The solution of the problem. Lucidly explain to her husband that you are experiencing at the moment. He's not at all desire to become pregnant. And, therefore, does not know about your fears and feelings. Achieving sexual harmony is possible only if the spouse will be attentive to the psychological and physical demands of each other. For a man, now the most important not to neglect the fragile emotional state of his wife and did not respond to her often unfounded accusations. And you do not try to keep emotions in yourself, otherwise you will find a real storm of emotions. Tell her husband on all his experiences, doubts and fears. Sexual satisfaction is only possible if you trust your partner. Over the next nine months, your mood will change constantly, and every day you'll get from sex new emotions. So do not give up on sex just because you did not like yesterday. As at the beginning of sexual life - look for what you deliver the most satisfaction, and conversely, that causes negative emotions.

   Aging - the inevitable change that women experience much harder than men because they tend to think that goes along with youth and beauty, and with beauty - attractiveness to men, success.

   The American psychologist Elizabeth Oching believes that his mature years are similar to the period in early childhood when the child first realizes that he is not omnipotent. Opening it is sharp, and a response he makes such a breakthrough in the development of his personality, what psychologists call this period the second psychological birth.

   Women are able to respond to their aging about as well. And experts suggest women consider middle age as the second birth - the birth itself.

How high heels affect your health?

2011-11-09T01:54:00.000-08:00

Do the sexy high-heeled shoes are you? Never before have high-heel shoes were arranged so well in international culture, as they are now: in the UK, for example, the best selling book has become a fashion stylist book "How to walk in high heels." The most famous representatives of high heels have become the heroine of the series "Sex and the City."

For many women, high heels are higher than 5 cm, but really high heels gorgeous are those that shine on the red carpet.

As heels affect your health?

But sometimes the beauty of our high-heeled pay our feet. According to Stephen Hartman, chiropodist and the head of the Canadian Federation of orthopedic medicine, high heels more than 5 cm are pushing the body forward, transforming an ordinary walking into a tough job. These heels are also sent down the stack, thereby reducing the ability to bend and absorb shocks. This is reflected in areas such as knees and thighs compound, which is distributed and this extra load, which in turn may aggravate or even cause arthritis.

Over time, some problems may get worse. Hartman says, "If you do not treat such short-term problems such as calluses, rough skin or ingrown nails, they can lead to such long-term problems such as bursitis (a bump on the outside of the big toe) bone sprouting bumps on the back of the heel caused by rubbing the shoes, as well as the reflection of a finger. Additionally, there may be in trouble with pain in the knees, hips, spine, and osteoarthritis (arthritis with a lesion of the articular ends of bones articulated). " In addition, fans of high heels can even feel pain when wearing shoes without heels. According to Hartman, the women, who for many years, always wear shoes with high heels, can develop a physiologically shorter Achilles tendon, resulting in an inability to fully heel touch the floor.

Nicotine And Women's Health

2011-10-12T05:03:00.000-07:00

Nicotine is deposited in adipose tissue. When part of the fat used by the body for life processes, the nicotine, which is there, freed and removed from the body.

Brain seeing that he has lost some of its reserves, but it's the nicotine, a signal that you need to renew it, then there is this stock to replenish quickly. And we're going to smoke. If the brain is able to distinguish that we do not have good or bad, we would have carried 100% of a healthy lifestyle. He simply would not allow the body to eat certain things.

Smoke against beauty

The impact of tobacco on the female body is very large and negative. The woman just can not smoke. We have to figure it deteriorates, there is cellulite, the skin loses all the beauty, the teeth become yellow. Light strongly burn, the alveoli at all dry. Do we have a smoker's bronchitis, from which not so easy to cure. Women who smoke have a greater weight, they are prone to obesity, they may become infertile, they have a poor immune system, they are more irritable. You know that if you throw a leech in 20% solution of nicotine in the water, it will just die. And we breathe 100%.

Also, smoking causes shortness of breath, arises from a spasm of blood vessels, from which the heart can not function properly - as a result of coronary heart disease. Also, women who smoke may not be long in the sun, because under the influence of nicotine from the inside and outside of the sun, the skin begins to age at 200% percent faster. Also, these women much worse condition of the hair, because they too do not like nicotine. Teeth five times as many suffer from tooth decay, because nicotine and smoke heavily destroy tooth enamel.

If you think you will smoke a cigarette for women as an easier option and they will bring less damage, you are also wrong. In these, women's cigarettes, the same nicotine and tobacco, but plus a whole bunch of synthetic additives that impart taste and reduce the feeling of the presence of tobacco.

Botox And The Women's Vanity

2011-10-10T05:27:00.000-07:00

Despite the growing popularity of Botox injection procedures and a steady decline in prices, a significant proportion of women still condemn their peers for wanting to stay young.
Many of them sincerely believe that the injection of Botox done yourself lady, suffering from megalomania and the desire to "freeze" time, as well as aging models and movie stars.
As far as women are typical of such procedures and how vain the ladies who come for the renewal of youth to the plastic surgeon? So they asked a group of sociologists recently at the University of Toronto.
As experts in their study, the researchers were invited to participate two groups of women - the elderly, whose average age was 70 years old and young - at age 19.

All these ladies had to give their assessment of four categories of middle-aged women, differing in the degree of artificial interference in their appearance.

The first category is for the sake of beauty and youth, but to no makeup enjoyed.

The second group of women, which is required to evaluate the experts use creams and lotions, a third group - made Botox injections, the fourth group, in order to preserve his youth, used the most drastic measures, such as facelift.
All experts, both young and old, were unanimous in saying that women aged 40 to 60, using Botox and a facelift, more vain, than those who either do not take any measures to save the youth, or just enjoy creams and lotions.

At the same time, young experts - nineteen girls admitted the more "strange" (as opposed to older experts), when women begin after forty less radical fight against wrinkles.

However, the most appropriate time for Botox, the experts participating the experiment, according to age after 60 years. It should be noted that this statement will be unlikely to plastic surgeons who believe that at this age is often too late to make a chur drastic changes appearance.

Menopause and overweight women

2011-09-16T06:27:00.000-07:00

Almost all women are accused of a sharp increase in weight of estrogen - the sex hormones, are produced in the female body. But doctors have long proved that the connection between the decrease of estrogen production and increasing the weight of no. The thing is that wrong feeding and low physical activity were added in women during menopause excessive weight.

First of all, you need to remember that after 35-years in women with every year there is a decrease in muscle mass and to tarry menopause a woman's body is deprived of three pounds of muscle. Their place is taken by the resulting oil. If you wish to avoid this fate you should continuously engage in any sport. Quite possible to burn fat and to restore lost muscle, thus you will be able to control their weight.

Women during menopause to adhere strictly prohibited demanding diets. The thing is that with daily use of at least 1200 calories, your body slows down the exchange of substances intentionally. Therefore, many women wonder why they are eating the minimum number of calories, do not lose weight. Calculate your menu so that the daily diet composed of at least 1800 calories. When the daily sports and weight-balanced diet will gradually decline.

It is necessary to limit myself and alcoholic beverages. Studies were conducted which proved that at the time of menopause, alcohol directly affects the weight gain. You can lunch or dinner to afford a small glass of wine drunk, but from other alcoholic beverages should be abandoned.
Not so long ago it was shown that women who experience constant stress, inevitably gaining excess weight. And all because the stress hormone cortisol increases body fat in the abdomen, inimitably actively happening is exactly the menopause. You need to learn to relax, to overcome stress. You can listen to music, read a favorite book or take a relaxing bath, that you choose, the basic, get it from the positive emotions.

Attractiveness depends on the day of the cycle

2011-08-23T05:26:00.001-07:00

Sociologists of Newcastle (UK) conducted the original survey. It turns out that phase of the menstrual cycle affects the degree of attractiveness to women of both sexes. Scientists conducted an experiment which involved 50 women aged from 19 to 33 years. Each of them was photographed twice - in the most fertile days (ovulation period, or mid-cycle), and the second time - after two weeks. After that, 250 men and women have shown pictures and asked to assess which of these women are most attractive. 59% of respondents pointed to the first photo - where the women were depicted in the period of ovulation. Experts trying to find a solution to this phenomenon came to the conclusion that perhaps played a role complexion - in the fertile days, the skin color becomes lighter and its overall condition is improving, which makes a person nice "shining".

The possibility of conception and fetal development depends on the schedule

2011-08-23T04:30:00.001-07:00

Several studies have shown that working at night raises the chances of getting pregnant and give birth to underweight, but, as we are assured the researchers, these effects are small.

A team of scientists from the University of Insubria Italian, Matteo Bonzini led, reviewed 23 studies, which were attended by thousands of women.

The women working at night or on schedule with alternating day and night shifts, good chance that the child will be with a smaller mass than it should be for gestational age, ie Night shifts can lead to reduced fetal weight.

Theoretically, irregular working hours or hours that go beyond the boundaries of biological schedule, can be caused by a surge of female reproductive function, due to hormonal activity. Recent research by American scientists has shown that nurses who work in shifts to night shifts, often have irregular menstrual cycles, which increases the chance of becoming pregnant.

In general, the researchers say that for clear conclusions yet enough information and not so obvious is a direct link between work schedules and increasing fertility, as it does not take into account many factors that affect the menstrual cycle, such as the structure of power, bad habits, etc. .

Women knowingly enter into an unhappy marriage

2011-08-16T06:35:00.000-07:00

Recent research scientists have shown that about a third of marriages are contracted in women without love.

Sociologist Jennifer Gauveyn surveyed thousands of women who recently parted with their spouses and found that about a third of them from the outset were aware that the man does not suit them.

As it turned out, the main reason for this step is the woman's age. She begins to realize that her time is running out, all the friends a long time have a family, and it is under daily pressure of public opinion - they say, soon you will be useless.

The second reason that prompts the fairer sex to the altar - a myth about the "can endure - slyubitsya." A woman tries to prove to myself that it selected a partner - a good man, whom she would eventually fall in love.

Another reason is the fact that the unloved man is the last chance to get married and start a family. Fear that the best person they can not meet, the women agree to join the union.

Psychologists, in turn, are advised not to hurry with the wedding so as not to injure in the future either himself or a man.

Smoking And Women's Health

2011-08-15T05:10:00.000-07:00

Smoking is more likely to give women heart disease than men, a study has found. Toxic chemicals in tobacco smoke may have a more potent effect on women due to biological differences, scientists believe.

US researchers analysed pooled data on around 4 million individuals from 86 studies. After adjusting for other risk factors, they found the increased risk of heart disease linked to smoking was 25% higher for women.

Heart disease - this is one of the main causes of death worldwide, because it can develop on many factors, for example, as a result of wrong food or diet, less active lifestyles, passive smoking, etc. According to the American Health Association, secondhand smoke annually contributes to cardiovascular disease in 35 000 - 62 000. Moreover, non-smokers breathe passive smoke, 25 percent more at risk for their ischemic heart disease than normal people do not inhale the smoke.

As a result of smoke inhalation stimulates red blood cell is emitted, whereby the blood becomes more dense. This, in turn, increases the likelihood of blood clotting and stroke. In fact, any activity that limits the amount of oxygen entering the bloodstream, causes the heart to work faster, to blow the entire production of oxygen through the body. In addition, the large, formed of platelets, can damage the walls of the arteries that lead to high blood pressure and put a strain on the heart.

The longer a woman smoked, the greater her heart disease risk was compared with that of a man who had smoked for the same length of time. A woman's extra risk increased by 2% for every additional year she had been smoking. The findings are published on Thursday in an online edition of The Lancet medical journal.

Authors Dr Rachel Huxley, from the University of Minnesota, and Dr Mark Woodward, from Johns Hopkins University, of Maryland, wrote: "Women might extract a greater quantity of carcinogens and other toxic agents from the same number of cigarettes than men. In the UK, 21% of women and 22% of men smoke cigarettes.

Ellen Mason, senior cardiac nurse at the British Heart Foundation, said: "It's alarming to see such a large study confirm that women are so much more at risk of heart disease from smoking than men. "Despite women generally smoking fewer cigarettes a day than men, women appear to be substantially more at risk of getting heart disease. Biologically, women seem more susceptible to the dangers of smoking and passive smoking.

Viagra And Womens Frigidity

2011-07-29T05:24:00.000-07:00

If there is Viagra for men, why not invent a Viagra for women? What are they something worse?

On a frenzied wave of popular of the exciting nature of Viagra male, managers, sexologists, pharmacists, rushed headlong in search of female potency and invention promoters of this very potential. If your sexual relationship with a partner is clear not the ones that were a couple of years or months ago, when they need recharging, and do you cope with your body no longer can, you should not be discouraged and give up. If desired, you can find a whole bunch of different companies, who will try to help you. And it will sell you a product that will give you all the charm of an intimate relationship and make believe in themselves.

The problem of medication female frigidity is not new. The stores, offering "sexual" products for women, there is a large selection of various pills, creams and ointments for the stimulation of female sexual body, and various sociological studies show that one third of the women lost interest in sex, and one in four said that in principle, it is unable to achieve orgasm.

One possible reason for these violations - insufficient blood flow to the pelvic organs, which leads to male impotence. Although it is known that at the beginning of the implementation of the program the drug "Viagra" Manufacturers have to seriously explain that "Viagra" - a product designed for men only, though a natural question arises - can a "Viagra" to help women suffering from frigidity ? Today, one thing is clear - "Viagra" increases blood flow to the genitals, it would probably help some women with the release of lubricating secretions, increased arousal and even getting an orgasm. "Viagra", could be useful for women who experience sexual difficulties due to diabetes.

Medicine would come to women who are experiences problems with arousal and low release of lubricating secretions in the vagina due to menopause and can not for whatever reason, to use such forms of treatment like hormone replacement therapy. According to many foreign experts, exploring women's sexuality - "Viagra" should not be considered as a means to orgasm, but we can say that it has a certain advantage to increase the sexual activity of women. "

From all the above we can conclude that "Viagra" can benefit not only men but also women.

Changing diet: over time, a diet low in fat may help reduce the severity of hot flushes. However, this can not be "too far" - too rapid weight loss can have on the contrary, a negative impact. Nor should we assume that a positive - it means safe.

Vitamin therapy: some patients have noted that taking vitamin E every day. Note that the same can be successfully used a placebo.

Varicose veins and women's issues

2010-09-24T02:12:00.000-07:00

"Varicose veins - this phenomena is anomalous. Such a deviation from the norm is fraught with serious complications," - warns Dr. Foley. Over time, varicose veins start to become inflamed (this phenomenon is known as phlebitis) or swelling of the legs, they appear non-healing ulcers. In the worst cases of inflamed veins formed blood clots (called thrombosis), blood-swollen veins begin to bleed. Twisted, gnarled, with stagnant blood - is not surprising that women with varicose veins hidden legs, wearing slacks, long skirts, regardless of the weather, even in hot weather.

Forget the shorts. Most women who come to my reception, not even a single pair of shorts - said Deborah Foley, MD, a physician from the Chicago clinic that specializes in the treatment of varicose veins. - We prefer that our patients during the inspection were in shorts - they will not feel that the inconvenience which arises if they are in their underwear - that is why we now have stock of shorts at the clinic one time use for those who have not provided their own - she says. Often a woman, wearing shorts, is horrified that she sees - continues Dr. Foley. - She tries to cover his legs with his hands, as if she was completely naked. I think that at this point, women should pay attention to the numerous photos of patients before and after treatment, which we put on the walls of the clinic. Whatever may seem terrible to you by your feet, you can be sure that if others have so much trouble with his feet and even worse.

About pain:

In the normal state tiny valves inside veins provide movement of blood flow in one direction only. When these valves are losing their properties, the blood, which should rise towards the heart, stagnant, pressing on the walls of veins, causing them to bulge. As a result, his legs swell, having the feeling of heaviness, fatigue, aching legs. And the more time you spend on the legs, the symptoms become pronounced. Some complain of muscle cramps at night. Interesting that, the size of varicose veins does not correlate with the severity of symptoms.

"Women often suffer from years of varicose veins before you seek help," - said Dr. Foley. Nancy Strakan, 42-year-old housewife and mother of five children, says she always watched him, but before the birth of their third child varicose veins do not cause her discomfort. "After my third child I noticed a big, ugly vein in the groin - she recalls. - Because of her I began to feel sexually unattractive. It was so big that even advocated a gym suit that I wore in the classroom. In the lower legs and feet also were visible grid veins, which gave the skin cyanogen hue.

Seventeen percent of the population in the United States in one way or another affected by the deformation of the veins. "So if you take your girlfriends, then the chances are that one out of five could be major problems with the veins and you have not guessed it," - says Dr. Foley. Varicose veins often appear or become more noticeable after pregnancy. But they can also appear in adolescence or even earlier.

Unfortunately, the view prevails that varicose veins are not harmful, that the biggest problem they cause, - an ugly appearance and related experiences. But this is not true.

Even if varicose veins are harmless, they still should be treated, because the mutilated legs are very confused woman - said Dr. Foley. " What I hate most is that when a woman enters the room and begins to apologize for what she would like to heal. She confidently asserts that it is nothing serious (because that's how it seems to many doctors, believe it or not). Such people, in fact, believe that they have no right to rely on medication, that they saw it lightly. Even if the veins do not hurt, but the port looks, this is sufficient reason to refer to the doctor. "

Menopause and hormone levels

2010-08-18T02:36:00.000-07:00

Normal changes in your reproductive and hormone systems cause menopause. As your egg supply ages, your body begins to ovulate less often. During this time, your hormone levels go up and down unevenly (fluctuate), causing changes in your periods and other symptoms. In time, estrogen and progesterone levels drop enough that the menstrual cycle stops.

The most common immediate cause of vaginal dryness is hormonal issues more specifically, a drop in the female hormone estrogen. This hormone is most directly responsible for keeping the vagina moist, and the tissue thick and elastic. That's why menopause is a frequent primary cause of vaginal dryness it is a time when estrogen levels drop. But it is not the only cause of low estrogen levels.

Progesterone is a hormone produced in the ovaries during the second half of the menstrual cycle that helps prepare the uterus for pregnancy.

Estrogen is a hormone that produces female physical traits and helps regulate a woman's menstrual cycle.

Symptoms of hormone imbalance are caused primarily by the incorrect relationship between progesterone and estrogen levels in the body. The two female hormones, estrogen and progesterone, exist in a delicate balance. Variations in that balance can have a dramatic effect on your health, resulting in symptoms of hormone imbalance. The amounts of these hormones that the woman's body produces from month to month can vary, depending on factors such as stress, nutrition, exercise and most importantly ovulation or the lack of ovulation.
