Can menstrual cups reduce BV and STIs? 💡 A study in Kenya is investigating how reusable menstrual cups—specifically disc-style cups that can be worn during sex—may prevent bacterial imbalances, reduce infection risks, and support safer sexual practices during menstruation. This research focuses on economically vulnerable people who engage in sex for their livelihood. What stands out to me is how these products could address both menstrual management and safer sex. I love menstrual discs! As we continue to learn from these findings, they have the potential to shape the future of menstrual and sexual health, globally. At nixit, we believe menstrual products should fit into your life, not disrupt it.

While reading a report on sexual health on topic Sexually transmitted infections among key populations in India: A protocol for systematic review, by National Library of Medicine Government of India. This data came into picture, in our country of 140billion people, 0-3% people only get tested for common curable STI’s. We must start planning for the better opportunities for common people to learn and educate them about the sexual health topics and concerns, and make it subjective and easily available for the general public. We must start focusing on designing strategies for treating sexually transmitted diseases by proactively focusing on the people patterns and their responses on the several reproductive health topics! Whether they are actively participating in maintaining their sexual health for a healthy living. Inviting connections to join in for the discussion over topic.

Why is sexual health awareness important for women? - STI prevention: STIs can have serious consequences for women's reproductive health, including pelvic inflammatory disease, infertility, and cervical cancer. Understanding how STIs are transmitted and practicing safe sex can significantly reduce the risk of infection. - Empowerment: Knowledge about sexual health empowers women to make informed choices about their bodies and relationships. It fosters open communication with partners and healthcare providers, leading to safer and more satisfying sexual experiences. - Reduced anxiety: Uncertainty and misinformation about sexual health can cause anxiety and stress. Having accurate information and access to resources can alleviate these concerns and promote overall well-being. Promoting sexual health awareness: - Open communication: Talk openly and honestly with your partner(s) about sexual needs, concerns, and boundaries. Discuss STI testing and safe sex practices before engaging in sexual activity. - Regular checkups: Schedule regular checkups with your healthcare provider to discuss sexual health concerns, get tested for STIs, and receive appropriate guidance. - Reliable resources: Seek information from reputable sources like Planned Parenthood, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and trusted healthcare professionals. #womenshealth #womenempowerment #empoweringwomen #empowerwomenbyamal #sexualhealth

The article from TODAY discusses challenges and misconceptions related to men's sexual health in Singapore. Dr. Ronny Tan, president of the Society for Men's Health Singapore, highlights that many men only seek medical help for sexual health issues when symptoms, like erectile dysfunction, arise 🛑. He notes that younger men are increasingly facing performance anxiety 😰, especially when trying to conceive, often exacerbated by stress and timing intercourse during fertile periods 🕒. The article also addresses the dangers of unregulated drugs purchased online, which some men resort to out of embarrassment or convenience ⚠️. To improve men's health awareness, the society is engaging through social media 📱 and public health talks 🗣️, focusing on educating men about preventive care and safe treatments. They also recommend HPV vaccination 💉 for men, given its link to preventing certain cancers and genital warts, though the uptake remains low 📉. Dr. Tan emphasizes the need for regular health check-ups 🩺 and seeking proper medical advice for sexual health concerns instead of relying on dubious remedies 🚫. I fully agree with the recommendation for the HPV vaccine, as it plays a crucial role in preventing certain cancers and genital warts. In my practice, I also see men who are hesitant to discuss sexual health issues or seek proper treatment, often turning to unreliable sources for solutions. It's essential to encourage more open conversations about men's health and promote preventive measures like the HPV vaccine to improve overall well-being. https://lnkd.in/gDZtTpay
