Hotflashes! O! Those night sweats!!
Menopause is no fun. While taking care of so many of you all out there suffering from those miserable hot flashes, I started looking for some solution to track them. There are tons of ways to track fertility and periods but nothing to objectively track MENOPAUSE. I came across this wonderful app. I encourage all those women suffering from the miseries of menopause to track and record their symptoms.
This will also help your doctor and you yourself to track response to natural or medical hormone replacement as well. Here’s the link. I am also placing the link on the Useful links page.

Little Known Facts – Choosing the right tampon?
Dr. Gupta talks about the good, the bad and the ugly about Tampons. How safe are tampons? How scary or not scary are they?
Q: What are the most common ingredients in Tampon?
Most brand name widely available tampons contain, rayon, cotton and a polyester coating for the absorbent core.
The strings may be polyester or cotton and the applicator may be plastic or cardboard.
They may contain also fragrances and/ or odor neutralizers.
Q: Are the tampon ingredients harmful?
The cotton fibers need to be bleached before manufacturing, for which purpose, chlorine may be used. There is a doubt but no clear evidence that the bleaching with chlorine may cause release of a toxin called dioxin, which if absorbed into blood stream may cause cellular damage. Unfortunately, there are no clear, in vivo ( human) studies to show the amount of absorption of dioxin or polypropylene from the … Read More »

PELVIC FLOOR THERAPY FOR INCONTINENCE
What is biofeedback or pelvic floor therapy for urine incontinence?
Biofeedback takes information about something happening in the body and presents it in a way that you can see or hear and understand. Getting on a scale to check your weight or having your blood pressure taken are very simple examples of biofeedback, which can be used to measure any body response such as heart rate or muscle contraction and relaxation.
In biofeedback, the measurement can be displayed on a computer screen or heard as a tone and used to learn about a subtle body function.
Who needs Bio-feedback therapy?
- Urine leakage while coughing, sneezing, running or any other physical exertion.
- Pelvic muscle weakness after child birth.

Understanding the G-Spot with Dr. Gupta
As featured in the Andrea Blair’s blog on monthlygift.com, Dr. Gupta talks about the G-spot.
” From a medical perspective, “the G-Spot is a plexus (or a collection) of nerves and blood vessels in the mid and upper or anterior wall of the vagina,” says Adeeti Gupta MD, FACOG, Gynecologist and Sex Therapy expert.
A ‘plexus’ might not sound very sexy or exciting but a collection of nerves and blood vessels means sensitivity and increased sensitivity leads to opportunity for heightened arousal because this collection “provides blood flow to the vaginal and clitoral area in times of need like during orgasm, labor and after delivery,” adds Dr. Gupta.
According to Dr. Gupta, it’s a common misconception that you need to (or even can) reinforce or ‘enhance’ the G-Spot. “Even if you try to make it thicker with artificial injections, you cannot make it more sensitive to touch to help … Read More »
Shifting focus in Women’s health. No More Obstetrics
After having graduated from my first OBGYN residency in 1997, I dived into women’s health with passion.
Ever since my foray into medicine, I have taken care of thousands of women, guided them through their pregnancies, coached them during their deliveries and helped them navigate the post partum undulations. Staying up on countless nights seemed like a small price to pay for the precious moments I witnessed as a new life came flying (or not) into this world. The joyous cries of new parents combined with the howling of the newborn were all worthwhile. I never turned away any woman who needed me. High risk or not! I took on every challenge and went overboard to ensure the safest and healthiest outcome.
Since my graduation, I have worked in three countries. Having undergone various forms of training while traversing different institutions, I have thrived everywhere, flourishing with the affection emanating … Read More »
