We also offer adjunct treatments for the following women's health conditions:

Osteoporosis

Osteoporosis literally means ‘porous bone’. It causes bones to become weak and fragile. It is not a painful condition and people with this condition generally do not have any symptoms. They may not even know they have osteoporosis unless they are either tested for it or their bones become so brittle that a fall or even a stress as mild as bending or coughing causes a fracture. In these circumstances pain can be intense and chronic.

Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS)

Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) can affect as up to 80% of women to some degree, involving a combination of physical and emotional symptoms connected to the menstrual cycle. Sex hormones as well as neurotransmitters can both contribute to PMS. Premenstrual syndrome has been classified into four subtypes, which are characterised by different symptoms and as such require different treatment approaches, although women can experience a combination of these symptoms. These symptoms can include Anxiety, Cravings, Bloating and water retention, depression.

Thyroid Dysfunction

Women are 10 times more likely to suffer from thyroid disease than men. The thyroid gland which is a butterfly shaped organ lying in front of the neck produces thyroxine (T4) and tri-iodothyronine (T3). T4 is also converted by the tissues and organs that need it into the active T3. There are two main causes for thyroid under activity (hypothyroidism) in the UK.

The main symptoms of hypothyroid are:

Fatigue
Weight gain
Poor temperature control
Thinning hair
Low mood

Polycystic Ovaries Syndrome (PCOS)

This is a common condition the affects a woman’s ovaries. It is estimated that about 1 in 10 women in the UK have PCOS. Women with PCOS can either have no symptoms or a variety of different symptoms including, excessive hair growth, acne, irregular or no periods, difficulty loosing weight and difficulty getting pregnant. PCOS is associated with an increased risk with developing health conditions later in life. These include type 2 diabetes and high cholesterol levels which could lead to cardiovascular problems.

Endometriosis

Endometriosis is a complex disorder that can affect women of any age, but especially those with a menstrual cycle. In endometriosis, cells similar to the ones present in the lining of the womb (called endometrial cells) can be found in other places in the body such as the ovaries or fallopian tubes. As a consequence, the cyclic monthly hormonal changes affect those tissues the same way they affect the lining of the womb, leading to bleeding, formation of scar tissue, pain and inflammation in those places. It is a very distressing condition that can often remain un-diagnosed. Symptoms can vary considerably from women to women and often include painful and heavy periods (that may stop you from doing your regular activities), pain during or after sex, painful bowel movements particularly during your period, fatigue and infertility.
