What Your Sex Life Says About Your Health By Paula Spencer

Sex is great until, well, it's not so great. When something goes awry, it's easy to blame being in a bad patch or a bad relationship. Or ... could your body be trying to tell you something?

"There's an increasing awareness that sex isn't just about quality of life—sex can be a harbinger of underlying medical conditions," says urologist John Mulhall, director of the Sexual Medicine Program and the Sexual Medicine Research Laboratory at Weill Medical College of Cornell University in New York City.

The following 10 sex scenes are no fun, but they're worth mentioning to your favorite primary
doctor or urologist (the specialist who handles many men's plumbing issues).

Sex scene No. 1: You're just not interested any more.

It might be: Low testosterone

Lots of things can cause your sex drive to shift into neutral: work stress, falling out of love, lack of sleep. (See also: But what if those things don't apply and you'd still rather count sheep than make love? Or if the sights and touches that once turned you on leave you literally unmoved? You might have a hormone out of whack.

"Testosterone is the most important metabolic hormone for men," Mulhall says. "If it's low, you're at increased risk for osteoporosis, type 2 diabetes, coronary artery disease, metabolic syndrome, and premature death—and your only symptom may be low libido."

What to do: Get your testosterone level checked with a simple blood test. Make the appointment for before 10 a.m., Mulhall says, when levels are highest. If yours is low, you'll be referred to a urologist or endocrinologist who can help you evaluate treatment options, which include testosterone supplements.

Sex scene No. 2: You're just not interested—and you're feeling down, too.

It might be: Depression—or depression meds

Loss of interest in sex is a classic sign of clinical depression. Yet the treatment for depression can have the same side effect. Talk about a catch-22. Drugs in the SSRI family of antidepressants (including Prozac, Paxil, and Zoloft) have been found in many studies to zap desire in both men and women. (They can also cause anorgasmia—the inability to climax.)

What to do: If you haven't been diagnosed with depression and you're feeling low (along with experiencing low libido and other common symptoms of depression) mention all this to a doctor.

Clinical depression is highly treatable with talk therapy and medication. If you're currently being treated with an antidepressant, ask your prescribing doctor about switching to a class of drugs less associated with sexual side effects, such as bupropion (Wellbutrin). Ask, too, about taking a "drug holiday" from an SSRI if you're on one; some doctors endorse quitting these meds for a day or two at a time in order to allow libido to bloom.

Sex scene No. 3: More and more often, you can't hold an erection.

It might be: A heart problem (the cardiovascular kind, not the romantic kind)

Say you're a relatively healthy midlife guy, a little overweight, and you start having erectile trouble. Count yourself lucky. It might be your tip-off that you're three to five years away from coronary artery disease, says Mulhall. "Two-thirds of men who have had heart attacks had erectile dysfunction (ED) that predated angina by at least three years," he says. "Men are increasingly being diagnosed with ED due to low blood flow, which increases their chance of heart disease."

What to do: Get your cholesterol checked. It's abnormal in 75 percent of men with ED, Mulhall says. "ED isn't just about having bad sex; it's a window to your vascular health," he says. And before things worsen, start exercising and lose weight.

Sex scene No. 4: You suddenly can't get it up—but you were fine last month.

It might be: A blocked artery, especially if your leg mysteriously hurts, too
The occasional limp penis is a casualty of naturally decreasing hormone levels as men age and experience changes in relationships, says Adam Tierney, a urologist with Dean Health Systems in Madison, Wis. But what happens when ED comes on suddenly? An unusual but worrisome cause is aortoiliac occlusive disease, or Leriche's syndrome, a narrowing of a heart artery due to blockage.

Hallmarks of Leriche's syndrome: erectile problems that come on suddenly (one week you're fine, and the next you have persistent issues) and are accompanied by pain in the leg (especially the calf) or the buttock, especially when you walk or exercise. People with problems of the nervous system (Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, diabetes) are at higher risk, as are smokers and those with high blood pressure.

What to do: Report this unusual combination of symptoms to your doctor. "It's another kind of blood flow issue," Tierney says.

TIP OF THE WEEK Chicken Soup!


My mom always made me eat chicken soup when I was sick. Some say that the steam helps your breathing and clears up congestion. Others say that the spices that are often added to chicken soup, such as garlic and pepper (all ancient treatments for respiratory diseases), work the same way as modern cough medicines, thinning mucus and making breathing easier. So listen to what my mom said and eat some chicken soup if you’re sick! Here are some great recipes that will help you stick to your diet!

Tip of the Week - 11/13/11


TIP OF THE WEEK

Shoulder:

Whether you have a sore shoulder or a torn rotator cuff, a stiff sore shoulder has the propensity to take on a life of its own. Your shoulder affects everything, from the way you sleep to the way you BLEEP.

            Peter, one of Ty’s (actually he watches his son get trained by Ty) clients has been complaining about his shoulder for YEARS. I tell him to go to the doctor, ice it, warm it up……being 71 and stubborn- he hasn’t listened and now can’t sleep at night (gravity pulls on the unsupported arm causing more pain and strain).
            The most important thing to do is NOT ignore the problem, hoping it will go away on it's own. It won't, I’ve dislocated both shoulders, torn both rotator cuffs, a bicep tendon, broken both clavicles, sternum, a scapula, sprained both ankles, broke my tibia, toes and fingers……..and know without a doubt letting injuries go is like thinking you can outmaneuver the IRS….Eventually Peter will land in surgery because the problem became too big to fix by simple rehab exercises. It's crucial that you follow the advice of an expert on rotator cuff rehabilitation. They will show you exactly what physical therapy exercises you should follow and what order to do these in. Below is an exercise I’ve been told to do by physical therapists on many occasions. It is a great way to activate the supraspinatus, subscapularis, infraspinatus and teres minor.

            The rotator cuff should be strengthened to rehabilitate shoulder injuries and prevent future shoulder problems. There are different exercises to target the individual rotator cuff muscles. One of the better exercises is the side-lying external rotation. Lie on a bench sideways, with the arm next to the side and flexed about 90 degrees at the elbow. Rotate the upper arm, raising the dumbbell towards the ceiling to a 45 degree angle. Keep the elbow flexed, and the upper arm close to the body. Pace at two seconds up and close to the body. Pace at two seconds up and four seconds down.
If you’re worried about a stiff sore shoulder, go to the doctor, spend $200.00 less hiring a fitness proctor. Once you’re shoulder feels better, get rid of your skin scales and hang-nails with 25% off facials and manicures.

Fit Tip 10/21/2011 - Stress

Stress-

The problems of stress levels in our society are well documented. In fact, I’ve read that stress is responsible for up to 80% of disease. There can hardly be anyone who does not identify with the feelings of being 'stressed out'. On a long-term basis it is understood that stress is not only cumulative, it is actually causing us serious physical damage. So how do we cope with it?

A healthy diet comprised of fruits, vegetables, meats and nuts coupled with 3 to 5 days of exercise will help overcompensate for many of the negative side effects of stress!

Regular Massage is generally considered part of complementary and alternative medicine. It's increasingly being offered along with standard treatment for a wide range of medical conditions and situations. Many studies have found massage helpful for Stress relief.

Reduce stress, re-align, reduce soreness, boost your immune system and reinforce your work out goals with one of our world class massage therapists……they’re the best in the business and are willing to prove it by giving you a free fifteen minute massage.

Try us absolutely free for fifteen minutes with no risk. With fifteen minutes of focused massage you’ll know just how good we are! Give us fifteen minutes and we will earn your business or we don't deserve to have you as a customer!!!
