Short answer? It can help.. but it’s not a guarantee ☺️

Peeing after s*x is a helpful habit, but it’s one piece of the prevention puzzle, not a foolproof fix.

During in*******se, bacteria (most commonly E.coli) can be pushed toward the urethra.

As such, urinating soon after s*x helps flush bacteria out before it has a chance to travel up to the bladder and cause an infection. In turn, this may lower the risk of contracting a Urinary Tract Infection for some people.

However, what urinating post-in*******se won’t do is sterilise the bladder, prevent all UTIs or help once bacteria has already reached the bladder.

The best practice is to urinate within 15-30 minutes after s*x, stay well hydrated, gently clean the external ge***al area and seek medical advice if UTIs are frequent or persistent.

Meet our wonderful Midwife & Lactation Consultant, Teresa 🤗

Teresa has been a special part of our Belong O&G team for 4 years and while she loves all aspects of her role, she particularly adores being able to help mums through their breastfeeding journey.

Favourite piece of advice for new parents: You will receive lots of different advice once baby is born, but trust your own instincts and do what works for you and your baby.

Where you’ll find Teresa when she’s not at work: Spending time with family, brunch with friends and pilates.

Preparing for surgery? Here’s our simple guide to help you feel organised & supported because a little preparation can make a big difference to your recovery👇🏽

Pre-surgery:
· Follow fasting instructions carefully
· Confirm you are aware of your arrival time, check-in location + paperwork
· Shower as instructed removing makeup and jewellery
· Pack your essentials – ID, Medicare/private health card, comfortable clothes, phone charger

Getting to/from hospital:
· Arrive on time for admissions and pre-op checks
· Advise work, school or carers that you will be unavailable
· Have a responsible adult take you to hospital and collect you

Post Surgery:
· Have a trusted adult to stay with you at home for the first 24 hours
· Avoid driving, alcohol and important decision making during this time
· Fill your post-surgery prescriptions as soon as possible

Care at Home:
· Set up a recovery space with pillows, water, medications & easy meals
· Follow the pain relief and wound care instructions exactly as they are prescribed
· Rest - your body needs time to heal

Support Matters:
· Ask for help with meals, children, pets or errands – don’t be too proud
· Don’t rush recovery & make sure you listen to your body
· Contact your care team if something doesn’t feel right

Remember, preparing ahead will help you focus on what matters most and that is healing ❤️‍🩹

Did you know that contraception can (and should) change across different stages of life?

What may suit your body and needs at one point may not be the best fit later on, depending on your hormones, health, family plans and lifestyle.

While every person is different and requires decisions made on their individual circumstances, we’ve compiled a general breakdown based on age and the options that may be suitable.

Swipe 👉🏽for your age bracket and always remember, a discussion with your GP or Belong O&G doctor is the best way to find what works for you right now 🫶🏽

Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month is observed during February and provides an opportunity to highlight the disease that sees approximately 1,815 women per year diagnosed in Australia.

While there is often no obvious sign of ovarian cancer, knowing the risk factors as well as the protective factors can help with awareness and early conversations with your doctor.

Risk Factors -
· Family history of ovarian, breast or colorectal cancer
· Inherited gene mutations (BRCA1 & BRCA2)
· Increasing age
· Endometriosis
· Never having been pregnant
· Hormone replacement therapy (long-term use)

Protective factors -
· Pregnancy and breastfeeding
· Oral contraceptive pill use
· Previous removal of the tubes or ovaries
· Maintaining a healthy lifestyle
· Regular check-ins with your GP, especially if you have family history

If you have any questions or concerns we encourage you to speak with your Belong O&G doctor 💟

Why does nutrition matter when it comes to hormone balance - especially if you have PCOS or irregular cycles?

Your hormones are deeply connected to the way you nourish your body. For women with PCOS or irregular periods, nutrition plays a powerful role in supporting more stable cycles, reducing symptoms and improving overall wellbeing.

Here’s how:

· Supports blood sugar regulation
· Helps reduce inflammation
· Supports healthy ovulation
· Can improve energy, mood and sleep
· Helps support a healthy weight range
· Sets the foundation for fertility

Nutrition can’t “fix” hormones overnight, but it can create the conditions your body needs to regulate them more smoothly.

For women with PCOS or irregular periods, eating regular, balanced meals is one of the most effective and empowering steps you can take for your hormonal health.

To learn more or to discuss your individual needs, we suggest making an appointment with your GP or Belong O&G doctor. If appropriate, we can help connect you with dietician who specialises in women’s health.
