Common Questions and Answers about Hormone oxytocin baby

hormone

Avatar f tn I am completing treatment for breast cancer which has caused me to have to take hormone blocking medication. As as result I have sexual side effects. Oxytocin was recommended by a friend but I researched and saw herpes mentioned in things to tell your dr. What I'm asking is does that only apply to pregnant women for the safety of the baby or is there also a reason for concern for myself who is not and will not be pregnant.
Avatar m tn I'm thinking that you MIGHT find an answer on the Dermatology Forum. I don't think it will have anything to do with oxytocin though. Oxytocin is a hormone used almost exclusively to aid women during labor to stimulate contractions, to induce labor in cases of maternal diabetes, preeclampsia, eclampsia and erythroblastosts fetalis. Did someone tell you this drug would help with wrinkles? Perhaps you should speak with a plastic surgeon?
1139187 tn?1355706647 In the male mammal, the small peptide hormone oxytocin is produced in similar quantities within the hypothalamo-pituitary magnocellular system as in the female, yet for the male little is known about the physiology associated with this hormone. The present review summarizes what is known about the function of oxytocin in the male mammal and tries to take account of both central and systemic effects, and those linked with a local production of oxytocin within the male reproductive organs.
Avatar f tn Could be uterine contractions. Oxytocin (the hormone that makes you orgasm) is responsible for contractions when you go into labor. Practice contractions post orgasm are totally normal although not always comfortable! Drink some water and lay down for a while to relax them away.
11236087 tn?1416440420 It also produces oxytocin, the same hormone your body produces in labor. His ejaculate also contains oxytocin. Nipple stimulation produces the same hormone. Just remember, these only help if you are already in the early stages of labor.
Avatar n tn Nipple stimulation to induce labor releases oxytocin which is a labor hormone. Oxytocin makes your uterus contract.
Avatar f tn The best way to encourage your body is to relax. During labor, your body produces a hormone called oxytocin. That hormone is also produced when relaxing, having sex, laughing, hugging, spending time with people you care about and feeling loved. Getting babies things ready, a warm bath, a pedicure or massage, feeling love from your partner, family game night will all encourage the production of oxytocin. Trying every old wives tale in the book will only frustrate you and stress you out.
Avatar f tn Stress delays labor. Staying upright helps. It utilizes gravity to help bring baby down. As baby comes down, your cervix dilates more. Sex helps you progress. Orgasm can cause contractions. Ejaculate contains a hormone called oxytocin. Pitocin, used to induce labor, is the synthetic for of oxytocin.
Avatar f tn Orgasms release oxytocin - also known as the "love hormone". It's the same hormone your body produces when you have butterflies in your stomach, when you have a crush... the good stuff. The synthetic form of oxytocin is... surprise!! Pitocin. The stuff they use to induce labor. The prostaglandins in sperm are said to help soften the cervix, too. So yeah, not much about good sex that isn't good for a pregnant body.
Avatar f tn It's more likely to actually work than just about anything else besides good sex. Sexual excitement and especially orgasm releases a hormone called oxytocin (also called "the love hormone" into the bloodstream. It's the same thing that gives you butterflies in your stomach when you have a big crush on someone. The synthetic version of oxytocin is something you've probably heard of - pitocin. Which is used to artificially induce labor.
Avatar f tn Pitocin, the stuff they give during inductions, is a synthetic hormone designed to mimic oxytocin, the hormone that your body releases when you have an orgasm (or to a lesser extent when you're crushing on someone and get butterflies in your stomach when you talk to them, or when you're turned on).
Avatar f tn Steve Connor, New Zealand Herald) As the slogan goes, it's good to talk. Scientists have discovered that a conversation on the phone can be as good as a hug in terms of boosting the "love hormone" oxytocin - at least when it comes to mothers and daughters. Oxytocin is often called the love hormone because it appears to promote social bonding and is released into the bloodstream when babies suckle at the breast or when lovers embrace.
Avatar f tn The hormone, oxytocin, that triggers labor also triggers milk production.
4715985 tn?1371582997 The idea is to simulate nursing your baby. This releases oxytocin, a hormone which causes contractions to start. Raspberry Leaf: Raspberry leaf can be taken as a tea or in tablet form. It is thought it may stimulate your uterus and encourage labour. Sex: Having sex can be tricky when you have a big bump. But it could trigger the release of oxytocin, a hormone which causes contractions. Having an orgasm could also stimulate your uterus to get labour going.
Avatar f tn Breast pumping or any kind of nipple stimulation releases a hormone oxytocin into the body which causes the uterus to contract. It all depends on your body if you go into labor. My friend breast feed her first baby while pregnant with her second and she was fine, but everyone is different.
7074486 tn?1389932822 Yeah it happens to me too. Almost like the baby knows I'm upset lol. As for the water thing, my doctor said when your dehydrated you're body releases a hormone that mocks oxytocin (natural labor hormone) that causes you to have contractions.
11928313 tn?1437358907 Sex, specifically good sex that makes you orgasm. Orgasms release oxytocin which is the same hormone that is released during contractions. And the sperm help get your body ready as well.
Avatar f tn Thnx I'll be trying some of those; )
Avatar f tn Stressing inhibits the production of oxytocin (the hormone that starts labor) and works against you. The best thing you could do is relax, have a nice dinner, cuddle up with your partner, watch a movie, take a warm bath, have sex and get some sleep. As soon as your stress hormones clear out, labor will begin.
Avatar f tn t, baby will come when baby is ready. Sex can help if baby is ready some say try walking or eating pineapple or bouncing on a birthing ball but baby won't come until baby is ready. Sorry!
Avatar f tn When you have an orgasm, your body releases a wave of a hormone called oxytocin, also known as the "love hormone". It's the same one that gives you butterflies in your stomach when you've got a crush on someone and is exactly why orgasms feel so good. The synthetic form of oxytocin is... drumroll please... pitocin. Which we're all familiar with.
Avatar f tn It causes the hormone oxytocin to be released in the body. Oxytocin is the natural form of pitocin; the drug that induces labor.
Avatar f tn No. The prostaglandin in semen can help to soften the cervix but it doesn't start labor all on its own and isn't the only way to get the cervix to soften. That's not what's used to induce labor. Pitocin, what's generally used in inductions, is a synthetic form of the hormone oxytocin which is better known as the "love hormone".
Avatar n tn You feel a little bit of a pinch feeling but its not painful. What it does is have your body release oxytocin which is a hormone. Also it helps the amniotic sac separate a bit from the wall. Baby will be fine and so will you. It literally takes like 20 to 30 seconds.
Avatar f tn Nipple stimulation has been proven for some woman to start labor. The stimulation mimics baby feeding which releases the labor chemical oxytocin (tthink that's the one). It also causes uterine contractions. Try not to lounge on the couch with your hips back, you want to keep your knees lower then your hips, it keeps baby engaged with your cervix which also releases the lavor hormone.
Avatar f tn Sex is recommended because the hormone in ejaculate is oxytocin. Oxytocin softens your cervix. Orgasm causes contractions.
335765 tn?1220169778 I am going to be induced on Thurs...I would say sex and walking...They say sex releases the natural hormone for oxytocin which brings on labor....Good luck...
Avatar f tn Plus when a woman orgasms the hormone oxytocin is released, oxytocin is the natural labor hormone :)
