What are the Signs & Symptoms of Ovarian Cancer?

Posted on May 2, 2021

What are the Signs & Symptoms of Ovarian Cancer?
Re-Published with permission from Ovarian.org.

Ovarian cancer is difficult to detect, especially in the early stages. This is partly due to the fact that the ovaries – two small, almond-shaped organs on either side of the uterus – are deep within the abdominal cavity. The following are often identified by women as some of the signs and symptoms of ovarian cancer:

  • Bloating
  • Pelvic or abdominal pain
  • Trouble eating or feeling full quickly
  • Feeling the need to urinate urgently or often

Other symptoms of ovarian cancer can include:

  • Fatigue
  • Upset stomach or heartburn
  • Back pain
  • Pain during sex
  • Constipation or menstrual changes

If symptoms are new and persist for more than two weeks, it is recommended that a woman see her doctor, and a gynecologic oncologist before surgery if cancer is suspected. Image below from Ovarian.org

Persistence of Symptoms

When the symptoms are persistent, when they do not resolve with normal interventions (like diet change, exercise, laxatives, rest) it is imperative for a woman to see her doctor. Persistence of symptoms is key. Because these signs and symptoms of ovarian cancer have been described as vague or silent, only approximately 15 percent of ovarian cancer is diagnosed in the early stages. Symptoms typically occur in advanced stages when tumor growth creates pressure on the bladder and rectum, and fluid begins to form. For more information please go to: https://www.ovarian.org

When Sex Hurts

Posted on April 30, 2021

when sex hurts what to doWhen Sex Hurts

 by Marsha Rand, LMFT

If you have ever felt pain with sex, you are not alone. Estimates from studies indicate that approximately 30% of women have experienced pain with sex at some point in their lives. Approximately 8-20% of women have ongoing pain with sex. Estimates for men who experience pain with sex is at least 5%. Pain during or after sex can be caused by many things, such as illness, infection, a physical condition or a psychological condition.

Painful sex is not just a physical problem. It is a pain problem that effects your sense of self and, if you are in a relationship, it effects your partner and your relationship. Your partner needs to understand that you didn’t choose to hnatural remedy for painful sex ave pain. This pain does not mean that you are rejecting them. It is important that you and your partner talk honestly about the pain and how it is effecting each of you. A sex therapist can help you and your partner develop helpful ways of being open without adding guilt or blame to an already stressful situation.

relax to help with painOne of the first steps in any treatment for painful sex is relaxation. It is only natural that, when you experience something uncomfortable, you have a tendency to tighten against or try to avoid what might bring discomfort again. When the body is tight, any pain sensation is amplified. Abdominal breathing is a natural practice that can promote relaxation and lessen the sensation of pain. Practice the following basic abdominal breathing exercise and simply notice your breath as it moves in and out.

tips to increase your comfort during sexBasic Breathing

To begin this exercise, lie comfortably on your bed with your clothing loosened and legs slightly apart. Close your eyes and gradually allow your breathing to slow to a natural rhythm.
Now place your hand on your abdomen just below your rib cage. Inhale deeply. If your hand resting on your abdomen rises with your breath, you are doing abdominal breathing. Exhale slowly. Pause slightly. Then slowly breathe in through your nose. Exhale slowly through the nose. Pause then inhale again. Exhale slowly and fully. As you continue breathing at a pace that is comfortable for you, let your body soften with each exhalation. Continue for a set of 10 breaths. While continuing to rest, notice your body. Does it feel softer and more relaxed than when you began the practice?

Practice abdominal breathing at least once each day, gradually adding more time until you are practicing five to ten minutes each day.

Best Sex Organic Lubricant for painful sexLubrication is an important element for pleasurable sex. The use of a quality lube made from organic ingredients, like Aloe Cadabra lubricant & moisturizer, can soothe delicate tissue and make sexual play and intercourse more enjoyable. When sex is uncomfortable or painful, additional lubrication is a must. Integrate the application of lube into sexual play. Be generous. Any excess of this aloe-based product will be absorbed into the body. (If your tissue is inflamed, it could cause slight burning – similar to how it feels when applying aloe to sunburned skin.)

help with painful sexIf you experience pain, talk with your healthcare provider or a certified sex therapist. A specially trained professional can help figure out the source of the pain and recommend the best treatment for you. Sexual pain is best treated using a holistic approach that includes medical treatment, nutrition, lifestyle and emotional support. It is best provided by a multidisciplinary team that includes a knowledgable doctor, physical therapist and certified sex therapist who is also a relationship therapist. Other professionals such as an acupuncturist, massage therapist and nutritionist may also be helpful.

Addressing Anxiety

Posted on March 26, 2020

How to be a resource for someone who is struggling

Anxiety is the most common mental health problem in the U.S., so we at the Optimist Daily are big on sharing stories on stress reduction, from foods that help to meditation methods. If you have never experienced anxiety yourself, it can be difficult to understand what a friend or family member is experiencing, but this does not mean you can’t help. This week we are sharing an article from PsychAlive with a couple simple tips for helping someone who is struggling with anxiety, so you can be a support system for those you love.

Reaching out and asking if a friend is okay is a big first step for helping someone who may not be comfortable asking. Be sure to listen carefully, and assure them that you are there to listen. Let them know it’s perfectly normal to struggle with anxiousness. Sometimes someone just needs open ears and an open heart.

Lastly, encourage them to consider professional help. While talking to friends and family can be beneficial, reaching out to a therapist can help people break through the root of their anxiety.

The stigma surrounding mental health can make it difficult to talk about. Checking in with those around you means you can be a resource for someone who may be struggling in silence, and it helps break the stigma about addressing mental health.

Fat Bear Week

Posted on March 3, 2020

These rotund bears are the greatest thing you’ll see on the Internet today

Hibernating to skip the cold months of winter may sound lazy, but the fact of the matter is, bears have a lot of work to do to prepare for their long slumber. They have to eat, then eat some more, and then eat a little more. Well, basically they just eat nonstop until they look giant stuffed teddy bears. The result of all this eating is quite frankly amazing, which is why the employees of Katmai National Park in Alaska created Fat Bear Week: a whole week to honor the brown bears that have grown the fattest over summer.

Since 2014, Katmai National Park asks people online around this time of year to vote, March Madness-style, on which bear has grown the fattest over the summer. Between now and Tuesday, October 8, the park will post picture match-ups of bear pairs on its Facebook page. And you, loyal citizen, get to choose which one looks fattest.

To be clear, this is not about fat-shaming, a press release from Katmai insists. It’s a celebration of life. After all, “large amounts of body fat in brown bears is indicative of good health and strong chances of survival” over the winter.

Do you need to say NO more?

Posted on March 1, 2020

6 signs you need to say NO from time to time

Saying “no” to a request is understandably difficult. We either want to help, want to be liked, want to accommodate a friend’s request, or we fear we may upset someone we care about. That’s why we’re naturally inclined to say yes when it comes to people we care about or things we are truly interested in.

But if your schedule is already filled with work, obligations, chores, deadlines, and community events, you may be doing more harm to yourself the more you say yes to requests. If you are overstretched with different demands, you may start feeling exhausted and overly tired. Even worse, you won’t be able to perform your best at everything.

Needless to say, being helpful and willing is generally a good thing. We may feel more satisfied with ourselves and create stronger relations with others, but this shouldn’t come at the cost of our own well-being. How do we know when to say no then?

These 6 signs may tell us that we need to start saying “no” more often:

You feel exhausted, overworked or burnt out.
You lack time, energy or money for things that matter the most.
Your quality of work is starting to deteriorate.
You’re unfulfilled.
You regularly feel angry or resentful.
Your health (physical or emotional) is starting to suffer.
When you are starting to feel overcommitted, sometimes you need to take a step back and say no from time to time. You will feel less stressed and start to feel you are taking back control of your life.
