Hormones play an important role in a woman’s health. When hormonal imbalance occurs, it leaves a negative impact on her mood, fertility, sexual desire and ovulation. The female hormones estrogen and progesterone are produced every month. Imbalance occurs when estrogen and progesterone levels do not match and affects our health.

Issues With Teen Pregnancy


Teen pregnancy is a big problem affecting a large number of teens in the United States every year. According to researches about 500 thousand babies are born to teenagers with a period of one year. Though this rate has declined in the recent years, yet there are a large number of teens who fall prey to this problem. The fact is that these teenagers are not ready to become parents as they are themselves not out of childhood themselves.

Parenting in the teenage most often means single patenting. Almost none of the teens who become pregnant get married or live with the other partner. Many times, the baby’s father does not get involved in the life of the baby at all. At such times, the young girl is left all alone to raise the baby all by herself or with the help of her parents. Such a situation becomes even more difficult if the girl belongs to a family of a single parent.

This happens in situations where the teen mother may want to give up her baby but the father doesn’t agree. Once he is proved to be the biological father, he can raise the child as his own just like a teenage mother. However, in both cases the teen mother or father needs help and support from his / her family to raise the child to be healthy and happy.

Cystic Acne


Acne is caused by the excessive oil and dead skin accumulation on the skin. There are various kind of acne and one of the worst form of acne is called cystic acne. These are swollen pustules that are formed on the surface of the skin. The cystic acne is the most painful form of acne. These cannot be cured by the over the counter products or devices like Zeno Clearing device. They need medical attention.

Cysts are most commonly red pustules in appearance but they are swollen and filled with pus. The cause for the cystic acne is almost similar to that acne. They are formed for the same reason. At times they are caused by the hormonal changes as well.

Cysts at times may also resemble a nodule. The only difference is that a cyst is pus filled and a nodule is not. Cysts are classified by having a diameter of 5mm. There are other kinds of acne as well, which can be classified by cysts.

There are other various types of uncommon acne, which are very painful and cyst like. This includes Acne Conglobata, this mostly found in males. This is a very uncommon form of acne. These are mostly characterized by large lesions on the body, which at times can be interconnected.

Acne Conglobata is most found in men in the age group of 18 to 30 years old. This kind of acne can only be treated by isotretinoin, better known as Accutane. It is available with a prescription only.

One of the other uncommon acne is called Acne Fulminans. This is found among male teens. In this acne the sufferer gets severe nodulocystic. This is different from other acne as this is accompanied by fever and joint pains that accompany this form of acne. The only prescription medicine for this condition is also found in Accutane, though the drug has severe side effects.

The nodulocystic acne damages and destroys the healthy skin tissue and thus there are a lot of chances of the acne leaving a scar behind.

There are a school of researchers who believe that cystic acne can be hereditary in nature. There is no particular age for getting an acne. It usually appears on the skin with the onset of puberty but it is common among people in their 20s and 30s as well. It is a common occurrence among pregnant women after the delivery.

The ALA is absorbed by the active cells such as Acneic sebaceous glands. The blue light helps the sebaceous glands to shut and not producing excessive oil.

The therapy helps in reducing the oilness in the skin. The texture of the skin increases as the therapy is followed by a Photodynamic Acne treatment.

The skin might be a little red and peeling after the photodynamic treatment as the old skin sheds and the new skin stars to appear on the skin. It is also advised that there should be no exposure to the sun for the 48 hours after one goes through the therapy.
