The science of getting pregnant and having healthy babies is such a complex process that those who get pregnant and bear live healthy babies with ease are, indeed, lucky. Being in good health, with balanced and synchronised hormones, minerals and vitamins, organs and systems is essential to achieving pregnancy, carrying the pregnancy to term and giving birth to live and normal babies. Getting pregnant is not so easy, even for couples who have normal physiological parameters. For example, a couple who has no medical abnormalities and who has normal weight, with a body mass index of 19-25 kg/m2, has only 80 percent chance of getting pregnant within one year of having unprotected sex. This gives an insight into how even being overweight or obese can decrease your chances of getting pregnant or carrying a pregnancy safely for nine months without complications. In this article, we will discuss the effects of obesity on key reproductive mechanisms and its relation to fertility treat...

It is not only women that experience some down time in the bedroom. Men, too, find it difficult to get it up sometimes. This is not to say that they are impotent or suffering from erectile dysfunction, though. Consultant Nutritionist, Dr. Tayo Akinsanya, says if you have found yourself saying, ‘Not tonight’ more than usual, it might have to do with something you ate. According to him, these days, more men suffer from a decreased sex drive, and some of the major culprits are as simple as what they eat. Akinsanya says, “Foods can negatively affect your libido, especially as you age; so, it’s important to identify the wrong foods and cut them down, or cut them out totally. “Some foods deplete testosterone levels – the hormone that boosts sexual desire. And anything that depletes these hormones in men can eventually zap their desire for sex.” He notes that men who can’t seem to get sexually stimulated at night should check what they had f...

The breast is an important organ in everyone, most especially so in women because of its dual function as a means of feeding the young and is a sexual organ. It is a modification of the sweat gland, which originates from the skin and its appendages. The eventual size the breast attains is dependent on the age of the person, the sex, race and genetic disposition. The breast is a very important organ in all mammals and is the focus of our discussion today. Normal cyclical changes in the breast are associated with puberty, menstruation, pregnancy, lactation and postmenopausal involution. The pre-menstrual enlargement is due to increased proliferation of blood vessels and these are usually manifested by the subjective feeling of tingling sensations and fullness of the breast. Every woman needs to know about their breasts and also form a habit of examining them at least once a month either in the bathroom or during their quiet time in the bedroom. It is so easy to perform and should be ove...

Do you itch down there? Do you perceive offensive odour from your genital area? Or have you been treating vaginal infections too frequently? If you answer in the affirmative to at least two of these questions, it may be time for you to throw your panties in the trash bin. Many of us are guilty of wearing our underwear and panties for too long. Even when they have stains that won’t wash off or if they already have holes and patches, we still keep wearing them. People do this not because they can’t afford to buy new set of undies, but sometimes simply because they have become attached to them. While we agree that it is not so easy to get the right fit of underwear, doctors say that wearing old underwear could predispose one to urinary tract and vaginal infections. Consultant Gynaecologist, Dr. Olamide Adepegba, says scientific studies have shown that men and women are more likely to have changed their wardrobe four times before they change their set of underwear. He says, ...

The saying ‘It’s a man’s world’ has put men in a superior position to women over the years and almost translates to ‘a man can do as he pleases;’ he cannot be faulted and he can do no wrong. That is why a woman is taught and advised to be the patient one. But what happens when a woman cheats on her man? “You know it is customary for a wife not to cheat,” said Jones Nnamdi. The politician explained his stands thus, “I am not saying it is normal or okay for a man to cheat but we all know that the sanction is usually more on the women because women are the productive instrument. If your wife should cheat on you, you might have a child that is not from your blood line. That is the major reason why both traditional religions, Christianity and Islam, frowns at cheating by women. It is important that the line of productivity is straightforward.” The thought of his wife cheating on him is one he dreads, but if it should happen, Nnamd...

A good percentage of our teens and young adults today are under the siege of sexual pressure. Many willing teens and young adults easily give in to the pressure of sex and not because they actually bargained for it or were in full support of the sexual experiencing they were having. But it has been discovered that lack of good parenting and mentorship have led many of our young stars into undue negative early sexual exposure and disaster. Parents and guardians, in a bid to balance business and parenthood, fail in their responsibilities towards these young ones. The negative media influences (Internet) cannot be over emphasised. It is from the internet these teens and young stars are polluted as many of our teens get hooked to porn sites as early as age 10 and sometimes below. Masturbation, pornography, sex chatting have now become the order of the day among these teens. It is from internet that these young ones are pressured into bad gangs, sexual perversion etc. Research has shown t...

A man recently walked into my office with his wife and looked straight into my eyes and said, ‘Please can you teach me how to make my wife experience a breast orgasm?’ ‘Breast orgasm’, I asked? And he nodded and repeated after me and said, ‘Yes Madam, breast orgasm’. He continued, ‘My marriage clocked four years yesterday and I have done all to make my wife respond to me. But she seems not to be interested in sex with me in particular, because, according to her, I only waste her time and kill her libido during sex. And after long hours of persuasion and pleading, she would simply say her idea of good sex is when I make her experience breast orgasm. She said that was what her former boyfriend used to do to make her enjoy sex to the ultimate level. ‘Madam, apart from the fact I was psychologically deflated that my wife still preferred another man on bed or still carried the memories of her former lover, I also want to learn and do better,’ he said. The breasts are one of the erogenous...

Erectile dysfunction, generally known as impotence, affects an estimated 18 million men in the United States alone, while Nigeria men share the borderline of the statistics. However, while this condition is no picnic, it is not as horrible or as permanent as it sounds or as it is generally believed to be. All the terror and the shame usually associated with this problem is only so because the condition is most often, completely misunderstood and the permanent solution evades us. According to the National Institutes of Health, approximately five per cent of 40-year-old men and between 15 per cent and 25 per cent of 65-year-old men, experience ED on a long-term basis. But ironically, close to 15 per cent of Nigerian youth between the ages of 27-35 are fast entering the list. A much more common problem which affects the majority of men at some point in their life is the occasional failure to achieve an erection, which could occur for a variety of reasons, ranging from drinking too much ...

The antioxidant solutions to all these are available in food and supplements such as, the combination of the white of raw egg with small portion of watermelon blended together. Drink daily especially at night. Studies show that watermelon has effect on erectile dysfunction that is similar to the drug, Viagra and may also increase sexual desire. Watermelon is rich in beneficial ingredients known as phytonutrients. Phytonutrients are also antioxidants. One of their benefits is that they relax the blood vessels that supply an erection. Although watermelon is 92 per cent water, the other eight per cent work wonders for the heart and your sexual enjoyment. We can also get another antioxidant called Lycopene in tomatoes and pink grapefruit. They contain phytonutrients that are good for circulation and good for sexual issues. Studies show that lycopene could be absorbed best when mixed with healthy oily foods like avocados and olive oil. You can make yourself an ED or impotency fighting sal...
