The telemedicine industry has seen significant growth over the last several years, perhaps in part due to the social distancing measures implemented during the COVID-19 pandemic. Nonetheless, the trend toward virtual health care visits and having medications and supplies shipped directly to the patient’s home has been evident since even before the pandemic.

Endometriosis is a chronic condition that can cause pelvic pain, heavy menstrual periods, painful sex, and sometimes infertility in women. It occurs when tissues that behave like the tissues that line the uterus begin to grow outside of the uterus. When this tissue thickens and breaks down throughout the course of a woman’s menstrual cycle, it is unable to exit the body, so it remains trapped inside, resulting in the symptoms mentioned above.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), a person’s sexual health is not just about the absence of disease or sexual dysfunction. It is also about their physical, emotional, mental, and social wellbeing in relation to sexuality.

Spina bifida is a birth defect that affects the spine and spinal cord. It occurs when the neural tube, or the part of the embryo that will eventually become the baby’s brain, spinal cord, and the protective tissues around them, does not develop correctly. Instead of forming and closing early in the pregnancy, a portion of the neural tube in babies with spina bifida does not close or develop completely, resulting in issues with the spinal cord and spine.

Researchers frequently use Patient Reported Outcomes Measures (PROMs) to assess patients’ symptoms, functioning, and quality of life after they overcome a disease and/or receive medical treatment. PROMs are important because they allow patients to relay their own feelings and experiences regarding a disease or treatment, and they are not based solely on a provider’s examination.

Overactive bladder (OAB) is characterized by frequent, urgent urination, often including nocturia (frequent nighttime urination), that occurs in the absence of a urinary tract infection or other obvious reason. Some people with OAB may experience urinary incontinence (leaking urine), but not all do. OAB is a condition that becomes more common with age, and its estimated prevalence is 20.8% (22.1% for women and 19.5% for men).

A sense of vaginal looseness and/or reduced sensation during intercourse is a common sexual complaint among premenopausal women. For some women, this may feel like a decrease in friction during vaginal sex, either during thrusting or initial penetration.

Different people are prone to different personality traits due to heredity and environmental factors. Psychologists and social scientists have grouped some of these features into distinct personality types so as to gain a better understanding of the diverse preferences, motivations, and behaviors of a group of people.

Previous research indicates that most people are satisfied with or at least feel neutral about their genitalia. Nevertheless, some individuals are not satisfied with their genitalia, and this situation can have negative consequences on their mental and sexual health.

Having sexual intercourse for the first time at a younger age has been shown to be associated with adverse sexual health outcomes. However, the authors of a recent study contend that defining a person’s sexual debut as the first time they have intercourse offers a narrow view of their sexual development and experiences. Therefore, they decided to reexamine the sexual health outcomes of a younger sexual debut using broader definitions of each variable.

Social networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram are increasingly popular vehicles of communication. Given their widespread use and influence on individuals and society, it is no wonder that these sites have an impact on various aspects of our lives. According to a recent study, social media may even have an effect on our sex lives.

Explicit motor imagery (EMI) is the technique of thinking about moving without actually moving. It is a method that is sometimes used for chronic pain management to help individuals gradually alter their brain’s response to pain.
