This is a now-or-never situation: we need to raise £85,000 by the beginning of June in order to pull this off. Otherwise, we're not going to be able to survive beyond a few months, and all activities, including on this account, will cease. https://t.co/jsp1PUUPWu

We're delighted to have been working with @cystersgroup, Aawaz, @community_oak, @BuryActiveWomen & @BameConnect to create sessions for the South Asian community to help raise awareness of the 5 gynae cancers and equip women with the information they need to get symptoms checked.

A lot of the clitoris is inside the body, but have you ever wondered how it fits together with your other internal organs? This 3D representation by clitoral anatomy legend Helen O'Connell shows you where it sits in relation to your bladder, uterus and vagina.

On this day in 1969, Apollo 11 splashed down, having safely returned from the moon. Later that year, the first menstrual pad with an adhesive hit the market, so you didn't have to use a belt. Men walked on the moon before you could buy a pad which stuck to your underwear.

Do you know all of the symptoms of #CervicalCancer?

It's important to remember these and go to the doctors to get checked if you develop any- even if you have recently had a clear cervical screening test.

You can also #AskEve for free info and advice on [email protected]

[Cysters 🎗 🍉 ✊🏿 @cystersgroup]

A new survey released today shows embarrassment was the most common reason for not booking a screening appointment (42%) and almost two-thirds (63%) said they were nervous when they did attend.

Abnormal vaginal bleeding can be a sign of 3 out of the 5 gynae cancers: womb, cervical and vaginal.

If you experience any abnormal bleeding- after the menopause, after sex, in-between periods, or heavier than is normal for you- call your GP or #AskEve on [email protected]
