Ken's NSFW Alphabet

Reader: gender neutral

/NSFW Ken x Reader/

A/N: You know what? I ALWAYS wanted to make one of these... I literally have no excuse for it I just need him carnally ok pls don't judge me NSFW Alphabet originally found here.

Warnings: this Ken has genitals lol, top!Ken, lots of sex talk, no images just text, very explicit!

—

A = Aftercare (What they’re like after sex)

I think Ken would be a very caring lover, making sure you had everything you needed and that includes aftercare! He would draw a trail of kisses down your body to your legs, massaging them while asking if you're ok, then would take you in his arms and keep you there for all the time you needed. Ken would even clean you up if necessary, joining you in a nice shower, combing your hair... Yeah, he's the KING of aftercare!

B = Body part (Their favorite body part of theirs and also their partner’s)

I think Ken really like his arms, they're amazing to show off his muscles and strength and even better for carrying you around!

And his favorite part about you is definitely your beautiful face! But most especially, your lips. Ken loves when you kiss him all over his body, it never fails to make him shiver.

C = Cum (Anything to do with cum basically...)

Well, because he's a doll, I don't believe there would be a risk of diseases or pregnancy (particularly if you live in Barbieland/are a doll as well) so… yeah he would cum inside you pretty much every time. The feeling of you around him while he cums is intoxicating enough, but he would make exceptions for when you asked him to cum over your face… that vision was also fantastic.

D = Dirty Secret (Pretty self-explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs)

Ken has a very big fantasy of fucking you while he wears his mink, or seeing you suck him off while he wears it… anyway, he wants to wear the mink!! But he feels a little silly about it…

E = Experience (How experienced are they? Do they know what they’re doing?)

Before you, I don't think he had any experience, really. He knew about sex from the media he consumed (he even read a few books on it, out of curiosity) but sex was not really a priority especially in Barbieland. That is until he visited the Real World and you showed up...

F = Favourite Position (This goes without saying.)

Cowgirl/boy. Ken loves to have you on top, seeing you bounce on top of him while he grabs your waist is SUCH a turn-on. And that way you also could control the pace... yeah, he adores it.

G = Goofy (Are they more serious in the moment, or are they humorous, etc)

It depends... are you making love after a whole day spent together? Yeah, he could be goofy, wanting to see you laugh at every opportunity he can. But are you fucking after spending the day apart, needy and desperate? No time for joking around.

H = Hair (How well groomed are they, does the carpet match the drapes, etc.)

He's a doll so I'm pretty sure he's just shaved down there... nothing really to be worried about!

I = Intimacy (How are they during the moment, romantic aspect...)

Ken is so needy... so needy he would embrace you during the whole thing if he could. He's the type of guy who says "I love you" during sex, and he's ok with it! As long as you say it back... and you always say it back.

J = Jack Off (Masturbation headcanon)

Masturbating was not really a thing dolls did, but he would do it occasionally out of curiosity. And after you came around, he couldn't help himself a few times... humping a pillow before sleep and dreaming about your body. Yeah, he masturbated quite a lot then, thinking about you.

K = Kink (One or more of their kinks)

PRAISE KINK this one's obvious… the guy could nut only from being praised if you took the time to do it. If you praise him during sex while looking him in the eyes, oh… his cock immediately twitches in anticipation. It's adorable, actually.

L = Location (Favourite places to do the do)

Because he's very jealous and protective of you, he only does it inside of your house (or his mojo dojo casa house) somewhere no one can see you, so yeah… not very adventurous in that aspect.

M = Motivation (What turns them on, gets them going)

Besides the praise, just... being your boyfriend. Matching clothes with you, holding your hand... kissing you immediately turns him on, and being called names like "baby", "love", "blondie" makes him go wild. He just loves the attention and of course, loves when you're turned on as well.

N = NO (Something they wouldn’t do, turn-offs)

I don't think Ken would enjoy rougher sex... don't get me wrong, he can definitely pick up a fast pace from time to time, but... ROUGH as in, slapping you, calling you names... nuh-uh, he don't likey. He hates the possibility of hurting you in any way.

O = Oral (Preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc)

Ken honestly doesn't have a preference. He loooves eating you out/sucking you off and the praise that comes with it, making sure you finish so he can taste you. But oh, there's something just as endearing in the wet sounds you make while sucking him, the feeling of your lips tightly around his dick... oof! He loves both ways!

P = Pace (Are they fast and rough? Slow and sensual? etc.)

At the very first time you had sex I think Ken would be slow and not really in rhythm, so overwhelmed by the sensation of being with you… So you'd have to take control and guide him. He would eventually get the hang of it, and the more confident he became, the faster he went. So yeah, when he's feeling sentimental he goes slow, taking his time with you. But if he's feeling confident, he likes to show off and fuck you raw.

Q = Quickie (Their opinions on quickies rather than proper sex, how often, etc.)

He's pretty neutral about quickies, I mean... Ken likes taking his sweet time with you, but if you're both feeling naughty and there's not really much time, he would definitely go for it!

R = Risk (Are they game to experiment, do they take risks, etc.)

Hmm, I would say he's not really into taking risks. Ken probably waits for you to suggest something before he suggests it himself. He doesn't want to scare you off or anything like that.

S = Stamina (How many rounds can they go for, how long do they last...)

Baby, he's a DOLL... He can go as many times as you desire! LOL But oh, on the first few times you had sex, he didn't last very long... he was too overwhelmed but soon he felt better! Now he lasts a reaaally long time.

T = Toy (Do they own toys? Do they use them? On a partner or themselves?)

Not sure if there are sex toys in Barbieland, but if yes, sure! He would definitely have a vibrator to use on you. Anything that helps you cum is a treasured tool for him, because getting you to cum is his top priority during sex!

U = Unfair (how much they like to tease)

Besides lasting for an absurd amount of time, he loooves to tease as well. Kissing and softly biting on your skin before slowly going down on you, looking up at you with puppy eyes while humming and moving his tongue around your sex... yeah, he's a tease.

V = Volume (How loud they are, what sounds they make)

Fuck, Ken's loud. He learned to tone it down a bit by muffling his sounds with his hand, but he continues to be a loud moaner. He whines and groans a lot, too... calling your name while being super vocal. "Oh, my... yes. Yes, (Y/N). Please don't stop, ah..."

W = Wild Card (Get a random headcanon for the character of your choice)

Ken still gets emotional every time you make love, holding your face while kissing you deeply, your bodies moving in tandem feeling so good he could cry. He probably did cry the first time, but now he holds back trying to not seem too sappy.

X = X-Ray (Let’s see what’s going on in those pants.)

I MEAN... hear me out. I think he's pretty damn hot, like... maybe around 7 inches? And like, girthy as well LOL He's a dooooll he has to have a pretty perfect dick, right??? (don't look at me)

Y = Yearning (How high is their sex drive?)

Again, not really high before you came around. Now he thinks about sex all the time, looking for excuses to be alone with you and get his hands all over your body. 

Z = ZZZ (… how quickly they fall asleep afterwards)

Ken would make sure you were fine (and had finished), do some aftercare if needed and then he would fall asleep rather quickly, rolling over into a little spoon so you could hold him. In your arms, he feels safe and sound.

My friend in college. He was sexually active and he did receive this but didn't transmit it. And each time he got it, he knew and got it. Taken care of immediately. Yes, antibiotics take care of it quickly. So this disease is contracted by women easily and transmitted by women...

Anyone who is sexually active can get chlamydia, a sexually transmitted bacterial infection (STI), but it's more common in women than men. In the United States, women are estimated to have twice the infection rate of men. Some risk factors for infection include: 

Not consistently using barrier methods like condoms with new sexual partners 

Having a sexual partner who is having sex with other people 

Having a history of chlamydia or other STIs 

Being a young sexually active woman, especially between the ages of 15 and 24 

Being a man who has oral or anal sex with men 

Chlamydia - NHS

It can also be passed by a pregnant woman to her baby. Chlamydia cannot be passed on through casual contact, such as kissing and hugging, or from sharing baths,

And you don't think they need to stop with the bisexuality and lesbianism in the adult entertainment, and this is where I said, if they do it at all, it can be deep fakes. But I don't want to encourage it in the outside environment.... Cause then people really get sick. So we have to figure out a way of discouraging this, and like I said, look at all these diseases that are more common sexually transmit it that are more common amongst a lesbian and bisexual women then heterosexual women!!!! And you keep on telling me that this is a good thing, lesbians and bisexuals and homosexuals and transgender!!!! How is this possible? It being a good thing when it causes unbelievable problems physically and mentally. Besides causing the unborn child, all kinds of diseases that it contracts in the womb and causes still birth and birth defects, and then you have to address those issues after birth, if they survive!!!!

In addition, when women, including asymptomatic women, have been tested for STDs, lesbian and bisexual women have had a higher prevalence of bacterial vaginosis, hepatitis B and C, gonorrhea, genital herpes and chlamydia than heterosexual women.Dec 8, 2008

STDs Among Sexually Active Female College Students

You think all universities should require mandatory? Annual physicals and part of those physicals should be testing for sexually transmitted diseases.... C d c says that women under twenty five should be checked for sexually transmitted diseases.Regularly...

"The CDC recommends that all sexually active women under 25 get routine annual screening for STIs."

Yes, lesbians and bisexual women have higher rates of chlamydia than heterosexual women. According to a 2008 study, sexually active female college students who identify as lesbian or bisexual have a higher prevalence of chlamydia than heterosexual women, even if they don't have symptoms. A 1990s survey of lesbian and bisexual women found that 102 respondents reported contracting chlamydia from a female partner. 





Lesbian and bisexual women are vulnerable to sexually transmitted infections (STIs) like chlamydia because of skin-to-skin and mouth-to-genital contact, sharing sex toys, and exchanging vaginal fluids or menstrual blood. Other risk factors for STIs among women who have sex with women (WSW) include: 







Gonorrhea 



Trichomoniasis 



Syphilis 



Hepatitis A and HIV 



Smoking 



High alcohol intake 



Injecting nonprescribed drugs 



The CDC recommends that all sexually active women under 25 get routine annual screening for STIs.

HIV and HERPES: A Brief Overview

HIV:

The human body's immune system is a target of the human immunodeficiency virus. Two species of Lentivirus (a subtype of retrovirus) infect people and are known as Human Immunodeficiency Viruses (HIV). Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) is a disorder in which the immune system gradually fails, developing potentially fatal opportunistic infections and malignancies.

HIV is often spread through sexual contact or the sharing of bodily fluids such as blood, pre-ejaculate, sperm, and genital secretions. Helper T cells (especially CD4+ T cells), macrophages, and dendritic cells are all infected by HIV. Multiple mechanisms contribute to the depletion of CD4+ T cells in an HIV infection, such as pyro ptosis of abortively infected T cells, apoptosis of uninfected bystander cells, the direct viral killing of infected cells, and killing of infected CD4+ T cells by CD8+ cytotoxic lymphocytes that recognize infected cells. Cell-mediated immunity is lost when CD4+ T cell levels drop below a key threshold, making the body increasingly vulnerable to opportunistic infections and, eventually, AIDS.

Herpes:

Infection with the herpes simplex virus may be traced back to the herpes simplex virus. It manifests in various ways, including developing blisters or sores in and around the mouth or genitalia. Blisters appear on or around the lips and mouth due to oral herpes, also known as fever or cold sores. Sores caused by genital herpes most commonly appear on the penis, buttocks, anus, and vagina. However, they can appear elsewhere on the body. Herpes can also alter vaginal discharge and produce discomfort during urination. The herpes simplex virus is contagious and can be transmitted through physical contact. After the first infection, the virus spreads to the nerve cells beneath the skin, which multiplies and causes serious illness.

The Cure: An Ayurvedic Approach

Many participants in our clinical trials have reported improved health since using Bhagwati Cons top. HIV infection can be treated with this medication. The findings of the standard RNA-PCR test have been used to confirm the treatment's efficacy in all of our patients. To keep up with the latest results, patients have undergone “Herpes Simplex Virus Antibodies Tests" at Bhagwati Cons top to monitor the virus's progress against the clinic. In addition, the company's focus on R&D for novel medications that might be useful in treating other diseases remains unabated. There have been several points and events where the organization's work has been acknowledged. Several industry awards have been bestowed upon the company. The best price for Medicine for Herpes Simplex Virus can be found at Bhagwati Ayurved.

Sexual health

As a part of the vulnerable population, homeless women are exposed to challenges around the integrity of their bodies and health (Barbosa, N. G., 2022). Sex/intercourse is a natural part of most living things life whether it be for the purposes of reproducing or pleasure. People experiencing homelessness share the same desires but this can get particularly dangerous if safe sex practices are not maintained. Young adults of the homeless population tend to engage in sexual activies earlier in life, have multiple partners, and have unprotected sex due to many reasons (Adedze, M., 2022). This opens up numerous opportunities for them to be at risk of contracting sexually transmitted infections (STIs). In fact, homeless people have an increased risk of contracting STIs (Stockwell, S., 2015). These bodily infections can be very harmful, especially to women. Bacterial infections such as gonorrhea and syphilis can increase the risk of acquiring HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) which is a virus that attacks the body's immune system. In the homeless population, HIV is a major cause of morbidity & mortality (Marshall, B. D., 2016). HPV (human papillomavirus) can cause genital warts and/or cervical cancer (CDC). Some more examples include genital herpes, chlamydia, bacterial vaginosis, and hepatitis. For a population whose priorities do not include visiting the doctor's office to receive routine check-ups and medications, contracting such STIs can lead them to live very uncomfortable/painful lives while the infection causes detrimental harm to their bodies. For example, lots of STIs can also lead to infertility later in life as well (CDC). While sex may be a voluntary and pleasurable act for many, a lot of the times, living on the streets can push people to trade sex for shelter or survival (Adedze, M., 2022). This unfortunate scenario can result in individuals having to live with a physical illness for the rest of their lives.  Attached below is an infographic from the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) which shows the rates of chlamydia, gonorrhea & syphilis infections in Canada.

I. Sexuality

A. Overview of the Adolescent/Teenage Sexual Reproductive Health in the Philippines

It is normal for many teens or adolescents in the Philippines nowadays to indulge in premarital sex and it is often the cause of such consequences that led to miserable life. As for our lesson on this topic, it is really saddening because the statistics shown in the PowerPoint presentation back in 2013 showed that premarital sex were common in young males and childbirth age is low for females and maternal mortality is also common. Also, only 79% are contraceptives which are alarming. Philippines right now becomes the home in Asia for having a lot of population and I find it very frustrating because many of the pregnant women are young, and you can really see that they are not ready to have a child in life. It is not just for the sake of the population, but HIV/AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases are infecting people and the range of age is getting lower and lower.

B. Circles of Human Sexuality

1. Sensuality

·         Body Image – I am sort of insecure about my body image because of the fact that I’m skinny. People often think that I don’t really eat that much, but after all, I am trying my very best to be contented and confident about my own body no matter what they say.

·         Human Sexual Response Cycle – I don’t know what to say about this since I don’t have experience regarding sex, but the human sexual response cycle has 4 phases and is experienced by both men and women. Of course, it is a normal cycle that happens during sex.

·         Skin Hunger – I am also insecure about my own skin because back when I was a kid, I was bullied by my relatives because of how dark my skin was. I really wanted a pale skin back then. But now, I am contented of what God has given me.

·         Fantasy – fantasizing is good but sometimes it can be distracting. It also serves a specific purpose, whether it is about your goals or can be sexual.

2. Intimacy

·         Caring – It is someone who displays kindness and concern to others. I care about others especially to my loved ones.

·         Sharing – They said “sharing is caring”. I don’t know but there is a joy in my heart when I share some things that I have to others even if it’s small, as long as they are happy with it.

·         Loving/Taking – Love conquers all. Taking is also a form of love. When you love, you feel a pleasure that comes from it, with no sense of burden, but a pure joy. Take a chance in love; you should risk it all for love.

·         Risk Taking – Willing to take risky challenges in order to have a desired result. It’s either you will win or lose.

·         Vulnerability – Vulnerable is the key to intimacy helps us ask for what we want to avoid distancing ourselves from our partners and allows building a trust and opening our heart.

3. Sexual Identity

·         Bias – There are times where I am biased towards sexual identity of a person but now, I have learned to avoid it. Being bias about sexual identity still exists in many forms.

·         Gender Identity – So far, since when I was young kid, I know what my gender is.

·         Gender Role – Each gender has different roles, according to what they have learned and how society tells them to be. I am a female and there are roles and behaviors that I learned that is appropriate to my gender.

·         Sexual Orientation – Sexual orientation is important to become oriented of what individuals are attracted to. Me, personally, I am very oriented about what I am attracted to, and of course, it is my opposite sex. I am never attracted to my same sex.

4. Sexual Health and Reproduction

·         Factual Information – Gaining factual information is really important especially regarding sexual health and reproduction because there are myths that most people actually believed on it and should be debunked.

·         Feelings & Attitudes – Improving the awareness and practices related to sexual and reproductive health of adolescents and young people is required to improve health outcomes.

·         Intercourse – I don’t have an experience regarding this matter since it is not appropriate for my status and my age.

·         Physiology and Anatomy of Reproductive Organs – Both are significant for maintaining homeostatis for survival of the individual, and also maintaining reproduction.

·         Sexual Reproductive – It is a complete state of physical, mental, and social well-being in all matter in the context of reproductive system.

5. Sexualization

·         Rape – It is a sexual assault that typically involves sexual intercourse or other types of sexual penetration committed without the consent of individual. Both men and women of any age can be raped.

·         Incest – It is really gross because you are having sex between family members. I hope this thing will be vanished.

·         Sexual Harassment – Any person, it can be women, men, and other genders can be a victim of sexual harassment.

·         Withholding Sex – There are several reasons why withholding sex are happening between couples. Based from what I have researched, this is common in women. Some reasons are maybe because they are traumatized or they might suffer from sexual dysfunction.

·         Seduction-Flirting - Flirting maybe easy to achieve for some people, but seducing is another level of attracting someone. These can cause to break some people lives if used in an unlawful manner.

II. My Feelings and Attitudes about Sexuality, Values Clarification, and my own Sexual Orientation, Gender Identity and Expression

A. Feelings and Attitudes about sexuality

- As defined, sexuality is about your sexual feelings, thoughts, attractions and behaviors towards other people. Since I am a girl, I do attract to opposite gender and I’m not attracted to the same one.

B. Values Clarification

In gender equality, I believe that men and women, even the homosexuals have equal rights and has the right to express one’s freedom.

C. My Own Sexual Orientation

Since I am a girl, I am attracted to the opposite gender. At my age, based on my experience, I am romantically in love with a guy. I admit, at my age this time, I am also curious of what having sex be like with the opposite gender.

D. Gender Identity

I was born a girl and yet to be a woman.

E. Gender Expression

Since I am a girl, I dressed like a girl. I wear fashion girl wear that fits to me and I would rather say, a dress that will make me look like a girl and identifies me a s a girl.

III. Safe Sex

FEMALE CONDOM

At a glance: facts about the female condom

If used correctly, female     condoms are 95% effective.

They protect against pregnancy     and sexually     transmitted infections (STIs).

A female condom needs to be     placed inside the vagina before there's any contact with the penis.

Always buy condoms that have     the CE mark or the BSI Kitemark on the packet. This means they have been     tested to high safety standards.

A female condom can get pushed     inside the vagina during sex, but it's easy to remove them yourself if     this happens.

Female condoms may not be     suitable for women who are not comfortable touching their genital area.

Female condoms should not be     reused. Open a new one each time you have sex.

How female condoms work

Female condoms are a barrier method of contraception worn inside the vagina. They prevent pregnancy by stopping sperm meeting an egg.

A female condom can be put into the vagina before sex, but make sure the penis does not come into contact with the vagina before the condom has been put in.

Semen can still come out of the penis even before a man has had an orgasm (fully ejaculated).

When used correctly, condoms are the only method of contraception that protects against both pregnancy and STIs.

How to use a female condom

Open the packet and remove the     female condom, taking care not to tear it. Do not open the packet with     your teeth.

Squeeze the smaller ring at the     closed end of the condom and put it into the vagina.

Make sure the large ring at the     open end of the condom covers the area around the opening of the vagina.

Make sure the penis goes in the     female condom, not between the condom and the side of the vagina.

After sex, remove the female     condom immediately by gently pulling it out. You can twist the large ring     to prevent semen leaking out.

Throw away the condom in a bin,     not the toilet.

Using lubricant

Female condoms come pre-lubricated to make them easier to use, but you may also like to use additional lube.

Check the packet to find out which lubricants are suitable.

Who can use female condoms?

Most people can safely use female condoms. You can also use them immediately after having a baby, miscarriage or abortion.

But they may not be suitable for women who do not feel comfortable touching their genital area.

Advantages and disadvantages of female condoms

Advantages:

Female condoms help to protect     both partners from STIs, including HIV.

When used correctly, they're a     reliable method of preventing pregnancy.

It's a form of contraception     you only need to use when you have sex.

There are no serious side     effects.

Disadvantages:

Some couples find that putting     in a condom interrupts sex. To get around this, insert it in advance or     try to make doing so a part of foreplay.

Female condoms are very strong,     but they may split or tear if not used properly.

They're not as widely available     as male condoms and can be more expensive.

Can anything make female condoms less effective?

Sperm can sometimes get into the vagina during sex, even when using a female condom.

This may happen if:

the penis touches the area     around the vagina before a female condom is put in

the female condom gets pushed     too far into the vagina

the penis accidentally enters     between the side of the vagina and the condom

the condom gets damaged by     sharp fingernails or jewelry.

If you think sperm has got into your vagina, you may need emergency contraception. You can use emergency contraception up to 5 days after unprotected sex.

You should also consider having an STI test. This can be done at a:

sexual health or genitourinary     (GUM) clinic

contraception clinic

young people's clinic

ANECDOTE

Single Guy's Lament: What Became Of The Female Condom?

July 27, 2012

By David C. Holzman Guest contributor

David C. Holzman writes from Lexington, Mass., on science, medicine, energy, environment, and cars. He is Journal Highlights editor for the American Society for Microbiology and won a Plain Language Award last year from the National Institutes of Health. This essay began as a response to a CommonHealth post on why people have unsafe sex, and turned into much more.

Caution genes run in my family. My parents put seat belts in the ’57 Chevy in 1960, eight years before they became mandatory. In July, 1975, I bought Bell bicycle helmet serial number 7022. My cycling ensemble also includes one of those lime green jerseys that’s visible from the International Space Station.

And I was asking sex partners about Sexually Transmitted Diseases beginning in the early 1980s, when herpes — not HIV — was the main subject of such conversations. This despite the fact that the first time I did, the woman refused to discuss it, saying I could go to bed with her when I was ready to trust her.

Now, in 2012, I still wouldn’t dream of leaving my seatbelt unbuckled, or biking without my helmet and jersey. I’ve never stopped asking new sex partners about STDs. But recent news reports have suggested that among the middle aged, rates of sexually transmitted diseases are rising while condom use is falling, and I have to confess:

At 59, I’ve worn condoms probably fewer than five times since the millennium, despite having been single for six of those years, during which time I’ve averaged one or two new partners a year, and despite the admonitions of my wonderful primary care doctor. The reason is simple: in my 20s and 30s, sex with a condom felt like getting massaged over a shirt. Now it feels like a massage through a winter overcoat.

I did don a condom last fall, when a new partner made a big deal of it. As a precaution, I took half a Viagra beforehand. (I don’t normally need the pharmaceutical pump; it was left over from earlier, when an antidepressant that I have long since discontinued had turned a Corvette into a Yugo.)

Despite my precaution, our effort to couple resulted in a deflationary event. I couldn’t feel a thing. Actually, I take that back. I did feel the condom squeezing me like a latex boa constrictor, then a softening like a leak in a bicycle tire. And then I felt lost. With that thing on, I would have needed a GPS to find my way in.

I'd like to note here that I take good care of my body. My diet is Michael Pollan-approved, my body mass index is 20, and I run more than 1,000 miles a year. But studies have shown that penile sensitivity declines steadily after the teens and 20s, so that by the 40s and 50s, men require more intense stimulation, says Culley C. Carson, III, Rhodes Distinguished Professor of Urology at the University of North Carolina. “And condoms add to the disability, if you will.”

I knew that there was an alternative — at least, there had been once. In 1993, I dated a woman who worked on reproductive issues at the National Institutes of Health. We initially used male condoms, but she soon introduced me to something called a female condom, which we used from then on. Then made of polyurethane, it fit inside the vagina, clinging snugly to the walls, held there by an inner and an outer ring. The sensation wasn’t quite as wonderful as using nothing, but for me, the sense of touch was like 20-20 vision rather than the somatosensory blurring that condoms induce. I marveled at the wonder of this device.

Nonetheless, for nearly the next two decades, I never even heard the phrase, “female condom,” nor did I read it, in the mainstream media or any health news outlet. It made few headlines at the major international AIDS conference this week.

Just prior to the date of the deflationary event, knowing that my hydraulics were not what they'd once been, I called a few drug stores to ask if they had female condoms. No one had heard of them.

New HIV diagnoses in people over 50 had doubled from 2000 to 2009.

Soon after, I began seeing news reports with titles like “Seniors’ sex lives are up — and so are STD cases,” and “Condom Use Lowest…Among Adults Over 40?”

In case you missed all that, there were two major sources. One was an editorial last winter in the Student British Medical Journal, written by Rachel von Simson, a medical student at King’s College London, and Ranjababu Kulasegaram, a consultant genitourinary physician at St. Thomas’ Hospital London. The two investigators found that in the UK, new HIV diagnoses in people over 50 had doubled from 2000 to 2009.

How much of that jump comes from unprotected sex? Not clear. They did not break it down by method of transmission, and von Simson says there are no data on condom use in older adults in the UK: “No one was interested in measuring rates until we already had a problem, making past comparison impossible, and still no one has got around to a large study.”

Data showing that condom use falls off with age comes from the National Survey of Sexual Health and Behavior, conducted by the Center for Sexual Health Promotion at Indiana University. Condom use among men plummets from 79.1 percent of males ages 14-17, down to 13.7 percent of 45-60 year olds, and just 5.1 percent of men over 60.

But the drop-off in condom use with age does not necessarily point to rampant risk-taking among older Americans. “The most common reasons for lack of condom use," Michael Reece, co-director of the Indiana University’s Center for Sexual Health Promotion, wrote me in an email, are:

* in a monogamous relationship * trying to get pregnant * not worried about pregnancy (not planning to get pregnant but also not a big deal if it happens) * using other forms of contraception.”

Nonetheless, while the risk of most STDs is real for my peers, it is probably far smaller than the risk for younger Americans. In the United States, unlike the UK, the rate of new HIV infections was stable from 2006 through 2009 among all ages and populations except for young African-American men who have sex with men, says Nikki Mayes, a spokesperson for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

“Additionally, I do want to remind you that rates [of STDs generally] continue to be disproportionate among youth,” says Mayes, noting that the rate of new chlamydia infections was two orders of magnitude lower among 45-54 year olds than among 20-24 year olds: 36 cases per 100,000 people in the older group compared to 2,270 cases in the younger group.

Why female condoms haven’t caught on is a mystery to me. Women seem to love them as much as I do.

To assess your own risk of unprotected sex, it is important to note that these demographics are broadly sliced, and individual risks vary. There are discrete populations where STDs are much higher than average, and others where they are lower. For example, the CDC estimates that new cases of HIV among American women range from 2.9 per 100,000 among non-Hispanic white women to 56 per 100,000 among African American women.

For perspective, the annual death rate from car accidents in the United States is 12.9 per 100,000, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation (and lowest in Massachusetts among all states, at 5.6 per 100,000). In my subjective judgment, which is of course influenced by my own demographics, that risk is low. I can’t think of anyone I know, or have had any close connection with, who has died or been seriously injured in a car accident since the 1980s.

But that doesn’t compare directly to the risk of STDs. Since the risk of becoming infected with an STD is additive — you have to add up the risks of catching each of the different STDs — that risk can be much greater than that of death or serious injury by car crash. And the consequences of sexually transmitted infections vary greatly depending on the specific STD, from relatively inconsequential, to a world of trouble, to early death.

Anyway, why female condoms haven’t caught on is a mystery to me. Women seem to love them as much as I do. One user, 56-year-old Darence Wilson, who works at The Women’s Collective, a Washington, DC non-profit that provides HIV care management, prevention services, and policy and advocacy, calls it “the best thing since sliced bread.” (I am not making that up.) “I feel more like I’m not using anything,” she says, noting that in contrast, the male condom feels like the latex that it is.

All nine users who left reviews at a Walgreen’s pharmacy website — mostly women — gave the female condom five stars. “I really like them!” says MediaGal, from Waterbury, CT. “I put it in before dinner, and once in bed, my partner didn't even notice it.” (The female condom can be inserted eight hours before sex.)

“This product exceeded my expecations (sic),” says Deb, of Pontiac, MI. “It is great to be in control of my protection.”

Mary Brewster, program coordinator for the Pediatric AIDS Chicago Prevention Initiative, says that her favorite aspect of the female condom is that lovers can remain in an intimate embrace after male orgasm. The female condom holds itself in place with its rings, unlike the male condom, which has slipped off many a post-coital penis, releasing sperm for a potential rendezvous with the egg. With the female condom, “It isn’t like, oh, my goodness, we’re using a [male] condom, you better remove yourself immediately after,” says Brewster. “It leads to more intimacy.”

Another advantage, the manufacturer notes, is that the female condom covers most of the external genitalia, making transmission of various viruses much less likely than with a male condom, which leaves plenty of opportunity for contact between male and female reproductive epithelium. (Unlike most of your skin, the areas around the genitalia are not impervious to viruses.)

For those with latex allergies, there’s more good news: the modern female condom, the FC2, is made of nitrile. An additional perk: The female condom can be used for anal sex.

Brewster, who promotes the female condom to clients, says that inserting it does take some getting used to. “We always tell clients that within three tries, you have it,” she says, adding that that was true in her case.

[module align="left" width="half" type="pull-quote"]Every dollar spent on the the female condom program saved $20 in future health care costs.[/module]

At $38.95 for a 15-pack on Amazon, some consider the female condom expensive, certainly compared to male condoms that tend to run about 50 cents each. But in the bigger picture, it has proven cost-effective for preventing HIV infection, according to researchers at the Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg School of Public Health.

Their study involved the “DC Females Condom Program,” in which half a million female condoms were distributed, along with education, to women in Washington DC neighborhoods with high rates of HIV. The Washington, DC Department of Public Health ran the program with support from various community groups. Every dollar spent on the program saved $20 in future health care costs, according to the study, which was just published this month in the journal AIDS and Behavior.

So why didn’t the female condom take off long ago? The polyurethane of the original female condom, which was not replaced until 2008, was harder than the male condom, says Brewster, and “they were kind of noisy, and got a bad rap.” (The noise was a faint crackling sound to which my brain quickly acclimated.)

Brewster also says that the word, “female” in the name of the condom turns off some men (not me!). Additionally, some women “don’t want to touch themselves down there,” she says, adding that it is taboo in some cultures. “In my work as a prevention counselor and HIV tester, I actually ran into this quite often, where women would be put off by the female condom because it required them to touch themselves.”

From my interactions with the Female Health Company, which makes the FC2, I suspect that marketing is not their forte and that they may be short-handed. I’ve phoned them on a handful of occasions, and I’ve usually had to leave a recorded message, which generally gets answered a couple of days later.

Mary Ann Leeper, senior strategic advisor and former president and COO of the Female Health Company, says that most of the interest, effort, and sales of female condoms has been abroad, in countries where big donors have taken an interest.

Meanwhile, the Female Health Company has had established FC2 marketing programs in New York, Houston, and San Francisco, where it is available through CVS stores, Walgreen’s and Planned Parenthood, and new programs are under way in another five jurisdictions. Boston, alas, is not among them. But female condoms can also be obtained on Amazon, for around $1.25 to $4 per unit, not including shipping.

If I were the Gates or the Clinton Foundation, I’d hire a really good public relations firm to get the word out. But I’m not, so I wrote this article.

REFLECTION

Based on the information about the use of female condom, at first, I was hesitant to believe that there is female condom as what I know, only male uses condom. But after reading some information about it, I realized that this kind of safe sex method is actually existing and is used worldwide.

APPLICATION TO OWN EXPERIENCE

Someday, if I have my own family, I may somehow think of using female condom as a means of safe sex protection.

IV. Supporting people with HIV/AIDS

Don't tell anyone about your friend's HIV. A health condition like HIV is personal, private health information. Tell your friend that you will not break his or her trust by telling others.

Be there to talk about your friend's HIV if he or she wants to. It's OK to ask questions about living with HIV. But if your friend doesn't want to talk about it, move on to another topic.

Do things together that can reduce stress. For example, go for a walk, hang out with friends, or just do something together that you both enjoy.

Be a good influence on your friend. Avoid activities that can have bad health effects like smoking (including e-cigarettes), alcohol, and drugs.

If your friend has to miss school because of an appointment or illness, offer to bring homework to him or her.

If people say mean things about your friend's HIV, try to help them understand the facts about HIV. They may be acting this way because they don't know what happens to someone with HIV or how it is spread. If things get too mean, ask a teacher or other adult for help.

V. Risk-Reduction Behavior

          To avoid drugs and sexual risk, you must:

          a. Stay away from bad influence friends

          b. Avoid drinking hard liquors

          c. never get involve with any drug-related activities

          d. Use contraceptives whenever having sex (e.g. condom)

e. Have a monthly check-up with your health care provider regarding sexual risk

To communicate assertively:

Assess your style. Do you voice your opinions or remain silent? Do you say yes to additional work even when your plate is full? Are you quick to judge or blame? Do people seem to dread or fear talking to you? Understand your style before you begin making changes.

Use 'I' statements. Using "I" statements lets others know what you're thinking or feeling without sounding accusatory. For instance, say, "I disagree," rather than, "You're wrong." If you have a request, say, "I     would like you to help with this" rather than, "You need to do     this." Keep your requests simple and specific.

Practice saying no. If you have a hard time turning down requests, try saying, "No, I can't do that now." Don't hesitate — be direct. If an explanation is appropriate, keep it brief.

Rehearse what you want to say. If it's challenging to say what you want or think, practice general scenarios you encounter. Say what you want to say out loud. It may help to write it out first, too, so you can practice from a script. Consider role-playing with a friend or colleague and ask for clear feedback.

Use body language. Communication isn't just verbal. Act confident even if you aren't feeling it. Keep an upright posture, but lean forward a bit. Make regular eye contact. Maintain a neutral or positive facial expression. Don't cross your arms or legs. Practice assertive body language in front of a mirror or with a friend or colleague.

Keep emotions in check. Conflict is hard for most people. Maybe you get angry or frustrated, or maybe you feel like crying. Although these feelings are normal, they can get in the way of resolving conflict. If you feel too emotional going into a situation, wait a bit if possible. Then work on remaining calm. Breathe slowly. Keep your voice even and firm.

Start small. At first, practice your new skills in situations that are low risk. For instance, try out your assertiveness on a partner or friend before     tackling a difficult situation at work. Evaluate yourself afterward and     tweak your approach as necessary.

How to Treat and Prevent Sweat Rash on the Penis

Sun’s out, guns out! Summer is in effect and as a result, men are more likely to get a sweat rash on their penis. A heat rash anywhere is uncomfortable, but a sweat rash on the penis is especially uncomfortable. It’s red, it’s angry, and it’s easy to stave off if you know how. Let’s talk about the different types of sweat rashes, who’s most likely to get them, how to treat them, and of course, how to prevent them from happening in the future.

What Is a Sweat Rash?

Also known as a heat rash, this happens when the skin’s sweat glands get blocked. The sweat can’t get to the surface of the skin to evaporate. This causes inflammation and, presto change-o, a sweat rash! Its symptoms include little red bumps on the skin, itchiness, and a prickling sensation. There are three types of sweat rash:

- Miliaria crystalline – This is the most common form of sweat rash. It is marked by small, clear (sometimes white) bumps filled with fluid. The fluid is actually sweat. This type is not painful or itchy.

- Miliaria rubra – This is referred to as prickly heat. It presents as red bumps on the skin, lack of sweat in the infected area, and inflammation. If it progresses, the bumps can fill with pus (and it’s then called miliaria pustalosa). It is the most uncomfortable type because it occurs in the deep layers of the skin.

- Miliaria profunda – The least common type of heat rash, it occurs in the deepest skin layer (the dermis). It creates big, tough, flesh-colored bumps. It can be chronic in some cases.

Who Is Most Likely to Have a Sweat Rash?

People who are obese, live in a humid climate, are on bed rest, or who exercise and then don’t shower after are all very prone to sweat rash. People who take medications, like those for Parkinson’s disease or medications that raise body temperature, can also be more likely to have sweat rash.

How to Treat Sweat Rash on the Penis

The first rule of treatment for a penis rash (all rashes for that matter) is to pull back on all non-functional touching (basically only elimination and showering). The less contact the penis has with anything, the better.

Next up, tenderly clean the penis with lukewarm water and a mild cleanser; an all-natural baby wash is perfect. Rinse thoroughly and air dry. It’s okay to pat dry with a towel instead of airdrying, but again, any unnecessary contact may intensify discomfort and slow down healing.

Also, a cool compress is a great way to reduce the heat and discomfort of a sweat rash. Now, don’t go grabbing an ice pack! The best way to make a cool compress is by dunking a soft washcloth in cool water, wringing it out, and then putting it directly on the penis until the cloth is no longer cool. Repeat until relieved.

If the penis rash worsens or spreads, see a doctor immediately.

How to Prevent Sweat Rash on the Penis

Sweat rash on the penis can be easily avoided with a few easy, logical tips. First, keep the penis and genital area clean and dry. Some people choose to use a powder like Gold Bond to help keep the area dry. Shower immediately after exercise or any sweat-inducing activity. Also, let the penis air dry as often as possible.

Lastly, a great way to keep penis rashes at bay is to moisturize the penis daily. Using a specially formulated penis health creme (health professionals recommend Man 1 Man Oil, which has been clinically proven safe and mild for skin) can drastically improve this delicate skin. Look for crèmes with moisturizers like vitamin E and shea butter, which are less likely to irritate skin than are other emollients. Use a crème with an array of penis-happy vitamins like A, B, C, and D to promote cell regeneration and collagen production and to keep bacteria away. Adding this final step is a great way to prevent sweat rash on the penis.

Why I’m open about my STD Status

At around 10:30 AM Central Time, I received a call from my doctor’s office that would set into motion a chain of emotional events that continue even now as I write this. This call—which pulled me from a deep sleep—began simply enough.

Hello, I said.

Hello, the receptionist replied. Mr [Me?]

Yes. This is he.

We’d like you to come in to discuss some blood work. Can you come in at around 2:30?

In a state of shock, I said, Yes, I can. Then I hung up.

And began to panic.

A week prior, I had gone to the doctor with complaints about a sore throat, flank pain, and discomfort in my pelvic region. I had just recently been with another partner, and after a routine examination, was treated with heavy antibiotics for what was believed to be a sexual infection, then discharged with orders to have blood work done. I complied the following day, when I went to the laboratory and submitted myself to the ordered tests. My doctor was concerned that I had maybe contracted an STD (a Disease, rather than an Infection) that was causing my pain, and as such, wanted to check to ensure that there wasn’t a lingering ‘hidden’ cause for my original discomfort.

Fast-forward to today, after that call, to 2:00 PM. With fear in my heart and panic coursing through my veins, I went in, sat down, and was almost immediately called back a half-hour before my appointment was even met to start.

I was told, quite frankly, that my blood work had come back positive for HSV-2—

Otherwise known as Genital Herpes.

There is no easy way to describe the feelings one goes through when they are told that they have an incurable illness. Though I’d experienced this before when I was diagnosed with HIV, it was a fresh torrent of familiar emotions that still attacked me without mercy. Shock immediately set in. Then guilt. Then a horrible feeling of uncleanliness. My PTSD-addled brain attempted to make me disassociate from the world around me, but somehow, someway—whether it be through sheer willpower or stubborn determination—I fought it off, and listened to what my doctor had to say.

Your antivirals appear to be controlling your symptoms, he said. You say you’ve never had an outbreak. Never had a lesion, or a sore. You could have been carrying this around for years without even knowing it.

For years.

Let that settle in.

I could have been carrying this virus for years.

Why?

Because it’s not a common thing they test for in STI/STD blood work. It has to be requested before they’ll even test for it, my doctor claimed.

Between the hurt, the anger, the frustration, and the feelings that my life and relationships would once again be adversely affected, it was hard to pay attention to what was going on around me. When the doctor finally left after giving me prescriptions for unrelated issues, I exited the clinic with a torrent of emotions.

I managed not to cry until I got home.

I only posted about my newfound HSV-2 status after telling my roommates.

This leads me to the point of this post, and why I’m telling anyone anything at all about the diagnosis.

Why am I open?

Most are afraid of the stigma. Most are afraid to speak about it. Most won’t speak about it. And that’s what leads to contraction. The ‘dirty little secrets’ that are STDs (and by D, I mean Diseases) prevent people from having open discussions about this.

Do I know who gave me HSV-2? Or even HIV? No. I don’t. Because in my life, I’ve had multiple partners, and each of those partners have had partners and their partners had partners and those partners other partners. It’s an intricate web healthcare providers refer to as a sexual network, and if something slips in at any point—especially something which is at present incurable—it filters down. 1 in 6 people are said to have Herpes. 36.7 million people have HIV worldwide. I, unfortunately, just happened to be one of those people who have both.

So, why am I telling you all this when I could be quiet about it?

Because mistakes occur. Accidents happen. And while I feel liberated in a sense talking about it, I still await the onslaught of judgment from people I know and people who don’t know me. Previous declarations of my status has been met with horrible accusations, hate, and venom. The fact that one of my partners has met me without judgment is one thing I am incredibly thankful for, because no one wants to hear that a partner they’ve been with has an incurable illness. The fact that I’ve yet to contact two others terrifies the hell out of me.

So… with that being said:

I am open because it allows me peace of mind. Because it keeps toxicity from my life. And because it lets me be in control when, in reality, I have very little control over everything else.

What do I tell people then?

My name is Kody, and I’m HIV—and now, HSV—positive.

Anabolic steroids – The Naturally Happening Terpenoid Lipids

The obviously occurring terpenoid lipids inside animals, plants, and fungi, Steroids are often classified in to animal steroids, insect steroid drugs, ecdysteroids, vertebrate steroids, anabolic steroid hormones, plant steroids, in addition to fungus steroids. Steroids are found in people inside the form of anabolic steroid hormones, that are further classified as sex steroids, corticosteroids, and anabolic steroids.

Sex steroids are the sex bodily hormones that play important role inside creating sex differences plus reproduction in humans. They will include estrogen or oestrogen, progesterone and testosterone. Oestrogen and progesterone are produced primarily in the ovary and placenta during maternity and testosterone is mainly produced in the male souffrance. Corticosteroids including glucocorticoids in addition to mineralocorticoids are responsible within regulating many aspects associated with as well as immune function.

Where To Buy Dianabol?

Anabolic steroids are the most nicely known steroids. Occurring normally in human bodies, steroids play key role inside the growth genitals, body muscle groups, and bones. However, steroids are also produced synthetically. The synthetically produced anabolic steroids are produced as anabolic steroid drugs or even medications.

Synthetically produced anabolic steroids are also known as anabolic-androgenic steroids or AAS. They are actually steroid hormones associated with typically the hormone testosterone, a powerful androgenic hormone produced chiefly by simply the testes, and that is in charge of the development of male secondary sexual intercourse characteristics. The main function of anabolic steroids is usually protein synthesis within tissues, which assists with building up of cellular tissue (anabolism), especially in muscles. These steroids also play androgenic and virilizing role. They will help in the growth and maintenance of manly features, such as the growth of the vocal wires and body hair.

Buying Dianabol Online

Thus, anabolic steroids are medically used to enhance bone growth and appetite, in order to stimulate male puberty, and to treat many chronic throwing away diseases, such as HELPS and cancer. They usually are often used to enhance muscle mass and physical strength. However, the artificial anabolic substances are broadly used as performance enhancing drugs. They may be extensively utilized, abused, overused in sporting activities and bodybuilding to boost strength or physique.

Nevertheless, there are several serious health hazards associated with too much and long term use of anabolic steroids. Some regarding the negative effects linked together with anabolic steroid use consist of adverse changes in bad cholesterol levels – increase inside LDL (Low Density Lipoprotein) and minimize in HDL (High Density Lipoprotein), severe acne, hypertension, liver damage, in addition to deadly changes in the structure of the left ventricle.

Natural Cures for HPV - The Cervical Cancer Virus

The human papilloma virus is ubiquitous, which means it’s everywhere and hard for public health agencies to control it so many people are looking for natural cures for HPV. There are vaccine solutions but the studies were done hastily and there have been reports of severe side effects leaving many people wondering if they should take it or if it’s too late once they are already struck with the virus. The virus itself is said to be self-limiting, which means that the body deals with it in most cases. However, the fact still remains that this is the virus that may cause genital warts, cervical dysplasia, cervical cancer and a host of other cancers such as throat and anal cancers as well. Therefore is it any wonder that many people are looking for natural cures for HPV - otherwise known as the cervical cancer virus.

There are 4 strains responsible for cellular changes that could eventually cause cervical cancer (HPV 6 and 11, which are less harmful than the aggressive HPV 16 and 18). These same strains lead to anal, throat and mouth cancer in sexually active males and females.

Symptoms of HPV

Men are usually silent carriers, meaning they do not know they are spreading this pervasive sexually transmitted disease because they are free of symptoms and there no is no possible testing method. Most women will also never develop any symptoms because the HPV infection is usually self-limiting – this means that the body’s immune system fights the virus on its own. The Papanicolaou, or PAP test, is a necessary exam for females whereby the physician takes a cellular sample from the cervical tissue for cellular analysis to assess for cellular changes, called cervical atypical or cervical dysplasia. While spotting and pain during sexual intercourse are the most common symptoms, the PAP test is the only way to determine actual risk for cervical changes. Having routine PAP tests reduces a woman’s risk of developing a cancer related to the HPV infection. Diagnoses are staged for severity of cervical dysplasia (Cervical Intracellular Neoplasia 1, CIN2, CIN3 and cancers (Carcinoma in Situ, Invasive Cervical Carcinoma). But what determines if person develops a persistent HPV infection, or if it clears up on its own?

What to do about HPV?

Despite a reported high vaccine effectiveness3, the prevalence of infections may be rising. Studies show that vaccine compliance is low, possibly due to lack of public trust on the safety of the vaccine (see incidence reports on deaths and adverse events here: http://www.nvic.org). Data from the American National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey in 2009-2010 found that the prevalence of HPV infections among women is 42.7% in the cervix, and 3.8% in the mouth and throat2. Women with oral HPV infections were 5 times more likely to have a cervical HPV infection as well, which means that HPV infections at these two sites are not independent2. Thus, overall body health and susceptibility, rather than exposure, might be the issue.

Since it is the body’s immune system that is responsible for fighting off this virus, then education and Nutrition may be the missing pieces to overcome these conditions in a safe and non-invasive way. Nutrition and lifestyle factors can play either a positive or detrimental role on an individual’s overall level of health. You may check your own nutritional status using an online tool as ensuring adequate nutrition is the first step towards having a strong immune system. While there has been massive promotion of the HPV vaccine, the population’s health efforts to promote a healthy lifestyle and diet have been minimal at best. A lack of health information on the risk factors of HPV and prevention and lifestyle strategies to treat it leave the public feeling confused and powerless about their options. While research is behind, there are many risk factors and interventions associated with lifestyle and nutrition that the public ought to be informed of so they know how to best prevent and treat their current situation.

GET EDUCATED: How to Reduce your Risk of HPV Infections

Get tested. Getting examined by the doctor establishes your cervical health. - PAPS, and think prep of cells to check for virus and abnormalities.

Use protection.  Unprotected intercourse increases risk for developing tissue abnormalities. While cervical cancer is unlikely with condom usage, genital warts can be contacted, as male and female condoms do not cover the entire area. Keep in mind the virus may be latent for years or decades.

Delay intercourse and be selective. Changing male partners (especially prior to 18 years of age) introduces the virus at a time when the body is still maturing, meaning the cells are most susceptible to viral influences.    

Delay childbirth. Giving birth prior to 22 years of age increases risk for cervical dysplasia due to cellular changes in the cervix.                                       

Stop smoking. Women who smoke have 2-3 times higher risk for developing cervical abnormalities due to oxidative stress that lower the immune system’s response to fight the virus.  Results from a large prospective study confirmed that tobacco smoking is a major risk factor for the most severe types of cervical dysplasia (CIN3) as well as CIS, and even the more severe ICC4. Quitting smoking is required for recovery from HPV.

Reconsider your Pill. Long-term use of oral contraceptives (over 5 years, as well as other medications such as Midol, Tylenol, and Ibuprofen) may be responsible for nutrient deficiencies of the crucial antioxidants (Folic Acid, Vitamin C and Zinc) needed to protect soft cervical tissues against conditions caused by HPV.

Cut down on alcohol. Alcohol damages cells and leaches key nutrients in the body that protect the immune system (B1, B12, Folic Acid and Zinc). A link has been established in women who consume two or more servings of alcoholic beverages per day with a persistent HPV infection of the mouth5.

Fruits, veggies and supplements. Those who eat a poor nutrient diet, meaning insufficient servings of fruits and veggies, are missing these key nutrients mentioned above as well as special plant nutrients mentioned below. Keep reading.

GET HEALTHY: Nutrients Researched for HPV Infections and Immunity

If you have been diagnosed with abnormal cervical cells or cervical dysplasia, rather than waiting to the next PAP test, why not act now to improve antioxidant protection and boost your immune system? Nutritional programs may include food and supplement suggestions for increasing specific nutrients, as well as improving immunity so the body can fight the virus on its own:

High nutrient intake. A diet rich with green, yellow, orange, red and cruciferous vegetables has been shown to be the best way to incorporate key nutrients into the diet. When specific antioxidants such as Vitamins A, C, E, folic acid, carotenoids and lycopene are low, HPV is harder to treat. What’s more, cabbage-family vegetables with natural levels of Indol-3-Carbinol and Sulforaphanes have great cancer-fighting abilities.

Increase alkalinity and decrease acid. You can measure the acidity of your urine using a pH test strip. Increase green vegetables and green tea, and decrease processed food, meat, alcohol and coffee.

Breathe in salt air and eat from the sea. Seafood contains essential minerals such as iodine, magnesium, calcium, boron, selenium and zinc, which are essential for maintaining a healthy immune system, healthy thyroid function, metabolism, and electrolytes. If your whole body is healthier, delicate tissues like your cervix will respond positively.

Exposure to the sunshine vitamin. Don’t forget Vitamin D is essential for normalizing immune response. The salt water mineral magnesium is required in order for Vitamin D to aid in proper calcium absorption.

Leave junk food behind. Processed foods are high in sodium, refined sugar, processed white flour, and animal products with hormones and other bad fats, causing inflammation and robbing the body of essential nourishment.

In addition to the diet, there are several key antioxidant nutrients have been studied in relation to HPV, cervical dysplasia, and cervical cancer. While there is no guarantee you can recover naturally from cervical cancer, nutrition can be used alone or in combination with medical procedures to improve outcomes and protect one’s response to HPV exposure. Here is how to augment specific nutrition to give your immune system the best defense possible, inspired by the original protocol by Dr. Tori Hudson, ND, here is a 12-month plan to boost your immunity. Supplement levels will vary in each individual.

Dr. Millie's Plan

Folic Acid: Low serum and red blood cell folate are moderately, but not significantly, associated with an increased risk of invasive cervical cancer6. If you are on oral contraception pills, drink alcohol, or take ibuprofen or other pain relievers, you are more likely to have an insufficient supply of folate in the body. Several studies have shown that low serum folate levels are linked to cervical dysplasia, and high folate blood levels are linked to the prevention of CIN I (cervical dysplasia).8,9 Improvement in cervical dysplasia outcomes using folic acid supplementation is also well documented10, showing improvement when using up to 10mg per day for 3-6 months. If you are over 35 then take half the dose.

Indol-3-Carbinol, Sulfurophanes and DIM: Studies show that this extract from cabbage or cruciferous family vegetables, broccoli seed extract, sulphuraphane, I-3-C and DIM have the potential to prevent and even treat a number of common estrogen-related cancers.11 In a double blind, placebo-controlled study, 30 patients with biopsy-confirmed CIN II-III (moderate to severe cervical dysplasia) received either a placebo or 200 or 400mg oral 1-3-C daily for 12 weeks. None of the 10 placebo patients had complete regression of CIN, whereas four out of eight patients in the 200 mg per day group and four of nine in the 400 mg per day group had complete regression.12

Depending on the quality of your diet and lifestyle, a multivitamin and mineral supplement for women that includes antioxidants such as Vitamins A, C, E, CoQ10, Lycopene, Lutein, Selenium and Zinc may be essential for good cervical health. One study found that blood levels of CoQ10 and Vitamin E were significantly lower in patients with diagnosed CIN cervical cancer than in controls.13 Another study revealed that levels of CoQ10 from cervical epithelial cells themselves were significantly lower in women diagnosed with CIN.14

Vitamin C in any form is one of the body’s main antioxidants. It also works to re-circulate Vitamin E, another one of the body’s most important antioxidant. While it’s known that women with cervical dysplasia have low blood levels of  Vitamin C15, Vitamin C’s benefits are numerous. One study showed that women with high intake of Vitamin C had a lower risk of cervical dysplasia.16 Another study of Korean women looked at 58 cases of CIN cervical cancer and compared them with 86 women with normal PAP test results – the cancer group had significantly lower blood levels of Vitamin C than the control group.17 Take up to 5000mg / day.

Green Tea: Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) is the most powerful polyphenol antioxidant from green tea, known to impede the epidermal growth factor receptor, an agent needed for cervical cell growth. A recent study looked at 51 women with HPV-positive cervical dysplasia and divided them into 4 groups, compared to 39 controls. Green tea ointment was applied locally to 27 patients twice a week. 20 out of 27 patients under ointment therapy showed a response. One standardized EGCG capsule was taken every day for 8 to 12 weeks. Six out of eight patients under green tea ointment plus capsule therapy showed a response. Six out of 10 patients under EGCG capsule therapy alone showed a response. Overall, a 69% response rate was noted for treatment with green tea extracts, compared with a 10% response spontaneous improvement rate in the controls. A positive response meant an improvement in cervical dysplasia staging.18

Coriolus Versicolor (Reishi, Shiitake, Cordyceps and Coriolus)  is an immune mushroom commonly used for its health-boosting properties due to their high beta-glucans and polyphenol levels.. As a known immune-modulator, it has been studied for its immune-enhancing properties. It has been studied for its ability to improve immune response to HPV and to reverse the early stages of cervical cancer.19 In a year-long Portuguese study, Coriolus versicolor cleared high-risk strains of HPV known to cause cervical dysplasia and cervical cancer in 39 women. All of the women had the equivalent of CIN 1 or 2. After one year, 9 of 10 women who supplemented with 3000mg Coriolus versicolor tested negative for HPV, compared with just 1 of 12 placebo women. In addition, 13 of 18 Coriolus patients reverted to normal PAP results, compared with 10 of 21 non-supplemented women.

Resveratrol: In one in vitro study, Resveratrol treatment (150-250 µmol/l) applied for 48 hours increased cell-cycle arrest on HPV18 and HPV16 positive cervical cancer cells.21 Furthermore, a lower dose of resveratrol (50 µmol/ produced a similar effect, suggesting that this effect is not necessarily dose-dependent and that even a low dose of resveratrol treatment changes the expression of the cancer gene on both HPV18 and HPV16-positive cells. This study shows promise that that resveratrol uses different mechanisms to induce the killing of cervical cancer cells.

Topical treatments are important as well. In addition to this vitamin protocol, there is a treatment option involving a rotating series of vaginal suppositories for women with moderate or severe cervical dysplasia. Many of these suppositories have been taken off the market by the FDA because it now considers suppositories a drug. However if you are having a compounding pharmacy make them it would would include a combination of antiviral, escharotics and therapeutic herbs, enzymes, and vitamins to treat and heal the local site. These suppositories are capable of killing the virus and healing the local area, and unlike the LEEP procedures, are non-scarring. Suppositories must be performed or taught by a trained alternative health professional. You must see a Naturopathic Doctor for this treatment option is for you. Unfortunately PAP tests are provided less often now, however it is important if you have tested positive to go for them more often. Do your best to deactivate this virus and strengthen your immune system using the amazing tips provided.

Aphthous Stomatitis

Michael C. Plewa; Kingshuk Chatterjee.

Author Information

Last Update: December 2, 2018.

Go to:

Introduction

Aphthous stomatitis is a common ailment, idiopathic in nature, with recurrent painful aphthous ulcers (commonly termed “canker sores”) on the non-keratinized oral mucous membranes.[1][2][3]

Go to:

Etiology

The cause of aphthous stomatitis is idiopathic and multifactorial, but likely involves activation of the cell-mediated immune system.  Aphthous ulcers are not caused by acute infections and are therefore not contagious. Aphthous stomatitis may be triggered by local trauma, emotional or physiologic stress, allergy or sensitivity (such as to sodium lauryl sulfate present in toothpaste and oral hygiene products, foods such as cinnamon, cheese, citrus, figs or pineapple), toxin exposure (nitrates in drinking water), menstruation, or alterations in the oral microbiome. Malabsorption, enteropathy, or celiac disease may be present. As many as 20% of cases are related to hematinic deficiencies (iron, folate, vitamin B6 and B12), although other deficiencies such as vitamin D, zinc, or thiamine may also be present.  Aphthous ulcers are more prevalent in nonsmokers and smokers who quit and less common in individuals with good oral hygiene practices.[4][5][6]

Go to:

Epidemiology

Aphthous stomatitis affects approximately 20% of the general population. It is slightly more common in girls and women as well as among affluent socioeconomic classes and countries. Race does not appear to be a factor in the disease. Age of onset may be during childhood, but more commonly in the second and third decade of life, becoming less common with advancing age. Aphthous stomatitis can be a manifestation of Behcet syndrome, systemic lupus erythematosus, reactive arthritis, or inflammatory bowel disease (especially Crohn disease). These disorders may be excluded based on systemic signs and symptoms. [7][8]

Go to:

Pathophysiology

Aphthous ulcerations are initially and primarily the result of T cell-mediated immune dysfunction but also may involve neutrophil and mast cell-mediated destruction of the mucosal epithelium. Lesions can have alterations in several intercellular mediators, such as elevations in interferon gamma, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, and interleukins (IL)-2, IL-4 and IL-5, as well as various adhesion molecules involved in cell communication and epithelial integrity. This inflammatory process results in a pseudomembrane containing fibrinous exudate, bacteria, inflammatory cells, and necrotic mucosal cells.

Aphthous ulcers occur on non-keratinized oral mucosae such as along the labial or buccal surfaces, soft palate, the floor of the mouth, the ventral or lateral surface of the tongue, tonsillar fauces, free (marginal or unattached) gingiva adjacent to teeth, and alveolar gingiva in the maxillary and mandibular sulci. In contrast, ulcerations from herpes simplex virus (HSV) involve the keratinized mucosal surfaces such as the attached gingival and dorsum of the tongue, lips, and hard palate.

Go to:

History and Physical

Patients may notice a prodrome of burning discomfort a day or two before the onset of ulcerations. Fever, rash, headache, or lymphadenopathy are typically absent and would suggest a different diagnosis such as herpangina or PFAPA syndrome (periodic fever, pharyngitis, adenitis, and oral ulceration). A history of prior ulceration is typical.

On physical exam, patients with aphthous stomatitis are well-appearing and afebrile. Assess for clinical signs of dehydration, especially in infants and children. Involvement of the eye (uveitis) or genitalia suggest other diagnoses, such as Behçet syndrome or MAGIC syndrome (mouth and genital ulcers with inflamed cartilage).

The ulcers of aphthous stomatitis are present as well-circumscribed lesions with central necrotic ulcer with gray, fibrinous exudate surrounded by an erythematous halo on the non-keratinized oral mucosa. Typical locations include the buccal (cheek) and labial (lip) mucosae, the floor of the mouth, the ventral surface of the tongue, and the soft palate. Minor aphthous ulcerations, the most common form of aphthous stomatitis, are less than 1 cm in diameter, round or oval in shape, with yellow or gray pseudomembrane surrounded by an inflammatory red halo, and heal typically within 7-14 days.  Major aphthous ulcers are deeper, larger (often 2-3 cm in diameter), may have irregular raised borders, and can take many weeks or months to heal, sometimes with scarring.  Much less common are herpetiform recurrent aphthous ulcers, 1 to 2 mm in diameter in clusters of 10 to 100 in groups or throughout the mouth, which usually heal within a few weeks.

Go to:

Evaluation

Diagnosis of aphthous stomatitis is clinical, and laboratory testing is usually unnecessary, although diagnostic testing might be considered in persistent, severe, or recurrent cases. [9][8]

A complete blood count demonstrating anemia might suggest hematinic deficiency such as iron, folate, or vitamin B12. Neutropenia might prompt consideration of cyclic neutropenia as a cause of ulcerations.

Gluten-sensitive enteropathy (celiac disease) present in fewer than 5% of recurrent aphthous stomatitis cases and can be identified with serum anti-endomysium antibody and transglutaminase assay.

Consider HIV testing in cases with complex or severe involvement, persistent herpetiform or major aphthous stomatitis, or those involving keratinized mucosa (adherent gingival, dorsum of the tongue, hard palate).

Go to:

Treatment / Management

The goals of treatment are to reduce pain (allowing adequate hydration and nutrition), enhance healing, and prevent recurrence. Many treatment options are available for aphthous stomatitis, including topical agents such as local anesthetics (benzocaine), coating or occlusive agents (bismuth subsalicylate, sucralfate, 2-octyl cyanoacrylate, and various bioadherent emollient pastes), antiseptics (chlorhexidine gluconate and hydrogen peroxide), anti-inflammatory agents such as glucocorticosteroids (clobetasol, dexamethasone, fluocinonide, and triamcinolone), amlexanox and metalloprotease inhibitors (antimicrobials tetracycline, doxycycline, or minocycline), honey, and immunomodulatory agents (amlexanox, colchicine, cyclosporine, cyclophosphamide, dapsone, methotrexate, montelukast, thalidomide, or retinoids). [10][11][12]

A step-wise approach to the treatment of aphthous stomatitis involves initial topical anesthetic and occlusive or antiseptic agents for symptom relief of minor cases. First-line treatment of major or minor aphthous stomatitis with significant symptoms is typical with topical steroids in gel or emollient paste (e.g., Orabase) to shorten the duration. Another option would be a one-time local steroid injection, such as triamcinolone. Severe refractory or persistent cases may further be treated with systemic steroids (dexamethasone or prednisone), immunomodulatory agents (listed above), pentoxifylline, or quercetin.

The experimental treatment may include various herbal products or local desiccation (such as with tincture of benzoin), cautery (such as the application of silver nitrate), or even biopsy, all after local anesthesia. Laser therapy may be effective for severe or recurrent cases. Good oral hygiene may prevent recurrences. Dietary supplementation with iron, zinc, or vitamins B1, B2, B6, B12, or C may be useful in individuals with deficiencies of these. A gluten-free diet is important only for those individuals diagnosed with celiac disease.

Importance of Obstetrician Gynaecologist (OB-GYN ) in Women Health

Obstetrician and Gynaecologist play a critical role in a woman's health, so it's critical that she selects one she can trust and work with to meet her unique needs.

An Obstetrician focuses on the health of a woman and her baby during pregnancy, birth, and post-natal care, whereas

A Gynecologist specializes on the medical care of women and their reproductive systems. A woman may choose to see an OB/Gyn, which is an acronym for obstetrics and gynaecology specialists.

What is the importance of OB Gyn Jamaica

The menstrual cycle, breast illness, family planning, infertility, hormones, sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), and risk factors for gynecologic cancers are among concerns that a gynecologist is trained to detect and treat.

Females should consult a gynecologist or OB/Gyn doctor between the ages of 13 and 15,  when their reproductive systems begin to mature and they become sexually active. Beginning at the age of 21, all women should visit their doctor once a year for an annual exam that focuses on breast and pelvic health as well as any other issues that may arise. Women who start sexual activity before the age of 21 should start having annual exams earlier to allow for STD screening and contraception education.

An annual exam should be a top priority for every woman. Many disease processes can be detected early, when therapy is most effective, thanks to preventive visits and early screening. Annual checks also help to create trust between a woman and her healthcare practitioner, which is crucial if health problems emerge.

The Leading Causes of Women's Sexual-Reproductive Health Issues

Lack of awareness, family history, poor cleanliness, unsafe sexual intercourse, substance misuse, and physical trauma are all factors that contribute to women's sexual reproductive health problems.

Lack of fitness, an improper diet, and poor mental and emotional health can all cause complications. This is why frequent gynecological exams are so important for maintaining a healthy lifestyle and avoiding any potential hazards.

What kind of test does a Gynecologist in Jamaica do

Pelvic exam to establish the health of reproductive organs, Pap test to assess abnormal cells in the cervix, and breast exam to identify malignant breast nodules are the most prevalent tests. A variety of questions about daily life, family history, and overall wellness are also included in the test.

Why are Gynaecological examination important for good female reproductive health

The exams, as well as STD screening and contraception advice, should be done on a yearly basis. This aids in the early discovery of various disease processes, allowing for the most effective treatment. Annual visits are also critical for establishing trust between a woman and her health care provider, which is crucial if a health problem emerges unexpectedly. Cervical issues are rare in women who have a strong relationship with their healthcare practitioner.

A best OB-GYN can provide a comprehensive range of services to fulfill a woman's health needs at any period of her life, from puberty to childbearing years, menopause, and beyond. Obstetricians and gynecologists, or obgyn Jamaica are women's health specialists.

How do Obstetrician and Gynaecologist help women

Young ladies and OB-GYNs

The first appointment provides an opportunity for the patient and her OB-GYN to begin a lengthy relationship.

The first visit could simply consist of an age-appropriate discussion of reproductive health issues, such as menstruation and sexual behaviors, as well as a review of medical history. A comprehensive examination and an external genital examination are usually conducted. Unless there is a health issue, an internal pelvic exam, which is a check of the reproductive organs, is not required.

They are advised prenatal vitamins or a folic acid supplement, which reduces the risk of some birth defects, and see if they want to undergo a carrier screening (genetic disorder testing)

Infertility and OB-GYNs

Infertility is treated by doctor of obstetrics and gynecology, and age is often an issue.

An infertility evaluation is performed to determine the cause of infertility.

Most of the cases are solved, while 20% of cases that we can't figure out to a reproductive endocrinologist or a fertility subspecialist. And they're thinking about stuff like intrauterine insemination (artificial insemination) or in-vitro conception these days.

In-vitro fertilization is a procedure in which a woman's eggs are extracted from her body, fertilized with sperm in a lab, and then implanted back into her uterus in the hopes of becoming pregnant. The younger and healthier a woman is, the better her chances of success are.

Breast examinations, menopause

For every woman, menopause is a time of transition. Symptoms associated with this transition can appear before or after she stops menstruating.

Melanoma: 2 Main Symptoms, Keytruda, Immunotherapy Treatment

What is Melanoma?

Melanoma is the cancer of melanocytes. Melanocytes are the cells that produce pigment. The pigment is known as melanin and gives your skin its color. However, it is the most dangerous kind of skin cancer. It can also develop in the eyes and, in rare cases, within the body, such as the nose or throat.

Although the specific origin of all skin cancer is unknown, ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun, tanning lights, and beds increase your chance of acquiring it. To reduce the risk, limit going under sunlight.

It risk appears to be rising in those under the age of 40, particularly among women. Moreover, knowing the signs and symptoms of skin cancer will help guarantee that malignant changes are recognized and treated before the disease spreads. The treatment is possible if the diagnosis happens in an early stage.

Melanoma Symptoms:

It usually appears on regions of your body that have been exposed to the sun, such as your back, legs, arms, and face.

It can also develop in regions that aren't exposed to the sun, such as the soles of your feet, palms of your hands, and the beds of your fingernails. People with darker skin are more likely to have concealed moles.

The following are common signs and symptoms:

A modification in a mole that already exists

A new pigmented or unusual-looking growth appears on your skin.

Normal Moles:

Normal moles are visible separately with a clear border that separates the mole from the surrounding skin. They're oval or round, and the diameter is generally less than a quarter-inch (approximately 6 millimeters) — roughly the size of a pencil eraser.

Moles occur in childhood and one can grow a mole until 40.. Most people have between 10 and 40 moles by the time they reach adulthood. Moles can change appearance over time, and some may even vanish as people become older.

Unusual Moles:

The letter “A” stands for asymmetrical form. Seem for moles with unusual forms, such as two parts that look completely different.

The letter “B” stands for "irregular border." Look for uneven, notched, or scalloped borders on moles, which are signs of melanomas.

Color changes are represented by the letter “C.” Look for growths with a variety of hues or an uneven color distribution.

The letter “D” stands for diameter. In a mole larger than 1/4 inch, look for fresh development (about 6 millimeters).

“E” stands for evolution. Examine for changes over time, such as a growing mole or changed color or form. Moles might sometimes acquire new signs and symptoms over time, such as itching or bleeding.

Moreover, you can even see some hidden moles:

Underneath a nail, there's a mole. Acral-lentiginous mole is an uncommon kind of mole that develops beneath the fingernail or toenail. It's also on the palms of the hands and the soles of the feet. Individuals of Asian origin, black people, and others with dark skin color are more likely to have it.

A mole of the mouth, gastrointestinal tract, urinary tract, or vaginal area. The mucous membrane that borders the nose, mouth, esophagus, anus, urinary system, and vagina produces a mucosal mole. Mucosal mole is particularly difficult to see since they can be confused for a variety of other, considerably more prevalent diseases.

In the eye, there is a mole. The most common location for eye melanoma treatment, also known as an ocular mole, is the uvea, which is the layer underneath the white of the eye (sclera). Mole in the eye can cause visual abnormalities and can be detected during an eye checkup.

Melanoma Treatment Immunotherapy:

Immunotherapy:

Cancer immunotherapy is a type of treatment that aids the immune system in detecting and attacking cancer cells. The immune system defends your body against illnesses produced by viruses and bacteria from the outside. It also acts to kill cancer cells and other aberrant cells in your body.

Your immune system can generally tell the difference between healthy, normal cells and sick ones, allowing it to fight just the defective cells. The immune system recognizes melanoma but does not perceive it as harmful in people with melanoma.

How does this Immunotherapy work?

Treatments that are administered systemically go via the bloodstream to all areas of the body. Systemic immunotherapy is for cancer done by doctors to treat metastatic cancer, which has spread from its initial site to various parts of the body.

Local therapies are administered directly to melanoma lesions, generally via injection. Melanoma cells in the treated lesions are infected and killed by local immunotherapy therapies. They may also elicit an immunological reaction.

Keytruda Melanoma:

It is an immunotherapy drug that works with your immune system to treat specific malignancies. It may make your immune system target healthy organs and tissues in any part of your body, causing them to malfunction. These issues can become serious or life-threatening, and can even result in death. It's possible to experience more than one of these issues at the same time.

These issues might arise at any moment throughout your therapy or even after it has stopped.

If you acquire any signs or symptoms of the following issues, or if they grow worse, call or visit your health care practitioner immediately soon. These aren't the only indications and symptoms of immune system issues that KEYTRUDA can cause:

Keytruda Melanoma Symptoms:

Cough, shortness of breath, or chest discomfort are all symptoms of lung issues.

Intestinal issues include diarrhea (loose stools) or more frequent bowel movements than normal; black, tarry, sticky, or bloody stools; and significant stomach-area (abdomen) discomfort or soreness.

Yellowing of the skin or the whites of your eyes; severe nausea or vomiting; discomfort on the right side of your stomach (abdomen); dark urine (tea-colored); or bleeding or bruising more readily than usual are all symptoms of a liver issue.

Hormone gland issues include persistent or unusual headaches, light sensitivity, eye problems, rapid heartbeat, increased sweating, extreme tiredness, weight gain or loss, feeling more hungry or thirsty than usual, more urination, hair loss, feeling cold, constipation, your voice becoming deeper, dizziness or fainting, and changes in mood or behavior.

Kidney issues include decreased urine output, blood in the urine, ankle edema, and a loss of appetite.

Rashes, itching, blistering, or peeling of the skin; painful sores or ulcers in the mouth, nose, throat, or genital area; fever or flu-like symptoms; enlarged lymph nodes are all examples of skin issues.

Other organs and tissues may also be affected. For example, Chest pain; irregular heartbeat; shortness of breath; swelling of the ankles; confusion; sleepiness; memory problems; changes in mood or behavior; stiff neck; balance problems; tingling or numbness of the arms or legs; double vision; blurry vision; sensitivity to light; eye pain; changes in eyesight are some of the signs and symptoms of these problems.

Melanoma Guidelines:

The recommendation specifies the sorts of biopsies that should be gathering the histopathologic information needed to make an accurate diagnosis of cutaneous mole and to guide further treatment.

Surgery is still the most effective therapy for cutaneous moles. For mole in situ, lentigo maligna type, and tissue sparing at physically limited locales, Mohs micrographic surgery and other phased excision methods can offer extensive peripheral margin histologic assessment as well as tissue sparing.

Because the cure rates associated with nonsurgical methods (imiquimod and conventional types of radiation therapy) are lower, they should only be explored if surgery is unfeasible or contraindicated, and only for a mole in situ, lentigo maligna type.

There is an improvement as treatment options for metastatic illness dramatically, especially in the adjuvant context, proper staging has become increasingly important and may include sentinel lymph node biopsy for the pathological staging of regional lymph nodes in suitable individuals.

To determine, the frequency and extent of cutaneous mole follow-up, which includes surveillance imaging, it is preferable to go for the stage of the illness, the risk of recurrence, and the risk of developing a new primary mole.

During pregnancy, genetic testing for inherited risk, and the management of dermatologic toxicity associated with a new therapy for advanced illness are all included in the recommendation.

Melanoma Diagnosis:

Examination of the body. Your physician will ask you questions about your medical history and inspect your skin for indications of disease.

Taking a tissue sample for testing (biopsy). Your doctor may suggest removing a sample of skin for testing to establish whether a suspected skin lesion is an infection.

Your doctor's recommendation for a biopsy procedure will be based on your specific scenario. When feasible, physicians usually advocate removing the whole tumor. A round blade is there to push into the skin around the worrisome mole in one popular procedure called a punch biopsy. Another procedure is an excisional biopsy.

To determine the stages:

Determine the thickness of the material. To access the mole thickness carefully inspect it under a microscope and measuring it with a specific instrument. A thickness aids doctors in deciding on a treatment strategy. In general, the more serious the illness, the thicker the tumor.

Thinner moles may simply need surgery to remove the malignancy and some surrounding normal tissue. If your mole is thicker, your doctor may suggest more testing to check if the disease has spread before deciding on treatment choices.

Examine the lymph nodes to see if the infection has spread. If there's a chance that cancer has progressed to the lymph nodes, your doctor could suggest a sentinel node biopsy.

Look for cancer indications that go beyond the skin. Doctors may prescribe imaging scans for patients with advanced moles to check for evidence that the disease has spread to other parts of the body.

Other variables that may influence the likelihood of cancer spreading (metastasis) include the presence of an open sore (ulceration) on the skin over the affected area and the number of dividing cancer cells (mitosis) seen under a microscope.

Treatment Options:

Surgical Operation:

During an operation, the doctor removes the tumor and some surrounding healthy tissue. A surgical oncologist is generally the one who performs this surgery.

Treatment of Patients with local disease and most people with the regional disease is curable with surgery. Surgery may be an option for some patients with metastatic disease.

Melanoma may also get its name as "unresectable" if surgery is not a possibility. Doctors will evaluate the stage of the disease as well as the patient's unique risk of recurrence when prescribing a treatment strategy.

How a surgeon performs surgery on the patient?

The primary therapy for the disease is the surgical removal of the original disease on the skin, often known as excision. To determine the thickness of the disease, the surgery scope is preferable. The discovery of the majority of diseases takes place when they are less than 1.0 mm thick, and outpatient surgery is frequently the sole option.

A doctor removes the tumor, under-the-skin tissue, and some healthy tissue around it, called a margin, to ensure that no cancer cells remain.

The surgeon injects a dye and a radioactive tracer into the tumor region during this surgical operation. This is done to determine which lymph nodes may be implicated and whether the disease has spread to them.

During these operations, the surgeon removes one or more sentinel lymph nodes (lymph nodes that take up the dye and/or radioactive tracer) to look for disease cells. No additional lymph node surgery is necessary when a doctor doesn't detect disease cancer cells in the sentinel lymph node(s).

A positive sentinel lymph node is one that has it in the sentinel lymph nodes. This indicates that the illness has spread and that lymph node dissection may be necessary.

More options:

A positive sentinel lymph node is one in which biopsy findings reveal that malignancy discovery in the sentinel lymph nodes. This indicates that the infection has spread.

Generally, more lymph nodes are cut-off, by a procedure known as full lymph node dissection (CLND). Recent evidence, however, suggests that this treatment has little effect on how long patients live.

Usually, ultrasound, close monitoring with regular physical exams, and lymph node ultrasounds are suggested instead of a CLND in most cases.

There are many more treatment options to treat melanoma.

Conclusion:

In the conclusion, melanoma can be treated correctly if diagnosed early. Hence, if someone is suspecting the changes in their moles as mentioned in this article, they should contact an appropriate doctor. There is no need to panic because there are some treatments available to treat melanoma.

Furthermore, this article covers all about melanoma treatment, diagnosis, and its symptoms. Moreover, it will clear all the doubts regarding the concept of keytruda melanoma.
