21.01.2022 DID YOU KNOW? Risk of occult malignancy at hysterectomy (April 2018) Women planning hysterectomy for benign disease are counseled about the small risk of detecting cancer at the time of surgery. In the largest study to date of women undergoing hysterectomy without known or suspected cancer at the beginning of surgery, 1.4 percent had uterine cancer, 0.60 percent had cervical cancer, and 0.19 percent had ovarian cancer [27]. Women age 55 and older had a higher risk of malignancy than women ages 45 to 54 years. These data are useful in counseling patients before hysterectomy. (www.uptodate.com)

16.01.2022 Did you know? Ovarian Reserve Test: If you above 35yrs of age and you have been trying to get pregnant for 6 months or more, it may be appropriate to have a formal check-up through your doctor or local fertility clinic. At WA GynaeScope we will likely include a test of your "egg reserve" in the form of AMH (Anti-Mullerian Hormone) to be part of your evaluation. This may then inform further decisions on your journey to conceive. GU

01.01.2022 Did you know? Difficulty with intercourse after having a baby can often be explained by the effects of breastfeeding on suppressing ovarian funcion. During lactation the brain produces certain hormones that "shut down" the ovaries temporarily. When weaning starts the ovaries resume their function and the woman starts having periods again. During lactation however there is less oestrogen supplied to the vaginal walls and this can lead to dryness and difficult intercourse. These effects can sometimes be reversed by using vaginal oestrogen. Feel free to discuss this problem with your GP or us here at WAGynaescope to look at some treatments appropriate for your specific situation. GU
