Experiences with

Women's health

It’s really frustrating reading all of the posts containing miss information and poor diagnosis for dozens of women. Myself I’m 45 had issues with periods .. pain.. and it’s been for 20 years. Never thought I’d be a mum but I was after a number of attempts and a tragic 38 weeks still birth.. but really

I'm also thinking about consulting a Naturopath, I've read here (https://sanatio.com.au/health-conditions/womens-hormones-health/) that naturopaths can help clear out acne. I'd really appreciate any ideas/suggestions.

Why is womens health so shocking. Sick of the uphill battle. I'm not even 30, the thought of living with this progressing is very depressing. Sorry for the miserable post, just very deflated right now. Thank you if you spent time reading this, even if you're unsure about advice xx

Also saw womens health nurse who did a physical exam, nothing unusual. I discussed possibly having endometriosis and was told that because of my age the gynecologist would not be interested in seeing me.

My husband is going to begin taking Orgovyx. He takes high blood medication, both Amlodipine and Metoprolol. He takes them each at approx 830 am each morning. We have asked his doctors if he should space out his blood pressure meds and the Orgovyx, but the doctors don’t seem to have an opinion on that

Hi all posting for my husband. He recently got put on Enalaphril blood pressure medication, 5mg once a day. The first week his blood pressure went down from 170/95 to 129/80. However, two days ago when he tested (the doctor told him to test everyday and record until next appointment), it was 148/96.

My Health Journey (Need some guidance) Age 14: Typhoid & Knock Knees At 14, I suffered from typhoid. Soon after, I was diagnosed with knock knees, and the doctor recommended surgery. However, I was afraid and chose to avoid it. Age 15: Overeating & Sudden Health Issues At 15, I developed

All other blood work looks great. Trying to make sense out of this. Wondering if it could be related to radiation injury. Only urinary symptoms are increased urgency occasionally but no retention. No hypertension or diabetes or any other comobidities. Husband has tele health appointment to discuss but

I am male, 83 years old and was recently treated for Atrial Fibrillation. After having Atrial Flutter and ablation. I had already been taking Amlodipine for blood pressure (around 160/80). I was given Cardioversion which worked fine (so far) and also given Rivaroxaban and Bisoprolol. Since then I have

Womens Health department decided it was time for another camera investigation, and my goodness me was that painful !!!

A lot of us here are on ADT and that can trigger fat gain. I thought I'd share how I manage it fairly successfully. I'm sure a lot of others do the same and maybe we can swap tips. Although this works for me (I love measuring things) it may not work for you and it does rely on a fairly stable diet that

I’m wondering if others are having the same difficulty that I am. I had IMRT and HDR Brachytherapy 4 years ago along with 12 months ADT. About a year and a half ago I started testosterone replacement therapy since it wasn’t coming back on its own. PSA is remaining undetectable so all is good there. Erections

Unfortunately I suffer from Fibromyalgia which has a myriad of life changing symptoms that transform your entire life . The issue is exacerbated further by some members of the medical profession who still refuse to acknowledge the condition. The lack of visible symptoms doesn't help sufferers, but the

It has been 3 years since my HDR Brachytherapy, and Viagra still works for me, although the day after, I have problems with stomach cramps and diarrhea. I have found that I need to take it on an empty stomach to be effective, and I have tried taking Pepto Bismol tablets beforehand, but it really doesn't

Hi thanks so much for taking the time to read my post. So yesterday I went out with my Mrs and had some strong stomach pains, I instantly felt like I needed the toilet. I went to toilet and had a bad case of diarrhea, upon wiping I realised the toilet tissue had blood on. I then looked in the bowl and

Hello everyone, I have been suffering from sensations of instability, dizziness, and pressure in my head for the past 6 months. I often feel like my head is “light,” with discomfort when standing, sensations similar to having consumed a few drinks, and sometimes a feeling of falling into the void. Degrees

what can I do if I can never get full on a appropriate amount of calories and even high volume veggies make it challenging to stick to a calorie deficit 😭 I am eating mindfully, well rested, drinking liters of water as much as I can, eating a lot of protein from eggs and chickpeas and fish, healthy

Hi All, I hope its ok to introduce myself. I'm new here - joined today - and tbh I need support in my weightloss journey. I seem to have stalled for a good few months now and I'm just getting back on track now. I started my weight loss journey back in June 2024 when I weighed 230.8 lbs and 46.6% body

I'm sure there's already been loads of debate here about what kind of diet is best and I have my own opinions, based on research and personal experience, but when I choose my approach to weight loss, I really struggle to stick with a program without easily swayed by someone else's ideas and I can end

The gales have passed on and I have rescued my wheelie bins from the street. I took part in an NHS piece of research. Had to have blood taken, and measurements were done of height, weight, etc.: Good news: their scales weighed a pound less than mine, even with my clothes on. Not so good news: I
