Let’s Talk About Menstrual Problems

Heavy bleeding, painful cycles, irregular periods, or bleeding after menopause — these are some of the most common gynaecological concerns women face. In fact, menstrual problems are the number one issue many women seek care for.

The reasons can vary. Sometimes the cause is hormonal, other times it’s related to a physical (mechanical) issue. That’s why getting the right diagnosis is so important. A thorough history and proper investigation are the first steps to finding the right treatment and relief.

If you’d like to learn more about what might be behind your symptoms and the treatment options available, you’ll find detailed information on my website (link in bio). Head to the Gynaecology tab, click on Conditions We Treat, and you’ll see Menstrual Problems and Treatments listed first.

You’ll also find our online GP referral form there. A simple step toward getting the support and care you deserve.

The clocks are shifting, and for many families, that also means shifting sleep routines.

Babies and young children often feel the change more than adults, so a gentle approach can help. Instead of making the jump all at once, try nudging naps and bedtimes a little earlier each day until everyone feels settled. Remember, there’s no rush so taking it slow is sometimes the smoothest path for you and your little one.

There’s nothing quite like that very first smile from your baby. The one that makes your heart stop for just a second. Do you remember where you were, or what you were doing, when it happened? We’d love for you to share your story in the comments. And if you’ve captured that moment in a photo, tag us so we can smile along with you.

Happy World Smile Day to you and your little ones! 💛

Pregnancy isn’t just a physical journey, your emotional wellbeing matters just as much.

It’s not uncommon to feel overwhelmed, anxious, or even low during this time. In fact, anxiety and depression affect around one in five new mums and one in ten new dads during pregnancy, birth, and the months after.

If you’ve been feeling this way, you’re not alone – and you don’t have to go through it without support. We can talk about how you’re feeling at your next appointment so we can connect you with the right help and resources.

There’s something truly special about watching your little one develop at each visit. When you choose private care, your scans start from around 8–10 weeks, giving you that first glimpse of your baby early on. Many parents say it’s the part of the appointment they look forward to the most.

You’ll continue to have scans throughout your pregnancy, including detailed checks at around 13 and 20 weeks, so you can feel confident that your baby is growing well. It’s a wonderful way to stay connected and reassured at every stage.

If you’re curious or have questions about the scans, let’s talk at your next appointment — I’m here to guide you through every step.

Gynaecological cancers may not be talked about as often as other conditions, but awareness and early detection can save lives. Many of these cancers are difficult to detect in their early stages, which makes it all the more important to pay attention to any changes in your body.

Possible symptoms can include:
🌸 Unusual vaginal bleeding – between periods, after menopause, or during/after in*******se
🌸 Abdominal or pelvic pain
🌸 Unexplained weight loss
🌸 Difficulty urinating or blood in the urine
🌸 Changes in how often you urinate or move your bowels

If you notice anything unusual or concerning, please arrange an appointment with your GP or with me. Your health and peace of mind are worth it.
