Perimenopause – what we know so far

A recent Mayo Clinic discussion highlights a global study revealing gaps between what people expect during perimenopause and their actual experiences.

African and Caribbean Heritage and Gynaecological Health in the UK

Gynaecological health in the UK intersects with race, culture and socioeconomic factors. Women of African and Caribbean heritage face disparities in access, trust and screening uptake, highlighting the need for culturally informed care.

Key areas include contraception, menstrual health, fibroids, and endometriosis. Fibroids are more prevalent in Black women and can cause heavy bleeding and anaemia and those with endometriosis often experience delayed diagnosis. Cervical cancer screening and HPV vaccination also require culturally tailored outreach to improve uptake.

Barriers involve access, communication, bias and limited data. Improvement hinges on culturally competent care, training in implicit bias, and community-based approaches, including multilingual resources and flexible or same-day services. Data collection on race/ethnicity and inclusive research are also essential.

If you are from any of these communities and worried about any aspect of your gynaecological health please contact us at: https://lancashiregynaecologist.co.uk/contacts/

What causes bleeding after in*******se?

Bleeding after vaginal s*x can be caused by a range of factors from minor and temporary to more serious conditions. Common causes include vaginal dryness or irritation, which can occur with hormonal changes, certain contraception methods or infections. Minor vaginal tearing from in*******se can also lead to brief bleeding, especially if there is vigorous or deep pe*******on, insufficient lubrication, or a recent pelvic surgery or childbirth.

Less common but important causes include infections (such as yeast infections or other vaginal infections), cervical polyps, cervical ectropion, or hormonal changes that lead to thinning of the vaginal lining. In some cases, bleeding after in*******se may be related to cervical or uterine polyps, fibroids, or, rarely, cancers, which require prompt medical evaluation.

If you experience bleeding after in*******se, consider documenting the amount, colour, and duration of the bleeding, and reflect on recent s*xual activity, lubrication use, and any accompanying symptoms like pain, itching, or discharge. It is important to schedule a visit with a gynaecologist for GP for a thorough evaluation, especially if the bleeding is heavy, persistent or accompanied by dizziness, fever, or severe pain.

For more information on causes, you can review Mayo Clinic’s overview: https://www.mayoclinic.org/symptoms/bleeding-after-vaginal-s*x/basics/causes/sym-20050716

What is GSM and how does it affect women in menopause?

Genitourinary Syndrome of the Menopause (GSM) refers to a collection of symptoms that occur when oestrogen and other hormones decrease during menopause. It can affect the vaginal and urinary tract tissues, leading to symptoms such as thinning, drying or irritation of vaginal tissues, pain or burning during in*******se, increased vaginal itching or discomfort and urinary symptoms like urgency, frequency, or discomfort, as well as recurring urinary tract infections. GSM is common and treatable. If you notice any of these symptoms, you’re not alone and help is available. Treatments may include moisturisers, lubricants, vaginal oestrogen therapy, and other medical options tailored to your needs. It’s important to talk with a urogynaecologist to find the best approach for you.

Why see a urologist for kidney stones

Kidney stones can be incredibly painful, and when they strike, you want the best care fast. A urologist is a doctor who specialises in the urinary tract and reproductive system, and they’re trained to diagnose, treat, and manage kidney stones at every stage. If you’re dealing with sudden, sharp back or side pain, blood in the urine, or severe nausea and vomiting, a urologist can determine the stone’s size and location and guide you through the safest, most effective treatment options. They can help you decide whether you need medication, non-invasive techniques like shockwave therapy, or a minor procedure to remove or break up the stone.

What are the different types of urinary retention?

Urinary retention occurs when you’re unable to empty the bladder fully or at all. It can be acute (short-term) or chronic (long-term), and it may involve a partial or complete inability to urinate. Understanding the types can help you discuss symptoms accurately with a clinician and seek appropriate care.

Acute urinary retention is a sudden, painful inability to urinate that requires immediate medical attention, while chronic urinary retention is an ongoing difficulty that develops over time and may become persistent. Obstructive retention results from a blockage in the urinary tract, such as kidney stones, preventing urine flow. Unobstructed (functional) retention happens when the bladder muscles don’t contract properly despite no physical blockage, and overflow retention occurs when the bladder overfills because the detrusor muscle can’t contract effectively, leading to leakage or dribbling.

Common symptoms to watch for include a sudden inability to urinate or a burning sensation during urination, a frequent urge to p*e with little output, a weak urine stream or double-voiding, lower abdominal discomfort or cramps, and fever or back pain if an infection develops. If you’re experiencing symptoms, seek prompt medical evaluation to determine the cause and appropriate treatment.

How Bladder Botox can help with incontinence

If bladder control is an ongoing concern, bladder Botox is a treatment option that some people find helpful. It works by relaxing the bladder muscles to reduce leakage and urgency, offering an alternative for those who haven’t responded well to other therapies. The approach and suitability depend on individual health needs, so a discussion with a qualified healthcare provider is essential.

Bladder Botox is administered via a small procedure under guidance of a clinician.

It can help reduce urinary urgency, frequency, and leakage for many people with overactive bladder or certain types of incontinence. Benefits typically last several months and can be repeated if needed, with attention to safety and potential side effects discussed in advance. It’s one part of a broader management plan that may include lifestyle changes, medications, and pelvic floor exercises.

Understanding Urodynamics: Why Urinary Incontinence Occurs

If you’ve ever wondered what’s going on when urinary incontinence happens, a urodynamics test can help explain it. Urodynamics assesses how the bladder and urethra store and release urine, providing a clearer picture of what’s causing symptoms like leakage, urgency or frequent toilet trips.

In simple terms your urologist may measure how well your bladder fills, how strong your urine flow is, and how the bladder and urethra work together. The results help tailor treatment, from lifestyle changes and pelvic floor exercises to medications or procedures.

Identifying the underlying cause can lead to more effective, targeted management thus reducing symptoms and improving quality of life.
