Group B Strep Support
746 members
This is a community dedicated to helping those affected by group B Strep (GBS). GBS is a common bacterium that lives in 20-30% of adults, usually with no symptoms or side-effects. Most commonly found in the intestines, it can also live in the vagina of adult women. It is a ‘commensal’ – an organism that lives on another without causing harm. GBS can cause infection, most often in newborn babies. It more rarely causes infection in adults (typically women during pregnancy or after birth, the elderly and those with serious underlying medical conditions causing impaired immune system). Although relatively uncommon, GBS is the most common cause of infection in newborn babies and of meningitis in babies under age 3 months. On average in the UK, one baby a day develops GBS infection - one baby a week dies and one survivor a fortnight has long-term disability.

Pelvic Radiation Disease Association
619 members
The PRDA community is a peer support group where people can ask questions and share their experiences as well as supporting each other in living with Pelvic Radiation Disease (PRD). The group is run by the Pelvic Radiation Disease Association which is a UK based, patient-led charity set up to provide information and support to people who experience PRD following cancer treatment. PRD is a long-term side-effect (‘late effect’) affecting an estimated 100,000 people in the UK. We understand that people living with PRD can often have a complex set of symptoms which may affect their bowel, bladder, sexual and/or other functions for many years after radiotherapy. These symptoms sometimes only appearing several years or even decades after their radiotherapy treatment. PRD is defined as one or more ongoing symptoms of variable complexity that may affect people who have previously had radiotherapy to the pelvic region to treat their cancer. This includes pelvic radiotherapy for cancers of the colon, rectum, anus, prostate, testes, bladder, cervix and womb, but also total body radiotherapy and radiotherapy in the pelvic area for other primary and secondary cancers. Other words that are sometimes used to describe symptoms of PRD include: Radiation enteritis, Radiation proctitis, Radiation colitis, Radiation enteropathy, Radiation cystitis, Radiation cystopathy, Radiation-induced lumbar plexopathy and Pelvic insufficiency fractures.
