Women who have low body image esteem and binge-eating tendencies often develop sexual problems, experts report in a recent Journal of Sexual Medicine study. 

​Worries about weight and attractiveness may lead to dissociation during sex, they added. In other words, women may become so anxious about their appearance that they psychologically detach themselves from the encounter.

​For the study, sixty women completed questionnaires about their eating habits, body esteem, sexual distress, and dissociative tendencies. They also watched a short video that contained both sexual and neutral content. 

​The researchers measured levels of cortisol, a stress hormone, in the women's saliva at various time points during the video.

While most long-term survivors of prostate cancer are satisfied with their treatment decisions, some do have regrets. 

Prostate cancer can be treated in a variety of ways, including surgery, radiation, hormone therapy, and chemotherapy.  Another option is active surveillance - monitoring symptoms, but not treating them directly unless they are bothersome. 

In a recent study of 946 men, 15% said they regretted the option they chose. 

Of those men, almost 40% said they'd developed sexual problems, such as erectile dysfunction (ED).  Eight percent had issues with their bowel.
