If you are reading this, it is probably due to something you'd rather not be talking about to anyone. Erectile dysfunction, also sometimes known as impotence, is a condition that affects almost every man at some point in their lives. This issue is defined as the inability to maintain an erection that is firm enough to have secual intercourse. If this is something that you've just had once or twice in your life then chances are you don't have ED, as i said earlier it really does happen to everyone, you are probably just having an off night or week due to some stress you're having at work or in your relationship. That can be solved by talking it out and coming up with a way to unwind and relax again. If you have the issue continually, however, not only is it probably ED but it is possible that the stresses and lack of confidence that is caused by having ED can cause you to continue having ED in the future. It's a very scary and slippery slope so the quicker you get a grip on it and get some help, the bigger the favor you are doing yourself.
Do not let your pride or your shame be the reason that you keep this problem under your hat. You NEED to talk to your doctor about this before you cause serious damage to yourself psychologically, or to your partner or loved one by lowering the quality of your relationship. Sometimes treating an underlying condition that is responsible for your specific brand of ED is enough to straight up cure it and reverse it for good. There are, of course, situations where this is not the case and ongoing treatment is needed, but honestly that is all the more reason to see a professional and talk to them.
One of the best things that you can do on your own for ED is to just try your very best to live a healthy lifestyle. Make good choices when it comes to your health and any known conditions that you have. Keep excercising, this is good for most aspects of your body, gets the blood flowing, strengthens the heart, everything. You may also want to look into ways to reduce stress in your life. This can be done by taking yoga classes, speaking to a therapist, a couples counselor, or both depending on any issues you may be aware of in your life. The fact is that no one knows you better than yourself, so you would then know the best steps to take to reduce your stress. Also lay off the smoking, alcohol, and drugs, for obvious reasons these things do a number on your body. If nothing helps get treatment for your condition so you can get back on with your life. Good luck!I have dealt with erectile dysfunction for several years. Erectile dysfunction in case you are not familiar with the term is the inability to get or keep an erection firm enough to have sexual intercourse. This has been very hard for me to deal with emotionally and sexually. My wife thought at first that she wasn't helping me stay hard enough. It did help to talk to my wife about this problem. After researching together, we found that there are many causes for erectile dysfunction such as changes in blood pressure caused by obesity and metabolic syndrome, stress, changes in body composition and surprisingly, cholesterol. We found Parkinson's Disease, MS, sleep apnea and sleep disorders, alcohol and drug use are also causes of erectile dysfunction. Many of these are treatable with medical help. In fact, we found that when I quit smoking, it helped. When I exercise regularly and watch what I eat so my blood sugar and blood pressure are not too high, that also helps. My doctor says it would help for me to lose some weight as well. One of the biggest helps has been keeping my stress level low. My doctor in Greece also recommended Viagra ελλαδα to assist with a healthy sex life and maintaining an erection for sexual intercourse. The Viagra has helped, but I would love to not have to take it.Zac Monk

With all the social media and body expectations of today, we find more and more people striving to lose weight. Weight loss has always been a stigma in the world and a daunting huddle that people dread to face. As many know, weight gain is much easier to come by than weight loss. Packing on the pounds has even been adversely encourage by the new day in age of video games, social media networking and television programming that encourage people to stay in their house and not be active. The decline in mobility has caused people to become more and more heavier over the years. With the media image of ideal weight and looks, people are afraid to be in their own skin and instead focus on shedding pounds to look like that most admired person they see online. The problem with this is that people would like to take the easiest route as possible in losing the unwanted weight. According to the research by viagrafarmakeio.gr many people are not willing to make the sacrifices needed to properly shed unwanted weight. The hard facts about losing weight is that a person must be active, eat a well-proportioned meal, which may exclude all or most of the sugars and fats in a diet, and have the will power to work. More times than not, the mindset is that the person wants to eat what they want when they want with being physical as minimal as possible.
With this in mind, there is no wonder we are seeing more and more people turning to plastic surgery and weight loss surgery to obtain the body that they desire to have. People are putting more effort into saving money to obtaining body altering surgery than they are putting in obtaining their desired body naturally. When choosing to get plastic surgery or weight loss surgery instead of actually going through the process and losing weight by means of exercise and healthy eating, people tend to lack the maintenance of the weight loss. More times than not, people who obtain plastic surgery or weight loss surgery to lose weight end up being overweight again by means of gaining a little of the weight back or gaining more weight back than their pre-surgery weight. Having surgery by means of losing weight activates a mindset in people that they can now consume anything they want and, in any portion, because they have paid to have this surgery to take away their fat. This is ultimately not true and ends up causing more harm to people than not. Weight loss is a mindset and lifestyle change. People must be really dedicated and focused in order to be successful in losing weight.After a particularly rough winter, i had gained roughly 30 pounds. It can be hard to get your motivation up when you do not want to get out and move. I have a treadmill that has been dormant for quite some time, so i began to put it to use. I was really surprised what i got done when i set my mind to it. If you put in the work, and stay dedicated, you really can get results. We can do it! And if exercise is key, the lock is your diet.
Once you really start working out again, you will be hungry, and you have to stick to your plan. Your caloric intake has to match the work you put in. If you spend every day slaving away doing cardio activities, then eat terrible because you are ravenous, your body will simply plateau. If you can always treat your diet and exercise plan with respect, you can lose the weight you want! I know you can, because i have done it. 30lbs, or 300, it has been done before, and we can do it again. Eat healthy, train hard, and respect yourself, what do you have to lose except WEIGHT!Xavier Samuel

You are out enjoying the day with your family and having an amazing time. All of a sudden you have a pain in your stomach. You get anxious. You know this pain. You thought that you would be okay today. You rush to the bathroom leaving your family with your spouse. Your irritable bowel syndrome is acting up again and has ruined another beautiful day. You are apart of many people who live every day with irritable bowel syndrome.
Irritable bowel syndrome is a common disorder that affects the large intestine
The signs and symptoms of Irritable bowel syndrome vary, but the usually include the following: painful abdominal pain, excessive gas, constipation or diarrhea - some individuals state they have moments of both of these during their irritable bowel syndrome flare ups, and finally stool with mucus in it
Luckily, irritable bowel syndrome can be managed most of the time with common practices
These include managing stress, creating a healthy diet. If you are having more severe symptoms that the above does not help then you can get medication that can help.
You may want to see your primary care physician when there are some severe signs and symptoms. Some of these signs can be unexplained vomiting, significant weight loss, diarrhea at night, bleeding from the anal area, and pain that is highly uncomfortable that isn't relieved from passing gas.
Unfortunately, there is not a main reason why irritable bowel syndrome occurs
Medical professionals have found many reasons why irritable bowel syndrome may occur. One of those is inflammation in the intestines. This inflammation causes pain and diarrhea. Another thing that can cause irritable bowel syndrome is muscle contradicting in the intestines. Contracts in the intestines that are fast can cause faster movement which then creates pain and loose stools. Contractions that are slow also create pain and constipation. There are many other causes that can create irritable bowel syndrome. Talk to your primary care physician and they can help you pinpoint what may be causing yours.
Irritable bowel syndrome also has many triggers than can make it flare up for a person
One of the main triggers is food. Many individuals with irritable bowel syndrome claimed that eating certain foods causes their irritable bowel syndrome to be worse than other times. Individuals have also stated that when they are stressed it causes their irritable bowel syndrome flair up to be worse than it usually is. Finally, hormones can be another trigger of irritable bowel syndrome. Oddly enough it is reported that women actually have irritable bowel syndrome more than men. Women also state that their irritable bowel syndrome symptoms are worse during their menstrual cycle.
Like triggers, there are many risk factors that occurs with irritable bowel syndrome
The main one is age. Individuals under the age of 50 are more prone to have irritable bowel syndrome. As stated earlier, females are more likely to have irritable bowel syndrome than men. A family history of irritable bowel syndrome may also be a major risk factor. It seems it runs in genes. Finally, if you have mental health problems then you are more prone to irritable bowel syndrome. Irritable bowel syndrome is brought on a lot by stress and having anxiety and other mental health issues causes stress.
Many individuals with irritable bowel syndrome claim they need treatment to help control their symptoms and to live a better life
One main thing a person can do to avoid irritable bowel syndrome is to stay away from foods that trigger it. Keeping a food journal is a great tool to use when figuring out what is causing flair ups. Eating high-fiber foods can also help manage your gut health. If your condition requires more than just simple lifestyle changes, your primary care physician may provide you medication. Some of these medications can be fiber supplements, laxatives if your irritable bowel syndrome causes constipation, and even pain medications to control the main that is occurring in your stomach.
Irritable bowel syndrome is a very common disorder that can really damper someone's day when it flairs up. About one in five Australians have irritable bowel syndrome! Thankfully, with proper treatment, whether it's at home home treatment or medications irritable bowel syndrome can be dealt with.

Cramping? Experiencing very frequent intestine symptoms like constipation or diarrhoea? Maybe you suffering from a very common intestinal disorder: the Irritable Bowel Syndrome, also known as IBS.
IBS is usually a lifelong condition with a wide range of symptoms that arises over time in different forms of duration and intensity. It's estimated that 20% of Swiss people has suffered from Irritable Bowel Syndrome in its lifetime. Also its more common in women population: about twice more frequent than in men population. IBS usually affect adult from 30 years old but can affect younger people, even children and teenagers.
Causes of IBS are not well understood yet but research at potenzmittelschweiz.net has shown that probably have a multifactorial aetiology
Often irritable colon syndrome is triggered after a gastroenteritis infection.
In Switzerland the incidence of gastroenteritis is very high with more than 17 million cases per year, and approximately one in four of them are foodborne. This gives us the dimension of the diffusion of this particular digestive tract disease in Switzerland. Another possible cause of IBS is of endocrine nature and involves the role of Corticotropin Releasing Hormone (CRH) in stress related Irritable Bowel cases.
The major symptom of IBS is Abdominal pain, accompanied with changes in defecation frequency, in stool form and intestinal bloating. Symptomatology varies in intensity and frequency from people to people but can be confused with those of other intestinal conditions such as cancer and Crohn Disease. When symptoms like rectal bleeding, anaemia and weight loss accompanies the more common IBS symptomatology further investigation is necessary. Gluten sensitivity and celiac disease shares some symptoms with IBS like bloating and diarrhoea and in both conditions in the patient's stool can be present mucus. IBS diagnosis is often an exclusion one, though a more modern medical approach to irritable bowel Syndrome encourages a diagnosis based on positive ROME IV diagnostic criteria.
Far more dangerous are similarity between IBS symptoms and those of colon cancer
People affected from the two conditions share abdominal cramping, constipation and bloating but cancer patients developed nausea, weight loss and bleeding from the rectum, but often only when the tumor is in an advanced stadium. Colon cancer is the third more common neoplasia in Australia with more than 15000 new cases and 5000 deaths every year hence the importance of ruling out this disease in the diagnostic process.
As said before being a woman is a risk factor for irritable bowel syndrome, considering the major incident of the condition in Australian women. Who belongs to a lower socioeconomic status is associated with a greater risk to suffer from IBS, probably due to worst diet and increased stress factors. Even familiarity with people affected by IBS is a risk factor suggesting genetic factors in the triggering of the disease.
IBS is not a condition that leads to an increase mortality rate, but can reduce the quality of life in affected people, leading to psychological problems. The treatment of Irritable Bowel syndrome is primarily focused on the adoption of a proper diet and reassurance of the patient, to avoid further stress factors. Dietary recommendations includes consumption of less insoluble and more soluble fibres, the avoiding of peculiar foods such as alcohol, caffeine and adoption of a low FODMAP diet. The last being a dietary regime consisting of reduction in foods containing fermentable carbohydrates that causes excess gas production leading to diarrhoeal episodes and abdominal pain.
Regular exercise workout can relieve the IBS symptoms and doctors advice to accompany physical activity with diets.
Psychological therapies are often very effective to improve symptoms of IBS. Stress and Anxiety are a common factor in triggering of irritable bowel disease, taking into account the fact that in Australia anxiety-related conditions are increasing, with more than 30% of women and 20% of men affected at some point of their life. Handling these psychological disorders can be a successful way to treat and even resolve, in some cases, IBS problems. Psychotherapy is a major form of treatment for stress related IBS but it's a matter of fact that the use of antidepressants like SSRIs can significantly reduce symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome. Medicines that treat symptoms when they emerge are commonly used by patients: antispasmodic drugs like mebeverine (Buscopan) can relieve symptomatology as do laxatives in constipation inducted by IBS. Use of Probiotic preparations in treatment of IBS is controversial but research has successfully proved their positive role in diarrhoeic episodes. Peppermint oil has shown properties useful to relief symptoms in many patients affected by irritable bowel syndrome and is widely used in Switzerland for this purpose. Another common herbal treatment to IBS and other disorders of gastrointestinal tract is Iberogast, a phytopharmacon with nine herbal extract which has shown a good ability to handle IBS symptoms.
Even though Irritable bowel syndrome is a common intestinal health condition its causes are not so clear and treatments are mainly symptomatic. Probably the best advice for the best management of the disease is to changing lifestyle by adopting a good diet, taking care of the physical health and get rid of anxiety factors maybe with the help of a therapist.

The term premature ejaculation offers a very easy to understand idea, and even for someone who has never heard the term before, it shouldn't take more than a few seconds to form an idea in their head about what it describes.
Having that in mind, one could expect to already have relevant, basic information to understand what we are talking about. Unfortunately, that is not the case, because when one takes into consideration human sexuality, we are talking about one of the most complicated processes in the entire realm of Biology. While most animals have a defined and predictable process of reproduction, the human species was designed in a way that makes the study and understanding of their process something that takes a much more than mere Biology to understand even though we are talking obviously about a very Biological process.
This introduction is necessary in order to approach the idea of what premature ejaculation is, because one can not simply offer a direct, objective definition of it and expect to cover what it truly means
That is so because the idea of a man not being able to hold their ejaculation for a satisfactory amount of time obviously hangs on the concept of 'enough' -which each person will define based on personal preferences and necessities, both of themselves and of their partner. Now, while many other subjects have this same dichotomy of having, on one side, the need for a scientific, over-reaching and pragmatically applicable definition, and, on the other side, a necessity to embrace a good deal of human subjectivity, there are many of them in which is possible to, in the name of medical practicality, cut the definition short with an Occam razor move that delivers an objective enough compromise. That is not the case with premature ejaculation, since the effects of a clinical case of it that does not fit the official, most obvious, type of behaviour embraced by the simplest pragmatic description can still cause a good deal of hassle in a person's life.
So, the Potenzpillenschweiz.com marks the clear-cut case of clinical premature ejaculation that of patients who ejaculate around fifteen seconds from the beginning of the intercourse
Adding to that definition, it characterizes normal ejaculation as taking four to eight minutes, and suggests that above this mark, one would be dealing with what is caused delayed ejaculation. The complication here is that while such medical definitions can be used to stabilize and help patients in general, in this case the appliance of those marks would not have a direct consequence for most people who feel their ejaculatory functions are not up to standards, and that is not because they have unrealistic, unattainable expectations. The fact is that, while patients who experience the most problematic symptom signified by the disease catalog need and can find immediate assistance and solution, many of those same solutions can be applied to other cases of people experiencing dissatisfaction with reaching orgasm to soon, and all those solutions and procedures fall properly into the category of dealing with premature ejaculation, regardless of the most direct definition of the term.
The outlining of those procedures is so vast that reports show that most men are able to prolong their time of ejaculation by themselves, without any need for medical support
One common solution is to act psychologically, and simply control the way one's mind behaves during sexual intercourse, by taking one's thoughts in a controlled manner that does not allow the same overflowing of the senses that leads to the climatic occasion of an orgasm. Although it does function in the way expected, the majority of cases relates a loss in sexual pleasure, both in the person doing the procedure, as in their partner. So this can be helpful in the extreme cases of the premature ejaculation completely ruining the sexual experience, but can hardly be expected to work in any other case. Ejaculating before sexual intercourse, and then waiting to have a new erection, which, normally, should last longer before orgasm, also has shown positive effects, as well as using more than one condom to reduce friction, and those also offer relief to the patient having a hard time controlling their erection, even though the latter is excessively dangerous and commonly leads to condom breakage.
That makes so the most practical and working solution ends up on a mode of sex therapy called Kegel exercises, which consists in a series of muscle working which strengthens them around the pelvic floor, and lead to a physiological, direct control of the ejaculation process. This can be coupled with other techniques to desensitize the man's responses and to reduce excessive sexual arousal. The entire regime can be learned by oneself, through books or courses, which are known to be effective, or directly applied by a professional, which can both instruct on the performance of them, as well as adjust routines to better fit each case.

What is shingles?Shingles occur due to a reactivation of the varicella-zoster virus that lies dormant in the nerve roots of the skin after causing varicella (varicella) of the childhood disease decades earlier.Shingles generally occurs as a painful rash with blisters in a band of skin provided by a single nerve (dermatome) on one side of the body. Pain often precedes the rash by a few days; sometimes causing it to be mistaken for other conditions.The pain at the site of herpes zoster eruption that persists for months or years is the most common debilitating result of shingles. Known as post-herpetic neuralgia (PHN), this pain can be continuous, excruciating or triggered by a light touch, such as clothes or a light breeze.There is no cure for PHN and it is difficult to alleviate more than half of those affected, despite the use of multiple and complex painkillers. Although shingles is treated in advance with antiviral drugs and painkillers, PHN can occur.Another common complication is ophthalmic herpes zoster, which affects the skin around the eye and can threaten the sight of the person.How common are shingles?Almost all Australian adults (over 95%) have been infected with the varicella-zoster virus (although they do not remember having had chickenpox) and are therefore at risk of shingles.Advanced age is the main risk factor for developing shingles. As we age, our cellular immunity needed to suppress the virus in us diminishes.About one in three people will develop shingles during their life and about 20,000 Australian adults between the ages of 70 and 79 suffer from it each year.The older you are when you have shingles the more likely you are to develop complications. PHN occurs after shingles in about one in ten cases in those between the ages of 50 and 59, but rises to one in five in those in their 70s.People who have a medical condition or treatment (such as cancer) that weakens the immune system are at greater risk of developing shingles, regardless of their age.The herpes zoster vaccineThe vaccine against herpes zoster or zoster (Zostavax brand) is composed of a living but weakened form of the varicella-zoster virus.The vaccine is about 14 times more potent than the same vaccine virus in the existing varicella (varicella) vaccines recommended for children, since more viruses are needed to stimulate T cells in the elderly who are already infected.According to stiaustralia.org, the single-dose zoster vaccine has been registered in Australia and other countries for almost a decade, but with limited availability. It has been shown to be effective and safe for 50 years.About half of vaccinated people develop pain, swelling or redness at the injection site, but it is usually mild and short-lived.It is important to note that since it is a live attenuated vaccine, it should not be used in people with a significantly compromised immune system.How effective is the vaccine and for how long?The Shingles Prevention Study (SPS) enrolled about 40,000 adults and found that Zostavax, compared to placebo, reduced the risk of shingles by about half (51%) and PHN by about two-thirds (67%) in people aged 60 or over.But protection against herpes zoster vaccines decreases with age: from 64% in people aged 60 to 69, to 41% between 70-79 years and to 18% for people of equal age or over 80 years.On the other hand, protection against PHN in individuals between the ages of 70 and 79 was the same as in people aged 60; the risk of PHN was reduced by about two thirds in each group. This means that even if a vaccinated 70-year-old person develops shingles, his chance of getting PHN should be reduced by about 50%.How long a single dose of the vaccine is still being studied. Clinical studies have shown that protection has decreased over five years after vaccination; the protection can extend longer, but this is uncertain.At this stage, a second or "booster dose" is not routinely recommended.Why is the free vaccine offered only to 70-year-olds?Taking all these considerations into account, the choice of who to provide the free vaccination involved complex modeling that took into account both the peak age of the disease and the severity, and the loss of vaccine effects over time.After considering these and other factors, the 70-year vaccination - with a "recovery" program that offers free vaccines to children aged 71 to 79 over the next five years - is the most cost-effective strategy.Outside the funded program, the zoster vaccine can also be prescribed to anyone aged 50 to 69 or over 80, but recipients will have to pay.
