PICRIC ACID- For initial stages of sexual debility.

Conteraceptive pills & your libido

New York (IANS) Women who use contraceptive pills may lose their sex drive up to a year after they stop taking it, says a study.

Loss of libido, muted or non-existent orgasms and painful intercourse have long been known as side effects of the pill. A previous research had, however, suggested a woman's sex drive could return to normal within four weeks of discontinuation.

But the seven years study by researchers led by Dr Claudia Panzer, an endocrinologist in Denver, Colorado shows that a chemical produced by the pill to stop ovulation continues to suppress testosterone levels - central to desire in men and women - for up to a year after women stop taking it, reported the online edition of The Sunday Times.

Women on the pill had four times the level of sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG), which stops testosterone from circulating in the body, as those who had never taken the pill, it said.

The research published this month in the Journal of Sexual Medicine was based on 124 pre-menopausal women attending a clinic for sexual dysfunctions.

Half the women had used the pill, 39 had stopped using it and 23 had never taken it. Scientists measured their SHBG levels every three months for a year.

"It is important for physicians prescribing oral contraceptives to point out to patients the potential sexual side effects," Panzer said.

However a spokeswoman for Britain's Family Planning Association urged caution in interpreting the findings. "It is difficult to quantify what a person's sex drive is," she said.

She added: "It may be influenced by a range of lifestyle factors. Whether you are stressed, what you have eaten or how much you have drunk can all affect your sex drive.

"Whether you have children and what ages they are can also have an effect. Our problem is that none of these factors was quantified in this research."

SEXUAL HEALTH PROBLEMS

The list of the most common sexual problems:

(a) Problems related to infection: not only sexually transmitted diseases but such problems as vaginitis and cystitis,
which may cause a variety of sexual difficulties.

(b) Problems related to the life-cycle: those sexual problems that occur in conjunction with pregnancy, childbirth, and
the postpartum period, those associated with the menstrual cycle, etc.

(c) Problems related to a changing technology: e.g., use of condoms, hormonal contraception, of IUDs, when
breakthrough bleeding may be a problem.

(d) Problems that are related to sociocultural factors, including legal and economic factors.

The main sexual problems have also been categorized by age group as follows:

Infants and young children: educators' and parents' reactions to infantile sexuality and masturbation; children's questions; privacy problems for intimacy between parents.

Latency period: sexual curiosity, sexual games.

Puberty and adolescence: masturbation; sexual experimentation with partners; feelings of loneliness, physical and emotional inadequacy.

Unmarried adults: sexual needs; difficulties in finding a partner; feelings of loneliness and inferiority; love affairs without a future; unwanted pregnancy and wishful exposure to unwanted pregnancy.

Couples: sexual problems dependent on duration of marriage: (I) problems of initial adaptation; (II) alienation, divorce; (III) temtations and extramarital relationships, infidelty, jealousy; (IV) problems of middle and old age, quantitative differences.

Divorcees, widows, and widowers: problems largely similar to those of unmarried adults.

In addition to the problems grouped above there are some that are specific to men or women and are less related to age, such as sexually transmitted disease.

While most of the therapy programmes are concerned with the more specific psychotherapeutic approaches to sexual (erotic and copulatory) dysfunctions, it is recognized that the care of sexual problems encompasses a much broader field, including the gynaecological and psychosomatic aspects, therapy for endocrine dysfunction, and the use of drugs for infectious and other medical conditions relevant to sexual health. The consideration of genetic and endocrine factors is important in relation to both therapeutic intervention and training of health personnel, and special attention should be given to a better understanding of childhood sexuality.

SEX THERAPIES

There are various approaches to the therapy of common sexual dysfunctions, covering behavioural therapy, psychoanalysis and hypnosis, couple therapy of the type described by Masters and Johnsons, other forms of shortterm therapy based on psychotherapy, and various methods of group therapy.

The range of therapeutic approaches is very wide. Some of the main features and advantages of the different methods are highlighted below.

(a) Somatic therapy:

- even though few sexual dysfunctions are of organic origin, it is essential for Doctor to begin with a physical and, if appropriate,an endocrinological examination;

- physical, pharmacological( HOMEOPATHY IS MOST EFFECTIVE IN MANY SUCH CASES ), and/or surgical therapies have been estabished for coital and erotic disabilities secondary
to another dysfunction, as in hormonal deficiency during development; geriatric hormonal insufficiency;

hermaphroditism, vaginal atresia, and other birth defects of the sex organs; traumatic injury or disease of the sexorgans; genital tract infection; depression and other psychiatric disorders;

accidental and iatrogenic toxic effects; and
disability secondary to metabolic, autoimmune, and other systemic diseases;

- in general, in cases of sexual dysfunction such as dyspareunia and impotence, there is a tendency towards excessiveuse of hormonal therapy, which should be used only in well-defined instances.

(b) Behavioural therapy - the modern approach is characterized by:

- careful and precise definition of the ultimate goal of treatment;

- insistence on the changing of attitudes rather than immediate change of behaviour, since it is possible for certain
combinations of attitudes to block the whole process of sexual functioning;

- flexible and rational orientation to meet the needs of the individual patient.

(c) Psychoanalysis can be useful with regard to:

- determination of the significance of symptoms in the context of the total personality;

- the quality of sexual functioning;

- the importance of fantasy and imagination in sexuality.

(d) Hypnosis, althrough its nature is not fully understood, can be useful in the process of desensitization and in inducing
relaxation, for example:

- hypnotic visualization of the sexual act;

- sensory utilization of hypnosis to induce positive sensations such as a feeling of heat at the base of the abdomen to
induce easier achievement of sexual pleasure.

(e) Couple therapy based on the Masters and Johnsons model has sugested the following advantages:

- focus on the couple and on the pathological aspects of their relationship;

- therapy practised by the couple during an intensive and continous period of two weeks;

- insistence on the expression of feelings - the goal of sexual therapy is not only the relief of symptoms butenhancement of the sexual experience through richer fantasy and sensitivity and more positive attitudes towardsexuality.

(f) Group psychotherapy offers some advantages in permitting an exchange of experiences and the establishment of animproved environment where sexual attitudes can be reformed.

(g) Other short therapies. Other approaches using very different and original methods have been suggested, These include, on the one hand, psychotherapy with a psychodynamic orientation emphasizing the verbalization of emotions, and on the other hand a number of methods aimed at increasing "body awareness" (sensory relaxation, massage, vibrators, etc.).

WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATIONS ON SEXUALITY

A growing body of knowledge indicates that problems in human sexuality are more pervasive and more important to the well being and health of individuals in many cultures than has previously been recognized, and that there are important relationships between sexual ignorance and misconceptions and diverse problems of health and the quality of life. While recognising that it is difficult to arrive at a universally acceptable definition of the totality of human sexuality, the following definition of sexual health is presented as a step in this direction:

Sexual health is the integration of the somatic, emotional, intellectual, and social aspects of sexual being, in ways that are
positively enriching and that enhance personality, communication, and love.

Fundamental to this concept are the right to sexual information and the right to pleasure.

According to Mace, Bannerman & Burton, the concept of sexual health includes three basic elements:

1. a capacity to enjoy and control sexual and reproductive behaviour in accordance with a social and personal ethic,

2. freedom from fear, shame, guilt, false beliefs, and other psychological factors inhibiting
sexual response and impairing sexual relationship,

3. freedom from organic disorders, diseases, and deficiencies that interfere with sexual and reproductive functions.

Thus the notion of sexual health implies a positive approach to human sexuality, and the purpose of sexual health care should be the enhancement of life and personal relationships and not merely counselling and care related to procreation or sexuality transmitted diseases.
