A free-to-attend online event about disparities in IVF outcomes, and experiences of fertility treatment, between people with different ethnic backgrounds.

The event will explore why some patients fare better than others, and what can be done about it. Aspects discussed will include data on ethnic diversity in fertility treatment published by the UK’s fertility regulator, the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority.

The event will be chaired by Sarah Norcross, with speakers including Baroness Geeta Nargund, Dr Patricia Hamilton, Professor Asif Muneer, Jonathan Luwagga, Dr Edmond Edi-Osagie and Yvonne John.

This event is produced by the Progress Educational Trust (PET), and is supported by IBSA.

The assumption that Natural fertility is everyone’s right and easily navigated, could not be further from the truth. That landscape is fraught with twists and turns and whilst easily navigable for some, can be a nightmare and source of profound pain for many others. We will be exploring the issues at play, from the impact of natural events like aging, to unnatural ones like environmental, dietary and medical influences, and lifestyle factors. We will explore how we can better navigate this journey and what help is available. Please join us.

Polycystic o***y syndrome (PCOS) is the most common cause of the absence of ovulation. It results from an inappropriate release of hormones from a gland in the brain and is associated with the absence of ovulation, absent or irregular menstrual periods and abnormal female hormone levels. Women who are affected are often overweight and have raised blood levels of male-type hormones, leading to excessive growth of facial and body hair, oily skin and acne.

Conditions that make women more likely to manifest PCOS include excessive blood levels of prolactin, low and high levels of thyroid hormone, stress, anxiety, extreme physical exertion (as with athletes), profound weight loss or gain (greater than 15% of body weight), anorexia, and serious illness. The condition appears to run in some families. Women with PCOS have a higher risk of miscarriage. It predisposes to development of diabetes and hypertension in later life and increased risk of pre-cancers of the lining of the womb and breasts.

Abnormal menstruation is probably the most common reason women consult a gynaecologist.

Menstrual problems are varied and impact on women differently, depending on their age, culture, family circumstances, personality and work pattern.

Many women will delay consulting a gynaecologist until the problem worsens, feeling that they should be able to manage. However, menstrual problems can become severely debilitating if left unchecked, and may indicate other health issues such as endometriosis, which can affect fertility. An irregular period cycle may not in itself be a problem, but could be an indicator of further menstrual cycle problems. Early detection can be the key to effective treatment and we recommend consulting a gynaecologist if you have any concerns. 
 
Common Menstrual Problems We Treat Include:
 
* Absent periods
* Scanty periods
* Irregular period cycle
* Heavy periods
* Continuous vaginal bleeding
* Painful periods
* Premenstrual syndrome (PMS)
* Bleeding in-between periods
* Bleeding after s*x
 
We provide a comprehensive range of investigations and menstrual problems solutions, mostly as outpatient procedures for your convenience and flexibility.

We also provide the full range of treatment options including:

* Counselling
* Hormonal treatment
* Medical treatment
* Surgical treatment (mostly keyhole surgery)

If you are concerned about an irregular period cycle, heavy flow, pain, or any other menstrual cycle problems, please feel free to contact our friendly team for more information. Contact information is in our bio.

Every November, the fertility community comes together to put the focus firmly on fertility. Fertility Week seeks to change perceptions, provide support and raise funds for everyone struggling with fertility issues.

Not being able to have the family you yearn for can be a traumatic and incredibly isolating experience. Far too often people struggle in silence with fertility issues but together – sharing stories and experiences – we can change perceptions, provide support and raise funds to help others. We are stronger together.

Fertility Week is a chance to challenge the taboos and myths around infertility and raise awareness of the devastating physical, emotional and social impact fertility problems wreak.

How Do We Investigate Uterine Fibroids?
The symptoms of fibroids can vary quite significantly, depending on a number of factors. Some women have no symptoms, others may experience heavy periods, bleeding between periods, painful s*x, and/or lower back pain.

Taking a detailed history and abdominal/pelvic examination coupled with pelvic ultrasound scan is the main way of diagnosing fibroids. We check blood count to exclude anaemia. It is occasionally necessary to perform an MRI scan in situations where an ultrasound is not clear. Occasionally, additional investigations are warranted, to rule out other conditions.

How Do We Treat Uterine Fibroids?
There are several options for treating fibroids depending on the woman’s age, symptoms, reproductive expectations and state of health, but also the number, size and locations of the fibroids.

Medical Measures
The pain associated with fibroids can be managed with painkillers and heavy menstrual bleeding can be reduced by other drugs. The size of (and symptoms of fibroids) can be reduced by drugs that temporarily suppress ovarian function. All these measures provide temporary relief but all interfere with fertility.
 
Myomectomy
Hysterectomy
Uterine artery embolisation (UAE)
Radio-frequency ablation of fibroids
Complimentary Therapies

Uterine fibroids sound scary but they’re actually common, completely benign (non-cancerous) growths of the womb.

We believe they affect more than 50% of all women at some stage in life.

They are more common in older women and those who have never had children. Fibroids are also more common in certain ethnic groups particularly women of African descent. They also tend run in some families, suggesting a genetic influence.
 
Problems Of Uterine Fibroids:

* Heavy menstrual periods
* Pelvic pain
* Abdominal swelling
* Pressure on other organs, including the bladder, ureter and re**um
* Infertility
* Cancer (rare)
