Teenaged girls have to deal with their sexual problems, but their mum can help them in dealing with it. Not all moms are free to talk to their daughters about sex and sexual issues.

Psychologists, time and again suggest that talking about sex and sexual habits to their teenage son and daughter would only do well than bad.

First time sex:

Few things women can do to secure their fertility

Unfortunately the number of women who cannot get pregnant is rising in the last few decades. Experts have determined few things that every woman should do in order to maintain her fertility.

But when can we talk about infertility? Infertility is a term used for women that are under the age of 35 and cannot get pregnant after one year of regular unprotected sexual intercourses. In cases when the woman is older than 35 years, we can talk about infertility if the woman doesn’t get pregnant after six months. Many factors affect fertility/infertility. The truth is that we can’t affect all the factors but there are a huge number of them that we can control.

Women need to understand that going to a gynecologist and having regular examinations is a must, because a gynecologist cannot predict your fertility for the next decade but he certainly can tell you about your current state of fertility. Woman should talk about their overall health with the gynecologist so he can advise them what to do in order to preserve their fertility. There are certain diseases related to the reproductive system that can affect fertility and women should be prepared for that. Better sexual enhancement.

Having weight that is close to the normal is important for woman’s health in general as it is for the health of the reproductive system including proper menstrual cycle. If you are overweight, you probably have higher levels of estrogen in your body due to increased reserves of fat in your body. Too much estrogen in your body means that your body acts in the same way when you are using contraceptive pills. On top of that, being overweight means that you have increased levels of insulin that can lead to problems in the ovaries (ovaries stop releasing eggs). Very low weight can cause problems too because it can lead to lack of estrogen which can slow down the reproductive cycle.

Physical activity is good for the body but excessive physical activity can cause rapid decrease of fat cells (used for production of estrogen) which is important for regular menstrual cycle. Excessive physical activity can lead to irregular periods and amenorrhea, which definitely affects the possibility to conceive.

Smoking is a really bad habit. It can lead to numerous diseases and it affects our everyday activities. But yet many women still don’t want to give up smoking. Maybe if they see how bad smoking is when we talk about fertility they will change their minds. Smoking is dangerous for both ovaries and uterus. It disrupts the production of estrogen (it can decrease the production of this important female hormone) and it can damages the eggs (making them nonfunctional). Besides that eggs can become more prone to genetic anomalies.

Finally, some sexually transmitted diseases don’t have visible symptoms but they can surely have a negative impact on fertility. They can lead to many infections. This is why you need to practice safe sex and have regular medical examinations.  

Sexual Health Concerns that you need to taken into account

The crazy, obsessive thing called sex

The sexual act in itself is a matter of perception. For some, it is a means to channelize and purge the excessive energy that is generated within the body. For the creative and poetic mind, it is metaphorically a work of art. For the sentimentalists, it is a means to express love. Amidst all this, what we often tend to forget is the need to retain overall sexual health for its sustenance. Overlooking trivial symptoms becomes a matter of habit and we end up with more complications that we can handle. This is where the need for thorough sex education arises.

Sexually transmitted infection: an obstacle to normal living

What happens when two individuals come together to quench their sexual desire? A temporary feeling of satisfaction makes its mark upon the lovers. If we were to rephrase the question in any other way: what happens when two individuals, of which one of them is a carrier of a dormant STD, come together?

The disease gets another host to cling on to and prosper. Most STDs spread via sexual contact but the cause is always a bacteria or a virus. The carrier may be predominantly male or female, depending upon the disease and the symptoms may be present or absent at the time of transmission. There are, however, common symptoms that indicate an outbreak of the infection.

These include painful discharge through the rectum, heavy vaginal discharge, swollen glands in the genitalia, warts or rashes between the thighs, fever, headache and pelvic pain not related to the menstrual cycle to name a few.

Common sexually transmitted diseases to look out for

Chlamydia is a bacterial infection, more commonly inflicted upon females than males. The second-most common disease is Gonorrhea, which more often than not, leads to fertility complications. Genital warts are a primary symptom for those infected with the Human Papillomavirus, an infection invariably linked with cervical cancer according to research.

Nothing can kill human bodies with the intensity of HIV; the consequent AIDS virus is slow poison to the anatomy that breaks down little by little to its last breath. Genital Herpes is hard to diagnose while it is dormant within a body. The host may be having it for months without being aware of it, till the warts begin to show. The worst part about being inflicted with this virus is that it clings on to your dear life forever!

STD treatment: looking for a cure

Driven by shame and embarrassment, most STD victims look up the internet to seek self medication. This is the most impractical approach one could ever opt for. For one, you may get the necessary information that you are looking for, but the treatment bit should be left to the experts. Bacterial infections can be cured with regular medication but viruses are there to haunt you for life, therefore impossible to get rid of. Patients with their respective partners must undergo tests to medically confirm their diagnosis. Depending upon the condition, the patient and/or their partner would be prescribed antiviral or antibacterial medicines. Viruses require lifelong treatment in order to control the outbreak; disappearance of physical symptoms does not mean that the body has rid of it.
