Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause (GSM) is common, but far too often overlooked.

Around 70% of women experience symptoms of GSM, yet only a small proportion receive treatment.

When oestrogen levels fall, symptoms can include:

✨ Vaginal dryness
✨ Vulval itching or burning
✨ Pain when passing urine
✨ Increased urinary frequency
✨ Recurrent urinary tract infections
✨ Vaginal discharge
✨ Pain during in*******se

For many women, vaginal or vulval oestrogen is an effective first-line treatment. However, some women are unable to use, or prefer not to use, hormonal treatments.

That’s why I’m excited about a new treatment option.

Hyaluxelle® is an advanced, non-hormonal hyaluronic acid treatment developed by IBSA. It is designed to restore hydration, comfort and elasticity to vulvovaginal tissues, helping to relieve symptoms associated with GSM.

I’m delighted to be travelling to Milan to undertake specialist training so that I can offer this innovative treatment at The Alchemy Clinic.

Watch this space for more information coming soon… ✨

It’s time to change the question.

As medical professionals, we often ask people, “How much exercise do you do?”
We know movement is important, and encouraging healthy habits matters — but honestly, whenever I’ve been asked that question, I’ve often felt guilty.

I find myself mumbling about walking my daughter to school or taking the dog out, while thinking about all the “proper exercise” I haven’t done. No gym sessions. No runs. Just another thing on the to-do list that hasn’t been ticked off.

But what if we changed the question to:
✨ “How active are you during the day?”
✨ “Are there small ways you could move a little more?”

Suddenly, it feels more achievable. Less pressure. Less guilt.

Of course it’s wonderful if you regularly get to the gym — but it’s also wonderful to:
• take the stairs instead of the lift
• park a little further away
• do heel raises while brushing your teeth
• add an extra 10 minutes to the dog walk
• stand up and stretch between tasks

Movement doesn’t have to be perfect to matter. Small changes count too.

So instead of aiming for perfection, let’s aim to be a little more active every day ☺️

Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is now being referred to as polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome (PMOS) — but why does a name change matter?

On a personal note, I have PMOS.
For me, this has meant unpredictable periods, struggles with weight and acne throughout adult life, miscarriages, gestational diabetes in 2 of my 3 pregnancies, and now an increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

On a professional level, I hope this change helps patients better understand what this condition really is.

I spend a lot of time explaining to patients that “polycystic ovaries” does not actually mean ovarian cysts. PMOS is far more than irregular periods — it is a complex metabolic and hormonal condition that can affect many aspects of health throughout life.

Too often, people are told the answer is simply “go on the pill,” when in reality this condition deserves a much broader understanding and more personalised support.

A name change may seem small, but it has the potential to improve awareness, understanding, and ultimately access to the right treatment and care.

If you think you may have PMOS, or would like to learn more, make sure you find a doctor who will listen, support you, and help you understand your health.
