Period cramps can be hard to explain, especially when the pain is coming from a muscle you can’t see or touch 👀

During your period, the uterus contracts to shed its lining. For some people, those contractions feel like mild discomfort. For others, they can be intense enough to affect work, study, exercise and everyday life.

Because the pain is invisible, it’s often misunderstood. That doesn’t make it any less real! If your period pain is severe, stops you from doing the things you normally do, or feels like something has changed, it’s worth having a conversation with your GP or gynaecologist 💜

Thanks for explaining 🫶

What surgery does equate to chopsticks? Laparoscopy, and it’s what makes it so minimally invasive 😌🥢

Laparoscopy can be used for both diagnosis and treatment, all through small keyhole incisions in the abdomen. It may help diagnose conditions like endometriosis and ovarian cysts, while also allowing treatment to be performed at the same time if needed.

Procedures performed laparoscopically can include:

👉 treatment of endometriosis
👉 removal of cysts of tumours in the abdomen
👉 assessment of fertility concerns
👉 treatment of scar tissue removal
👉 even hysterectomy procedures in some cases

At Create Health, we’re proud to have a team of gynaecological surgeons highly trained in advanced laparoscopic surgery, combining minimally invasive techniques with complex surgical expertise to support better outcomes and recovery for our patients ✨

Surgery can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re already navigating symptoms like pain, fatigue, uncertainty or years of not feeling heard.

At Create Health, our team of experienced laparoscopic surgeons work closely with women experiencing endometriosis, adenomyosis, fibroids and pelvic pain, helping them understand their options and feel supported through every stage of care.

For , reassurance starts long before the operating theatre. It’s about creating space for questions, understanding what’s making someone feel nervous and making sure surgery feels like the right decision for them and in their timing🤍

If you’ve been putting off your cervical screening test, you’re not alone. For some people, it can feel uncomfortable, anxiety-provoking or simply hard to prioritise 🤍

Did you know you can now do it at home? Dr Sangeeta Ramanan, Create Health gynaecologist, explains how HPV self-collection testing works and what to expect.

At Create Health, we offer HPV self-collection testing for eligible patients. The test can be done privately and is just as effective at detecting HPV as a clinician-collected sample.

One important thing to know: while the self-test checks for HPV, it doesn’t assess cervical cells. If HPV is detected, you may still need a follow-up cervical screening test with your healthcare provider.

PCOS has officially been renamed PMOS: Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome 🙌

And for many people, this change matters. For years, the name ‘polycystic ovarian syndrome’ caused confusion because the condition isn’t actually defined by ovarian cysts. PMOS better reflects what’s really happening, which is a complex condition involving hormones, metabolism, insulin resistance, menstrual cycles and sometimes fertility.

It’s also a reminder that managing PMOS often requires more than one type of support. Care can involve your GP, gynaecologist, endocrinologist, dietitian or nutritionist, psychologist and fertility specialist depending on your symptoms and goals.

Most importantly, we hope this shift helps people feel validated and helps them understand themselves better 🤍

Happy Mother’s Day 🌸 Today can look different for everyone. Whether you’re celebrating or simply getting through it, we’re thinking of you.

It’s also a good reminder that mums take on a lot and their health and wellbeing deserves attention too, at every stage of life. Some women spend years:

💫 deprioritising their own health concerns
💫 taking on a mental load that can often feel too heavy to hold
💫 managing fluctuating hormones throughout their cycles
💫 experiencing menopausal symptoms in silence

So, what do you, your mum or a mum in your life need this Mother’s Day?

Did you know endometriosis doesn’t automatically mean surgery? As explains, most people start with medical and holistic management.

Surgery is usually considered if pain isn’t improving, or if fertility is the priority and hormonal treatment isn’t suitable.

It depends on what’s going on in your body. Understanding where things stand with a health professional is a good place to begin.

Still calling it a Pap smear? You’re not alone. Cervical screening in Australia has changed, and many people are still using the old name.

Since 2017, screening has moved to the HPV cervical screening test. This test looks for the human papillomavirus, which can lead to cervical cancer. It often identifies risk earlier, before any cell changes develop.

For most people aged 25 to 74, a negative result means screening is recommended every five years. That can feel like a small shift, though it reflects how sensitive the test is.

If you’ve been putting it off, there are now more ways to do the test. This includes self-collection through your healthcare provider, which some people find more comfortable.

When in your cycle do you feel hungriest? 🤤

It’s often the second half, before your period, when progesterone rises and your body your body may use slightly more energy. For some, that shows up as a bigger appetite or stronger cravings. Stress can make this feel more noticeable too. These patterns are part of how your body works.

If hunger feels unpredictable or hard to manage, it can help to look at the timing. Adding protein and fibre alongside carbohydrates is one way to support steadier energy and fullness.

You don’t need to change everything at once. Understanding your cycle can give you a clearer starting point.
