hormone

Avatar f tn 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. I am a grandmother and I took every precaution to deliver 3 healthy babies including refusing medication of any kind for child birth.
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?
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 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 n tn Nipple stimulation to induce labor releases oxytocin which is a labor hormone. Oxytocin makes your uterus contract.
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 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 m tn Actually, it could also be hormonal, in that the hormone(s) that cause the refractory period do not come into play or aren't present. Check out "male refractory period" on Wikipedia or from other sources. Here is from that article: "An increased infusion of the hormone oxytocin during ejaculation is believed to be chiefly responsible for the male refractory period, and the amount by which oxytocin is increased may affect the length of each refractory period.
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 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 Your uterus normally does have contractions after orgasm. The hormone oxytocin is released and this causes the uterus to contract, bigger orgasm more oxytocin. If you are close to your period it can cause your period to start sooner and cause more painful cramps before your period starts. There has also been some link between more painful cramping in women who are closer to menopause or in menopause. A warm compress or heating pad should help.
Avatar f tn I've done it at the end of my pregnancies. It definitely brings on contractions, but they would stop after an hour or so. :-/ but unless your body is ready, it's not going to do much.
Avatar f tn m trying to find out if the injections to the pregnant mom may have an effect on a male fetus hormone development, showing up later in his life, after puberty. I can not find case studies where these (17P) babies were hormonally tested as they aged. Only found 'ok' physical and developmental studies till age 5. The injection (17-Hydroxyprogesterone aka 17P) states it blocks the mother's action of oxytocin and inhibits the formation of gap junctions.
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).

You can get the best results if you're masturbating at the same time. Oxytocin is the hormone produced by an orgasm. It may seem odd, but try to enjoy the process or it might not work. Also limit your water intake, slight dehydration can bring on contractions. I know women are gonna complain about me mentioning dehydration.
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 Breastfeeding releases the hormone oxytocin and prolactin. These can cause fatigue when you first start. It'll pass after awhile though.

Avatar f tn When we hug or kiss a loved one, oxytocin levels drive up. It also acts as a neurotransmitter in the brain. In fact, the hormone plays a huge role in pair bonding.
Avatar f tn When you have sex, certain chemicals are released in the brain, one being oxytocin(the bonding hormone). Oxytocin makes you feel attached to whom ever you are with, so if you sleep with multiple partners, your brain feels attachment toward each guy, losing a bit of yourself each time you sleep with someone new.
Avatar f tn At the end of pregnancy, when the baby drops down into the pelvis, the baby’s head puts pressure on the cervix. This constant pressure causes your body to release oxytocin, which is the hormone that causes contractions. The contractions push the baby even farther down onto the cervix, which causes it to dilate, which causes more contractions and so on…. It’s the combination of hormones and pressure from the baby’s head that cause cervix dilation.
