The G Shot: How Is It Transforming Sex Lives?

Everyone these days has heard of the G-spot, and yet many men have never witnessed a G-spot orgasm and women often scoff at the idea of one even existing. If you’re involved with a woman who feels this way about this mystical area of the body, you may both be converted by the concept of the G-shot. Scientists in the USA have found a way to increase a woman’s G-spot with a small injection, making it virtually impossible to miss during sex or foreplay. But how does it work and how much does it cost? The G-shot is a trademarked collagen injection which is intended to increase the size of a woman’s G-spot – it’s being touted as the next big thing. In fact, it’s becoming so popular that women are using their lunch break to drop in on their gynaecologist in America for this nifty treatment. The procedure takes around 30 minutes from start to finish, and will set you back around $1850 for the injection, which only requires local anaesthetic to take place.

Once you’ve had it done, the G-spot is supposed to increase to an amazing inch-wide diameter with a quarter-inch height. That’s pretty large when you consider that G-spots often go completely unnoticed due to their size. The results are immediate and sex is possible within as little as four hours after the procedure. So what are the benefits? The most obvious one is that having the G-spot enlarged to such a size means that it is practically impossible to miss during sex, so the amazing orgasms reported when it’s involved in sexual play are possible to women who have this procedure. Many women report that orgasms reached in conjunction with the G-shot are far better than normal orgasms, particularly where intensity and length of duration are concerned.

The G-shot is also said to increase libido in some women, increasing their sense of sensitivity and even arousal itself. Some women even feel as though the G-shot has revolutionised their sex life, which was considered frustrating beforehand. The results of this procedure last just four months though, so anyone looking to sustain these results would need to keep up with the injections. The man who invented the shot, Dr David Matlock, advertises that the procedure an 87 per cent success rate in terms of women who feel as though the treatment has revolutionised their sex life. His website is keen to state, though, that the G-shot is only intended for women who don’t currently suffer with a sexual dysfunction – it’s only meant as an enhancement rather than a cure for any problems they may have. If you cannot reach orgasms via a normal sexual routine, the G-shot is probably not going to make much difference. The same can be said of women with a low sex drive or a similar condition, as the G-shot is unlikely to increase your sex drive by any significant amount.

The G-shots primary purpose is to make the area large enough that it’s easy to find when you’re having sex with your partner.The testimonials for this treatment almost speak for themselves, but as with any procedure, you should speak to your GP before making any changes, particularly if you’re suffering with some form of sexual dysfunction. If you are, you may find it more beneficial seeking medication for your complaint as this may be more effective in improving your sex life.

4 Surgeries That Could Improve the Quality of Your Life

We all suffer from physical problems that impact our quality of life. Some of these problems are overwhelming, such as chronic pain and broken bones, both which demand immediate treatment. Other problems are smaller and easier to deal with, although they still cause our quality of life to decrease. This article will discuss a few surgeries that will correct small physical problems without a lot of recovery time or pain to make a person’s life better.

 

Laser Eye Surgery

One problem that plagues a great deal of the population is that of having skewed vision. Some people will be able to see perfectly up close and not be able to see at all from far away. Others will be able to see the exact opposite. This problem can be dealt with through the use of corrective lenses, such as glasses or contacts, but still poses and inconvenience to those who have to wear them. A way to fix this problem is to get lasik eye surgery, which is a minimally invasive procedure that has almost no recovery time and will fix a person’s vision so that he or she does not have to wear glasses anymore.

 

Appendectomy

One of the most important minimally invasive surgeries is an appendectomy, which is a procedure that removes the appendix when it becomes damaged or infected. When the appendix is not functioning properly, it will cause a person a great deal of pain. Removing the appendix will make that person’s life much better.

 

Arthroscopy

This minimally invasive procedure can be used on a wide variety of different types of joints, from ankles and wrists to shoulders and knees. It is a procedure that is used to diagnose and repair issues with the cartilage in a person’s joint. The cartilage is one of the parts of the joint that allow it to move smoothly. If it is damaged, then a person’s mobility will be severely limited, but can be restored with an arthroscopy.

 

Cholecystectomy

This is a procedure that removes the gall bladder from a person’s body when it has become infected or inflamed. When this occurs, a person will suffer a great deal of pain, as well as nausea and fever. To resolve these symptoms, a person can have this procedure performed.

 

These minimally invasive procedures are designed to help a person resolve unpleasant symptoms before they get out of hand, without requiring a lot of recovery time. They allow a person to improve his or her life without a lot of difficulty or danger.

Terminating a Pregnancy: Three Different Procedures

Abortion is a serious sexual health concern that requires a lot of discussion. Terminating a pregnancy can have a major impact on your emotional wellness, and so it’s important to be as well-informed as you can before you make the final decision to have an abortion. With that in mind, let’s look at the different types of abortion, and how you might expect your wellbeing to be affected.

 

According to the Sinclair Intimacy Institute, ‘The clinical definition of the term “abortion” is the termination of a pregnancy, and it is an extremely common event that can occur naturally in a woman’s body before she even realises she is pregnant. Induced abortion, however, is the term to describe intentional abortion procedures. There are several different types of abortion procedures, including non-professional abortion procedures that the pregnant woman or some sother unlicensed professional attempts in order to end the pregnancy. Medical abortion can be done using established medical procedures by a trained medical practitioner, by the use of hormone combinations, or by taking a drug called RU-486.’

 

There are three types of medical abortion:

 

1. The Cannula: This is by far the most common abortion procedure. The Sinclair Intimacy Institute explain that this ‘involves insertion of a cannula through a woman’s cervix and removing the foetus and placenta using vacuum aspiration. This procedure generally is used in the first trimester (i.e., the first three months after conception) and accounts for about 90% of all medical abortions. In this procedure, which takes about 5 to 10 minutes and can be performed in a physician’s office, the woman lies on an examining table with her feet in stirrups. A local anaesthetic is administered to numb the woman’s cervix. In some cases, a general anaesthetic may be used to induce sleep, but this is usually not necessary…To insure that the abortion is complete, the physician may insert a spoon-like instrument, called a curette, and checks the walls of the uterus.’

 

2. Cannula and Forceps: About 10% of abortions are performed after the 12th week of pregnancy, which is where this procedure comes in. It’s quite similar to the procedure described above, but includes the use of forceps. This is because, after the 12^th week, the foetus is larger and more firmly attached to the uterine wall, and so needs more than suction in order to be removed. The Sinclair Intimacy Institute notes, ‘The procedure takes up to 30 minutes and may involve the administration of pain medication to the woman.’

 

3. Chemically Induced Abortion: This occurs past the twenty-second week of development, and involves chemically inducing labour so that the foetus is expelled through your vaginal opening. The Sinclair Intimacy Institute details, ‘This procedure is generally performed in a hospital. A needle is inserted through the abdominal wall into the uterus and a labour-inducing medication (such as prostaglandin, urea, or saline solution or some combination of these) is injected. Within a few hours, the woman begins labour and the foetus is expelled.’

 

However, regardless of the method you choose, you should make sure that you are checked for blood pressure and heart rate. Women who have undergone an abortion should also be monitored to insure that bleeding and discomfort are limited. After your abortion, your doctor may arrange one or more follow-up appointments for several weeks later to ensure that the procedure has been successful and that you are healthy and coping well. The Sinclair Intimacy Institute adds, ‘In abortions performed before the 13th week of pregnancy, some follow-up surgery, for example, to remove a blood clot or to repair a tear in the cervix, is needed in only 0.5% of cases.’

Change of Heart: How Easy is it to Reverse a Vasectomy?

Women have a vast choice of birth control, with everything from pills to patches readily available to protect female sexual health and wellness. For the guys, however, the vasectomy is the closest thing modern medicine has come to an effective birth control option – condoms aside. When you have a vasectomy, it’s like a woman getting a lifetime supply of birth control pills – without putting her wellbeing at risk to side effects – or having her tubes tied, which is a much more complicated procedure than a vasectomy. The procedure is simple but somewhat permanent – unless, of course, you choose to have it reversed.

 

When you have a vasectomy, your surgeons will cut the vas deferens, which are the two tubes that transport sperm from your testicles to your penis. Two quick slices mean you’re sperm-free and in permanent safety from unwanted pregnancies. However, nothing is ever really permanent in this world, including some men’s resolve to not have children. Some men do opt to reverse their vasectomies, which is accomplished through a procedure known as a vasovasostomy. This is nothing new; vasovasostomies have been around for more than 100 years, with the first successful operation reported in 1919. These days, the procedure is ten-a-penny, with 30,000 previosuly-snipped men in the US having one every year.

 

The reasons to reverse your vasectomy will vary depending on the man, but often a remarriage, improvement in financial situation or death of a child is involved. On very rare occasions, a doctor might perform a vasovasostomy if complications of a vasectomy have left you in a lot of pain. Regardless of your reasons, reversal is definitely a tempting option, but it’s important to note that a vasovasostomy isn’t just a fall-back option for whenever you change your mind. The reversal procedure is not always successful, as your body may have ceased to recognise its own sperm and, as a result, developed antibodies to it. This drastically lowers your chances of impregnating your partner, even if you have a vasovasostomy.

 

One factor involved in the effectiveness of your vasovasostomy will be how long you wait to change your mind. Even if your doctor does manage to successfully reverse your procedure, your odds of getting your partner pregnant will still be lower than they were before you originally had the snip, and the time it takes for you to have a vasovasostomy will have an impact on these odds. If you choose to have a vasovasostomy three years after you originally had a vasectomy, for example, there’s a 97% chance that your doctor will be able to successfully reopen your vas deferens, but the likelihood of you impregnating your partner will stand at 76% – and this is the best-case scenario. The longer you wait to have your vasectomy reversed, the less of a chance that the vasovasostomy will work. If you were to wait 15 years, your chance of rebuilding your vas deferens will be 71% and of actually getting your partner pregnant will be a mere 30%.

 

You won’t be surprised to hear that “uncutting” your vas deferens is not as simple or straightforward as cutting it was. The average vasectomy takes about 20 minutes to complete, but a reversal of the procedure can take anywhere from two to four hours. While you don’t need an overnight stay in hospital for either procedure, with a vasovasostomy you should take the entire day off and expect to be in the hospital for at least six hours. Recovery then takes approximately a month, with you going back to work within three to seven days but refraining from sex for the full month.

Unwanted Pregnancy? Find Out the Options Available to You

More often than not, pregnancy is presented as this wonderful time in which you’re glowing and excited for motherhood. For many women, this happens to be the case. However, finding out that you are pregnant may give rise to very different feelings for different people. You may be happy and excited about it, or scared and uncertain as to what to do. The important thing to remember is that all of these feelings are normal. The decisions you now have to make take an understandable toll on your emotional wellness. If you are pregnant, you have four choices to consider. You can keep the pregnancy and have the baby – which we’ll visit a bit more later on – you can keep the pregnancy and give the baby up for adoption, you can keep the pregnancy and give the baby into foster care or you can have an abortion.

 

With regards to this latter option, it’s important to know that you’re not alone. By the time they are 45 years old, one in three women in the UK will have an abortion. If it’s not possible for you to have the baby, you can contact your GP or sexual health clinic. All of your treatment will be completely free and confidential, even if you are under 16. While it’s legal to have an abortion at any time before you reach week 24 of your pregnancy, it’s far better for your wellbeing if you contact the services as early as possible, as this means you’ll have more options. If you do decide to have an abortion, you may need to attend more than one appointment at the clinic, although, in most cases, the abortion itself will be carried out as a day procedure. An initial appointment will give you the opportunity to talk through the procedure and your choices. The procedure may then be carried out on a different day.

 

Depending on how far along you are, you will have either a medical or a surgical abortion. Early on in a pregnancy – up to nine weeks – you can have a medical abortion in which you take two sets of pills over two visits (24 or 48 hours apart). You take the tablets orally on your first visit, and then internally on your second visit, and this causes the pregnancy to pass out of your body. With this kind of abortion, it’s common to experience discomfort, very strong cramps and heavy bleeding, which normally lasts for approximately three to five hours until the pregnancy has passed. However, it’s more common to have a surgical abortion, in which gentle suction is used to empty the uterus. The procedure, which only lasts for five to 10 minutes, can be done under either local anaesthetic or general anaesthetic. Regardless of the method of abortion you use, it’s vital that you talk to someone at the clinic about your contraceptive choices afterwards. Most types of contraception can be started immediately after you have had the procedure.

 

However, if you decide to continue your pregnancy, you need to look after your wellbeing – and your baby’s – as soon as possible. This means you need to visit your GP as soon as possible to begin your antenatal care (which is a term used for care leading up to the birth of the baby). Your doctor will arrange all the scans and midwife appointments you need, as well as giving you plenty of information about how to care for yourself and your growing baby during pregnancy. This will include avoiding drugs and alcohol, avoiding smoking and cigarette smoking, healthy eating, regular exercise and taking folic acid during the first twelve weeks of pregnancy.

Vasectomy: A Guide to the Procedure

A vasectomy is considered to be a permanent form of contraception which can stop you from getting your partner pregnant – however, one in 2,000 men will still impregnate their partner after a vasectomy procedure. It also doesn’t protect against sexually transmitted infections, meaning that if you’re sleeping with a new partner, you will still need to use protection. A common myth, a vasectomy doesn’t affect your sex drive or your ability to enjoy sex – you’ll still be able to get erections and the same amount of semen will still be produced when you ejaculate. The only difference is that the semen produced after a vasectomy won’t contain sperm. This procedure is permanent, so it’s vital that you’re sure that you don’t want children before you go ahead with this procedure. Some men regret their decision after having a vasectomy, though this is more common in men who are under 30 and have no children. There is a process known as a vasectomy reversal, but this doesn’t guarantee that your fertility will be restored. There are alternatives to a vasectomy, such as long-term hormonal and non-hormonal contraceptives for women. Both female and male condoms are also available, which also protect against STIs.

 

Your doctor will talk you through the operation, and the various ways in which you can prepare for it. For example, you will need to stop smoking as this increases your risk of getting a wound infection, which can slow your recovery time down. There are several places this operation can be carried out, such as in a hospital, a GP practice or at a private clinic. They are usually carried out under local anaesthesia, which blocks the pain in your groin area but means you can stay awake during the operation. The operation doesn’t take very long, usually being completed in about 15 minutes. Once the anaesthetic has taken effect and been given time to work, your doctor will attempt to find the vas deferens – they may use a forceps-like instrument to create a small opening in the skin above this area, or make two cuts in you scrotum. They will then pull out a section of each vas deferens and cut each tube, which are then closed off by heating the tissues so that they seal shut, or by tying them. Your doctor will put the tubes back in your scrotum and close up the opening with either dissolvable stitches or adhesive strips.

 

The recovery period from this procedure takes about a week, but it varies between each man so it’s vital that you follow your doctor’s advice to aid recovery as best you can. Over-the-counter painkillers, such as paracetamol or ibuprofen, can be effective if you need pain relief, but always read the information provided with them to ensure they’re safe. It’s advised that you wear close-fitting and supportive underwear during the day and night, for the first week which will help to support your scrotum while it heals, and ease the swelling and discomfort. You should also avoid any heavy lifting or vigorous exercise – you can have a shower, but it’s important that you dry the area carefully to avoid pulling at the wound while it heals. After the operation, some sperm does remain in the vas deferens but this varies for each man as to how long it stays there for. A few months after your operation, you’ll be asked to provide a sperm sample to test whether the procedure was effective and to see if the semen is clear of sperm. With regards to having sex after your operation, this can be whenever you feel comfortable, but you should use contraception until you have been advised that you are no longer fertile.

Could a New Procedure Offer Hope to Asthma Sufferers?

Around 30 million people in the United States of America suffer from asthma. This is a debilitating respiratory condition which can cause wheezing, shortness of breath, swelling and, in severe cases, it can lead to premature death. Those who suffer from asthma find that it affects their wellbeing on a daily basis at times, and, as well as these unpleasant physical symptoms, the effect of living with such a condition can also have a negative effect on mental wellness, too.

That’s why many asthma sufferers will be intrigued to learn that a new procedure is being offered in some parts of the USA. Whilst many people can control their asthma to varying degrees through medication, in the most severe cases, the condition can be difficult to control with medication alone.

The new procedure is called bronchial thermoplasty and is now on offer at the University of Minnesota Medical Centre, amongst other places.

Thirty million people in the United States have asthma, but in some cases it is so severe that it can be difficult to control with medications. A trained Pulmonologist performs the procedure, which requires the use of a device that has been made by Boston Scientific.

This is a bronchoscope which is passed through the airways of the patient in order to apply heat to their airways. This then shrinks the muscles around the internal airways, as they are heated to 150 degrees for 10 seconds each time. By shrinking the muscles, the procedure opens up the airways, allowing more room for easier breathing.

The process involves a series of treatments – three in total. These are spaced out with three weeks between each treatment. Each part of the treatment targets a different area inside the lungs.

Not everyone with asthma is entitled to this new treatment – only those who have severe asthma that is not controlled and is affecting their quality of life will be eligible.

How Does An X-ray Work and What are they Used for?

X-rays don’t hurt and are a quick way of diagnosing and monitoring various health conditions. These procedures are carried out by radiographers, who are health professionals trained to carry out these imaging techniques. Generally, an x-ray is performed so that medical professionals can look at the skeletal structure, such as fractures or breaks in bones after an injury. However, many people don’t realise that they can also be used to look at the health of your organs as well. For example, an x-ray of your chest can show whether there is any infection in your lungs. They work as a form of radiation, however unlike light radiation which is absorbed or reflected by your skin, x-ray radiation passes through the body – the x-ray machine works by projecting a beam of rays through the part of your body being examined and this is then captured in the form of a black and white image. This image is known as a radiograph. The structures inside the body which are dense absorb the x-rays and show up as white – for example, your bone structure. Less dense materials, such as air in the lungs, will pass through almost completely and show up as black on the image. The various aspects of your body alter in density, so the radiograph will show various parts in shades of grey.

 

It depends which area of your body is being looked at, but a different type of imaging procedure may be recommended as more appropriate than an x-ray. For example, you may need an ultrasound scan, a CT scan or an MRI scan. Your doctor will advise which is needed. The x-ray procedure is generally done as an out-patient procedure in the radiology department at hospitals. Your radiographer will discuss the process with you beforehand, so that you know what to expect. If you have any questions about what will happen during the procedure, this is an ideal time to ask so that your radiographer can talk you through any concerns you have. They don’t usually take longer than a few minutes to carry out, and depending on the area being examined, you may be asked to remove your clothing and jewellery, and wear a hospital gown instead. Once the procedure has been carried out, a report will be sent to your doctor outlining any problems – this can take a few days.

 

There are, of course, some risks attached to an x-ray, as with any procedure. The benefits of this imaging technique usually outweigh the risks by a long way, though. Due to the nature of the process, you will be exposed to some x-ray radiation, but the amount isn’t considered harmful and you will only be exposed to it for a few minutes. However, this varies depending on the type of x-ray you’re having – for example, a chest x-ray will expose you to a very small amount of radiation, which is no more than you would be exposed to naturally over the course of about two to three days. But there are other tests for various ailments which leave you exposed to more, such as a barium enema or a barium swallow and meal, which involve having many images taken. Your radiographer is trained to limit the amount of radiation you’re exposed to to a minimum though, so there should be little cause for concern. This situation varies slightly for pregnant women though, as the risk to unborn babies is slightly higher. Unless there is an urgent medical reason, x-rays are rarely carried out on pregnant women – there will be a lead shield to protect your abdomen to help protect your baby if you do need to have an x-ray. If you think you might be pregnant, it’s important to tell your doctor before your appointment – they will then advise if it is safe for you to go ahead with the procedure.

The Patch Diet: The Most Painful Weight Loss Tool?

In a new bid to lose weight, dieters are opting to have a plastic patch sewn onto their tongue which makes eating solid food so painful that they’re forced to resort to a liquid diet. Launched in 2009 by plastic surgeon Nikolas Chugay, this procedure can help you to lose up to 30lbs in just one month, but not without its own set of side effects. The surgeon has warned that patients may find that their tongue swells after the procedure, and they may experience difficulty with speech after getting the patch fitted. The patch can only be worn for a maximum of a month, as the tissues in the tongue begin to grow over the patch if left for longer than this time. During this time, though, you can follow a liquid diet which enables you to limit your calorie intake to just 800 each day and supposedly still fulfills your nutritional needs.

The patch is the size of a postage stamp and is made from a plastic called marlex which is commonly used to repair hernias. The procedure currently costs $2,000 at the Los Angeles clinic, and has been performed on over 60 women since it’s launch in 2009. However, in Venezuela you can get the patch for just $150 – the clinic here has seen more than 900 clients a month opting for this drastic measure in a bid to shift the pounds. Many women feel that without willpower they are unable to lose weight effectively – this weight loss tool forces them to lose weight and offers results quickly. The painful effects of the patch though make it an extreme form diet trick, with some patients reporting that they find it difficult to move their tongue at all after the procedure. If you’re considering such a procedure, it is advised that you seek medical advice from your GP beforehand in order to ensure it is safe for your health.

Can Hypnotherapy Provide Answer To Serious Weight Loss?

Losing weight is all about eating less and moving more. But while we all accept that weight really is that simple, the mental effects of weight gain and diet are also hugely important. For some, that means challenging their mind as well as their body to achieve weight reduction in the form of hypnotherapy.

Hypnotherapy uses hypnosis to place an individual in a mental state in which they are open to instructions and suggestions. The technique is often used to cure phobias, to help people stop smoking and for weight loss.

A new hypnotherapy treatment, pioneered in Europe, uses hypnosis and cognitive behavioural therapy to convince the individual that he or she has had a gastric band fitted. Gastric band surgery is one of the more drastic measures taken for weight loss where a band is fitted around the stomach to limit how much the person can eat.

Hypno-Band claims to be a virtual version of gastric surgery with the same effects – without an individual having to undergo the surgery. And with more than 800 hypnotherapists offering the procedure, there is a growing number of patients using the technique to aid their weight loss.

The one-off fee, which costs a fraction of gastric band surgery, includes four hypnotherapy sessions, instructional CDs and information that allows the patient to maintain their treatment away from the therapist.

The technique’s success, however, depends very much on the patient who must be easily hypnotised and suggestible in that hypnotic state so they can take on board the instructions and change their behaviour around food. The Hypno-Band therapy addresses the psychological and emotional reasons for why a patient is obese or overweight, then offers a path to losing weight.
