Medicine isn't just science. It's privilege.

A while back, I delivered a baby for a patient who had experienced multiple miscarriages before this pregnancy. When I placed her daughter on her chest and watched her cry – that moment crystallised everything. This job isn't always uplifting. Some conversations are heartbreaking. Some outcomes aren't what we hoped for.

There are days I carry my patients' pain home with me.But then there are moments like this. Moments where years of training, months of careful monitoring, and an entire team's dedication culminate in a healthy cry and a mother's tears of joy.

To every woman I've walked this path with – through the losses, the fears, the complications, and finally the triumph – thank you for trusting me.This is why I do this work.

Honoured to share in my patients' most vulnerable and most triumphant moments🤍

I'll be honest with you... pelvic floor health is something that often gets mentioned in passing during your postnatal check-up, then quickly forgotten amidst the chaos of new motherhood.

But here's what I see in my consulting rooms: women suffering in silence, thinking that leaking when you sneeze or jump is just "part of being a mum now."

It doesn't have to be. Your pelvic floor is a complex network of muscles that's taken on an enormous task during pregnancy and childbirth.

Whether you've had a vaginal delivery or caesarean, these muscles need attention and rehabilitation. I'm talking about more than just doing a few Kegels whilst waiting at the traffic lights.

The truth is, pelvic floor dysfunction affects your quality of life in ways that extend far beyond the physical. It impacts intimacy, confidence, and even your ability to exercise.

But with proper assessment and treatment – and yes, this is where FemiLift can be genuinely transformative for some women – we can restore function and comfort. You deserve to feel like yourself again.

Pelvic floor health isn't just a postnatal issue to tick off your list – it's foundational to your wellbeing. If you're experiencing symptoms, let's have a proper conversation about what's happening and what we can do about it.

One of the most valuable things you can bring to your appointment is detailed symptom tracking. Pain that "comes and goes" or symptoms that seem random often have patterns that reveal important diagnostic clues.

I always encourage patients to track symptoms, triggers, timing, and severity. This information transforms a vague complaint into a clear clinical picture, leading to faster diagnosis and more targeted treatment. Your preparation helps me help you better.

The h***n is a thin, flexible membrane with natural openings that allow menstrual flow. Using tampons doesn't affect virginity, which is a social concept rather than a medical one.

The h***n can stretch naturally through normal activities like exercise, and tampon insertion rarely causes tearing. Some discomfort during first use is normal, but tampons shouldn't cause pain when inserted correctly.

Choose the right absorbency for your flow, relax during insertion, and don't hesitate to ask for guidance if you're struggling.

Menopause marks the end of reproductive years but the beginning of a new life phase filled with possibilities. While hormonal changes bring challenges like hot flashes, mood changes, and sleep disturbances, effective treatments can help you thrive.

Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) isn't right for everyone, but for many women, it significantly improves quality of life. Lifestyle modifications, including exercise, nutrition, and stress management, also play crucial roles.

Menopause doesn't mean accepting discomfort. With proper support and treatment, this life stage can be empowering and fulfilling. Let's work together to make your menopausal transition as smooth as possible.

Ovarian Cysts: Common, Usually Harmless, Always Worth Understanding

Most ovarian cysts are functional cysts that form naturally during your menstrual cycle and resolve on their own. However, persistent, large, or symptomatic cysts may require monitoring or treatment.

Symptoms can include pelvic pain, bloating, or pressure. While most cysts are benign, some require surgical removal, especially if they're large, complex, or causing severe symptoms.

Regular pelvic examinations and ultrasounds help monitor cyst development. Don't panic if you're diagnosed with ovarian cysts - most are completely normal and harmless. However, always follow up with your gynaecologist for proper evaluation and peace of mind.

Today, I want to celebrate every woman who prioritises her health despite busy schedules, family demands, and countless responsibilities.

Making that appointment, asking difficult questions, seeking help when something doesn't feel right - these acts of self-care are actually acts of strength and self-respect.

Your health matters. Your concerns are valid. Your comfort is important. Thank you for trusting healthcare providers like me to be part of your wellness journey.

To every woman reading this: you are worth the investment in your health. Never apologise for taking care of yourself. You matter. 💕

Endometriosis affects millions of women worldwide, yet it's often misunderstood. Knowledge is power when it comes to managing this condition effectively.

Menorrhagia (heavy menstrual bleeding) affects your quality of life significantly. If you're changing pads/tampons hourly, bleeding for more than 7 days, or experiencing clots larger than a 50c coin, you need evaluation.

Causes range from hormonal imbalances and fibroids to thyroid disorders and bleeding disorders. Treatment options include hormonal therapies, non-hormonal medications, and surgical interventions when necessary.

The Mirena IUD can be particularly effective for heavy bleeding. Don't let heavy periods control your life - effective treatments exist.
