Weak ejaculation

If the strength and volume of your ejaculation have reduced it is generally termed as a weak ejaculation problem. If you're not able to ejaculation with as much force as you used to and if the volume of your ejaculation has also reduced then it is known as weak ejaculation.

Treatments for weak ejaculation

The treatment for weak ejaculation will depend on its cause. There are some medicines available which can treat retrograde ejaculation, which is one type of weak ejaculation problems, by keeping your bladder closed when you ejaculate. Some of these medicines include-

brompheniramine (Veltane)
chlorpheneriamine (Chlor-Trimeton)
ephedrine (Akovaz)
pseudoephedrine (Sudafed)
imipramine (Tofranil)
midodrine (ProAmatine, Orvaten)

In some cases some medicines may also cause weak ejaculation problem. If an alpha blocker or any other medicine is causing this problem, you need to talk to your doctor to find out if it is possible to change that medicine. If you are suffering from diabetes, that may be another cause of weak ejaculation problem and in that case, you will have to take measures to control your diabetes which will help you to control weak ejaculation problem.

Home remedies

There are different home remedies available which will help you to strengthen the muscles necessary for ejaculation. Kegel exercises will help you to strengthen these muscles. In Kegel exercises, you squeeze and release the muscles you use to control urination. If you regularly practice this, it will help you to improve your control on the process and will also improve the strength of those muscles that are responsible for urination and ejaculation.

A scientific study found that 12 weeks of pelvic floor muscle training that includes Kegel exercises, improve premature ejaculation in the participants.

Supplements

There are some supplements which will help you to improve the problem of weak ejaculation. You have to be very careful while choosing the right supplement because many of them may not work for you. There are some other herbal supplements which may also have some side effects. So, you will have to be careful while choosing the supplements you want to use. But supplements can definitely help you to improve your weak ejaculation problem.

Produce more sperm when ejaculating

A normal sperm count will have 15 million to more than 200 million sperm in each millimetre of semen. If you have a low sperm count it means you have less than 15 million sperm cells per millilitre of semen. It also means that you really is less than 39 million sperm each time you ejaculate.

It is possible to boost your sperm count and that can be done better with a few simple tips.

You need to get 7 to 9 hours of quality sleep every night. If you are sleeping too little or too much, you are more likely to have lower sperm counts and less healthy sperm.

Regular exercise is very much necessary to ensure that you do not suffer from low sperm count problem. If you are overweight, it can reduce the quantity and quality of your sperm. Exercise can help you to reduce your weight and thereby improve your semen volume. Exercise will also help you by altering your hormone levels.

Smoking and eating more trans fat can reduce your sperm volume. To increase sperm volume, you need more antioxidants like vitamins C and E, lycopene and selenium.

Hormones and female fat loss

Dec 6, 2018

1709

Hormones play a very important role in female fat loss. You need to understand their roles in your fat loss and that will help you to understand what you need to do to lose more fat. You'll be able to find out why you are not losing fat even though you are trying very hard.

Estrogen and progesterone

These two hormones are the primary female sex hormones which control a woman's cycle. Estrogen is necessary for regulating the mood. It does that by improving serotonin levels in the brain. It can also influence other metabolic hormones like cortisol and insulin. Progesterone brings in the sense of equilibrium. It is also a natural diuretic. It can affect thyroid hormone.

If there is an imbalance between estrogen and progesterone, that can result in mood swings and irregular periods. That can cause fat gain because it will start a series of changes to the hormones involved in metabolic rate. If you have more estrogen compared to progesterone, that is a condition known as estrogen dominance and when that happens it can increase the levels of cortisol, which can increase appetite and can make some unfavourable changes in the hunger hormones leptin and ghrelin. It can also cause a decrease in physical activity and as a result of that along with too much calories going in, it can easily add more fat to the body.

Insulin

Insulin is a story is home and which will first store glucose in the form of glycogen. When the glycogen stores of full, the extra calories will be deposited as fat. Because of unhealthy diet and lack of physical activity, insulin sensitivity may decrease. Then insulin levels will keep on rising and more and more insulin will be needed for disposing glucose in cells. When you have higher insulin levels in your body, it will result in fat gain and dysregulation of hunger hormones.

Cortisol

Cortisol is a hormone which is released from the adrenal glands. The hormone is really is in response to both physical and psychological stress. It helps in burning the stored fat. It can be very beneficial for your body because it helps in triggering fat burning.

When stress becomes chronic, cortisol levels will go up very high and that will result in muscle loss along with fat gain in the abdominal area. Cortisol can trigger high carbohydrate food consumption and as a result of that you may consume more calories than you should. If there is a combination of high cortisol levels in your body along with high insulin, which will result from high carbohydrate intake, it can result in your body storing more fat. This is very common in case of women as they age.

Leptin and ghrelin

Leptin and ghrelin can regulate your appetite and thereby help you by reducing hunger. Leptin is released from fat tissue for regulating body fat. If you have more fat in your body, more leptin will be released and that will lower your appetite. If you are lean, it will reduce leptin levels in your body and that will increase your hunger.

�Ghrelin has two types of effect on appetite. First, it directly stimulates hunger and second it activates the reward centre of the brain. You will experience physical hunger and along with that you will also have a psychological drive which will force you to consume more food.

Weak ejaculation and its causes

Dec 5, 2018

3416

Weak ejaculation

It means you are not able to ejaculate with as much force as you used to. This can happen because you are growing older. When you become older, your muscles become weak eyesight is weaken and similarly the strength and volume of your ejaculation can also go down.

Weak ejaculation problem is mostly subjective because it is noticed by the person himself. Even though ejaculation may feel weaker, that may not create any problem for some people and it may not impact the sexual health. In some people a weaker orgasm may also feel as satisfying as a stronger one.

The process

The ejaculation process releases semen from your body through your penis. This process takes place in two stages-

In the first stage, which is known as emission, semen collection in the urethral bulb at the base of your penis.
In the second stage, which is known as expulsion, muscles around the urethra squeeze to push the semen out through the penis.

If there is a problem in the first stage during this process, can result in reduction in the amount of semen you ejaculate. If there is a problem with the second stage of the process, it can reduce the force with which semen is pushed out.

If you ejaculate less fluid or sperm, then it is a problem. It may have problem with your fertility.

Causes

What are the causes of weak ejaculation? Any condition that affects the muscles and nerves that control ejaculation can result in a weaker ejaculation and orgasm.

Weakened pelvic muscle

With age, the muscles that push semen out of the body can be weakened. If that happens, the force of ejaculation may decline.

Low hormone levels

A satisfying sex life for men will depend on the male hormones known androgens. When you get older the production of such hormones may decline. If for any reason the drop is significant, then it can result in weaker orgasm.

Retrograde ejaculation

Retrograde ejaculation is a condition which may happen in some cases. Generally, when you ejaculate, semen travels down your urethra and goes out through the penis. There is a valve between the bladder and urethra that works as a gate and does not allow semen to go into your bladder. For some reason if the valve stays open, semen can go back into your bladder instead of going out to the penis. That condition is known as retrograde ejaculation.

Some of the causes of retrograde ejaculation

If you have undergone surgery for the treatment of prostate or testicular cancer, if you have an enlarged prostate gland or a weak urine stream.
Medicines used for treating prostate enlargement, high blood pressure and depression.
Nerve damage caused by diseases like multiple sclerosis or diabetes.
Spinal cord injury

Perceived ejaculate volume production (PEVR)

Perceived ejaculate volume production (PEVR) is a condition where you release less semen than you did before. It is a common type of ejaculatory dysfunction seen in men. It can happen in some people because of the side effect of treatment for cancer and other conditions. It may also mean a problem with male hormone production. This is something which may happen along with other sexual problems like problems with erection and ejaculation.

Symptoms and causes of uterine fibroids

Dec 3, 2018

1692

Uterine fibroids

Uterine fibroids are noncancerous growths that are seen in the uterus. The mostly appear during childbearing years. They generally do not develop into cancer and does not increase the risk of uterine cancer. The size of these fibroids can vary a lot. It may be of the size of a seedling which is not detectable by the human eye or it can also be bulky masses that can distort and enlarge the uterus.

Many women suffer from this problem at some point of their lives. Many of them do not even know they have it because it's very difficult to find the symptoms.

Symptoms

Many women who suffer from uterine fibroids, do not have any symptoms and because of that knowing that they have this problem also becomes difficult. In case of patients where symptoms appear, symptoms may vary depending on the location, size and number of fibroids. The most common symptoms in case of uterine fibroids are-

Heavy menstrual bleeding
Menstrual periods lasting more than a week
Pelvic pressure or pain
Frequent urination
Difficulty emptying the bladder
Constipation
Backache or leg pains

In some cases, though very rarely, if you do it can cause acute pain.

Causes

It is not sure why uterine fibroids develop. But different research and clinical experience talk about the following factors-

Genetic changes-because of genetic changes uterine fibroids may appear. Many of them contain changes in genes that are different from the genes present in normal uterine muscle cells.

Hormones-estrogen and progesterone other two hormones that stimulate development of the uterine lining during the menstrual cycle so that the body can prepare for pregnancy. These hormones can promote the growth of fibroids. It is found that these fibroids contain more estrogen and progesterone receptors in comparison to normal uterine muscle cells. After menopause, the fibroids begun to shrink because of a decrease in hormone production.

Other growth factors-there are some substances that help the body to maintain tissues and may affect fibroid growth.

It is believed that these fibroids may develop from a stem cell in the smooth muscular tissue of the uterus. A single cell may result in a firm, rubbery mass by dividing repeatedly and it is completely different from the nearby tissues.

Sometimes they may grow slowly and sometimes very rapidly and in some cases they may remain the same size. Some of them may shrink on their own and some may start to grow bigger. Such fibroids that are seen during pregnancy may shrink or disappear after pregnancy.

Risk factors

There are some risk factors which can increase the possibility of uterine fibroids. If you are a woman of reproductive age, it can happen to you. Besides that there are other factors which can increase or decrease the risk.

Heredity-if your mother or sister had fibroids, you may have a higher risk of developing them.

Race– black women are more likely to suffer from fibroids in comparison to other racial groups. They may also have this problem at younger ages and they are more likely to have more or larger fibroids.

Environmental factors-some environmental factors may increase the risk of uterine fibroids. Onset of menstruation at an early age, use of birth control, vitamin D deficiency, obesity, diet (more red meat and less green vegetables, fruit and dairy), drinking alcohol are some of the and run mental factors that can increase the risk of developing fibroids.

Three main causes of chronic knee pain

Dec 2, 2018

1732

If you are suffering from chronic knee pain, there may be three reasons for it. These are the main causes of chronic joint pain seen in different individual. Let's find out more about them.

Cellular inflammation

According to the Mayo Clinic inflammation is one of the major causes of joint pain. It is more so in case of adults over 45. It is seen that some of the most common symptoms of ageing which include pains, aches and fatigue all result from inflammation. When there is inflammation inside the joint it will cause pains, aches and fatigue. The everyday joint pain that you experience is because of the inflammation in the joints. Inflammation is the root cause of the pain that you feel.

Your immune system may not work properly and as a result of that it may really is inflammatory chemicals which will attack your joint tissue. As a result of that inflammation happens and joint swelling, increased joint fluid, cartilage and bone damage and muscle loss may also be seen. In such a situation, nerves in the joints are activated and they cause pain. Sometimes the inflammatory chemicals released by your body may also directly activate the nerves of the body and that may result in pain.

Postural misalignment

Your posture may also be the cause of knee pain and joint pain. How you stand, walk and sit can decide whether you will have knee problems on not. It is the silent killer and so you don't know about it even though it is hurting you. Even if you have only 5% misalignment of your knee, it can cause 70 to 90% increase in added stress inside the joint. Such increase in load can create many times increase in the risk of worse knee health within a few months. The chances of misalignment increases if you are overweight.

When your spine is in alignment and the posture is right, you'll be able to walk better, sit better and you will not suffer from back pain, headaches or neck pain. Similarly if you have correct foot posture, there won't be any problem and pain. If your foot posture is not correct, that will create a stress on the knees, pelvis and the spine. Then there will be problems. Postural misalignment or wrong postures will rub things in the wrong way and you will experience knee pain and joint pain.

Cartilage deterioration

You may also suffer from knee and joint pain because of cartilage deterioration. Joint instability can be one of the major causes of cartilage breakdown. If you experience soreness or a swelling after activity or shifting, popping or a cracking, it may mean that you have low cartilage in your joint. Most of the time cartilage breakdown can happen because of a common condition known as lose joints.�

You may also experience inflammation, stiffness and range limitation when you suffer from cartilage deterioration. Some of the most common causes of such problem are direct blow, wear and tear and lack of movement.

If you are suffering from chronic joint pain, it is very important that you try to understand why that is happening. Your doctor may be able to help you to find out the main reason for your knee pain. If you are suffering from knee joint pain, you should see a doctor immediately or take corrective actions so that you don't have to suffer for a long.

Do natural remedies work for anyone?

Life Style

Dec 1, 2018

1152

People have been using natural remedies for a long time and they still use them. People use them because they believe they work. There are no clinical trials for such medicines and remedies. Some of they may also interact with other medicines. So, it is important for you to talk to a doctor before you try different natural remedies.

Let's find out more about few most common natural remedies that people often use.

Probiotics

Probiotics is also called as live bacterial cultures or friendly bacteria. They contain good bacteria which can protect you from bad bacteria. Doctors often prescribe antibiotics to fight bacterial infection but when you use those antibiotics besides killing those harmful bacteria, they may also kill the good ones and disrupt the natural balance. If the good bacteria is killed or eliminated from the gut, the bad bacteria such as Clostridium difficile may grow out of control and they can cause different health problems.

In a recent study it was found that 42% of the people who took probiotics were less likely to develop the area or other problems even when they take antibiotics. Probiotics is generally available in the form a dietary supplement, dairy product or fermented food.

Cranberry juice for urinary tract infections

In some studies it was found that people who drink cranberry juice regularly may be safe from urinary tract infections (UTI). It is generally caused by bacteria that live in the intestine. It is also the second most common infection seen in human beings. This problem is more common in women. Cranberry is contained special compounds which are thought to stop infection. It is effective against bacteria like Escherichia coli and does not allow the bacteria to live in the lining of the urinary tract. A study published in the journal Archives of Internal Medicine found that women who regularly drink cranberry juice where 38% less likely to suffer from UTIs. However, there are some other research which suggested that they could not find any significant effectiveness of the cranberry juice.

Cinnamon for controlling blood sugar

Several studies found that cinnamon can be used for controlling blood sugar levels and fats in the blood. However, the results of different studies were found to be mixed. It 2009 study found that in 12 weeks people with type 2 diabetes who took cinnamon everyday found the blood sugar levels are reduced by 0.36% in comparison to people who did not take cinnamon who found the blood sugar levels increased by 0.13%. Another study which was conducted in September 2012 found that there is no significant difference in blood sugar levels in case of type 1 and type 2 diabetes patients who took cinnamon regularly in comparison to patients were given a placebo.

Primrose oil for eczema

Eczema is a rash like and itchy skin condition which is mostly seen in babies during the first year. This is a condition which is generally triggered by an allergy to some foods, animal dander, stress or how some products. Some studies found that Primrose oil can reduce and come the itching of eczema. Some other studies could not find any sufficient evidence to suggest any benefit of using Primrose oil in case of patients suffering from eczema. There are some other and better alternatives available like a good cream moisturiser or a corticosteroid cream which can probably help better.
