In the immediate days following the birth of a lil one, sex is probably one of the last things on a mama's mind. Between nursing schedules, diaper changes and recovery, women may have little desire for intimacy. In fact, nearly 65 percent of lilsugar readers said they waited about eight weeks to jump back in the saddle, so to speak, while almost all of them commented that the first times weren't the most pleasant experiences.

In case you missed it, the Olympic games open this Friday, and I am awfully excited to watch. Gymnastics tops my list of events to see, and Shawn Johnson is the gymnast to watch. Not only did she just win a Teen Choice Award for Choice Female Athlete, she also won the women's all-around title in the 2007 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships.

Surgery
Kyphoplasty, a surgical technique used to treat spinal fractures, does not improve a person's back pain or quality of life, according to a review published in 2006 by a nonprofit health services research agency. Kyphoplasty should only be done if bed rest, medicines, and physical therapy do not relieve back pain.
Ultrasound
Therapeutic ultrasound uses sound waves to deliver gentle vibrations to an area of the body.

Sling Procedure Versus Burch Colposuspension
The sling procedure is better than Burch colposuspension in treating stress incontinence but may cause more post-operative urinary complications, according to results from an important 2007 New England Journal of Medicine study. In the first large-scale clinical trial to directly compare these two types of surgery, 47% of women who underwent the sling procedure had no urinary incontinence 2 years after surgery, compared with 38% of women who received the Burch procedure. However, 63% of women who had the sling procedure (and 47% of women who underwent the Burch procedure) experienced urinary tract infections following surgery.
