Ryan Cunningham+FollowAt-Home Smear Tests Are Coming!Big news: the NHS is about to send out at-home cervical smear test kits to women who’ve missed their regular screenings. No more awkward appointments—just a simple DIY kit you can do in your own space. This is all about catching cervical cancer early and making life easier for anyone who finds traditional screenings uncomfortable or inconvenient. If you’re between 25-64 and haven’t kept up with check-ups, keep an eye on your mailbox next year! #NHS #CervicalScreening #WomensHealth #Health13049Share
tuckerariel+FollowChildhood Stress & Endometriosis: Who Knew?Turns out, your childhood might have more to do with endometriosis than anyone thought. A massive Swedish study found that women who faced tough times growing up—like family addiction, moving a lot, or violence—were way more likely to get diagnosed with endometriosis later. The more adversity, the higher the risk. It’s wild to think how early life stress could mess with your immune system and pain levels years down the line. Mind and body really are connected! #EndometriosisAwareness #WomensHealth #MentalHealth #Health101Share
Dr. Ryan Newton+FollowPCOS: The Misinformation Maze No One Warns You AboutGetting diagnosed with PCOS felt like opening a can of worms—suddenly, my feed was full of self-proclaimed 'experts' pushing wild diets, unregulated supplements, and miracle cures. Turns out, a lot of what’s out there is total BS (like, no, cutting all carbs isn’t a magic fix). The real struggle? Sifting through all the noise just to find legit info and support. If you’re in the same boat, you’re not alone—and things are finally starting to change for the better. #PCOSAwareness #WomensHealth #Misinformation #Health #BodyHealth90Share
Jason Weaver+FollowYour Brain on Your Cycle: Wild New StudyDid you know your menstrual cycle might actually change how your brain pays attention to other women? A new brain imaging study found that during the mid-luteal phase (when progesterone is high), women were more accurate and engaged when focusing on female faces—but not male ones. The researchers think this could be your brain getting extra tuned in to female social cues, maybe for support or bonding. Hormones: not just for moods, apparently! #BrainScience #WomensHealth #MenstrualCycle #Health #BodyHealth60Share
Christian Boone+FollowCannabis Beats Pharma for Endo Pain?Turns out, most people with endometriosis who try cannabis say it works better than regular meds—and almost all of them plan to keep using it. 90% would even recommend it to others! But here’s the wild part: over half are getting it through unofficial channels and not telling their doctors, mostly because of stigma and legal fears. Makes you wonder if it’s time for a bigger convo about cannabis and women’s health. #Endometriosis #CannabisCommunity #WomensHealth #Health #BodyHealth320Share
Sarah Bennett+FollowContraceptive Pill & Brain Tumor Link?Just saw this study linking long-term use of the desogestrel contraceptive pill to a slightly higher risk of a non-cancerous brain tumor (meningioma). The risk is still super low—like 1 in 17,000 after 5+ years—but it’s something to keep in mind if you’ve been on it for a while. The good news? The risk drops if you stop taking it, and another pill, levonorgestrel, didn’t show the same risk. Worth chatting with your doc if you’re concerned! #HealthNews #WomensHealth #ContraceptiveAwareness #Health #BodyHealth00Share
Charles Christensen+FollowWhy Women’s Cancer Gets MissedIt’s wild how often women’s cancer symptoms get brushed off as anxiety, period pain, or menopause—sometimes for years—while the real issue goes undiagnosed. No wonder so many end up turning to sketchy wellness fads and alternative therapies when doctors don’t listen. The kicker? Delayed diagnosis can mean the difference between life and death. Trust in doctors is dropping, but falling for wellness influencers is even riskier. If something feels off, keep pushing for answers! #WomensHealth #CancerAwareness #MedicalGaslighting #Health #BodyHealth30Share
Melinda Gutierrez+FollowPeriod Pads That Could Spot Cancer?!Imagine your period pad doubling as a health check! Scientists just created a tiny device that fits inside menstrual pads and can spot early signs of diseases like ovarian cancer by detecting certain proteins in your blood. It even changes color if it finds something unusual—no needles, no fuss. Still in testing, but if it works, this could be a total game-changer for early detection and peace of mind. Would you try it? #HealthTech #WomensHealth #Innovation #Health #BodyHealth299Share
itaylor+FollowChildhood Trauma & Endo: The Hidden LinkJust learned that tough childhoods—like growing up around violence, loss, or family struggles—can seriously up your risk of endometriosis later in life. Swedish researchers found women with multiple childhood traumas had up to 60% higher risk, and those exposed to violence more than doubled their risk. Wild how mental and physical health are so connected! Makes you wonder how many women’s pain is being dismissed because docs aren’t seeing the full picture. #EndometriosisAwareness #MentalHealthMatters #WomensHealth #Health #BodyHealth232Share
