⨠Do you need to take progesterone? ⨠This is one of the most common questions Iâm asked â and the answer is it depends. Progesterone is a hormone that naturally balances oestrogen. During perimenopause and menopause, levels drop, which can affect sleep, mood and cycle changes. đ If you still have your womb and youâre taking oestrogen as part of HRT, you usually need progesterone too. It protects the lining of the womb and reduces health risks. đ If youâve had a hysterectomy, you often don...

Ok ladiesâŚLetâs Talk Vag! Vaginal health is still one of the most misunderstood â and most ignored â parts of womenâs health. And that needs to change.

Why Does Society View Menopause So Negatively? Menopause isnât a failure. It isnât the end. And it certainly isnât something to be embarrassed about. Yet for decades, menopause has been wrapped in silence, stigma and stereotypes â reduced to jokes, whispers and the idea that women are somehow âpast their bestâ. Weâre taught to fear it. To hide it. To push through it quietly. And the result? Women blaming themselves for normal hormonal changes, feeling isolated, unsupported and questioning...
