Osteoporosis is a condition that affects many women, particularly during and after menopause. Although it is commonly linked with ageing, osteoporosis is not something women must simply accept as they get older.

Pregnancy is an exciting journey, but it can come with some surprises along the way. One of these is Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM), which affects about 1 in 7 pregnant women in Australia. If you’ve recently been diagnosed, know that you’re not alone — and that with the right approach, you can feel healthy, confident, and prepared for your baby’s arrival.

Pelvic organ prolapse is when one or more of the pelvic organs drop from their normal position and press against the vaginal walls creating a bulge. This may occur after pregnancy, vaginal birth, or menopause. Women with moderate prolapse commonly describe a feeling of drag or heaviness at the vaginal entrance. They may also have low back or pelvic discomfort, incontinence, and difficulty holding a tampon inside. Women with mild prolapses may experience no symptoms at all.
