When it comes to womens reproductive health, there are a lot of questions that can be asked. If you have a question it's always best to see a doctor and ask him or her in person. After all, they went to school for years to specialize in the subject, it'd be a shame if they never got to utilize their skills. Besides going to a womens health specialist, your best bet is to get online, head to a library or even ask your friends. Usually, a poll of ten or so female friends can tell you if something is normal or an issue you should be concerned about.
If you get online, you can go to different web doctor sites that can give you lists of symptoms and pair you up with the health issue that is most likely what you're currently dealing with. If there's no specific problem that you're worried about, and you just want to know more about womens reproductive health, you can try using a forum. Forums are great because they are completely anonymous. You can post whatever you'd like or just sit and read what everyone else has written without having to wonder whether somebody you're talking to knows you. On the other hand, since you don't know who is posting, you can never be sure if you're really getting a doctor's advice or just the ramblings of an unemployed loser.
There are a lot of fantastic books pertaining to womens reproductive health that you can use as resources. All you need to do is go to the library or book store and you'll find hundreds of books by about as many authors on the subject matter. They can walk you through everything you need to know about womens reproductive health, and can serve as excellent guides.

As adolescents, boys get their information about sexuality and men's sexual health from their peers. As teens, locker room talk may titillate, but it provides little in the way of accurate information about men's health issues. Unfortunately, while adult women are likely to seek out information from professionals, men are more reticent to discuss questions about men's sexual health and men's health news in general with their doctors or other professionals. When compared to women, they're also less likely to discuss their concerns with other men. As a result, men are often left to wonder about issues that are common to many men, particularly questions about men's sexual health.
Luckily, with the explosion of the Internet, a wealth of information has become available that answers men's questions - anonymously. While there are certainly many bogus sites with misinformation, discerning men are able to find reputable websites that discuss men's issues or that include a men's health forum.
Men's sexual health questions cover a wide range of topics. For example, condoms are widely (and correctly) seen as both a contraceptive and a way of protecting against sexually transmitted diseases. Nonetheless, many men opt not to use condoms. In a men's health forum, men can get the facts and news about condoms, while also discussing risks, tips, and personal experiences.
Another men's sexual health topic often covered by a men's health forum is erectile dysfunction. Despite pharmaceutical advances over the past decade, many men find it embarrassing to discuss this topic with friends or even their physicians. By visiting a reputable online information source, men can find answers to the questions and alleviate their concerns, as well as discovering options for correcting the problem.
Other men's questions revolve around more general issues, such as how to improve the libido. A forum can address both underlying medical causes, as well as identify lifestyle issues that could impact desire, such as fitness, dieting, and weight management.
Some men's sexual health questions are very specific. For example, men's health issues might include abnormal urethra development, the inability to retract the foreskin, Peyronie's disease, venous leakage, and so forth. Obtaining reliable information online will often encourage men to take the next step and seek care from their medical professionals. Being able to identify and intelligently discuss a problem increases men's comfort levels in discussing men's health issues with doctors.
Needless to say, sexually transmitted diseases should be a centerpiece of all discussions about men's sexual health. There is so much misinformation and sheer ignorance about STDs that men must be able to anonymously access accurate information about HIV/AIDS, gonorrhea, herpes, and syphilis.
A cornerstone of men's sexual health - and the ability to fully enjoy a sexual relationship - is accurate information. An online men's health forum is an excellent way to answer men's questions and concerns, and when necessary, urge them to seek medical attention.
I was asked by the transition team of the Obama administration to conduct a public health forum. Ten people came to the meeting and were all from the holistic community, self employed or retired. The questions and answers were as follows:
What does the group perceive as the main issues in the Health System?
Medical Doctors, Drug Medicine, and Government intervention
No one could pay high cost without insurance or government
Medical system rewards sickness instead of wellness
Forcing healthy people and business to pay
How do you choose a doctor or hospital?
Friend or relative recommendation
How should public policy promote quality health care providers?
Should not help since they do not know
Have attendees or their family members experienced difficulty paying medical bills?
None in this group could afford a medical crisis that included doctors, hospitals and drug medicine
Their choices had to be outside the modern medical paradigm
In addition to employer-based coverage, would the group like the option to purchase a private plan through an insurance-exchange or a public plan like Medicare?
They asked why employers are obligated to pay for the sick
Would prefer to self insure outside the system
They asked why fellow taxpayers should pay for sickness
Felt Medicare is a trap that leads to dependence on drugs and interventions
Saving or taking life is natures business
Did attendees know how much they or their employer pays for health insurance?
No, all were self employed or retired.
What should an employer's role be in a reformed health care system?
Why should an employer be involved in health care?
Exception where employers involve health hazards
Promote wellness to employees
Initiate wellness as a way of life
Were attendees familiar with the types of preventive services American's should receive?
They did not feel the types of prevention offered by medical doctors is valid as: (vaccination etc)
Had attendees gotten the recommended prevention?
No, none trusted modern chemical medicine Used alternative prevention
This particular group did not conform to the conservative viewpoint of health care. They felt the role of government was the right to live life with the direction of their heart rather than the directions of government.
Each had been involved in a situation where intervention by medical doctors or government had caused more harm than good. I sent this information to the transition team who I believe promptly discarded it. I hesitated to make this information an ezine article because of the inflammatory nature of the discussion. After watching the current fiasco about health care direction I was further convinced that neither government or modern medicine approach will make us healthy. The only answers come from grass roots reform that teaches personal responsibility for health.
