Dr. Aklog on Elizabeth Taylor’s Heart Surgery

empowher — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 23:05:26 +0000

Academy Award winning actress Elizabeth Taylor on Tuesday announced she’s having an experimental heart procedure. EmpowHer’s Todd Hartley interviewed cardiothoracic surgeon and the chairman of EmpowHer’s Medical Advisory Board, Dr. Lishan Aklog, M.D., about Taylor’s procedure and why he considers it to be “controversial and experimental.”

Click on this link to listen to Dr. Aklog’s interview: http://www.empowher.com/media/audio/elizabeth-taylors-controversial-expe…

Aklog explained, “It sounds like she has a leaky valve, what appears to be a leaky mitral valve. This is the inlet valve for the main pumping chamber of the heart. When that valve is leaking, some of the blood goes backwards and leaks back towards the lungs. And that causes a condition which she apparently was diagnosed with five years ago called congestive heart failure.”

I’d like to talk with you about STD’s because I got this question posted to me on EmpowHer from an anonymous person who wrote,

Dr. Klein, can I get an STD [Sexually Transmitted Disease] from sucking on a girl’s breasts or fingering a girl in the vagina?

What is “normal” when it comes to vagina (hymen) size?

Wow, this question has received 5,231 reads of a question from a woman on the web site who asks me, Dr. Klein, I’m 21 and a virgin, and my boyfriend and I are talking very seriously about getting engaged. While I plan on “waiting for marriage”, all the talk of getting married has made me wonder… What is “normal” for a virgin’s “size”?

I think that I may be on the very small side, I can not fit two fingers inside myself (and I have very small fingers - ring size 4 1/2).

I have not ever even tried tampons - I don’t think I’d get them in. I’ve also decided against pap smears until after I become sexually active, because I think I would be “broken” by it.

My concern is that sex will prove to be too painful, or even impossible. I have heard that some women need to have their hymens surgically severed just to make penetration possible.

So am I fairly normal or do you think this might be an issue?

On EmpowHer women get the opportunity to ask me their sex & relationship questions, like this one, that’s gotten almost 4,000 reads, from Silver_girl who writes me, My husband is struggling with a porn addiction. I think that it is wrong for him to look at porn, for religious reasons, and also just that it is detrimental to our relationship. He wants to take pictures of me, but I’m concerned that wouldn’t be healthy either, that it could be feeding his addiction rather than helping with it. Do you have any advice on this?

Dr Klein - I Am A Newly Wed And My Husband Doesn’t Want To Have Sex With Me

empowher — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 18:28:30 +0000

A woman came to EmpowHer, clicked the ASK button and asked me the following question.

Dr. Klein, I’m 39 years old and am a newlywed. My husband and I have only been married for a month and a half and he has already lost interest in me sexually. No matter what I do or don’t do, I just can’t turn him on. I once had a boyfriend who was impotent and he at least made attempts at having sex. My husband doesn’t even try. When we go to bed he goes right to sleep. A few nights ago while we were in bed, I was trying to arouse him and he simply moved my hand and turned over, then went to sleep. I could understand if he had always been this way with me but he hasn’t. He makes me feel utterly repulsive. Is there a medication I can have prescribed for me so that I don’t have the urge for sex and so I won’t have a problem with his lack of desire for me?

Sex with my boyfriend A woman on EmpowHer posted a question for me. She writes: Dr. Klein, So me and my boyfriend have been together almost 2 years, and well when we first got together it was everyday 2 or 3 times a day for awhile, and well now its maybe 1 or 2 times every 2 months… I dont get it.. I’m 21 and he’s 25.. I live on my own so it has nothing to do with parents or roommates.. I’m the one that always initiates sex. And when we do have sex it lasts like 15 minutes tops.. but it never use to..

I know sex isnt the main point to a relationship but it does help. I always bring this topic up and he’s always like i love having sex with you but he doesnt! Ok so for instance last night he slept over and nothing, no making out no touching NOTHING. So when he left this morning I texted him and asked him why he doesnt like having sex with me and he says oh i do, you’ll see bla bla… Can you please tell me why this is happening!!! Thanks so much!!
