Lower back pain is a common ovarian cancer symptom.

OVARIAN CANCER

1 New Zealander dies from it every 48 hours.

On average only 4 out of 10 diagnosed with ovarian cancer will survive five years after diagnosis. This compares to 9 in 10 women surviving breast cancer in the same period, we need to ensure that this statistics for ovarian make the amazing progress that breast has.

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

Viva la Vulva Revolution! Normal, normal, normal,

Viva la Vulva Revolution! Normal, normal, normal, normal....you get the drift 💗

Read on for signs and symptoms of vulval cancer.

Cancer of the vulva occurs on the outer surface area of the genitalia. The vulva includes the opening of the vagina (sometimes called the vestibule), the labia majora (outer lips), the labia minora (inner lips), the clitoris and the Bartholin’s glands (two small glands on either side of the vagina The Bartholin glands are found just inside the opening of the vagina — one on each side. These glands produce a mucus-like fluid that acts as a lubricant during sex.

Cancer of the vulva most often affects the inner edges of the labia majora or the labia minora. It starts in the clitoris or in the Bartholin glands less often. Vulval cancer commonly presents itself as a lump or sore on the vulva that often causes itching.

Signs and symptoms may include:

a recurring/persistent itch in the vulva

pain or tenderness in the vulva

thickened, raised, red, white or dark patches on the skin of the vulva

a lump or wart-like growth on the vulva

bleeding from the vulva or blood-stained vaginal discharge between periods, an open sore or growth visible on the skin

a burning pain when passing urine

a mole on the vulva that changes shape or colour

swelling

@periodnirvana
CAN A TAMPON OR MENSTRUAL CUP GET LOST INSIDE YOU?

Definitely not. The top end of your vaginal canal is a dead end.

If you have a high cervix you may end up having trouble reaching your cup but just know it’s not floating around in your body. It only has one place to go and that’s down then out.

Try relaxing the muscles and squatting to retrieve your tampon or cup if it’s hard to reach, bearing down on your muscles can also help get it out if the lil suckers got wedged up a little higher than normal.

BOOK ALERT!!!! A landmark book on menopause by T

BOOK ALERT!!!!

A landmark book on menopause by The New York Times bestselling author of The Vagina Bible and everyone's favourite gynaecologist, Dr Jen Gunter.

The only thing predictable about menopause is its unpredictability. Factor in widespread misinformation, a lack of research, and the culture of shame around women's bodies, and it's no wonder women are unsure what to expect during the menopause transition and beyond.

Menopause is not a disease - it's a planned change, like puberty. And just like puberty, we should be educated on what's to come years in advance, rather than the current practice of leaving people on their own with bothersome symptoms and too much conflicting information. Knowing what is happening, why and what to do about it is both empowering and reassuring.

Frank and funny, Dr Jen debunks misogynistic attitudes and challenges the over-mystification of menopause to reveal everything you really need to know about:

• Perimenopause

• Hot flashes

• Sleep disruption

• Sex and libido

• Depression and mood changes

• Skin and hair issues

• Outdated therapies

• Breast health

• Weight and muscle mass

• Health maintenance screening

• And much more

Filled with practical, reassuring information, this essential guide will revolutionise how women experience menopause - including how our lives can be even better for it!

We got ours in the post this week🍑
