SquirtingTruth: Medical
Approaches to FE
The potential for
misdiagnosis when it comes to female ejaculation is one of the
primary reasons that I created this site.
While research has firmly established FE as a legitimate occurrence
among women, there are still those in the medical community who
refuse to acknowledge it. Unfortunately for this reason, many
women are still being referred for treatment for 'urinary
incontinence' issues, rather than being provided with proper
information.
The reason for my concern when it comes to unnecessary surgery can
be summed up in the following list of possible complications:
• Risks associated with anesthesia
including death in 1 out of every 200,000 patients
• Increased risk of repeat / serious infections, causing 9,000
deaths per year *;
• Excessive bleeding;
• The bladder can become scarred and lose it's ability to
function properly
The following has been taken from a site called "Embarrassing Problems":
Passing urine during intercourse, and being unable to control it,
happens to many women. No one seems to talk about this, so a
sufferer thinks she is the only one with the problem.
Is it common?
A doctor did a survey of women attending his urogynaecology clinic
(many of whom of course already had an incontinence problem) and
found that 24% had incontinence during intercourse (British Journal
of Obstetrics and Gynaecology 1988;95:377–81). Most had felt too
embarrassed to mention it to their doctor.
In about two-thirds, the leakage occurs when the penis enters the
vagina (penetration).
In about one-third, the leakage occurs only at orgasm.
What can be done
Your doctor may prescribe oxybutynin or a similar drug for you. You
should take this about 1 hour before sex (if you can plan that well
ahead!).
Alternatively, your doctor can prescribe imipramine, to be taken in
the evening. This is normally given as an antidepressant, but it
also has effects on the bladder (which is why a similar drug is used
to treat bed-wetting in children). If your doctor suggests it, it is
because of its bladder effects, not because he or she thinks you are
depressed. The dose will be lower than given for depression.
If none of these deals with the problem, it would be worth asking
for a referral to a gynaecologist, preferably one who specializes in
urogynaecology. If you have leakage at other times, as well as
during sex, an operation to strengthen the bladder neck is sometimes
recommended. Unfortunately this operation is successful in
controlling leakage during intercourse in only two-thirds of people.
Now, I've included the link so that you can read the entire page.
The author(s) mention female ejaculation but dismiss it. I
realize and accept that some people, male and female do have
legitimate incontinence issues but the willingness to simply provide
drugs or perform surgery without acknowledging that there may be no
medical condition present is unacceptable.
As an aside, it may come as no surprise that this is a UK site.
The UK is particularly difficult when it comes to acceptance of
female ejaculation.
I hope that as more of us begin to discuss female ejaculation and as
further research is done, this type of ignorance will become less
and less prevalent.
