Prescription Botox is injected by your doctor. Effects of Botox may spread hours to weeks after injection causing serious symptoms. Alert your doctor right away as difficulty swallowing, speaking, breathing, high problems or muscle weakness can be signs of a life-threatening condition. Patients with these conditions before injection are at highest risk. Side effects may include allergic reactions, neck and injection site pain, fatigue, and headache. Allergic reactions can include rash, welts, asthma symptoms, and dizziness. Don't receive Botox if there's a skin infection. Tell your doctor your medical history, muscle or nerve conditions including ALS, Lou Gehrig's disease, myasthenia gravis, or Lambert-Eaton syndrome, and medications, including botulinum toxins, as these may increase the risk of serious side effects.

What is a testicle bath?
Thanks for asking.
Still, in this day and age, the burden of being responsible for birth control falls mainly on women. You've got an almost endless list of reversible female methods, such as the pill, coil, vaginal ring and the implant, with new ones never ceasing to emerge. On the other hand, when it comes to male contraceptives, the options out there are pretty limited. Mentalities are evolving, but there is little communication on the subject. That's despite trials on the male pill having been carried out, as you may remember from listening to our past episode on male contraception. Of course, men can choose to get a vasectomy, but that is a permanent procedure. A new reversible method has been showing promising potential. It's known as the testicle bath. This recent invention could change the lives of men and women alike. It's actually a device called COSO, which uses ultrasound heat to temporarily halt sperm regeneration. Intriguing! How does it actually work? It's certainly an ingenious device, and the testicle bath is just as simple as its name suggests. A man just needs to dip his testicles in the device's bowl and let the ultrasound do its work. First of all, the device has to be charged and then filled up with water to the required level. That will have been agreed in advance with the urologist according to the patient's testicle size. When the water reaches the right temperature, the patient can get into a comfortable position and begin the testicle bath for a number of minutes. The first use has to be carried out under the supervision of a doctor.
Let me guess, it wasn't a man who came up with this, was it? You got that right. It was designed by German engineer Rebecca Weiss, who won a James Dyson award in early September for creating the revolutionary device. Weiss was a long-term user of the female contraceptive pill, but had to stop when diagnosed with a cervical cancer precursor. She was inspired to come up with the testicle bath idea after that experience. The advantages of this reversible method are numerous. It's non-intrusive, painless, and doesn't use any hormones. But bear in mind, while it passed testing on animals, COSO hasn't yet been tested and approved on human men. Should we be expecting to see the testicle bath device available soon?
