As quoted from page Times of India, the study shows, women who discuss sexual issues with their physicians have greater satisfaction with their sex lives than those who rely on drugs 'strong'.
The study involved 200 women aged 35-55 years in the United States who experience sexual dysfunction. They were asked to perform sexual intercourse with each partner for 12 weeks and wrote down his experiences based on the level of satisfaction in daily journals.
But, they were divided into three groups with different treatment. The first group was asked to consult with experts in the field, the second group given the drug 'strong', whereas the last group was given a fake or placebo supplements.
Concluding the study, published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine, said that talking to your doctor about their problems become significant factors to overcome the sexual problems that exist.

Depression Increase Risk of Diabetes
Diabetes and depression as a vicious circle. Based on studies at Harvard University, depression increases the risk of diabetes. Vice versa, diabetes increases the risk of depression.
"The study showed that the two health problems that affect each other mutually," said study leader, Dr. Frank Hu, associate professor of nutrition and epidemiology at Harvard School of Public Health, Boston, as quoted from page MSN.
The study includes data that indicates, about 10 percent of the population in the United States have diabetes. As many as 95 percent of diagnosed type 2 diabetes, obesity triggered. While as much as 6.7 percent of the population aged over 18 years experience clinical depression each year.
Symptoms of diabetes are shown with high blood sugar levels and the inability to produce insulin. Generally characterized by frequent urination, easy thirst, blurred vision, and numbness in hands or feet. While symptoms of depression such as anxiety, hopelessness or guilt, lack of sleep, loss of appetite or excessive, to the loss of interest in life.
The study was conducted to observe health data 55 thousand female nurses for 10 years. A total of 7400 participants with depression, increased risk of diabetes by 17 percent. Those who are accustomed to taking anti-depressants and even increased risk of diabetes by 25 percent.
On the other hand, over 2800 participants with diabetes has a 29 percent risk of experiencing depression. Those who consume drugs and treatment of diabetes have a greater risk of depression.
Tony Z Tang, professor of the Department of Psychology Northwestern University, said, influence the relationship between diabetes and depression is reduced when participants perform the control of body weight and exercise regularly.
"This shows that the relationship between depression and diabetes is influenced confounding variables," said Tang. "In layman's terms, obesity and unhealthy lifestyles make people easily depressed, and potential diabetes."
Dr. Frank Hu added, high levels of depression will affect blood sugar and insulin metabolism, through the release of stress hormones or cortisol. While diabetes can lead to chronic stress. "So the relationship of diabetes and depression can not just issue an unhealthy lifestyle, but also has a biological relevance."

Danger! Many Women Slim Fat Feeling
An American study revealed, one of every four women with overweight continue to feel slim. This is clearly the danger because they indirectly indifferent to the health threat due to being overweight.
"With the increasing rates of obesity in society, today many women consider being overweight as a normal thing. They no longer care about the rules of body mass index," said Dr Mahbubur Rahman, author of the study from the University of Texas, as quoted by the Telegraph.
The study was conducted by interviewing over 2,000 local women associated body weight, diet, and exercise habits. The majority of respondents did not realize the influence of excess weight on health threats.
In a study published in the Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, as much as 25 percent of respondents proved misjudged the size of their bodies. They feel they do not have a problem with body size, although body mass index calculations showed symptoms of obesity.
This finding is quite alarming because it indirectly shows the number of women who do not care about his health. Because, being overweight is not merely an aesthetic problem, but potentially increase the risk of dangerous diseases such as heart disease, stroke, and diabetes.
"Errors of this mindset is also a threat to the obesity prevention campaign," Professor Abbey Berenson, study leader, added. "Those who are obese tend to be lazy but feel slim eating healthy foods and exercise."
Ideal weight
Obesity becomes a problem in many parts of the world. In 2015, the number of sufferers is expected to reach 700 million inhabitants. Or about 30 percent of the number of overweight people worldwide.
Patients with overweight or obese is not necessarily obese. They are classified as obese has a body mass index (BMI) over 30. While obese people are limited in scale 25-30, and the ideal body for 18.5 to 24.9.
BMI is calculated from weight (kilograms) divided by height squared (square meters). As an illustration, a person weighing 70 kg and height 160 centimeters had BMI 27.4 kg per square meter. Figures for the position he's in the obese category comes after the number 70 kilograms divided by 2.56 square meters (1.6 meters x 1.6 meters).
