  Do you have a young daughter, approaching the age of puberty? If yes, go through the following post – and get an idea of the gynaecological factors that you need to be aware of for her.   As a professional gynaecologist, I am often flustered by the sheer ineptitude and ignorance with which puberty is dealt with in young girls. Confusion among parents is, according to me, one of the chief causes for this – while young ladies also often feel shy to communicate with their parents (yes, even with their moms) about the internal and external changes happening to their body. In the current discourse, I have made an attempt to clear the air about some of the basic gynaecological issues that a young lady would experience during the period of puberty:           i.             Menstruation cycles – As a girl reaches 12-13 years of age, menarche (the onset of her menstruation cycles...

  Summary: As your girl reaches the age of ten or eleven, it is of essence to start informing her about the basics of her gynecological health and possible problems. In the following post, I have highlighted some of the health-related terms and concepts that I educated my young daughter about.     Even to this day, many mothers feel rather awkward to discuss gynaecological issues with their daughters. It is understandable that a young girl would feel a bit shy to share the details of the physical changes in her body (which start from around the age of ten) – and the onus is on the moms, to put them at their ease and to familiarize them with the basic tips and pointers regarding sexual health. I myself have a 17-year old daughter, and, from nearly six years back, I had started to educate her about the basics of gynecological health: Cervix/vagina – I had taken my girl to a local sexology center, where detailed interactive sessions about the female repr...

  Be Careful About These 10 Sexual Injuries Summary: If you are not careful enough while having an intercourse, you might suffer many types of potentially problematic injuries. Over here, I have written about some sex-related injuries that I have seen in some of my patients.   If you thought that sexual intercourses can hardly ever lead to physical injuries, you would be in error. Till date, I have seen ladies with a wide range of mild to serious vulvar injuries at my clinic. Most of these problems occur due to an overflow of passion during the physical unions – and they can pose problems for pregnancy and regular ovulation cycles in the long-run. Some of the cases of straddle injuries that I have treated are: Sudden dip in blood pressure levels – These mostly occur due to the usage of lubricants that contain high levels of nitroglycerin and such other harmful chemicals.

  8 Common Sexually Transmitted Diseases You Need to Be Wary Of Summary: Sexually transmitted diseases, also known as STDs, can be of various types – and almost all of them are caused due to bacterial or viral attacks. In what follows, I have provided a brief overview of a few relatively common STDs around the globe.   I have been involved in advanced gynecological research for more than seven years now. Over time, I have grown familiar with the suitable treatment procedures for practically all types of ‘lady-like’ problems. While general fertility problems or pregnancy-related complications are rather common, what alarms me most is the high (and increasing) incidence of serious sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) among younger ladies. Over here, I have written about some of the most frequently reported cases of STDs at any pregnancy and infertility center in Kolkata: Human Immunodeficiency virus – With well over 55000 new preys all across the world every...
