Podcasts about Sexual dysfunction

For many people, it can be difficult to talk about the feelings of loss that can accompany MS. For some, it's the loss of the way they imagined their life would turn out. For others, it's the more specific loss of function. Perhaps the loss of their mobility. Or a decline in their cognitive skills. It's painful to imagine any of these scenarios, let alone experience them in real life.    The human response to loss is grief. And grieving itself can affect your physical, emotional, and cognitive health. Joining me today to discuss how grieving can affect you, along with ways to best manage grief, is Dr. Mary-Frances O'Connor. Dr. O'Connor is a professor of psychology at the University of Arizona, where she directs the Grief, Loss, and Social Stress Lab, investigating the effects of grief on the brain and the body. Dr. O'Connor also lives with MS, and the title of her new book is The Grieving Body: How the Stress of Loss Can Be an Opportunity for Healing. We'll also share the results of a study on MS fatigue in Finland. We'll tell you about a study that focused on sexual dysfunction among women living with MS in Iran. You'll learn what a research team discovered when they connected sick days from work with the prodromal phase of MS. And we're sharing a new resource from the MS International Federation that will help you assess which wellness practices and complementary therapies may be beneficial for you. We have a lot to talk about! Are you ready for RealTalk MS??!

Together, we discuss how this understanding could reshape treatment options for those who've been told their conditions are “all in their heads.” Dr. Kim explains how seemingly routine spinal issues, such as annular tears or Tarlov cysts, may trigger chronic pain that extends beyond the back, affecting intimate areas in ways that are often overlooked by conventional medicine.He also shares the innovative diagnostic techniques he uses to distinguish spinal-related sexual dysfunction from other causes, which has opened doors to effective, minimally invasive treatments.In addition, we discuss the challenges of bringing these ideas to the broader medical community. Dr. Kim has faced resistance from peers who view the spine as an unlikely source of sexual pain, yet his patient successes speak volumes. This episode is packed with insights for both patients and practitioners who want to explore a more holistic approach to pain management and sexual health.Dr. Kim's dedication to helping patients find relief from life-disrupting symptoms is nothing short of inspiring.

On this podcast, Drs. Demoss and Alvarez will be discussing the much-overlooked problem of sexual dysfunction in psychiatric consultation.  Of course, the side effects of psychiatric medication can wreck the sex lives of our patients, but few of us feel equipped to address sexual dysfunction when it occurs, so we may not even bring it up.  In this brief conversation, we'll start you with some assessment skills, then build on it with a way to formulate the problem to find the right solution, and the latest evidence behind interventions that can help our patients recover their sexual health and satisfaction along with their mental health.

The spinal cord serves as the main communication highway between the brain and body. Did you know that 80% of people with multiple sclerosis have spinal cord lesions on MRI? These lesions can disrupt specific neural pathways, leading to common MS symptoms like numbness, weakness, impaired coordination, balance issues, bladder problems, constipation, and sexual dysfunction. For instance, damage to the corticospinal tract on one side of the spinal cord can weaken an arm or leg. A remarkable autopsy study revealed that nearly 90% of people with MS still had active inflammation in the spinal cord. This finding brings new hope for potential treatments, even for older and progressive MS patients. Advances in imaging technology, including more powerful MRI scanners (3 Tesla and higher), are enhancing our ability to see inside the spinal cord, which is as thin as a pinky finger. Improved spinal cord imaging is driving the development of new therapies in clinical trials and helping identify those at risk for worsening disability, ultimately guiding better treatment decisions.

On today's episode we have Garry Ingraham with us to talk about sexual dysfunction and freedom!Note:  Jeff made a comment about getting divorced and remarrying as being unbiblical. We wanted to make sure we're clear that getting divorced and remarried is not unbiblical for everyone, but Jesus does address distinctions in Matthew 19:7-9, Luke 16:18. The problem that has arisen is that we take hard stances (Biblically) to issues like homosexuality (as we should) and neglect other passages that call Christians into conviction because they have been accommodated by the culture. Note: Jeff also talked about Malcom Gladwell's book “Outliers” and said that the community came from Ireland, when in fact it was Italy.  

This epsiode includes content related to reproductive organs and sexual health and may not be suitable for all listeners.In this episode, we speak with Dr. Oluwatosin "Tosin" Goje, an Associate Professor of OBGYN and reproductive biology at the Cleveland Clinic. We delve into the critical and often under-discussed topic of female sexual health issues related to chronic genital graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), a condition affecting many women post bone marrow transplant.Dr. Goje begins by highlighting the prevalence of sexual dysfunction among female survivors of malignancies, particularly those who have undergone bone marrow transplants. Astonishingly, 80% of female survivors report no significant improvement in their sexual function even five years post-transplant. This issue, often underdiagnosed and unspoken about, affects their quality of life despite their physical recovery.She explains that the persistent sexual dysfunction is multifactorial. Factors include the systemic effects of chronic GVHD, which can cause fatigue and changes in body appearance, making patients feel less attractive. Chronic genital GVHD specifically affects the vulva and vagina, causing changes like thickening, rawness, and atrophy, leading to pain with intimacy, burning, and even bleeding. Additionally, medications can alter libido, and the overall psychosocial burden of their diagnosis and treatment exacerbates these issues.Dr. Goje emphasizes the importance of a multidisciplinary approach to manage these problems. She details the symptoms of genital GVHD and the necessity of individualized treatment plans. Hormone replacement therapy is essential for those with premature ovarian insufficiency or menopause, which can be accelerated by the transplant. Vaginal estrogen or other moisturizers and lubricants are often required, along with immunosuppressants like topical clobetasol to manage inflammation.Communication emerges as a vital theme throughout our conversation. Dr. Goje stresses that healthcare providers need to proactively ask about sexual health issues. Patients, often so grateful for their survival, do not prioritize these concerns. Utilizing validated questionnaires can help initiate these crucial discussions and overcome hesitation to begin the conversation. For patients, Dr. Goji advises regular consultations with a gynecologist and open discussions about their medications and any sexual health issues they experience, even before diagnosis.Addressing the specific needs of younger women, Dr. Goje discusses options like egg freezing before treatment to preserve fertility. She also notes that many foundations and insurance plans provide financial support for these procedures.Dr. Goje highlights the various treatments available for managing sexual dysfunction, including the use of silicone dilators, surgical interventions, and laser therapy. She encourages couples to communicate openly about their sexual health and consider sex therapy or couples therapy to address issues together. For patients experiencing chronic vaginal pain or infections, she recommends appropriate medical treatments, including potential surgery or laser treatment. She emphasizes the need for accurate diagnosis and management.Finally, Dr. Goje shares poignant stories from her practice, illustrating her deep commitment to her patients' holistic health.

This epsiode includes content related to reproductive organs and sexual health and may not be suitable for all listeners.In this podcast, we welcome Dr. Jose Flores, an expert in sexual and reproductive medicine at New York's Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. We dive deep into the often challenging but crucial topic of male sexuality, particularly in the context of cancer treatment and graft versus host disease (GVHD).Dr. Flores begins by distinguishing between sexual dysfunction and erectile dysfunction (ED). He emphasizes that sexual dysfunction encompasses various issues beyond just achieving erections, such as ejaculation problems, orgasm issues, decreased sex drive, and changes in penile shape. This broader understanding is essential when discussing sexual health with patients.The prevalence of ED after cancer treatment is notably high, with up to 60-70% of men experiencing it post-chemotherapy, and even higher rates following pelvic surgery, specifically. Low testosterone levels also contribute significantly to sexual dysfunction, particularly after treatments targeting the pelvic area.A critical aspect of addressing ED is breaking the wall of silence around it. Dr. Flores stresses the importance of open communication between patients and healthcare providers. Initiating conversations about sexual health can lead to better assessments and treatments. He outlines the initial steps in diagnosing ED, including patient questionnaires and lab tests, and underscores the need for healthcare providers to proactively ask patients about their sexual health.The discussion then shifts to the impact of GVHD on sexual function. Dr. Flores notes that about 70% of men post-bone marrow or stem cell transplant suffer from low testosterone and ED. Unfortunately, without intervention, these issues do not typically resolve on their own. Patients must seek help to explore treatment options.Dr. Flores explains the ED treatment model, which follows a stepwise approach. The first step includes lifestyle modifications and the use of PDE-5 inhibitors like Viagra and Cialis. If these are ineffective, injection therapy is the next step, followed by mechanical aids like penile pumps and, as a last resort, penile implants.Myths and realities of PDE-5 inhibitors are addressed, clarifying that these medications require proper usage, including an empty stomach for Viagra and sufficient time for absorption for Cialis, along with sexual stimulation to be effective. Proper education on these aspects can significantly enhance their effectiveness.Low testosterone, particularly after cancer treatment, is another major topic. Dr. Flores discusses the complexities of testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), including potential risks like polycythemia, effects on fertility, and the necessity of screening for conditions like sleep apnea and prostate cancer before starting treatment. He advises patients to preserve fertility before undergoing cancer treatments and outlines options for those with compromised fertility post-treatment.The conversation concludes with Dr. Flores urging patients to be proactive about their sexual and reproductive health. He highlights the importance of seeking specialized care and the positive impact it can have on overall quality of life. Throughout the discussion, Dr. Flores's compassionate approach underscores the importance of addressing these sensitive issues openly and effectively.Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center: https://www.mskcc.orgInternational Index of Erectile Dysfunction: https://www.uptodate.comTestosterone Replacement Therapy Information: https://www.urologyhealth.orgThis season is made possible thanks to donations from Syndax and Incyte.https://syndax.com/https://incyte.com/ Follow the nbmtLINK on Instagram! https://www.instagram.com/nbmtlink/

EPISODE TRANSCRIPTION ELLISON MELROSEGood morning PT on ICE Daily Show I am coming to you live from Durango, Colorado this morning in my truck so excuse the background, but we are here to talk about First of all, my name is Dr. Ellison Melrose. I am lead faculty with the dry needling division of ICE. I am coming to you today to talk about dry needling in the pelvic health space, particularly for sexual dysfunction in females or in women. And I wanted to highlight two common diagnoses we have, which is vulvodynia and vaginismus. So let's dive right into that. First, I want to highlight in 2018, there was a joint report done by both the International Urogynecology Association and International Continence Society that overviewed sexual function and dysfunction. They did a deep dive into things like the proper screening, what proper history or physical subjective objective exam would look like. And then they had a huge section on the prevalence of pelvic floor dysfunction in folks that had sexual dysfunction as well. So that's what I wanted to highlight today. We, in the pelvic floor practice or pelvic floor space, we see it often where pelvic floor dysfunction and sexual dysfunction is highly linked and correlated. what I, what this report, um, highlighted is that there's actually 37 different diagnoses of sexual dysfunction that can be attributed to some form of pelvic floor dysfunction. And that's a lot, right? So, um, there granted, I mean, if you look at all of the, the nitty gritty diagnoses, um, we may be thinking maybe we're over medicalizing this, patient population a little bit with specific diagnoses, but it highlights the fact that there's so many people out there that have pelvic floor dysfunction that is contributing to a form of sexual dysfunction. 45% of women that have urinary incontinence will complain of sexual dysfunction at some point in their life. Of that 45%, 34% of that is hyposexual desire disorder. Um, and 44% of those are a brand of sexual pain disorder, which is either dyspareunia or a non-coital, so a genital pain that's not associated with intimacy. And that's what I wanted to highlight. Two most common diagnosis that we see in the clinic that can be challenging for us as pelvic floor PTs often are both vulvodynia and vaginismus. And we'll kind of get into potentially why these can be challenging diagnoses for us. DRY NEEDLING FOR VULVODYNIA Um, but for vulvodynia, the clinical definition of this is anyone that has had pain in or around the vulva region for at least three months without a clear ideology of symptoms. So they don't have, They've had negative cultures, so they don't have either fungal or bacterial infection going on here. And so there's this idiopathic pain presentation in the vulva region. And then vaginismus is a recurrent or a persistent muscle spasm of the pelvic floor, which inhibits any form or enables penetration and there's different forms of vaginismus and different diagnosis underneath that umbrella of vaginismus. And we can kind of dive into that when we talk about vaginismus specifically. I wanted to highlight these two diagnoses particularly because without a proper diagnosis, oftentimes the internal assessment can either be very challenging or it can be very non-therapeutic and actually traumatizing to some of these folks. So if we don't have a particular subjective exam that allows us to understand what is going on with our patients, the whole pelvic floor assessment may be not therapeutic. So for both of these diagnoses, everything starts in the subjective exam. Let's start with vulvodynia. So vulvodynia, oftentimes folks may have symptoms similar to that of a yeast infection or a UTI that then kind of snowballs from there. They may have actually had recurrent yeast infections or UTIs in the past and are familiar with those symptoms, but, and so they do their normal treatment with that, which a lot of times is either over-the-counter medication or they might phone up their OBGYN and say, well, let's get some of these either antifungals or antibiotics on board ahead of time while we wait for the culture. Well, culture comes back negative and the symptoms are still persisting. Sometimes they may get taken away with some of the medication a little bit, but the symptoms overall typically will persist past that. Um, and for folks that have this at this point, it is no longer a, um, you know, bacterial or yeast causing these symptoms. There is a brand of neuropathic pain going So a lot of times they have either had this for quite a long time, at least three months, they've seen other providers that have either provided a medical treatment or something that has been ineffective. And so symptoms have continued. When we think about neuropathic pain and the chronicity and the persistent pain or the chronic pain side of things here, this actually heightened symptoms typically. Um, other subjective things that you might see in these folks is that they may have, um, some sensitivity to, uh, like touch in, in the vulva region, right? So wearing specific type of clothing may be uncomfortable where they may have other brands of, uh, nerve related symptoms like itching or burning. Um, which oftentimes are two symptoms that we think about for either a yeast infection or ATI. And so that's why they get mismanaged in their medical treatment. So it all starts in the subjective exam. And while an internal assessment in these folks isn't out of the question, it can definitely be helpful. It doesn't always, it's not the most efficient way to go about treating this pain presentation. when we think about neuropathic pain, we need to think about, okay, why is this nerve so irritated? And a lot of times in vulvodynia, they see that there is either a irritation of the nerve. Sometimes there can even be, you know, some, some changes in the myelin sheath of these nerves. So there's actual nerve damage associated with it. Depending on maybe what the original cause of the, nerve irritation was. And so when we dive into, we've highlighted their subjective complaints, we know what's going on here, where do we go from there, the internal assessment may be valuable in order to see is this maybe a hypertonicity issue. So if we have tight pelvic floor musculature, can we teach them to relax their pelvic floor and allow for improved blood flow to the pudendal nerve that could be contributing to some of these symptoms. So there is a lot, there is value in that. And I believe that there is, um, oftentimes in the pelvic health space, we are so used to, um, you know, trying to treat, the patient's symptoms ourselves, whereas we can teach our patients to help themselves with learning how to relax their pelvic floor. So there is a benefit in the vulvodynia patient population to utilize the internal assessment. But when we think about efficiency, so how can we treat a neuropathic pain presentation the most efficiently in our in our clinical setting? I am in the dry needling space, and so we use dry needling a ton outside of the pelvic floor world for treating various different brands of pain, one of which is neuropathic pain. So dry needling can be a super efficient tool to improve, to talk to the nervous system and do a nervous system reset to the nerve in question, which oftentimes is the lupudendal nerve. So dry needling is a very efficient tool in order to improve those neuropathic symptoms. With that being said, everything we do physically, manually, we need to highlight that this is a persistent pain diagnosis at this point. And so we need to be utilizing our pain neuroscience education. um, educating these folks about, um, what, what happens to our nervous system when we have had pain for a long period of time. Um, and, and that pain doesn't necessarily equal damage at this point or else everything that we do with our, our manual skills or dry needling, uh, will only get us so far. Right. So, um, vulvodynia again a lot of times these patients come in to us with chronic symptoms so they've been going at this for a very long time they've had typically a medical mismanagement where they've been having some medications on board that weren't helping their symptoms they have a lot of sensitized nervous system and so we want to make sure that we are using the most clinically efficient tool to treat these symptoms. Oftentimes as well, you might actually get some reproduction of symptoms with dry needling when we're approximating the pudendal nerve or getting close to that pudendal nerve, which can be helpful in almost diagnosing, right? So using our tools to help with localizing their symptoms. So that is how we would use dry needling in a case for vulvodynia and in a patient population where we would still likely be able to utilize the internal assessment. DRY NEEDLING FOR VAGINISMUS Now let's pivot to vaginismus. Let's talk a little bit more about different diagnoses under the umbrella of vaginismus and then how we would and why we would use dry needling in this patient population. So, Vaginismus, there's two different diagnoses and underneath that we have two other subdivisions. So we have both primary and secondary vaginismus. So again, a reminder vaginismus is either a persistent muscle spasm of the pelvic floor. It's either persistent or it's associated with something and we'll get into that. Primary means that this has been forever. So this has always been an issue. Um, sometimes there may be a congenital malformation of the genital track on board with this patient population as well. Um, and if that is the case, even things like typically their first, um, like, uh, association with any form of penetration, uh, is oftentimes a, when they get their menstrual cycle. So, um, having a tampon and they're unable to actually insert a tampon into their vagina. Um, from there, then they, they often with this congenital, um, malformation or having it be a primary diagnosis is they, they often are treated fairly medicalized in that state and, and they may require some form of surgical procedure to, widen the vaginal canal. So that's primary vaginismus. Secondary vaginismus is acquired. So it wasn't always an issue, but it could be acquired from a form of trauma. So either an emotional or a physical trauma that then caused muscles in the pelvic floor to spasm. And this can be either global. So what I mean by global is that it's every time anything is enters the vaginal canal, there is a muscle spasm associated with that or it's situational, meaning that things like inserting a tampon may be possible, but physical intimacy with, um, or sexual intimacy is not possible. So there's no, uh, penetration available during, uh, sexual intimacy. Um, so those are the different kind of clinical or, diagnosis we find under the umbrella of vaginismus. Oftentimes in pelvic floor PT, we will see, um, a lot more probably of the secondary vaginismus in that they've, you know, they've never had, they hadn't always had issues, but then something caused or something triggered an issue, which causes the pelvic floor muscles to, um, to spasm, right? And that could be a traumatic birth of vaginal delivery. It could be a sexual trauma. So a, um, yeah, a sexual assault or something of the sort. It could be a, uh, traumatic pelvic exam by their OBGYN, uh, which we've, I see a ton in the clinic and, um, so it could be, a natural physical trauma with that. And then it could also be heightened with a, um, an emotional trauma as well. So a lot of times, I mean, this is a very intimate part of our body. And so there's a lot of times a very, uh, pertinent, uh, or very prevalent emotional, well, um, 70%, I would say probably about 70% of your initial evaluation evaluation, is going to be a subjective exam. Understanding the why behind these patient symptoms is crucial to dictate the course of your treatment or even the course of your assessment in that initial evaluation, right? Like, are we going to be doing an internal assessment on these folks? And a lot of times, probably, probably not, right? So what does day one look like or our initial evaluation look like with folks that have vaginismus? and how and what does our course of treatment look like for them. So typically education goes a long way with folks that have had either a physical or an emotional trauma that has caused muscle spasms here, right? So teaching folks about the anatomy of the pelvic floor musculature uh, why they feel like there's a brick wall when they try to insert a tampon. Right. Um, how, uh, what a Kegel is. Right. So anytime people have any association with the pelvic floor, they are often just think, Oh, I should be doing Kegels. Right. Um, and teaching them what, what a Kegel or what a pelvic floor muscular muscle contraction is and educating like the benefits of relaxing the pelvic floor. And this is just all done through education. So no even physical touch or assessment has been done at this point, but just educating folks around the anatomy of the pelvic floor. Anatomy and physiology of the pelvic floor can go a long way here. We also want to educate about vaginismus itself. So vaginismus is another brand of chronic pain, right? So these folks have typically had pain for an extended period of time, Um, there's not a diagnostic criteria for, for duration of symptoms like there is for vulvodynia. Um, but there is a pain cycle on board here, right? So it all starts in the brain. So it, it either the, the brain perceives an emotional trauma due to either a physical trauma or, or purely emotional that registers discomfort or, or fear associated with, uh, penetration either from a previous, uh, you know, exam with a speculum from a previous sexual encounter, um, from a trauma traumatic birth, right? So the brain remembers those things, which is then going to be causing, it causes muscle guarding. So public for guards, the tight muscles in the public for cause the penetration to be painful. or impossible at sometimes. And then this difficulty in pain reinforces that alarm, the amygdala alarm that's going on up in the brain, right? That reinforces that this is a threat, right? The nervous system then remembers this pain, and so every time our brain is their, their brain is thinking about, you know, either having to go to the OBGYN or having a sexual encounter, anything like that. Um, it is going to remember that and we are going to get the same physical symptoms as the, the tight muscles, um, which is often going to lead to, you know, decrease blood flow to the nervous system, which is going to cause potentially, you know, perceived as pain by these folks. And so they're going to avoid those, uh, you know, avoid whatever is causing this pain cycle, right? And those folks, which ultimately, especially if this is a sexual nature is going to, um, reduce the desire to either have sexual intimacy with their partner or, um, and it's, it's going to reduce that, that overall desire, which is then going to, again, any thought of that intimacy is going to be threatening. So discussing that, that pain cycle with these patients can be very therapeutic and, and helpful in that this isn't their fault, you know? So the nervous system, I like to say it's smart, but dumb, right? It remembers things and not always for the right reasons. And so education about anatomy, physiology, about the vaginismus pain cycle, can take up a majority of your initial assessment with these folks. I also like to do, again, a guided pelvic floor relaxation series with my folks, even if we're not doing an internal assessment. So on day one, these folks, we may not be getting into an internal assessment. We may never get into an internal assessment, but we do want to teach them how to um, feel their pelvic floor muscles and, and learn how to relax them. And so sometimes, um, I will educate them on how to do some self biofeedback either with tactile cueing, um, just medial to their ischial tuberosities sitting on, um, you know, a yoga ball or something like that, where we have some, uh, tactile cueing to the, um, perineal region or the pelvic floor area. Um, and, and teaching them about, again, the anatomy and that when, We're breathing. We're trying to make some of these muscles move. Increasing movement in these tissues is going to increase blood flow to the tissues, which is going to reduce irritation to the nervous system. So teaching them how to relax their pelvic floor without even doing any physical touch yourself can also be helpful. This is a patient population where after we kind of break down and help them understand the why, I like to highlight other tools we have in our toolbox as physical therapists, right? A lot of times when these folks, um, come to pelvic floor PT, they, they've done their research. So they know often that pelvic floor PT equals an internal assessment, which they've had done by their OBGYN and it's maybe been traumatic in the past or Um, they know any form of penetration is, is traumatic. And so, um, right out the gate, I'll say, you know what, that is a tool we have in our toolbox. The internal assessment's a tool. It is gold standard for assessing how the pelvic floor muscles function, but is not everything that we do here at pelvic floor PT. And I introduced dry needling. And I know that seems like for folks that have, don't have vaginismus or don't have trauma associated with penetration, they're like, Isn't dry needling more of a threat than an internal assessment? And for folks that have vaginismus, oftentimes it's not, right? So dry needling the pelvic floor muscles can be an amazing tool as we don't necessarily need to do an internal assessment. on these folks, we know there's likely not going to be anything therapeutic initially with that initial internal assessment. So if we can utilize dry needling in the earlier stages of our pelvic floor PT with these folks, it can be an amazing tool to talk to the nervous system, you know, put a break in that pain cycle associated with the muscle spasms or the tight pelvic floor musculature. It's a beautiful kind of what I like to say control or delete to the nervous system and so it can really help with Retraining that cycle of you know, these muscles Have more control other than just muscle spasm, right? and so if we can take some of the the heightened neuropath or the heightened symptoms down with a tool like dry needling, it may allow us to either ourselves or them do a form of stretching or manual therapy where they can improve the tissue's mobility as well, right? SUMMARY So I could probably talk about this stuff all day. I've already been on here for almost 25 minutes, so I'm going to stop it here, but I want to kind of summarize everything we talked about today. Um, I, we kind of went into a recent report done in 2018 that dove into some pelvic floor dysfunction in, um, sexual function and sexual dysfunction. And we dove into two specific diagnoses today. We looked at vulvodynia and vaginismus clinically and how we can utilize things like dry needling for either treatment or even, um, diving into a little bit of some diagnostic, uh, with, utilize with dry needling as well. Um, and so, uh, while we're, you know, dry needling, the pelvic floor is a fairly unique, um, skill. Uh, there's a lot we can do with dry needling outside of the pelvic floor as well for these folks. And so, um, for those that are in this space, I highly recommend taking our lower body dry needling course if you haven't already, We go into needling for the lumbar spine, the glutes, muscles that surround the sciatic nerve. And so again, taking those principles and utilizing them in the pelvic floor space can be really helpful as well. So we have some courses upcoming this fall. We have, let me pull it up right here. We have a lower body course, I believe in Scottsdale, Arizona, in the beginning of September. We, for those that have taken lower body or upper body, we have two advanced courses coming to you this August. So we have our, our juggling summit up in Seattle and the second weekend in August. And then we have one down in Longmont, Colorado at the second to last weekend in August, um, right before Labor Day. Uh, we have a ton of lower body courses coming to you this fall. So hop onto ptlnice.com and check out what courses we have, um, coming to you.

In this episode I welcome Dr Angela Wright from Spiced Pear Health. Angela is a GP, Menopause Specialist and Clinical Sexologist. She is particularly interested in improving sexual function and menopausal symptoms in women who have undergone cancer treatment. Angela is passionate about women's health and sexology and is frequently asked to teach or talk about this subject. She is a registered trainer for the BMS & FSRH, involved in training future menopause specialists and is an active committee member of the British Society of Sexual Medicine, and the education committee of the Primary Care Women's Health Forum.   We covered so much in such a short space of time!  We started by talking about the impact of localised (vaginal) oestrogen vs what systemic HRT does - both for GSM (genito-urinary syndrome of menopause) and for sexual dysfunction.  For anyone wanting to know more about GSM, or pass information on to their GP, Angela recommends the British Society of Sexual Medicine consensus statement on GSM that's available on their website (linked below).  She goes on to explain that there is no increase in recurrence risk for oestrogen receptor positive breast cancers when using localized oestrogen to treat symptoms (and that it can be used alongside letrozole and tamoxifen). We discuss the need for patients to be able to make an informed choice about risks vs benefits, which can be challenging when healthcare professionals are not taught to understand the impact that GSM and sexual dysfunction can have on quality of life - certainly male sexual dysfunction gets a lot more attention and usually pretty rapid treatment!    We move on to discuss ‘sex tech' and the burgeoning menopause ‘market' in this area, including laser therapy (TLDR: more research needed, long term effects not known, it's expensive, and vaginal oestrogen would be more effective in the majority of cases).   Angela gives an overview of what self-care practices can be helpful for someone struggling with GSM - listen in to find out some very little known information about the clitoris (and how to keep it healthy) that was totally news to me! She also explains that a range of prescription medicines (in particular antidepressants, but also antihistamines, and blood pressure medication) can mess with our sexual responsiveness, so could be something to discuss with our healthcare provider.    For anyone struggling that wants to find out more, or support them in advocating for better care, Angela recommended a wide range of resources listed here:    Mind The Gap, by Karen Gurney Better Sex Through Mindfulness, by Lori Brotto Becoming Clitorate, by Laurie Mintz ​​   Institute for Psychosexual Medicine website directory of practitioners https://www.ipm.org.uk/patients/specialists/  COSRT https://www.cosrt.org.uk/ - list of therapists  British Society for  Sexual Medicine (email admin@bssm.org.uk and ask for a local practitioner)  Menopause-ull webinars ​​ https://www.mnetwork.org.uk/resources/recorded-webinars/  You might also be interested in our testosterone episode with Dr Katie Barber: https://middlingalong.com/episodes/middling-along-dr-katie-barber-helps-us-get-to-grips-with-testosterone-dos-and-donts/  You can find Angela online at  ​https://spicedpearhealth.co.uk/ and https://www.instagram.com/spicedpearhealth/ If you enjoy the podcast and would like to help me keep it running (on a shoestring!) please consider buying me a ‘virtual coffee' at Ko-fi.com/middlingalong - or you can support me in a non-monetary way by sharing this episode, or writing a short review online!  If your workplace wants to become more ‘menopause friendly' then please let them know about the work I do at http://www.managingthemenopause.com  You can also find me over on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/middlingalong_podcast/ and https://www.instagram.com/managingthemenopause   Join our newsletter, The Messy Middle, for fortnightly(ish) goodness into your Inbox: https://dashboard.mailerlite.com/forms/323784/90772270045202190/share  We're delighted to be listed as one of the Top 25 podcasts for midlife and menopause here: https://www.lattelounge.co.uk/podcasts-about-the-menopause/

Awareness of the more uncommon multiple sclerosis symptoms can lead to an earlier diagnosis and appropriate treatment. For instance, experiencing electrical shock sensations when bending the neck forward, known as Lhermitte's sign, may indicate an attack on the cervical spinal cord. Likewise, excruciating bolts of pain across either side of the face, called trigeminal neuralgia, can be caused by a MS relapse. The MS hug, an unfriendly, squeezing sensation around the torso, can respond to muscle relaxants and nerve pain medications. Some MS symptoms, like tingling in legs, only surface when exercising or overheated (Uhthoff's phenomenon). Vertigo, a spinning sensation, can be a sign of MS, especially when lasting days and accompanied by other symptoms like gait imbalance, facial numbness and double vision. Brainstem attacks may also lead to swallowing issues and shaky vision. While MS bladder issues are commonly addressed,  bowel problems, including constipation, urgency, incontinence and trouble evacuating, should not be overlooked. Overcoming stigma is essential to treat sexual dysfunction. Barry Singer MD, Director of The MS Center for Innovations in Care, interviews: Mary Ann Picone MD, Medical Director, MS Center at Holy Name Medical Center, Teaneck, New Jersey Bruce Hughes MD, Director of the Ruan Multiple Sclerosis Center, MercyOne, Des Moines, Iowa

Fellas, think stress only messes with your workday? Dr. Skip and Dr. Julie Wyss reveal how it's also crashing romantic evenings by tanking women's libido. This week's episode focuses on understanding and increasing female sex drive including the impact of stress on women's libido and contrasting how men and women react differently to stress and its influence on their sexual drive. They emphasize the importance of managing stress through sleep, stress management, and lifestyle changes rather than seeking a direct pharmacological solution. They also explore topics such as the effect of ovulation on women's sexual attractiveness, the relationship between pregnancy and sex drive, and the role of diet and alcohol in influencing libido. Other topics covered in the episode are the importance of communication in relationships, especially expressing needs and managing expectations, improving personal care, chiropractic care in stress management, and self-worth can improve libido. 00:00 Unlocking Female Libido: Stress, Health, and Hormones 00:56 Welcome to the Prime Podcast: Introductions and Outfits 01:54 Diving Deep into Women's Libido and Sex Drive 02:29 The Misconception of Age and Libido 03:53 Stress Management: The Key to Enhancing Female Libido 08:42 The Importance of Communication in Relationships 15:39 Navigating Pregnancy, Diet, and Alcohol's Effects on Libido 26:12 The Power of Self-Work and Confidence 28:06 Effective Communication and Relationship Check-Ins 32:53 Closing Thoughts on Female Sexual Health https://theprimepediatricpodcast.libsyn.com =============================================== Order Standard Process Here: https://primefamilycenters.standardprocess.com ================================= Download our App Here: Apple Play Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/prime-family-chiropractic-app/id6474149243 Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ub378e75245a.app&pcampaignid=web_share ================================= Please like, subscribe, comment, and share this video! //Dr. Julie Wyss  - Prime Family Chiropractic Centers// Dr. Julie Wyss DC is a highly respected chiropractor with a special focus on pediatric and pregnancy care.

All of us live in bodies. But what happens when those bodies change in ways that rob us of critical life experiences? That's the question that so many people face after mastectomy. Abdul reflects on the idea of embodiment and the role that healthcare plays in shaping it.

Antidepressants are notorious for their sexual side effects, including diminished sexual desire and difficulties with arousal and orgasm. It was long thought that these side effects were temporary; however, a growing number of people are reporting persistent sexual difficulties after discontinuing the medication, known as Post-SSRI Sexual Dysfunction (PSSD). In today’s show, we're going to discuss what we know about PSSD, including how common it is, what causes it, and what we can do about it. I am joined by Sue W. Goldstein, an AASECT certified Sexuality Educator and Clinical Research Manager at San Diego Sexual Medicine. Ms. Goldstein co-authored the book When Sex Isn't Good to provide education and empowerment to women with sexual dysfunction. Some of the questions we explore in this episode include: How many people experience sexual side effects from antidepressants? What are the most common symptoms of PSSD? Is PSSD a formal medical diagnosis? Why is PSSD controversial? Are there any gender differences in PSSD? Why might SSRIs can cause long-term sexual dysfunction?

Today we are joined by Lainie Givens, a recent graduate in occupational therapy with a focus on pelvic health. Lainey practices alongside Dr. Susie Gronski, a pelvic floor P.T. in North Carolina. Lainie joins us to shed light on the role of occupational therapy in addressing sexual dysfunction. Occupational therapy is often misunderstood or overlooked when it comes to sexual health. However, its holistic approach to wellness makes it uniquely suited to address the complexities of sexual dysfunction.

In this episode of the Smarter Not Harder Podcast, our guest Dr. Amy Killen joins our host Scott Sher to give one-cent solutions to life's $64,000 questions that include:  What are the potential applications of stem cell therapies in medicine, particularly in relation to aging and sexual health, and how does the FDA's policy impact their utilization? How does ovarian aging impact women's health and longevity, and what are the potential therapies that could slow down egg depletion? How is hormone replacement therapy approached for both men and women, and what are the potential benefits and controversies surrounding the use of bioidentical hormones and testosterone therapy?   Dr. Amy Killen is a leading anti-aging and regenerative physician. After working as a board-certified emergency physician for more than seven years, Dr. Killen saw the effects of unchecked, chronic disease on her patients and decided to transition into anti-aging and longevity medicine in hopes of offering her patients alternatives to the traditional aging paradigm.
