erection problems, it is advisable to consult a doctor who can diagnose your condition and suggest you an appropriate treatment. For erection problems caused by psychological factors, you can seek the help of psycho-sexual therapy to improve your erections. If your erectile dysfunction is due to physiological factors, your doctor can prescribe you medications that can provide you effective erectile dysfunction treatment.

Cialis - The weekender pill

Cialis is an FDA-approved prescription medication for the treatment of erectile dysfunction. Tadalafil is the active ingredient in Cialis that works by increasing blood flow to the penis to get a firm erection during sexual intercourse. Cialis becomes effective after 30 minutes of taking it and provides a long-lasting effect for 36 hours. It is this unique quality that has earned Cialis various names such as “the 36-hour pill”, “the weekend pill”, and “the weekender”. With an appropriate Cialis dosage, you can have the freedom of having sex whenever you want within the 36-hour time period. With this larger window of opportunity, men can have a more laid-back approach towards sex rather than being in pressure. One important thing to remember is when you are buying Cialis online, always make sure that you buy it from a registered clinic.
