Your Big vagina

2009-11-08T21:16:00.000-08:00

Written by Dr David Delvin, GP and family planning specialist
Worries about vaginal and vulval size are extremely common among women.

The vulva

The vulva is the visible part of the female genitals. It includes the clitoris, the labia, and the urinary opening.

This is scarcely surprising, because a woman's feelings about her own vagina and vulva are central to her sexuality.
If you are concerned about your own vagina or vulva, please don't hesitate to consult a doctor and get yourself examined.
Quite a few women who write to us say that they're not happy to consult their own GPs about this subject.
In the UK, a very useful alternative is your local family planning clinic. These clinics are staffed by (mainly) female doctors who are skilled in vaginal examination - and who carry out dozens of such examinations each week. They are also used to dealing with worries about ‘dimensions'. So they can rapidly give you an expert opinion about the size of your vagina or vulva.

Are you too big?

If you've never had children, it's almost unthinkable that your vagina or vulva is too big.
Unfortunately, there's a very common myth in some parts of Britain - a myth to the effect that a woman who has lots of sex will get a large vagina. This is just nonsense! No matter how much sex you have, it won't affect your vaginal or vulval size.
But what does affect your dimensions is childbirth. Unfortunately, the more babies you have, the more likely your vagina is to become widened. This is due to damage to the muscles and other supporting tissues of the vaginal walls. It's more common after difficult and prolonged labours. It can often be prevented by very determined use of the postnatal exercises that midwives and physiotherapists teach.

What happens if your vagina or vulva really is too big?

Let’s look at the vagina (ie the interior) first.
If your vaginal 'barrel' is excessively big, so that you are 'slack', this can have the following effects:

intercourse may be less satisfactory for you.
intercourse may be less satisfying for your partner.
you may be more liable to experience the phenomenon of air getting into (and out of) the vagina - a phenomenon known in some parts of the country as 'fanny farting'.
bath water may get into your vagina - though this isn't likely to be a health problem.
much more seriously, lax muscles and ligaments around the vagina may lead to prolapse (descent of the womb and other organs) in middle age or later life.

What can be done about a slack vagina?

If your vagina is overly large and slack, the possible courses of action are as follows.

Urgently set about tightening up your vagina by doing pelvic floor muscle exercises. Any midwife, nurse, physiotherapist, or doctor can teach you to do them. However, you'll need to do them intensively for six months in order to get much improvement. To get you started, try this:
1. tighten up the muscles at the front of the lower part of your body - as if you were trying hard to stop yourself peeing.
2. hold this contraction for 10 seconds.
3. relax for 10 seconds.
4. contract again for 10 seconds.
5. continue to contract and relax like this for a full five minutes.
6. repeat four times daily.
You could also buy a vaginal muscle developer. However, these are expensive - about £75 to £200 - and you do have to work at them for quite a while to get any improvement. They’re now readily available through sex shops and the new mail-order organisations which sell sexual devices to women.
Go to a gynaecologist (in the UK you'll usually need a GP's referral letter first) to discuss the possibility of a 'repair' operation. This draws the weakened pelvic tissues together and firms everything up.
Finally, please note that as a temporary expedient, a woman whose vagina has become too big can improve the quality of intercourse (for herself and her partner) by simply popping a small vibrator inside during intercourse. This may sound surprising, but in fact, if you have had several children and become quite loose, there may well be plenty of room for both a small vibrator and a penis inside you - thus giving a much snugger fit.

What if you feel your vulva is too large?

A lot of women are desperately worried about the appearance of their vulvas – feeling that they are ‘too large’ or that the labia are ‘too long', or that bits of it protrude unequally. (Sometimes they are influenced in these views by having seen misleading pornographic magazines or videos – in which the ‘heroine’s’ vulva appears impossibly neat and tidy!)
If that applies to you, my advice is to go to a Family Planning Clinic – because the women doctors there are dealing with this sort of worry all the time.
Very often, they’ll be able to reassure you that you are in fact normal.
But if there really is an abnormality, it can be corrected by surgery – carried out by either a gynaecologist or a plastic surgeon. Since the beginning of this century, such operations have become increasingly common; however, a high proportion of them are performed privately, rather than on the NHS. However, some National Health gynaecologists are willing to shorten the labia of women who are distressed by an irregular appearance.

What if you think that you're too small?

Alternatively, do you think that you are 'built' too small?
I have to tell you that statistically this is most unlikely. Vast numbers of patients think that they are excessively small, but only once in a blue moon are they actually right.
The symptoms that make them feel that they are unusually small include:

pain on intercourse
inability to have sex at all
inability to insert a tampon.

But the vast majority of women who complain of these problems do eventually turn out to be normal-sized. Nearly always, they are suffering from a degree of vaginismus - the common condition that makes the vaginal muscles contract whenever any approach is made to the genitals.
To find out if your vagina really is too small, you should have an internal examination by an experienced doctor who is good at putting patients at their ease.

Apparent 'smallness'

There are rare cases in which the apparent ‘smallness’ is due to the fact that the vagina has a ‘wall’ (a septum) down the middle, or has developed as a ‘double’ barrel. Happily, these women can be cured surgically.

The obvious place to go for this is a Family Planning Clinic - especially as the staff are mainly female. Indeed, many of the doctors and nurses have been specifically trained in dealing with this particular problem.
In the unlikely event that your vagina really does turn out to be too small, it is possible for a skilled gynaecologist to enlarge it surgically for you.
However, I must stress that in 30 years of practising sexual medicine, I have yet to see a patient who actually needed this operation.

Healthy Vaginas

2009-11-08T20:58:00.000-08:00

A healthy vagina is as clean and pure as a carton of yoghurt...
Now there's a statement to combat some of the negative messages we have received about our nether regions. We are often taught that our vaginas are dirty and germ filled - generally not a nice place to go. But in fact as Dr Hillier from the Magee-Womans hospital in Pittsburgh states a "healthy vagina is as clean and pure as a carton of yoghurt". from Woman An Intimate Geography by Natalie Angier.
A healthy vagina is a self regulating system and is cleaner than our mouths and much much cleaner than our rectums. The vaginal ecosystem is a mutually advantageous relationship between the vagina itself and the micro-organisms that inhabit it.
Your vagina is full of life in the form of bacteria but these are good bacteria fighting the good battle to keep bad bacteria out of your reproductive system. These good bacteria are called lactobacilli which are the same organisms found in yoghurt. In a healthy vagina these lactobacilli maintain a acidic environment - around 3.8 - 4.5 pH ( a little bit more acidic than black coffee which has a pH of 5).
Vaginal mucus is "made up of the same things found in blood serum, the clear, thin, sticky liquid that remains behind when the solid components of blood, like clotting factors, are separated away. Vaginal discharge consists of water, albumin - the most abundant protein in the body - a few stray white blood cells, and mucin, the oily substance that gives the vagina and cervix their slippery sheen. Discharge is not dirt, certainly, and it is not a toxic waste product of the body in the sense of urine and faeces. No, no, no,. It is the same substance as what is inside the vagina, neither better nor worse, pulled down because we're bipedal and gravity exists, and because on occasion the cup runneth over."page 53 - 4 Woman, an intimate Geography by Natalie Angier
What about smell?? We have all heard the jokes that compare our private parts to fish. A healthy vagina has a slightly sweet pungent odour. If it smells anymore pungent than this or takes on a fishy odour then this is usually a sign that the delicate balance has been upset and the Lactobacilli (good bacteria) are losing the battle.
There are numerous things that can upset the balance in the vagina and lead to the smelly condition called bacterial vaginosis.

Poor hygiene - if you haven't bathed for a week - things will start getting aromatic. It is not necessary to scrub or use heavily perfumed soaps or sprays on your genital area. Clean water is best, as lots of perfumed products used here can cause thrush.
Illness - Pelvic Infections can lead to vaginosis. Candida is a condition where the vagina becomes too alkaline (due to diet, oral contraceptives, stress) causing some of the not so good bacteria to flourish. More info on thrush here

Pregnancy and the resultant change in your hormone levels can cause thrush.

Drugs like Oral contraceptives and antibiotics can contribute to vaginosis.
Low levels of lactobacilli - some women have less robust lactobacilli leaving them open to infections.
Douching is really bad for the vagina. It kills off the lactobacilli leaving your vagina open to attack from the bad guys.
Sperm are highly alkaline, so when they arrive in the vagina, the vagina needs to work extra hard to return itself to its acidic status quo, this can cause a brief increase in odour. If a woman has many sexual partners and does not use condoms, that is, is subjected to may different kinds of sperm, she may be more prone to vaginosis as her body tries to adjust.

The basics of maintaining a healthy Vagina

Do not douche. The only exception to this rule which may be acceptable is if you are trying to conceive and are trying to alter your vaginas pH for a greater good. Do it as little as you can and increase the number of lactobacilli in your diet through upping your intake of yoghurt or taking acidophilus tablets
Use condoms if you have multiple partners - which you should be using anyway to avoid STD's.
Eat a good healthy diet, minimising sugar intake (sugar helps the bad guys grow). Include good yoghurt or acidophilus every day.
Wear cotton underwear - this stops things getting too steamy down there, allowing good air flow.
Do not use perfumes/spray on the genital area.

How to Have A Sweet Smelling Vagina

2009-11-08T20:56:00.000-08:00

Every woman is unique with different tastes and smells. Here are some ways to have those tastes and smells keep your partner attracted to you.

Step 1
Diet.
Eating a healthy balanced diet will maintain healthy ph levels in your vagina. Eating lactobacillus will keep your insides cleansed. I get my from Sunrider, see below.
Foods to avoid that will not help you smell sweet:
Red Meats
Fish
Egg Yolks
Soy Beans
Junk Food
Cheese
Milk
Drugs
Alcohol
Cigarettes
Food that change taste temporary:
Onions
Asparagus
Garlic
Curry
Foods that add pleasant taste and smell:
Pineapple
Cherries
Bananas
Oranges
Mango
Liquid Chrollyphl
Step 2
Wash.
Poor hygiene leads to smells and problems later. Make sure you always wipe front to back to prevent e.coli (rectum last).
Wash down there twice a day.
Step 3
Natural Materials.
Only wear cotton underwear. If you wear panty liner make sure they are breathable not the kind with a plastic liner. Do not wear tampons or diaphragms for a long time. Do not wear underwear at night. Let it all air out.
Step 4
Safe Sex.
Always use a condom unless you are in a long term relationship.
Flavored gels can change the taste or smell. Mint is the strongest and will make things highly intense and sensitive. Flavored powders brushed lightly on the outside of your body or on you sheets.
Step 5
Drink Teas.
Sunrider Calli tea is a great cleanser and detoxifier. Brew one bag in a pot of tea with stevia and you will be healthy, cleansed and feel lighter.

Vagina Health Tips for a Sweet Smell & Optimum Health

2009-11-08T20:54:00.000-08:00

All women need to be aware of their vagina’s health. Keeping it healthy means you will avoid infections and also have a pleasant odor and the tips enclosed will ensure that you have optimum vagina health
A healthy vagina is home to a huge variety of minute organisms. Normally, they live harmoniously in an acidic environment that prevents the overproduction of any one species in the vagina and helps combat foreign bodies that can infect it.
Vaginal infections are common and occur when the delicate balance is disrupted can cause discomfort in the area and unpleasant smells.
Firstly, the health of a women’s Vagina and the smell are influenced by overall lifestyle, diet and weight.
If you follow the tips below you can ensure a healthy vagina so here they are:
1. Your Overall Diet
Eat a healthy diet. Cigarettes alcohol and drugs should be eliminated if you can or cut down, as should heavily spiced foods and junk food.
Try and eat as naturally as possible (food free of additives) and make sure you drink lots of water.
What you put into your body comes out in its secretions and the vagina is the same. Ever noticed how your sweat smells differently after eating spiced food, then you will realize why this is so important.
2. Cleaning
Odor-producing bacteria can thrive on the vulva and need to be cleaned off regularly to prevent vaginal inflections and prevent odors.
Washing the genital area daily with a simple, fragrance-free soap is normally enough to keep the vagina area clean and fresh.
Your vagina self-cleans itself so douching is not required.
Furthermore, douching upsets the delicate balance between good and bad bacteria in the vaginal ecosystem and can actually be harmful.
Because infections such as yeasts are found in the intestine, it is important after going to the toilet to wipe front to back i.e. you need to wipe the vagina area first and the rectum last!
During sex it is also very important to avoid contamination of the vagina area with organisms and bodies from the bowel, or rectum area.
3. Clothes to wear
To prevent vaginal infections and keep your vagina healthy make sure your clothing allows the area to breath. To do this avoids tight garments and fabrics containing a high percentage of synthetic fibers such as nylon.
Remember, that tampons and diaphragms left for too long in the vagina can create a very strong unpleasant odor as well.
4. Safe sex
Finally, if you don’t know your partner very well, always Use a condom and a spermicidal to reduce the chances of infection and disease.
If you are unlucky enough to get an infection, the symptoms are outlined below of three of the most common ones.
The good news is that to reclaim a healthy vagina is easy, if you are alerted to the problem and take action.
1. Bacterial vaginosis
Bacterial vaginosis (BV) accounts for more than 50% of all vagina related health visits.
About half of all women with BV vaginal infections have no obvious symptoms.
The most common symptom is a thin, white to light grey discharge with an offensive fishy like smell that is extremely unpleasant.
The odor is strongest when the discharge is exposed to any alkaline substance and this includes soap and semen, it will therefore be at its strongest and most obvious after cleaning or sex.
BV is easy to treat and is normally treated by a course of antibiotics prescribed by a doctor.
2. Yeast
Although yeast infections are probably the most common type of vaginal infection, many women never bother to seek help.
Most simply recover naturally and others treat themselves with anti-fungal vaginal creams available without prescription from the chemist.
Symptoms of yeast infections include:
Vulvar itching combined with irritation in the vagina area and redness.
If the urinary opening becomes inflamed, urination will increase and discomfort will be present.
If the infection is severe, the vulva will swell and fine breaks, called fissures occur. This causes vaginal discharges to become thicker and whiter.
Yeast infections are the result of excessive growth of a family of fungi that normally live in any healthy vagina, but when they increase the balance of the vagina is upset and problems occur.
The most common infection is vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC), which is usually caused by a fungus named Candida albicans.
There are two types of VVC:
Uncomplicated, a mild infection that responds to therapy. Or recurrent which, is more severe and often occurs in women who have diabetes or are infected with less treatable forms of yeast, such as Candida glabratia.
Recurrent VVC, normaly occurs more than four times a year and needs a long initial treatment of around two weeks and then a follow-up therapy course for up to 6 months or longer.
Certain factors are common causes such as nylon and Lycra clothing that traps heat and moisture, so be aware of our clothing tips for a healthy vagina we noted earlier.
Other common causes include:
Obesity, pregnancy, diabetes and suppression of the immune system during illnesses, the use of oral contraceptives, and eating excessive amounts of sugars, starch, and yeasts.
If you do have a yeast vaginal infection, your doctor will ordinarily treat you with either prescription or nonprescription antifungal creams and suppositories referred to earlier.
If you have a problem get professional help and you will soon have a healthy vagina. Do not ignore symptoms or think they will go away get help quickly.
3. Trichomoniasis
Trichomoniasis, or "trich," is a sexually transmitted vaginal infection suffered by a huge amount of women worldwide and this runs into tens of millions.
While infection with trichomoniasis can be uncomfortable, it is not in anyway a serious threat to overall health.
The symptoms are normally vulvar and vaginal burning and itching. The burning is normally at its height after intercourse.
In addition, there may be vulvar swelling and frequent and uncomfortable urination.
There is a heavy vaginal discharge, usually yellowish or green, which may or may not have an offensive smell.
The trichomonad is a minute parasite. It has three tails at its narrow end and swims with them and the white blood cells of the body follow.
These blood cells literally chase down the trichomonad and kill it by eating it.
Symptoms occur only when the body's natural defense are swamped by with sheer number of reproducing trichomonads and the white blood cells cannot cope.
Trichomoniasis is usually easily diagnosed and antibiotic treatment cures it in the majority of cases.
Follow the tips above for a healthy vagina and if you do have a problem don’t worry or be embarrassed simply seek help quickly and clear up the problem, in the vast majority of cases treatment is quick, easy and painless

The Multi-orgasmic Man - Fact Or Fiction?

2009-10-22T20:44:00.000-07:00

The ancient Chinese discovered that ejaculation and orgasm are distinct. These has also been confirmed by Western doctors. When you ejaculate, you release a hormone called prolactin and this makes you tired and makes your pillow more attractive than the perky breasts right next to you. The trick is to turn off your ejaculation reflex and and have orgasms up your spine, into your brain and then throughout your entire body.
What if you were a multi-orgasmic man? You would go all night long and have as many orgasms as you want. Your ideal woman will be screaming out your name all night long. Go easy on your her though. Because she might get a sore throat.
But, the best thing about being a multi-orgasmic man is sex transmutation. You convert your sexual energy into creative energy which can be used to make a successful business. This was reported in "Think And Grow Rich" by Napolean Hill. Hill stated that the most powerful energy is sexual energy and you should use this energy to charge up your thoughts and focus your attention. When you ejaculate, you lose a lot of energy that should be used to produce more goods and services. It is also hypothesised that ejaculation takes years of your life.
Do you want to know the exact steps to become a multi-orgasmic man? Find out in "SEX IQ: ALL The Shocking Suppressed Secrets Of Female Orgasms Exposed And How You Can Be The Sexy Loving Romantic Hero That Women Desire And Men RESPECT" by Harry Mete. Go here to learn about the female orgasm.

Kegel exercises: stronger orgasms, stop erectile dysfunction, stop premature ejaculation

2009-10-22T20:36:00.000-07:00

This video is for both men and women:

“Kegels” are exercises that strengthen the pubococcygeal muscles. I call these muscles the orgasm muscles because they involuntarily contract during orgasm.
Strong orgasm muscles are key for the female orgasm, especially squirting G spot orgasms (female ejaculation). The main “physical” reason why women can’t cum or their orgasms are weak is because their orgasm muscles are weak.
When women have strong orgasms, you can feel their vaginas contract around your penis. How many times have you felt that? When a woman’s orgasm muscles are super strong, her orgasmic contractions feel like a vice grip around your penis and they push it out.
The corrupt pharamceutical industry has created a bogus disease call “FSD” (female sexual dysfunction) and con women into buying all kinds of stupid expensive drugs so they can orgasm. Most times, all these women need to do are kegels and they will cum with the thunder.
Strong orgasm muscles also give men strong orgasms. I’ve been doing kegels for 4 years and my orgasm muscles are so strong that my entire body spasms when I orgasm and my ejaculate shoots over a metre.
Kegels are a free and effective remedy for erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation. You do not need drugs.
Kegels are also the foundation of being a multi-orgasmic man. When your orgasm muscles are strong and you have control over them, you can have non-ejaculatory orgasms. You have an orgasm, but no ejaculation. You have orgasm up your spine, into your brain and throughout your body. You don’t lose your erection, lose interest in sex or get tired when you have non-ejaculatory orgasms because you don’t release the hormone prolactin. This means you can have multiple orgasms (orgasms within minutes or seconds of one another) and last for hours if you want to.
So kegels lead to the next level of orgasm: ejaculatory orgasms in women and non-ejaculatory orgasms in men.

Penis Length

2009-10-22T20:22:00.001-07:00

Does size matter? The short answer is yes.
Does height matter? Does personality matter? Does muscularity matter? Does humour matter? Does intelligence matter? Does education matter? Does social standing matter? Does your job matter? Does your bank account matter? Do multi-orgasmic sex skills matter? Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes & yes.
Will the lack of any one of these things stop an amazing wanting a healthy, loving, multi-orgasmic relationship with you? No, except for personality and multi-orgasmic sex skills.
Where do you fit in the “penis continuum”?

<3″: micro-penis
3-5″: small
5-7″:average
7-9″:large
>9″:huge

What’s the ideal penis length? I could say something “original” like “it depends, everyone’s different, just be yourself”, but I’m not lame. I’ll put my arse on the line and make a decision. I’m not one of those so-called experts who teases you with a headline, refuses to take a position and then tells you some story about the history of a particular issue.
In my opinion, the ideal penis length is 8″ and it’s not because my penis is also 8″. I think penis size is analogous to breast size: big breasts look super sexy (eg D cups), but anything bigger starts looking weird (or is fake). Women find a large penis extremely visually arousing and this makes them extremely wet and horny.
Here’s the weird thing: my penis stopped growing when I was 18 and then I started enlarging it when I was in my mid 20s.
Do you want to know how I did it? Then instantly download SEX IQ.
I’ll give you a tip: it involves “progressive overload”.

How To Wash Your Vagina

2009-08-21T19:51:00.000-07:00

Steps

Get in your shower in the most comfortable position to wash your vagina. This could be either standing with the shower head running or even squatting while the tap is running.
If you are left handed, use your left hand or if you are right handed, use your right hand. Gently rub your vagina with your index, middle and ring finger with water. This will remove any heavy residue already there.
Take a wash cloth or just a cup, to run water on your vagina. Don't rub, or get too hot of water. That could lead into irritation.
Make sure that if you choose to use soap that don't get it into the vagina. That could lead to burning and irritation.

Tips

If you decide to use a body wash, make sure that it is sensitive for your vagina!
Make sure when you go to clean your vagina, that your hand is clean, and don't have an soap on them, if you don't want to use soap.

Warnings

Be gentle as hard rubbing could possibly damage your vagina.
Avoid getting soap into your vagina.
Move on your wash your buttocks and anus later. The bacteria from your buttocks and anus could get to your vagina giving you a disease.
Don't use too much soap.
Don't forget to wash your anus

Things You'll Need

Water
Bath tub or stand up shower
Bar soap or Bodywash or Special Vagina Soap
Clean hands!

What are STDs and how can their spread be prevented?

2009-08-17T21:21:00.000-07:00

Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are infections that are transmitted during any type of sexual exposure, including intercourse (vaginal or anal), oral sex, and the sharing of sexual devices, such as vibrators. In the professional medical arena, STDs are referred to as STIs (sexually transmitted infections). This terminology is used because many infections are frequently temporary. Some STDs are infections that are transmitted by persistent and close skin-to-skin contact, including during sexual intimacy. Although treatment exists for many STDs, others currently are usually incurable, such as HIV, HPV, hepatitis B and C, and HHV-8. What is more, many infections can be present in, and be spread by, patients who do not have symptoms.

The most effective way to prevent the spread of STDs is abstinence. Alternatively, the diligent use of latex barriers, such as condoms, during vaginal or anal intercourse and oral-genital contact helps decrease the spread of many of these infections. Still, there is no guarantee that transmission will not occur. In fact, preventing the spread of STDs also depends upon appropriate counseling of at-risk individuals and the early diagnosis and treatment of those infected.

In this article, the STDs in men have been organized into three major categories: (1) STDs that are associated with genital lesions; (2) STDs that are associated with urethritis (inflammation of the urethra, the canal through which urine flows out); and (3) systemic STDs (involving various organ systems of the body). Note, however, that some of the diseases that are listed as being associated with genital lesions (for example, syphilis) or with urethritis (for example, gonorrhea) can also have systemic involvement.

Vaginal Bleeding

2009-08-17T21:13:00.001-07:00

Also called: Dysfunctional Uterine Bleeding, Uterine Bleeding

Menstruation, or period, is a woman's monthly bleeding. Abnormal vaginal bleeding is different from normal menstrual periods. It could be bleeding that is between periods, lasts several weeks, or happens before puberty or after menopause. Causes can include

Uterine fibroids or polyps
Hormone problems
Hormone pills, such as birth control pills and hormone replacement therapy
Cancer of the cervix, ovaries, uterus or vagina
Thyroid problems

Bleeding during pregnancy can have several different causes. It is not always a serious problem, but to be safe you should always contact your healthcare provider.

Pelvic exams, blood tests and other procedures can help your healthcare provider diagnose the problem. Treatment depends on the cause.

Vaginal Diseases

2009-08-17T20:57:00.001-07:00

Symptoms such as vaginal itching, burning, pain and discharge are some of the most common reasons that women seek medical care. Often, the problem is vaginitis, an inflammation of the vagina. In women of childbearing age, the most common cause is a bacterial infection. The main symptom is a smelly vaginal discharge, but some women have no symptoms. The treatment is antibiotics.

Other infections that can cause vaginitis include trichomoniasis and yeast infections. Some other causes of vaginal symptoms, including vaginal bleeding, are sexually transmitted diseases, vaginal cancer and vulvar cancer.

Women can orgasm several different ways, via clitoral, vaginal, and of course the G-Spot, the latter can give her a massively satisfying orgasm if stimulated correctly.

Here we will look at how to find it and give your partner immense pleasure once you do!

Where is the G Spot?

The G-Spot is the area to target for maximum sexual arousal.

You will be able to help give added pleasure and a mind blowing climax to your partner if you can locate and stimulate it.

The G-Spot is essentially a bean shaped area of nerve tissue, located about halfway between the back of the pubic bone and the top of a women’s cervix.

The size and location of the G-Spot will vary between women, but it usually lies about 1.5” to 3” inside the vagina.

This area inside the vagina has a different texture; it’s ridged, not smooth like the rest of the vagina, and when
aroused has a spongy feel.

The G-Spot is not easily located. Sometimes even women have a hard time finding it and some don’t even believe it exists, but it does.

All you need to do is to locate it and arouse it and with a little trial and error between you and your partner you can.

Locating the G Spot

To explore and find the G spot, have your partner lie down, knees bent and feet flat on the floor or bed, with a pillow under her buttocks for comfort.

Insert your fingers into her vagina towards her navel. This will be between 1.5 – 3” inches inside the vagina to find the exact spot.

Press with the fingers against the front wall of the vagina.
As it's surrounded by tissue and deep in the vaginal wall, you will need to apply a little pressure. When you finally hit the right spot, it will swell the same way a penis does.

Slide your fingers from side to side. Have your partner tell you when you hit the right place and you she will know, as you will see the reaction when you hit it!

G Spot Technique

When you have found it move your fingers in even circles all around the inside of the vagina walls.

It generally feels best for her if you keep consistent, firm pressure along the entire length of the vaginal walls and use a steady rotational rhythm.

Stop rotating your fingers and rest your fingertips on the ridged area of the G Spot. Then move the fingers in and out and do rotational movements to keep hitting the spot.

Finding a rhythm is what you are looking for here; keep moving the fingers in and out and around constantly hitting the G Spot.

You can give your partner even more pleasure by licking her clitoris and stimulating her G-Spot at the same time, to give her an amazing climax.

Stimulating the G Spot to the level where it will ejaculate requires three components:

1.Time: Needs to be taken to work your partner up

2.Gentle attention: Listen to your partner and find out what gives her pleasure.

3.Tapping: Keep constantly tapping the G-spot while you are moving your fingers.

Penis stimulation

Penises curve and the ones that curve upwards are most likely to hit the G territory. However if your penis curves to the left or the right, all is not lost,There are options!

If your penis curves to the left, right or to the south, you can position yourself in such a way that your penis hits the spot i.e you need to be in a position where your penis points north.

For example, if your penis curves to the side. You lie horizontally, she lies vertically and you gain the same impact and will be able to hit her G Spot.

If your penis curves downwards, place her on top of you but facing the other way, you will see her buttocks and then move to hit the G spot.

Other methods of stimulation

There are a number of adult toys such as vibrators etc that are designed to hit and stimulate the G Spot and the huge variety out there means there is one for every women.

Finally…

The G Spot is there in women all you have to do is find it and stimulate it to give your partner huge pleasure.

There is a lot of mystique related to the spot but to find the G spot and give your partner pleasure is really all about communication.

She will be able to guide you, all you need to do is follow her instructions have patience and find out what’s right for her.

If you do, you will add another dimension to your relationship and your partner will be very grateful for your effort!

MALE GENITALIA DISEASE

2009-07-09T00:02:00.000-07:00

There are many different types of diseases that can affect the genitals. They can be classified by whether they are acquired (one caught it or developed the problem after birth) or congenital (one was born with it). The acquired diseases can be further classified by whether they are due to problems with inflammation (infection), cancer, blood flow, or some combination of problems leading to dysfunction.

ACQUIRED ABNORMALITIES
Perhaps the most common disease affecting men is sexual dysfunction. This is the failure to achieve adequate erection, ejaculation, or both. Men with sexual dysfunction may complain of loss of sexual desire (libido), difficulty or inability to initiate or maintain an erection (impotence), failure of ejaculation, premature ejaculation, or an inability to achieve an orgasm.

Other than sexual dysfunction, some of the most common acquired diseases are infections caught from a partner during sexual contact. Diseases such as chlamydia, herpes, genital warts, and HIV/AIDS are just some of the more common sexually transmitted diseases. (The photo shows the milky penile discharge of man with gonorrhea.) A detailed look at the major sexually transmitted diseases is beyond the scope of this guide, but is currently available in our Sexually Transmitted Disease (STD) Online Guide. The guide shows photographs and gives detailed information on detecting, curing, and preventing common sexually transmitted diseases. With the exception of sexual abstinence, the regular and correct use of condoms is the best way to avoid the sexually transmitted diseases.

A non-sexually transmitted disease causing inflammation and rarely sterility is mumps. Though the mumps virus commonly causes only swelling of the salivary gland (parotitis), about 10% of men will get swelling of the testicle (mumps orchitis). Luckily, one of the childhood vaccinations protects us from mumps (the MMR immunization, or Measles, Mumps, and Rubella).

Skin abnormalities also affect the genitalia. Eczema and psoriasis can cause redness, scaling, and itchiness. Fungal infections, like jock-itch (tinea cruris) also affect the skin of the scrotum as pictured here. Treatment of this rash is with an antifungal medication. Other fungal infections, like candida balantitis is also treated with medication.

Peyronie's disease is the formation of scar-like tissue on the penis. This can lead to abnormal curvature and painful erections. Peyronie's disease is usually felt as a fibrous plaque on the underside of the penis. Surgical treatment by a urologist is often required in advanced cases.

The abnormal growth of cells (cancer) can afflict essentially any part of the male anatomy. Testicular cancer generally affects young to middle-aged adults and is the leading cause of death from solid cancers in men between the ages of 15 and 32. There are many different types of testicular cancer depending on which type of cell begins to grow abnormally. (The photo is of a patient with lymphoma that has spread to the testicle.) Testicular cancers have a good cure rate when caught early, so discovering the tumor is important. A testicular self-exam done monthly by all men aged 15 and older can detect these usually symptomless tumors. Click here to learn how to do a testicular self-examination.

Cancer of the penis accounts for about 1% of all cancers in males. These cancers are usually slow growing, but can spread to surrounding lymph nodes and tissues making a cure more difficult. The photo shows a man with a cancer that has eaten away a significant amount of the tip of his penis. Obviously, any new or non-healing growth on the penis (or elsewhere), should be shown to your doctor. Check out our Skin Cancer Guide for more information and photographs.

Prostate cancer is the second most common cause of male cancer deaths (after lung cancer), and is most often found in men older than 50. The cancer seldomly produces symptoms until it spreads, so prostate screening (rectal exam and possibly a blood test) is important for early diagnosis and treatment.

CONGENITAL ABNORMALITIES
Congenital problems with the male genitalia are caused during fetal development. The most common abnormality is failure of the urethral tube to form correctly resulting in an additional hole in the penis. This additional hole is usually located on the underside (hypospadias - pictured) or top side (epispadias) of the penis and is usually not a significant problem. The result of having a hypospadias or epispadias is that urine and semen exit the penis from more than one site. Another fairly common abnormality is a phimosis. This is defined as an abnormally small opening of the foreskin. It can be congenital or acquired (from infection). Having a phimosis is a problem because it can lead to further infection and even some types of cancer due to the chronic accumulation of secretions and other debris under the foreskin (smegma). A surgical incision or circumcision is the treatment of choice for phimosis. Congenital anomalies of the testicle also occur occasionally. An undescended testicle (cryptorchidism) is the most common birth defect affecting up to 0.8% of newborn males (1 out of every 125) . If the testicle has not descended into the scrotum by 1 year of age, it needs to be surgically lowered (or removed), as a large number of undescended testicles will become cancerous.

Gonorrhoea What is it ?

2009-07-07T21:45:00.000-07:00

What Is Gonorrhoea ?

Bacteria known as Neisseria gonorrhoeae or gonococcus cause gonorrhoea.(1) It usually affects the genital area but it can also infect the throat or anus. It is easily transmitted during vaginal intercourse but it can also be transmitted during anal or oral sex. (2)

Gonorrhoea is sometimes found in the rectum of women who have not had anal intercourse. This is because it can spread from the vagina. It can also be passed from a woman to her baby during birth. (3)

The outer cell membrane of neisseria gonorrhoeae is covered with large protein and sugar molecules and it is these components which help the bacteria to attach to and infect the infected persons cells. (4)

Gonorrhoea Body

Gonorrhoea (Gonorrhea) can also affect the eyes. Gonococcal conjunctivitis is an infection of the thin, transparent conjunctiva (skin) covering the eye and inner eyelids. It occurs mostly in infants infected during vaginal birth, but adult infection can occur can occur via the fingers of either the individual or her or his partner. Gonococcal infection of the eye is an ophthalmic emergency and needs urgent medical attention.(5)

SOURCE 1

Gonorrhoea is a sexually transmitted infection STI) caused by a bacteria called neisseria gonorrheoae or gonococcus. It used to be known as 'the clap'. The bacteria is found mainly in the semen of infected men and vaginal fluids of infected women, so is easily passed between people through sexual contact.

Gonorrhoea is most commonly spread through:

Unprotected sex including oral and anal sex.
Sharing vibrators or other sex aids that have not been washed or covered with a new condom.

Gonorrhoea is the second most common STI in the UK with over 19,000 cases reported in 2006. Young men aged 20-24 and women aged 16-19 are most affected.

How to Treating gonorrhoea

Gonorrhoea Bactery

It is important to receive treatment for gonorrhoea as quickly as possible, as the disease can cause complications and serious health problems such as pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) if it is left untreated.

Gonorrhoea is treated with a single dose of antibiotics, usually ceftriaxone, cefiximine or spectinomycin. The antibiotics are either given orally (a pill) or through an injection.

Recently, it has become apparent that some strains of gonorrhoea are becoming resistant to some antibiotics - particularly antibiotics that have been used heavily in the past like penicillin - so these tend not to be used. However, your GP or clinic may still recommend them if your tests show that your infection is particularly sensitive to them.

You will need to make an appointment with your GP or GUM clinic for around 72 hours after your initial treatment to check that the antibiotics have been effective. You should avoid sexual intercourse and intimate contact with other partners until it is confirmed that the antibiotics have worked.

If the antibiotics have been effective, you should notice an improvement in your symptoms quite quickly:

pain and discharge when you urinate should improve within 2-3 days,
pain and discharge in your anus should improve within 2-3 days,
bleeding between periods, or extra heavy periods, should improve by the time of your next period, and
pain in your pelvis or your testicles should start to improve quickly but could take up to two weeks to go away.

Babies who display signs of a gonorrhoeal infection at birth (such as inflammation of the eyes) or who are at increased risk of infection (the mother has been diagnosed with gonorrhoea), will usually be given antibiotics immediately after birth to prevent blindness and other complications.

Telling your partner

If you do have gonorrhoea, it is important that your current sexual partner, or any sexual partner you have had over the last three months, is tested and treated.

Some people can feel angry, upset or embarrassed about discussing gonorrhoea with their current or former partner(s). You should not feel afraid about discussing your concerns with the clinic staff or your GP, as they can advise you about who should be contacted and the best way to contact them.

Your clinic can arrange - with your permission - for a 'contact slip' to be given to your partner(s). This slip explains to that person that they may have been exposed to a sexually transmitted infection and they should go for a check-up. The slip does not have your name on it, and your details will remain totally confidential.

Nobody can force you to tell any of your partners about your gonorrhoea, but it is strongly recommended. Left untested and untreated, gonorrhoea can lead to serious and life-long illnesses.

Genital Herpes

2009-07-07T21:33:00.000-07:00

Herpes is a sexually transmitted disease (STD) caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV).

Genital herpes infection is very common and on the increase in the United States. Nationwide 45 million people aged 12 and older (1 out of 5 of the total adolescent and adult population) are infected with HSV-2.

It is more common in women (1 out of 4) than in men (1 out of 5) possibly because male to female transmission is more efficient than female to male transmission.

HSV-2 infection is also more common in areas of high socio-economic disadvantage, facing fundamental issues of health such as:

access to quality health care
poverty
living in communities with a high prevalence of STDs
illicit drug use

Transmission

Herpes is spread by direct contact including:

Sexual contact

Anal sex
Oral sex
Vaginal sex

as well as

Kissing
Skin-to-skin contact which transmits HSV-1 and HSV-2

Genital herpes

Can be transmitted with or without the presence of sores or other symptoms
Is often transmitted by people who do not realize infection can be passed on even when there are no symptoms
Is often transmitted by people unaware they are infected

Statistics

An estimated 40 million people have genital herpes which is a chronic viral infection
About 500,000 new people get symptomatic herpes each year
There are even more people without symptoms

Genital herpes infection

has increased 30% in the U.S.
has increased most dramatically among young white teens (12-19 years old)
among whites is 5 times higher than 20 years ago
is twice as likely to infect 20-29 year old adults

Symptoms

Symptoms vary, but often most people have no noticeable symptoms.

Early symptoms may include:

burning sensation in the genitals
flu-like symptoms
lower back pain
pain when urinating

Small red bumps may appear in the genital area after initial symptoms, which later develop into painful blisters.

The blisters usually:

crust over
form a scab
heal

What is vaginismus 2

2009-07-07T21:28:00.000-07:00

Vaginismus is vaginal tightness causing discomfort, burning, pain, penetration problems, or complete inability to have intercourse.

Vaginismus [vaj-uh-niz-muh s]

Vaginismus is a condition where there is involuntary tightness of the vagina during attempted intercourse. The tightness is actually caused by involuntary contractions of the pelvic floor muscles surrounding the vagina. The woman does not directly control or 'will' the tightness to occur; it is an involuntary pelvic response. She may not even have any awareness that the muscle response is causing the tightness or penetration problem.

In some cases vaginismus tightness may begin to cause burning, pain, or stinging during intercourse. In other cases, penetration may be difficult or completely impossible. Vaginismus is the main cause of unconsummated relationships. The tightness can be so restrictive that the opening to the vagina is 'closed off' altogether and the man is unable to insert his penis. The pain of vaginismus ends when the sexual attempt stops, and usually intercourse must be halted due to pain or discomfort.

Types of vaginismus

When a woman has never at any time been able to have pain-free intercourse due to this muscle spasm her condition is known as primary vaginismus. Some women with primary vaginismus are unable to wear tampons and/or complete pelvic exams. Many couples are unable to consummate their relationship due to primary vaginismus. [see Symptoms]

Vaginismus can also develop later in life, even after many years of pleasurable intercourse. This type of condition, known as secondary vaginismus, is usually precipitated by a medical condition, traumatic event, childbirth, surgery, or life-change (menopause). [see Causes]

Vaginismus is treatable

Vaginismus is highly treatable and a full recovery from vaginismus is the normal outcome of treatment. Successful vaginismus treatment does not require drugs, surgery, hypnosis, nor any other complex invasive technique. Following a straight-forward program, pain-free and pleasurable intercourse is attainable for most couples.

What is vaginismus?

2009-07-07T21:24:00.000-07:00

Vaginismus (the Latin equivalent of the word Vaginism) is a condition which affects a woman's ability to engage in any form of vaginal penetration, including sexual penetration, insertion of tampons, and the penetration involved in gynecological examinations. This is the result of a conditioned reflex of the pubococcygeus muscle, which is sometimes referred to as the "PC muscle". The reflex causes the muscles in the vagina to tense suddenly, which makes any kind of vaginal penetration—including sexual penetration—either painful or impossible.

A vaginismic woman does not consciously control the spasm. The vaginismic reflex can be compared to the response of the eye shutting when an object comes towards it. The severity of vaginismus and the pain during penetration, including sexual penetration, varies from woman to woman.

Primary vaginismus

Primary vaginismus occurs when a woman has never been able to have penetrative sex or experience any kind of vaginal penetration without pain. It is commonly discovered in teenagers and women in their early twenties, as this is when many young women in the Western world will initially attempt to use tampons, have some form of penetrative sex, or undergo a Pap smear. Women who have vaginismus may not be aware of their condition until they attempt vaginal penetration. It may be confusing for a woman to discover she has vaginismus. She may believe that vaginal penetration should naturally be easy, or she may be unaware of the reasons for her condition.^{[citation needed]}

A few of the main factors which may contribute to primary vaginismus include:

sexual abuse, rape, or attempted sexual abuse
knowledge of (or witnessing) sexual or physical abuse of others, without being personally abused
domestic violence or conflict in the early home environment
having been taught that sex is immoral, vulgar, or demoralising
fear of pain associated with penetration, particularly the popular misconception of 'breaking' the hymen upon the first attempt at penetration, or the idea that vaginal penetration will inevitably hurt the first time it occurs
being sexualized or told about sex in violent or inappropriately graphic terms before an age at which one is comfortable with such information
any physically invasive trauma
Generalized anxiety

Occasionally, primary vaginismus is idiopathic.^[1]

Vaginismus has been classified by Lamont^[2] according to the severity of the condition. He describes four degrees of vaginismus: In first degree vaginismus, the patient has spasm of the pelvic floor which can be relieved with reassurance. In second degree, the spasm is present but maintianed throughout the pelvis even with reassurance. In third degree, the patient elevates the buttocks to avoid being examined. In fourth degree vaginismus (also known as grade 4 vaginismus), the most severe form of vaginismus, the patient elevates the buttocks, retreats and tightly closes the thighs to avoid examination. The Lamont classification continues to be use to the present and allows for a common language among researchers and therapists.

Secondary vaginismus

Secondary vaginismus occurs when a woman who has previously been able to achieve penetration develops vaginismus. This may be due to physical causes such as a yeast infection or trauma during childbirth, or it may be due to psychological causes. The treatment for secondary vaginismus is the same as for primary vaginismus, although, in these cases, previous experience with successful penetration can assist in a more rapid resolution of the condition.^{[citation needed]}

Prevalence

The prevalence of vaginismus has been reported to be 6% in two widely divergent cultures, Morocco and Sweden. The prevalence of manifest dyspareunia has been reported as low as 2% in elderly British women, yet as high as 18–20% in British and Australian studies.^[3]

By another study vaginismus rates of between 12% and 17% have been reported in women presenting to sex therapy clinics (Spector and Carey 1990). National Health and Sexual Life Survey, which used random sampling and structured interviewing, report that between 10% and 15% of women reported having experienced pain during intercourse during the last 6 months (Laumann et al. 1994).^[1]

The most recent study estimates of vaginismus range from 5% to 47% of people presenting for sex therapy or complaining of sexual problems, with significant differences across cultures (see Reissing et al. 1999; Nusbaum 2000; Oktay 2003). It seems likely that society's expectations of women's sexuality may particularly impact on these sufferers.^[4]

Treatment

There are a variety of factors that can contribute to vaginismus. These may be psychological or physiological, and the treatment required can depend on the reason that the woman has developed the condition. As each case is different, an individualized approach to treatment is useful.

The condition will not necessarily become more severe if left untreated, unless the woman is continuing to attempt penetration, despite feeling pain. Some women may choose to refrain from seeking treatment for their condition.

According to the Cochrane Collaboration review of the scientific literature, "In spite of encouraging results reported from uncontrolled case series there is very limited evidence from controlled trials concerning the effectiveness of treatments for vaginismus. Further trials are needed to compare therapies with waiting list control and with other therapies."^[5]

Although few controlled trials have been carried out, many serious scientific studies have tested and proved the efficacy of the treatment of vaginismus. In all cases where the systematic desensitization method was used, success rates were close to 90–95% and even 100%. For an example of one of these studies, see Nasab, M., & Farnoosh, Z., or for a basic review, see Reissing's literature review (links below).

[edit] Psychological treatment

According to Ward and Ogden's qualitative study on the experience of vaginismus for women (1994), the three most common contributing factors to vaginismus are fear of painful sex; the belief that sex is wrong or shameful (often the case with patients who had a strict religious upbringing); and traumatic early childhood experiences (not necessarily sexual in nature).

Vaginismus patients are twice as likely to have a history of childhood sexual interference and held less positive attitudes about their sexuality whereas no correlation was noted for lack of sexual knowledge or physical abuse. ^[6]

For some women, especially those with primary vaginismus, it is important to address the psychological aspects of the problem as well as the actual muscle spasm. A woman may choose to address the issue on her own terms, or she may avail the help of a therapist. Some women, especially those with secondary vaginismus, may rely on a physical rather than psychological treatment and also be successful.

There are emotional difficulties associated with vaginismus, which can include low self-esteem, fears, and depression.

[edit] Physical treatment

Physical treatment of the internal spasms may include sensate focus exercises, exploring the vagina through touch, and desensitization with vaginal dilators. Dilating involves inserting objects, usually phallic in shape, into the vagina. In treating the spasms through dilation, the objects used gradually increase in size as the woman progresses. Medical dilators may be obtained online, though they may be expensive.

Botox is a relatively new treatment for vaginismus, first described in 1997 ^[7]. Ghazizadeh and Nikzad reported on the use of botulinum toxin in the treatment of refractory vaginismus in 24 patients. In this study, Dysport (a type of Botox) 150-400 mIU (Ipsen Ltd, United Kingdom) was used. 23 patients were able to have vaginal examinations one week post procedure showing little or no vaginismus. One patient refused vaginal examination and did not attempt coitus. Of the 23 patients, 18 (75%) achieved satisfactory intercourse, 4 (17%) had mild pain and one patient was unable to have intercourse because of her husband’s impotence. A second dose of Dysport was needed on one patient. There were no recurrences during the 2-24 month follow-up period. ^[8]

A controlled study using Botox for one group of patients was compared to saline in another. 8 women treated with the Botox were able to achieve satisfactory intercourse whereas 5 women who were injected with saline controls showed no response. None of the 8 women who had Botox required any further treatment. The procedure is simple, easy, cost-effective, not time-consuming and can be achieved on an outpatient basis. No complications were reported. ^[9]

What Is Vagina

2009-07-07T21:19:00.000-07:00

The vagina (from Latin, literally "sheath" or "scabbard") is a fibromuscular tubular tract leading from the uterus to the exterior of the body in female placental mammals and marsupials, or to the cloaca in female birds, monotremes, and some reptiles. Female insects and other invertebrates also have a vagina, which is the terminal part of the oviduct. The Latinate plural (rarely used in English) is vaginae.

In common speech, the term "vagina" is often used to refer to the vulva or female genitals generally; strictly speaking, the vagina is a specific internal structure and the vulva is the exterior genitalia only.

Human anatomy

The human vagina is an elastic muscular canal that extends from the cervix to the vulva.^[1] Although there is wide anatomical variation, the length of the unaroused vagina is approximately 6 to 7.5 cm (2.5 to 3 in) across the anterior wall (front), and 9 cm (3.5 in) long across the posterior wall (rear).^[2] During sexual arousal the vagina expands in both length and width.^[3] Its elasticity allows it to stretch during sexual intercourse and during birth to offspring.^[4] The vagina connects the superficial vulva to the cervix of the deep uterus.

If the woman stands upright, the vaginal tube points in an upward-backward direction and forms an angle of slightly more than 45 degrees with the uterus. The vaginal opening is at the caudal end of the vulva, behind the opening of the urethra. The upper one-fourth of the vagina is separated from the rectum by the rectouterine pouch. Above the vagina is Mons Veneris. The vagina, along with the inside of the vulva, is reddish pink in color, as with most healthy internal mucous membranes in mammals. A series of ridges produced by folding of the wall of the outer third of the female vagina is called vaginal rugae. They are transverse epithelial ridges and their function is to provide the vagina with increased surface area for extension and stretching. Vaginal lubrication is provided by the Bartholin's glands near the vaginal opening and the cervix. The membrane of the vaginal wall also produces moisture, although it does not contain any glands. Before and during ovulation, the cervix's mucus glands secretes different variations of mucus, which provides a favorable alkaline environment in the vaginal canal to maximize the chance of survival for sperm.

The hymen is a thin membrane of connective tissue which is situated at the opening of the vagina. As with many female animals, the hymen covers the opening of the vagina from birth until it is ruptured during sexual or non-sexual activity. The tissue may be ruptured by vaginal penetration, a pelvic examination, injury, or certain types of activities, such as horseback riding or gymnastics. The absence of a hymen does not necessarily indicate prior sexual activity, as it is not always ruptured during sexual intercourse.^[5] Similarly, the presence does not necessarily indicate a lack of prior sexual activity, as it is possible for light activity to not rupture it, or for it to be surgically restored.

Physiological functions of the vagina

The vagina has several biological functions.

Uterine secretions

The vagina provides a path for menstrual blood and tissue to leave the body. In industrial societies, tampons, menstrual cups and sanitary napkins may be used to absorb or capture these fluids.

Sexual activity

The concentration of the nerve endings that lie close to the entrance of a woman's vagina can provide pleasurable sensation during sexual activity, when stimulated in a way that the particular woman enjoys. During sexual arousal, and particularly the stimulation of the clitoris, the walls of the vagina self-lubricate. This reduces friction that can be caused as a result of various sexual activities. Research has found that portions of the clitoris extend into the vulva and vagina.^[6]

With arousal, the vagina lengthens rapidly to an average of about 4 in.(8.5 cm), but can continue to lengthen in response to pressure.^[7] As the woman becomes fully aroused, the vagina tents (last ²⁄₃ expands in length and width) while the cervix retracts.^[8] The walls of the vagina are composed of soft elastic folds of mucous membrane skin which stretch or contract (with support from pelvic muscles) to the size of the inserted penis.

G-spot

For more details on this topic, see G-spot.

An erogenous zone referred to commonly as the G-spot is located at the anterior wall of the vagina, about five centimeters in from the entrance. Some women experience intense pleasure if the G-spot is stimulated appropriately during sexual activity. A G-Spot orgasm may be responsible for female ejaculation, leading some doctors and researchers to believe that G-spot pleasure comes from the Skene's glands, a female homologue of the prostate, rather than any particular spot on the vaginal wall.^[9]^[10]^[11] Some researchers deny the existence of the G-spot.^[12]

Childbirth

During childbirth, the vagina provides the channel to deliver the baby from the uterus to its independent life outside the body of the mother. During birth, the vagina is often referred to as the birth canal. The vagina is remarkably elastic and stretches to many times its normal diameter during vaginal birth.

Cancer Of The Cervix. Prevention Is Better Than Cure

2009-05-28T16:14:00.000-07:00

Many of my patients are scared of having abnormal Pap Smear. The idea strikes terror in their hearts as they think they may have cancer of the cervix. I recently had to do a hysterectomy on a 34 year old patient because her mother died from cervical cancer and her cervical cells on biopsy showed severe dysplasia. Even after removal of the diseased area on the cervix she still was scared and wanted hysterectomy because she saw how her mother suffered. I am therefore thrilled that finally there is a vaccine that will prevent this horrible disease.

My second patient had no insurance and hence had been using the emergency room(ER) for her healthcare. She went to the ER whenever she had any medical problems. I was called to the hospital to see her after she had been admitted with vaginal bleeding and abdominal pains. Pelvic examination showed a hard tumor in the vagina involving the right side of the pelvis. Further tests showed her right ureter, the tube that drains her right kidney to the bladder was blocked and the disease had spread beyond the pelvis. She died 2 months later.

Cancer of the cervix and genital warts are caused by the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV). The HPV affects the anus , vulva, vagina and penis and are transmitted by sex. There are many different types of HPV. If left untreated the disease can cause precancerous changes on the cervix that, if also untreated, can lead to cancer of the cervix. Other risk factors for cervical cancer include:

Having sex at an early age
Multiple sexual partners
Sexual partners who have multiple partners or who participate in high-risk sexual activities
Women whose mothers took the drug DES (diethylstilbestrol) during pregnancy in the early 1970s to prevent miscarriage
Long-term use of birth control pills (more than 5 years)
Weakened immune system
Infections with genital herpes or chronic chlamydia infections
Poor economic status (may not be able to afford regular Pap smears)

Fortunately, in June 2006, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices voted to recommend Gardasil to be used to prevent cervical cancer. Gardasil protects against four HPV types (16,18,6 and 11), which together cause 70% of cervical cancer and 90% of genital warts.

The vaccine, preferably, should be given to girls before they become sexually active. However it is recommended for the age group 9-26 years. It is assumed that even if sexually active women are infected they may not be infected with all the 4 types of HPV. Research on the safety and effectiveness of the vaccine in women over 26 years has not been completed, though some physicians have suggested that the vaccine be given to women over 26 years old. Three injections are given over 6 months. The second and third doses should be given at two and six months after the first dose.

The vaccine would be a boon to the third world where no or minimal screening for cervical cancer is done. Many patients go to the hospital when they start bleeding at which time the cancer is at an advanced stage. It is in this light that the Brazil government should be commended for considering giving the vaccine free of charge to its qualified citizens. Even in the US, the cost may prevent some people from getting the vaccine. That is why we should applaud the announcement by the government of New Hampshire that it is going to offer the vaccine free to its qualified citizens - ( about 17,000 girls and women).

The 2 patients above show how important this discovery is. People are still dying in this country from this disease which is preventable. It is my hope that the insurance companies will pay for the vaccination to wipe out this scourge form this country.

Abortion Is it True Or False

Surgical Abortion

Suction Aspiration abortion, also known as Vacuum Aspiration, is the most common method of surgical abortion in practice today and is generally performed up to 14 weeks of gestation. This is the most common abortion procedure and this method accounts for the vast majority of first trimester abortions. This is performed on an outpatient basis and usually requires only local anesthetic. Most women feel little discomfort with this injection, since the cervix has very few nerve endings, although some report a pinching, stinging, or a dull heavy feeling. First, a physician determines the location and size of the uterus by performing a pelvic exam. A speculum is then inserted into the vagina to visualize the cervix, then the area is cleansed. This is done to allow for the insertion of a hollow tube- called a vacurette-up through the hole in the cervix. The vacurette, which is attached to a flexible tube leading to the vacuum aspiration machine, is inserted into the uterus. The physician moves the vacurette back and forth gently in the uterus as the uterine contents are emptied. The physician will then carefully check the walls of the uterus with a spoon-shaped instrument called a curette. The entire procedure takes about 5 to 10 minutes. It may cause some cramping and vaginal bleeding, which is normal and varies with each woman.

The risks associated with this type of abortion are low and depend on how far along the pregnancy is, along with the overall health factors of the woman. The most common problems that occur from this type of abortion include blood clots, very heavy bleeding, injury to the cervix, allergic reaction to the anesthesia, and infection; but the risks of all these are low.

After the abortion it is recommended to wait in the recovery room and receive after-care instructions and an emergency care phone number. If the woman has an Rh-negative blood type, she will be given an injection to protect future pregnancies. A follow up exam in 2 to 4 weeks is also usually scheduled at this time.

A normal menstrual period can be expected 4 to 6 weeks following the abortion. It is recommended to abstain from sex for one week following the abortion, after which time intercourse can be continued. It is possible to become pregnant immediately after an abortion, so it is important to use proper birth control methods when having sexual intercourse.

The diaphragm

2009-05-01T07:19:00.000-07:00

A diaphragm is a flexible rubber cup that is filled with spermicide and self-inserted over the cervix prior to intercourse. The device is left in place several hours after intercourse. The diaphragm is a prescribed device fitted by a health care professional and is more expensive than other barrier methods such as condoms.
