In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: In the first six to nine weeks after surgery, it is important to avoid heavy lifting, as well as any other activities that may increase the pressure or stress on your abdominal or pelvic areas. Ask your boss for modified duties at the workplace if you have a job that involves heavy physical labor. Your doctor may advise that you do Kegel exercises to strengthen the muscles in your pelvic area following surgery. Be sure to follow your doctor's advice on when to begin strengthening exercises, and how many to do at a time, so that you do not put undue stress on your pelvic area following surgery. Also avoid sexual intercourse for 6 weeks following surgery, to allow time for a full recovery. If you are overweight or obese, this puts additional stress on the muscles and ligaments within your pelvis and vagina. Being overweight can significantly increase your risk of recurrence of the condition following surgery, due to the continual extra pressure in the area. Therefore, to minimize your risk as much as possible, and to ensure that the benefits of surgery last for as long as possible, you may want to consider weight loss. Strategies to reduce your weight (if you are overweight) include increasing your aerobic (fat-burning) exercise, and improving the health of your diet, among others.

You will also want to ask your doctor to treat chronic conditions such as a persistent cough or ongoing constipation, which may put additional stress on your abdominal and pelvic floor muscles. While the specifics of recovery may vary on a case-by-case basis (depending upon the severity of your prolapse), surgery is generally very successful at treating vaginal prolapse. You can return to normal activity fully by six to nine weeks after surgery, and your surgeon can advise you on a plan for a gradual return to activity during this time period. Note that sexual problems may persist even after the surgery is complete. The surgery will most likely resolve the anatomic problem (the prolapse), but it will not necessarily resolve associated sexual challenges. If you are struggling to get your sex life back on track, you can ask your doctor for suggestions or for a referral to a physician who specializes in women's sexual health and wellbeing. Challenges that are common include pain with intercourse and decreased libido, among other things.
Summary: Avoid heavy lifting and other similar activities while you recover. Consider weight loss to prevent recurrence of your prolapse. Be aware of your expected recovery from vaginal prolapse.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: There are certain ingredients commonly found in facial cleansers that can irritate or dry out skin. The safety of some of these products is still debated. Read the ingredients label of your face wash, and avoid brands that use: Diethanolamine (DEA) Monoethanolamine (MEA) Triethanolamine (TEA) Sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) or sodium laureth sulfate (SLES) Triclosan Most fragrances contain phthalates, which are a group of chemicals that are often used to soften plastic and vinyl. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) does not know very much about the potential side effects of phthalates, so it is best to avoid them. While no scientific evidence supports this, some people even think phthalates may interfere with puberty and decrease sperm count. Additionally, other fragrances might include hormone disrupters. Whenever possible, avoid buying cleansers that use artificial fragrances or perfumes. Whether you are using an oil cleanser, face wash, or cleansing wipes, you can usually find an option that uses natural ingredients. Look for face wash that contains herbs, oils, and other plant-based products. Ingredients towards the top of the list are used in higher proportions than ingredients lower in the list. Green tea has antioxidant properties and reduces inflammation in the skin. Licorice also has anti-inflammatory qualities. Witch hazel, peppermint, and tea tree are astringents that can help control oil and acne. Aloe, cucumber, and rosewater are good for dry skin. Castile soap is a traditional soap that is made with lye and vegetable oils. It lacks many of the unnatural ingredients found in most cleansers. Liquid castile soap can be mixed with essential oils or natural ingredients like honey, or it can be used on its own.
Summary: Avoid potentially harmful ingredients. Watch out for fragrances. Search for natural ingredients. Buy Castile soap.

After all, confidence is the best accessory one can wear. You can create a memorable trademark by accentuating the parts of your body or personality traits that you love about yourself. We all want to be remembered by something great, and creating your personal trademark is a great way to define yourself. For example, if you're quirky and outgoing, make bright and unique jewelry your trademark. If you love your naturally beautiful dark hair and tan skin, accentuate these features by making your trademark a deep red lip color. Your choice of clothing is a reflection of who you are, including what you're interested in, your inspirations, and your aspirations. The more connected you are to your personal style, the more confident you'll appear. Incorporating your favorite music, hobbies, and goals will help you truly connect with your style. Say you're interested in metal bands. Incorporate your favorite band t-shirts into your wardrobe. Dress up your metal tee with your favorite jeans and heels for a stylish look that's completely you. If you aspire to be a corporate CEO, dress the part! Incorporate power suits or sleek dresses into your weekly wardrobe. Dressing to your goals will bring out your inner confidence.
