What is the effect of lack of sleep on gynaecological health?
The majority of women will struggle at some point in their reproductive lives with issues that are annoying and repetitive. For some it will be menstrual pain and heavy periods, for others it will be premenstrual syndrome. Many women will find various challenges around day to day life during menopause. And let’s not forget pregnancy and the postnatal months with a new baby.
A key simple strategy to help deal with these phases is simply getting enough sleep.
Sleep is restorative for every system in the body and particularly the brain.
During sleep, the body's repair and immune systems go to work repairing the previous day's wear and tear. Chronic lack of sleep affects mood adversely and may lead to depression. And plenty of research suggests lack of sleep is bad for the cardiovascular (heart) system.
Don’t ignore any ongoing poor sleep: it isn’t normal.
Physical illness and chronic depression can cause insomnia: both of these are common, potentially dangerous and need to be treated, or things will simply get worse.
Please see your general practitioner and evaluate what is happening in your life that has led to insomnia. There are many strategies that will help.
Perimenopause doesn't have to be a difficult time for you. If you think you have started perimenopause, whatever your age, book an appointment to discuss your symptoms and to ask any questions you may have. Call the team on 9415 9088,
After the birth of your baby, you may like to discuss your options for contraception. There are different options available to you. Many women find an IUD, often called a Mirena or Kyleena, the best choice for them. If you know you are having a caesarean section, you can discuss with your obstetrician if you would like to have an IUD inserted during this time. This can be a convenient option for many women.
