Times Are Changing…Finally!

September is here, and thanks to some amazing women; significant changes have come into place improving the lives of thousands of women currently suffering with menopause symptoms. If you don’t know what these changes are, then keep reading… you could be one of these lucky women to benefit!

From September, women in the UK (over 50 and who have...

Time Management…those two dreaded words.

When I speak to anyone about their pelvic health, the first thing I talk about is commitment. If we don’t commit to making changes and seeing improvement, we won’t move forward. Unfortunately, just sitting on our bums is not going to create results. It’s tough. It’s so tough, and I know this because I have been there too. I...

Times are changing. So many taboo topics are discussed more nowadays, and that’s great. But are times changing quick enough? Are menopausal women getting the help and support that they need and deserve? That question is debatable. Most women know what menopause is and around what stage in their life it will occur. But most do not know what to expect regarding the physical and mental...

In our community, the same question is asked time and time again…how do I know if something is “wrong” with my vagina. And it’s an excellent question. So many women ask this because we are not encouraged to get to know our vaginas at any point in our lives. Not when we are at school, not during sex education, not as we go through puberty, and most surprising of all, not...

The Covid Cough: How to Avoid Prolapse Deterioration 

2020 started like any other year, but just a few weeks later, Covid became a massive part of our lives. Back then, we didn’t know how much it would control what we did on a daily basis, and we also had no idea that our lives would still be affected so dramatically almost two years later.

Pelvic organ prolapse affects 50% of...

There is no disputing that when our babies are born, they receive the best possible care. They are loved and cherished as they deserve; those tiny, precious human beings place this huge responsibility in our hands. For most of the population, we embrace that responsibility and wear it as a badge of honour. We want to nurture them. It comes instinctively. But what about us? Are we loved and...

Did you know that according to Incontinence UK, “rapid growth has been predicted for the global incontinence market between now and 2026”?

No, no, no, this is all wrong!!!  Why are these companies getting all our money? We need to resolve this problem, not mask it!

When it comes to leakage, there isn’t such thing as “the norm”. Incontinence comes in different...

Running after prolapse…can we, can’t we?

Why is it that women never talk about their vaginas unless there is something wrong with them? I am not for one minute suggesting we all need to be discussing them over coffee and cake, but why are our “lady parts”, as we often refer to them, such a taboo?

At different stages of our lives, many women encounter pelvic health...

There is a question that I get asked a lot. It’s not a particularly pleasant question, but it is one that everyone should know the answer to. It’s also a question that many people don’t ask because they are scared to hear the answer. But it’s time we spoke about taboo subjects more; it’s time to stop them from being taboo!

The question I get asked is,...

Is the general health of the population being neglected due to the current pandemic? The number of people going to A&E has dropped dramatically in England (it is down more than 20%), prompting concerns that the seriously ill may be staying away because of the Coronavirus crisis. While our NHS must focus on the current pandemic crisis, millions of people suffer in silence at home....
