🧠🚶‍♂️ *WALKING BENEFITS EXPLAINED*

Walking is one of the simplest yet most powerful forms of exercise. Here's how your body and mind benefit minute by minute:

⏱ *1 Minute – Blood Flow Elevates*
Just 60 seconds in, your heart rate rises slightly, promoting better circulation. This sends more oxygen to your muscles and brain waking up your system! ❤️

⏱ *5 Minutes – Mood Improves*
Gentle movement boosts endorphin levels, improving your mood and reducing feelings of tension or stress. 🧘‍♂️

⏱ *10 Minutes – Cortisol Reduces*
Walking helps lower *cortisol*, the stress hormone. Less cortisol = less anxiety and improved hormonal balance. 🔽🧪

⏱ *15 Minutes – Blood Sugar Drops*
A short walk after meals can help lower blood sugar by increasing insulin sensitivity and moving glucose into your muscles. 🍽️🔬

⏱ *30 Minutes – Fat Burning Begins*
Your body taps into fat stores for energy, especially during steady-paced walking. This supports weight loss and metabolism. 🔥

⏱ *45 Minutes – Overthinking Reduces*
Extended walking clears the mind, reduces mental fatigue, and supports better decision-making and emotional balance. 🧠🌤️

⏱ *60 Minutes – Dopamine Increases*
Dopamine, the “feel good” brain chemical, rises leaving you feeling happier, more motivated, and mentally refreshed. 😊✨

💬 *Why It Matters:*
Walking is free, accessible, and incredibly effective for both physical and mental health. Whether it’s 5 or 60 minutes every step counts!

Intrauterine Device (IUD,IUCD)

Let’s talk about the *Copper IUD*... also known as *Cu-IUD or Copper-T*

As shown in the attached photo, it is a tiny T-shaped device that works to prevent pregnancy ... Without hormones.

💉This device is wrapped with copper wire and is placed inside your uterus by a trained doctor/nurse/clinician. The process isn't painful.. but can be uncomfortable (remember anything that goes through the va**na might feel a bit uncomfortable)

So how does it work?

🧲 Copper is toxic to s***m... so it messes with how they move and survive... basically making sure fertilization doesn’t happen at all. When s***m meets copper inside the uterus, they get *"destroyed"*

It’s over 99% effective and can last for *up to 10 years*... depending on the brand (like TCu-380A or Multiload).

Now, a heads up... it *might cause heavier periods and cramps* at first, especially in the first few months after insertion.

But for many, it settles down with time. Just like the hormonal IUD type.

Cost? It’s pretty affordable and even free in some government facilities. In private clinics, it might range from *Ksh 1,000 to 5,000* (in Kenya).

It's best for those who want *long-term, hormone-free contraception*.

🚫 Not suitable for people with *current pelvic infections, unexplained va**nal bleeding, or Wilson’s disease (a rare condition that affects copper storage).*

And now the biggest myth to bust today?

No... the Cu-IUD does *not get lost* in the body or move to your heart
It stays in the uterus, and your doctor can always remove it if you ever change your mind.

Let’s meet tomorrow on our season finale to talk about *barrier methods* like condoms and diaphragms.

Brown sticky discharge can be caused by several things, most of which are not serious, but it's good you’re being cautious. Here's a breakdown:

*Possible causes:*
1. *Old blood:* If it's around your period, it could just be old blood exiting slowly.

2. *Hormonal imbalance:* Irregular cycles or use of birth control (e.g. pills, injections) can cause brown discharge.

3. *Infections:* Sometimes bacterial vaginosis or STIs (like chlamydia) can cause brown or abnormal discharge, often with odor or irritation.

4. *Pregnancy-related:* It can be early pregnancy spotting or a sign of complications like miscarriage.

5. *Cervical or uterine issues:* Polyps, fibroids, or even cervical irritation.

6. *Stress:* Can affect your hormones and cycle as well.

*What to do:*
- If it persists beyond a few days or has a bad smell, itching, or pain — *get checked*.

- You may need a pelvic exam, STI screening, or hormonal tests.

- Avoid self-medicating until you're sure of the cause.

What is anor**smia?

Anor**smia is when a person has difficulty or can’t or**sm even if they’re enjoying s*x and it feels good to them.

It also describes or**sms that aren’t as strong or don’t happen as frequently as you’d like.

It’s a form of s*xual dysfunction that affects all genders. It can take a toll on your mental health, causing distress and anxiety, and can even interfere your relationships. Anor**smia is also called or**smic dysfunction

Or***ms (also called s*xual climaxing) are feelings of pleasure or s*xual excitement that occur after being aroused.

It may feel like a release and involve bodily movements beyond your control.

They can vary in duration and intensity. Some people need more s*xual stimulation to have an or**sm, while others need less.

With anor**smia, you can still have a desire for s*x and feel pleasure.

However, you may feel anguish or emotional distress because you can’t have an or**sm.

Anor**smia in women.

Anor**smia in women (also called female or**smic disorder) is classified into four types:

Primary (or lifelong): You’ve never had an or**sm.
Secondary (or acquired):

You were once able to have an or**sm but can’t now. This is common with menopause.

Situational: You can only reach or**sm in specific situations like with ma********on (self-stimulation).

General: You don’t reach or**sm in any situation, even when you feel aroused or excited.

Problems with or**sm increase as you age, but it can affect people of any age. Up to 15% of women report never having an or**sm.

Anor**smia in men.

Healthcare providers often classify anor**smia in men as a type of s*xual dysfunction called delayed ej*******on or inhibited ej*******on.

This causes problems with s*xual performance and pleasure, often leading to anxiety and avoiding s*x. Anor**smia in men has two types:

Primary: You’ve never had an or**sm or ej******ed for as long as you can remember.

Secondary: You only or**sm or ej*****te under certain conditions.

Ej*******on is a complex process that involves hormones, nerves and organs, as well as your mental state.

A disruption in any part of this process can interfere with your ability to or**sm. Certain medical conditions can also impact or**sm.

Who does it affect?

Anor**smia can affect anyone. It’s most common after menopause in women.

Symptoms and Causes

What are the symptoms of anor**smia?

The main symptom of anor**smia is not reaching s*xual climax (or**sm). Other symptoms are delayed climaxing (it takes a long time to or**sm) or not feeling fulfillment from s*xual climax.

What causes anor**smia?

Many factors can make reaching or**sm difficult. These factors can be physical, mental, emotional or medical (related to a disease or condition).

In many cases, a combination of factors make or**sm difficult, and sometimes it’s hard to determine the root cause(s).

Medical and physical causes
👉Age (especially women in menopause).
👉Medical conditions like multiple sclerosis (MS).
👉Medications, especially selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs).
👉Surgeries on your ge****ls and organs near or connected to your reproductive system.
👉Complications from cancer or radiation therapy.
👉Pelvic floor dysfunction or pelvic trauma.
👉Reliance on ma********on (you find that more satisfying).
👉Hormonal conditions.
👉Congenital disorders (conditions you’re born with) of the va**na or p***s.

Psychological causes
👉Depression, stress or anxiety.
👉Previous s*xual abuse or assault.
👉Cultural or religious factors.
👉Being shy or unable to express yourself through s*x.
👉Lack of confidence.
👉Relationship, trust or intimacy issues with your partner.

Pe**le Curving

A slight curve in the p***s is common and usually normal.

However, if the curve is sharp, painful, or recent, it may be due to *Peyronie’s disease*, which involves scar tissue buildup.

Other possible causes include ;

-Congenital curvature or past injury.
- Effects of Ma********on
-Underlying conditions
-History of pe**le shaft fracture
-Pe**le cancer
-Peyronie's disease

If it interferes with daily life or relationships, it might be worth talking to a healthcare provider or therapist.

Irregular Periods.

Irregular or skipped periods can happen for many reasons.

It simply means your menstrual cycle isn’t following a predictable pattern—either coming too early, too late, or skipping entirely.

*Common Causes:*

1. *Hormonal Imbalance* – Especially with estrogen and progesterone, due to conditions like PCOS, thyroid disorders, or menopause.

2. *Stress* – Physical or emotional stress affects the hypothalamus, which controls your cycle.

3. *Weight Changes* – Sudden weight loss or gain, or being underweight or overweight can disrupt cycles.

4. *Excess Exercise* – Overtraining (common in athletes) can suppress ovulation.

5. *Birth Control* – Some methods like implants, pills, or IUDs may cause irregular bleeding.

6. *Pregnancy* – Skipping a period is often the first sign.

7. *Breastfeeding* – Can suppress periods for months.

8. *Medical Conditions* – PCOS, thyroid disorders, diabetes, or uterine issues like fibroids.

*When to See a Doctor:*

-More than one period in one month

- If you’ve missed 3+ periods in a row (not due to pregnancy)

-Periods for just one day.

-Very light periods.

- Periods are too heavy, painful, or more than 35 days apart

- You notice unusual discharge or symptoms

*Management:*
- Treat the root cause (e.g., PCOS, thyroid)

- Healthy lifestyle: balanced diet, regular exercise, stress management.

- Hormonal therapy if prescribed by a doctor

- A cycle that’s occasionally irregular isn’t always a sign of a serious issue—but regular changes should be checked.
