Next time someone says “it’s just a bit of vaginal dryness”
Show them this ⤵️
It’s barbaric that we leave women with these symptoms when Topical Vaginal Oestrogen, used twice weekly is literally life saving
Now this is a thread. And in my experience of groups, 10% of the people end up doing 90% of the work, and that is now the extraction/burnout pipeline is perpetuated. Choose your associates carefully and keep asking yourself the question 'Who and what is this for?'
Our team is developing the UK’s 1st national menopause education & support programme, with a focus on diversity. If you are trans, non-binary or gender diverse & (could be) affected by menopause please consider joining an online focus group. Message/email for info. Date tbc.

Today it was determined that the emergency ban on puberty blockers was lawful.
It was also:
•Scandalous
•Harmful
•Prejudiced
•Double standards
•Discriminatory
•Unkind
•Medically negligent
•Wrong
It is not for politicians to make decisions about clinical pathways. These decisions should always be made carefully, be based on the best evidence available, and be made by expert clinicians responsible for providing such healthcare.
As always, the media are clustering around #VichyNige like flies on sh1t. But the Green result is far more remarkable, as it happened without the massive publicity Reform was given.
