#these men are on some form of antidepressant

[vanillinwrites]

Hello I tried my best to look at everything with your rules and what you usually are comfortable with writing, but I might have missed something, and so if this request makes you uncomfortable, please yell at me.

But I’ve been going through a lot of your HxH writings, specifically the headcannons with the phantom troupe, and it made me think of something. You’ve written for a reader who needs meds (I believe it was based around antidepressants but if I’m wrong I’m so sorry), but how would the Yandere’s in the Phantom Troupe respond to a darling like me, who needs to take birth control due to painful periods? Like, I know that many have headcannoned that there’s the Male Yanderes who’d want to get their Darlings pregnant, but would their opinions change if birth control helps their Darlings quality of life?

I’m so sorry for ranting but here’s a summary of my yap: How would Male yandere Phantom Troupe respond to their Darling taking birth control to help with periods, and would it change their minds if they wanted to get their Darling pregnant.

Again I’m so sorry if I misunderstood your rules and please feel free to block or hate me. Also I’m sorry for saying sorry so much I’m just Canadian and afraid of saying the wrong thing.

Yanderes opinions on birth control--

I actually don't think many of the yanderes in hxh want to get their darling pregnant in the first place. Most don't like the idea of having to share their darling's time and attention, and most don't adore the idea of parenthood to begin with. For this reason; i actually think most yanderes would be ok with their darling being on birth control. Some who are more opposed to children might even encourage or force their darling to take it.

I think if anything, several yanderes don't want to use condoms specifically (most will, if you put up enough of a fit about it), so darling using other forms of birth control are actually ideal for them, as they can avoid pregnancy without having to worry about condoms. 

-uvogin, phinks, shalnark, feitan, milluki and hisoka are in this category. 

Several yanderes are obsessed with their darling's well-being, wanting their darling to be pampered and happy at all times. These yanderes will almost always prioritise their darling's wants and needs over anything else, and will go out of their way to minimize their darling's pain when they can. With this in mind, they will allow birth control for the good of their darling, and will also do anything within their power to comfort their darling through any pain that remains.

-chrollo, pakunoda, machi, franklin, and leorio are this type.

Yanderes who don't have strong opinions, they will get birth control for you if asked, but likely never think of it themselves. It’s not that they don’t worry about you when you’re in pain, but I don’t think they are very proactive about their attempts to comfort you through your period. In the case of the girls, they don’t consider birth control because they can’t get you pregnant. In the case of the men, they don’t think very much about your period besides doing what they can to comfort you when you’re in pain. Either way, if you want to be on birth control while you’re in their care, you’ll have to muster up the courage to ask.

-neon, shizuku, pariston, milluki

Yanderes who are a little resistant to the idea, for one reason or another, and need to be convinced. Maybe it’s the inconvenience, maybe it’s the negative side effects it could have on your mood or health, maybe it’s something else… but these yanderes need to think about it before agreeing. It’s a big decision to take medicines for anything, and they want to look into all of your options before committing to something.

Sal Headcannons: Part 2

I've decided to make another headcannons post, so here's part 2 of my Sal headcannons. CW for mentions of self-harm.

His favorite skirts are long skirts.

Sal really enjoys urban exploration, and as a result of chronically breaking and entering into locked up, abandoned or condemned buildings, he has been arrested 3 separate times for trespassing. He's gotten really good at breaking into buildings, though, especially with Larry's help.

He wears long-sleeved rash guards whenever he goes swimming, partly to protect him from getting burned, partly because he's insecure and wants to cover up his self-harm scars.

One time he went to a thrift store and found a pair of low-rise women's jeans that he tried on, and they changed his life. Before, he mostly assumed that women's jeans weren't that different from men's jeans, but quickly found himself completely wrong, and he really enjoys the way women's jeans fit and shape the wearer into their form.

Despite Larry's initial complaints, Sal loves girlpop artists like the Spice Girls, Solid Harmonie, Britney Spears, Mariah Carrey, and more. He's generally a fan of all kinds of feel-good pop. He really enjoys practicing his guitar to them and doing little metal covers for himself and his friends.

Sal is not very good at singing in any way other than the styles and techniques most commonly used in rock and particularly metal. He doesn't have the most control over his voice melodically outside of the basics, (as in, he can sing on-key), but outside of that, he can't sing a song without everyone knowing that he's primarily a metal singer.

Sal has small hands, and as a result, the guitar he plays is actually a kid's size guitar because the neck of a typical guitar is too big for him.

Sal is well aware that his mask is very unnerving to a lot of people, which is why he generally tries to make himself as approachable as possible to other people. That said, if he feels like he needs to be for whatever reason, he has no trouble turning that back in order to make himself as unnerving and intimidating as possible. Typically he does it in order to get other people to fuck off, but it's also very effective at creating awkward silences if he ever needs to produce one.

Due to his brain damage causing a lot of difficulties reading, Sal prefers visual or auditory mediums such as film or TV, and radio or audiobooks. Another bonus to not enjoying reading very much is that he can practice his guitar while engaging in these hobbies much more easily than he can when reading.

Despite his troubles with reading, Sal still has a lot of journals that he's kept over the years as a part of emotional processing. Some of them are full, some of them are half-full, and he has trouble journaling consistently at times. They're full of writing as much as they're full of sketches and scribbles. The most common method of journaling he employs is stream of consciousness writing, which leads to some truly incomprehensible entries due to ADHD, and it gets even more so around dates related to traumas that he's experienced.

For a long time, he thought about going back to Jersey on some kind of special trip with all of his friends, to show them things like where he grew up. It would've been a trip symbolizing his own personal growth, and sharing something deep and incredibly personal with his favorite people.

Due to his experiences with doctors, he strongly advises his friends against going to doctors alone, and hates going to doctors for checkups and the like. He'll put off going to a doctor until he's incapacitated if he can, and it's a huge reason that he isn't in therapy.

The only psychiatric help Sal gets until 1999 is the psychiatric medications, which he has a bit of a mixed history with. He has a tendency to go on and off his antidepressants, mostly just due to forgetting but other times it's due to what he talked about in episode 5, where they cause numbness and other emotional side effects. This can cause a lot of spikes and dips in his mood at times, and it's part of why Ash wasn't incredibly shocked that Sal wasn't on his meds at the time of the murders.

He had a difficult time trusting Dr. Enon at first because of his distrust of doctors, but after a certain point, he broke through it because he realized exactly how much shit he was in, and how much more shit he would be in if he didn't talk.

I like to think that at some point, Sal does make the connection that the cult is responsible for his mother's death and what happened to his face, and that there was an incredible breakdown in the aftermath of that discovery because it suddenly became a lot more personal than he'd ever realized it would be. I think it would've been at a point close to when the murders happened, and that on top of the darkness and his lack of meds, it all contributed to Sal's feelings of dread. Ash did not know that this discovery had been made at the time of the murders, and had to figure that out by going through Todd and Sal's notes with Neil afterward.

When he lived in Jersey, he used to go up to an abandoned/squatter house near his own and he would punch the walls until his knuckles bled as a way of dealing with his frustrations at the time. It's because of this that there are some old scars on his knuckles, but he hasn't done anything like that in a long time.

Sal has a bit of a codependent relationship with Larry that Larry enables due to his own issues. Sal relies pretty heavily on Larry for support, and Larry, being such a strong figure among his friends sees Sal as someone in need of his help. He somewhat infantilizes Sal while feeling obligated to protect/help him to the point of exhaustion. At the same time, Sal is genuinely someone who needs a lot of support with his disabilities and mental health issues, but he has no idea how to set boundaries for himself or the people supporting him, and has few coping mechanisms for himself to ensure those boundaries are stable. He struggles to rely on himself and find strength within himself to handle when the bad thoughts get worse. This all comes together to create a somewhat codependent relationship between the two of them because they both need therapy and won't get it. It's not severe, but it is exhausting for the both of them at times.

In a similar vein, Sal is acutely aware of Larry's mild infantilization of him, and he hates it a lot. It's something that negatively impacts his mental health, and he's got it from a lot of people, his friends included, over the years, but he's afraid to bring it up because he's scared that they won't take him seriously. It's not something they're actively aware of or doing on purpose, it's mostly just a result of them being worried about Sal and wanting to take care of him, they just end up trying to take care of him a little too hard. This is fed into somewhat by Sal's fear of setting strong boundaries with other people.

This is part of what draws Sal to Travis in the beginning, though. Travis is an asshole who treats most people rather poorly in an effort to push them away, and Sal isn't anyone special to him. His general bluntness and serrated attitude draw Sal to him greatly because he's not afraid to be mean to Sal. Sal quickly develops an attachment to Travis because he wants to Fix Him, because Sal copes by getting into other people's business and he has 'I Can Fix Them' syndrome.

He can't, though. He can barely fix himself, let alone other people. Lol.

Yikes, reading some of these messages hit a little too close to home.

I'm a trans man, and my relationship with masculinity has been more rocky as recently. I started T and realized I have much more dysphoria than I realized because I was ignoring it. And I've experienced my fair share of transphobia.

I've had classmates say (jokingly, I know) that I'll start becoming entitled, and a misogynist because I started T. In a university level queer studies class, they all had certain distaste for men. The expectation was that they would shut up and not talk over the woman's experiences (to be fair, I was one of 2 men in that class). Even one of my closest friends has issues with hating men that I've meant to bring up (I'm the exception because I'm trans and don't really look like a man most of the time). But I've always brushed it off, saying that "trans women have it worse" or "this is what I get for becoming the 'enemy'".

It took me a long time to even admit I was trans because I know that men were "the enemy" and I was betraying people by becoming one.

That anon who said that he didn't want to become a Twink, oof I relate to that. It wasn't until I got into TF2 that I realized what kind of form I wanted (Engineer and Soldier being major players in this realization).

You are the only one I've ever really seen talking about masculinity. Like ever, and I've been in queer spaces for a very long time. It's comforting to know that my struggles are real. And aren't being brushed off as "well xxxx have it worse." (I know. I know other trans people have their struggles and should not be treated as irrelevant. I know that. But I never see anyone talking about masculinity. It's treated as a disease almost).

I'm rambling, but I guess I just wanted to say thanks. I rarely talk to anyone on the Internet, content to just observe, but you've really made me feel seen. So thank you

I don't wanna be the one to break it to you, but if someone says they hate men and say you're an exception because you're trans or don't look enough like a cis man, it's because they're transphobic and don't see you as a "real" man. And that will change when you start passing and getting clocked as male, and it'll especially change when you express any joy in what testosterone is doing to your body or any joy in being perceived as male. You're most likely an exception because they don't see you as a man yet even though you are one.

Additionally I don't know how long you've been out, but since you're just starting on T, this means people have probably been clocking you and IDing you as female most of your life. Which means you have every right to discuss women's issues and misogyny because you have been subjected to misogyny. NO ONE gets to just erase your lived experiences growing up in a female body and being subjected to misogyny just because you are now openly identifying as male.

And we don't choose our gender. We're born this way, remember? You're betraying no one by "becoming" a man because you were born a man. At most you're making a choice to change your body to ease the symptoms of an illness—gender dysphoria—and I don't see anyone copping shit with depressed people for taking antidepressants. You're not on some random drug, you are specifically on a medication to treat an illness that you have. If people don't like that because of what variant of that illness you have, they can get fucked. They are not worth your time.

You are 100% valid in your experiences and feelings. I'm glad that I can offer a safe space for you to speak about those things.

Also, if I can suggest, it might do you some good to join a club of some kind with a lot of men where you can see masculinity be celebrated in a positive light instead of demonised. I'm not sure if you're into hunting or fishing, but those are my best suggestions. An archery club, a hunting club, a fishing club, etc. Hang out at your local bait shop looking like a sad puppy and some old fart'll find you and invite you fishing.

Chookas, mate. Keep your chin up. You're doing fine.

[bullshit-usa]

how do you deal with the dysphoria because of your body and sex? it genuinely makes me wanna kms to know that i will never be male(and im not saing this as a manipulation tactic or something), i cannot ever imagine a future in which im not male and not wanna kms bc of it. but i also know even if i transitioned i wont be an actual man, just a retarded and stupid looking, weak imitation of one at best, but even with all the health and life issues it will bring me, transition the closest i can get to a version of myself that i dont absolutely despise and i could maybe start living instead if spending all day agonising about my horrible luck of being born female.

This will be a little hard for me to answer since my reason for transitioning wasn't necessarily gender dysphoria; it was part of it, but my main desire was to escape my deformity. I wanted to look completely different and shed any evidence that I had it. I wanted to live a life where I would never have to tell anyone and face the pity, disappointment, and condescension that followed.

So, although I'm not transitioning anymore, I am still seeking surgery to hide my deformity. Transitioning allowed me to hide even further and shed any evidence of who I once was and become the men I have admired in my life. I never had a strong mother figure during my formative years due to custody battles, and my mom is very emotionally closed off, like I am, so it was hard for me then and hard for me now to identify with women.

So when it comes to bad luck, don't worry, I have plenty of it...I was born with a condition that happens in 1 in 200,000. I understand the feeling of being cursed and how I feels like statistics completely fucked you over. But at the same time, this condition is all I've ever known so I cannot imagine a future without it because that will never come. Unlike your biological sex, mine is a physical condition that deprives me of the freedoms everyone else has, and even after surgery, there will still be vestiges of my condition. So ironically enough, it's like I'm still transitioning, from a freak to someone who, hopefully, I pray to God for this every day, will at the very least look normal. I wish for simple insecurities over a lazy eye, acne scars, and an unsymmetrical face. I have that and then some.

So my advice is to really let yourself feel the agony of your existence and allow yourself to mull over it. Allow yourself to feel despair over it. But remember that even if you die, people's memories of you will still be of you being female. You can't escape it even in death. There's no point in dying, because it will never give you what you want, it won't give you peace if your definition of peace comes from you being male. Death will secure your existence as just being a dead woman and nothing more, and it will prevent any chance of you possibly getting over this pain and being able to live your life free from the despair of being female.

That sadness may always exist in some form and you may have moments 20 years down the line when you can't help but cry over it, but through life, you can find distractions. So even if you never get over it, but let's be real - gender dysphoria can be cured through therapy and antidepressants, while nothing can cure my condition.

But you can still live a life that is fulfilling by doing all you can to make sure the good of life outweighs the bad. Pursue a career you enjoy, get married, have kids, don't go down paths that will cause you more despair (gambling, drugs, alcohol), because those things will create moments where you have lost everything and you have no other choice but to be in agony over those decisions, which will remind you of you being female, which will create another layer of agony on top of it.

I understand this sounds contradictory, and it's because it is. If there is a slim 0.5% chance of you never being cured of dysphoria, you can still maintain a balance between acceptance and ignoring your feelings. Understand that the sadness may always be there, but make sure you can balance that underlying sadness with constant underlying happiness that can come from a successful career or a large family. They'll balance each other out. Your feelings on life will become neutral, and you'll keep moving along like everyone else.

Everyone on Earth struggles, but happiness exists despite it. Or hell, become a masochist so you'll find happiness in suffering. Who the hell knows.

Factitious Disorder - An overview

N Percent

Gender  Male 176 34.2  Female 336 65.4 Marital status  Unmarried 62 30.4  Married 97 47.5  Separated/divorced/widowed 45 22.0 Age (years)  Total mean 33.5  Male 35  Female 32.8 Total range 18–73  Male range 19–67  Female range 18–73 Comorbid psychopathology 239 46.5 Occupation  Health care profession 113 22.0  Others 94 18.3

During hospitalization, 65.8% of patients got a psychiatric consultation. The remaining 34.2% of patients refused or did not have the consultation.

Among the factors considered to be relevant to diagnose these disorders, the exclusion of other organic or psychiatric causes is the most represented, observed in 91.1% of cases.

An atypical presentation is another key issue (89.3%), which implies that the patient’s symptoms or the clinical course of the presumed condition is unusual, sometimes associated with incongruous instrumental findings. In some cases, it is also possible to observe an exacerbation of the symptoms in the presence of the medical staff or, on the contrary, in the absence of any witnesses.

Another important parameter is patient’s unusual behavior (86.2%), followed by treatment failure and/or high disease recurrence (83.7%).

The demographic profile of the sample shows a prevalence of female. The data support the hypothesis of several case reports and reviews that FD occur mainly in women.3,9,10 However, other studies published in the literature show a clear prevalence in male gender. This illusory disagreement finds an explanation in Freyberger’s words, who asserts that there is a prevalence of men in clinical trials for Munchausen Syndrome, while the women are most common in the classic form of FD with a ratio of 3:1.11

A disorder in which one pretends to be sick, by self-injury or making themselves sick.

Therapy

Psychotherapy:To help the patient recognise and acknowledge the problem. Also helps them learn coping skills.

Cognitive behaviour therapy:To bring changes in the person’s thinking and behaviour.

Medication

Antidepressants: To treat the associated depression.

Sertraline . Citalopram

Antianxiety drugs: To treat the associated anxiety.

Lorazepam . Diazepam

Rare (Fewer than 10,000 cases per year in Australia)

Treatments can help manage condition, no known cure

Doesn't require lab test or imaging

Can last several years or be lifelong

Common for ages 20-40

Symptoms of factitious disorder include:

Exaggeration of symptoms

Faking symptoms; inconsistencies in the symptoms reported

Dramatic presentation

Presence of symptoms only while being observed

Willingness and eagerness to have diagnostic tests or other procedures

Long medical records of multiple admissions to different hospitals

Reluctance by the patient to allow interaction of doctors with family members

Having a vast knowledge of the diseases one claims to have

Many surgical scars

Self-harm for example by injecting oneself with bacteria or gasoline

Tampering diagnostic results e.g., by heating a thermometer

Causes

The exact cause is unknown but it is attributed to psychological factors.

Risk factors for developing the disorder include:

Depression

Low self-esteem

Child abuse

History of illnesses that required hospitalisation

Personality disorders

Desire to be a healthcare professional

Loss of a loved one

Ace Week

It's Ace Week, which used to be International Asexuality Awareness Week, but is now an entire week of Ace Awareness, which seems like a trick, to be honest. An exhausting trick.

Asexuality is a broad term under which huddle asexuals, aromantics and various other forms of bodily and non-bodily horror. Occasionally this feels a little "misc", and I personally find myself swinging between "If this new label under Asexuality means you find comfort, then welcome friend" and "No, there's a whole other letter for that, quit it". I err on the side of not being a dick to anyone who didn't start it.

These days my personal description is that I am a Straight* Asexual† Cis Male‡

Some of this is undoubtably medically induced. In that I would have described myself more as grey-ace before I was on antidepressants, but definitively black & white afterwards. Since I don't see spontaneous remission from chronic depression on my 202X bingo card, and even if it did the situational depression would fill the space like a river into a crater, I don't think that's changing any time soon.

It took me a long time to get as far as "Ace". I had no idea the term existed until I saw the phrase "grey ace" in a friend's twitter bio, looking it up, and filing that information in my brain as "That seems just how attraction works?"

Reader: This was a clue, and I missed it.

I pottered along for a while in my normal depressed lifestyle, not really understanding a whole load of mass media stuff, and assuming my absolute lack of any kind of sex drive was part of the whole "Depressed, broken, unneeded" package. Discovered polyamory, had some extremely disappointing (for them) experiences, found joy in giving, etc.

Then I finally hoisted the stones necessary to go to the doctor about the facts that a) My pillows smelt of honey and b) The world was a horrific landscape in dark monochrome that was devouring my soul in tiny painful bites. I was diagnosed with depression and type-two diabetes, though not in list order.

My world was not magically improved by antidepressants, but it upped the brightness, downed the contrast, and brought saturation back to my worldview. I rediscovered the concept of asexuality via friends, and it clicked a lot more. I experimented with the new label in the traditional method of my people: I created a LARP character who identified with it (A Watcher at a Buffy LARP), and explored how it filtered my worldview. Which it didn't. So I was obviously doing it wrong.

To make a long post less colours-of-the-sky, it took me a long time to come to asexuality. A lot of it was tied up in my views of what I "should" be, and what "normal" is. I still don't know where the edges of it are. Is any lack of attraction a form of asexuality? Are "sapiosexuals" asexual because they aren't attracted to (people they assume are) stupid? Is saying they can't have a bit of this space gatekeeping? (I saw an asexuality label that described women who were attracted to men and not at all to other women, and I felt guilty for my initial reaction requesting decolonisation of my lawn).

But I find it a handy label for my desire to stay out of anyone's pants save my own, and a remarkably chill community to be a part of.

So yes, I am Aquarion (or alias milamber, or whatever) and I'm Ace. This is my week. You can see me.

Feetneat follow

* BWIM my attraction has hithertofor been almost entirely towards people who my brain parses as "not male" with a certain amount of software-correction if lizard-brain is misgendering people.

† Specifically asexual and not aromantic, but very much of the "sure sex is nice, but have you ever slid into a bath that was the perfect temperature?" school.

‡ Not that I've ever really been comfortable in "male" spaces, but it's the thing that fits rounded to the nearest label. Anyone who believes my enjoyment of skirts and uses the phrase "egg" near to it will be subjected to a small rant about gender stereotypes.

¶ … journal articles regarding migraines caused by stress. Migraines are one of the most pervasive forms of headache pain, and many researchers have looked extensively into their causes. However, much about migraines is still elusive to the health care profession, and some still do not take migraine pain as seriously as they see other forms of pain. Many studies have been conducted that indicate stress can be a major factor in causing at least some forms of migraines, and treating the stress in a patient's life can often lead to a reduction in migraine pain and reoccurrence. Migraine headaches are quite painful for their sufferers, and often difficult to control or eliminate. Patients report feeling a severe throbbing or aching, normally in one side of the head, which often does not respond to normal painkillers. There can be sensitivity to light or noise, nausea, vomiting, and intense pain in the area of the headache. Often, a migraine attack is predicted by an aura of light the patient sees before the pain begins. More women suffer migraines than men, and they tend to hit the 35- to 45-year-old age group the hardest (Block, Kremer, and Fernandez 9). It is believed migraines are caused by a restriction of the blood vessels in the area of the brain where the pain is centered, and in the 1990s, the drug Imitrex came on the market to specifically treat these restricted blood vessels. It quickly opens up the vessels to their normal size and relieves the pain. Other therapies include a new set of drugs developed specifically for migraines, plus removing certain foods from the diet that may be triggers, and even biofeedback to reduce stress and manage the pain in patients. Mild migraines may respond to over-the-counter aspirin or pain-relief therapies. It is estimated migraines cause "an annual loss in employee productivity of $17 billion a year, they are often treated as less than legitimate illnesses by employers, family members, and friends as well as health care providers who often view headaches as having a psychosomatic etiology" (Degges-White et al.). Some physicians may not fully understand the debilitating pain of migraines, and so may not treat them accordingly. Clearly, migraines cause lost work time, increased health care costs, and additional stress in a life that may already be overstressed to begin with. Many studies indicate migraines are caused by a variety of other physiological triggers, including bright light, certain foods (most notably red wines and aged cheeses), certain smells, unbalanced sleep patterns, and hormonal changes or imbalances in women (Degges-White et al.). Some of these triggers can be treated by avoidance, and some, such as hormonal imbalances, are treated with a variety of drugs, from birth control pills to certain types of low-dose antidepressants. Some physicians also believe there are certain personality traits that lead themselves to migraines. One German doctor reports, "In reports based on clinical observations, typical migraineurs are generally described as ambitious, perfectionistic, rigid, obsessional, and very achievement-oriented people who, because of their characteristic anxiety and lack of self-confidence have great difficulty in expressing their feelings adequately" (Henrich). Thus, migraine sufferers may have several physiological causes of migraine affecting their pain and pain management. However, most of these causes can also be linked to stress, and stressors in daily life. The "American Heritage Dictionary" defines stress as, "A mentally or emotionally disruptive or upsetting condition occurring in response to adverse external influences and capable of affecting physical health." Stress affects nearly every person at one time or another and some people are more prone to the condition than others. There are some occurrences in life that are more stressful and difficult to deal with, such as death, divorce, marriage, the birth of a child, and relocating to a new home or area. Stress is also a major cause of migraines, and numerous studies have been done linking stress to migraine pain. These professionals state, For instance, the mechanisms of migraine headache are relatively well understood to be triggered at least in part by vasoconstriction resulting from chronic stress. This is contrasted with the studies investigating the surface electromyographic (EMG) studies of chronic low back pain (CLBP), which have shown virtually every conceivable relationship between muscle tension and pain (Block, Kremer, and Fernandez 33). Thus, there are many different types of pain, and many different causes of pain, but stress is recognized as a direct cause in many patients with migraines. Studies also indicate that many migraine sufferers have poor coping mechanisms for both stress and their conditions, and so stress affects them more strongly, thus leading to migraine pain as a result of stress (Degges-White et al.). As already noted, migraines cause lost work, increased health care costs, and many co-workers, friends, and loved ones may not understand the severity of the condition, or the extreme pain involved, and so may downplay the actual condition. This could add to the stress that might already be aiding the condition, creating a never-ending circle of stress, pain, stress, pain, to infinity. Many migraine sufferers feel there is no way out of this circle of pain and stress, and some have even considered suicide as a way to end the pain. Many studies seem to indicate that it is not major stress points in life, such as death, marriage, birth of a child, etc., that are the biggest causes of migraine, it is the small, "daily hassles" that all add up to headache pain. Doctor Henrich continues, "The association between external stress and migraine has been demonstrated repeatedly. Minor hassles and not major life events are associated with an increase in the frequency of migraine attacks" (Henrich). Headaches are also geared in some ways to how patients handle these day-to-day stressors. Many physicians urge their patients to practice some kind of stress management to reduce the number and severity of their headaches. Doctor Henrich maintains, "In particular, migraine patients seem to deal with stress more frequently by problem avoidance, self-criticism, wishful thinking, catastrophizing, and social withdrawal -- by using coping strategies that, in the end, serve to maintain stress rather than reduce it" (Henrich). If migraine patients can learn to change some of these behaviors, then they may be able to more effectively control their headache pain, along with many of the stressors in their lives. There are a number of drug and preventative treatments on the market today geared specifically to reducing or removing migraine pain. Another treatment that has had success in many patients is biofeedback. These researchers note, Finally, Holroyd and Penzien used meta-analysis to compare the relative efficacy of behavioral interventions to propranolol in treatment of recurrent migraine headache. In the literature reviewed, 73 studies provided usable date with 60 treatment groups and 37 control groups. Behavioral treatment was defined as relaxation training of some form (e.g., progressive muscular relaxation, autogenic training, etc.) and thermal biofeedback. The meta-analysis indicated that average group percent improvement for both groups was 55.1% as compared to 12.2% for placebo and 1.1% for untreated patients (Block, Kremer, and Fernandez 294). Biofeedback teaches the patient to relax, manage the pain, and use these new skills to reduce or remove the pain when a migraine attack occurs. As the previous study indicates biofeedback can be very successful in many migraine situations, especially where the migraines are induced by stress. Teaching the patient to manage their stress and their pain is a valuable tool in these cases. How does biofeedback work? One case study of a patient named Barbara, who used biofeedback to manage her migraine pain, may give more insight into the effectiveness of biofeedback treatment. Barbara's migraines seemed to stem from childhood angst with her father. She sought treatment from a psychiatrist because she had learned some migraines can be caused by repressed anger (another form of stress). Her psychiatrist was also a certified biofeedback therapist, and used thermal biofeedback as part of the therapy. A researcher writing about Barbara and her treatment notes, During the twelve sessions of biofeedback, Barbara learned to control her temperature with her imagery of openness and began to generalize the technique to her home and work situations. Whenever she experienced signals of an upcoming headache, she would begin her relaxation scheme. If she denied herself this relaxation method, the migraine headache would seize her and nothing would help. Within a short time period, she became adept at avoiding the migraine symptoms with prevention behaviors (Lowlis 209). There are many other studies that indicate biofeedback is an effective method of managing stress, and managing migraines. It seems that more studies must be conducted to fully analyze the many ways stress can affect the body and the mind. It is clear the physiological condition of stress can create havoc in a person's life and work, leading to both mental and physical problems that often linger long after the stress has disappeared. Stress management techniques seem to be called for in the treatment of most migraine headaches, and in many cases they seem to create a more fulfilling life for the people who learn how to use them. Health care professionals may not clearly understand the many ways stress can affect the body, and so, patients with migraines and other problems that seem to be triggered by stress would be wise to discuss their thoughts with their physician, and perhaps seek alternative forms of therapy that treat the stress, and well as the result. In conclusion, it seems clear from these and many other studies that stress can be a major cause of mild to severe migraine headaches. Many physicians treat their patients not only for the pain, but to help them reduce stress from their daily lives to reduce the occurrence of these debilitating headaches. Stress can have a strong negative effect on the body, as these studies indicate. Managing stress may not simply be a quality of life issue. For many, managing stress can also be the key to a more healthy, pain-free life. References Block, Andrew R., Edwin F. Kremer, and Ephrem Fernandez, eds.

What Causes Inability to Urinate in Males? 6 Reasons

Men who experience urinary retention have trouble while trying to urinate. This obviously leads to substantial discomfort and worry for most men who haven’t experienced something like this before in their life.

In this case, their bladder often feels full yet it cannot release urine completely or at all.

As a matter of fact, men experience urinary retention more frequently than women as they grow older because of anatomical differences between genders and conditions related to aging.

All in all, males who are experiencing bladder fullness yet are unable to empty their bladder do not only experience discomfort it can also cause severe pain and can be a potentially dangerous situation, if treatment is not given within time.

Thus, immediate medical attention is necessary if someone experiences constant or a sudden inability to urinate.

Identifying both the causes and treatment options is a crucial step for early intervention to prevent serious issues like urinary tract infections, bladder damage, or kidney problems due to urinary blockage.

This blog today investigates why men experience urinary retention and presents successful treatment strategies for those who are already suffering.

What Causes Inability to Urinate in Males? 6 Reasons

Following are some of the common reasons why men may not be able to urinate properly.

1. Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)

Enlargement of the prostate gland is among the top reasons that cause inability to urinate in a man.

The prostate's natural enlargement occurs with age, and it may lead to urethral compression and reduced urine flow.

This medical condition is actually common among older men as compared to younger men.

It impacts half of men who are over 50 years old while up to 90% of men who are 80 years old and older show symptoms of this condition.

The development of symptoms occurs slowly. Some signs that you might notice include a weak urine stream along with frequent urination, particularly during the nighttime, and a sensation that the bladder remains filled even after you have urinated.

BPH requires you to seek medical treatment, and it’s not something you should take for granted.

Thus, it’s important to consult the best urologist doctor in Patna for proper medical assessment and treatment of BPH.

2. Urethral Stricture

Urethral stricture can cause significant urine blockage in males due to a narrowing of their urethra.

The narrowing of urethra can develop because of inflammation or scar tissue that forms after trauma as well as from infections or surgical operations.

A narrowing urethra limits urine flow which can also develop into total obstruction over time.

Patients with urethral strictures usually report a weaker stream during urination, spraying of the urine stream, and longer bladder emptying times.

3. Neurological Conditions

Neurological disorders disrupt nerve communications between the brain and bladder. This is the main reason why some men can experience urination difficulties when there’s a neurological issue.

Multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, stroke events, spinal cord injuries, or diabetic neuropathy are some conditions that can obstruct the coordination that is necessary for normal urination processes to take place.

If nerve pathways become damaged, the brain might fail to detect bladder fullness or the bladder muscles may not receive instructions to contract for urination.

4. Medications

You might not know this but multiple medications have the potential to lead to conditions that can cause the symptoms of urinary retention.

Thus, you should evaluate the medicines you are taking currently if you have recently started to notice symptoms.

Anticholinergics (for overactive bladder treatment, depression, and allergies), some antipsychotics, certain antidepressants, opioid pain relievers, and decongestants can disrupt normal bladder function.

Also, certain medications work by relaxing bladder muscles or tightening the urethral sphincter. These changes will also make urinating challenging for you.

So, people who begin new medication and experience the sensation of feeling like they have to pee but nothing comes out should seek advice from their healthcare provider immediately.

Your doctor may modify your present treatment or even change the medications that you are taking.

5. Urinary Tract Infections and Inflammation

Oftentimes, swelling from urinary infections and inflammation can lead to blocked urine flow pathways.

Well, if you have an existing bacterial infection in your urinary system, it can initiate inflammatory responses.

This ends up causing narrowing of your urinary passage, thus creating difficulties while urinating.

While less common, men can also develop UTIs. In fact, men who get UTIs often develop more serious symptoms than women, and these complications also include an inability to pee.

6. Kidney or Bladder Stones

Kidney stones have the potential to move through the urinary tract before becoming lodged in specific areas which block urine flow. Bladder stones have the potential to obstruct the bladder outlet.

In fact, these mineral deposits can result in urinary retention for both females and males but present differently because of the anatomical variations.

Mineral deposits usually lead to intermittent blockages accompanied by intense pain, bloody urine and also fever, if infection occurs. Treatment Options

Treatment methods for male urinary retention differ according to the diagnosis and severity of the condition.

Catheterization offers immediate bladder drainage to relieve complete urinary retention in the case of emergencies.

Alpha-blockers, used if the cause is BPH, help relax the muscles in the prostate and bladder neck while 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors gradually reduce prostate size.

The surgical treatments available for prostate issues consist of transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) and laser procedures as well as minimally invasive methods to decrease prostate tissue.

On the other hand, patients who are experiencing an inability to urinate due to urethral strictures might need dilation methods or surgical techniques including internal urethrotomy and reconstructive surgery.

Urinary retention treatment caused by neurological issues targets the underlying condition while potentially involving clean intermittent catheterization or drugs that enhance bladder emptying.

As mentioned, sometimes medications also cause the symptoms of urinary retention.

In these cases, patients typically see symptom relief through medication dosage changes or even medication replacements. Antibiotics successfully treat retentions caused by infections.

Moreover, lithotripsy or surgical intervention can successfully resolve stone blockages that are causing obstruction in the urine flow.

Consult a Urologist Today!

Urinary retention is a serious health risk because it may result in severe complications without proper treatment.

Not to mention, the complications arising from urinary retention often disrupt your daily routine and quality of life.

Urinary retention can have multiple root causes, and finding out what is causing the symptoms in your case requires clinical evaluation by your doctor. The symptoms often stem from simple issues like enlarged prostate to even complex neurological problems.

Even lesser known fact is that side effects from medications also have the potential to cause similar complications for men.

The only way forward is the early identification of warning signs followed by immediate medical consultation. This reduces complications while improving treatment success.

Moreover, men who are experiencing trouble while urinating must seek immediate medical attention. This is especially important in cases when symptoms have appeared abruptly or are causing pain.

The best super speciality hospital in Patna, Big Apollo Spectra, delivers complete urological care with state-of-the-art diagnostic facilities.

The treatment methods available at the hospital address every possible cause of urinary retention, and you get treated under the care of the best urologists.

Accurate diagnosis and personalized treatment plans can help most men facing urinary retention achieve substantial symptom relief and regain normal bladder function.

In any case, when you seek early medical intervention, it ends up playing a crucial role in protecting against lasting bladder damage and supporting your lifelong urinary health.

Can Malegra 200 Be Used for Younger Men with Erectile Dysfunction

Erectile Dysfunction (ED) is often associated with older men, but many younger men also experience difficulties in achieving or maintaining an erection. Studies suggest that nearly 30% of men under 40 face some form of ED, with causes ranging from psychological stress to lifestyle habits.

One of the most commonly prescribed medications for ED is Malegra 200, a high-dose Sildenafil Citrate drug. But is it safe for younger men? Can it be an effective solution for ED in this age group? In this article, we will explore how Malegra 200 works, its suitability for younger men, and alternative treatment options.

Understanding Malegra 200

Malegra 200 is a phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor, containing Sildenafil Citrate as its active ingredient. It helps increase blood flow to the penile tissues, allowing for a firm and sustained erection when sexually stimulated.

This high-dose ED medication is generally prescribed to men who do not respond well to lower doses (such as 25 mg, 50 mg, or 100 mg). However, the use of Malegra 200 should always be under a doctor’s supervision due to the potential risks and side effects associated with higher dosages.

Causes of Erectile Dysfunction in Younger Men

Unlike older men, where ED is often linked to age-related health issues, younger men experience ED for various reasons:

Psychological Factors

Performance anxiety – Fear of not satisfying a partner can lead to ED.

Stress and depression – Work pressure, financial stress, or personal issues can affect sexual performance.

Relationship problems – Emotional disconnection with a partner may contribute to ED.

Lifestyle Choices

Excessive alcohol and smoking – These habits can impair blood circulation, leading to ED.

Unhealthy diet and lack of exercise – Poor cardiovascular health can reduce blood flow, making erections difficult.

Drug abuse – Recreational drug use can interfere with the nervous system, causing ED.

Medical Conditions

Diabetes and hypertension – These conditions affect blood circulation, increasing the risk of ED.

Hormonal imbalances – Low testosterone levels can reduce libido and erection strength.

Side effects of medications – Some antidepressants and blood pressure medications can lead to ED.

Is Malegra 200 Safe for Younger Men?

While Malegra 200 is a potent ED treatment, younger men should carefully consider whether they actually need such a high dose. Here are some key points to keep in mind:

Recommended Dosage and Usage

Malegra 200 is generally prescribed for men who have severe ED and have not responded to lower doses.

The medication should be taken 30-60 minutes before sexual activity and only once a day.

Younger men with mild or occasional ED should start with lower doses (e.g., 50 mg or 100 mg) to minimize risks.

Who Should Avoid Malegra 200?

Men with heart disease or high blood pressure should not take high-dose Sildenafil.

Those who take nitrate-based medications (used for chest pain) should avoid Malegra 200  mg due to dangerous interactions.

Individuals with liver or kidney disease should consult a doctor before using the medication.

Potential Side Effects

Malegra 200, especially in high doses, can cause:

Headaches and dizziness

Flushing and nasal congestion

Vision changes (blurred vision or blue-tinted vision)

Heart palpitations or irregular heartbeat

Nausea and upset stomach

If any severe side effects occur, such as chest pain or difficulty breathing, medical attention should be sought immediately.

Alternative Treatment Options for Younger Men

Younger men experiencing ED may not always need medication. Here are some alternative approaches:

Natural Remedies

Eat a balanced diet – Foods rich in antioxidants (e.g., berries, nuts, and leafy greens) can improve blood circulation.

Exercise regularly – Physical activity helps maintain a healthy weight and boosts testosterone levels.

Manage stress – Yoga, meditation, or therapy can help reduce anxiety-related ED.

Psychological Therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) can help men overcome performance anxiety.

Couples counseling can resolve relationship issues affecting sexual health.

Other ED Medications

Lower doses of Sildenafil (25 mg, 50 mg, or 100 mg) may be sufficient for younger men.

Tadalafil (Cialis), which has a longer duration of action, may be a better option for some individuals.

Lifestyle Changes

Quit smoking and reduce alcohol consumption to improve circulation.

Get enough sleep to regulate hormone levels.

When to Consult a Doctor?

If a younger man experiences frequent or persistent ED, a doctor’s consultation is necessary. Some warning signs include:

ED that occurs frequently, even without stress or anxiety.

Inability to achieve an erection despite arousal.

ED accompanied by pain, numbness, or other unusual symptoms.

A healthcare provider can determine the root cause of ED and suggest the most appropriate treatment, whether it be lifestyle changes, therapy, or medication.

Conclusion

While Malegra 200 is a powerful ED treatment, it is not always the best first-line option for younger men. Since younger individuals often have psychological or lifestyle-related ED, alternative treatments such as therapy, lifestyle changes, and lower-dose medications may be more appropriate.

If ED is persistent and significantly impacts quality of life, younger men should consult a doctor before considering Malegra 200. A tailored treatment approach will ensure both safety and effectiveness in restoring a healthy sex life.

AYURVEDIC TREATMENTS FOR IRRITABLE BOWEL SYNDROME

What is Irritable Bowel Syndrome?

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a Functional Gastrointestinal Disorder, a common long-term disorder of the digestive system characterised by altered bowel habits and abdominal pain. It is estimated that IBS occurs in 5–10% of the worldwide population, most commonly in young to middle-aged adults, and twice as many women as men.

The primary symptoms of IBS include stomach cramps, bloating, acid reflux, sticky stools, diarrhoea and constipation. Some patients also experience migraine headaches, fibromyalgia, lethargy and sleep disturbances, as well as psychological symptoms including anxiety and depression.

It is often viewed as a lifelong condition, with continuous or recurrent pain and discomfort, and worsening symptoms or ‘flare-ups’ triggered by certain foods, drinks or psychological stressors.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome Causes

Different factors lead to IBS symptoms in different people. The exact causes of IBS are unknown, however, it is thought to be an interaction of the gut-brain axis, gut microbiome, immune system of the gut, and psychological and emotional stress. The various factors include:

Changes in the muscle contractions in the intestine — food is thought to move too slowly or too quickly through the digestive system, causing changes in bowel movements.

In some cases, IBS symptoms are caused by the hypersensitivity of the nerves found in the wall of the gastrointestinal tract with dysregulation of the gut-brain axis. In these patients, otherwise normal sensations of the digestive process are experienced as painful.

Some patients experience IBS symptoms following gastroenteritis, a severe bacterial or viral infection. and symptoms are associated with bacterial overgrowth in the intestines.

There is often a familial component, with IBS patients often reporting other family members with similar symptoms.

Childhood exposure to psychological and emotional stress is most common in patients with IBS.

Patients with IBS often have altered gut microbes compared the healthy individuals, which can influence intestinal inflammation and pain.

It is often triggered by:

Food intolerances, sensitivities or altered eating habits. Many individuals report worse IBS symptoms when they eat or drink certain foods or beverages, such as wheat, dairy products, citrus fruits, high-fibre vegetables and carbonated drinks.

Psychological and emotional stress.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome Treatments

Western medicine diagnoses IBS by eliminating other related and more life-threatening disorders and then treating the condition symptomatically through a combination of prescription medicines, therapy and lifestyle changes.

The prescribed lifestyle changes include increased physical activity, improved sleep hygiene, stress management and dietary modifications. Some practices for dietary modifications include managing a food diary to monitor triggering foods, seeing a dietician for advice, following a low FODMAP diet and avoiding carbohydrates that are difficult for the digestive system.

Medication is often provided to target specific symptoms such as diarrhoea and constipation, or antidepressants or antispasmodics which are used to help manage abdomen pain.

Can Ayurveda help with Irritable Bowel Syndrome?

In Ayurveda, IBS is a form of Grahani, which refers to the malfunctioning of the small intestine and duodenum and the resulting weakened absorption capacities. According to Ayurveda, when food is consumed, it is held in the duodenum until it is digested by Agni, the digestive fire that converts food into nutrition. In a healthy digestive system, food passes on to the next stage of digestion when the food is completely digested by Agni. However, in those with weakened Agni, food is not fully digested, and this can result in the build-up of toxins (Ama) which can result in IBS symptoms.

IBS is associated with:

Irregular eating routine including excessive fasting or excessive food intake, eating before the previous meal has been fully digested.

Eating unhealthy foods including heavy, cold, dry and polluted foods.

Suppression of natural urges.

Weakened immune system.

Disrupted daily rhythm through irregular sleep habits, constant travel or change of environment.

Digestive issues related to chronic illnesses.

From an Ayurvedic approach, the treatment of IBS focuses on eliminating toxins and balancing the aggravated doshas (body energies) to restore the proper functioning of the digestive system. The aggravation of IBS symptoms is often associated with an imbalance of the Vata dosha (air/ether elements) which leads to irregularity, dryness and coldness. This can manifest as irregular bowel movements and erratic symptoms including constipation, constipation altering with diarrhoea, bloating and abdominal pain. Vata also supports the functioning of the nervous system, therefore, stress, anxiety, lack of routine and other factors that increase the activity of the nervous system can lead to the gastrointestinal symptoms associated with IBS. However, different patients display different symptoms. While Vata dosha is predominant, Pitta and Kapha imbalances also play a role. More than one dosha is involved in these conditions, therefore, treatment aims to find the root imbalance and address the imbalanced doshas. Adapted to each patient’s constitution and the various triggers and symptoms of IBS they experience, the Ayurveda treatment protocol works through a combination of Panchakarma cleansing, Ayurvedic medicine and lifestyle changes.

Ayurvedic Treatments for Irritable Bowel Syndrome

Panchakarma, which means ‘five actions’ in Sanskrit is a treatment programme for cleansing and detoxification — removing the Ama build up. It includes the following five elements: ‘Basti’ (herbal oil enemas), ‘Nasya’ (nasal rinsing), ‘Vamana’ (therapeutic vomiting), ‘Virechana’ (purgation treatment) and ‘Raktamokshana’ (bloodletting therapy). For IBS, Panchakarma therapy focuses primarily on ‘Basti’, the medicated enema to cleanse the colon. These sequential treatments work synergistically to eliminate toxins and alleviate the aggravated doshas.

This is often supplemented by other treatments including:

Abhyanga

Abhyanga is Ayurvedic massage therapy, where warmed oils like sesame and coconut medicated with special herbs best suited to your Dosha are applied. Skilled therapists apply special strokes on the body, promoting relaxation, and improved blood flow and lymphatic drainage for detoxification, and focusing on nerve endings of essential organs and energetic points to release blockages.

Shirodhara

Shirodhara is an ancient Ayurvedic treatment that helps to induce a profound state of relaxation through the rhythmic flow of warmed medicated oil applied over specific energetic points on the forehead. It is often combined with a scalp, head, or body massage. Shirodhara is an excellent treatment for calming the nervous system and stress relief.

Chakra Basti

During Chakra Basti, a special paste is made using gram flour that is used to create a boundary on a particular part of the body where warmed medicated oil can be poured to be absorbed by the skin. For IBS, this treatment can be used to stimulate the Marma around the naval area.

Ayurvedic Herbs for Irritable Bowel Syndrome

Depending on the dosha imbalance and symptoms displayed, an Ayurvedic practitioner will prescribe internal herbal medicines which have the following properties:

Deepana — to improve the digestive fire

Pachana — to promote digestion and metabolism

Sangrahi — to increase the holding and absorption capacity of the small intestine and duodenum

Yoga and Meditation for Irritable Bowel Syndrome

The symptoms of IBS are also closely related to emotional and psychological well-being. One study found that those with IBS were three times as likely to have psychological disorders including anxiety and depression. Since stress can alter the gut microbiome and neurotransmitter balance, both key factors in supporting healthy digestion, lifestyle changes and practices that reduce stress including meditation, yoga, breathwork and nature connection are therefore important components of IBS treatment.

A recent meta-analysis illustrated the positive effects of meditation and mindfulness strategies in relieving the pain associated with IBS, as well as improving quality of life measures. In addition, the relaxation response induced by meditation and mindfulness not only reduces the symptoms of IBS, but it also alters the expression of key genes related to stress response and inflammation that are thought to contribute to IBD and potentially IBS. While IBS is less commonly associated with inflammation compared to other disorders such as IBD, many patients with IBS exhibit chronic low-grade inflammation in the bowel wall.

Yoga is another powerful tool for IBS treatment. In addition to enhancing the mind-body connection, there are specific positions that are good for increasing blood flow to the digestive organs and treating abdominal discomfort and bloating, such as Apanasana, Parighasana, Malasana, Ardha Matsyendrasana, Bhujangasana and Trikonasana to name a few.

Another important component of Ayurveda is following a consistent routine, which is particularly important in healing the erratic and irregular symptoms of IBS. Waking up and falling asleep at the same time, as well as eating meals at the same times each day are both important practices for stress management and relieving both the gastrointestinal and psychological symptoms of IBS.

I used to read how suicide was a major killer of men. That's something you don't really take notice of until it happens to your friends. Since hitting 45 I have lost a number of friends. Some to illness, an accident or two and one acquaintance with a drugs overdose. Recently an old friend from my childhood took his own life. Now, usually the death of a friend brings a feeling of profound sadness. In this case it was a mixture of sad, and anger. Some days the anger drowning out the sadness. Growing up on the fairground, there was a real tight gang of us. Hitting our mid twenties, most of us found love and some of us moved away from the North East, losing touch in the process. JJ and I had been friends up until we both moved. We didn't see each other for probably 20 years, then we met up at a mutual friends funeral. We ended up sat talking that long, that both of our spouses rang to see if we were ok, as they had expected us back hours before. Catching up on things we made a commitment to get together again. He was particularly impressed that I had acquired my pilots licence and we agreed to take a flight together. In the run up to Christmas we had been texting each other to try and arrange a night out, but our respective diary's stopped this. On our last text we agreed to pick it back up after Christmas That was the last contact I had with him. A few days into the new year, my dad rang to tell me that JJ had killed himself. There aren't many funerals I cry at, its just not in my nature, but I did at that one. All the old gang were there, except Cliff, who is in prison. I was struck by how everyone had turned into a hugger. That wasn't the macho gang I remember from my youth. But is that part of the problem. Men are expected to be macho, not to cry, to be inscrutable with their feelings. It Can Be Frightening Deciding to talk about this with my circle of friends, what I discovered was frightening. Probably 90% of them were on antidepressants. A couple admitted that they had seriously taken steps towards ending their lives. One described how he had sat there with a gun to his head trying to pluck the courage up to pull the trigger. Something snapped him out of it thankfully, and he threw the gun down, only to have it go off and narrowly miss shooting himself in the head! I didn't know whether to laugh or cry with him. If you read the government statistics then it shows that the so called Generation X, basically my age group are most at risk of dying from either suicide or drugs overdose. Killer Bulls So whats this got to do with the headline. Well, one of the funfairs we used to operate at when I was a kid, was in a little market town on the Yorkshire Dales called Leyburn. One day me, JJ and Cliff, the one in prison now, had gone fishing. Three of us sat there with one rod, when JJ suddenly jumped up and ran away. As I sat staring at his back, Cliff suddenly jumped up and ran the other way. Still puzzled I set off after him, catching him quite quickly due to my longer legs I asked between gasps what was up. "They are coming to kill us he screamed". ???? Looking over my shoulder I suddenly notices a herd of young bullocks stampeding towards us. Now I don't know if they intended harm, or they had just set off at a gallop because we were running. And to be honest I didn't care at that point. We reached a tree, which thankfully was climbable and both shimmied up as far as we could get. The herd of bloody cows, formed a circle around the tree, then all promptly laid down looking up at us. WTF. Eventually they slowly dispersed, probably bored waiting for their meals to come down. In the event we were up their almost 8 sodding hours. And what of JJ, the one who got away. He went home watched some morning TV, had his lunch, played with some of the other kids, then near teatime decided to tell what had happened. We ran into the rescue party as we finally managed to come down out of the tree and were making our way home. Suicide is so bloody final! And truly frightening when you look at how it seems to be increasing. Read the full article

work

It’s gonna be the end of my first week as a therapy assistant tmr. I’m really enjoying the job so much. Now I get to see the different forms of therapy the patients are involved in like VR games and art therapy which help with their motor control. Music therapy and dance groups also promote movement and seem to lift their mood. Mind you these are patients with acquired brain injuries / TBI, neurological conditions and some have Huntington’s so they often have severe mobility impairments. However the therapy approaches really seem to empower them. It’s interesting to see things from the OT perspective. I was considering training as an OT as it’s less steps than being a neuropsychologist but now I’m thinking although I admire their approach it won’t give me the depth of understanding of the conditions that neuropsych would give me so I’m deffo gonna have to find a way to still pursue it. Idk how tho.

Gym

Had my first gym session in months yesterday 😭. The gym is nice but it was so packed in there when I went yesterday. Didn’t enjoy the workout as much as I could’ve because the white men were hogging the weights section. Speaking of white men why was L at the gym at the same time as me?? I was actually kind of embarrassed because his body looked so good but he stays consistent so it makes sense 😭.

Living situation

Gonna have to move out sooner rather than later as the old man is a bit miserable and too comfortable living in filth. He’s fussy about me having my own sponge near the sink?? And I can’t put any of my pots/dishes on the counters because “there isn’t space” which is bs btw there deffo is. When he takes out the bins he just pours the juice from the bins in the sink on the dishes?? He’s happy to have flies frolicking in the kitchen ?? He was just putting on a chill facade and I fell for it 😭 and I’m nervous about him being in my room when I’m not there. When I first moved in (a few days ago) he’d just walk in and stare around like?? Bro can u leave ?? 😭😭 also luckily he’s v frail so I could knock him out if he tried any advances but idk I shouldn’t have to even worry about that. Should’ve known there’s a reason he’s single at 85 😭. Nobody wanted to put up with this bs. I will be discriminating against age and gender when renting from now on ☝🏾. Now I gotta search for somewhere else.

Mood

I’ve been experiencing a lot of low mood lately. Prob a combo of me forgetting to take my medicine and the autumn weather. Imma need someone to develop slow release antidepressants that can be injected so people like me won’t have to remember to take it.

Effective Treatments for Sexual Dysfunction Improve Intimacy and Boost Your Confidence

Sexual dysfunction is a common issue that affects millions of individuals and couples worldwide. It can manifest in various forms, including erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, low libido, and difficulties in achieving orgasm. These challenges can lead to feelings of frustration, anxiety, and a significant decline in overall relationship satisfaction. Fortunately, there are effective treatments available that can help improve sexual function, enhance intimacy, and boost confidence. This blog will explore the various types of sexual dysfunction treatments, their effectiveness, and how they can improve your intimate life treatment for sex

Understanding Sexual Dysfunction

Sexual dysfunction can occur in both men and women, though the specific issues may differ. Here are some of the most common types of sexual dysfunction:

Erectile Dysfunction (ED): The inability to achieve or maintain an erection sufficient for sexual activity. This can result from physical conditions (such as diabetes or heart disease), psychological issues (like anxiety or depression), or a combination of both.

Premature Ejaculation (PE): A condition where ejaculation occurs with minimal sexual stimulation before the person wishes it to. This can cause distress and affect sexual satisfaction for both partners.

Low Libido: A reduced interest in sexual activity, which can be influenced by hormonal changes, stress, medications, or relationship issues.

Female Sexual Dysfunction: This encompasses a range of issues, including difficulties in becoming aroused, achieving orgasm, or experiencing pain during intercourse.

Why Seek Treatment?

Addressing sexual dysfunction is essential for several reasons:

Improved Relationships: Sexual intimacy is a vital component of most romantic relationships. By addressing dysfunction, couples can enhance their emotional and physical connections.

Boosted Confidence: Successfully managing sexual issues can restore self-esteem and confidence, leading to a more fulfilling and satisfying intimate life.

Better Physical Health: Sexual health is closely linked to overall well-being. By treating dysfunction, individuals can improve their physical health and reduce the risk of associated medical conditions.

Increased Quality of Life: Sexual satisfaction contributes significantly to happiness and quality of life. Addressing these concerns can enhance personal fulfillment.

Effective Treatments for Sexual Dysfunction

Medication

Medications are often the first line of treatment for sexual dysfunction, particularly for men with erectile dysfunction. Some common medications include:

Phosphodiesterase Type 5 Inhibitors (PDE5 inhibitors): Drugs like Viagra (sildenafil), Cialis (tadalafil), and Levitra (vardenafil) work by increasing blood flow to the penis, helping achieve and maintain an erection. These medications are effective for many men but require a prescription and should be used under a doctor’s guidance.

Hormone Therapy: For individuals with low testosterone levels, hormone replacement therapy can improve libido and overall sexual function. This can involve testosterone injections, patches, or gels, and should be discussed with a healthcare provider.

Antidepressants and Anti-anxiety Medications: Sometimes, sexual dysfunction is linked to mental health issues. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) can help manage anxiety and depression but may also have sexual side effects. Discussing alternative medications with a doctor can help mitigate these effects.

Therapy and Counseling

For many individuals and couples, sexual dysfunction is rooted in psychological issues, such as anxiety, depression, or relationship challenges. Therapy can provide significant benefits:

Sex Therapy: A trained sex therapist can help individuals and couples explore the emotional and psychological aspects of their sexual issues. Therapy can provide coping strategies, improve communication, and enhance intimacy.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): CBT can be effective for those experiencing anxiety related to sexual performance. It helps individuals identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to sexual dysfunction.

Lifestyle Changes

Making certain lifestyle adjustments can also have a positive impact on sexual health:

Exercise: Regular physical activity can improve blood flow, increase energy levels, and reduce stress and anxiety, all of which can enhance sexual function. Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate exercise per week.

Healthy Diet: A balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins can support overall health and sexual function. Foods rich in antioxidants, such as berries and dark chocolate, can promote circulation and improve libido.

Limit Alcohol and Quit Smoking: Excessive alcohol consumption and smoking can negatively impact sexual performance. Limiting alcohol intake and quitting smoking can lead to improved sexual function and overall health.

Medical Devices

For men with erectile dysfunction, vacuum erection devices (VEDs) can be an effective non-invasive treatment option. These devices create a vacuum around the penis, drawing blood into it and helping achieve an erection. Once the erection is achieved, a constriction ring is placed at the base of the penis to maintain the erection during intercourse.

Surgical Options

In cases where other treatments have failed, surgical options may be considered. Surgical interventions, such as penile implants or vascular surgery, can provide a more permanent solution for erectile dysfunction. This option is typically reserved for men who do not respond to medication or other therapies.

Improving Intimacy and Boosting Confidence

Treating sexual dysfunction not only enhances sexual performance but also fosters deeper emotional connections between partners. Here are a few tips for improving intimacy and confidence:

Open Communication: Discussing sexual issues openly with your partner can reduce anxiety and help create a supportive environment for both individuals. Sharing concerns and desires fosters trust and intimacy.

Explore Together: Trying new activities or techniques in the bedroom can reignite passion and excitement. This can help alleviate performance anxiety and foster a sense of adventure in your intimate life.

Practice Mindfulness: Mindfulness techniques, such as meditation or deep breathing exercises, can help reduce anxiety and improve focus during intimate moments. This can lead to more satisfying sexual experiences.

Set Realistic Expectations: It’s essential to have realistic expectations about sexual performance. Understanding that sexual experiences may vary and that imperfection is normal can relieve pressure and improve overall satisfaction.

Sexual dysfunction is a common issue, but effective treatments are available to help individuals and couples regain their intimacy and confidence. Whether through medication, therapy, lifestyle changes, or other interventions, addressing these challenges can lead to improved relationships and a better quality of life. If you or your partner are struggling with sexual dysfunction, consider seeking professional help to explore the various treatment options available. Remember, prioritizing your sexual health is an essential step toward achieving a fulfilling and satisfying intimate life sex time increase medicine

Gynecomastia Treatment Without Surgery

Many men at different phases of life experience gynecomastia, a condition marked by an increase of breast tissue in men. It results from an overabundance of glandular tissue growing in the chest and is brought on by hormone imbalances, heredity, or specific drugs. Men looking for less intrusive ways to reduce breast size can choose from non-surgical therapies, although surgery—such as liposuction or gland excision—is usually thought to be the most successful option. For people who would prefer to control their gynecomastia without having surgery, these non-surgical methods are good substitutes. If you're looking for professional advice and treatments in Jaipur, visiting the best Cosmetic Surgery Clinic in Jaipur will help you explore various solutions and ensure you receive expert guidance.

This article will discuss hormone therapy, lifestyle modifications, and other non-surgical options for treating gynecomastia. We'll also talk about how well these treatments work and when surgery could be necessary.

Understanding Gynecomastia: The Basics

Understanding the underlying reasons of gynecomastia is crucial before pursuing non-surgical therapy. The primary cause of the illness is an imbalance between the estrogen and testosterone hormones. The body starts to form breast tissue when levels of estrogen or testosterone increase or decrease. There are several things that might cause this imbalance, including:

Hormonal changes: During puberty or aging, hormonal shifts can cause gynecomastia.

Medications: Certain drugs, including anabolic steroids, anti-androgens, and antidepressants, may contribute to the development of the condition.

Health conditions: Issues such as liver disease, hyperthyroidism, or obesity can also lead to hormonal imbalances, resulting in gynecomastia.

Less severe cases of gynecomastia can be treated non-invasively, but surgery is a rapid treatment for those. The condition can be effectively managed with the non-surgical treatments listed below.

1. Lifestyle Changes: Diet and Exercise

For many men, gynecomastia is associated with excess body fat, particularly in the chest area. In such cases, adjusting your diet and exercise regimen can help reduce the appearance of enlarged breasts.

Diet: Reducing overall body fat through a balanced, calorie-controlled diet is essential. Consuming lean proteins, healthy fats, and vegetables while minimizing sugary or processed foods can help with weight loss. It's also important to avoid foods that may increase estrogen levels, such as soy products and certain dairy products.

Exercise: Incorporating strength training and cardiovascular exercises into your routine can help reduce body fat and tone the chest area. Focus on exercises that target the chest muscles, such as bench presses, push-ups, and chest flys. Cardiovascular exercises like running, swimming, or cycling can also help burn fat more efficiently.

For some men, regular exercise and a healthy diet may help reduce the appearance of gynecomastia, especially if the condition is primarily related to excess fat. However, it’s important to note that this approach is more effective in cases of pseudo gynecomastia, where fat tissue is the main issue rather than glandular tissue.

2. Hormone Therapy

Since gynecomastia is often caused by hormonal imbalances, hormone therapy can be a suitable treatment for men who have abnormally low testosterone or elevated estrogen levels. Hormone therapy involves the administration of medications to balance these hormone levels and reduce breast tissue.

Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT): For men with low testosterone, TRT can help restore normal hormone levels, reducing the growth of breast tissue. TRT is typically administered via injections, patches, or gels. However, it's important to consult with a healthcare professional to ensure the therapy is safe and effective for your specific situation.

Anti-estrogen medications: Drugs like tamoxifen and raloxifene, which are typically used to treat breast cancer, can also help reduce the effects of estrogen in men. These medications block estrogen receptors, potentially shrinking the breast tissue caused by gynecomastia.

Hormone therapy can be effective for men whose gynecomastia is directly related to hormone imbalances. However, it is not a quick fix and may take months to produce noticeable results.

3. Medications and Supplements

In some cases, prescription medications or over-the-counter supplements may help reduce gynecomastia without surgery.

Clomiphene: This drug is often used to treat infertility in men and can help increase testosterone levels while reducing estrogen levels.

Selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs): As mentioned earlier, medications like tamoxifen can help shrink breast tissue by blocking estrogen receptors.

Supplements: While some supplements claim to reduce gynecomastia, it’s crucial to approach them with caution. There is limited scientific evidence to support their effectiveness, and some may have side effects. Always consult a healthcare provider before starting any supplements.

4. Compression Garments

For men looking for immediate solutions to reduce the appearance of gynecomastia, compression garments can be helpful. These garments are designed to flatten the chest and minimize the visibility of breast tissue under clothing. While compression garments do not treat the underlying cause of gynecomastia, they can provide temporary relief for those uncomfortable with the condition’s appearance.

5. Avoiding Triggers

Certain substances can exacerbate gynecomastia. Avoiding these triggers may help reduce the symptoms of gynecomastia:

Steroids: Anabolic steroids can cause hormonal imbalances that contribute to breast tissue growth in men. If you're using steroids for bodybuilding or other purposes, discontinuing use may help reduce gynecomastia.

Alcohol and drugs: Excessive alcohol consumption and drugs like marijuana can increase estrogen levels, worsening gynecomastia. Reducing or eliminating these substances can help manage the condition.

When Non-Surgical Treatments May Not Be Enough

While non-surgical treatments can be effective for mild to moderate cases of gynecomastia, they may not work for everyone. In cases where gynecomastia is caused by an excess of glandular tissue rather than fat, non-invasive methods like diet, exercise, and hormone therapy may not be sufficient. Additionally, men who have lived with gynecomastia for a long time or have a severe case may require surgical intervention to achieve the desired results.

Conclusion

If non-surgical treatments fail to provide the desired results, surgery remains the most effective and permanent solution for gynecomastia. Gynecomastia surgery, also known as male breast reduction, involves removing excess fat and glandular tissue to restore a more masculine chest contour. For those seeking surgical options, Gynecomastia Surgery in Jaipur offers expert care and advanced techniques to ensure the best outcomes. If you’re looking for professional advice and effective treatment, consider consulting with experienced surgeons to explore your options and achieve long-lasting results.
