💙 4 March – International HPV Awareness Day

HPV is common.
Silence around it is even more common.

Some high-risk types of HPV can lead to cervical cancer — often without early symptoms.

Here’s what matters:

Cervical cancer is largely preventable.
Prevention is not dramatic — it’s powerful.

💙 What protection looks like:

* HPV vaccination before exposure
* Regular cervical screening (Pap smears)
* Following up on abnormal results
* Open conversations about reproductive health

The HPV vaccine is not a trend.
It’s long-studied, evidence-based protection.

Screening protects your future.
Prevention may be quiet — but it saves lives every day.

📌 Save this as your reminder.
📤 Share it — awareness protects communities.

💙 Every Baby Deserves the Healthiest Start

Today we observe World Birth Defects Day — a global reminder of the importance of prevention, early screening, and compassionate support.

Birth defects (also called congenital conditions) can affect a baby’s structure or function before birth. Some are mild. Others require medical care or long-term support.

💙 What matters most is awareness and early action.

✔ Attend regular antenatal visits
✔ Take folic acid before and during early pregnancy
✔ Manage chronic conditions (like diabetes or hypertension)
✔ Avoid alcohol and harmful substances during pregnancy
✔ Access recommended prenatal screening tests

Early screening helps families prepare, access care early, and improve outcomes.

Let us continue building a world where every mother is supported and every child has the best possible start.

💙 If you are pregnant or planning a pregnancy, speak to Dr Makhanya about screening options.

Could It Be Endometriosis?😭

If your period pain makes you cancel plans, this post is for you.

Painful periods are often dismissed as “normal.”
But severe, life-disrupting pain is not something you should simply endure.

It could be endometriosis — a condition affecting millions of women during their reproductive years.

💛 Common symptoms:
• Severe period pain
• Chronic pelvic pain
• Pain during in*******se
• Heavy menstrual bleeding
• Fatigue
• Difficulty falling pregnant

Many women wait years before receiving a diagnosis.

If this sounds like you, don’t ignore it.
Early consultation can improve management and quality of life.

You deserve to be heard.
You deserve answers.
You deserve proper care.

💛 Comment below if you’ve ever been told “it’s just cramps.”

1 March – Endometriosis Awareness Day 💛

Today we stand in support of millions of women and girls living with endometriosis — a painful and often misunderstood condition that affects daily life, fertility, mental health, and overall wellbeing.

Endometriosis is not “just bad period pain.” It is real. It is chronic. And it deserves awareness, early diagnosis, and compassionate care.

Let’s:
💛 Break the silence
💛 Believe women when they speak about their pain
💛 Encourage early medical consultation
💛 Advocate for better research and support

This March, wear yellow to show solidarity and help spread awareness. Together, we can turn pain into power through education and empathy.

28 February 2026 | 💜 Rare Disease Day

Some women face rare genetic conditions during pregnancy that can affect both mother and baby. These conditions are uncommon, but they matter — from unusual pregnancy complications to inherited disorders.

Today, we raise awareness, support research, and stand with every mom-to-be navigating these rare challenges. Knowledge and care can make all the difference.

🌸 Postpartum Care Beyond Delivery

“Care does not end after birth.”

After delivery, the attention shifts to the baby — but the mother still needs medical care.

The first 6 weeks (and beyond) are a critical recovery period.

✔ The 6-Week Postnatal Check

This visit helps your Dr Makhanya to:
* Check healing after vaginal or Caesarean delivery
* Monitor blood pressure and bleeding
* Detect infections or complications
* Support breastfeeding
* Discuss menstrual return

It’s not optional — it protects your health.

💪 Pelvic Floor Recovery

Pregnancy and childbirth weaken pelvic muscles, which can lead to:
* Urinary leakage, Pelvic pressure, Pain during in*******se

Early exercises and assessment prevent long-term issues.
🧠 Mental Health Matters

Postpartum depression and anxiety are common and treatable.
Persistent sadness or feeling overwhelmed should never be ignored.

🌿 Contraception After Delivery

Ovulation can return before your first period
