Embarrassing Sexual Health Issues

Embarrassing Sexual Health Issues: When it comes to our health and beauty, we tend to talk nonstop about the best way to lose five pounds, tone up our jiggly parts, teeth whitening and the best spa treatments, but mum’s the word when we care about our sexual health problems. We do not like talking about them with our best friends, let alone a doctor.
However, our sexual health issues – and the problems will not disappear simply because we remain silent. We talked with the New York OB / GYN, Dr. Alyssa Dweck, co-author of V is for vagina (Ulysses Press, February 2012), about the problems women experience the most embarrassing. Here’s what she said about the health problems we do not talk.

I think I forgot a tampon inside… oh no!

As masters of multitasking, women are busy – and because we tend to overload our daily agendas, some things fall through the cracks (or get stuck, in this case). “A buffer will be retained noticed early because it usually causes a terrible smell and perhaps a minor discomfort – this in itself is really bothersome to most,” Dr. Dweck empathy.

Solution: Try to get out safely. “If you can not recover yourself, you will need to consult your gynecologist,” says specialist women’s health. “If left on for too long, you may develop a vaginal infection or, although rare, toxic shock syndrome.”

My diaphragm is stuck… Help

After you have bathed in the afterglow of making love beautiful, your happiness is shattered when you can not retrieve your diaphragm. Dr. Dweck says, “Women are mortified to come clean on this issue because they often panic and come to the urgency of the problem after intercourse.” The doctor also saw women in a panic and injury. “I saw a couple of vaginal tears of the women with long fingernails who aggressively attempt to remove diaphragm on their own,” she explains.

Solution: You may need to put aside your panic and try to remove it when you are not riddled with anxiety, and you may need to consult your gynecologist. “Generally, there is no danger at all and the gynecologist just remove the diaphragm without problem,” says Dr. Dweck.

I leak a little urine when I sneeze… uggh!

Do you have a weak bladder? “It’s a matter underestimated and women are really hesitant to implement because of the shame and embarrassment,” says Dr. Dweck. “In general, the stress urinary incontinence is more common in women who have had multiple vaginal deliveries (especially when women had large babies or instrumented deliveries), women who are overweight and women with a family history of stress incontinence. ”

Solution: Dr. Dweck recommends talking to your doctor because there are things you can do at home and medical treatments that can help you stop the leak. She explains, “simple corrections involve regular Kegel exercises, avoidance of caffeine voiding, timed (so you do not wait to pee until your bladder is really full), always empty the bladder before exercise and sex. Surgery is also available in some cases. ”

Some fluid squirted out of me during sex… yikes!

This is one of the most embarrassing for some women because it seems abnormal. According to Dr. Dweck, on occasion some women will actually ejaculate a significant amount of fluid during sex and orgasm, and sometimes women will leak a small amount of urine during sexual vigor.

Solution: If any of these questions is happening to you, do not worry. “Female ejaculation is not harmful and I reassure women that the treatment is not necessary,” said the medical expert. Leak urine during sex is also preventable empty your bladder before sex.

I have a horrible odor after sex, and my partner notices… I’m mortified!

Our bodies have a natural odor, but when the smell is strong enough to stand out, be careful. “It is possible that you have an imbalance of the normal balance of bacteria in the vagina called BV or bacterial vaginosis,” says Dr. Dweck. “Women with BV may also have a gray malodorous vaginal loss.”

Solution: Dr. Dweck emphasizes that this should be checked by your gynecologist. “It is easily treated with oral antibiotics or vaginal sex,” she assures. “Other ways to prevent BV include a probiotic yogurt or take food with live cultures daily, condom use and avoid douching. “
