Pelvic Inflammation Disease (PID) is defined as condition caused by inflammation or infection of the female uterus, fallopian tubes, and/or ovaries as a result of scars and adhesion in the pelvic which in turn may prevent the implantation of egg during natural pregnancy process. It affects over 1 million women in U.S. every month and most of them are in their teen and twenties and over 100,000 women become infertile in the US alone each year.

In women, it may damage the Fallopian tube leading to infertility. Sexual transmitted disease happens most often to sexual active women with several partners and without understanding much of the partner’s health and condition. The diseases can also transmit through sexual intercourse without the use of a barrier device such as condom. Chlamydia can live in the body for months and years without causing any symptoms, but when it strikes the symptoms include: a) Pain or burning when urinating b) Abnormal vaginal discharge c) Bleeding between periods d) Pain during sexual intercourse as we mentioned above.
2. Virus – It may be caused by human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)

In case of frequent vaginitis, it is caused by women who are taking birth control pills, or taking antibiotics, as antibiotics kill bacteria, it causes uncontrolled yeast growth). Fungi can also be contracted through sexual intercourse.
4. Parasitic – PID is caused by a tiny parasite, known as trichomonas vaginalis.
5. Bacterial infections – Bacteria (germs) get into a woman’s internal reproductive organs such as douching or when the cervix is opened due to menstruation or ovulation for sperm invasion.
6. Surgery – Surgeries such as C section, abortion, childbirth or insertion of an IUD may cause bacteria getting into the pelvic region, leading to infection resulting in scars in the region.
7. Cervicitis – Cervicitis is defined as a medical condition caused by inflammation or infection to the cervix, leading to abnormal production of cervical mucus and increasing the risk of infertility
III. Affects of PID
1. Chronic pelvic pain – Pelvic inflammatory disease often causes pelvic pain, it can lead to chronic pelvic pain if left untreated for too long as a result of scars building up in the pelvic region.
2. Infertility – If the scar covers a large portion of the uterus that disrupts the chance of egg to implant in the uterus or blocks the Fallopian tube, causing fertilization egg unable to travel down to the uterus for implantation.
3. Ectopic pregnancy – As a result of the end of Follopian tube that connects to the ovaries becoming partially or completely blocked due to forming of scars after infection.
IV. Treatment of PID in conventional medicine perspective
PID have to be cured early by antibiotics, otherwise it may cause forming of large scars in the pelvic region, leading to blockage at the end of Fallopian tube that affects the uterus in egg implantation.
V. Summary
1. PID can be prevented if a woman a) Uses a condom b) Abstains from sexual intercourse c) Avoids douching 2. Early treatment
Sexually active women must check with her doctor, if some of above symptoms are found.

It is caused by either the accelerated loss of eggs or follicles are become less responsive to hormone stimulation from the pituitary gland. It has been estimated that POF affects 1% of the population. While conventional medicine uses synthesis medication to stimulate the ovarian response and artificial insemination with only 5% success rate accompanying with a high medical cost, it drives many women to seek help from traditional medicine, including the traditional Chinese medicine.
Traditional Chinese medicine views POF as an excess and deficiency pattern caused by emptiness of the penetrating and conception meridians and treatments are totally depended to her unique diagnosis, there is no one treatment for all.
I. Diagnosis Most women with POF have some of following symptoms 1. irritability, a rapid pulse and a red tongue 2. Pale or normal tongue 3. Weak pulse 4. Weakness 5. Lethargy Pale, 6. Shallow breathing , soft voice Little desire to speak 7. Poor appetite 8. Fatigue 9. Loose stools 10. Indigestion 11. Bloating and gas 12. Reddish tongue with little or no coating 13.

I. Causes of POF in TCM perspective A. Excessive yang Caused by an excessive loss of vital essence and nutrient fluid, leading to dryness of skin, chapped lips, nose bleed, mouth sore, urinary burning, etc. and interfering with the kidney function in hormonal regulation, resulting in ovarian abnormal function in responding to the hormone secretion from pituitary gland.
B. Spleen qi deficiency 1. Liver Liver has directed influentially in spleen function, without strong liver there is no treatment for spleen blockade and deficiency.
2. Diet and occupation Since spleen prefer warm and hot foods, prolong period working in col environment and eating cold foods will effect the spleen function in synthesizing carbohydrate synthesizing, disrupting the processes in nutrients absorption, obstructing the blood flow to the abdominal region and effecting the luteal phrase, resulting in infertility 3. Life style and weakened liver Spleen is view as the organ of digestion ( nutrients distribution ) and elimination ( eliminating the body waste ). Spleen qi deficiency is normal caused by irregular dietary habits and excessive use of mind in studying and working. Weakened liver may also increases the risk of toxins accumulation and liver qi stagnation in the body, effecting the spleen function and obstructing implantation of egg in the uterine lining. C. Kidney yin deficiency a) Unhealthy diet As oppose to yang deficiency, It is caused by men who love to hot and spicy food leading to heat accumulation in the body causing yin deficiency.

D. Blood deficiency Tradition Chinese medicine view blood deficiency is caused by weakened spleen organ, thereby, reducing the spleen function in blood formation, leading to causes not enough blood to distribute to the body such as absence of (no blood for) menstruation. Blood deficiency leads to abnormal function of reproductive system in regulating menstrual cycle, disrupting the production of egg or produces poor quality egg and makes uterine mucus hostile to sperm.
F. Kidney yang deficiency 1 Unhealthy diet As we known, we live in the society, where everything we drink are mostly cold including milk. It has a danger effect in both female and male body as it depletes of the yang qi which is needed to counter the the cold effects of abundant yin, leading to kidney yang deficiency. If one day, our yang qi production from the kidney jing is no longer working well, it will cause symptoms of infertility
2. External factors a) Working in the cold environment such as fish, poultry and meat processing plants may deplete the kidney yang as our body require to produce yang qi constantly to counter the external cold. b) People stay in the cold place for prolong period of time may also have the same effect as people working in cold environment.
b) Frequent sexual activity According to traditional medical medicine, sexual intercourse helps to improve blood circulation and production of certain hormones which are necessary for our health. It also helps to balance the kidney yin qi but frequent sexual activity depletes the kidney jing which is vital for hormone and sperm production, leading to low sperm count or semen with no sperm as well as kidney diseases.
II. Treatments 1. Diet modification a). Since most women with POF are diagnosed with excessive yang in the west caused by the typical American diet as resulting of the body evokes the response from the ovaries, it is advised that spicy and hot foods are eliminated from the diet until excessive yang can be neutralized. b) What to avoid i) Simple sugar and refine starches Simple sugar and refine starches have a very high reading in the GI index list as they cause sharp rise and drop of blood sugar in the bloodstream. ii) Hormone imbalance As the levels of insulin produced by the pancreas have to increase traumatically when the blood sugar levels rise and stop when the blood sugar drop. The imbalance of levels of sugar also cause the over production of cortisol hormone by the adrenal gland that interferes with production of sex hormone, causing infertility. iii) Vitamins Over production of cortisol caused by intake of sugar and refine starches also increases the risk of nutrients deficiency as resulting of vitamins and minerals depletion including B vitamin and magnesium. iv) Weakened immune system Study show that intake a teaspoon of simple sugar can weaken the immune system up to 4 hours as resulting of weakening protein functions in body defence.
v) Saturated fat and trans fat Saturated fat and trans fat interferes the liver function in essential fatty acid metabolism, leading to over production of certain hormones in the prostaglandins family, causing menstrual camps and pain, nervous tensions as well as irregular menstrual cycle, thereby increasing the risk of infertility.
vi) Coffee Intake of large amount of coffee daily to fight off stress may have a negative effect in the reproductive system. As study show that women who consume 300 mg or more of caffeine take longer to conceive than women who do not or take less.
vii) Drug and alcohol Drugs and alcohol can influence an imbalance of reproductive hormones. As drug increases the tension of the nervous system leading to hormone imbalance, excessive alcohol drinking can cause liver damage, which abnormal function of liver in all kinds of metabolism, causing blood and qi stagnation in the liver and effecting a couple’s reproductive abilities. Alcohol also causes nervous tension, leading to over production of certain hormones, thereby, increasing the risk of infertility.
viii) Carbonate Soda Carbonate soda contains high amount of sweetener, caffeine and phosphate which can interfere with calcium absorption as well as stimulating the over production of certain hormone including cortisol, leading to fatigue, stress and anxiety.
ix) Most animal and dairy products Because most animal and diary products are considered acidic which can distort the balance of pH levels in the body, making cervical mucus hostile to sperm invasion as well as preventing the implantation of egg.

Though most of sexual enhancement products have been devised for men, women seem to be getting their due now with the advent of natural sex pills specially formulated for women which can help them enjoy more fulfilling and satisfying sex.
Natural sex pills for women are basically herbal supplements that combine age proven herbs, vitamins and other nutrients in a potent and right mix to help them overcome various sexual disorders.
Here is a little more on how natural sex pills for women work:
Increase Blood Circulation and Reduce Stress
One of the prime reasons behind sexual problems and low libido in both men and women is decreased blood flow to the genitals. Good blood circulation is highly important for proper sexual function.
Certain herbs like ginseng and ginkgo biloba not only increase blood flow but also help reduce stress. Here it is important to note that as far as women are concerned, the state of their mental or emotional well being plays a very crucial role in arousal and sexual function. Stress and depression are some of the major causes of female sexual arousal dysfunction and herbs like ginseng and ginkgo can help relieve stress and provide a major boost to libido.
Increase Estrogen Levels
Decreased estrogen levels not only leads to low libido in women but is also a major causes of vaginal dryness in menopausal women. Reduced estrogen levels results in the thinning of the vaginal walls, making it dry. It makes intercourse painful and is marked with a burning sensation in the vagina.
Herbs like Ding Quai can help increase the level of estrogen without the side effects of hormone replacement therapy.
Increase Testosterone Levels
It is not just men who produce testosterone. Women also produce this hormone but in smaller quantities. Low levels of testosterone can lead to decreased sex drive or libido in women.
Herbs like Tribulus Terrestris can help increase testosterone levels and enhance female libido.
Natural Sex Pills for women combine herbs like ginkgo, tribulus terrestris, epimedium sagittatum with other natural ingredients like niacin, melatonin etc., to enhance female sex drive and overcome problems like vaginal dryness without any side effects.
High quality supplements are clinically approved and recommended by doctors.

If you’re a woman, you’ve probably noticed that it’s harder for you lose fat and keep it off than the men in your life. While it’s true that women have genetically higher fat ratios as due to their natural role as child bearers, part of the problem also results from the baseless fears many women have about how will affect their bodies.Your weight reflects your total calorie consumption, how much you exercise, and your metabolic rate, but the composition of the food you eat is also important. Don’t be afraid, to try something new to shape up your body and have that self confident in you.
A lean, shapely physique and an ability to lose the fat fast cannot be achieved by women who don’t add intense weight training to their workout routine. Yes, this can be true .
Studies have shown that regular exercise significantly increases life expectancy and improves overall health. Regular physical activity reduces the risk of cancer, heart disease, and osteoporosis. It can reduce or improve symptoms of menopause, PMS, diabetes, as well as numerous other conditions.
As a metabolically active tissue, muscle burns fat. Having more muscle on your body raises your resting metabolic rate, ensuring that you will be burning more calories even when you aren’t working out. If you want to lose the fat fast, building and maintaining healthy muscle tissue should be a top priority.
An improved self-image and increased energy level are frequent added benefits of exercise.
The inclusion of intense weight lifting and resistance training into your workout routine increases the mitochondria in your muscle fibers. Converting nutrients into energy, mitochondria are the “powerhouses” of the muscle cells (because they are the site where sugar is broken down to release the energy required for cellular functions). With more mitochondria, it will be easier to lose the fat fast.
Many women feel that weight training is not an option because they fear adding extra bulk or looking masculine. Once you know the facts, you’ll see that this fear is completely irrational. Thanks to hormones, women build muscle tissue even more slowly and gradually than men. Now you know the answer!
If you notice an unpleasant and excessive response to weight training, you’ll still have plenty of time to modify your routine and prevent further muscle gain. Your best choice to lose the fat fast and obtain the most desirable female form is weight training. By focusing on weight and resistance training, you’ll be able to overcome your fear of bulking up and lose the fat fast. Weight training burns fat and helps you build and maintain lean muscle mass.
It’s interesting to note that while the main source of fuel that the body burns during weightlifting are carbohydrates, the intense nature of the workout actually boosts your metabolism. For up to 24 hours after leaving the gym, your body will burn more calories in its attempt to recover from your weight training workout. Another good example of how weight training helps you to lose the fat fast.
Worries about athletic agility, speed, and flexibility sometimes keep both men and women from engaging in weight training. This is just not true. Weight training actually works to improve speed, agility, and flexibility, all the while improving your athletic ability, protecting your body from injury, and making it possible to lose the fat fast. The lean and muscular physiques of sprinters and football running backs are proof of this rule.I have come across so many men and ladies who’s afraid to do weight training, can you believe this!!
All women should consider weight training for its benefits in the prevention of osteoporosis, a painful condition that will affect most women as they age. Do it now before it’s too late. Love your body and love yourself.

Over a long period of times, if diet can not support the lost of energy and flow in the body, it causes either yang or yin deficiency that distort the normal menstrual cycle, leading to irregular period. In some severe cases, it causes infertility.

How a woman does know she entered menopause? Menopause is a natural biological process, defined as the last menstrual period of women. This step, in which ovarian function ceases to exist to establish a new hormonal balance, usually occurs between 45 and 55 years but could, due to lifestyle such as smoking, occur earlier.
Moreover, it is during the time preceding menopause – pre-menopause – the woman can begin to experience unpleasant menopausal symptoms and acquaintances.
The first effects of the woman concerned are hot flashes and night sweats.” However, usually also be present “as insomnia, headache, palpitations, depressive mood, anxiety and fatigue.”
It is necessary to clarify that, in many women; these symptoms become less marked over time, other, no great inconvenience. The intensity depends on the biology of each woman and the physical and mental state that comes to this step.
Symptoms may arise:
Like vaginal dryness, pain during sexual intercourse, decreased libido, more frequent urination and sometimes incontinence.
For most women, weight gains with alteration in body image are of great concern, in addition to changes in the skin and coat.
All of these symptoms, if present, could “severely diminish the quality of life of women”.
The Hormones Problem: All these effects that can plague menopausal women due to fact the female body gradually stop producing hormones, including progesterone and estrogen testosterone.
Risk due to menopause changes: Because of the new stage hormone, coupled with the aging process itself, the menopausal woman is more likely to develop ‘urogenital atrophy, osteoporosis and cardiovascular disease. If, before menopause, the hormones ‘protect’ the women of these risks, the decrease of hormonal own new step determines the end of this ‘protection’. Cholesterol levels may increase, and blood pressure – two factors that affect cardiovascular health.
Furthermore, menopause is closely linked to osteoporosis, because the decrease in estrogen leads to a decrease in the fixation of calcium from the bones, making them weaker. The figures show that during the first five years after menopause, are lost between three and five percent of bone mass per year, and then between one and two percent annually.
How to overcome the menopause?
Lifestyle- Whether to minimize the risks of menopause, whether to mitigate its unpleasant effects, the woman can and should be in the lifestyle some valuable aid.
In relation to food, intake of calcium through dairy products should be enhanced to strengthen bones and reduce the risk of osteoporosis, should be preferred lean foods, not only to help keep cholesterol at adequate levels, but also to control the excess weight and cardiovascular risk.
Thus, saturated fats such as fat cheeses, margarine or animal should be avoided, while the consumption of fruits and vegetables is advised. Another aspect that should be noted is that, to control the risk of hypertension, you should reduce the daily intake of salt.
Also physical activity can help overcome and the menopause. Exercise, in addition to being beneficial for the heart, leads to higher energy consumption, thereby preventing weight gain, so common at this stage of life, due to the slowing of metabolism. It is also a good way to maintain bone mass.
Daily walks of at least half time are a good option. If possible, join the yoga; it helps balance the nervous system through breathing exercises and relaxation techniques.
