Hello Friends!
I did gain some insights to why women act the way they do most times...Well, knowledge they say, ''is power''. Source: Punch Newspapers:
As a woman ages, her body produces less of all the sex hormones, which include estrogens, progesterone and testosterone. By the time she clocks 40, the production of testosterone in her body is about half the amount she had in her 20s.
Although the ovary continues to produce testosterone after menopause, these levels drop gradually after this time. Women who have their ovaries surgically removed have even lower levels of testosterone. Testosterone is also produced in small quantities in a woman’s body, though it is usually regarded as a male hormone.
Wives, do you know that sex time is not the best time to shed tears, because the scent of a woman’s tears decreases sexual arousal in men? Some researchers have said that a woman’s libido is linked to her testosterone level.
Do you wonder why your desire for junk food increases when you are observing your menstrual period? Well, here is the reason: Some women crave strange foods when they are in their period, simply because women are hormonal beings, and hormones cause cravings.
As the cycle swings, the hormone swings alongside. This makes a woman’s taste buds want spicy and salty foods to prevent anaemia, so that the iron level goes up and the volume of blood increases.
With the changes in metabolism, some women may feel cravings for carbohydrates, or any number of other foods. Do you also wonder why your desire for sex increases when you are ‘turned on’? Hormones are responsible for a surge in libido during menstrual period. They cause vaginal secretions to increase and the breasts to swell, so there is sexual arousal.
Do you wonder why you have such a heavy flow during menstruation? Maybe your body is trying to tell you something because your period is your ‘barometer.’ A heavy flow can be a marker of uterine fibroids, which are benign growths on the uterus, or thyroid problems or hormone irregularities. It is not healthy to have menstrual clotting, which often indicates the existence of fibroids. And if you suffer from this or you have symptoms of anaemia or low iron, such as headache and dizziness, see your doctor quickly.
Do you wonder why you suffer from diarrhea and constipation during your menstrual period? Again, your hormones are the cause. All women react in different ways to hormones. Actually, the hormones in a woman’s body control her temperature, especially around the time that she ovulates. Also, they are responsible for the acne [pimples] that appear on her face around the menstrual periods, the tenderness of the breasts, and many other things.
In fact, the slowing down of the metabolism in the gastrointestinal tract is the reason why many pregnant women become constipated or have diarrhea. You can avoid infections during your menstrual period if you shorten the period of time that you wear your sanitary pad. Sanitary pads should not be worn more than six or eight hours a day.
Sanitary pads worn for longer periods can be a medium for bacteria and can lead to uterine infections and toxic shock syndrome. If you are a lover of tampon, bear it in mind that it can be stuck and get wedged behind your cervix. Prescribing antibiotics, especially during your menstrual period, to cure some aliment can allow the growth of yeast infection such as ‘toilet disease,’ itching in the private part, and sexually transmitted diseases. While taking antibiotic drugs, try to eat yogurt, which is the more natural way, of taking antifungal to balance up.
Do you wonder why your menstrual cycle is not always regular? Well, a group of researchers at George Washington University did a first-of-its-kind survey of the menstrual histories of more than 600 women and they found that only 28 percent of women had textbook cycles.
If you are over 45 and you are pushing past 35 days, it may be because you are in your pre-menopausal stage and you are beginning to ovulate less frequently than before. As women age from their 20s through their early 40s, the average menstrual cycle declines from 30 to 27 days (though many women had cycles that were longer or shorter). This average increases as they approach menopause: up to 35 days when they are three to four years away, then 45 days two years prior to the change, and finally 80 days in the year before they stop altogether.
However, if you have a 14-day cycle, followed by a 36-day cycle, it is usually an indication that you have a hormone imbalance. You should see your doctor, especially if you are still at an age in which you may want to get pregnant. However, if missing periods entirely and you are not pregnant, your ovaries are probably failing to release an egg (anovulation), which means your body will not produce the hormones that guide menstruation.
Stress can trigger anovulation. But you do not have to worry if it happens just once or twice a year. In older women, a “missed” period may also simply be a very long cycle. Experts say that when you see a 60-day cycle, that is a good indication you are approaching menopause.
A research conducted by the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel found that ginseng root boosts arousal and sexual satisfaction, while chocolates ncreases desire.
A group of scientists recently carried out a research on why a typical teenage Nigeria girl becomes sexually active indiscriminately and the report was sent to my office. In the report, 90 per cent of mothers claim to have spoken to their daughters about the danger of indiscriminate sexual activities, but only 21 percent of the girls confirmed this statement.
About 50 percent say their mums have never talked to them about sex. And 94 per cent of mothers say they did not have a conversation about sex with their own mothers before their first sexual experience.
Then 42 percent of these girls say their beliefs about sex are mostly influenced by their by religion education, their own thoughts and experiences and have nothing to do with their parents. While just 12 per cent percent of girls say their beliefs about sex are most influenced by their mothers’ beliefs and experiences, the most common message mums say they pass on during sex talk is, “A man will tell you anything to get you into bed, it doesn’t mean he loves you or will be marry you.’’ Be careful of men all they want is use you and dump you.’’.
Also, 70 per cent of girls say they get most of their information about sex from internet and friends. And 87 per cent say if they have the opportunity to talk to their mums like their friend about sex, it will shape their commitment to abstinence before marriage and be more comfortable about their sexuality. This is what Nigerian young girls think about sex. Do you know what your girl is really thinking about sex?
Do you know that you can have a great, long-lasting sex life with the same married partner as long as both of you remain married? Another group of researchers discovered this among a group of 600 married couples who had been married for over 25 years. However, they discovered that these couples were not having movie-style sex. In movie sex, relationship sex is romantic and passionate. You idolise your partner; you are turned on even before you begin, and you make love every time you are together.
In a progressive relationship, sex is more about intimacy and security. It is integrated with friendship and companionship. It was also discovered that couples who keep their sex lives going develop a style early in their marriage.
They consciously create time for sex. Most long-term couples plan their sexual experiences. It is like going on a holiday trip: part of the pleasure is looking forward to it. Sexually satisfied couples also know that sometimes the “holiday” will be great and other times it will be business as usual.
This type of healthy, mutually pleasuring sex really helps strengthen the bond between couples.
