Regular gynaecology check-ups are an important part of looking after your long-term health, even when you feel well.

These appointments provide an opportunity to discuss changes in your menstrual cycle, contraception, fertility, pelvic pain, unusual discharge, menopause concerns and any symptoms that may be affecting your daily life. Depending on your age and medical history, your doctor may also recommend screenings such as cervical cancer screening.

Routine check-ups can help identify potential concerns early and ensure that you receive guidance suited to your individual health needs.

Myth: The contraceptive pill causes infertility.

Social media can be a helpful source of support, but not every health claim shared by an influencer is accurate. Some content may be exaggerated, based on personal experience or presented without reliable medical evidence.

The contraceptive pill does not cause infertility. Fertility generally returns after stopping the pill, although the timing can differ between individuals.

Before stopping contraception or making decisions based on something you have seen online, speak to your doctor about your health, concerns and reproductive plans.

For professional guidance, contact Dr Afolayan’s practice:

Gestational diabetes develops during pregnancy when blood sugar levels become higher than normal. It may not always cause noticeable symptoms, which is why routine screening during pregnancy is important.

With appropriate monitoring, nutrition guidance, physical activity and medical care where needed, gestational diabetes can often be managed effectively. Early diagnosis helps support the health of both mother and baby throughout pregnancy.

Speak to Dr Afolayan or your healthcare provider about screening and any concerns you may have:

Labour does not always begin the same way for every woman, but recognising the signs can help you feel more prepared. Regular contractions, your waters breaking, increasing pelvic pressure, and the loss of the mucus plug may all indicate that labour is approaching. If you are unsure about any symptoms, contact your healthcare provider for guidance. 👶💕

Pregnancy cravings are very common and can happen at any stage of pregnancy. Hormonal changes may affect your taste, smell, and appetite, leading to strong cravings for certain foods.

While most cravings are harmless, it is still important to maintain a balanced diet throughout pregnancy. If you experience unusual cravings for non-food items, speak to your doctor for further guidance.

A teenager does not need to wait until there is a serious problem to see a gynaecologist. A first visit is often recommended during the teenage years to discuss menstrual health, reproductive wellness, and any concerns in a safe and supportive environment.

It may be time to book an appointment if there are:
• Very painful periods
• Irregular cycles
• Heavy bleeding
• Questions about puberty or reproductive health

Early education and guidance can help young women feel more confident about their health.
