HPV is more common than you might think, and understanding it matters.

HPV (human papillomavirus) is a very common virus that most people will be exposed to at some point in their lives. In many cases, it causes no symptoms and clears on its own, but some types can lead to cervical cell changes if left unchecked.

Regular cervical screening and staying informed are key to protecting your long-term health. If you have questions about HPV or your screening schedule, the team at Northside Gynaecology is here to help. 💙

Luteal Phase. Hiding behind the second half of your menstrual cycle (after ovulation, before your period). During this phase the body, mainly via progesterone, thickens the uterine lining preparing for potential pregnancy. Hormonal shifts cause symptoms like mood swings, bloating, and cravings (PMS), ending with menstruation to restart the cycle. If you experience extreme mood swings and menstrual symptoms that impact your daily life, talk to your doctor about possible treatment options that are right for you or visit the link in our bio to find out more!
