Using available evidence on effectiveness, cost, and utility values, hysterectomy is a more cost-effective solution for heavy menstrual bleeding than medical management, endometrial ablation, or progesterone IUD's. Although hysterectomy is more expensive than the other 3 options tested, it produces more quality adjusted life years than the other strategies and is, therefore, more likely to be considered cost-effective. |

Why Vibrators are an Enjoyable Addition to Lovemaking As a woman ages and hormone levels plummet around menopause, it becomes much more difficult for her to reach an orgasm. Sad but true. This dynamic can create tension in the relationship between a woman and her partner. Reaching orgasm becomes filled with effort and effort creates anxiety. The menopausal woman experiences frustration, and her partner feels inadequate. The natural reaction to anxiety is avoidance of the negative situation. The woman’s partner senses the avoidance and feels unwanted, unloved. Adding a vibrator to lovemaking activity can release the tension that has developed between you and your partner. The more intense stimulation provided by the vibrator is often enough to cause orgasm with less effort. This breaks the tension that has developed between partners and offers a "fall-back" option. Some women and some partners may initially be reluctant to add a vibrator to lovemaking, but once they do, they discover that it adds closeness instead of detracting from the experience. Myths about adding a vibrator to lovemaking:
None of these myths are true. Especially as we age, there are many adjustments we make in the way we approach life, and this is just one of them. Try it, you may find new ways to love your love life.
As women age they do not lubricate as well and the addition of a lubricant can be very helpful. If you are using a silicone toy, please use a water based lubricant. Without toys, we recommend a silicone based lubricant. Our favorite lubricant is Pink, and you can order either silicone based or water based Pink (or Hot Pink) at Skintique After Hours Web site. Our new Web site BellePlaisir.com will be selling, among other items, educational books and videos on sexuality. We believe that sex is a fun, positive and healthy part of life and we want you to have access to up-to-date, accurate information about sexuality so that you feel informed, empowered, and inspired.

How Do We Know if Sexual Health Compounds are Right for Us? Both men and women can have medical conditions that interfere with their libido. Effectively treating sexual dysfunction often requires addressing an underlying medical condition or hormonal change that is affecting your sexuality. Medical conditions that can contribute to sexual dysfunction include depression or anxiety, diabetes, cardiovascular and neurological diseases, pelvic or abdominal surgery, and cancers.
Five majors areas involved in male and female libido: 1. Psychological / Mental: There are numerous causes of psychological sexual dysfunction and loss of libido. Most often low libido is related to stress, lack of adequate sleep, depression, anxiety, marital or relationship problems, life crisis, financial difficulties, problems at work, religious repression, or some forms of mental illness. Getting a deep sleep at night can do wonders for a healthy libido. 2. Hormonal: Androgens including testosterone are major components of libido. Testosterone levels decline about one percent each year in men, and may contribute to lower male libido with aging. Testosterone declines with age in women and may lead to a decrease in libido with menopause. Women who have experienced surgical removal of the ovaries notice a drop in sexual interest. Replacement of androgens can be helpful in those with age related sexual dysfunction. Testosterone is available by prescription only. An over-the-counter hormone, such as DHEA, converts into testosterone and thus has a positive influence on libido. 3. Vascular: Alterations in the flow of blood to and from the penis are thought to be a common cause of male erectile dysfunction. Conditions such as atherosclerois, high cholesterol, hypertension, or diabetes all reduce blood flow to the penis and genital organs and may lead to difficulty with erection or genital swelling. Additional factors that can impede blood flow include penile injury, surgery in the pelvic or abdominal area — and even sitting on a bicycle too long. 4. Neural: Nerve damage from disorders such as diabetes, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, and stroke affect the brain's ability to respond to sexual stimulation. In women, abdominal or pelvic operations can occasionally lead to nerve damage. Sexual dysfunction is common in men undergoing surgical treatment for prostrate enlargement or cancer. 5. Chemical: Some chemicals involved in the human sexual response and libido include dopamine, acetylcholine and nitric oxide. |

Skintique MD — Dr. Wilson and Associates' very Visit us on-line at www.skintiquemd.com or call 480-860-9383 for a free consultation! Medical Micro Needling Therapy How Medical Micro Needling Works Medical Micro Needling produces thousands of micro-medical needle-columns in the skin. Each column will penetrate into the dermis of the skin and will be approximately 0.1 mm in width. The column will close rapidly and enable the skin to recover quickly – often in the same day. Medical grade serums are used to treat different applications and are customized for your skin. This allows for an increased absorption rate of the active ingredients in the serums. After a Medical Micro Needling procedure your body's natural healing mechanism will start to regenerate and repair the skin, working below surface of the dermis. This takes time as new collagen is formed, new skin cells are generated and blood supply is enhanced. You will see visible signs of rejuvenation and repair after each treatment. The process will continue over the following months, providing you with a natural and long lasting enhancement, however, the number of treatments and intervals between sessions will be determined at consultation. Skin Indications for Medical Micro Needling Medical Micro Needling can be used to treat: acne scars and stretch marks; sun damaged skin; fine lines and wrinkles on the face, neck and chest; minimizing pores; improving pigmentation; skin tightening; and cellulites. Why Medical Micro Needling? Medical Micro Needling is ideal during the summer months as there is no special preparation prior to treatments and no downtime. Prior to treatment with Medical Micro Needling, a consultation may be scheduled by calling Skintique MD at 480-860-9383. |
