Problem with NHS policy - again!
Off on holiday soon. At my last injection appointment I told the practice nurse that my next scheduled jab would be 4 days into my holiday and there was no way I could make the day. She said quite clearly that it wouldn't be a problem as I would be OK to have it the day before I fly. So I rang this

surgery with doctor with bad patient review
have surgery coming up and my doctor just got a 1 star review on google by a patient. The patient wrote that he doesnt listen and doesnt think outside the box so she switched doctors. Should I be worried? Is it dangerous to have surgery with him? He is a consultant at guys st thomas London. Thanks

Laparoscopy breathing tube
Hi everyone, I've finally had my initial appointment with a specialist endotriosis centre come through. Yay! I'm not sure yet whether I would even want a laparoscopy since some women have a diagnosis with just an MRI. But I know I might have to have a laparoscopy for a definite diagnosis. I've got a

ICSI and lifestyle changes - help
Hi everyone - I really need your amazing advice… My OH’s sperm sample results were great but we did the DNA frag test which came back high (there was a trial at our clinic). Our consultant told us to make lifestyle changes for 3 months and take impryl before our next round - which would be ICSI. I

Rectal pain and poo talk (hopefully not too much info) 💩
Hi, I have recently been diagnosed with rectovaginal endometriosis via laparoscopy. Although I have several other symptoms, my bowel symptoms are what affects me daily. I suffer with constipation (in terms of difficulty going not frequency) and what can only be described as excruciating rectal pain

Anyone had spinal fusion on T10-12?
I have severe osteoporosis and kyphosis from breaking T10-T12 and wondered if anyone has had this? They're recommending a spinal fusion to fix this or otherwise to live in a brace forever hoping the kyphosis curve won't progress any more than it already has. I'm wondering which is the better option if

After seeing new Consultant last week
well, had my appointment with new respiratory consultant on Weds last week, she was new to me and vice versa. She actually took the time to talk me through my ct scan done in April 2021, said she would arrange another CT soon so we can compare the two to see what the Bronchiectasis is up to now. I had

Any info or experience with light headedness and circulation issues with PD?
My husband has PD, 9 years in, He had DBS surgery a year ago and that has been a miraculous positive change, however he has this symptom of getting really lightheaded when going from sitting to standing or any quick movements, ( he passed out a while ago and hit his head) or happens like playing pickleball

Erect Penis appears shorter after circumcision.
6 weeks after the ZSR circumcision, the ring is gone. But there is swelling, only between the ring area and the glans. Flaccid penis length is the same. But when I get an erection now the erect penis appeared shorter than it was before the surgery. When I measured it, to my horror the erect penis is
