🚨#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 @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

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
#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
This is not a drill!! This #peerreviewed.
