Dr John R Miklos, MD, an international expert in sexual wellness and vaginal surgery, will visit South Africa from 23 to 26 March, 2010, to promote a healthy sexual lifestyle and to share insight into alleviating sex-related anxiety.

Recognised worldwide for his work in reconstructive vaginal therapy, Dr Miklos is Director of Urogynecology and Reconstructive Pelvic Surgery at the Atlanta Centre for Laparoscopic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Vaginal Surgery in the US.

He currently runs a successful clinical and academic practice, performing surgery on approximately 500 patients a year, and has some of the largest published surgical series in the world on minimally invasive and cosmetic vaginal surgical technique.

Dr Miklos is also an internationally recognised lecturer, scientist, surgeon, author and entrepreneur, specialising in sexual wellness.

About one in 10 men will experience recurring impotence problems at some point and in South Africa, among other countries, Erectile Dysfunction (ED) is a sensitive issue, not often discussed openly.

Impotence and ED – the inability to achieve (or inconsistent) erection -- are also the source of great anxiety, much of which can be alleviated through knowledge, information and communication.

ED is also known to cause emotional and relationship problems and can lead to diminished self esteem. It has many causes, most of which are treatable. An alternative to pharmaceuticals, many of which have negative side effects, new natural products have recently proven to help overcome ED for many thousands of men.

Low libido, another familiar sex-related topic, is more common among women than men with an estimated 40% of females experiencing a lack of sex drive for significant periods compared to about 30% of men.

Female libido is much more complex than male libido which is largely physically rooted. Female sex-drive, however, can be influenced by a number of factors, both physical and emotional.

Dr Miklos will discuss these and other issues in presentations to the health trade and health industry during his four-day tour to Johannesburg, Pretoria, Durban and Cape Town. He is being hosted by OTC PHARMA SA which produces and markets a range of high quality health products, most comprising natural active ingredients.

Dr Miklos is also an entrepreneur and his new company, RockHard Laboratories, is dedicated to developing natural herbal supplements including Rock Hard Weekend, a natural sexual enhancer for men which has achieved great success in the US and which is currently being launched in South Africa.

Dr Miklos is a past member of the board of directors for the American Urogynecology Society and the editorial advisory board for the American Association of Gynecologic Laparoscopy. He is a member of the American Association of Gynecologic Laparoscopists, Society of Gynecologic Surgeons, American Urogynecology Associates and the American Academy of Cosmetic surgery.

He has authored more than 150 scientific papers, book chapters and scientific abstracts. He has co-authored a text on Vaginal Rejuvenation and Aesthetic Vaginal Surgery which was published in 2006.
