Shaved? Waxed? Everything perfectly washed and prepared?

Nope. Come as you are.

Dr Fidan explains that thereโ€™s no need to change how you normally present yourself before a gynaecology consultation. In fact, depending on your symptoms, trying to โ€œprepareโ€ can sometimes make it harder to assess the problem.

For example, if youโ€™re coming because of a vulval skin problem, itโ€™s important for the doctor to see the skin as it normally is.

And if vaginal discharge is your concern, donโ€™t wash it away just before your appointment. The discharge itself can be important when assessing your symptoms and taking the appropriate swabs.

The most useful preparation? Know what symptoms youโ€™ve been experiencing and when they started. Writing them down beforehand can also help you remember everything you want to discuss.

And at the end of your consultation, you should know exactly what was found, what it means and what happens next.

No need to impress your gynaecologist. Just come as you are. โค๏ธ

If you spend most of your working day sitting, you might think you need to find the โ€œperfectโ€ posture. But constantly trying to sit perfectly isnโ€™t necessarily the answer.

Movement is.

One simple way to break up long periods of sitting is the sit-to-stand exercise, which Piotr, our Physiotherapist, demonstrates in this reel.

And it really is simple:

No equipment. No gym. No complicated routine.

Just get up from your chair and sit back down, focusing on moving from your hips rather than putting the movement through your knees, while engaging your glutes, quads and back.

It takes seconds, but it gives your body a much-needed break from sitting.

Try it during your next desk break โ€” and send this to someone who has been sitting at their desk all day. ๐Ÿ‘€

If youโ€™re experiencing persistent pain or have concerns about your movement, speak to a physiotherapy professional for personalised advice.

๐ŸŒ‘ Planning to watch the solar eclipse? Protect your eyes.

A solar eclipse is an incredible sight, but looking directly at the Sun without proper eye protection can cause serious and potentially permanent damage to your vision.

If youโ€™re planning to watch:

โœ” Wear eclipse glasses or a handheld solar viewer that meets the ISO 12312-2 safety standard
โœ” Check your glasses or viewer for damage before use
โœ” Supervise children closely
โœ˜ Donโ€™t use sunglasses, smartphone cameras or other unsafe filters
โœ˜ Never look at the Sun through an unfiltered camera or telescope

If you notice any changes in your vision after viewing the eclipse, seek advice from an eye care professional.

Guidance: UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA)
