circumcision and work
Hello, I had my circumcision done 5 days ago. May I know for the guys who took time off work, how many days did you take before you returned to work? And how do you go about your day at work? Like did you use a bandage? Also around how many days after the surgery did you guys start having meals

Why do GP like to group everything as depression and anxiety?
HI All I have questions about NHS and GP which I never understood. This is based of my experience of dealing with GPs not possible not a norm I am not sure why this so normalised. 1) Why do GPs prefer to brand every symptom (exhaustion, memory loss, tiredness, sleep disorder so many more) under

Managing Pudendal Neuralgia pain
Hi all, I joined this forum to remain on top of developments around the complex pelvic floor issues affecting women and to seek support from others. In my experience these are generally poorly understood by doctors in the UK especially at consultant level and there is an absence of multi agency support

What are the better treatments for metastasis of the bone and pelvic lymph nodes?
Just found out the past few weeks from a biopsy and a PET/CT scan that the cancer was not contained in the prostate but metastasized to the pelvic lymph nodes and the bones. Was a surprise to me and to the urologist as well. He is recommending no surgery but a multimodal therapy with androgen deprivation

electric tug down leg
Hi, I have just had another back surgery, fusing L5 to S1 and pelvis for nerve pain that is going down the back of my leg , front of knee and top of foot. It feels like someone has an electric cattle prod and running it up and down the back of my leg, it is horrendous. The op did nothing to relieve it

self-inject intramuscular vitamin B12
Hi all,I often read these posts but not very often write in. I was diagnosed with PA in 2000 using the schillings test. I have been having IM injections every 3 months ever since. However since COVID I have been self injecting. My surgery does not really support that, so I just buy supplies from Germany

Voice weak after thyroidectomy
I had a thyroidectomy 5 years ago and after surgery had a check on vocal cords which were fine. However my voice has recently become a bit weaker and I constantly have to cough to clear my throat. Is this normal so long after surgery?

Breastfeeding on Cosopt preservative free eyedrops
Hello, I have been back and forth with my eye consultant the last few weeks. I am now 38 weeks pregnant and they have switched me to cosopt eyedrops preservative free twice a day. I had laser eye surgery which they were hoping would bring my pressures down for 4-6months with no medication but this hasn't

is Gabapentin helping me?
Hi. You’ve heard from me before and my case is very different to most. I have terminal cancer and decided I couldn’t cope with trying to withdraw from Ropinerole. So I am now on a 4 mg Neupro patch plus 2 mg Ropinerole. My neurologist is letting me increase the dose as the augmentation kicks in as I

stage 4 endo
hi all, I’m 20 and just been diagnosed with stage 4 endo. My endo specialist has given me a couple of options. Either take norethisterone and see how that goes or surgery for excision. I want a family and he said some women can conceive naturally and others need help. I just wondered what other people

video capsule
Good morning, I’ve got to have a video capsule endoscopy in a few weeks. I wanted to know if anyone has had this procedure done please??? I'm very anxious as I have diverticulitis as well as Crohn’s disease! I know it can get stuck and if can’t be dislodged they then have to do surgery. I don’t do

When do good periods start after laparoscopy
hello, I had my laparoscopy at the beginning of April when endo was confirmed and they removed all of the tissue and a cyst. Since then I have had two periods which have been the worst I have ever been. Excruciating pain - I must say it wasn’t for the whole period but lasted a couple of days Incredibly

Hello
Hey, I'm new. I've been looking for a community of women like me. I'm having a hard day... For a while now. But I went to a new family Dr after my move. When we started talking about my endometriosis she didn't seem to care about how much pain I'm in or have been in. How much this has effected my life

Anxiety and loneliness
Hi, I'm a 69 yrs old female, I first dealt with anxiety with the birth of my first child 41 yrs ago. That was due to a thyroid condition that I had surgery for, but continued with anxiety and panic attacks. I couldn't drive, hyperventilated, could not go grocery shopping due to panic attacks. After
