The P-shot for men

October 2, 2014

The P-shot for men

It is good news that the o-shot has reached the UK. Better news is that the Priapus shot, simply known as the p-shot has also followed suit. In this article, we shall look at the reasons why you need to take the p-shot and try to compare its benefits to those of the o-shot.

What the o-shot is all about

The o-shot is one of the most revolutionary natural methods of dealing with the many problems that women encounter in their sexual lives. Generally, women encounter a number of problems with regard to their sexuality. The bigger problem is that a significant number of the women who suffer choose to do so silently, owing to social norms which make it relatively difficult for them to seek professional help.

Statistics have indicated that many women suffer from low desire for sex. Generally, this is not a problem at all. However, it becomes a problem when it interferes with the sexual life of a woman. It is then that professional help is obviously needed. Another common problem of sexual dysfunction among women is pain during sexual intercourse. You need to understand that this is not pain caused by lack of lubrication in the vagina. Rather, it is a serious problem that makes it practically impossible for a woman to have a pleasurable sexual experience.

Then there is the common problem of failure to reach orgasm during sexual intercourse. By far, this is the most common problem for women. Many are the women who get sexually aroused quite well but during the intercourse, they completely fail to reach orgasm. For others, the orgasm may reach it but its intensity may be too low for them to experience it as it should be. Once more, this is problem that requires professional help.

What the o-shot does

But thanks to the 0-shot, many women who are experiencing all these problems now have a reason to smile. Simply put, the o-shot has been shown to be able to tackle all these problems with relative ease. It not only frees women from the shackles of lack of desire for sex, it transports them to the highest levels of the pleasure of sexual intercourse.

But how does this procedure do all these? It is quite simple. The platelet rich plasma that is injected to the vaginal area stimulates growth of the vaginal tissue. It is the growth of new tissue around the vagina that increases its sensitivity in women thus making it easy for them to experience an orgasm. Besides, the procedure stimulates the libido of a woman to such an extent that she is able to lead a completely fulfilling sexual life.

How the p-shot works

Just like the o-shot is for women, the p-shot is the ultimate solution for male sexual problems. The p-shot is a simple natural procedure that is used to treat sexual dysfunction problems in men.

This is how the process works. First, a small amount of blood is drawn from your body by a doctor. The blood is then subjected to a special laboratory process that separates the platelets from the other components of the blood. It is the platelets that are required for the process. The separated platelets are treated and injected around your penis. You do not have to worry because the process takes less than 30 minutes and is completely painless. After a few weeks, you will start experiencing the results of the procedure in your sex life.

So, how does the process work? Once more, it is a simple process. The platelets that are injected around your penis stimulate stem cell growth. This is how you get to experience renewed energy and other additional benefits after going through the procedure.

What are the benefits of the o-shot?

There are several benefits that a man gets from the o-shot. First of all, the procedure results into enhanced blood circulation within the penis. Having a good circulation around the penis is a good thing because general functionality and even the process of erection depend on blood circulation. Therefore, a man who has received this procedure will experience much stronger and firmer erections than before. This is a definite boost to one’s sex life.

Second, the priapus shot has been shown to change the physical appearance of the penis in some men. It has been shown that the procedure can result into straightening and slight enlargement of the penis. The reason behind this observation is the rapid growth of stem cells that is stimulated by the platelet-rich plasma injected in the area during the procedure.

Therefore, men who get this procedure have their sex lives boosted because of the slight enlargement and straightening of the penis. Not that a penis that is not completely straight is a problem as such, but getting a completely straight one enhances the sexual experience.

So, the p-shot is a revolutionary procedure that helps men overcome their sexual problems, just like the 0-shot frees women from their sexual problems. There are several ways of getting the p-shot. You can check with your doctor on its availability and price. Here at AWAREmed Health and Wellness Resource Centre, our concern is to ensure that your health is at an optimum level all the time. You can contact Dr. Dalal Akoury for consultation on any of the problems of sexual dysfunction.

Could you be at risk for Prostate Cancer?

October 1, 2014

The Effect of Testosterone Level On Risk Of Prostate Cancer

Introduction

In this article, we shall examine the effect of testosterone level on the risk of prostate cancer. This has remained a subject of great controversy because of the divergent views that have been fronted. Basically the argument has been that using testosterone therapy on men who have been treated of prostate cancer in the past exposes them to the risk of developing the cancer afresh. The reason given for this has been that the therapy could reawaken sleeping cancer cells in the body of the patient, thus triggering a new and aggressive attack.

On the other end of the spectrum has been the argument that testosterone therapy is not necessarily associated with cancer recurrence. And there have been studies to support this. We shall look at both sets of arguments in detail.

Testosterone Therapy

This is a common form of therapy that is widely used to treat a number of complications in aging men. With the process of aging comes a sustained decline in the amount of testosterone in the body of men. A decline in the amount of testosterone in the body is associated with a number of problems. For instance, men at advanced ages usually experience decreased libido. This effect can be attributed to a complex interplay of hormones within the body which is triggered by a reduction in the amount of testosterone. In the same manner, symptoms such as general fatigue and even other forms of sexual dysfunction (apart from the low libido mentioned) have been treated by use of testosterone therapy.

Prostate Cancer

Prostate cancer is a common form of disease in men of advanced age. Although studies have indicated that the disease is able to affect men of even lower ages, it has been common for the disease to be associated with advanced age. The complex interaction between different factors in the body of men at advanced ages has been studies and the results have indicated that the risk of development of prostate cancer in men increases rapidly as they advance in age. So, with a decrease in the amount of testosterone, which automatically occurs with an increase in age, comes a rise in the risk for developing prostate cancer. Although this is true, it is worthwhile to mention that currently, studies are being conducted to determine whether the relationship is as a result of decline in testosterone levels in the prostate alone or the body as a whole.

Testosterone and Treatment of Prostate Cancer

For men who develop prostate cancer, the standard treatment procedure has been a radical reduction of the hormones in the body. This procedure has been used in many cases in which prostate cancer has developed and metastasized fully. However, studies have indicated that in some cases, prostate cancer is able to withstand such a treatment and recur in the future, if triggered by existence of the right conditions. The manner in which this occurs has been attributed to the ability of prostate cells to produce testosterone at a much higher level than before the hormone-reducing therapy was administered. What this means is that even if the amount of testosterone in the body of a patient is dramatically reduced by the procedure, the amount in the prostate remains the same, thus compensating for the loss. Therefore, when the right conditions are created, the cells that produce excess testosterone may develop into cancer cells.

Testosterone Therapy & Prostate Cancer

Standard procedure for tackling prostate cancer in men has been through surgery, chemotherapy and even immunotherapy. However, history and studies have indicated that when men who have been successfully treated of prostate cancer are exposed to testosterone therapy later in their lives, the possibility of the prostate cancer reoccurring is highly increased. If this is so, then testosterone therapy becomes dangerous for men who have been successfully treated of prostate cancer before.

However, there have been arguments to the contrary. Since a lot of studies have been conducted on this matter, we summarize the most important points here as follows.

First, although some studies have indicated that giving the therapy to men who have been successfully treated of prostate cancer exposes them to the risk of developing the disease afresh, the degree of risk remains minimal, at the best. Since the association has not been firmly established, the balance of probability has been that whether or not to administer the treatment to such patients depends on the judgment of the specialist. It is safe to say that the outcome of using testosterone therapy in men who have undergone successful treatment of prostate cancer cannot be predicted with certainty.

Second, there has been evidence to suggest that men with low levels of testosterone are at a higher risk of developing prostate cancer compared to those having normal testosterone levels. Therefore, if such men seek testosterone therapy in the future the risk of developing the cancer remains. This is so because testosterone therapy is not used as a prostate cancer treatment method.

Facial Wrinkles, How Do They Develop?

September 30, 2014

Forehead and Facial Wrinkles – How to Revive Your Youthful Look

Facial wrinkles

Facial wrinkles and the general wrinkles on the skin will come at some point of time however they can be put in control to keep the youthful look using facelift and other methods.

It is true that nobody wants to look like they are frowning with deep forehead and facial wrinkles. Realizing that this is a great point of concern to many people of both gender and all ages we have purpose to bring this article to help you learn on how to keep a smooth forehead and generally the entire facial look. To start us off it is important to take note that facial wrinkles whether they appear on the forehead, face or any other part of the body are very common for a number of reasons which may including the following:

  • Sun exposure
  • Genetic Aging
  • Common facial movements

As indicated from the introduction this article will be discussing the causes of facial wrinkles and the best possible ways of eliminating them from the expert’s point of view. We will be looking primarily at the face and the forehead wrinkles they can be particularly challenging as you age. This is the most visible area of your face which automatically comes into immediate contact with the public and is particularly prone to facial wrinkle development and because of this many people often make attempts of hiding their wrinkled forehead either by wearing large hats or styling their hair to cover the forehead. The environment around us provides very many causes of facial wrinkles and the good news is that just as we have many causes there are also many ways to reduce and decrease the appearance of lines and wrinkles on your face. Reaching out for the experts’ advice will be necessary and I will be advising you on who to consult if need arise however adopting the use of a good skin care regimen and implementing certain preventive procedures can help you maintain a smooth wrinkle free face for many years.

Processes Leading to Facial Wrinkles

Even small amounts of UV radiation trigger the processes that can cause facial wrinkles:

  • Sunlight damages collagen fibers (the major protein that gives structure to the skin). Sunlight also damages elastin, a protein in the skin that normally maintains the springiness and strength of tissue beneath the skin.
  • In response to this sun-induced elastin damage, the body produces large amounts of enzymes called metalloproteinase.
  • Some of these enzymes degrade (break down) collagen. The result is an uneven formation (matrix) of disorganized collagen fibers called solar scars. Repetition of this abnormal skin rebuilding causes wrinkles.
  • An important event in this process is the over-production of oxidants, also called free radicals. Excessive amounts of oxidants damage the body’s cells and even alter their genetic material. Oxidation may contribute to wrinkling by activating the specific metalloproteinase that degrade connective tissue.

In addition to sunlight, other factors may hasten the formation of facial wrinkles for example:

  • Cigarette Smoking – Smoking produces oxygen-free radicals, which accelerate wrinkles and aging skin disorders, and increase the risk for non-melanoma skin cancers. Studies also suggest that smoking and subsequent oxidation produce higher levels of metalloproteinase, the enzymes associated with wrinkles.
  • Air Pollution – Ozone, a common air pollutant, may be a particular problem for the skin, and deplete an important antioxidant, Vitamin E.

Repetitive Face Movements

Repetitive face movements can also cause facial wrinkles over time, and forehead wrinkles due to repetitive facial movements are incredibly common. Just think about how often you wrinkle your forehead–whether you’re frowning, feeling stressed out or expressing emotion. As the elastin in your skin weakens due to Genetic Aging, Hormonal Aging or Environmental Aging, your skin has a harder time “springing” back into place after you make these movements. As a result, your once temporary frown lines can become permanent wrinkles on your forehead.

Preventing Forehead & Facial Wrinkles

Of course, as with all anti-wrinkle advice, the best offense is a good defense. While you can’t fight the signs of aging forever, you can make wise skin care and lifestyle choices to keep your skin looking healthy, young and wrinkle–free for as long as possible.

  • Be Responsible About Sun Protection – Make sure that your daily moisturizer has an SPF of at least 15. And on days that you’re going to be in the sun for an extended period of time, use an even higher SPF facial lotion and reapply often.
  • Reduce Stress – Reducing Cultural Stress™ is an important part of the race towards anti-aging treatment particularly when it comes to preventing facial wrinkles. Reducing stress can decrease repetitive facial movements like frowning that may cause permanent lines and wrinkles.
  • Diet and Hydration – this is a very key component in anti-aging and anti-wrinkle treatments, diet and hydration are the most and critically important elements for maintaining a youthful looking skin. Eat an antioxidant-rich anti-aging diet to help counteract the effects of free radicals and don’t forget to drink plenty of water and also having plenty of juicy fruits and vegetables to help boost skin hydration and suppleness.
  • It’s Never Too Early for Anti-Wrinkle Creams and Serums – It is important to know that wrinkles begin to form long before they become visible on the skin’s surface. Therefore it’s never too early to begin using an anti-wrinkle cream, serum or treatment to improve your skin health and help prevent the signs of aging.
  • Smile – Frowning creates the repetitive motion most responsible for furrowed brows and forehead wrinkles. Be happy and smile more to prevent them.
Anti-Wrinkle Treatments for Forehead & Facial Wrinkles

The process of treating forehead wrinkles is the same as the anti-wrinkle treatment process for any other area of your face. Use products that restore hydration and firmness together with products that lift away dry, dehydrated, dead skin cells, bringing newer, suppler skin to the surface. And like I promise to introduce to you an expert in this line, dear reader it will interest you to know that doctor Dalal Akoury primarily founded the home of beauty where all matters relating to wrinkles skin, sagging breast and deteriorating quality of skin whether due to aging or any other cause is professionally addressed.

Radiation Therapy and Erectile Dysfunction

Radiation Therapy and Erectile Dysfunction – What Men Go Through

Erectile dysfunction

Radiation therapy is essential for prostate cancer treatment however it has great negative effect on sex life as it causes erectile dysfunction

There are many life threatening conditions we are often faced with in our daily lives some of these condition are hereditary while others affects us in the process of growth and development. The most painful thing is that often these conditions leave behind a long life scar that remain to be a constant reminder of the devastating painful condition the victims have been through. Let us take for instance the  cancer as a medical condition, and its treatment procedures. Actually the process of treating prostate cancer is one such condition that is able to transforms one’s life negatively and by extension the lives of those around the individual patient.

Radiation therapy is a well-known cause of erectile dysfunction (ED). The procedure (therapy) uses high levels of radiation to damage cancer cells’ DNA primarily to destroy them or reduce their growth and multiplication, in doing so the therapy helps in minimizing harm to the unaffected surrounding healthy cells. Prostate cancer is treatable by:

  • Pelvic external beam radiotherapy
  • Seed implants (brachytherapy)

Considering the pervasiveness of prostate cancer and the reduction in the mean age at diagnosis, it has become necessary to openly discuss the modalities of treating sexual dysfunctions emanating from radiation therapy as a method for treating prostate cancer. Great achievements have made by the experts over the last two decades to minimize the negative effects associated with radiation. It is also worth noting that, the advent of 3D conformal x-ray therapy and brachytherapy (seeds) have gone some way towards reducing radiation-induced erectile dysfunction, even though some men continue to suffer from this problem. Nonetheless at this point in time, it is still not very clear what the true incidence of sexual dysfunction is after brachytherapy and it remains to be seen whether newer techniques such as intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) will improve upon impotence rates.

Radiation therapy can cause erectile dysfunction in three ways. That is to say:

  • Arterial blockage can occur due to the development of a condition called endarteritis obliterans plus other more subtle changes can occur including direct damage to the lining of the blood vessels.
  • Radiation-induced nerve damage may occur. It has been established that there is a reduction in the number of erection-inducing nerves in the penis following exposure to low doses of radiation.
  • Direct erection tissue damage may occur and this can lead to leakage of blood from the erectile bodies (venous leak).

In radiation therapy there are two primary determinants of erectile dysfunction and they include:

  • Dose of radiation (how much)
  • Field of radiation (how wide)

Doses greater than 20 Gy (2000 rads) are frequently associated with large vessel injury meaning that, patients being treated with radiation for prostate cancer are receiving in excess of 70Gy. The wider the field of radiation, the less likely are blood vessels to recover. Given that the erection (cavernosal) artery is the only artery giving rise to erection, radiation exposure to this system may severely limit blood flow into the penis. It is therefore necessary that when you have been taken through this treatment procedure, you will need to seek medical help from the erectile dysfunction experts. I will therefore take this moment to introduce to you doctor Dalal Akoury an experienced medical professional in this line for more than two decades now. Calling her for an appointment will be the starting point and upon evaluating your condition in private and confidence she will administer the correct treatment which will leave you well, comfortable and full of fulfilled sex life again.

You may have not known and so it is essential to understand the penile anatomy and how it relates to the prostate gland.

  • The prostate gland sits above a band of muscle (urogenital diaphragm) and it is separated from the back portion of the erectile body (crus) only by a distance of less than one centimeter.
  • The urethra (urine channel) passes between the two erectile bodies into the bladder and as it does this it is known as the bulb of the penis.
  • It is important to understand that the bulb plays little if any role in the development of or maintaining erectile firmness and it is the tissue within the true erectile bodies (corpora cavernosa), which when damaged leads to erectile dysfunction.

Various studies have established that during 3D conformal x-ray therapy a significant dose of radiation is delivered to the back portion of the erectile bodies that is about 30% of the entire dose of radiation received by the prostate. Radiation therapy in the pelvis area of men can cause ED in 3 possible ways:

  • Arterial damage may block blood flow or damage the lining of the blood vessels that carry blood to the penis
  • Nerves in the pelvic area may become permanently damaged
  • Erectile tissue may be damaged, reducing blood flow to the penis or causing leakage of blood from erectile tissue (venous leak) during an erection

Some of the sexual side effects after radiation therapy may include the following:

  • Inability to achieve or maintain an erection (erectile dysfunction)
  • Weaker, less satisfying orgasms
  • Pain during ejaculation (although this usually goes away within several weeks)
  • Dry orgasm or retrograde ejaculation (orgasm without the discharge of semen)
  • Less semen ejaculated

How soon after having Radiation Therapy are men likely to have ED?

Even with the most precise radiation therapy, men may experience some ED for the first few months after treatment. Many of the sexual side effects of radiation are slow and gradual, and may take as long as six months to several years to appear. Unfortunately, radiation-induced ED is usually permanent.

There are a number of treatments available like early post-treatment evaluation and early institution of a trial of drug treatment as soon as the patient experiences any trouble with his erectile function. Besides these various therapies can also be applied:

  • First line therapy includes management of related medical conditions and psychological support combined with oral therapy.
  • Second line includes vacuum erection device therapy, penile injection therapy, and transurethral prostaglandin suppository administration.
  • Third line therapy is penile implant surgery.

Does anti-androgen therapy make ED either better or worse?

Hormone treatment (also called androgen deprivation therapy or androgen suppression therapy) for prostate cancer attempts to stop, block or remove the production of testosterone and all androgens to slow down or stop the progression of cancer. When hormone therapy is used, it is common for sexual problems to occur within the month following the beginning of therapy. Other common sexual side effects with hormone treatment include:

  • Inability to get or keep an erection (ED)
  • Difficulty climaxing
  • Orgasm without discharge of semen (dry orgasm)
  • Weaker, less satisfying orgasms

Having understood the magnitude of the side effects of prostate cancer treatment using radiation therapy, it will be very painful to jump into another health condition after struggling with prostate cancer. For the problems that may be associated with sexual dysfunction reach out for doctor Dalal Akoury for instant and professional medical attention today. You must not battle with erectile dysfunction because help is only a phone call away.

Sex Hormones Depression: Restoring sex Hormones cures it.

September 29, 2014

Sex Hormones Depression; Neurotransmitters: Depression, Anxiety

Sex Hormones Depression

Sex Hormones Depression

Sex hormones Depression is real. There is a clear relationship between sex hormones and mood disorders in human beings. But before we delve into the topic, it is important to highlight the definition of a few basic terms at this pointSex hormones Depression is real.

What are Hormones?

Basically, a hormone is a special biochemical compound in the body that is secreted by specialized glands and used to perform specific functions. Hormones can be produced either by specialized cells within the brain or by the cells of specialized glands which are located at specific points within the body.

For hormones to work efficiently, they depend on the activity of special cells that are able to respond to their signals. These cells are known as receptors. What happens is that many different organs and tissues of the body have specific types of receptors for specific hormones. Therefore, a particular hormone is able to affect an organ that has receptors that match it.

Therefore, when hormones are produced, they are able to travel throughout the body via the normal body circulatory systems. However, they only affect specific organs in the body, those that have the right receptors. Further, the activity of hormones in the body may be regulated by other hormones. This usually happens in the form of the presence of one hormone either signaling the production or inhibition of another.

What are Neurotransmitters? How do they relate to Sex Hormones Depression?

Neurotransmitters are special biochemical compounds that trigger activity between nerve cells. Seen as messengers, neurotransmitters function by linking activity between two nerve cells: the one that is producing it and a different nerve or brain cell.

Hormones have been known to act in a manner similar to that of neurotransmitters, thus affecting the mood of individuals. Although there are many different types of hormones, those ones that are related to sex have received a lot of attention in the role that they play in influencing moods, particularly when acting as neurotransmitters. There are different types of sex hormones which include the following: testosterone, estrogen, dopamine and progesterone. Of all these, testosterone and estrogen are the ones that have received a lot of attention with regard to the role that, when acting as neurotransmitters, they play in causing anxiety and depression in individuals. So when Sex Hormones Depression occurs by restoring sex hormones imbalances we may alleviate the symptoms of depression.

How sex hormones depression and anxiety occur?

There are several ways in which different types of sex hormones can be used to help patients with anxiety and depression. We shall look at the most important ones briefly.

Testosterone

First, when the level of testosterone in an individual falls, symptoms such as low energy, lack of vitality and low libido appear. Interestingly, the reverse of this process is also true. When a patient receives a testosterone therapy, there is a sudden increase in energy, vitality and libido. Importantly, depression and anxiety are characterized by low libido and lack of energy. Although these observations are influenced by so many other factors, it can be concluded that testosterone has a role to play in helping male patients who are showing signs of depression and anxiety.

Second, studies indicate that there is an association between low level of testosterone and depression. What this means is that some men who have abnormally low levels of testosterone are prone to depression. These observation leads to the conclusion that testosterone can be used to help male patients suffering from depression.

When used to treat depression in men who have low levels of sex hormones, testosterone has produced mixed results. However, the most important thing to note is that in some cases, the hormone has proven effective in treating depression. This means that it can actually be used to treat depression in men, when applied as a single therapy.

Estrogen

The possible use of estrogen in helping women overcome depression and anxiety can best be understood when one considers the normal cycles in women that characterize its production. Basically, changes in estrogen levels take place in three major phases: before menstruation, during the postpartum period and after the menopause period. In all these phases, hormonal changes in the body of a woman cause erratic changes in the mood. It is common for many women to experience depressive symptoms during all these stages. The severity, and extent of the occurrence, however varies a great deal. Since the mood changes that occur during these periods are usually as a result of hormonal changes, with estrogen being the biggest contributor, it then follows that estrogen and other sex hormones are directly linked to depression. Therefore, they can be used to ease depression symptoms in women.

For women who are past their menopause and are experiencing depression, estrogen has been successfully used to overcome the symptoms of depression. Although there are many other factors that may influence the process, the consensus is that hormone therapy has proven to be an effective method of treating depression in different kinds of patients.
