What are Neurological Disorders?

Neurological Disorders are disorders that affect the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord), the peripheral nervous system (peripheral nerves - cranial nerves included), or the autonomic nervous system (parts of which are located in both central and peripheral nervous system).

What are 3 diseases that are neurological disorders or neurodegeneretive disorders?

1.  Alzheimer's disease

2.  Parkinson's disease

3.  Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis also known as Lou Gehrig's disease.

Endometrial Ablation is the removal of the lining of the uterus, or "endometrium."  After the doctor removes the uterine lining, this significantly decreases a woman's menstrual flow or stops it completely.

A "tilted uterus," which is also referred to as either a " tipped uterus" or a " retroverted uterus" is diagnosed when a physician notices that the woman's uterus is in a slightly backwards or "tilted" position. 

Normally, a woman's uterus is located in a straight and vertical position in reference to her pelvis - and sometimes the uterus is tilted slightly forward. 

A tilted uterus can make conception and pregnancy more difficult.

Having a tilted uterus is not that uncommon. The American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology states that about 20% of all women have a tilted uterus. 

And, not all women that have a tilted uterus will have difficulty when trying to conceive. Many women will get pregnant with no trouble and may not have any idea that they even had a tilted uterus until their obstetrician informs them. 

Uterine Suspension is a surgical procedure that is used to relieve pelvic pain or dyspareunia (painful intercourse) when the pain is thought to be the result of uterine retroversion (also known as a "tilted uterus," "tipped uterus" or retroverted uterus). 

Generally, there are two methods that are used to accomplish Uterine Suspension surgery; 1. laparotomy or 2. laparoscopy. 

Uterine Suspension is sometimes used to increase fertility although this is very controversial and has never really been shown to increase one’s chances of becoming pregnant. 

What conditions will Uterine Suspension treat? 

Uterine Suspension is used to treat pelvic pain and dyspareunia (painful intercourse). It is used to correct the position of a uterus that has tilted away from the midline and toward the back. 

Sometimes, before Uterine Suspension surgery, the doctor may ask his patient to try a vaginal pessary in an attempt to correct uterine position. 

If the vaginal pessary does not relieve the pain, then Uterine Suspension surgery may be the next best course of action.

Menorrhagia is the medical term for women (and young girls first starting their menstrual cycles) that excessive menstrual bleeding. Excessive menstrual bleeding is defined as having a period that lasts 7 or more days each menstrual cycle (period) or is so heavy that you saturate your menstrual pad and/or tampon and need to change your feminine hygiene product(s) every one to two hours.  It is very important to inform your doctor if you have excessive menstrual bleeding! 

Women that are suffering from Menorrhagia may experience; anemia, fatigue,  embarrassing menstrual accidents, and feel that you have to restrict your life and social activities to such an extent that you "miss out on life."  Many women prefer to stay close to home so as to avoid embarrassment due to their need to go to the restroom so often so that they can change their feminine hygiene products before they become too saturated and cause even more embarrassment.


How many women have Menorrhagia?

Approximately 1 in 5 women have Menorrhagia.

Are there any treatments or therapies for Menorrhagia?

Yes, there's hope and help for women with Menorrhagia!

Here are a few of the options and therapies you will want to discuss with your doctor.

Hormone therapy - also known as "both control pills," and/or other medications may be prescribed to treat hormone imbalance. Hormone therapy is effective about 50% of the time, and may be required for a long period of time. 

Uterine Balloon Therapy - Also known as Thermal Balloon Ablation) (see below for more information)

Dilation and curettage - also referred to as a "D & C" - is a surgical procedure whereby the doctor scrape the inside of the woman's uterus to remove the lining. For most women with Menorrhagia, a D&C is temporary and reduces excessive bleeding for only a few periods.

Endometrial Ablation is another possible therapy but only if you and your husband don't plan to have children in the future. Typical Endometrial Ablation removes the lining of the uterus with an electrosurgical tool or laser. Like any surgical procedure, there are risks, which include perforation of the uterus, bleeding, infection, or even heart failure due to fluids used to open up or distend the uterus.

Hysterectomy is the surgical removal of the uterus.  As a hysterectomy involves the removal of the woman's uterus, Menorrhagia will no longer be a problem. Hysterectomy is also a surgical procedure and also involves risks. The recovery period after hysterectomy is 3 to 6 weeks. 

Perineoplasty, also known as "Perineorrhaphy,"is one of the fastest growing elective medical procedures and is the reparative or plastic surgery of the perineum which helps women with problems with vaginal opening laxity or looseness - medically referred to as "Vaginal Relaxation."  Many also incorrectly call this procedure "vaginoplasty" or "vaginaplasty."

Perineorrhaphy is the reconstruction of the muscles and tissues at the opening of the vagina and has successfully decreased the "introitus" or size of the vaginal opening. Perineorrhaphy does NOT reduce sexual sensation, in fact, properly performed, Perineorrhaphy INCREASES sensation for the woman as well as her husband/partner.

What is Colporrhaphy? 

Colporrhaphy is the surgical repair of the vaginal wall. This includes repairing many types of vaginal surgery, including the repairs of the vagina in a "Pelvic Organ Prolapse," "vaginal prolapse," "Vaginal Vault Prolapse," or the repair of a "cystocele" in the vaginal wall(s) or vaginal vault or a rectocele. A cystocele occurs when the bladder protrudes into the vagina, and a rectocele when the rectum protrudes into the vagina.

In the Colporrhaphy procudeure, a uro-gynecologist, or gynecological surgeon, places a vaginal speculum inside the vagina, which spreads/keeps the vagina open, for the doctor to inspect and repair the vagina. The vaginal wall is cut opened to reveal an opening in the supporting structures, or fascia and the defect is closed and then the vagina is repaired by suture and closed, and the speculum removed. 

Who performs the Colporrhaphy and where is it performed?

Colporrhaphy is usually performed in a nearby hospital operating room by a uro-gynecologist, urologist or gynecological surgeon.

What is a Pelvic Prolapse?

Pelvic Prolapse is another term used for "Pelvic Organ Prolapse."  Pelvic Prolapse is a very common condition, particularly among older women. It's estimated that half of women who have children will experience some form of Pelvic Organ Prolapse in later life. Many women, particularly because they may no longer be sexually active, and fail to continue receiving their annual pelvic exams, don't seek help from their doctor. Therefore, the actual number of women affected by Pelvic Organ Prolapse is unknown. 

Pelvic Organ Prolapse may also be called; genital prolapse, pelvic relaxation, prolapsed uterus, uterovaginal prolapse, pelvic floor dysfunction, urogenital prolapse, vaginal relaxation, or vaginal vault prolapse.

A Prolapsed Uterus refers to a collapsed uterus, or descended uterus, or other change in the position of the uterus in relation to the surrounding structures within the pelvis. The pelvis contains many soft tissue structures vital to normal body functions, supported primarily by the diaphragms, layers of muscles, fibrous coverings called fasciae, and various ligaments and tendons. These soft tissues of the pelvis derive their ultimate support from the bony pelvis. 

A Prolapsed Uterus may be one of three types, depending on the severity:

• First-degree prolapse occurs when the uterus sags downward into the upper
vagina.

• Second-degree prolapse occurs when the cervix is at or near the outside of the
vagina.

• Third-degree prolapse (sometimes referred to as total prolapse) occurs when the entire uterus extends outside the vagina.

What is a Vaginal Vault Prolapse?

The vaginal vault is the area at the top of the vagina, next to and adjacent to the cervix. It can only “fall” or descend downwards toward the introitus, or the entrance of the vagina, after a woman's womb has been removed (hysterectomy). Vaginal Vault Prolapse occurs in about 15% of women who have had a hysterectomy for uterine prolapse, and in about 1% of women who have had a hysterectomy for other reasons.

Vaginal Vault Suspension is a surgical procedure that provides support for the apex/vault of the vagina to various pelvic structures.

What is Vaginal Dryness?

Vaginal dryness is one of the most distressing, and painful problems a woman faces.  Vaginal dryness occurs when the natural vagina secretions decreases within the vagina. The amount of vaginal moisture varies throughout a woman's monthly menstrual cycle. Vaginal dryness is particularly problematical as a woman enters and becomes menopausal.

Vaginal moisturizers, provided by numerous companies, and a variety of brand names, are products designed to relieve the pain and discomfort of vaginal dryness. These products are applied or inserted, into the vagina, one or more times per day, depending on the amount of vaginal dryness she may be experiencing.

A vaginal moisturizer may or may not be a vaginal lubricant.  Vaginal lubricants are normally used as an aid for intercourse and used on a short-term basis to help a woman that is not able to produce enough vaginal moisture to permit her to comfortably (and painlessly) engage in intercourse.  

A menstruating woman's vaginal moisture changes from day to day, and varies depending upon her hormones that control the production of vaginal moisture.  A woman can experience vaginal dryness even during times of menstrual bleeding.  

Menopause is a normal change in a woman's life when her period stops. That's why some people call menopause "the change of life" or "the change." During menopause a woman's body slowly produces less of the hormones estrogen and progesterone. This often happens between the ages of 45 and 55 years old. A woman has reached menopause when she has not had a period for 12 months in a row.

Hormone therapy for menopause has also been called hormone replacement therapy (HRT). Lower hormone levels in menopause may lead to hot flashes, vaginal dryness and thin bones. To help with these problems, women are often given estrogen or estrogen with progestin (another hormone). Like all medicines, hormone therapy has risks and benefits. Talk to your doctor, nurse, or pharmacist about hormones. If you decide to use hormones, use them at the lowest dose that helps. Also use them for the shortest time that you need them.

Every woman's period will stop at menopause. Some women may not have any other symptoms at all. 

As women begin reaching the age of 40, their bodies are preparing for menopause, or the stopping of their monthly menstrual periods.  Menopause never happens all at once.  As young ladies approach their first period and monthly menstruation, her body's hormones are "transitioning" to producing hormones levels that will support monthly menstruation for about the the next 35 years. Similarly, as women reach their 40's, their bodies' hormone levels begin to change, and in preparation of menopause. 

Women will know they are approaching menopause, as they will notice the following symptoms:

• Changes in your period - time between periods or flow may be different.

• Hot flashes ("hot flushes") - getting warm in the face, neck and chest.

• Night sweats and sleeping problems that lead to feeling tired, stressed or tense.

• Vaginal changes - the vagina may become dry and thin, and sex may be painful.

• Thinning of your bones, which may lead to loss of height and bone breaks (osteoporosis).

• For some women, many of these changes will go away over time without treatment.

• Some women will choose treatment for their symptoms and to prevent bone loss. If you choose treatment, estrogen alone or estrogen with progestin (for a woman who still has her uterus or womb) can be used.

Hormone therapy is the most effective FDA approved medicine for relief of hot flashes, night sweats or vaginal dryness.

Hormones may reduce your chances of getting thin, weak bones (osteoporosis) which break easily.

For some women, hormone therapy may increase their chances of getting blood clots, heart attacks, strokes, breast cancer, and gall bladder disease. For a woman with a uterus, estrogen increases her chance of getting endometrial cancer (cancer of the uterine lining). Adding progestin lowers this risk.

You can, but there are also other medicines and things you can do to help your bones.

No, do not use hormone therapy to prevent heart attacks or strokes.

No, do not use hormone therapy to prevent memory loss or Alzheimer's disease.

Studies have not shown that hormone therapy prevents aging and wrinkles or increases sex drive.

You should talk to your doctor, nurse or pharmacist. Again, hormones should be used at the lowest dose that helps and for the shortest time. (For example, check if you still need them every 3-6 months.)

The risks and benefits may be the same for all hormone products for menopause, such as pills, patches, vaginal creams, gels and rings.

At this time, we do not know if herbs or other "natural" products are helpful or safe. Studies are being done to learn about the benefits and risks.

We provide information, resources and patient referrals to physicians that perform Female Genital Surgery procedures such as; Labial Reduction, Labia Minora Reduction, Clitoral Hood Reduction and Clitoral Hood Removal - which is medically known as a "Clitoridotomy" or "Clitoroplasty" as well as Vaginal Tightening Surgery.

These simple and relatively short medical procedures are the fastest growing surgical procedures that women are choosing to provide the "natural female enhancement" they have been longing for, as well as to enhance their sexual pleasure and increase their ability to orgasm.

Did you know that “female genital surgery” is the fastest growing type of plastic surgery today, according to the American Academy of Plastic Surgeons?

Ladies, are you unhappy with the looks of your vulva?  

Are your labia minora lips uneven, or mis-shapen?  

Is one of your labia minora longer than the other?  

Does you labia minora feel "floppy?"   

Do you no longer wear a bikini or your favorite swimsuit because you are afraid that your labia minora may "fall out" of the bikini?  

Do your excessively long labia minora cause pain during intercourse or when wearing tight jeans?  

Does your clitoral hood have excess skin so that it is unsightly or interferes with your sexual pleasure?  

Is there too much skin surrounding your clitoris?

Are you concerned about the looseness of your vagina? 

Does your vagina feel like it is "gaping" open?  

Does intercourse (for you - or for him) no longer feel as good as it once did?  If one or more vaginal childbirths have caused your vagina to become loose, and "not tight", he has probably noticed as well. You can once again, have the "tight vagina" of your youth! 

What you, and he are experiencing, is something called "Vaginal Relaxation" the medical term for having a "loose vagina."

These are just some of the complaints we regularly hear from women who want to improve their vulvar looks - we call it "cosmetic gynecology" and cosmetic gynecology may be what you have been looking for!  Look great, feel great, we can help you have the labia minora, vagina or vulva you always dreamed of!

Vaginal moisturizers replace the natural vaginal moisture, also called "intimate moisture" that a woman's vagina needs to prevent the pain and discomfort of vaginal dryness - especially after she has reached menopause, when her vagina no longer produces sufficient amounts of vaginal moisture.

Vaginal moisturizers provided by numerous companies, and a variety of brand names, are products designed to relieve the pain and discomfort of vaginal dryness. These products are applied or inserted, into the vagina, one or more times per day, depending on the amount of vaginal dryness she may be experiencing.

Did you know that about 35 million to 40 million American women – and their husbands and partners - are suffering from “Vaginal Relaxation.”?  

“Vaginal Relaxation” is often referred to as a “loose vagina” wherein the vagina is not as tight as it once was, whether due to vaginal childbirth, age, or other vaginal trauma. The vagina has become relaxed, or loose, and now it has become a problem for the woman, as well as her husband/partner.

Some women, as another symptom of Vaginal Relaxation, have problems controlling their urine in certain situations or notice changes in their bowel habits. These symptoms of Vaginal Relaxation are typically related to one or more problems that occur as a result of vaginal childbirth, other vaginal trauma, aging or a combination of the above.  

There is hope!  Women, and their husbands/partners, no longer need to suffer from Vaginal Relaxation.  More and more doctors are treating women and couples suffering from Vaginal Relaxation with treatments – sometimes including surgery – that will help them return to a life without the embarrassment, disappointments and heartache of the symptoms and discomforts associated with Vaginal Relaxation.

What is Female Sexual Arousal Disorder?

Female Sexual Arousal Disorder or simply "FSAD" occurs when a woman is unable to attain and maintain a full and complete erection of her clitoris along with sufficient vaginal lubrication during intercourse to be able to reach an orgasm.  

Female Sexual Arousal Disorder may also be diagnosed when the woman has no desire for sexual intercourse. 

Female Sexual Arousal Disorder affects up to 43 percent of all women, or an estimated 90 million women. Most women (more than 1/2) with FSAD are postmenopausal. Some women with Female Sexual Arousal Disorder describe the condition as being "unable to get turned on," or being continually disinterested in sex. Female Sexual Arousal Disorder has  also been called "frigidity." Other symptoms of Female Sexual Arousal Disorder may include dyspareunia and vaginismus, both of which involve pain during intercourse.

The woman and her husband/partner should both be seen as this is a "couple's problem" that is typically best resolved with both partners in treatment.  Their doctor will also insure that this  is not the result of another psychological disorder which could be a primary problem. 

If the husband/ partner of a patient with suspected Female Sexual Arousal Disorder feels that this is a problem within the relationship, that concern should be sufficient for the individual to seek psychological consultation.

Female Erectile Dysfunction occurs when a woman is unable to attain, and maintain a complete erection of her clitoris through orgasm.

If the husband/partner of a patient with suspected Female Erectile Dysfunction feels that this is a problem within the relationship, his concern should be sufficient for the individual to seek psychological consultation. 

Female Sexual Problems are also referred to as "Female Sexual Dysfunction."  A woman may have one or more Female Sexual Problems that we are just now learning that may be related to a number of factors.  

Typically, Female Sexual Problems are labeled generically as "Female Sexual Dysfunction" until such time as her doctor or therapist may be able to make a proper diagnosis.  

Female Sexual Problems may be a cause of significant distress to both her and her husband. 

If the husband/partner of a patient with suspected Female Sexual Problems feels that this is a problem within the relationship, his concern should be sufficient for the individual to seek psychological consultation. 

What is Female Orgasmic Disorder?

Female Orgasmic Disorder is defined as a sexual dysfunction that is characterized by a persistent or recurrent delay or absence of orgasm following the excitement phase of the female sexual response cycle, causing significant distress or interpersonal problems, and not being attributable to a drug or a general medical condition. 

Female Orgasmic Disorder is directly related with the woman's inability to attain and maintain a fully-erect clitoris.  

Without a full erection of the clitoris, a woman cannot reach an orgasm. 

Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder or "HSDD" has been defined as a deficiency or absence of sexual fantasies and desire for sexual activity. Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder is considered a disorder if it causes distress for the woman or husband.  The woman and her husband should both be seen as this is a "couple's problem" that is typically best resolved with both partners in treatment.  Their doctor will also insure that this  is not the result of another psychological disorder which could be a primary problem. 

If the husband/partner of a patient with suspected Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder feels that this is a problem within the relationship, his concern should be sufficient for the individual to seek psychological consultation.

What is a "Clitoridotomy"?

Clitoridotomy is the removal or reduction of the prepuce or foreskin - more commonly referred to as the "clitoral hood" of a woman's clitoris. 

Clitoridotomy is one of the fastest-growing medical procedures which takes less than 45 minutes, and performed on an out-patient basis, at a doctor's office.  

There are two types of clitoridotomy - 1. the complete removal of the clitoral hood - also known as Clitoral Hood Removal and 2. the reduction of the foreskin or prepuce of the clitoral hood, known as Clitoral Hood Reduction.

There are many reasons why women are choosing to have a clitoridotomy - or removal or reduction of the clitoral hood.  Chief among these reasons are that women do not like the appearance of the extra loose skin surrounding the clitoris.  Other leading reasons for a clitoridotomy also include the ability to increase sexual pleasure as the removal or reduction of the excess skin surrounding the clitoris will greatly enhance clitoral sensation.

For Clitoral Hood Removal, this short medical procedure, also takes place in a doctor's office on an outpatient basis.  This results with the woman's clitoral glans (the tip of the clitoris) permanently exposed. That's why this very popular procedure is commonly referred to as a "hoodectomy."  This may be cause too much clitoral stimulation for some women, with significantly greater periods of "clitoral erection," from just walking around and other non-sexual activities.  For this reason, some women prefer the "Clitoral Hood Reduction."

For Clitoral Hood Reduction, this very safe, simple and very effective procedure also takes place in a doctor's office on an outpatient basis.  The results from this procedure leaves the woman's clitoral glans (the tip of the clitoris) covered, with the "excess" clitoral hood removed. The correct medical term for this procedure is a "Clitoridotomy."

What is "Clitoropexy"?

Clitoropexy repositions your clitoris when it protrudes beyond its normal anatomical location - which may cause pain, or embarrassment, or both.

Clitoral Adhesions

What are "Clitoral Adhesions?"

Clitoral adhesions are similar to labial adhesions, except clitoral adhesions are located on and around a girl's/woman's clitoris or under her clitoral hood, which covers the clitoris most of the time. Clitoral adhesions limits and/or prevents the clitoral hood to freely slide across the clitoral glans of the clitoris.  You will know if you or your daughter has clitoral adhesions when you pull or retract on the clitoral hood, the clitoral glans moves with the clitoral hood instead of the clitoral hood retracting by itself, i.e., the glans of the clitoris moves with your pulling the clitoral hood. This can be very painful. If you are checking your young daughter for clitoral adhesions, be very gentle, as this is a very sensitive area and retracting her clitoral hood can be very painful if there are clitoral adhesions. 

You may not be able to pull the clitoral hood back far enough to expose the entire clitoral glans if you or your daughter has clitoral adhesions.  This could make cleaning the clitoral area difficult if not impossible.

Minor clitoral adhesions may be remedied by without the need for a doctor's intervention. The clitoral adhesions may be released through pressure on the clitoral hood. Things like bathing, masturbation, bicycle riding, and horseback riding.  If you do not properly wash your vulva in a manner that places traction on her hood, or masturbate in a manner that causes you to pull back the clitoral hood, you may not separate any clitoral adhesions that form, or prevent the formation of adhesions in the future.

If you believe you have clitoral adhesions or labial adhesions, you may be able to eliminate them by repeatedly pulling on your clitoral hood, in 360 degree directions (up, down, left, right, rotating in circles as well), or by taking a hot bath.

Clitoral adhesions will not disappear immediately as it took some time for the clitoral adhesions to form.

Women who experience pain can ask their partner or doctor to examine their vulva, and separating the labia, attempt to locate the source of the pain or by using a mirror and seeking the source of the pain themselves.  If you experience clitoral adhesions, either you or your partner can moisten a q-tip with baby oil or vitamin E to clean and loosen the secretions. Remember, the clitoral hood needs to "glide" easily over the clitoris. To lubricate the clitoral hood and loosen the secretions underneath, you or your partner may want to massage the area with a topical cream or baby oil.  This may require you and/or your partner to do this for several days or for several weeks.  Due to the sensitive nature of the clitoris and clitoral glans, it may be painful during the cleaning or massage due to the adhesions.

In the event you are unable to treat the symptoms of clitoral adhesions, and you or your partner cannot determine the reason for the pain, a doctor may need to be consulted. If your clitoral hood extends well past the clitoral glans, or if your clitoral hood is thick or closed, the adhesions may be totally concealed, with no visible indications. You should be very explicit in your office visit with the physician regarding your pain and show him the exact location of the any pain, even retracting your clitoral hood, if necessary for his viewing. 

The clitoral adhesions caused by the accumulated smegma is caused by the two tissues surfaces growing together, due to failure to wash away these accumulations. As a result, the body tries to heal and eliminate the source of the irritation, thus causing the tissues to fuse as adhesions. These clitoral adhesions, or labial adhesions in the event the labia minora fuse together, may also form as a result of the hood laying in constant contact with the clitoral glans.

Additionally, either you or your partner may want to massage baby oil, vitamin E, or a petroleum based lubricant or antibacterial ointment up under your clitoral hood and on the clitoral glans.  

What are labial adhesions?

Young girls and adult women may get “labial adhesions.” Labial adhesions are similar to clitoral adhesions except the smegma adheres to the labia minora (sometimes the labia majora) or the “lips” of the vulva surrounding the vagina — that has caused the labia minora to fuse or become stuck together. This happens to about 5% to 10% percent of all young girls.  Young girls and women with labia that are stuck or fused together should immediately be seen by a pediatrician or gynecologist as the urine flow (and menstrual flow in adult women) can become blocked and a serious infection or infections are very likely to occur if she is not seen by a doctor. 

What causes labial adhesions?

This probably happened because your daughter has little to no estrogen. Baby girls get a large dose of estrogen while they're still in the uterus.  About one to two months after her birth, the maternal estrogen level drops off, and this hormonal change can affect many parts of a baby's body, including the lining of a girl's labia. Her labia may even stick together. This "adhesion" of her labia can continue or come and go throughout childhood, according to many pediatricians.

What can be done to treat labial adhesions?

First of all, parents should NOT try to pull or separate your daughter's labia apart, since that might hurt. Unless the adhesion is causing any problems, it's best to leave it alone. The idea of your daughter having labial adhesion probably worries you more than it bothers her.  However, if the adhesion extends to cover the opening of the urethra and is trapping urine in the genital area, then you'll definitely want to see your child's doctor about treatment. Trapped urine can cause irritation and possibly infection. You'll know if your daughter's labial adhesions are covering the urethral opening if you find less urine in her diaper (for a young child) or she's having trouble peeing, or if her genital area looks irritated, she's irritable and crying, and she has a fever (due to infection).

Normally doctors prescribe a topical estrogen cream to treat the problem. Your doctor will tell you to apply this cream directly to the affected tissue, and in about two weeks it should unseal the labia. You'll probably start by applying the cream two or three times a day, then two times a day, then just once a day. It's important to reduce the amount of estrogen cream you use gradually. If you just stop the treatment suddenly, the labia will close up again.
