Genital Warts Information for Women

by Don under General Health on Feb 20, 2010

Although genital warts is a condition which can affect either men or women the actual overall effects which may follow genital warts, along with the treatment of genital warts itself may differ between the two sexes. This being men and women do not have the same body parts which are most commonly affected by genital warts, therefore helping deal with genital warts would have to be different concepts for women in comparison to men.

Genital warts information for women

The women’s infection of genital warts is known as Condyloma. Depending on the actual strain of genital warts changes the actual symptoms of genital warts. For example there are approximately 70 or more strains of genital warts. Most common are 40 of these strains. The strain numbers 6 and 11 of genital warts have a high rate of causing severe breakouts of warts while strains 16 and 18 are more likely to cause conditions such as cervical cancer.

How can a woman get checked for genital warts?

The first thing a woman needs to remember about getting checked for any form of STI, (STI being a sexually transmitted infection) is that she needs to be completely honest about her sexual activities. Being an STI comes from sexual contact traditionally other non-genitalia areas of the body could also get infected if exposed to any other part of the body which is not exterior skin such as the mouth and the anus.

Once a woman and her doctor have properly and honestly covered all possibilities of an infection there are two different kinds of non-surgical operations which a doctor may preform to properly assess whether a female patient has been exposed to Condyloma. These procedures are known as the following colposcopy and the anoscopy.

A colposcopy is a procedure which checks the vulva, vagina, and also cervix for signs of infection and may be followed with other tests of conditions which play alongside genital warts such as cervical cancer.

An anoscopy is a procedure which examines the anus and also rectum of patients. Traditionally individuals who have not had anal sex will not be infected by genital warts in this manner.

Can genital warts lead to cancer?

As we have stated previously some strands of the genital warts virus may in fact play a part in the formation of cervical cancer in women. Women whether they have genital warts or not should be regularly examined for the possibility of cervical cancer being the condition can remain silent until it is too near late to be cured.

How to Get the Haircut You Want

by Don under Hair Care on Feb 10, 2010

Have you ever left a hair salon in tears, because you got a hairdo that just wasn’t you? Getting a great cut is all about preparation and communication. Follow these handy tips to make sure you’ll be smiling on your next salon exit.

1. Go to a Pro
Junior stylists and hair school students will give you a cheaper cut, for sure. But cheap comes at a price younger stylists can be inexperienced. If you just need a trim, that’s probably not a big deal. But when you want a new style, or are making a bold move like going short, you’ll want to entrust your hair only to a seasoned professional. You don’t have to go to the most senior (read high-priced) cutter in the salon. You should look for someone with at least a few years of snipping experience.

2. Picture It
Stylists are visual peeps, so help them visualize your dream ‘do! Bring pictures of hairstyles or colors that you like. This is the best way to show the stylist exactly what you want the end result to be. But be realistic—don’t bring in a picture of Hilary Duff, when you’re a brunette with natural curls. Try to find styles that work with your natural hair texture or that you can style yourself without a huge effort.

3. Be Positive
Telling a stylist what you want is helpful. However, most stylists say that launching into a laundry list of what you hate will just make them annoyed. Never complain about your last hairdresser, either—that’s just rude. Instead, focus on the positive by telling the stylist what you like, or what you’re looking to improve.
For instance, “I’d like to grow out my bangs and make them blend better into the rest of my hair” is a lot more helpful than just saying, “I hate my bangs.”
If you’re not happy with your current hair, but you’re not sure about what you want, ask the stylist for suggestions. A good stylist will consider your hair’s natural texture and condition and recommend a cute and manageable style.

4. Show and Tell
To avoid miscommunication (and hair disasters), it’s important to be very clear when you’re talking about your hair. Don’t talk in terms of measurement (“Take half an inch off my bangs”) or give vague instructions (“I want it a bit shorter” or “I want long layers”). If you don’t have a picture, use your hands to show exactly where you want the length to be. For example, if you want your hair, cut to your shoulders, pull your hair up to that exact point. Make it crystal clear so your hairdresser won’t misinterpret what you want.

5. Be Honest
There’s no point in fibbing when you’re in the salon. Your stylist needs to know your daily grooming habits to analyze your hair’s condition, and figure out the best cut (and color) for you. So if you flatiron every day, don’t lie and say you only heat style once a week. Think of your hairdresser as a hair therapist—to treat you right and send you out feeling great, they need the real deals.

6. Don’t Be a Doormat
If your stylist isn’t listening to you, or you don’t like their suggestions, it’s your right to walk away. Just politely say that you’d like to think about it, or you’re not quite ready to make the change after all. Then hit the road. When it comes to your hair, as with so much else in life, it’s smart to follow your instincts.

7. Pay Attention
The salon may have great magazines, but don’t get lost in them while your hair is being cut. Turn your cell phone off too—you need to be alert! All it takes is a few snips to take your hair from fabulous to frumpy, so watch in the mirror while your stylist is working, and don’t be afraid to ask questions or make comments. After all, you’re the one who has to live with the haircut, not them.

8. Be Truthful
When the stylist is finished cutting and styling your hair, take a good look. If there’s anything that stands out as a problem—such as still-too-long bangs—speak up immediately. Hairdressers are used to doing last-minute fix-ups before clients leave the salon. Once you leave, it’s harder (not to mention a pain) to have to return to get something changed.

How to Get Rid of Unwanted Hair Permanently

by Don under Hair Care on Jan 21, 2010

New Hope for Unwanted Hair

Is there a painless way to get rid of unwanted hair permanently? Yes, there is.

From plucking, depilatory creams to epilation, women the world over has tried just about everything to eliminate unwanted hair. Today, latest trends and advancements in science have given women new hope in addressing this problem–a procedure known as Thermolysis.

Although thermolysis is just one of the many procedures which include waxing, laser epilation and electrolysis, the process is still a better choice due to its advantages.

For one, waxing is a lifelong session and is not permanent. Like electrolysis, it is also considered painful. And as far as technology is concerned, laser epilation is too expensive and causes either hypo or hyperpigmentation. In some cases, there is blistering or crusting of the affected area and is also painful. There is also a higher risk of retinopathy to the patient and the doctor.

Thermolysis, on the other hand, is a procedure that applies a short wave, high-frequency alternating current that destroys the hair at the roots. Unlike electrolysis, thermolysis removes hair without the use of a needle. Applied to the hair for seconds, the pulses penetrate the hair follicles causing cellular decomposition of the root itself. In seconds, hair slides out easily. It is safe to apply even on sensitive areas. Common areas being treated are the bikini line, eyebrows, legs and underarms. Furthermore, the procedure is painless and permanent.

Thermolysis involves the application of anesthetic creams to the areas where hair needs to be removed. The procedure is done 30 to 45 minutes after. Once treated, patients are instructed not to wet the areas for 3 days and a topical anti-bacterial is prescribed.

The treatment usually requires several visits before achieving 100 percent hair removal. This is due to the hair’s growth cycle. Hair doesn’t grow simultaneously. The first treatment could remove some of the hair at the roots, but those in the resting stage would still require another treatment.

Can you imagine yourself with smooth, clear skin, free of unwanted hair without having to undergo the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentations or scarring? The side effects often posed by waxing, plucking and shaving are visibly eliminated with Thermolysis. There’s practically no pain, no mess, no discomfort. It’s fast and most importantly, permanent. With Thermolysis, you have a better option of removing unwanted hair painlessly and permanently. When it’s done, it’s done!

A Guide on Breast Surgery

by Don under General Health on Jan 19, 2010

Here are 3 common breast-related surgeries:

Breast Lumps

Whenever lumps appear on a woman’s breast, the primary concern is always whether we’re dealing with a benign or malignant process. So the first thing that should be done, as far as your case is concerned, is to rule out a malignant disease. A mammogram and ultrasound examination may be needed to screen out malignancy, and to determine whether the lumps we are dealing with are solid or cystic. If signs suggestive of a malignant process are seen on mammogram, and ultrasound, then biopsy to establish a definite tissue diagnosis is imperative. If the mammogram is negative and the ultrasound shows multiple cystic masses, then it is very likely that what you have are cystic formations. In some cases, however, the breast becomes studded with multiple cystic masses of vary-in- sizes, making their removal impossible without removing the breast tissue itself. In such extreme cases, subcutaneous mastectomy (removal of the breast tissue, saving the skin. nipple, and areola), and reconstruction with breast implant may have to be done.

Gel-Filled Implants

Salt water or saline filled silicone breast implants have several disadvantages compared to the more popular silicone gel-filled implants. The implants can often be felt when one touches the breast and the ripples you experience are due to the ripples of the implant bag that has become under-filled from leakage of the saline from the bag. This happens especially if the implant is placed behind the breast and not behind the muscle behind the breast.

In almost all cases like this, changing the implant to a gel-filled one will correct the problem easily. Plastic surgeons would usually charge the same package as the first surgery.

Areolar Reduction

The nipple and areola, like the rest of the breast, are responsive to the hormonal changes of pregnancy. The degree of response varies from patient to patient, and for some the changes do become bothersome. There is nothing we can do to bring them back to their pre-pregnancy state as the changes brought upon by pregnancy are more or less permanent. What the plastic surgeon can do is to reduce the size of the nipple and areola to at least approximate the appearance that you desire. The nipple area scars very well and rarely cause patients a lot of problems. With areolar reduction, an incision is made around the entire circumference of the areola to remove the excess. Some corrugations appear at first, but this flattens out over time. A thin scar remains around the areola, at the point where it blends with the skin of the breast. Sensation is not affected, and most patients are satisfied.
