🧠🍷 New research from Stellenbosch University reveals important findings about alcohol and pregnancy.

While we’ve long known that a mother’s drinking during pregnancy can cause Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD), new evidence shows a father’s drinking habits also play a role.

According to the study, children whose fathers drank during their partner’s pregnancy were more likely to be shorter, have smaller head sizes, and lower verbal IQ scores — with the highest risk when both parents consumed alcohol.

💜 A story of strength, hope, and the miracle of tiny beginnings. 💜

In honour of World Prematurity Day, we celebrate one of our incredible little fighters — Baby Zayd Harnekar.

Born on 24 November 2024, weighing just 950g, Zayd showed us what true courage looks like.
After 86 days in the neonatal unit, he was discharged on 18 February 2025, healthy, strong, and ready to go home. 🌟

Preemies remind us that size does not measure strength — their spirits are powerful, their journeys sacred, and their milestones extraordinary.

To Baby Zayd and his amazing parents: your resilience, faith, and love have touched all of us. 💛

Doctor Goals! When your name gets scribbled on a theatre bed because it is the only bed in the theatre that can accomodate your height.... or lack thereof. 😅
Small surgeons, small hands, small cuts, low beds — precision comes in compact form. 💪🏽

🌸 Endometriosis breakthrough 🌸

For decades, women have waited years for an endometriosis diagnosis — often enduring pain, uncertainty, and frustration along the way.

A new diagnostic method could soon change that. Researchers have found a way to identify endometriosis using cells from menstrual blood, potentially reducing the diagnostic wait from years to just weeks.

This innovation could help millions of women receive answers sooner and explore treatment options earlier — without the need for invasive procedures like laparoscopy.

Every step forward in women’s health matters. 💛

💛 To every mom who struggled silently after birth…

Postpartum isn’t always soft and glowing — for many women, it’s a season filled with overwhelm, self-doubt, anxiety, and emotions they never expected.
If you could go back and hug that version of yourself, you would… because she was doing her absolute best while fighting battles no one else could see.

Postpartum mental health matters.
Your feelings are valid.
You are not alone.
And you never deserved to carry that weight by yourself.

Here’s your reminder:
You are strong.
You are enough.
And support is always available. 💛

The Use of Mesh in Prolapse Surgery

Pelvic organ prolapse occurs when the pelvic floor muscles and tissues weaken, allowing the bladder, uterus, or re**um to descend into the va**nal canal.

Mesh can be used surgically to support these organs and restore anatomy — but its use has become one of the most debated topics in gynaecology.

While modern, regulated meshes like DynaMesh® are designed for improved safety and biocompatibility, past misuse and inadequate patient selection led to complications and controversy.

Today, we emphasise:
🔹 Careful patient selection
🔹 Use of specialised, trained surgeons
🔹 Thorough discussion of risks and alternatives
🔹 Prioritising informed consent and patient autonomy

The goal is always the same — to improve quality of life, safely and ethically.

No matter how many births we witness, this moment never loses its magic.
The strength of a mother, the teamwork in the theatre, and the miracle of new life coming into the world — it’s awe-inspiring every single time. 💗

Every birth tells its own story — unique, raw, and beautiful in its own way.

So much happens in these few seconds: relief, emotion, gratitude, and love — all wrapped into one unforgettable moment.

This is what a postmenopausal o***y and fallopian tube look like.

After menopause, the ovaries become smaller and their function changes — they no longer release eggs or produce significant amounts of estrogen and progesterone. The fallopian tubes, which once carried eggs from the o***y to the uterus, also undergo changes and often become thinner and less active.

Understanding these anatomical changes helps guide decisions in women’s health — from managing postmenopausal symptoms to assessing risks for ovarian and fallopian tube pathology. 💛

✨ The Miracle (and Mechanics) of Birth ✨

This illustration captures one of the most incredible moments in medicine — the baby’s head descending through the birth canal during labour.

Childbirth is a powerful combination of strength, anatomy, and instinct. The muscles, ligaments, and bones of the pelvis work together to guide new life into the world — a process both precise and awe-inspiring.

Every birth looks different, but each one reflects courage, resilience, and the extraordinary design of the human body. 💗

This is what a cervix looks like.

It’s small, but incredibly important. The cervix is the lower part of the uterus that connects to the va**na — and it’s where we take a Pap smear (or cervical screening test).

This simple test can detect early changes in cervical cells before they become cancerous — helping to prevent cervical cancer entirely. 💗

A few minutes could save your life. If you’re due for your screening, don’t delay — book your appointment today.
