Pass #period blood 🩸 clots larger than about 2.5cm (the size of a 10p coin) is NOT normal & needs to checked out #menstrualhealth #notjustaperiod

🚨#breakingnews #endometriosis is linked to autoimmune condition such as #rheumatoidarthritis #psoriasis #coeliacdisease #multiplesclerosis #fibromyalgia etc because of a shared #genetic link. So many congratulations to my colleagues Professor Krina Zondervan, joint senior author and Head of the Nuffield Department of Women’s & Reproductive Health at the University of Oxford and @Wellbeing of Women who conducted a comprehensive analysis of over 8,000 endometriosis cases and 64,000 immunological disease cases

#lichensclerosus affects the vulva but in 20% of cases, affects other sites such as the perineum, upper trunk, axillae, buttocks and lateral thighs. It is a lifelong condition which can be managed Check out: https://www.lichensclerosusguide.org.uk/

Bringing this video back from 2023: Normal Blood Loss during a #period: Average: 30-40 ml. Typical Range: 25-80 ml. Menstrual cups are a convenient way to measure blood loss, as many come with measuring marks Checking haemoglobin & ferritin levels before and after a period can indicate excessive blood loss. If ferritin is <30g/L is NOT Normal

Replying to @Bee_whisperer I couldn’t agree with you more! Ref: The British Menopause Surgical Menopause Toolkit Surgical menopause: a toolkit for healthcare professionals #surgicalmenopause

Replying to @Alexandrea💋 yes the #weightlossinjection #glp1agonist Tirzepatide (Mounjaro®) delays gastric emptying and therefore has the potential to affect the rate of absorption of oral medicines such as oral HRT, progesterone/ progestogen which is so important for #endometrial protection alongside systemic oestrogen in those with a womb.

#endometriosis can look like #legpain due to infiltration into Uterosacral ligaments and often gets passed as sciatica or pulled muscle in young women. So have that extra clinical suspicion and ask about a #period history if a woman or girl presents with leg pains 🎥 Janinehann4

hormonal imbalances linked to #PCOS can make it difficult for women to lose weight. Historic underfunding for PCOS-centred research also means there’s a serious lack of reliable, evidence-based guidance on the best ways to lose weight – and what PCOS symptoms may improve as a result So let’s push for better #evidencebased management options for PCOS which is a chronic condition

We did laugh 🤭 😂 #WomenOfTikTok #postmenopause

Replying to @Schy 🌸 get your #period checked out

You cannot be denied #HRT for menopausal symptoms if you are overweight  HRT does not make you put on weight #obesity 👏🏾 is 👏🏾a #chronicdisease Reference to take to your doctor: NICE updated 2024 Menopause Guidelines: https://www.nice.org.uk/guidance/ng23 BMS: Menopause: Nutrition and Weight Gain https://thebms.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/19-BMS-TfC-Menopause-Nutrition-and-Weight-Gain-JUNE2023-A.pdf

Replying to @shoegal please never feel you are the problem- hope this helps 🎥 @Robyn Holdaway

#me is a debilitating disease. I know my patients suffer getting support because the research and evidence base data is scanty - but I hope using the NICE -Myalgic encephalomyelitis (or encephalopathy)/chronic fatigue syndrome: diagnosis and management - helps provide guidance of what you are entitled to on the #NHS

#endometriosis colours and why it’s important to believe symptoms or be aware of #endometriosis regardless of tests - simply put, believe women & girls

#irondeficiencyanemia in 50% of cases is due to #heavymenstrualbleeding - poor management is keeping menstruating women & girls perpetually sick #womenshealth #browntok

@Yellowstone National Park thank you for your educational service - we in the #womenshealthcare could learn so much from you

This is not a drill!! This #peerreviewed. Proteomics is set to launch PromarkerEndo for early #endometriosis detection between June and September 2025 when patents are locked in across all the major markets Referenced: https://www.smh.com.au/business/companies/proteomics-banks-4-5m-to-fast-track-novel-diagnostic-test-launches-20250422-p5lti1.html

We ALL have invisible zebra lines - medicine is utterly fascinating 🤩 🎥 @McKenna Crisp #blaschkoslines

Duet 🎥 @PCOS Weight Loss Polycystic ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is sometimes referred to as the "diabetes of the ovaries" because women with PCOS often experience insulin resistance and are at a higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes according to the RCOG. This association arises from the common link between PCOS and insulin resistance, where the body doesn't use insulin effectively, leading to increased insulin production and potentially causing or worsening type 2 diabetes Ref: https://www.rcog.org.uk/for-the-public/browse-our-patient-information/polycystic-ovary-syndrome-pcos-what-it-means-for-your-long-term-health/#:~:text=Key%20Points,other%20conditions%20later%20in%20life.
