A vastly underfunded cancer, ultimately resulting

A vastly underfunded cancer, ultimately resulting in minimal advancements in survival statistics, major gaps in public awareness, and a lack of much needed support for those diagnosed.

Help us make a difference, share to raise awareness and donate to make change.

Talk Peach is founded and run by survivors of ovarian cancer.

1 New Zealander dies from ovarian cancer every 48 hours.

Know the signs!! Its imperative you do. ?? WHY

Because there is no screening test for ovarian cancer, early diagnosis is your best chance at survival, a late diagnosis is very hard to beat.

Signs and symptoms:
Persistent bloating
Pelvic/abdominal pain
Fatigue
Back pain
Indigestion
Changes in bowel habits-constipation, diarrhoea, painful bowel movements
Urgency/frequency to pee
Feeling full quickly, difficulty eating
Pain during sex
Menstrual irregularities
Bleeding between periods
Bleeding post menopause

What is abnormal bleeding?
.
A recent British study found that 80% of people with abnormal vaginal bleeding wouldn’t visit a doctor. I wonder what N.Z stats would be?

Vaginal bleeding is a red flag symptom for 3 out of the 5 gynaecological cancers, uterine, cervical and vaginal.

If you notice changes that aren't the norm for you and have persisted for 2 weeks visit your GP. If symptoms progress post this make sure to see them again and seek a 2nd opinion if you feel your concerns aren't acted upon.

Please check out our educational website for more info on the 5 gynaecological cancers.

At Talk Peach we have an extremely important visio

At Talk Peach we have an extremely important vision:

To educate the community on gynaecological health

To educate the community on the signs and symptoms of the 5 gynaecological cancers in order to reduce late diagnosis

To provide information and support to all those diagnosed with gynaecological cancers

To advocate for better funding into: education and awareness, research, clinical trials, access to medications, and better pathways to diagnostic testing

We hope to empower people to take charge of their bodies, break down fears around acting upon gynaecological health issues and seeking help, and open up an urgently needed dialogue.

Please share our message and be part of a much needed awareness

Did you know there were 5 gynaecological cancers?

It's imperative we are talking.

It's time to Talk Peach 🍑🍑🍑🍑🍑

The egg chooses the sperm!!!! We all know the in

The egg chooses the sperm!!!!

We all know the internal reproductive scene: The sperm swims towards the egg, wriggling their fastest to be the first on the scene and fertilise the egg.

Some great research came out of Sweden in 2020 which now turns the traditional "strongest sperm wins" belief on it's head.

This new study sheds some light on what happens when a female egg meets the sperm - and the results are fascinating.

If the egg likes the sperm, it will send it chemical signals that encourage it to swim faster. However, if the egg doesn't like the sperm, the signals it sends then tell the sperm to slow down.

It's the law of attraction at work, with the egg actually flicking off the the sperm it's not interest in.

The study refutes the long-held belief that the strongest, fastest sperm gets the egg.

Researchers from Stockholm University and the Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust found that the egg effectively chooses the sperm it wants, and rejects all the others.

Interestingly the egg appears to preference genetic diversity and may not agree to fertilisation with the partner we have chosen!
.
"The more diverse those genes are, the more diverse are the kinds of infections you can fight. And if your partner has a slightly different combination of these genes than you do, then you're going to produce offspring that can fight an even broader array of pathogens and diseases." explained researcher John Fitzpatrick Associate Professor Stockholm University (2020).
.
So this goes to show that even before conception Mamas are programmed to fight for their baby's survival!

And there ya have it folks! 🤯🤯🤯

Gynaecological health matters! Is it shame and st

Gynaecological health matters!

Is it shame and stigma around gynaecological health that has silenced it for so long?

Please help us educate to break down the taboo stopping potentially life saving conversations, please use your platforms to help us raise awareness.

Please support us so that in time gynaecological cancers too will have the survival stats of other well funded cancers.

Staying silent and lack of support for gynaecological cancers is harming our communities.

Talk Peach is founded and run by survivors, we know all to well the devastating isolation of a gynaecological cancer diagnosis.
