Hormonal Vertigo

These gals have a reason to be a bit dizzy, but have you ever felt that way without an explanation? When females feel dizzy or have a condition called vertigo there are many possible explanations actually tied to hormones. Experiences of vertigo may be tied to any one of these hormonal explanations or you may be experiencing Hot Flashes, or inner ear problem, medication side effects, dehydration, or just a plight of disorientation to surroundings. Vertigo is a sensation of im

A shocking place stem cells have been found

Arnold Caplan, PhD. from the Case Western Skeletal Research Center pointed out in one talk to the 2014 Meeting of the North American Menopause Society Meeting that it was stem cells that allowed Kobe Bryant to continue playing and the first uterine transplant to be performed. Stem cells changed the way we thought we think about disease. Their biology has been a mystery and the wonders of these cells is being gradually unlocked to change medicine forever. This is the field tha

Why you now have a moustache!

Hair is very hormone sensitive. Just ask any pregnant woman, she'll give you a whole run down. Some hipsters are very proud of the quick and thick facial hair they can produce, but then again for women...well new appearance of moustache in a female can be a bit, well, concerning. We all have that ying and yang balance of male and female, and each of these hormones, will synchronize with other aspects of our health and can cause effects on the hair follicle. If you are suddenl

IUD and hormonal level changes

IUD side effects are important to understand and what is more important to understand is that they can be addressed. It is true that some women will request removal, but over 8% of women still have their IUD at the end of the first year of use. 1. Hormonal levels of a medicated IUD doesn't relate directly to break through bleeding. Most women have some irregular spotting or bleeding when they first get an IUD, and this is just due to shedding of lining which is thinning . 2.

Endometrial ablation is just one cause of this painful condition

1. Endometrial ablations can allow women to avoid a hysterectomy, and thus be very successful for long term health. 2. Endometrial ablations work by preventing menstrual lining regrowth and thus preventing cycles. Eventually, in the years after an ablation, the ongoing hormonal production from the ovaries may cause the lining to regrow. 3. Women who have had an endometrial ablation, even if they have had a long period of time with no symptoms (years), may begin to have pain l

Does your contraception make you have a non-stop period?

Contraception is designed to prevent pregnancy, but along the way, disrupting ovulation can disrupt menstrual cycles. Often the amount of bleeding when you have break through contraceptive bleeding is actually very little blood lost. It's thus not necessarily a medical problem. Long acting contraceptive (LARC) methods are staying in the news, and both the best and now, the newest, contraception available for women. The CDC states that Nexplanon contraceptive is the best cont

How to know if you have PMS

PMS is the mild form of symptoms around the menstrual cycle, PMDD is the more severe form standing for Pre Menstrual Dysphoric Disorder. The 'pre' is significant as it is mostly a syndrome that occurs just before a natural menstrual cycle's period when both estrogen and progesterone levels plummet. Women with PMS and PMDD think they know the condition when they have it. But just walking into your gyno and having a conversation about your suspicions is less accurate a diagnosi

These brain improving strategies you may not be doing

You were relating a story about one of your favorite books, and sure enough, you cannot remember the author, or the title, or the main character, or all three! Frustrating, but so common. The end of a long day, preoccupation with other things, or even plane old not putting enough effort into those word, time or place associations that help our memory was probably at fault. Spring is almost here and, if you haven't gotten around to some of your new year resolutions, no worries

To be diagnosed with the actual condition of VVS you have to have recurrent fainting, and it is mostly seen in young women of reproductive age but is also commonly seen in athletes.

Failing in the gym can mean this serious condition

1. Suffering from female or male athletic triad can be a serious condition that is first recognizable by failing at your normal work outs. Working out is important, being nutritionally and physically supervised with a bit of medical provider input can be critically important. 2. Check in with your body.
