What Women Need to Know About Anal Sex

What Women Need to Know About Anal Sex

Main
While sometimes taboo, anal sex is a form of intimacy that can be enjoyed by people of all genders and sexual orientations. Now, the act seems to be on the rise among heterosexual women in particular.A British study, published on August 11, 2022, in BMJ, pooled data from the National Survey of Sexual Attitudes and Lifestyle. The researchers found that anal sex among heterosexual people ages 16 to 24 has more than doubled in recent decades, going from about 13 percent to nearly 30 percent. In the United States, rates are even higher: About 36 percent of women and 42 percent of men ages 18 to 44 reported having anal sex at least once, per the CDC (PDF).That’s not surprising, according to experts. “Any place on the body where there…

Stopping Menstrual Periods Is Safe, Experts Say

Stopping Menstrual Periods Is Safe, Experts Say

Main
Hormonal medications are mostly used for birth control, but doctors shouldn’t forget another important use, suppressing menstruation, according to a new report from the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG).The guidance, General Approaches to Medical Management of Menstrual Suppression, is especially timely given the growing concerns about future access to reproductive medical care, ACOG said in a statement. That’s partly why the organization wants to emphasize the role hormonal medications play beyond preventing pregnancy.Requests for Menstruation Suppression, or Stopping Monthly Bleeding, Are CommonThe desire to stop periods, whether briefly or for a long time, is fairly widespread, says a coauthor of the report, Kathryn Stambough, MD, an adolescent gynecologist and an assistant professor of obstetrics and gynecology at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences. “Suppression of menstrual cycles is an area…

Even Light Exercise Can Help Preserve Memory in People With Mild Cognitive Impairment

Main
Regular exercise of any intensity — even simple stretching and balance moves — can protect the brain health of older adults with mild cognitive impairment, according to research presented at the 2022 Alzheimer’s Association International Conference (AAIC) in San Diego.Researchers found that older adults who engaged in either moderate/high-intensity aerobic training or low-intensity stretching, balance, and range-of-motion exercises for 12 months showed no decline from their baseline in terms of cognitive function. That’s according to lead study author Laura Baker, PhD, professor of gerontology and geriatric medicine at Wake Forest University School of Medicine in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, who spoke at the AAIC conference.“There is increasing evidence that our health overall greatly impacts our brain,” said Maria Carrillo, PhD, chief scientific officer of the Alzheimer’s Association, who was not involved in…

Social Isolation, Loneliness Increase Risk of Fatal Heart Attacks and Strokes

Main
People who are socially isolated or feel lonely are about 30 percent more likely to experience or die from heart attacks and strokes, according to a new scientific statement from the American Heart Association.“Over four decades of research has clearly demonstrated that social isolation and loneliness are both associated with adverse health outcomes,” Crystal Wiley Cené, MD, MPH, lead author of the scientific statement, said in a statement.“Given the prevalence of social disconnectedness across the U.S., the public health impact is quite significant,” Dr. Cené said.The very young and very old may be particularly vulnerable, the AHA notes in its scientific statement.Almost one-quarter of adults 65 and older are socially isolated and up to about half of them are lonely. Persistent loneliness may be even more common for Generation Z,…

Main
President Joe Biden is expected to sign into law legislation that aims to lower drug prices and extend health insurance subsidies for many Americans.The legislation, dubbed the Inflation Reduction Act, was approved by the U.S. Senate and the House of Representatives. Biden praised the bill as a win for working families, and he said that there would be a celebration at the White House on September 6 in honor of the legislation.“This bill caps seniors’ out-of-pocket spending for prescription drugs at $2,000 per year — no matter what their drug bills would otherwise be, seniors will not have to spend more than $2,000,” Biden said in an August 7 statement after the legislation passed the Senate.“In addition, 13 million Americans, covered under the Affordable Care Act, will see their health…
