Dr. Edward developed the timeless intimacy sequence for women suffering from pain during intimacy or the inability to orgasm. After joining his father's OB-GYN practice he found that many of his patients were having these issues with intimacy. He started doing research and found that although there was plenty of information available, it was all piecemeal with no comprehensive plan to help.  In this episode, Dr. Edward discusses two approaches to heat energy for intimacy, through laser and radio-frequency. The use of lasers for the restoration of the vaginal mucosa is used in parts of Europe and the Middle East. Heat energy can restore lubrication, tightening of the vaginal epithelium as well as reinstate some sensation. Because lasers can target right underneath the urethra, some patients have shown an improvement of urinary incontinence. With radio-frequency, wavelengths go down to the lamina propia and are said to help increase extent angiogenesis as well as laser therapies. Laser and radio-frequency for heat energy are just one part of a whole. Listen in for a summary of all the components that make up timeless intimacy. Dr. Edward designed this sequence to help women enjoy intimacy again. This might be an episode that will speak to issues and procedures you have had in the past but never the way Dr. Edward prescribes them. Take notes, give examples from your experiences, and take your findings to your doctor. Maybe together, you can find a way to bring intimacy and pleasure back to your relationship. In This Episode: [00:35] In today's episode, we are discussing heat energy for intimacy. [00:41] There are two applications of heat-based therapies. [00:55] Laser frequency is one application that can tighten vaginal epithelium, sensation, and restore lubrication. [01:28] Using radio-frequency along the whole vaginal vault is the second. [02:14] Dr. Edward discusses the many different parts and ingredients that make up the timeless intimacy sequence. [03:36] Dr. Edward wrote this book after working in his father's OB-GYN practice.  [03:44] He found that the patients were coming in about painful intimacy and lack of orgasm.

Timeless Intimacy with Dr. Edward, is where we uncover issues of sexual health, intimacy and the components of wellness that are specific to painful sex and menopause. Dr. Edward Tangchitnob is a board certified OBGYN who has developed a unique, effective and holistic combination proceedure to help patients make sex pleasureable again. In today’s episode Dr. Edward is discussing hormones and how important they are to our bodies. He gives us the breakdown on 6 of them and how they affect us when they are not at the levels they should be. Keep listening in the coming weeks as Dr. Edward does a deep dive into the issues around sexual health and intimacy. He is giving us his knowledge about these issues that affect all of us as we age, you won’t want to miss it. In This Episode: [00:37] Dr Edward tells us that hormones or chemical messengers are created by the body to communicate to different parts of the body. [01:10] We are living past our hormones now and we as a society are seeing the effects of what happens when the hormones run out. [02:00] Dr Edward starts at the top and talks about testosterone, it is the get up and go hormone. [03:03] In women when testosterone is highest is when they feel most attractive and they have energy and they feel more sexual. [03:55] One of the original medications for endometriosis was a modified testosterone called Danzen. [04:45] Estrogen is the next hormone Dr. Edward discusses, it is responsible for determining the quality of certain tissues, particularly vaginal mucosa. [05:42] Women complain that sex is very painful and bladder incontinence. [06:40] There are many other estrogen-mediated complaints like mental clarity, falling asleep but not able to stay asleep, insomnia, hot flashes. [06:59] Thyroid is another hormone that is often overlooked but it is very critical for the body’s function. [07:39] He is finding that patients are now sick with euthyroid syndrome, the lab values are normal but they don’t feel normal. [08:24] Thyroid is extremely important in terms of determining intimacy performance. [08:54] Prolactin is another hormone that could potentially inhibit or interfere with orgasm or intimacy. [09:33] Oxytocin is known as the love bonding hormone, it is released generally after orgasm. [10:18] Progesterone is one of the feel good hormones so when there is a lack of it in the system it can really affect the female intimacy portion of their lives.
