The lifestyle
and any possible diseases you have suffered from may greatly influence the
health of your intimate parts, the experts say. But middle age period of both,
men and women, is counted as 'critical' when it comes to sexual health. It is
this period of your life that is the riskiest one since a very high percentage
of dangerous and often even lethal diseases are being discovered with females
as well as males. For that reason, being cautious and living a more healthy way
of life is essential to remain healthy and to enjoy your sexual life as long as
possible. This article brings you several pieces of advice on the ways to keep
your private parts healthy in your 40s and 50s.
Pay Attention to What Your Body Is Saying
A body
communicates with you every second of your life. It always gives you various
and different signals in case something is wrong with your overall health
state. The same happens with sexual health. For instance, your body will surely
announce you that something is wrong with your penis or vagina. Women usually
have a kind of a suspicious and abundant secret on a daily basis which is
definitely a sign to go check their lady parts. Men, on the other hand, may
sense a dull pain or even swelling on either testicle. These are only most
obvious examples of your body's communication, and you are to listen to it more
carefully if you want to notice everything that your body has to say. In this
way, you will undoubtedly prevent many diseases, including cervical or
testicular cancer as well as other less dangerous sexually transmitted diseases.
Self – Check Is a Must
Before deciding
to visit a doctor and sign up for a check of your intimate parts, you may well
do it at home. This is a so-called 'self-check'. The best way to make a
self-check is during a shower (for penis and breasts). Gently examine your
breasts or testicles with both hands. Should you discover something unusual, it
is high time for you to schedule a doctor's appointment. Never skip the
appointment because every day is to be appreciated and you never know when you
can detect an early stage of cancer. The sooner it is detected, the more time
you have to fight it.
Do a Regular Check Of Your Intimate Parts
Cervical and
testicular cancer strike around 15.000 women and 8.000 men every year and most
of them are between the age 15 – 40. However, if you detect them in an early
stage, you will probably manage to keep the issues under control and thus
survive the lethal disease that takes away thousands of lives on an annual
basis. But if you skip the regular check and allow cancer to spread to other
body parts, you are more likely to face up with a "life or death" situation.
In the end, you
need to realize that a fast way of living and not paying attention to your
health may only harm you when you are most likely to live and enjoy your life.
Sexual health is a very important part of your overall health and you need to
preserve it. Otherwise, it may well surprise you when you least expect it.
