🚨#breakingnews #endometriosis is linked to autoimmune condition such as #rheumatoidarthritis #psoriasis #coeliacdisease #multiplesclerosis #fibromyalgia etc because of a shared #genetic link. So many congratulations to my colleagues Professor Krina Zondervan, joint senior author and Head of the Nuffield Department of Women’s & Reproductive Health at the University of Oxford and @Wellbeing of Women who conducted a comprehensive analysis of over 8,000 endometriosis cases and 64,000 immunological disease cases
#lichensclerosus affects the vulva but in 20% of cases, affects other sites such as the perineum, upper trunk, axillae, buttocks and lateral thighs. It is a lifelong condition which can be managed Check out: https://www.lichensclerosusguide.org.uk/

#endometriosis can look like #legpain due to infiltration into Uterosacral ligaments and often gets passed as sciatica or pulled muscle in young women. So have that extra clinical suspicion and ask about a #period history if a woman or girl presents with leg pains 🎥 Janinehann4
hormonal imbalances linked to #PCOS can make it difficult for women to lose weight. Historic underfunding for PCOS-centred research also means there’s a serious lack of reliable, evidence-based guidance on the best ways to lose weight – and what PCOS symptoms may improve as a result So let’s push for better #evidencebased management options for PCOS which is a chronic condition

Replying to @emiliefraser_ I’m so sorry - not picking on you - but I had so many commenting they were doing #selfremoval of their #coil #contraception #drnighat
#me is a debilitating disease. I know my patients suffer getting support because the research and evidence base data is scanty - but I hope using the NICE -Myalgic encephalomyelitis (or encephalopathy)/chronic fatigue syndrome: diagnosis and management - helps provide guidance of what you are entitled to on the #NHS

Change in policy means more staff in the NHS & earlier, timely scan to detect breast cancer early. Currently the wait is getting longer and we have a shortage of female mammographers, means we are picking up breast cancer later. So what are your thoughts? Wait for more female mammographers or allow male mammograms, with a choice for female, informed consent and chaperoning? #gender medicine. #breastscreening #consent
#endometriosis colours and why it’s important to believe symptoms or be aware of #endometriosis regardless of tests - simply put, believe women & girls
