Botox treats not only wrinkle but also prostate

August 23, 2008 on 2:36 pm | In Boxton | No Comments

I was really fascinated when I read that Botox shots that I normally take for my wrinkles has other positive effects as well, though it is of no use to me, it would certainly help my husband. Yes, I am not kidding; Botox injections are reported to help prostate issues. It is really a difficult connection to make but a recent study seems to have its reasons for such a conclusion.

It has been estimated that over 50% of men have problem with their prostate gland. It grows bigger than what it should be in men in their 60s. This is really a frustrating condition that leads to urinary problems and irregular bowel movements making one go to the toilet several times in a short span of time. Such people cannot control their bowel movements for a long period of time so their social life gets affected very badly putting them to embarrassment. Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) is a non-cancerous type of prostate and it has to be treated in time; if this is not treated in time it can lead to other serious problems such as inability to urinate and even kidney damage in extreme cases.

Benign Prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) responds to Botox shots and the symptoms ease with a single Botox shot and the effects last for almost a year. There are other forms of treatment for Prostate that are regularly used but to treat BPH but they are often not effective or have other side effects such as nausea and impotence. Studies have found out that by injecting Botox directly into the prostate gland in patients who have the problem can relieve them from its symptoms. In certain cases it also shrank the enlarged prostate gland and above all it had not side effects.

Now its time for both of us to go for our Botox shots together. I need to find a London Botox center that would also offer prostate treatment for men. I am really happy for my husband because I see him suffer daily with his prostate problem and he was getting ready for his surgery as his condition was not responding to medication. He too would be really thrilled when he hears that he can avoid surgery. We have been postponing his surgery for a very long time thinking of the post-surgery issues that he had to face.

Botox is really a wonderful toxin that treats so many conditions in an effective way. I have always been happy with the results of Botox treatment that I get for my wrinkles from my regular London Botox beauty clinic. I see the results in just 2 days time and the effects last at least for 4 months and each time the results last longer. Initially when I started I had to go for the shots once in 3 months. Now after a couple of injections it lasts for 4 months. Some of the topical treatments which promise immediate results take at least 3 months to start showing some results and that too not really effective.

 

 

Blushing is Embarrassing

What do you know about facing social embarrassment because of blushing that creates a vicious circle? Something happens and I blush, realizing that I am blushing I will be embarrassed and when I am embarrassed I blush even more this cycle repeats until I turn red and run away from the situation. Only someone who has experienced this will know what I am talking about. All of us blush but people who have problem like me blush more than the others.

 

I have tried several forms of treatments for blushing and I have probably tried everything possible. I have taken several tablets that are to be taken orally and also tried several topical treatments but they only aggravate my problem. The topical creams that I take cause irritation on the skin and turn my face red. This makes my face look blushed all the time. This not the result that I wanted to achieve, I wanted something effective and something that will really be effective without having any negative side effects.

 

Finding no effective solution I started avoiding all types of social situations that will make me blush. The more I avoided the worse it became; I was unable to go even to do my regular shopping as I was unable to face people. It became so worse that I blushed even at the counter when I had to pay my bills at the stores. You might be thinking that I am exaggerating but I am not. I tired even psychological counseling and that too did not work.

 

One day I happened to read an article about Botox treatments for people who suffered from excessive blushing and its effectiveness. I knew that this would be my last chance to help me improve the situation and as I have already tried everything possible, I thought I will try this too because I was really desperate to start leading a normal life again. With the new hope I gained, I started looking for a Botox London physician who will be able to tell me more about Botox treatments for blushing. I wanted to make sure that what I read was really true because we get so much of crap on the internet. We find so many things that are true and that are not true as well and it is our responsibility to double check on things that we read before implementing them foolishly.

 

At last I found a Botox London treatment center through my friend’s reference whose wife uses this center for her anti-aging treatment. My first appointment with the doctor was really fruitful because first of all I was really happy to hear that Botox is an effective treatment for blushing and secondly that it has no major side effects. The results can be seen almost immediately. The treatment will not stop me from blushing completely but I can have it reduced to up to 90% which will be just enough for a normal person. The treatment hardly takes 30 to 45 minutes and I can continue with my normal daily activities immediately after the injection except to bend over or lie down.

 

Psychological effects of Hyperhidrosis

August 12, 2008 on 7:10 am | In Body Care | No Comments

Though Hyperhidrosis is a physical problem, it has a lot of psychological implications on the person who is suffering from hyperhidrosis. There are no exceptions to this including myself. The physical problems are easy to manage but the psychological impact it had on me was really unmanageable and I tried even meeting psychotherapists so that I can handle myself in a little more effective way.

 

I was very much aware that the psychological impact will not disappear completely unless and until the cause is treated successfully; as long as there is excessive sweating there will be psychological problems. The most difficult problem to deal with is the embarrassment; when you are sweating and your shirt is fully soaked you will not be comfortable going and standing before a group of people whom you are supposed to address. Statistics say that over 70% of people who suffer excessive sweating also suffer from extreme embarrassment. As they say, one leads to the other! When I am embarrassed my confidence level goes down terribly and I am no more able to handle even the most regular social situation including a warm hand shake. I am hesitant to extend my hand to the others for a handshake because of the fear that they may pull it back quickly as soon as they come in contact with my sweaty palm. On the one hand my confidence level is going down and on the other hand people perceiving me as a less confident person because I do not engage in a firm handshake but a sloppy one.

 

When things don’t go the way we expect we automatically get frustrated and this is one of the effects of hyperhidrosis. You cannot expect things to go the right way when you are a less confident person; you are always short of something. There is something always missing in your work and that is what I have been experiencing. All these things make me a very unhappy and depressed person. I am sure that this is the plight of all those who suffer from excessive sweating.

 

I have tried all forms of treatment except surgery. None of the methods seem to be effective; they only drain my money and lead to further frustration. When I was just about to breakdown, I was introduced to a Botox hyperhidrosis physician in London who specialized in hyperhidrosis. My first appointment with him went on very well and it gave me so much of hope; however, I was careful this time not to get too excited because every time I came across a new treatment I expected too much from that treatment and thought that it is going to change my life. To my surprise and excitement Botox hyperhidrosis treatment did change my life as it had dramatic effects and above all I did not have any side effects. I don’t have to go to my work every morning with three formal shirts in my office bag! You can imagine the amount of freedom I would have enjoyed. I used to wake up every morning because each day was filled with endless episodes of embarrassing situations; but now I look forward for the new day every morning because I am able to achieve so many things everyday.
