HRT REVIEWED

PMS, PERIODS, AND WHAT TO EXPECT DURING PMS, periods, and what to expect during perimenopause.

UNDERSTANDING LIBIDO CHANGES IN OLDER WOMEN Understanding libido changes in older women. Libido describes our sexual desire, both conscious and unconscious.

A UTI, or urinary tract infection, occurs when bacteria which doesn’t normally live in the urinary system enters a part of it — this might be the urethra (the tube urine travels down in from the bladder to outside the body), the bladder itself, the ureter (the tube connecting the kidneys to the bladder), or even sometimes the kidneys.

TAMPON FIBRE SHEDDING IS COMMON, BUT IS IT SAFE?

Anyone can be infected with oral thrush, but certain people are more likely to contract it. FIVE TONGUE CONDITIONS OFTEN MISTAKEN FOR THRUSH Geographic tongue.

The tongue develops smooth red patches with an irregular light (or white) coloured border. These patches can vary in size and location and can move to differentlocations every
GETTING READY FOR THE RETURN OF NATURAL PERIODS AFTER THE The mini pill, on the other hand, can be stopped at any time. However, for most women, it can take up to three months for periods to be regular on stopping the mini or combined pill. 2 This is because the pill can stop the body producing eggs and therefore interfere with how the body produces the hormones that regulate periods. WHAT YOUR MENSTRUAL CYCLE HAS TO DO WITH RECURRING THRUSH Being such a common condition, it is likely that many women are familiar with vaginal thrush (Candidiasis). It is a fungal infection caused by an overgrowth of Candida (a form of yeast) in the vaginal mucosa, and it is said that 75% of women will have at least one episode of thrush within their lifetime. 1 Symptoms are nonspecific, and include vaginal itching, and a thick, curd-like vaginal COULD MY PELVIC PAIN BE CAUSED BY PCOS?
