24.01.2022 If these symptoms fluctuate with your menstrual cycle then you may have oestrogen excess. Oestrogen excess does not occur because your body is making too much oestrogen but rather a problem with clearance and availability of oestrogen. Ways to help regain balance? Increase consumption of dietary fibre. Research shows that fibre reduces oestrogen levels in blood and urine.... Consume cruciferous vegetables like brussel sprouts, cabbage, broccoli and kale. These vegetables can increase the rate at which the liver converts oestrogen and excretes it from the body. Enhance the bodies elimination pathways through regular exercise, drinking water, regulating bowel movements Avoiding exposure to endocrine dysruptors. EDCs disrupt the way hormones work in your body. These chemicals are primarily found in everyday products like soft plastics, fragrances, cleaning detergents and even tap water. Consume phytoestrogens. They are compounds found in plant based foods that bind to oestrogen receptors and minimise the negative effects of oestrogen excess. They are found in soy based products (tempeh, tofu, soy beverages) flaxseeds, oats, brown rice, lentils, sprouts and legumes. #hormonalbalance #hormonalimbalance #womenshealth #fertilitysupport #fertilityawareness #fertilitytips #holistichormonebalancing #holistichormones #nutritionforhormones #hormonehealth #hormonehealing #hormonenutrition #naturopathic #naturopaths #womensfertility #endometriosisawareness #periodpains #periodpain

18.01.2022 Most of us gals put going to the doctor for an annual pelvic exam up there with going to the dentist. So do we really need to? Let’s talk about the real deal wi...th Paps and pelvics! The pelvic exam is where your doctor, NP, or midwife uses two gloved and lubed fingers to examine your vaginal canal and palpate your uterus and ovaries. She also has a look at your vulva and may use a speculum to have a peek at your cervix. The Pap smear is when your feet go in stirrups followed by insertion of a speculum and a cervical cell sampling to look for cervical dysplasia or cervical cancer and to check for HPV. A pelvic exam is usually done, too. While routine pelvic exams have been a mainstay of annual gyn exams, usually done with an annual Pap, they are typically not only embarrassing and uncomfortable but as a routine procedure, unnecessary. In fact, unnecessary exams may do more harm than good, leading to false positive findings, anxiety, and unnecessary subsequent testing. Further, they are being overdone in teen girls! That said, a pelvic exam may be necessary at times, for example, if you have unexplained vaginal bleeding, vaginal or pelvic pain, or signs of infection. It’s up to you, based on your medical needs and preferences, whether to have one done annually. Pap smear/HPV testing, however, is an important part of our health screening - but we now know thay they are not needed annually unless there is a finding that requires a follow-up. The most recent guidelines for paps are: Under Age 21: no Pap smear even if you're sexually active Age 21-29 Pap every 3 years, HPV testing only if Pap results aren't normal Age 30-65 Pap every 3 years OR Pap + HPV every 5 years OR HPV testing alone every 5 years So yeah, if everything’s normal, it’s just every 3 to 5 years, ladies! At the link below, you’ll find my blog/podcast on Everything You Need to Know About Pap Tests and HPV, and from there you’ll also find blogs/pods on what to do about positive test results, and more. It’s your complete tutorial on Paps and HPV! https://avivaromm.com/pelvic-exams/
