🧔💙 It’s DecemBeard – a month to raise awareness and spark conversations about bowel health and bowel cancer.

While it can feel like a tricky topic to talk about, keeping your bowel healthy is a big part of your overall wellbeing. 🌿

Things like ongoing constipation, soiling, or changes in your usual bowel habits can all be signs that it’s time to check in with your GP or health professional.

You’re not alone – and support is out there. 💙

Did you know that small changes in your daily habits can make a big difference for your bladder and bowel health?

Here are a few simple things you can try:
💧 Stay hydrated – around 6–8 glasses a day is great, but try to avoid too much right before bed.
❌ Cut back on bladder irritants like caffeine, fizzy drinks, and alcohol.
🍽️ Keep a regular bowel routine – and make sure you’re getting enough fibre and fluids to keep things moving comfortably.
💪 Add some pelvic floor exercises into your day – they support the muscles that support you!

You don’t have to figure it out alone. If you’d like to chat about what might work best for you, we’re here to help. 💙
