Did you know breast pain can be hormonal?

Prima Magazine’s recent article, “How to Look After Your Breasts”, features insights from our Head of Women's Health, Dr Alison Grimston, on supporting and understanding breast health.

Dr Grimston explains, most of the breast pain women experience can be linked to hormonal changes, particularly around the menstrual cycle.

However, hormones are not the only factor. Inflammation, viral infections, poor posture, repetitive strain, or even vitamin D deficiency can also contribute. Small lifestyle choices can play a supportive role in caring for your breasts.

📌 If you're struggling with hormonal imbalances or other women's health concerns, please book a consultation with Dr Grimston here:

Are you exhausted, in pain or quietly struggling, but keep telling yourself to push through?

Women's health conditions like hormonal imbalances, PCOS, Menopause and Thyroid disorders can go unaddressed for years. Not because they aren't real, but because they can be easy to normalise when life is busy.

Fatigue isn't just a busy life. The pain isn't just stress. The brain fog isn't just getting older. These are signs your body is asking for attention.

This Women's Day, remind yourself - you don't have to keep pushing through.

Our comprehensive team of doctors and therapists helps you get to the root of hormonal and health imbalances using a holistic, functional medicine approach to help you feel like yourself again.

If you feel stuck, unheard, or simply wish to understand your body better, get in touch.

Have you noticed your Long Covid symptoms flare up after exercise?

Long Covid is a complex condition, affecting multiple systems in the body. For some people, this can include exercise intolerance or changes in heart function, often explained as deconditioning after illness.

However, for many people, other mechanisms such as autonomic dysregulation and post-exertional malaise (PEM) can play a significant role.

This is why Long Covid care requires nuance.

Path to recovery is rarely linear. While movement and rehabilitation can be valuable for some, others may need a far more measured, personalised approach that carefully considers the body’s limits, focusing on what feels safe and avoiding crashes.

You don't have to navigate Long Covid alone. Our team of compassionate doctors and clinicians, many with personal experience of Long Covid, offer personalised health plans that support your entire system with balance and clarity.

Please ☎️ call us on 020 7871 3626 or 📩 email team@drfinlays.co.uk to book a consultation.

Are you waiting for symptoms to appear before checking your health?

Understanding the difference between screening and investigation can change how you approach your wellbeing.

A screening test is designed to detect early signs of disease, such as breast cancer, before symptoms develop. It is a proactive step, to identify risk at the earliest and most treatable stage.

Meanwhile, an investigation is performed when symptoms or concerns are already present, to understand what may be causing them.

At Dr Finlay's, we look at the full picture, addressing underlying imbalances rather than just surface symptoms.

If you feel stuck, unheard, or simply want to understand your body better, get in touch.
