Breakthrough in Genetic Medicine!

You may have seen the news this week that scientists have successfully used DNA from three different people to prevent a hereditary disease, marking a major milestone in genetic research and therapy.

The method, pioneered by UK scientists, combines the egg and s***m from a mum and dad with a second egg from a donor woman.

This innovative approach could pave the way for new treatments for genetic disorders that were once considered untreatable.

Being Aware of Ovarian Cancer Symptoms

Ovarian cancer is often called the "silent killer" because its symptoms can be subtle and easily mistaken for less serious conditions. Early detection is crucial for effective treatment and better outcomes.

Signs to watch out for include, Persistent bloating, Abdominal or pelvic pain,

difficulty eating or feeling full quickly, urinary changes such as needing to urinate more often and/or unexplained fatigue or weight loss.

If you notice any of these symptoms that persist for more than a few weeks, it’s important to consult your GP or gynaecologist promptly. Being informed and proactive can make all the difference.

Can the Contraceptive Pill Affect How Your Body Handles Alcohol?

Many women wonder if taking the contraceptive pill can change how alcohol affects them. The truth is, hormonal birth control can influence your body's metabolism, potentially making you feel the effects of alcohol more quickly or intensely. This is because certain hormones can impact how your liver processes alcohol, leading to a higher blood alcohol concentration even if you've consumed the same amount as usual.

It's important to be aware of these effects to stay safe and make informed choices. If you're unsure or have questions about your contraception options and how they interact with lifestyle factors like alcohol, speak to your GP or one of our clinicians who can provide personalised advice.

Fibroids Awareness Month: July 2025

June is Fibroids Awareness Month is a vital time to shine a light on a condition that affects up to 80% of women by age 50, yet remains misunderstood and often overlooked. Uterine fibroids are non-cancerous growths that develop in or on the uterus, and while many women experience no symptoms, for others, fibroids can cause heavy bleeding, pelvic pain, pressure and even impact fertility.

This month, we’re committed to raising awareness, dispelling myths, and encouraging women to seek the support and treatment they deserve. Early diagnosis and tailored management options can significantly improve quality of life. It’s time to break the stigma, promote open conversations and empower women with knowledge about fibroids.

If you or someone you know is experiencing symptoms, don’t hesitate to speak to a healthcare professional. Together, we can ensure that fibroids are no longer a silent struggle but a condition that is understood, managed and treated with compassion.

Reason for Egg Freezing for Women with PCOS

Women with Polycystic O***y Syndrome (PCOS) often face unique challenges when it comes to fertility. While PCOS is a common condition characterised by irregular periods and hormonal imbalance, it can also make conception more difficult and unpredictable over time.

For women with PCOS, egg freezing can be a valuable option to preserve fertility for the future. Since pregnancy might become more complicated as they age or if ovarian function changes, freezing eggs early offers a way to keep options open and reduce stress about future family planning.

If you're living with PCOS and considering your fertility options, it’s important to get a thorough fertility health check. This helps you understand your ovarian reserve and plan ahead.
