“We demanded speed in the writing of this Plan, two years of delay are than sufficient more”, has affirmed to the president of CHA and spokesman of Health, Ibeas Snows, that were the one who impelled in Cortes the creation of the Advisory Council of Attention to the Health of the Woman and who has come denounced in several occasions slowly whereupon the department gave fulfillment to this parliamentary agreement and, generally, to the initiatives related to the health and the women.

Ibeas asked for 9 of October the past copies of the Plan, that has not been sent by the department, thing not at all is strange if, as it seems, they are doing still it. It was in November of 2007, two years ago, during the debate of the initiative for the creation of the Advisory Council when the PSOE presented/displayed an amendment proposing that this consultative organ register within the framework of “already announced” Plan of Attention to the Health of the Woman. But until yesterday, never it had been spoken more of this Plan. CHA will follow very kind their development, so that it is not more in a mere announcement.

The thematic one chosen contemplates the situations and more common challenges with those than usually is the doctor in this field. Structured in sections, the book studies and analyzes the diseases vulvares, vaginal, cervical, the uterine pathology, the obstetrical situations, the diseases associated, the mammary ones, the endocrine and genetic situations, and the primary attention of the woman.

By its clarity, its wealth of images, its easy and comfortable handling, is essential as much for doctors in formation as for experience professionals.

“If finally the sanitary reform is approved, I assure to them that we are going to see how more money to the fight against AIDS and HIV is destined”, it asserted Clinton, that participated in a debate in the University of Columbia of New York organized by its foundation and the Center the International for the Treatment of the AIDS of Columbia.

The ex- agent chief executive, who was accompanied by the director by that center, Wafaa El-Sadr, and other experts, assured that to secure a universal cover of the health system “he will help much to create the network” necessary “to improve the attendance to people infected by the virus and who they suffer that disease”.

Clinton debated about the state of AIDS in the world and on the paper that the companies, the Governments and the civil society can have in the fight against this virus and emphasized the necessity to add efforts to end “terrible” a disease that is “avoidable and treatable”.

“In 2010, nobody, independent of where it lives or on how much money has, would have to lose to a being loved because of a terrible disease, but that it is possible to be come up and to be tried”, it assured the ex- agent chief executive, who sent a touch of attention to the American population about the confidence whereupon they see the disease.

The Americans, in his opinion, “tend to think that, thanks to the work of great foundations and of the Government, we are on the verge of ending AIDS in this country and to world-wide level, and that is not truth”, since “the crisis is in the United States worse than we had thought”.

“In the United States still they are not under treatment all the people who would have to be it, nor everybody that had puts under the tests of AIDS”, asserted Clinton, that in addition it assured that “only 40% of the people in the world who are affected are able to survive”.

The ex- American governor explained that those numbers must “to the existing problems, for example, to distribute medecines”. In addition, he emphasized the importance “of speaking of all those problems” and the actions that are due to take to maintain with life those people anywhere in the world.

Clinton, that defined the World-wide Day of AIDS like “a very personal and touching day”, also remembered today the efforts that the Government of the United States carried out under his Presidency to secure to advances “without precedents” in the prevention and the treatment of the disease in this country.

“We concentrated in zones and populations especially affected in the United States, including the Afro-American and Latin population”, assured Clinton, that said that, when left the White House, “the stigma vanished, more people put to the test themselves, the antirretrovirales took place on a large scale and practically everybody had access to medicines”.

The director of the Center the International for the Treatment of the AIDS of the University of Columbia, Wafaa El-Sadr emphasized, on the other hand, the high index of women who are affected by the AIDS anywhere in the world, something that, in his opinion, must to “the vulnerability that undergoes the woman generally, not only with AIDS”.

“The women do not show the control of the economy nor of the education, and they do not have access to many opportunities at those societies that have not transformed themselves into igualitarias, where the health of the woman is not a preoccupation”, explained El-Sadr in their intervention.

The doctor assured, nevertheless, that to solve that problem she is due to also work in “the role that the man plays, because he continues being central stops to the aim to protect to the women” in many countries.

Menopause.jpg Photo: Menopause by Coffeelatte

The fact is that the menopause yes represents the beginning of many problems of health for the woman. Some are:

1. Diseases of the heart. It is accepted that feminine hormones or estrogens have an important protective effect on the health of the heart of the woman. Until approximately the 50 years, many more men than women die of diseases of the heart. Between the 50 and 65 years, the deaths are compared. After the 65 years, the women have a slight but real risk of having more deaths by diseases of the heart that the men. It is why the life style, that includes a healthful feeding (to eat of everything in small portions and to prefer fruits and vegetables) and to at least do 30 minutes of daily exercises, is very important to diminish the cardiovascular problems.

2. Osteoporosis. This great problem in the health of the woman is the second during the menopause. Again, one thinks that the estrogens are important to cause that the calcium of the bones remains patch to these and offers hardness him. The lack of estrogens of the menopause causes that the bones lose hardness with much rapidity (is why, in spite of aging in the same way, the men rarely suffer of osteoporosis). Although the prevention of the osteoporosis must begin from the first childhood, it is advised that as of the 40 years the women begin to take I supplement of 1,200 to 1,500 calcium MGS with Vitamin D. The first densitometría (measured of the densidad or hardness of the bones) must be done to the 50 years.

3. Urinary incontinence. The lost one of elasticity of weaves of pelvis causes that the bladder and the uterus “slip down” and the famous prolapse or fall of those organs takes place. One of the most annoying symptoms of that condition is that the woman cannot control her urine and develops the urinary incontinence, which can be really discapacitante. The exercises of Kegel or the surgery can help in those conditions.

4. Overweight. One of the most feared complications of the menopause. Its cause is not clear, but it is a very frequent and frustrating problem. Again, like in the control of the diseases of the heart, a style of healthful life, that includes a suitable feeding (to eat of everything in small portions and to prefer fruits and vegetables) and to at least do 30 minutes of daily exercises, is very important to control the weight. Obvious the preventive consultation to control the total cholesterol, the “good cholesterol”, the “bad cholesterol”, and the triglycerides are very important.

5. Mental health. Recent studies indicate that the risk of developing to depression duplicate during the menopause. The adapted aid of the family and by all means, the professional aid, are important to restore the mental health.

6. Sexual life. The distance of sexual desire is a very important problem in this stage of the life. Not only the feminine lack of estrogens or hormones, but the relative absence of the small amount of testosterone or masculine hormone cause this problem. The treatments with testosterone can be tried, but they must be administered by far taken care of due to the undesirable indirect effect of virilización (development of fuzz, changes of the voice tone and acne).

Indeed, always we must see us pretty, how to speak of which we have gas problems, for example? “That clears all attractiveness to him to any woman”. Nevertheless, silence is much worse, since the majority of these problems of health that could parecerte laborious, have solution. I do not say you you disclose that it to the four winds, but, that you speak of the subject with your doctor.

Of which problems I am speaking?

1. The gases: All the people suffer of gases, but to speak of the subject is a species of taboo. Nevertheless, olvídate of your prejudices with your doctor. If you think that you suffer of gases in excess, cuéntale, because generally this has to do with your nutritional habits or some problem of the intestine. Much people think that the gases only take place when eating kidney beans, but it will surprise knowledge that taking drinks with straw or pitillo, also causes that it passes much air to the digestive system and gases even take place or, consuming some sweeteners as sorbitol produces gases in some people.

2. Tinkling frequently: One calculates that to near 17 million women in the United States the urine escapes to them. This problem appears normally after the menopause, but before, as it is the case of many smaller women of 35 years, it can be signal of a problem greater than it requires treatment. If your bladder is more active of the normal thing and from time to time you feel that the urine leaves and you cannot control it, it sees the doctor and it speaks frankly. Dile: “I am here because I have a problem with my bladder”. You will have taken the first step.

3. The vaginal scent: If you think that your vagina smells bad, it can be a symptom of some infection, but not necessarily of fungi. Some women automedican themselves with vaginal creams that do not solve the problem. If this passes and is affecting your sexual life to you and your image of same you, speaks immediately with your doctor.

4. The syndrome of the irritable Colon: One characterizes by abdominal pain and changes in your landlords to go bathroom, like soft lees or diarrhoea. It affects a 15% of the population. For that reason you do not suffer in silence! Speech with your doctor on the matter. Ayudarte can improve your life in this sense.

5. Excessive perspiration: The sweat always is a problem, coverall the inconvenience that produces the humidity, or even, in some cases, the scent. Many women sweat too much or in the hands or the armpits. This is not normal and you must consult with a specialist (you could begin with a dermatologist) so that it recommends a medicado antitranspirant to you. In certain cases an operation can be recommended.

6. The lack of sexual desire: Many women know that the lack of sexual desire is a reflection of a physical, psychological or social problem, and for that reason, it shames to admit it to them. Nevertheless, first that you must do it is to speak it with your doctor to determine the cause. Of that way you will be able to implement changes in your life to begin or to return to enjoy sex.

Dile not to silence! If you suffer of some of these “shameful” problems, speaks. Your life will be much more happy once you have talked with your doctor and you have learned the options that exist to solve your condition. For more information and gratuitous bulletins of health visítame in

Obama has inherited a country in crisis. An increasing fiscal crisis darkened the campaign of 2008 like an increasing hurricane that arrived at its climax at the moment that the voters went to the ballot boxes. They voted to him to a great extent because they thought that it was not, unlike McCain, a Bush reincarnated. Lacking of its evangelical inoperancia of Cowboy, with respect to the bank, the sanitary insurance and the war, Obama are not more than a pale shade of the corporativista perspective of Bush.

The crisis on the sexual health of the country is derived from the fear of the Christian right to the sexual pleasure. This is expressed in the deep opposition to the reproductive health of the woman (particularly the right to the abortion), its adhesion to policies for adolescents centered solely in abstinence, its acceptance of the increase of cases registered of diseases of sexual transmission and AIDS and its reprimands on the increase of pregnancies between the young adolescents and women.

Instead of human policies directed to these thematic ones of sexual health, the presidency of Bush offered only moralistic judgments. Hidden after those judgments it was the fundamentalist belief that the resulting suffering of the problems related to the sexual life, especially the resultants of sex occurred outside the heterosexual marriage, was sign of the God revenge: one receives what it is deserved.

Many hoped that Obama and the democrats gave a more human value group to the policies of sexual health. Still they can.

The adoption by the Congress of the Stupak amendment to the project of law of “reform” of sanitary insurance (H.R. 3962) reveal the deepening in the crisis of the sexuality. The amendment, devised by the democrat of Michigan, Bart Stupak, medically increases the restrictions to the right of the woman to a safe, legal and reviewed abortion. It was a shining maneuver of the forces anti-election that (apparently) took to the democratic leaders with the lowered trousers.

The question of the federal aid for the abortion was without a doubt going to be the battlefield in the effort of the democrats to approve the reform of the national insurance of health. While It nibbles (1) continues being jurisprudence, the Christian right has mobilized last the three decades and average systematically to restrict the access to the legal abortion. The Christian right embraces so much to republicans as to “Blue Dogs” (2); Stupak is associate with the faction of extreme right, the Family, the evangelical Christian version of the Opus Dei

Adding insults to the insult, 64 democrats voted the amendment. They seem to have forgotten what the Supreme Court of Justice through its judge Ruth Bader Ginsberg recognized: the right to the abortion is in the “center of the autonomy of the woman to determine its own service life, and thus to enjoy estatus of equal citizen”.

Other thematic ones of sexual health comprise of the legislation but they attracted much less attention. These include:

Support to the sexual education. Under the project of law of the Senate, two dispositions are included that seem in contradiction one with the other, result of the classic political commitment. One will destine 75 million dollars to the year to a comprehensiva sexual education. The other will destine 50 million dollars to the year for the education on abstinence; the law project reautorizaría Title V of the abstinence program that expired east summer. Under the project of law of the Senate, there will be support for “clinics of health” in the schools.

(The budget proposed by Obama for fiscal year 2010 is not surprising that redirija bottoms for sexual education from the programs of “only abstinence” towards the programs from prevention of pregnancy. Thus, keeping this double slope, the budgetary proposal includes a provision allowing that those that endorses the programs “only abstinence” receive bottoms).

Support to the prevention of pregnancies. The project of law of the Congress includes the “Healthful Initiative for Prevention of Pregnancy of Adolescents” disposition that creates a program of federal subsidy to support programs “based on evidences” that try to reduce the pregnancies of adolescents; abstinence is not listed as a program “based on evidences”.

Support to fiscal benefits for the pairs in fact. The project of law of the Congress incorporates the language of the proposal “Fiscal Law of Equality for the Plans of Health” that would implement fiscal advantages marital type to the pairs of the same sex. Under the law project, the employees that they have pair in fact would be treated just as “spouses”.

Support to a greater prevention of HIV – AIDS. The law project incorporates the “Law by the early Treatment of HIV” that “would allow the Medicaid programs of the state to provide with treatment of HIV to individuals before developing AIDS”. It would extend the Law of Social Security giving to the States the option to cover people with low income.

Maintaining the glorification of the fear with denunciations of “committees of the death”, the right has been rebelled against these modest programs. The republican Michele Bachmann noticed that the clinics of health of the schools would offer abortions to the students. Matt Barber, director of cultural subjects of the Liberty Counsel, preservative legal group, affirms that “the operations would be provided as much with change of sex for Americans as for illegal immigrants who suffer of Disorder of Identity of Sort (according to the Psychiatric Association of the USA), duty free, courtesy of the contributor. The present price of this procedure can exceed the 50,000 dollars”.

The organization “for Americans Truth about Homosexuality” is positioned against which she sees like the invasion of the “lobby gay”. It notices that the adoption of analytical categories as “sexual direction” and “identity of sort” undermine the moral order of the nation: these terms “promote the fiction especially, between the students, of which the homosexual behavior is natural and it does not suppose risks for the health, admitting here that this behavior supposes specific problems of health”.

One already only can hope that the modest provisions that support the sexual health do not undergo the same destiny that the abortion when the project of final law of the health insurance encarrile its end in the consensus process search.

The sexual health of the nation is in crisis and why would not have to be it? The Great Recession combined with the “Great Imperialistic Madness”, the military misfortune that began in Afghanistan, was towards Iraq and now it extends to Pakistan (the next one will be Egypt) is having innumerable disasters. How in a society marked by increasing levels of unemployment, bankruptcies, expropriations, people without ceiling and violence, would not hope that the sexual life reflected the crisis? The present rise in the indices of diseases of sexual transmission, adolescent pregnancies and HIV – AIDS is indicating of this crisis.

In the decade between 1997 and 2005, the level of diseases of sexual transmission (including syphilis, chlamydia and gonorrhea) increased a 55% (of 0 ‘ 94 million to 1 ‘ 4). According to the CDC (Center for the Control and the Prevention of Diseases) it had registered 1 ‘ 5 million cases of diseases of sexual transmission in the 2008. The most disquieting cases, those of adolescent girls between 15 and 19 years that supposed 409,531 cases of chlamydia and gonorrhea. Worse it is the situation of the afroestadounidenses, that represent 12% of the population of the USA, and almost counted around a 71% of the registered cases of gonorrhea and half of all the cases of chlamydia and syphilis.

The pregnancies of adolescents increase. The Guttmacher Institute indicates that there was a total of a million pregnancies (that is to say, natural births, abortions and abortions) between the adolescent young people between 15 and 19 years in 1990; in 2002, the pregnancies of adolescents fell to 746.800. Much more problematic: the Federal Forum Interagencies on statistics of the Childhood and the Family states that the pregnancies of adolescents grew between 2005 and 2006, coverall between adolescent girls between 15 and 17 years (like the daughter of SARAH Palin, Bristol, embarrassed to the 16 years).

HIV – AIDS increases. In the 2007, there was approximately 1 ‘ 2 million registered cases. Nevertheless, the CDC indicates that the AIDS indices enter the men of 15 24 years increased during 1997 – 2006. What affirms unequivocally: “The epidemic of HIV – AIDS in the afroestadounidenses communities is one continued crisis of sexual health for the USA. At the end of 2006 there was an estimation of 1 ‘ 1 million people living with HIV of which almost half (46%) was black/African Americans.

The increase in the diseases of sexual transmission, in HIV – AIDS and in the pregnancies of young women indicates that the USA must in one go surpass the tyranny of the right; antisexual Christian values that were implanted under the policies of “abstinence” from the administration Bush. The women, the poor women (especially the afroestadounidenses) and the young people are the proverbial “canary in the coalmine” in the crisis of emergent sexual health in the USA.

From the Civil War, the right only had once as much power as the exerted one under Bush. It happened in years 20, when the movement in favor of the dry law, anti immigration, the Kuklux Klan and the eugenistas pressed to reform amendment 18 establishing the Prohibition, celebrating their whiteness with lynchings and supporting the casino Capitalism that took to the country to the Great Depression. To one it has left to ask itself solely if nothing else that another one and still greater depression combined with a genuine “world war” is the unique forces that can suppress the Christian right.

The stench of the administration Bush, like a channel in drying, today continues choking our possibilities. The term “crisis” seems inadequate to catch the magnitude of the social breakup bequeathed by the presidency of Bush: a catastrophe of the financial capital without historical precedent; increasing levels of unemployment, bankruptcies, expropriations, individuals without ceiling and violence; a crisis in the system of health in increase; two military shipwrecks in the occupations abroad; a population of well armed enrabietada right and; and an increasing distance between rich and poor. Only Herbert Hoover could have bequeathed similar inheritance to its successor.
