Vaginal Rejuvenation can be Extremely Life-Changing

Factors such as pregnancy, aging, and personal injury can cause permanent stretching of the vagina canal; causing some dissatisfaction in the bedroom.  It has been said that performing Kegel exercises can help tightening and strengthen the vagina overtime, but even thatcan only do so much.  For guaranteed and dramatic results, women have the option of getting a Vaginoplasty in Los Angeles.  This cosmetic surgery focuses on targeting the hymenotomy, or the actually opening of the hymen.  This procedure removes the excess skin lining and tightens the surrounding muscles and tissues so that there will be a renewed and noticeable tightness.  Most women opt to combine vaginoplasty with labiaplasty (refining of the outer and inner labia) for an added lift and rejuvenation to their body part.  It is a surgery that does not require an extended recovery time, and patients can return to normal sexual activities after seven days.  

But an issue that affects both males and females is urinary tract infection.  Also know as, UTI, this infection can occur in both sexes at any age and is caused by microbe bacteria that enters the urinary tract and are not flushed out properly.  This can cause mild to severe pain in the pelvic or lower back, fever, vomiting, and occasionally bloody urine.  This condition is actually more common in women than in men because their urethra is much shorter, making it easier for bacteria to travel up the urinary tract.   In fact, sexual intercourse is the cause of 75-90% of UTI in women because the existing bacteria around the vagina area gets pushed up and massaged into the urethra.  

Another cause of this infection results from waiting too long to urinate, where the bladder muscle is forced out stretch out beyond its capacity and begin to weaken.  Once the bladder is emptied however, there is still a small amount of urine left that will lead to an infection.  To cure a UTI, an Urologist in Los Angeles will take a urine sample and collect the number the bacteria and white blood cells to observe under a microscope.  If the diagnosis is correct, your urologist will prescribe to you some antibiotics to kill the bacteria, and this should not be discontinued until the entire treatment is complete.  Your urologist will even advise out on some simple ways to avoid another UTI in the future, such as wiping front to back after the a bowel movement, urinating right after intercourse, and drinking plenty of fluids to flush the bacteria out. 

Urologist Los Angeles- Haven’t gotten your prostate checked lately?

There’s no better time to get your prostate checked than during Prostate Cancer Awareness Month!

Did you know that September is Prostate Cancer Awareness Month? As prostate cancer continues to claim the lives of over 25,000 American males each year- making it the leading cancer-related cause of death for American males- it is incredibly crucial to get prostates checked regularly by a Urologist in Los Angeles because if the earlier prostate cancer is detected, the better the chance that the patient will be cured. In fact, the president of the Large Urology Group Practice Association has stated that if caught early enough, prostate cancer is almost always curable, with a 10-year survival rate at 99%.

According to recent statistics, one in six American men will get prostate cancer at some point in their lives. This rate is even higher among African-American males and those with a familial history of prostate cancer. And the older a man gets, the higher his chances of developing prostate cancer.

Prostate cancer usually presents no signs of symptoms until it is too late, meaning that getting your prostate checked with a screening is the only way to ensure that any prostate cancer that forms is detected early, when it is very, very treatable.

Prostate cancer can be effectively treated a couple of different ways: surgically and via radiation therapy.

Prostate cancer can be surgically cured with the removal of the prostate, using a method known as prostatectomy. Prostatectomy is most often used to treat prostate cancers that are still in its early stages or prostate cancers that have not responded to radiation therapy. Depending on the severity of the prostate cancer, the testicles may also have to be removed.

Radiation therapy is the other method that is used to cure prostate cancer. During radiation therapy, ionizing radiation is used to damage cells within the body. By damaging cells, apoptosis, or cell death, is induced. However, for normal, non-cancer cells, any damage caused by the radiation therapy should be able to be repaired, and not induce apoptosis. Radiation therapy can be used at all stages of prostate cancer.

Although prostate cancer can be cured, the methods that are necessary to effectively kill the cancer has the high potential to cause an unfortunate side effect: Erectile Dysfunction. This is because prostatectomy involves surgery to areas very close to nerves related to sexual function and radiation therapy inherently involves causing intentional damage to cells around the prostate, including cells related to sexual function.

Even though erectile dysfunction is not favorable, there is good news: with time and treatment, sexual health and function should return. There are prescription medications, surgical implants, medical injections, and external devices available to help with the treatment of erectile dysfunction caused by treatments for prostate cancer.
