Urinary incontinence linked to reduced sexual urge in elderly
Apr 6, 2018 0
Elderly men and women who suffer from urinary incontinence may face complications as well as reduced sexual drive, researchers say. Urinary incontinence (UI), also known as involuntary urination, is any uncontrolled leakage of urine. It is a common and distressing problem, in the elderly and may have a large impact on quality of life. Women suffering from frequent urine leakage reported declines in sexual activity and and ability to become sexually aroused. On the other hand, men with urinary incontinence reported declines in sexual desire, increased erectile and orgasm difficulties, the study showed. The study also highlighted the need for the “taboo” subjects to be discussed by health professionals. ...
IVF egg donor use rises sharply, HFEA figures show
Mar 21, 2018 0
The number of women using donated eggs has risen sharply in the past 10 years, latest figures show. There were 1,912 women who had IVF using a donor egg in 2006, compared to 3,924 in 2016, the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA) said. It attributed the rise to a greater awareness of donation as an option, more donors, and more same sex couples, single and older women using them. The number of women donating their eggs is also on the increase. Women usually need to be between 18 and 35 to donate their eggs and the process for donating is similar to the early stages of IVF, ...
Mississippi could test how soon state can restrict abortion
Mar 8, 2018 0
For decades, the U.S. Supreme Court has been telling states that they can’t ban abortions before a fetus can survive outside the womb on its own. But states continue to try to restrict abortion before viability. One of the most recent is Mississippi, where lawmakers are on the brink of approving a measure that would ban most abortions after 15 weeks. House Bill 1510 passed the Mississippi Senate on Tuesday and is one House vote away from the desk of a governor who is eager to sign it. The owner of Mississipi’s only abortion clinic has said she’ll sue if the bill goes into law — a move lawmakers not only know to expect, ...
Child sex abuse in Turkey sparks debate on best prevention
Mar 5, 2018 0
A man suspected of raping a sleeping 4-year-old girl during a wedding in southern Turkey narrowly escaped a neighborhood lynching attempt, sparking a public outcry and calls for the government to prevent and more severely punish child sexual abuse. Among the heavier penalties the Turkish government is considering are life sentences, chemical castration and other “deterrents,” according to high-ranking officials. The attack reignited a national discourse about child abuse, with some public figures taking to social media to say “Children keep quiet, you shouldn’t” and others petitioning parliament to install the death penalty. But Turkey’s already hefty punishments have not put a dent in sex abuse and experts are urging more preventive measures. ...

Sexually transmitted infection HPV raises reinjection risk in men- study
Dec 6, 2017 0
A study says that men infected with a particular type of genital human papillomavirus (HPV) may be at twenty times more risk of reinfection with the same type. The findings show that men who are infected once with HPV16, the type responsible for most HPV-related cancers, are at 20 times higher risk of reinfection after one year, and 14 times higher after two years. HPV is the most common sexually transmitted infection and it is a major cause of genital warts and cancers of the genitals, mouth and throat. The same effect was observed in both men who are sexually active and celibate, suggesting that they are not reacquiring the virus from another sexual partner. ...
