Skincare Myths on the Internet Debunked by Skincare Expert – Dr. Megha Chaturvedi

Skincare Myths on the Internet Debunked by Skincare Expert – Dr. Megha Chaturvedi

Thanks to the internet & old wives’ tales, there are ‘n’ numbers of skincare advice being thrown around—and not all of it is good. In fact, some of this ‘advice’ can really be harmful to your skin & health. With the help of Dr. Megha Chaturvedi (BAMS), a skincare specialist at Dr. Health, I investigated five common skin care claims to see exactly why they don’t hold up. Continue to read this article, and see what I found out below, plus, get recommendations for what you should be doing instead. 

Everyone wants to feel beautiful with the skin they’re in. So, to take care of your skin, you purchase a bunch of products, listen to advice on the internet or from friends & family, and think you’re set. But unfortunately, it is not always as simple as that. 

Today, my blog is all set & prepared to bust some very popular myths on the internet. I asked Dr. Megha Chaturvedi, consultant skincare expert at Dr. Health, to clear up the truth behind these common beauty fables… So without further ado, let’s start with. Here are a few skincare myths you don’t want to be fooled by.

Not Washing your Face Causes Acne & Breakouts

Myth #1:Not Washing your Face Causes Acne & Breakouts

Fact: By stating this, I am not upholding unhygienic practices. Hygiene is critical to each individual’s overall health & also plays an important role in skincare. Dr. Megha Chaturvedi says, “Hygiene doesn't play a vital role in the development of Acne. Acne involves oil production, bacteria, clogged pores, & inflammation, with hormones & stress playing a significant role and diet (to a lesser extent) for some individuals.” Not washing your face might not be a great idea when it comes to managing breakouts & Acne, but it is not the definitive cause that leads to them.

Higher the SPF, the Better the Sun Protection

Myth #2: Higher the SPF, the Better the Sun Protection

FactBelieve it or not, but this is a myth that most of us have fallen for while shopping for sunscreen. Most of the individuals are under the impression that if SPF is higher, the sunscreen will provide better sun protection & prevent them from tanning. However, SPF (Sun Protection Factor) works inversely – above a higher SPF barely has any benefits over a lower SPF. An SPF 30 blocks 97% UV rays, whereas SPF 50 blocks 98% UV rays. Dr. Megha says, “SPF 30 is more than sufficient for everyday use, and anything higher than this is just a marketing gimmick and an unnecessary feed for your skin.”

You’ll Age Faster if you Wear Makeup Regularly

Myth #3: You’ll Age Faster if you Wear Makeup Regularly

Fact: Makeup is a women’s best friend, but is it true that makeup can turn into an enemy which causes premature aging? Honestly speaking, this is a myth that I was eager to bust. With a good skincare routine, there is nothing on this planet that can make you age faster. Dr. Megha Chaturvedi says, “one needs to ensure that they are using good quality products & then removing them all before they call it for the day. And, these two things will go a very long way.” 

Dark Circles are a Sign you're Tired

Myth #4: Dark Circles are a Sign you're Tired.

Fact: Dark circles are often considered the universal sign of being tired. While a lack of sleep can cause dark circles under your eyes, it’s not the only possible cause. “Discoloration around the eyes occurs when blood & fluids are not circulating efficiently”, points out Dr. Megha Chaturvedi. She also says, “you might be wondering why you have dark circles if you are not tired. A variety of factors can cause you to look tired & worn down.”

Yes, a lack of sleep can definitely exacerbate the issue, but it is not the only cause. It could mean that you have a lack of iron or are not getting enough oxygen, she adds. Not to mention, dark circles also become much more prominent the thinner the skin is, and that naturally occurs with age.

Only Teenagers can Get Acne & Pimples

Myth #5: Only Teenagers can Get Acne & Pimples

Fact: As teenagers, we are often told that we will eventually outgrow Acne as we grow up. Though it is true that teenagers get Acne as they go through puberty & have fluctuating levels of hormones, they are not the only ones who can get it. But, Dr. Megha Chaturvedi (BAMS) claims, “Acne can occur at any point in our lives, including adulthood. While pregnancy & menopause are the common culprits of Acne & pimples, poor lifestyle habits, inadequate water intake, irregular eating habits, pollution, etc., can cause it too.” 

Unfortunately, acne triggers are not age-dependent but can be managed using herbal Ayurvedic treatment & skincare remedies. Basic habits like cleansing twice a day, following the basic skincare routine, always taking off your makeup at night, and eating well can go a long way in achieving clearer & better-nourished skin, she says.

Words from Dr. Megha Chaturvedi

Stay away from these skincare myths and follow the right advice. At the end of the day, there is a lot of information out there that might not be true. In fact, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably isn’t. Plus, there are so many people out there who either claim to be experts or find skincare hacks that they think are game-changers but aren’t doing your skin any favors.

Now, it’s time to put your knowledge up & put together a skincare routine that can help keep your complexion in tip-top shape.

World No Tobacco Day 2022: How Cigarette Smoke Can Affect Male Fertility

World No Tobacco Day 2022

So let’s use World No Tobacco Day (May 31, 2022) as a launching pad to a brighter and less smokey future! World No Tobacco Day is dedicated to draw global attention to the tobacco epidemic and the preventable death and disease it causes. Infertility rates in both male & female smokers are about twice the rate of infertility found in the non-smokers.

Smoking & Male Fertility: Just the Facts

Can smoking hurt your sperm? Yes. It can also negatively affect male fertility. 

Smoking is injurious to health. The caution you that may have come across ubiquitously in your day-to-day life. But still, it goes unheeded. Cigarette or tobacco smoking not only affect your lungs but also leads to the health of your kidneys, heart, & even sperms. Yeah, it can lead to male and female infertility. In this article, Dr. Himanshu Dhawan, Male Infertility Specialist, Dr. Health, sheds light on the effects of cigarette & tobacco smoking on Male Fertility.

There is no secret that smoking is damaging to our health. Most individuals are aware that it enhances the risk for heart, vascular, & lung diseases, though still, a major chunk doesn’t realize that the toxin contained in cigarettes or tobacco can also affect fertility in both men & women, leading to erectile dysfunction (ED), poor sperm quality, & pregnancy complications as well. Recent data shows that smoking habits might be responsible for fertility struggles in as many as 13% of couples.

For couples struggling with infertility - knowledge is power. To aid these couples to improve their chances of getting pregnant, fertility specialist Dr. Himanshu Dhawan, BAMS, explains how smoking impacts fertility for men.

Smoking Harms Male Fertility

Does Male Smoking Cause Male Infertility?

Cigarettes contain toxins that are often blamed for their bad effect on male health. Men who smoke are exposed to high levels of metals like cadmium & lead that have been linked to decreased fertility. Lead & cadmium levels have been found to significantly affect semen quality resulting in poor sperm concentration, shape, & movement. 

However, you must know that smoking doesn’t stand to be the only cause of infertility in men. There can also be other causes of infertility, such as age, low sperm production, or abnormal sperm function.

Can Smoking Affect Sperms?

Smoking does not spare any organs or cells, & hence, it has a negative impact on sperm health due to smoking being unavoidable. Studies have shown a decrease in the quality of semen and a 23% decrease in sperm concentration in men who smoke as compared to a non-smoker. Smoking also impacts sperm motility which makes it difficult to fertilize eggs. And, if the egg is fertilized, the embryo might have fewer chances of survival due to harmful chemicals in the embryo & growing fetus. Smoking in men also enhances the risk of a non-viable pregnancy & hence it puts you at high risk of miscarriages.

Smoking Causes Low Sperm Count
Smoking Causes Several DNA Changes

Does Smoking Lead to DNA Damage in Sperm?

Some recent studies have found that the sperm of smokers has enhanced DNA fragmentation. The DNA-damaged sperm might lead to problems with embryo development, fertilization, embryo implantation, & increased miscarriage rates. Male smokers might also have abnormal hormone levels that can affect fertility.

Dr. Himanshu Dhawan also says, “Male smoking is related to decreased pregnancy rates & possibly increased miscarriage rates. Secondhand smoke can harm female partners’ fertility, as well. When he smokes, it not only decreases his sperm health. It also decreases her fertility.”

How Can Smoking Cause Erectile Dysfunction (ED)?

Smoking cigarettes, cigars, or pipe tobacco on the regular basis can damage your blood vessels, reducing arterial blood flow throughout the body. The key culprit is nicotine, which is an identified vasoconstrictor (a type of chemical which reduces blood flow throughout the body).

It can be extremely damaging to your sexual performance, as erections are reliant on the mix of signaling from your brain and a dependable level of blood supply via the arteries of men's penis. When you feel sexually aroused, your brain sends the signal to nerves in the men’s penis. This triggers the opening of arteries, increasing blood flow to the corpus cavernosum—the spongy tissue of the penis which fills & hardens to form the erection.

Smoking Damages Tissues In The Penis

Reduced blood flow from smoking or other unhealthy habits can make it much more problematic to achieve the erection, leaving you with a weak erection or no physical response at all to sexual arousal. Scientific study shows that the severity of erectile dysfunction in smokers is closely linked to their level of exposure to cigarette or tobacco smoke. It also appears to show that quitting tobacco and cigarette smoking can help reduce & eliminate ED symptoms.

Final Verdict

Add the fact that cigarette and tobacco smoking is linked to sperm damage & other fertility issues into the equation & it is clear that cigarettes are not really compatible with sexual & reproductive health.

With this information... Let’s all join together to motivate dedication BEFORE PLANNING FOR FATHERHOOD & SAY GOODBYE to tobacco smoking anytime soon... So that

5 Dreadful Factors to Blame for Male Infertility – Tips to Overcome it

5 Dreadful Factors to Blame for Male Infertility

 

Want to become a dad? Here's what you should do to give you & your partner the best chance of parenthood. Did you know -wearing tight pants or maintaining sitting in a single place for long stretches can result in a low sperm count or male infertility? Continue to read this article and embark on all your answers.

In the last two decades, the reproductive health of males has taken a serious beating seeing a bunch of factors, most of which can be credited to the faulty lifestyle. From bike riding to wearing tight pants and, ironically, smoking & drinking alcohol, there are lots of factors.

Says Dr. Himanshu Dhawan (BAMS), "It is a serious problem of modern-day lifestyle today. Male Infertility has increased many folds due to people’s bad habits & poor lifestyles. Any type of addiction is indeed bad for the reproductive health", "But, the problem can always be corrected with the lifestyle improvements and Ayurvedic treatments", he added.

Female fertility is often in the news, & we know that a women’s age & health can affect her ability to become pregnant. We do not see so much discussion on male fertility, but if you are trying to become a dad, you need to be aware of the factors that can temporarily or permanently reduce male fertility. Some factors to pay attention to when you are planning to conceive are –

 

Beware! Prolonged Sitting Can Heat Up The Testicles

Sitting, whether it is for work, for long driving trips, or just to watch television, can also trap heat around the testicles, and that is not beneficial for male fertility. Take breaks to stand and walk around. Prolonged sitting in your workplace can also overheat your testicles. Thus, if you sit at a desk all day, it's possible that the quality of your sperm might be affected. 
Remaining sedentary might be particularly challenging if you drive for a living. One study that is looking at taxi drivers suggests that car vibrations might contribute to fertility issues.

Laptops Can Burn You More Than A Slap

Considering laptops can get hot enough to burn the legs, guys may want to keep them away from the crown jewels, as well. There’s evidence that, just like in hot tubs & saunas, the heat from a laptop can raise the scrotal temperature that, again, might interfere with sperm production.
Sitting with the laptop on your lap, even if it is on the padded tray, can also significantly increase the temperature of your testicles. If possible, use the laptop on the table instead. The battery of laptops can produce quite a bit of heat. While not all the experts agree that laptops can cause male infertility, Dr. Himanshu Dhawan (BAMS) says – “if you are trying to conceive, you might have to keep the laptop on a table or desk instead of on your lap just to be safe.”

Be Careful! Tight Trousers Or Pants Can Damage Testicles

“I have seen numerous cases of men who have twisted their testicles due to wearing tight trousers or pants,” said Dr. Himanshu Dhawan (BAMS). When you wear tight pants, jeans, or briefs, you are putting your scrotum in cozy quarters, which can trap heat in the testicles, & this is particularly true during hot summer months when you might already be overheated. "Testicles hang in men’s scrotum need to keep cool – they need to be 2.2 degrees centigrade cooler than the core body temperature," says Dr. Himanshu Dhawan (BAMS), men's health expert at Dr. Health." If men wear tight pants or underwear or trousers, their testicles become too, due to which both testosterone & sperm production decrease – a common reason for male infertility. You can wear boxers or loose pants, which are made from natural fiber – cotton.

Yeah! 3 Pegs of Alcohol Can Turn You Infertile

It's not just the ladies who need to check their alcohol consumption if they are planning for a baby anytime soon. Even the males need to be careful about their booze doze. The fact is that alcohol causes infertility in males.
If you are an alcoholic person & you are consuming 60ml plus of any alcoholic drink in one day, there are fair chances that you can turn infertile. Drinking alcohol lowers testosterone levels, causes erectile dysfunction, & decreases sperm production. Moreover, liver diseases that are caused by excessive drinking also might lead to fertility problems in men

Smoking, A Hazard To Your Sperm Count

So, if you are too much into Smoking tobacco or Marijuana, it is directly going to affect your fertility. Smoking lowers the sperm count. Second-hand smoke might affect the fertility of males. Male smokers can suffer decreased sperm quality with lower mobility which boots the numbers of abnormally shaped sperm. Moreover, if you are a chain smoker, it might also decrease the sperm's ability to fertilize eggs.
High alcohol consumption and heavy smoking can cause lower testosterone levels & alter sexual function. Smoking can also adversely affect male fertility, as it might lower sperm count & make it challenging for the little fellows to make their way to a fallopian tube & fertilize an egg.

A Word From Dr. Health

It’s never too late to improve your sperm health. Thus, if you are trying to conceive, staying away from all such habits can make a significant difference. Good health comes from a strict fitness attitude. A fit attitude of males means a robust & well-maintained male reproductive system that avoids heat stress on their testicles. Many men who are diagnosed with male factor infertility face an emotionally complex journey. A fit body, a good lifestyle, and living with an Ayurvedic approach always yield fertility in men. A couple facing male infertility needs to communicate about what is happening to them.

If you want an expert consultation to see improvements in sperm quality, you can come down to our Male Infertility Treatment at Dr. Health to increase your chances of reproductive success.

Arthritis Awareness Month – Ways to Manage Arthritis 

The fifth month of every year is accepted as National Arthritis Awareness Month. Arthritis affects over 400 million people around the world, which is 7% of the total population. Arthritis is mainly a disease of the elderly, but it can also affect children. Arthritis commonly affects women compared to men. There are 100 types of Arthritis, among which the most common ones are osteoarthritis and rheumatoid Arthritis. 
 
 Dr. Health, an Ayurvedic clinic, has dedicated its services to conquer Arthritis and its effects through Ayurvedic medications, appropriate exercise, and diet.

What is Arthritis?

 Arthritis is a disease that induces pain and inflammation in the joints. The symptoms of Arthritis include joint pain, stiffness, redness, warmth, and swelling in the affected joints. When Arthritis develops, it causes a decrease in the individual's range of motion. There are many types of Arthritis, and the common ones are osteoarthritis and rheumatoid Arthritis. Osteoarthritis generally occurs as we age, and it affects the fingers, hips, and knees.

Few other types of Arthritis are Psoriatic Arthritis, Gout, Septic arthritis, and lupus arthritis. 
 

 What does Arthritis Awareness month want from people?

   First, not all joint pain is related to Arthritis which is why it is important to understand before trying to manage it, and to do that, the first thing is to go for a diagnosis. Going for diagnosis can be a task, but it is essential to determine what the symptoms are and how much it has worsened. Once the diagnosis is complete, the doctor would suggest you to go for treatments that include physical therapy, medications, surgeries, and adaptive aids. What they do not suggest is to go for natural treatment, which can be achieved by Ayurveda. As in Ayurveda, there are many ways to manage the condition and keep you disease-free. 
 
 In Ayurveda, "Amavat" is the term used for Arthritis, and it is stated that the main reason for Arthritis to occur is due to the deposition of toxins "Amas" in the joints of the body. The main reason for the development of toxins is said to be due to problems of indigestion or stomach-related issues. Therefore by removing the accumulated toxins in the body, one can begin a basic treatment and management for Arthritis

 What to Do In This Month of May?

As per Ayurveda, Arthritis management requires dedication and patience as it requires life-changing activities and strategies. The strategies and activities that should be followed are as follows:

 Lead an active Life

The best way to manage Arthritis is simple, and it is commonly done by most people to keep themselves healthy, that is, by being active physically. Physical activities are the best non-drug way to relieve arthritis pain. Indulging oneself in physical activity can reduce pain and improve functions, mood, and quality of life. It is recommended to all the adults to indulge themselves in 150 minutes of physical activity every week.

Keep a Healthy Weight 

Managing one's weight is important to keep one's overall Health up to date. When struggling with Arthritis, this simple management will help arthritis patients to feel livelier and stress-free. Whereas people who are overweight or obese have discomfort in their joints as our whole body's weight depends upon it.

Male Infertility in the 20s: पुरुषों में 20-30 साल के बीच बांझपन होने के मुख्य कारण और सुझाव

MALE INFERTILITY

डॉ. हेल्थ के आयुर्वेदिक विशेषज्ञ प्रमुख डॉ. हिमाँशु धवन (BAMS) बता रहे हैं आखिर क्यों बढ़ रहा है पुरुषों में बांझपन का खतरा और क्या हैं इसके लक्षण -
Male Infertility in the 20s: जैसे जैसे पुरुषों की उम्र बढ़ती जाती है, बाँझपन की संभावना अधिक होती जाती है। हालाँकि यह भी कहा जाता है की male इनफर्टिलिटी सबसे अधिक 35 साल के बाद देखने को मिलती है, लेकिन आजकल बहुत सारे युवा लोग भी इस समस्या का सामना कर रहे हैं। आजकल, 20s में भी कपल्स के लिए बांझपन इतना असामान्य नहीं है। और WHO की रिपोर्ट के अनुसार, सामान्य आबादी में बांझपन की मौजूदगी 15-20 प्रतिशत है, और पुरुष बांझपन इस दर में 20-40 प्रतिशत का योगदान देता है। रिपॉर्ट के अनुसार भारत में पुरुष बांझपन की वैल्यू लगभग 23% है। लब्बोलुआब यह है कि पिछले कुछ वर्षों में भारत में पुरुषों में बांझपन लगातार बढ़ रहा है।

पुरुषों में बांझपन के कारण क्या हैं? | What Are The Causes Of Infertility In Men?

CAUSES OF MALE INFERTILITY

शराब: शराब का सेवन अधिक करने से टेस्टोस्टेरोन का लेवल कम हो जाता है और साथ ही स्पर्म काउंट भी कम हो सकता है।
धूम्रपान: धूम्रपान न करने वाले अन्य लोगों की तुलना में धूम्रपान करने वाले लोगों में स्पर्म काउंट कम होता है।
तनाव: तनाव भी पुरुष बाँझपन का एक मुख्य कारण है। यदि तनाव लम्बे समय से है तो यह आपके sperm पैदा करने वाले होर्मोन को असंतुलित कर देता है।
मोटापा: शरीर का वजन अधिक होने के कारण हॉर्मोन में बदलाव देखे जाते हैं, और जिसके कारणवश पुरुषों में बाँझपन की समस्या पैदा हो सकती है।
वेरीकोसील: वेरीकोसील एक ऐसी स्थति है जिसमे टेस्टिकल्स की नसें सूज जाती हैं। वेरीकोसील स्पर्म उत्पादन में कमी या फिर स्पर्म की गुणवत्ता के सबसे सामान्य कारणों में से एक है।
लौ स्पर्म काउंट: पुरुषों में बांझपन की समस्या का एक मुख्य कारण स्पर्म की ख़राब गुणवत्ता यानि की लौ स्पर्म क्वालिटी और स्पर्म की संख्या कम होना भी है। जब वीर्य में स्पर्म काउंट कम होता है, तो इस कारणवश महिला को गर्भधारण करने में दिक्कत आ सकती है।

20 के दशक में पुरुष बांझपन से निपटना | Dealing with Male Infertility in Your 20s

यह माना गया है की प्रत्येक 8 में से 1 कपल को गर्भधारण करने में कठिनाई आती है। और इसका मुख्य कारण पुरुष बांझपन है। पुरुष बांझपन को प्रभावित करने वाले मुख्या कारकों में से एक है युवाओं का अनहैल्दी लाइफस्टाइल। डॉ. हिमांशु धवन कहते हैं, पुरुषों को अपने 20 के दशक से ही कुछ कारकों के बारे में सावधानी बरतनी चाहिए, इसमें शामिल हैं:

MALE INFERTILITY

हैल्दी BMI बनाये रखें: BMI चरम पर नहीं होना चाहिए। एक बेहतर रिप्रोडक्शन क्षमता के लिए आदर्श BMI की रेंज लगभग 20-30 होती है।
रोजाना व्यायाम करें: रोजाना लगभग 20-30 मिनट निश्चित रूप से व्यायाम करना पुरुषों में बाँझपन को कम करने में मदद करता है।
7-8 घंटे की नींद रोजाना है जरुरी: पुरुषों में बांझपन को दूर करने के लिए लगभग 7-8 घंटे की नींद लेना और सही समय पर लेना बहुत जरुरी है। जल्दी सोना और जल्दी उठना बहुत जरुरी है।
जीवनशैली में परिवर्तन: जीवनशैली में परिवर्तन करने से, जैसे की वजन कम करना या धूम्रपान और शराब पीना छोड़कर मेल इन्फर्टिलिटी को काफी हद तक काम किया जा सकता है। पुरुषों को अपने शरीर को स्वस्थ बनाये रखना चाहिए - अच्छी तरह खायें और विषाक्त पदार्थों खासकर की धूम्रपान से दूर रहें। और तभी एक नये मेहमान को घर में लाने की योजना बनायें।
तनाव और अवसाद की तरह ही हमारी आधुनिक जीवनशैली में प्रदूषण की बढ़ती समस्या भी इसमें प्रमुख भूमिका निभाती है। लंबे समय तक गाड़ी में बैठे रहने के कारण और गोद में लैपटॉप लेकर घंटों घर पर काम करने से भी वृषण का तापमान बढ़ता है जिससे स्पर्म की गुणवत्ता कम हो जाती है। हाल के वर्षों में एक और प्रवृत्ति देखी गई है कि कपल्स अपने करियर पर ध्यान केंद्रित करने के कारण गर्भावस्था में देरी करते हैं। और फिर बाद में बांझपन की समस्या बढ़ जाती है।

मेल इनफर्टिलिटी का आयुर्वेदिक उपचार - Ayurvedic Therapy For Male Infertility at Dr. Health

Male Infertility Ayurvedic Treatment

स्ट्रेसफुल लाइफस्टाइल और किसी लम्बी बीमारी भी लो-स्पर्म काउंट की समस्या का कारण बनते है। तो वहीं, कई पोषक तत्वों की कमी, फ्री-रैडिकल्स से नुकसान जैसे कारणों का भी असर फर्टिलिटी पर पड़ता है। लेकिन, समय पर डॉक्टर की मदद और सही लाइफस्टाइल से इस परेशानी से राहत भी पायी जा सकती है।
डॉक्‍टर हिमांशु धवन कहते हैं, "आयुर्वेद में पुरुष बांझपन का स्थाई उपचार उपलब्ध है। आयुर्वेद में कई ऐसी हर्बल दवाईयाँ हैं, जो पुरुष के वीर्य में सुधार करके उनकी प्रजनन क्षमता को बढ़ाती हैं। प्राकृतिक तरीके से पुरुष बाँझपन को दूर करने में किसी भी प्रकार का कोई दुष्प्रभाव नही होता है।' आयुर्वेद मुख्य रूप से दिनचर्या, योग, निद्रा, आहार, इत्यादि पर अधिक जोर देता है जिससे गंभीर से गंभीर बीमारी में बहुत ही जल्द सफलता प्राप्त हो जाती है।

Beat Premature Ejaculation with these Exercises

Premature ejaculation is a common male sexual disorder that affects approximately 4-39% of men of all age groups. The National Institute of health and care has found that premature ejaculation affects nearly 20-30% of men globally.
 
 Premature ejaculation, also called as early ejaculation, is a sexual disorder that occurs in men. Pre-Mature Ejaculation can be defined as an early discharge of semen when indulged in sexual activity caused by minimum penile stimulation, whereas typical men's ejaculatory latency is approximately 4-8 minutes.
 
 "It is said that men who struggle with this disorder have less control over their ejaculation, and many men have reported that they wished they lasted longer in bed." 
 
 Men struggling with premature ejaculation often report emotional and relationship distress, and some men feel embarrassed and do not indulge in a sexual relationship. Women consider premature ejaculation less of a problem, but studies have shown that the condition also causes stress to female partners. 

How to cure Early Ejaculation?  

 Men avoid talking about their sexual problems which then worsens in time and causes permanent ailments which is why men themselves attempt to treat premature ejaculation by various means such as by distracting themselves and trying to focus their attention away from sexual impulses, medications that help to slow down ejaculation, and by going for surgeries such as Selective Dorsal Neurectomy(SDN)and Glans penis augmentation.
 
 Some of the above treatments are effective, and some might even give bad side effects for the lifetime; that is why it is suggested to go for Ayurvedic treatment for Premature Ejaculation at Dr. Health that uses sexual therapies to correct the condition from its root and allow to have a stress free life.

Disclaimer:  Before performing these exercises, Kindly consult your doctor or an Ayurvedic physician. Never exert yourself while doing these exercises. If in case pain occurs while performing these exercises, kindly stop right there and make sure you are doing the exercise correctly, or consult a professional instead. This website is not responsible for anything wrong that happens to you while performing these exercises.

Ayurvedic Sexual Therapy 

Ayurvedic therapy concentrates on treating the root cause of the disease which uses natural ways, medicines that does not cause any side effects.

For premature ejaculation Ayurveda suggests going for right exercises for a quick recovery.
Recommended exercises to perform are Kegel Exercise, Cat and camel Exercise, and Butterfly exercise. 

These exercises help to strengthen the muscles in the pelvic region that is in charge of urinary control (starting and stopping the flow of urine) and also help to build control over pubococcygeus muscles that are responsible for triggering orgasm and ejaculation.

Kegel Exercise (Pelvic Floor Exercise)

To perform this exercise, start by lying on your back, bring up your keens, your hands on the sides of your hips, and keep your head down. Now push your stomach upwards; you will feel a stretch in your pelvic area; while doing so, inhale. Lastly, release yourself from this posture and bring back your belly to the normal position. While doing so, try to get the feel of contracting the pelvic floor muscles (Pretend as if you are trying to avoid passing gas). Once you have identified the right muscles, you can perform the exercise while sitting and standing.

Cat and Camel Exercise 

To perform this exercise, get down on your hands and your knees, keep your knees apart according to the space of your hips and your hands directly below your shoulders. Tighten your abdominal muscles and arch your spine upwards towards the ceiling. Hold the position for 10 seconds, then slowly relax your back. Next, allow the stomach to fall downwards to the floor and bring your hands together and stretch your back downwards in a swayback position. Hold the position for 10 seconds and repeat this sequence at least three times or more. 

Butterfly exercise (Bhadrasana)

To perform this exercise, sit straight with an erect spine and spread the legs straight out. Now flex both the knees and bring them near to the pelvic region; the soles of the feet should be touching each other. To obtain this posture, use your hands to pull the feet as close to your groin area. Next, take a deep breath and press the thighs and knees towards to floor. Keep gently pushing the knees downwards. After this posture is attained, start flapping the bended knees up and down like a butterfly's wings. You will sense a stretch in the inner thighs and the groin area. Take a deep breath and bring the torso up. As you exhale gently, release the posture, straighten the legs, and relax.

Causes of Acne: तनाव ही नहीं इन 5 कारणों से भी होते हैं मुहांसे, जानिये कैसे रखें अपनी स्किन को Acne Free

क्या आप नियमित रूप से मुहांसों से पीड़ित रहते हैं? अगर हाँ, तो आपने पहले से ही इस समस्या से राहत पाने के लिए अलग-अलग तरीकों से कोशिश की होगी। हालांकि, अगर आप वन-साइज फिट सोल्युशन ढूँढ रहे हैं तो ज्यादा सम्भावना है की यह काम नहीं करेगा। क्यों? ऐसा इसीलिए क्योंकि मुहांसे के कई कारण होते हैं और प्रत्येक कारण के लिए एक अलग समाधान जरुरी है। स्किन स्पेशलिस्ट डॉ. मेघा चतुर्वेदी ने इस आर्टिकल में इन अलग-अलग कारणों पर चर्चा की है। डॉ. मेघा चतुर्वेदी कहती हैं "मुहांसे त्वचा की सबसे आम बीमारी है। यह 85% किशोरों, 4% पुरुषों, और 51% महिलाओं को प्रभावित करती है।
मुहांसे शुरू में किसी छोटे दाने या उभार की तरह महसूस होते हैं। फिर धीरे-धीरे करीब 5-7 दिन में पकते हैं और पूरी तरह खत्म होने में करीब 10-15 दिन ले लेते हैं। इतने पर भी हमारे चेहरे या गर्दन पर निशान छोड़ जाते हैं, जो महीनों तक हमारी त्वचा पर बना रहता है। वाकई एक्ने ना केवल हमें शारीरिक दर्द देते हैं, बल्कि मानसिक दर्द भी देते हैं। ऐसे में इनसे बचने के तरीके जानना बेहद जरूरी हैं...
हमारे चेहरे पर पिम्पल्स उग आने की इकलौती वजह हमारा स्ट्रेस नहीं होता हैं। बल्कि हमारे पेट में जमा कब्ज, गड़बड़ाए हुए हॉर्मोन्स, और हमारे शरीर में मौजूद अन्य बीमारियां भी होती हैं। कई बार शरीर की अंदरूनी नहीं बल्कि स्किन प्रॉब्लमस के कारण भी हमें पिम्पल्स होते हैं।

मुहांसों की समस्याओं के पीछे के कारणों को जानने के लिए आगे पढ़ें -

1). सिर्फ स्ट्रेस नहीं है जिम्मेदार

स्ट्रेस भले ही मानसिक बीमारी है लेकिन पूरे शरीर और एनर्जी लेवल को प्रभावित करती है। इसीलिए यह कहा जाता है की स्ट्रेस से बचने के उपाये अपनाएं। स्ट्रेस के कारण हमारे शरीर से हैप्पी हॉर्मोन रिलीज़ होना कम हो जाता है। हमारे दिमाग को हैपी और रिलैक्स रखने में एंडोर्फिन और डोपामाइन नाम के हॉर्मोन्स मेन रोल प्ले करते हैं। लेकिन स्ट्रेस के कारण इन हॉर्मोन्स का बनना कम हो जाता है और हमारी बॉडी हॉर्मोनल डिस्बैलेंस का शिकार हो जाती है। और इसी के कारण हमारे चेहरे पर मुहांसे उग जाते हैं।

2). हार्मोनल बदलाव

आमतौर पर गर्भावस्था, माहवारी, स्तनपान, और बच्चे के जन्म के कुछ हफ़्तों बाद शरीर में हॉर्मोन तेजी से बदलते हैं। और यही कारण है की इस दौरान महिलाओं में मुहांसों की समस्या बढ़ जाती है। हार्मोनल बदलाव के कारण शरीर में पीएच का संतुलन बिगड़ जाता है और हमारी त्वचा में तेल का उत्पादन बढ़ जाता है, और फलस्वरूप मुहांसे निकलने शुरू हो जाते हैं। अगर पिम्पल्स निकलने का कारण हार्मोनल का असंतुलन है तो ऐसे में पिम्पल्स पर क्रीम या कोई घरेलू उपाए काम नहीं करेगा, ऐसे हालात में आप एक आयुर्वेदिक स्किन स्पेशलिस्ट से संपर्क कर सकते हैं।

3). पाचन सम्बन्धी समस्याएं

कई बार खान-पान ठीक न होने के कारण या पेट से सम्बंधित किसी दिक्कत के चलते हमें कब्ज की समस्या हो जाती है। और इसी कारण हमारे शरीर के विषाक्त तत्व बाहर नहीं निकल पाते। लेकिन, हमारी बॉडी किसी भी तरह का गार्बेज को अपने अंदर नहीं समेटती है और उसे बाहर निकालने का रास्ता खोज ही लेती है। कब्ज के कारण जो हार्मफुल एलिमेंट्स हमारी बॉडी के अंदर पनपते हैं, हमारा मेटाबोलिज्म उन्हें स्किन के रोम छिद्रों दवारा बाहर फेकने लगता है। इसी दौरान ये विषाक्त तत्व हमारी स्किन के पोर्स को बंद कर देते हैं और हमारी स्किन सांस नहीं ले पाती। कारणवश हमारी त्वचा में बैक्टीरिया पनपने लगते हैं, जो पिम्पल्स के रूप में हमे नज़र आते हैं।

4). स्किन बैक्टीरिया

कुछ लोगों की स्किन बहुत ज्यादा सेंसिटिव होती है। अधिक सेंसिटिव स्किन वाले लोगों को पिम्पल्स, ब्लैक हेड्स, और वाइट हेड्स जैसी समस्याएं अधिक सताती हैं। और जिन लोगों की स्किन बहुत ज्यादा ऑयली या ड्राई होती है, उनकी स्किन पर भी एक ख़ास तरह का बैक्टीरिया एक्टिव रहता है, जो की पिम्पल्स की वजह बनता है। यदि आपके चेहरे, पीठ, और कन्धों पर लगातार पिम्पल्स पनप रहे हैं तो इसका कारण स्किन बैक्टीरिया हो सकते हैं। ऐसे में बहुत जरुरी है कि आप डॉ. मेघा चतुर्वेदी जैसे आयुर्वेदिक स्किन स्पेशलिस्ट से ट्रीटमेंट लें।

5). किसी अज्ञात दवाई का रिएक्शन

बॉडी पर कहीं भी और खासतौर पर चचरे पर उगते हुए पिम्पल्स की एक खास वजह किसी अज्ञात दवाई का रिएक्शन भी हो सकता है। कई बार हम एक बीमारी को ठीक करने के लिए कई प्रकार की दवाईयां लेते हैं, जो की हमारी उस बीमारी को तो ठीक कर देती है लेकिन उन दवाईयों की गर्मी के कारण या उनके रिएक्शन के कारण हमारे चेहरे पर पिम्पल्स निकलने लगते हैं। इसकी एक ख़ास वजह उन दवाइयों के कारण डिस्टर्ब हुआ डायजेस्टिव सिस्टम भी हो सकता है। ऐसे में जरुरी है की डॉ. मेघा चतुर्वेदी जैसे आयुर्वेदिक स्किन स्पेशलिस्ट से जरूर संपर्क करें।

मुहांसों का परमानेंट आयुर्वेदिक इलाज - Dr. Health

ऐसे में इन परेशानियों से बचने के लिए हमें आयुर्वेदिक इलाज की ओर रुख लेना चाहिए। आयुर्वेद में मुहांसों की परेशानियों को दूर करने के कई बेहतरीन उपाए हैं, जिससे आपकी स्किन से न सिर्फ कील मुहांसे दूर होंगे बल्कि कई अन्य समस्याएं भी दूर होंगी। डॉ. मेघा चतुर्वेदी आर्य़ुवेद द्वारा सुझाए गए कुछ घेरलू उपाय और हर्बल दवाइयां लेने का सुझाव देती हैं, जिन्हें अपनाकर आप मुंहासों को बाय बाय कर सकते हैं।

Dandruff vs. Scalp Psoriasis

Are you confused about whether the struggle you are going through is from Dandruff or Scalp Psoriasis? What are the causes of Dandruff and Scalp Psoriasis? Is Dandruff a fungus? Is there any treatment option available for Dandruff and scalp psoriasis? These are some common doubts that everyone has in their mind. 

Scalp Psoriasis is generally caused due to faulty function of the immune system in which the skin cells are signalled to grow rapidly.

The cause of Dandruff (Seborrheic dermatitis) upon the Scalp is unclear. But it is believed Dandruff development can be triggered by genetic and environmental factors. 

Now let's Go in Depth and know How and what causes Scalp Psoriasis and Dandruff.

Psoriasis the Leading Cause:

To understand more about Scalp Psoriasis, we must know what Psoriasis is. Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune disease visible as raised red bumps on the skin that might cause itchiness, dryness, inflammation, and scaly skin. Psoriasis varies based on severity and the area affected by it.

There are various forms of Psoriasis, such as Plaque, Inverse, Pustular, Erythrodermic, and Guttate. Areas of the body such as forearms, shins, navel, and Scalp get affected when struggling from Psoriasis. 

The Red Scaly Patches of Scalp Psoriasis:

Scalp psoriasis is mainly caused to people who are already struggling with Psoriasis. Scalp Psoriasis is a common autoimmune skin condition that affects the surface of the Scalp. It occurs when your body's immune system mistakenly affects the skin cells of your Scalp, which causes them to grow rapidly. The rapid growth causes the accumulation of the skin cells on the surface of the Scalp, which causes:
  1) Red bumps on the skin with flakes and silvery scales.
 2) The red scaly patches may extend beyond the hairline and even affect the other body parts.
 3) The patches will cause soreness and itchiness.     

 

Dandruff the white flakes:

Dandruff is a skin disorder that primarily affects the Scalp. Dandruff development is generally caused due to genetic and environmental factors. The symptoms of Dandruff include flaking, mild itchiness on the skin, red and greasy patches on the skin, which cause a tingling sensation. 
Ideally, the skin cells take a month to mature and shed themselves, but when struggling with Dandruff, the skin cells mature within 2-7 days. As the skin cells grow rapidly, the shedding process results in the accumulation of dead skin, oily clumps, and white or greyish flakes on the Scalp. 

What's The Solution   

 For Dandruff and scalp Psoriasis Ayurveda has a proper treatment that cures the root cause of the disease with the help of herbal medications.
 
 To manage mild Dandruff, gentle shampoos can be used to remove the excessive oil and skin cell build-up, and if that does not work, switching to medicated shampoo might bring relief. Hair and Scalp products are available in the form of oil, gels, sprays, ointments, solutions, and foams.
 
  For Scalp Psoriasis, natural medicines are perfect as they help to ease symptoms. The remedies are safe and can be administered by oneself, but if this condition worsens, it is necessary to speak to a doctor and manage it. 

Here at Dr. Health, Ayurvedic remedies are adhered with the guidance of our expert Dermatologist Dr. Mega Chaturvedi who has expertise in treating skin-related disorders. With the help of her treatment, thousands are living a happy life. At our treatment centre, Dandruff and Scalp Psoriasis is treated with the help of medicines that contain natural skin healing properties that assist in treating scaly itchy patches, decrease pain, redness, inflammation, and flaking.

Male Fertility Is An Important Factor. Don’t Ignore It!

Generally, we think of infertility as being mostly or exclusively a female problem, but did you know that male and female infertility are equally prevalent? Now, it's time to talk about the men. We recount some surprising secrets about male fertility and male reproductive health.
Dad's health is just as important as mum's for healthy babies. Among couples struggling with infertility, complications specific to the man's health are the sole cause or the contributing cause about 40% of the time, says Dr. Himanshu Dhawan (BAMS). 
'The major issues we see in most of the men are related to their reduced sperm count, motility—the capacity for sperm to propel towards the egg – and reducing numbers of normally shaped sperm.'
Problems with sperms might also indicate underlying health concerns like high blood pressure, skin disorders, heart issues, vascular problems, & endocrine (gland) disorders.

Unknown Facts About Male Infertility You Must Know

There are 'n' numbers of problems that males are resilient to tell & show. Male infertility is one of the major issues which can dig deep into any man's confidence. But, the conditions can be improved & treated. People believe different things about male infertility, which has nothing to do with all such conditions. You might know about different myths, which revolve around male infertility problems, but in this article, we will explain some interesting facts that you might not be aware of till now. These facts have been verified by proficient Ayurvedic doctor Himanshu Dhawan (BAMS), who specializes in male fertility cases.

Did You Know???

  • Men are not Becoming Fathers, it's on the Rise.

There have been improved cases that show that men are unable to become fathers & this is becoming more common. There are around 7% of men in India face infertility issues & are not able to become fathers. It is a growing problem and mainly for those over the age of 35 years. The exact cause of it is not known, but their sperm rate decreases by almost 52%, which is a lot. It keeps on declining every year & hence it can cause numerous problems.

  • Men too have a Biological Clock (Effects of Aging).

It means just as women have a specific time in which the chances are high of becoming pregnant, the same is the case with men, too. The  rate for men decreases after the age of 40 years & then it becomes difficult for men to become fathers. Even if their partner becomes pregnant, the tendency of miscarriage rises. Thus, there is a particular time under which you should try for parenthood to prevent all such problems. 
Having a child after the age of 40 years or while having some kind of infertility issues can even impact your child & result in autism, schizophrenia, & cancer in childhood. Therefore, it is advised to consult your doctor & plan your pregnancy.

  • Food Choices are Linked to Sperm Count in Men.

The food choices you eat & the number of meals you take in a day also affect your chances of male infertility & sperm count. Individuals who consume processed meat practically every day have lower sperm counts than those who don't. Doctors also recommend avoiding excessive sugar, fats, red meat, & soya from your diet to enhance your sperm count & help in overall health. For reducing the chances of male infertility, you should eat more fruits rich in antioxidants. 

  • Smoking & Drinking can Lessen Fertility in Men – Skip your Happy Hours.

Not only do tobacco smokers incline to have lower sperm counts, but secondhand smokers also can experience the same problem. A report by World Health Organization shows, "if your partner is experiencing in vitro fertilization with your sperm, & you are a smoker, you face 44% reduction in your pregnancy rate." Excessive alcohol use, meanwhile, can lower the testosterone level, making it harder to get an erection, & is linked to liver diseases, also tied to fertility issues. Other substances which can impair male fertility include marijuana, cocaine, & heroin.

  • Duration of your Sleep can also Affect the Fertility Rate.

In several conditions, the rate of male fertility gets affected by the sleep duration a body gets. This is related to the amount of rest & volume of sperm produced. It is stated that those men who sleep for more than nine hours a day have more reduction in sperm count as compared to the men who sleep for seven hours a day. The ideal duration of sleep defined for young men is around 7 hours to 7.5 hours, which causes a minimal reduction in male sperm count. 

Words from Dr. Himanshu Dhawan

In couples trying to conceive, boosting male fertility is as equally important as optimizing female fertility. Even if they may not know it, men need fertility support too. At Dr. Health, we'd focus on the male side of the equation. Maybe you've been trying with your partner for some time, and you'd like to focus on improving your fertility.
And that's quite the good news – your decision to optimize your fertility is actually very helpful in increasing your chances of becoming a Dad. If you are seeking a good place to start, we will help you!

Ayurvedic Varicocele Treatment

Varicocele is like having vascular veins in scrotum or the testes. Vascular veins is a condition where the blood carrying tubes inside a particular body part swell up and stick tight to the inner skin. It is commonly seen in legs but similar condition can be observed in the scrotum (lies inside the testes). The scrotum is the shielding sac around your testes and is responsible for maintaining its shape. 

Having this condition in your scrotum may feel like a bag of worms as the size of your testes gets enlarged. This affects a type of vein termed as pampiniform plexus, which is situated in the spermatic cord. This chord holds vas deferens, the tube that carries sperm, and the testicular artery, which transports blood to the testicles. 

It is a common condition as approximately 15 – 20% of men experience this at least once in their lifetime. In most cases, varicocele is painless and might feel negligible to notice but can sometimes cause an aching sensation around your testes. For some severe cases, varicocele can cause fertility issues and might reduce sperm quality in the long run. Varicocele can happen at almost any age but is most common in teens for the hormonal imbalance in blood flow during puberty. Varicocele typically affects only one side of the testicles, and usually, it’s the left side.

Signs/ symptoms of having varicocele

If you have following signs of varicocele, you should be considering availing a medical consultancy or making the best use of ayurvedic and home remedies:  

  • Formation of lump inside the scrotum or the testicle
  • Swelling in testes
  • Enlargement of the veins of the scrotum
  • Testes size getting shrunk 
  • Discomfort in standing for long periods of time

 

Treating Varicocele by Ayurveda

While the surgical methods pose the possibility of some serious side effects inside the scrotal sac, Ayurveda on the other hand provides similar properties of treatment with no side-effects at all. 

Following are some possible side effects of having surgery to treat varicocele: 

    • Hydrocele – It refers to the condition wherein the accumulation of fluid around the scrotal sac can be observed. It can double up the tissue inflammation.
    • Abnormal body vitals – Abnormal health disorders like feeling nausea, high fever, and aching pain in abdominal/ pelvic region. 
    • Urinals complications – Difficulty in urinating and inability to empty the bladder in one go are common problems post-surgery. 
  • Scrotal swelling and infections – Prolonged infections inside the scrotal sac can be observed if there are some errors in surgical methods opted 

Having understood with the life-threatening side-effects of surgical methods opted to treat varicocele; it becomes quite evident to utilize the Ayurveda-backed treatments. Ayurveda promotes naturally driven medications and helps in providing immediate relief from the aching pain in scrotum. The medicated oils and other forms of medications used work with the Vayu Dosh (surrounding elements) in your body. This helps in reducing the symptoms and stopping the varicocele from getting bigger. 

Dietary Recommendations

Since the intake of herbal medications plays a major role in treating varicocele; it becomes equally important to have a balanced digestive system. To incorporate the same, the inclusion of easily digestible and nutritious foods is necessary. Whole-grain foods, fish oil, olive oil, fresh fruits, and vegetables are recommended additions. The dietary schedule or the time between the meals should be equal and fixed on a daily basis. This will improve the digestive system and make it easier for herbal medications to reach all fundamental body parts. Lubricants like fast food and excess alcohol should be avoided. Also, excess salty and sourness in foods should be avoided too.

Following can be key takeaways for dietary recommendations: 

    • Whole grains – The consumption of whole grain foods will lighten the abdomen muscles and prevent constipation.
    • Leafy Greens – These are rich source of rare minerals, iron and potassium that will help to enhance muscle strength and overall stamina
    • Dairy Products – To ensure increased bone and muscle strength, the consumption of dairy products is immensely important. 
  • Animal proteins – These are quickest source of protein and provide high quality amino acids in least possible calories. 
  • Fresh fruits – Vitamin rich fruits, especially oranges are especially recommended. They promote tissue regeneration. 

 

Conclusion

Varicocele is a common condition that can affect men of different ages and stages in lifestyle. As per several studies conducted, it is reported that approximately 1 out of every 5 men suffer from varicocele at least once in their lifetime. It is caused due to the accumulation of excess blood in veins inside the scrotum. Such a condition is most commonly seen in teenage due to the hormonal imbalance in the puberty phase. Having enlarged testes, irregular scrotum shape, and lower counts of sperm production are some common signs observed in case of varicocele. Ayurveda offers life saving techniques which have zero side effects, unlike the complexities involved in surgeries. The inclusion of purification techniques like Raktamkokshana (bloodletting) and Virechana (Purgation) are a great means of treating varicocele. These techniques help in removing all unnecessary toxins and reduce the symptoms of varicocele. Having balanced and equally timed daily meals will help in forming an active base for digesting herbal medications. Whole grain foods, dairy products, animal protein, leafy greens, and fresh fruits are some recommended add-ons in daily diet.
