Ovarian cysts are fluid-filled sacs that can develop on the ovaries. Many women may have ovarian cysts at some point in their lives, and in many cases, they cause no symptoms.

However, some women may notice certain signs, including:

• Pelvic pain or discomfort
• A feeling of pressure or fullness in the lower abdomen
• Bloating or abdominal swelling
• Pain during certain activities

Symptoms can vary depending on the size and type of cyst. If you experience persistent pelvic pain, irregular symptoms, or discomfort that concerns you, it is important to seek medical advice.

A consultation can help determine the cause and guide appropriate care if needed.

Understanding ovulation can help you learn more about your menstrual cycle and fertility.

Ovulation is the phase of the cycle when an o***y releases an egg. This egg travels through the fallopian tube, where it may be fertilised. For many women, ovulation occurs about halfway through their menstrual cycle, although the exact timing can vary.

Some women notice physical signs that ovulation is approaching or happening. These may include:

• Clear, stretchy cervical mucus that looks similar to egg whites
• Mild lower abdominal discomfort, sometimes called ovulation pain
• A small increase in basal body temperature after ovulation occurs
• Changes in libido around the fertile window

Tracking these changes can help you understand your cycle better. However, not everyone experiences obvious ovulation symptoms, and cycles can differ from person to person.

If you are trying to conceive or have concerns about irregular cycles, a consultation with Dr Sheetekela can help you better understand your reproductive health.

A healthy pregnancy begins with caring for both your body and your baby’s development.

Maintaining good habits during pregnancy can support your wellbeing and help create a healthy environment for your growing baby. Some important steps include:

• Eating a balanced, nutritious diet
• Attending regular antenatal appointments
• Staying active with safe pregnancy exercises
• Taking recommended prenatal vitamins

Every pregnancy is unique, so regular check-ups with your obstetrician help ensure you and your baby are progressing well.

If you are pregnant or planning a pregnancy, professional guidance can help you navigate each stage with confidence.

Hormonal changes can play a significant role in adult acne.

Fluctuations in hormones can increase oil production in the skin, leading to blocked pores and persistent breakouts, often around the jawline and chin. This is common around menstrual cycles, during pregnancy, or with conditions such as PCOS.

Acne is not always a skincare issue. Sometimes, it is a sign that your hormones need attention.

If breakouts are persistent, painful, or affecting your confidence, a medical assessment can help identify the underlying cause and guide appropriate treatment.

Did you know?
Most cases of cervical cancer are caused by high-risk strains of HPV and can often be prevented or detected early through regular screening.

Cervical screening allows abnormal cell changes to be identified before they become cancerous. It is a simple but powerful step in protecting long-term gynaecological health.

Regular check-ups are not just routine. They are preventative care.

If you are due for a cervical screening or have questions about HPV, speak to your gynaecologist about the right screening plan for you.

Every baby’s story begins long before birth.
On World Birth Defects Day, we recognise the importance of early antenatal care, screening, and ongoing support during pregnancy.

Many birth defects can be identified during pregnancy through routine scans and monitoring, allowing families to receive timely information, care, and guidance.

Awareness leads to earlier detection.
Early care leads to better outcomes.

If you are planning a pregnancy or are currently expecting, regular antenatal check-ups play an essential role in supporting both maternal and baby health.
