Did you know?πŸ’‘

A woman's pelvic floor muscles support the bladder, uterus, and bowel. Pregnancy, childbirth, ageing, and even chronic coughing can place extra strain on these muscles over time.

When the pelvic floor becomes weaker, some women may experience symptoms such as urine leakage when coughing or sneezing, a feeling of heaviness in the pelvis, or difficulty controlling their bladder.

Pelvic floor health is an important part of overall wellbeing and is something that should not be ignored.

If you have noticed any of these symptoms, it may be worth discussing them with a healthcare professional.

Hot flushes and night sweats can be frustrating, especially when they affect your sleep and daily routine.πŸ”₯

These symptoms are common during perimenopause and menopause, as changing hormone levels can affect the body's temperature regulation. While they are common, that does not mean you have to simply live with them.

Simple lifestyle changes, such as dressing in layers, keeping your bedroom cool, staying hydrated, and identifying triggers like caffeine or spicy foods, may help reduce symptoms.

If hot flushes and night sweats are affecting your quality of life, it may be time to speak to a healthcare professional about your options.

Understanding your fertility window can be helpful whether you are planning a pregnancy or simply learning more about your reproductive health.🌸

Ovulation usually occurs around the middle of your menstrual cycle, and the days leading up to ovulation are typically when you are most likely to conceive. However, every woman's cycle is different.

Tracking your cycle, monitoring physical signs such as changes in cervical mucus, and using ovulation prediction tools can help you better understand your body's patterns.

If you have questions about fertility or are struggling to conceive, speaking with a healthcare professional can help you explore the next steps.

Pregnancy can bring about several early signs that can be easily missed. If you’re experiencing missed periods, fatigue, breast tenderness, nausea, or frequent urination, these could be early indicators.

While some of these symptoms may also occur during other conditions, it's important to listen to your body and take note of any changes.

Early symptoms like mild cramping or slight spotting can also happen as your body adjusts. However, if you're ever unsure, reaching out for a consultation can offer clarity and guidance during this exciting (and sometimes confusing) time.

Dr Sheetekela is here to support you every step of the way. Whether it’s confirming a pregnancy or providing ongoing care, your health and peace of mind are our priority.

When planning to start a family, the steps you take before conceiving are just as important as your pregnancy journey. Preconception care involves optimising your health to give your baby the best possible start.

This includes eating a balanced diet, taking prenatal vitamins (especially folic acid), maintaining a healthy weight, and managing any existing medical conditions.

Dr Sheetekela encourages every woman thinking about pregnancy to schedule a preconception consultation to discuss family planning, fertility, and any concerns. Your health today shapes the future of your growing family tomorrow.
