The Brogue Hog

Whether at work or under the cover, men are under constant pressure to perform. Unfortunately, both men and women can place too much importance on this, and search out the fastest, easiest answers. Fortunately there’s an alternative. By arming ourselves with information on the newest natural options, we can choose the best treatment for our individual needs.

Viagra’s fishy replacement?

By now if you’ve heard of Bob Dole you’ve heard of Viagra. But have you heard of Irukandji? This soft and toxic jellyfish may soon be giving Viagra, and men everywhere, a very hard time. A sting from Irukandji causes intense pain in the limbs, cramps, vomiting, difficulty breathing, anxiety, and sometimes cardiac and lung problems. However, it also causes prolonged erection. Currently, this is a lousy trade off. Realizing this, Australian researcher Lisa Gershwin is attempting to separate the erection-causing feature. But don’t be tossing your little blue pills just yet. More Irukandji need to be studied before an impotency medication can be manufactured.

X-rated chewing gum

Those wanting to build stronger sperm now have more options than loose boxers and cool temperatures. A simple green African plant may boost the power of the troops down under. Call it a miracle. Call it the khat plant. Lab tests at London’s King College have found that sperm treated with cathine, a chemical in khat, became fertile faster and stayed that way longer. Though so far the studies are only on mice and rabbits, early human tests suggest a similar result. But before you get too excited, it’s worthwhile knowing that potency through khat’s cathine is currently the domain of researchers. Why? Munching on khat has potentially dangerous side effects like delusions and elevated pulse and blood pressure. Due to this, the current focus is on finding the right cathine concentration, and making sure it’s safe for more than mice.

Just breathe

Occasional impotence is common and often caused by anxiety. Long term failure to function, though, is another matter. According to the UK’s Sexual Dysfunction Association: “Until about 20 years ago, erectile dysfunction was considered to be caused almost entirely by psychological factors but we now know that physical conditions are present in about 75% of male sufferers.” So unless you’re very young or very stressed, impotence is probably not in your head. However, it may be in your glans. The glans, or head of the penis, needs a strong and constant flow of blood to stay stiff. This requires effective circulation. In short, if your blood isn’t moving neither will your penis. Speedier circulation can be gained through a healthy diet and aerobic exercise. Deep breathing is another way to circulate. By bringing more blood to the lungs, more blood goes to the heart. This is a sweat-free way to strengthen both blood flow and phallus.

P.C. isn’t just politically correct

Finding and working the PC, or pubococcygeus muscle, is a sure way to satisfy you and your partner. If you’ve ever had to stop in mid-stream while urinating, you’ve already exercised it. This muscle has another use. Training it develops sexual power. Authors of The Multi-Orgasmic Man; Mantak Chia and Douglas Abrams Arava, state that training this muscle helps “strengthen your erections, intensify your orgasms, and separate your orgasms from ejaculation.” To pump this muscle up, first locate it. Most men feel this muscle at their perineum, behind the testicles and ahead of the anus. Now inhale and focus on the prostate, perineum and anus. Next exhale and squeeze the muscle around your anus and prostate. Then release and relax. According to The Multi-Orgasmic Man, this exercise should be repeated 9 to 36 times.

Performance plus

Though it often takes center stage, the penis an overrated performer. Satisfying a woman also involves foreplay and sensitivity to her needs. No matter how potent you are, if these two things aren’t also considered your partner will be looking at her watch rather than into your eyes.

If exercise is so obviously the answer to losing weight after
childbirth, then why aren’t more women doing it? The answer
isn’t as tricky as you may think.

One problem most new mothers will report is that they don’t feel
that they have enough time to exercise after birth. This is a
complaint among just about anyone who has ever attempted to set
up a routine exercise program, not just women who have given
birth!

While it is true that taking care of your newborn should be
first and foremost in your mind, it is also important that you
set aside time for your own health and well being. This includes
setting aside enough time to engage in routine exercise. Finding
time may be as simple as blocking off a certain number of hours
during the day to work out.

If you are having trouble finding time to exercise, there are a
number of things you can do to ensure that you stick with some
type of exercise routine:

Set aside a specific time every day to exercise. Even if you
just set aside 10 minutes of time in the morning, your body will
benefit from regular exercise. Remember that stretching, yoga
and other forms of activity are also considered exercise, and
will help your body return to its pre-pregnancy shape much more
quickly.

Ask your partner to help. Ask your partner or another friend or
family member if they would be willing to watch your newborn for
a set time during the week. This could be two or three times per
week , or as often as every other day.

Consider a sitter. You might need to have someone come in for an
hour per day to watch your baby while you work out. Not sure who
to ask? Consider parents, grandparents, friends, neighbors. You
can even put an ad out in your local paper. If you have friends
with older children, you might ask one of them if they have any
children with experience watching young children. Many gyms also
offer daycare for parents who need an hour to work out, as do
many local recreation centers.

Take just ten minutes. If you are truly time deprived, you can
still get a great work out in for the day in 10 minute
intervals. There are no hard and fast rules that state that you
have to work out 30 minutes in a row for exercise to be
effective. If you have just 10 free minutes in your day,
consider climbing some stairs or going for a brisk walk. Do that
two to three times per day and you have worked in a full blown
work out.

Consider home work out videos. You can pop these easily into
your VHS or DVD player and work out from the convenience of you
home, saving travel time and much more. There are even many
videos that are targeted toward moms, where you can work out
with your newborn!

NaProTechnology is a new medical science whereby the diagnostic and therapeutic energies of the physician are directed toward the identification and treatment of reproductive and gynecologic problems in a manner that is aimed at restoring fertility. Because NaProTechniques “cooperate with” normal reproductive functions in the process or correcting abnormalities, fertility can be restored rather than bypassed through artificial means. The end result is that gynecologic and reproductive problems can be solved without the use of artificial drugs, devices, or surgical procedures that have the effect of bypassing or damaging normal bodily functions.

The Effect of Insulin Resistance on Female Reproductive Function

In modern day society, obesity is a common problem. One of the ways that the body defends itself from obesity is by making insulin ineffective, because insulin is a fat accumulating hormone. When insulin looses its effectiveness in the body, this situation is called insulin resistance. Insulin resistance can and frequently does happen in patients who are not overweight and even sometimes in patients who are thin. The problem of insulin resistance leads to a situation of high insulin levels which impairs the normal function of the ovary. This can result in increased male hormones, decreased or absent ovulation, inability to stimulate the ovary and miscarriage.

Insulin resistance can be treated with weight loss and also with drugs. One drug is metformin, which enhances weight loss and also increases the function of the ovary thus improving ovulation. Two other drugs, which are insulin sensitizing medications, are Avandia and Actos. All of these may increase the ovaries ability to ovulate. One of the precautions with Avandia and Actos is that women who are thought to be infertile may have surprise pregnancies because of the ovulation enhancing activity of these insulin-sensitizing agents.

One patient came to me who was overweight and had significant insulin resistance with several prior miscarriages. She lost some weight, was placed on metformin and subsequently conceived and carried a normal pregnancy to term. The addressing of her insulin difficulties both treated infertility and prevented miscarriage.

Another patient came to me who had been evaluated in the Philippines at the Makati Medical Center. This medical center is one of the top medical centers in the Philippines. There she was evaluated for recurrent miscarriage. Among her findings, there were thyroid difficulties and insulin resistance. In my evaluation, I also found evidence for B-12 and folate deficiencies, and several other medically correctable abnormalities. She was given physiologic progesterone supplementation, an insulin sensitizing agent, and an enhanced program of nutritional support. She conceived again and finally delivered a very healthy baby who was quite active and intelligent and was standing at the age of two months according to the “possibly biased” report of his parents.

These cases suggest that insulin resistance is a new concept in fertility management, and addressing this cause can help women who previously were infertile or had miscarriages to successfully achieve a healthy birth at term of a new baby.

In some cases, bringing home your brand new baby doesn’t bring
happy thoughts like the ones you were expecting. If this is the
case, you may be suffering from postpartum depression. If you
have suffered depression anytime before giving birth, your
chances of suffering postpartum depression are even greater.

Postpartum depression can occur in up to 16% of new moms, but
this number may actually be higher due to the amount of
untreated depression. Don’t confuse ‘baby blues’ with postpartum
depression. Baby blues typically last from a few days to a week
right after childbirth. This is very common and does not need
treatment. An easy way to cope with it is to ask for help and
support from friends and family. It also helps to talk to other
new moms who are experiencing the same feelings.

Postpartum depression, on the other hand, can occur anytime in
the first year of your baby’s life. If you have any of these
symptoms, you may be suffering from postpartum depression.

- sad, irritable, angry, frustrated - feeling like you are a
terrible mother - guilt, not feeling worthy - trouble sleeping,
always exhausted - thinking there is no light at the end of the
tunnel - an extreme change in weight, or loss of appetite - you
can’t concentrate or remember things - constantly worrying about
things - you burst out crying for no apparent reason - anxiety -
do not want to talk or be with friends and family - your baby
does not make you feel happy - wishing you didn’t have a baby -
wanting to hurt yourself or your baby

Suffering from postpartum depression can be life changing. But
you need to realize that it is not your fault. You aren’t alone
in this. Even Brooke Shields had postpartum depression, and she
has written a book about it. Things will get better. And until
they do, there are many different support systems - friends,
family, doctors and nurses, peer groups, counsellors, and
hotlines.

Postpartum depression can be mild, moderate, or severe - so talk
to your doctor to determine what type of treatment is best for
you.
