Medicine is evolving at a pace we can barely keep up with. Kids born today may step into a world where living to 120 is possible.

The future of health is changing fast and their lives will look very different because of it.

Every day, there are people who quietly dedicate their lives to helping others. They show up, give their time and energy, and make life a little better for everyone around them.

Their work often goes unseen, but its impact is everywhere.

If you know someone who gives so much of themselves to help others, take a moment to tell them you appreciate them. It might mean more than you realise đź’ś

Why are women’s health services still separated from the rest of medicine?

Women’s health is so much more than pregnancy and periods. It includes heart health, chronic pain, mental wellbeing, hormonal care and the countless issues that can’t be boxed into one specialty.

We have long outgrown the idea that support for women should live in one building. Women deserve integrated care where specialists collaborate and act quickly.

If the system feels fragmented you are not alone. You deserve access, coordination and a team that sees the whole you.

Whether your caesarean is planned weeks ahead or decided in minutes, the goal never changes — a safe delivery for mum and baby.

Behind every C-section is a team working calmly, quickly and with precision.

Here’s what really happens, step by step.

What ACTUALLY happens to your breasts during pregnancy?

Behind all the soreness is a complete overhaul. Glandular tissue grows, blood flow increases and milk-making ducts begin branching in the background.

The level of biological re-design happening in just 9 months is truly remarkable.

For most mums, work life balance is a complete myth.

PCOS isn’t a lifestyle issue. It’s a medical one.

The worst thing you can tell someone with PCOS is to “just diet and exercise.”

Because this has nothing to do with willpower, it’s about biology.

We still don’t fully understand what causes PCOS, and that uncertainty makes it even harder for the women living with it. But one thing is clear: you’re not alone. So many women are walking this same road, often in silence.

If you’re struggling with it, know that you deserve care, compassion, and proper medical support.

Happy Diwali ✨

The festival of lights is also a time when many people choose vegetarian meals.

If you’re skipping meat this week, remember your iron.

Dishes like palak paneer, rajma, chana masala, and a good lentil-laden dal can keep your levels up while you celebrate.

Your body and your energy will thank you đź’ś

There’s something that happens when you finally sit down in that fertility chair.

Stress starts to ease, cortisol drops, and the body finally exhales.

We see it all the time, people who book their appointment and then fall pregnant naturally before even starting treatment.

The chair isn’t magic. The moment is.

And if that moment doesn’t happen for you, don’t worry. The science next door is pretty amazing too.

We thought we’d save you the Google search!

When it comes to medication during pregnancy, as a general rule of thumb: clear it with your OB first.

Whether it’s over-the-counter medications or previously prescribed, there is no harm in asking your doctor if this is the right move for you and your baby.

If you aren’t sure, feel free to come through and chat to our OBs about any concerns you might have.

We’re here to help guide you through your pregnancy and make this process a smoother one for you.

Unrealistic beauty standards are not a new phenomenon and just when you think you’ve seen it all, a new one pops up.

Labiaplasties have become increasingly popular & it’s exactly what you think it is.

Our very own Dr Vinay Rane chatted with all about the surgery that has been gaining traction across Hollywood and now to social media.

Pushed in the products that we sell to women to make their ge****ls more desirable, pushed in various media forms that there is only one look to achieve — it’s almost impossible to escape.

It’s also because we aren’t having enough conversations that normalise that all ge****ls look different.

There is a price that can come from “perfection” that many don’t realise.

That being said, this isn’t simply a surgical issue. It’s about protecting vulnerable patients and providing accurate education.

With so many different symptoms, PCOS can manifest differently in different people.

If you’ve experienced unexplained weight gain, excessive and rapid hair growth, irregular periods, or even any pain near your ovaries — it could be PCOS!

Whilst we are still searching for a cure, there are ways to live life whilst learning to manage it.

We’ll tell you everything above but as always, it’s best to come and chat to a doctor to rule anything out.
